SUBDIVISION REVIEW SHEET LOT(S): 3 COUNTY: Travis AGENT: Carlson, Brigance, and Doering,Inc (AJ Zorn) PC DATE: August 9, 2022 JURISDICTION: Limited Purpose (Charles Brigance) CASE NO.: C8J-2022-0177 SUBDIVISION NAME: Easton Park Section 4B East Preliminary Plan AREA: 21.067 acres OWNER/APPLICANT: Carma Easton, LLC ADDRESS OF SUBDIVISION: William Cannon and Finial GRIDS: L12 WATERSHED: North Fork Dry Creek EXISTING ZONING: Planned Unit Development (PUD) MUD PLAN: Pilot Knob MUD PROPOSED LAND USE: Mixed Residential, greenbelt/open space/drainage easement lots, and public ROW VARIANCES: None SIDEWALKS: Sidewalks will be provided along all internal streets and the boundary street. DEPARTMENT COMMENTS: The request is for the approval of the Easton Park 4B East Preliminary Plan. The plan is comprised of 3 lots on 21.067 acres, proposing 1 mixed residential lot, and 2 other lots for greenbelt/open space/drainage easement, and approximately 1,905 linear feet of right-of-way/streets. The property connects to William Cannon Road to the north and will realign a portion of Finial Drive (formerly named Colton Bluff Springs Road). The applicant also proposes to abandon a portion of Finial Drive for the realignment. The owners have submitted an application for this process with Travis County, and has received pre-approval from utility providers and other parties to the street abandonment area. Staff will be coordinating the abandonment application with the final plat application (out of this preliminary plan) to Court for final approval. Sidewalks are proposed on all streets. The proposed lots comply with the PUD zoning requirements for use and lot size. Parkland will be in compliance with the PUD. Water and wastewater will be provided by the City of Austin. Staff recommends approval of the preliminary plan, subject to the conditions listed in the attached comment report. After the conditions are met, the plan will comply with LDC 30-2-84. The conditions include remove or update notes, update engineer’s report and drainage information, etc. These are administrative actions that require no discretionary review. An application that has been approved with conditions may be updated to address those conditions until the application expires and the plan does not need to be heard before the Commission again. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the preliminary plan, subject to the conditions listed in the comment report dated August 3, 2022 and attached as Exhibit C.

Refer to the submittal calendar for a 911 Addressing Review - Janny Phung - janny.phung@austintexas.gov AD1: This plat review is rejected for the following: AD2: Please remove the punctuation marks from the following: 1. COLTON BLUFF SPRINGS RD in the vicinity map 2. THAXTON RD in the vicinity map AD3: Please label streets in the ROW. The vicinity map does not show where the ROW segments are, only the labels AD4: Please update labels for the following: 1. MC KINNEY FALLS PKWY is the correct street name for this project 2. E WILLIAM CANNON DR the directional E must be included 3. FM 1625 RD street type must be included AD5: Please update COTA VISTA DR (Proposed) as it reads here for the unbuilt section. Please update COTA VISTA DR (Existing) for the built section. AD6: Vacation of the approximately 1000 ft of FINIAL DR west of FLATBUSH DR breaks street name continuity. If you are going to proceed, then a new name will be needed for the 1,060 ft of FINIAL DR between FLATBUSH DR and FM 1625 RD. Since the street is already dedicated as FINIAL DR, then one of actions below need to be performed: 1. Submit a street name change process with the City of Austin for the portion of FINIAL DR between FLATBUSH DR and FM 1625 RD 2. Replat the Right-of-Way portion of FINIAL DR between FLATBUSH DR and FM 1625 RD with a new name which has been reviewed, approved, and reserved NOTE: Punctuation or diacritical marks cause confusion for first responders NOTE: MC KINNEY FALLS PKWY is incorrectly labeled as MCKINNEY FALLS PKWY on all sheets.

