Staff Report & Agenda Item Details

Texas Local Government Code (TXLGC) Section 232.010, titled “Exception to Plat Requirement: County Determination” provides that “a commissioners court of the county may allow conveyance of portions of one or more previously platted lots by metes and bounds description without revising the plat.” The owner of Lot 4, Block A, Jaketown Subdivision in the City of Austin ETJ requests that the commissioners court allow conveyance of portions of Lot 4, Block A, of the Jaketown Subdivision, a subdivision recorded in Document No. 201400122 of the Official Public Records of Travis County, Texas, more commonly known as 12208 FM 969, Austin, Texas 78724, by metes and bounds description without revising the plat. The Jaketown Subdivision final plat was recorded on May 14, 2014, at Document No. 201400122, Official Public Records of Travis County, Texas. Lot 4, Block A of the Jaketown Subdivision was originally platted as a 27.241-acre lot. The owner desires to divide Lot 4, Block A, Jaketown Subdivision into two tracts. The owner states that “the proposed conveyance will divide a portion of Lot 4, Jaketown Subdivision into two tracts exceeding ten (10) acres each. No public streets, rights-of-way, parks, or other areas intended for public or common use will be created as part of the conveyance.” This proposed division of Lot 4, Block A of the Jaketown Subdivision by metes and bounds will preserve all existing subdivision conditions and restrictions associated with Jaketown Subdivision, including a variance to Title 30-2-213(A) to allow parkland dedication at time of site plan, transfer of 0.0922 acres of impervious cover from Lot 4 to Lot 1, a 30’ Joint Access Easement, and water quality responsibilities.
