Public hearings set on North Grove, Emory Lakes developments
Waxahachie Daily Light
Two public improvement districts, one existing and the other in the process of forming, drew the attention of the Waxahachie City Council during Monday night’s regular meeting.
The City Council approved a resolution adding details to the North Grove Public Improvement District. In a separate resolution, the council accepted a petition to create the Emory Lakes Public Improvement District. In both matters, a public hearing will be held, on April 19 for the former and April 5 for the latter.
In the North Grove matter, the council will determine the costs of certain improvements to be financed by the North Grove PID. The resolution also sets a preliminary service plan and assessment plan. The public hearing will be on an ordinance levying assessments on property located within Improvement Area No. 2 of the PID.
Planned development at U.S. 287, child care SUP get nods
Waxahachie Daily Light
In a very short meeting on Tuesday night, the Waxahachie Planning and Zoning Commission approved two replats, a special-use permit for an existing child care facility and a zoning change for a planned development.
In a matter that drew brief but pointed discussion, a replat of a 0.371-acre property into two lots at 604 Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard was approved. The former residence on that site has been demolished and no new development has taken place since. A right-of-way waiver of 10 feet was also granted.
Commissioner Betty Square Coleman objected to the small size of the two resulting lots, saying that one house on the larger existing lot would be more attractive. However, Chairman Rick Keeler said the construction on the two subdivided lots would match the homes that were across the street.
