About this application

The property owner asks to remove the word "playground" from the recorded plat of Eagle Ranch Subdivision No. 2 so a single-family home can be built on Lot 2, Block 3. The 0.98-acre lot is at 349 E. Ranch Drive, on the south side of the street about 1,000 feet east of Eagle Road. The lot was never developed as a playground, and a similar request was denied by the City Council in February 2024.

Robert DeShazo, represented by KM Engineering LLP, is requesting a vacation of a plat note applicable to Lot 2, Block 3, of the Eagle Ranch Subdivision No. 2 final plat. The applicant requests the word PLAYGROUND be vacated to allow for the development of a future single-family residential dwelling on the property formerly entitled as a common lot. The 0.98-acre lot is located on the south side of E. Ranch Drive, approximately 1,000-feet east of the Eagle Road intersection.
