Summary

This application is a request by Tivia Bryan of Allen & Company, applicant and agent for Troon Creek LLC, property owner, for consideration of the final plat of Briarwood Phase 2 and 3, which proposes to subdivide a ±45.16 acre subject property into a total of 145 lots with associated common areas and road right-of-way.

The subject property consists of Tax Parcel Number 03044-010-003, and is located in the 17000 block of CR 235A, west of CR 235A and Santa Fe High School, south of the Meadowglen subdivision, and north of the Santa Fe Hills subdivision.

A portion of the subject property was part of the previously proposed Benton Hills development, for which a preliminary plat was approved on January 11, 2016 by the City Commission. The preliminary plat for Briarwood was approved on November 4, 2019 by the City Commission. The construction plans for Phase 1 were approved by the City on June 11, 2020. The Final Plat for Phase 1 of Briarwood was approved November 9, 2020. The Construction Plans for Phases 2 and 3 were approved on September 20, 2022.

The proposed Briarwood subdivision consists of lots ranging size from ±7,500 square feet to ±12,196 square feet, with the majority of lots between ±7,500 square feet and ± 8,000 square feet. As proposed with the preliminary plat, the lots located along the northern portion of the site are a minimum of 8,309 square feet in area and a minimum of 72 feet wide. The plat proposes a series of common areas throughout the project area and along the northern and eastern boundaries.  A 50’ wide common area will be located between any lots and the northern property line, including an approximately 15’ wide area outside of the stormwater drainage system.

Development within the proposed subdivision will connect to potable water and wastewater facilities. Stormwater for the proposed development would be conveyed to and treated by a connected, distributed linear network of retention basins to be located throughout the subject property.  An analysis of the development’s impact on other public facilities, including transportation, potable water, sanitary sewer, solid waste, and public schools, is provided within this report.

Section 2.4.10(G)(5) of the City’s Land Development Regulations (LDRs) establishes the requirements for a final plat. An analysis of the application’s compliance with the applicable standards of this section has been provided within this report.

At the September 26, 2022 meeting, the Commission voted to defer the item until the October 10, 2022 Commission meeting.
