Title
Approving a Plat Vacation of the Villages of Hidden Lake, Phase 6A final plat, a 23.04-acre subdivision out of the George M. Martin Survey No. 9, Abstract No. 529 in Travis County, Texas. (FP1311-09)
 
Summary
Villages of Hidden Lake Phase 6A is located north of Pflugerville Pkwy, east of Becker Farm Rd. in the "peninsula" located next to Lake Pflugerville. The property is located in the ETJ and subject to the Pflugerville East Development Agreement which among other things, identified a single-family detached land use for the area. The Villages of Hidden Lake, Phase 6A final plat was approved in 2007 and includes 90 single-family lots on 23.04 acres. No lots have been sold to date and the owner of the property has identified a need to divide the project into two phases as well as adjust lot lines to add a pedestrian access point to Lake Pflugerville. In order to accommodate the desired phasing and adjusted design, the existing plat is proposed to be vacated and replaced in the near future with two new phased final plats.
 
Fiscal security was posted with the original final plat, allowing the plat to be recorded prior to the construction of public infrastructure. As a result, no public improvements or utilities are within the final plat area and concurrence letters from utility providers have been received identifying no objection to the proposed plat vacation. Located within the ETJ, the proposed plat vacation will also be considered by Travis County.
 
Staff Recommendation
While the subdivision has been established with separate lots, property ownership has not transferred. The proposed plat vacation will allow the owner to make necessary adjustments and phase the development as desired. No objections have been received from other utility providers and Travis County Staff will be recommending approval of the plat vacation. Staff recommends approval of the proposed request.
