Dirt work in Aspen Park

Denton CAD shows Phase I approved June 12, 2006 and filed September 19, 2007, and Phase 2 approved and filed July 14, 2023. The roll has 131 Phase 1 accounts and 85 Phase 2 accounts, with 129 houses on the Phase 1 accounts and 80 houses on the Phase 2 accounts.

Built lots start at about 6,900 square feet. The largest built Phase 1 lot is about 17,800 square feet. The largest built Phase 2 lots are about 8,700 square feet. SF-6, which Phase 2 keeps, is a 6,000-square-foot minimum, 60 feet wide and 100 feet deep. The planned development changes the rear setback from 10 feet to 15 feet, the side setback from 6 feet to 5 feet, maximum lot coverage from 40 percent to 55 percent, and minimum floor area from 1,200 square feet to 1,500 square feet. The machine, the spoil, and a driveway base have to fit that yard. Two Phase 1 accounts with no improvement year are labeled open space on the appraisal legal line: Lot 19, Block B, about 3.85 acres, and Lot 21, Block D, about 3.08 acres.

USDA maps Sanger clay, 1 to 3 percent slopes, as the more extensive unit on both phases, and Mingo clay loam, 1 to 3 percent slopes, as the other main unit. Both are Hydrologic Soil Group D. USDA NRCS SSURGO reports horizon depths in centimeters. Sanger is clay from the surface to about 97 centimeters (about 38 inches). Mingo is clay loam to 28 centimeters (about 11 inches) and clay to 74 centimeters (about 11 to 29 inches). Lithic bedrock in Mingo is at a representative depth of 74 centimeters (about 29 inches), range 51 to 86 centimeters (about 20 to 34 inches), about 2 to 3 feet down, which matters for a footing or a trench. USDA rates both very limited for local roads and streets, for shrink-swell and low strength, and very limited for septic tank absorption fields, for slow water movement. The Mingo septic rating also cites depth to bedrock. Phase 1 edges also include Sanger clay on 3 to 5 percent slopes, Slidell clay on 1 to 3 percent slopes, and Somervell gravelly loam on 1 to 5 percent slopes. Phase 2 also touches Ponder loam on 1 to 3 percent slopes.

Grading, yard drainage, driveway base, utility trenches, footings, stump grinding, and clearing on the house lot. Demolition runs from a shed or a slab up to a house, with haul-off. A pond, dam, or spillway is for acreage that can hold water, not these house lots. Septic work is the excavation and the spoil haul-off for a licensed installer. We do not install the system.

It is the Phase 2 park-land lot. Ordinance No. 2022-01-02 concentrates the park-land dedication there, about 55,600 square feet, and Denton CAD shows that account at 55,600 square feet with no improvement year. The ordinance proposes common and drainage lots 8X, Block H and 1X, Block J. The appraisal roll lists Lot 9X, Block H and Lot 1X, Block J, not 8X as the Block H lot. It also lists Lot 12X, Block C and Lot 1X, Block K, with no improvement year. The ordinance contemplates a concrete hike-and-bike trail at least 10 feet wide. Only the cost credit for that trail is tied to a separate development agreement. We quote the homeowner's house lot. We will not dig the park lot or a common and drainage lot.

Chapter 14, section 20 says areas zoned SF-6 shall have City of Krum water and sewer and paved concrete streets. Ordinance No. 2022-01-02 uses that SF-6 standard as the base for the Phase 2 planned development, except where Exhibit B changes the rear setback from 10 feet to 15 feet, the side setback from 6 feet to 5 feet, lot coverage from 40 percent to 55 percent, and minimum floor area from 1,200 square feet to 1,500 square feet. Minimum lot area, width, and depth stay with SF-6. Exhibit B does not change that utility standard. Confirm what your lot is connected to before any trench. The standard is not a statement that every Aspen Park lot is on a sewer main. If a septic system is actually being built, we dig and haul spoil for your licensed installer. We do not install the system.

Krum ISD is the school taxing unit on all 216 accounts. The district lists Krum High School, Krum Middle School, Blanche Dodd Elementary, Hattie Dyer Elementary, and Dixie Hansel Elementary. The campus for a house is an address lookup on the district's attendance-zone locator. This page does not assign one elementary to the addition.

Denton CAD's municipality layer places both phase centroids in Krum, and all 216 accounts are in the City of Krum taxing unit. Ordinance No. 2022-01-02 describes the Phase 2 tract as inside the corporate limits. Building permits inside the city go through the City of Krum permit portal, which lists 940-482-3491 for questions. Denton County Development Services is the desk for unincorporated county land, including a culvert on a county-maintained road. You own the permit unless we agree in writing to pull it.

Call or text (940) 435-4727 with the address and a few photos of the yard, or use the form on this page. Hours are Mon–Fri 7 AM–5 PM, closed Saturday and Sunday. The quote is a defined scope after we see the lot.