If it part of the system please amend the label to ‘open space/greenbelt park’ and amend note 10 on to the plans: Parkland dedication is required per Ordinance No. 20151217-080 prior to approval of a final plat in this subdivision. The area to be dedicated as parkland is shown on this preliminary plan as Lot 2, Block B and Lot 3 Block F. PR 2: Please provide a trails exhibit to show how the trail will connect to sections east and west of the plans. PR 3: Please amend the label on Lot 3 F to read ‘open space/ greenbelt park’. PR 4: Define the boundaries of the drainage easement and water quality easement on the greenbelt park/open space blocks. Defining the easements areas is required so that park areas are not at risk of being lost by “blanket” easements. Also credited park acres needs to be determined to include Lot 2 Block B PR5: Provide a table on sheet 2 similar to previous preliminary plans (this table shows credited park acres). Be sure to include the 11+ acres from Lot 2, Block B Parkland dedication credits Uplands 100 yr flood plain 25 yr flood plain Drainage/ WQ easement # acres # acres # acres # acres PR 6: Please show on an updated tracking table for the whole PUD that you are up XX acres of parkland for the number of units on preliminary plans so far. This is separate from the open space tables submitted with this updated, those need to be updated as well to include acres from Lot 2, Block B.(Acres determined after step in PR 4). PR 7: Contact a PARD reviewer or engineer’s of prior prelims to obtain the format for tracking tables for this prelim. Referenced as a Pilot Knob PUD Open Space Summary Table. Robynne.heymans@austintexas.gov Flood Plain Review - Kena Pierce - 512-978-1832 Applicant must remedy all compliance issues without creating additional compliance issues with the LDC and/or Criteria manuals. A response that fails to correct an issue, or which creates other issues does not comply with the LDC and is insufficient to address the comments. The comments provided describe an issue that must be remedied in order for the application to be approved. Any specific examples are provided as a courtesy and are not intended as an exhaustive list, especially as the site may be updated to have additional compliance issues. Contact this reviewer if you have any questions at kena.pierce@austintexas.gov Reviewer’s Notes: Previously reviewed under C8J-2021-0043 cases. For some reason all of those show up as expired (Looks like AWU rejected the Prelim and the subsequent ones died in CC). Modeling has been previously reviewed for this site. Information pertaining to the floodplain study part of the project is contained within the appendices of the engineer’s report. Only Detention Pond model is included in the DSD files. FP on plans in report is specifically called out as A14. RAS/HMS models provided to Intake at U0. Case previously reviewed – it is resubmitted because the last application expired. Currently the plan is to leave Finial/Colton Bluff Road in place albeit it will be abandoned. HMS model matches model provided with SP-2021-0235 and SP-2021-0360. RAS PostProject matches the same above-listed cases; the Pre project is different (when using a diffing program to initially see where any differences are proposed). FP 1. The site, as shown on the plan provided, is not in compliance with the following sections of the Land Development Code. Please correct your application to be in compliance with Code 25-7-8/ 30-4-7 – Computation of Storm Runoff. a. Please submit the latest approved modeling to intake. b. RAS: In Pre project plan – XS 1250 should have blocked obstruction for the pond/low area on the right overbank. Also confirm downstream reach lengths as they are different between Pre and Post conditions but the cross sections are in the same location & orientation and are not changing. FP 2. The site, as shown on the plan provided, is not in compliance with the following sections of the Land Development Code. Please correct your application to be in compliance with Code 25-7-33 /30-4-33 – Floodplain Maps, Delineation, and Depiction. a. Please confirm or update the regulatory floodplain delineated by the latest approved modeling. b. Applicant must provide grading exhibit from the subdivision plans upstream of, and adjacent to, Cota Vista to prove that rises in WSEL are contained to existing drainage easement. If the rises are not contained to drainage easement, easement will need to be obtained prior to Subdivision Construction of this plan. The reason this is asked for now is to be able to easily carry forward a comment so we don’t have to re-review the models at subdivision construction unless there are changes to the grading that aren’t shown in the models here. The following are FYI comments from the model review. FYI: Geometries on Trib 1 are significantly different – though in most cases it looks like the part that is changing is outside the FP area or in the fringe and may be accurate per proposed grading for the development on either side, it still makes it hard to visually compare both geometries against each other. As such, review is limited to the area around the changing crossings instead. FYI: post project does not account for area 5A (this isn’t an issue for this case, just a statement for tracking purposes) FYI: RAS: Pre project conditions has different flows for Trib 1 than post project conditions. Confirm this is accurate (based on recent conversations, the applicant is using fully developed post project modeling HMS for both pre and post conditions to get an apples-to-apples comparison for water surface impacts while it is the drainage reviewer’s job to ensure that flows leaving the site are less than or equal to pre project conditions). Be aware that if it IS accurate that more flow is leaving the site in post project conditions than in pre project conditions, this project is considered non-compliant with code and cannot be administratively approved. • Per updated modeling provided at 1030 am on 7/28/2022, this issue has been addressed and the flows match in both versions and match HMS modeling. Modeling needs to be submitted at next update through DSD Intake so that there is a cohesive and complete case file. FYI: RAS Trib 2 – XS 837 should have the proposed detention pond in the right overbank, but since the proposed pond is outside the floodplain, there would be no change to the model results if they pond is entered. FYI: Correcting for the flows issue and the blocked obstruction issue listed above reduces the rises in water surface elevation to only occur upstream of Cota Vista and on Easton Park property. Applicant must confirm that rises in WSEL will be contained to drainage easement (I’m mostly concerned about the rises immediately upstream of Cota Vista on the right side as the floodplain is coincident with single family residential lots. Not correcting the flows/blocked obstruction/DS reach length results in larger rises in WSEL between pre and post.) AW Utility Development Services - Derek Tucker - 512-972-0077 AW1.
