TO: Mayor & City Council
Grayson Path, City Manager
FROM: Andrew Mack, City Planner
SUBJECT: J.C. Miles Subdivision Preliminary Plat
DATE: April 12, 2021
BACKGROUND: Developer Russ Davis on behalf of Linda and Johnny Miles were approved for
a zoning change to a Two -Family Dwelling District in March 2021. The proposed development is
for single-family and two-family homes. Denney Land Surveying, LLC submitted a Preliminary
Plat for the J.C. Miles Subdivision.
STATUS OF ISSUE: The preliminary plat submitted did not meet the City of Paris Code of
Ordinances. City staff requested a number of revisions to the surveyor. The developer has
requested a 30 -day extension in order to work with the surveyor for those revisions. Mr. Davis
would like to resubmit the plat for the May 3, 2021 Planning & Zoning meeting.
The Texas Local Government Code states the following:
Sec. 212.009. APPROVAL PROCEDURE: INITIAL APPROVAL.

in addition to the planning commission, the governing body shall approve, approve with conditions, or disapprove
the plan or plat within 30 days after the date the plan or plat is approved by the planning commission or is
approved by the inaction of the commission. A plan or plat is approved by the governing body unless it is
disapproved within that period and in accordance with Section 212.0091.
(b-2) Notwithstanding Subsection (a) or (b), the parties may extend the 30 -day period described by
those subsections for a period not to exceed 30 days if.
(1) the applicant requests the extension in writing to the municipal authority responsible for
approving plats or the governing body of the municipality, as applicable, and
(2) the municipal authority or governing body, as applicable, approves the extension request.
RECOMMENDATION: Recommend a 30 -day extension for the J.C. Miles Subdivision
Preliminary Plat for the Planning & Zoning Commission to review.
