Three plats, including the next piece of the Crossmill subdivision, are on the agenda when Princeton's Planning and Zoning Commission holds a special meeting at 6:30 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 7, at the Princeton Municipal Center.
The meeting replaces the commission's regular Oct. 5 session, which the city canceled.
Crossmill Phase 1B
Forestar (USA) Real Estate Group is seeking a final plat for Crossmill Phase 1B, 31.852 acres at the northeast corner of Cypress Bend Parkway and Myrick Lane. A final plat creates buildable lots and records easements.
The land sits in Princeton's extraterritorial jurisdiction rather than inside the city, according to a memo from Development Services Director Shai Roos. The development was first expected to come into the city limits, but during talks on its development agreement the applicant chose to stay in the ETJ inside a municipal utility district.
Princeton controls platting there and will supply water and wastewater service, while Collin County issues building permits.
The plat lays out 10 residential streets, each 50 feet wide. Those streets, and Cypress Bend Parkway, will be private, and the memo says the city will not maintain them. Phase 1B will have two entrances from Cypress Bend Parkway and connect to Brookside Boulevard through Phase 1A.
Staff and the city's outside engineers found the plat consistent with its approved preliminary plat. Platting is ministerial under state law, the memo notes: a plat that meets city rules must be approved, and one not acted on within 30 days can be approved automatically.
Business park lot and a contested plat
The commission will also take up a conveyance plat from RERR LLC for 10.013 acres in the Princeton Business Park on Corporate Drive, land the staff memo says had belonged to the Princeton Economic Development Corporation. A conveyance plat lets land be sold but does not allow construction; the owner would need further plats and engineering approval before building.
