However, on the replat, the applicant did not provide us a water easement or water easements for the purposes of extending water as well as providing them for our fire hydrants as required in our subdivision ordinance.

3:29

While we have worked with the applicant uh diligently, um there wasn't sufficient time for them to provide us plans before the meeting and per state law uh action has to be taken on a plat.

3:40

So therefore staff is recommending denial of the replat as a result of it not meeting the subdivision ordinance.

  • Replat of Carrollton Commerce Center, Phase 5, Block A, Lot 2R (Case PLRP 2020‑3X1): Staff recommended denial because the applicant did not provide required water easements per subdivision ordinance. A motion to approve as submitted failed; only Commissioner Powell voted in favor.

The applicant stated the diesel fueling area would not include overnight truck parking, showers, lounge, or restaurant; only a truck scale would be provided.
