ITEM SUMMARY:
According to UDC Sec. 21.12.6.A.2.a, a subdivision master plan is required for any development in which the property is undeveloped, is under one (1) ownership, and is greater than fifty (50) acres in size. The proposed Heritage Oaks Subdivision Master Development Plan is for approximately 66.05 acres and proposes 214 residential lots. On May 11, 2021 the City Council approved Ordinance 21-S-15, which approved a zone change to Planned Development District for the "Heritage Oaks Neighborhood". The associated Planned Development District design standards identified that there will be one minimum lot size as described below, and within the Heritage Oaks PDD Design Standards attached to this report.

The proposed Master Development Plan has been reviewed in accordance with Ordinance No. 21-S-15 and was determined to comply with the PDD Design Standards as identified in the Heritage Oaks Subdivision PDD. 
GENERAL LOCATION AND SITE DESCRIPTION:
The subject property is an approximately 67 acre tract of land generally located southwest of the intersection between Schertz Parkway and Wiederstein Road. Currently, the property is undeveloped and was previously platted as part of the Live Oak Hills subdivision, which is considered a paper subdivision as full roadway and utilities were not constructed. 
ACCESS AND CIRCULATION:
The Heritage Oaks Subdivision Master Development Plan has access onto Wiederstein Road which will be extended through the subdivision from Schertz Parkway to Wiederstein Road within the City of Selma. Additionally, English Oak Drive will provide a connection from Wiederstein Road to the southern portion of the proposed subdivision. In addition, there is a proposed Emergency Access Easement that will connect the southern portion of Unit 1, around the GVEC substation and back to Wiederstein Road in order to provide another point of emergency access to this portion of the subdivision. In addition to the proposed right of ways, there are also proposed Alley Ways which provide another means of ingress / egress throughout the subdivision. 
TREE MITIGATION AND PRESERVATION:
Per the approved zoning Ordinance 21-S-15, there are no tree mitigation requirements for Protected or Heritage Class trees in the Heritage Oaks subdivision. Additionally, per the PDD, a minimum of fifty percent (50%) of the total Heritage Trees within the Heritage Oaks subdivision must be preserved. Tree preservation will be reviewed with the platting of the property. 
PUBLIC SERVICES:
The site will be serviced by the City of Schertz for water, Cibolo Creek Municipal Authority (CCMA), Charter Spectrum, AT&T, CPS, and Center Point Energy.
PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS:
All public improvements required for this subdivision are required to be installed prior to recording of the final plat per UDC, Section 21.4.15., unless otherwise specified in an approved development agreement. 

Water: The proposed subdivision will be extending a City of Schertz 12 inch water line from Schertz Parkway within the Wiederstein Road and English Oak Drive right of ways. Additionally, this 12 inch water line will be extended through the proposed Emergency Access Easement from Wiederstein Road around the GVEC substation to English Oak Drive. Furthermore, all residential lots will connect to internally looped 8-inch water lines

Sewer: The proposed subdivision will be extending a City of Schertz 8-inch sewer line throughout the subdivision. Additionally, the subdivision is proposing to relocate a Cibolo Creek Municipal Authority Reclaimed Water Main from the Wiederstein Road right of way to a proposed five foot easement between a proposed alley way and drainage easement. 

Drainage: The applicant is responsible for all drainage associated with the subject property and compliance with the Storm Water regulations. A preliminary drainage report has been reviewed and approved by the City Engineer.

Sidewalks, Hike and Bike Trails: A 10 foot width hike and bike trail will be constructed along Dietz Creek the entire length of the subdivision. A trail easement will be granted to the City of Schertz to connect Schertz Parkway to the Dietz Creek hike and bike trail. Two trail heads will be established internal to the subdivision in order to connect proposed streets to the hike and bike trail. A 10 foot width multi-use path will be constructed along the westbound lane of the Wiederstein Road extension from Schertz Parkway to the City of Selma. 5 foot width sidewalks will be constructed along the eastbound lane of the Wiederstein Road extension from Schertz Parkway to the City of Selma and on both sides of all remaining roadways.

Road Improvements: All residential lots proposed will front roadways within the subdivision. Roads will be constructed with curb, gutter, and sidewalks. Alleys are provided for lots fronting the Wiederstein Road extension and will be designated as no parking areas and striped as fire lanes.
