The approval also included an installation of four-way stop signs at the intersection to prevent accidents.
The overview
The developer—GR-M1 Ltd., a developer with Rise Communities LLC, which is a developer for Meridiana—will mill and overlay the full width of the existing asphalt on Jordan Street along the project boundary, according to city documents.
The variance was granted because constructing the required concrete half-street would have created a disjointed roadway condition, officials said.
The subdivision variance is in correlation with over seven acres of land at that intersection. The land will have commercial development with a potential gas station and convenience store. The remainder of the land will be a future residential section, according to city documents.
Diving in deeper
While there will be no sidewalk along Jordan Street, a 6-foot sidewalk will be built on Meridiana Parkway in front of the commercial development, officials said.
The milling and overlay of Jordan Street will be timed to occur with the construction of Meridiana Section 16 to prevent any road damage from trucks during construction, Ian Knox, a representative from Houston-based EHRA Engineering, said at the meeting.
The four-way stop signs will also be installed when Meridiana Section 16 is platted.
