This property is currently zoned Single-P'ainily Residential District-7 (R-7).

This property is adjacent to a principal arterial street {Sehertz Parkway) and as such must comply with additional design requirements of the UDC, Section 21.14.3 which include a 20-foot landscaping buffer, an 8-foot tall masonry wall and a 50-foot building setback line adjacent to Sehertz Parkway.

For Tree Preservation, they will pay $2,950 for the removal of 59 inches of protected trees, A minimum of 25% of the trees must be preserved; for the development the owner is saving 50%. This plat is adjacent to Maske Loop and the developer is proposing to plat a portion into residential lots; two small sections will remain right-of--way and become part of Misty Cove and Oak Valley. The portion of Maske Loop that is remaining will becoirte a hike and bike trail. The City Council considered the proposed abandonment of Maske Laop Road, Ordinance 12-M-11, on May 8, 2012. Council approved the request for approximately 0.24 acres of the right-of--way to be platted into residential Lots 10 through 14 of Block 3 and common Lot 1 S, Block 3 with the remaining portions of Maske Loop becoming a future hike and bike trail and incorporated into a portion of Misty Cove and Oalc Valley. The Parks Master Plan states the intent is to locate hike and bike trails adjacent to easements and this proposed trail is located adjacent to a drainage easement on Lot 9, Lat 7 and Lot l5. An agreement between the City and the owner will be established regarding the design and construction of the hike and bike trail system before the final plat is filed. The intersection of Maske Loop at Schertz Parkway has been barricaded and has not been in use for several years. Before this subdivision is approved for final plat the developing engineer will conduct a sight distance study of the elevation at Schertz Parkway and the proposed Misty Cove intersection.
