Commissioner Evans mentioned that the cover sheet of the plat exhibit appears to have the caIlout of Phase
A placed in the wrong location and that it should be placed on top of the actual Phase A area.
Mr. Cox suggested that the issue can be addressed with a condition of approval.
Mr. Braud asked about a temporary water and wastewater easement on page 1.
Mr. Cox explained that a future roadway will be located along the portion where the temporary water and
wastewater easement is located. He mentioned other easements that would be recorded as separate
instruments.
Commissioner Crawford made a motion to approve the project with noted modifications. Commissioner
Glombik seconded. Commissioner Dahle abstained. Commissioners Evans, Richmond, Crawford, Braud,
and Glombik voted aye. Motion passed to approve project with noted modification.
B. PC2015 -046
Consider and act upon a request for approval of a final plat of The Crossvine Module- 1, Unit 2 — Phase B,
an approximately 24 acre tract of land situated in the Julian Diaz Survey No. 66, Abstract 187, County
Block 5059, City of Schertz, Bexar County, Texas, generally located west of FM 1518 approximately 500
feet south from the intersection of Longleaf Parkway and FM 1518.
Mr. Cox made a project presentation. This is the second portion, Phase B, of the plat. Lot layout is the
same, the access would be granted at two points of access off Hollering Vine. Phase A would need to be
constructed prior to Phase B. This Phase incorporates a ROW dedication for the future expansion of FM
1518. Phase B includes 71 single family lots that are consistent with the approved PDD. This plat exhibit
also has the same phase labeling located offset from the actual Phase B region, so it can also be addressed
with a condition of approval.
Chairman Richmond asked the applicant about the reasoning behind splitting the Unit into two phases.
Mr. Malone, the civil engineer, responded indicating that it has to do with the construction timeframe to
allow for delivery of Phase A approximately 90 -100 days quicker than if it was constructed and approved all
at the same time. The construction improvements for Phase A will be completed prior to completion of
Phase B.
Chairman Richmond asked for further comments from the Commissioners.
Commissioner Braud made a motion to approve the project with the note modification. Commissioner
Glombik seconded motion. Commissioner Dahle abstained. Commissioners Evans, Richmond, Crawford,
Braud, and Glombik voted aye. Motion passed to approve project with noted modification.
