PLANNING
1. Plat is missing a call along south of the phase boundary for closure.
2. Revise and resubmit page 2 of the application. The total acreage for this phase is
37.43 acres. What is the acreage of R-1 in this phase? It shows 020. I'm guessing it
is 24.43.
3. What is the status of the compressor station, it does not become R-1 until the entire
site is removed and abandoned.
4. Parkland development fees will be required if the park is not developed privately.
5. Show city limits in key map.
6. It would be possible to combine phases 1 and 2 in one preliminary plat.
7. Remove Note 14.
8. Clearly delineate Greens Prairie Road ROW dedication.
9. Provide thoroughfare classification for Waterford Drive and Greens Prairie Road.
10.Provide note that no residential driveways shall take access from Waterford Drive or
Greens Prairie Road.
11.What is the purpose of the bold lines on along the ROW? They make it difficult to
locate the sidewalk, and define the phase line.
12.AlI roads should state the name, the ROW width and the pavement width, i.e.,
Brazos Landing Drive
50' ROW 27' pavement
13.Where are fire hydrants?
14.Sidewalks are required along Greens Prairie Road (8-M of the Subdivision
Regulations). Provide or request a variance.
15.What is the block length for Waterford Drive between Victoria and Cross Creek?
16.Lot 3 and 4, Block 6 do not meet minimum R-1 zoning lot dimensions. Also Lot 9,
Block 5.

ENGINEERING COMMENTS NO. 1
1. Having prior rights and being allowed to go in another entity's easement (Note 9) are not
the same thing. The City requires prior rights so we will not have to relocate utilities at the
request of the easement owner.
2. Even if "first rights" were assigned to the City of College Station by the existing easement
owners, there are a number of underground lines in the easements along Greens Prairie
Road which would make dedicating a PUE on top of the existing easements and placing
additional infrastructure in the easements highly improbable. This is one of the reasons
that Castlegate has the large Common/Buffer Area along Greens Prairie Road. You
should take this into consideration in your design.
3. The words "Preliminary Plat— Not for Record" are required to be in letters 'A" high.
4. Why not combine Phases 1 and 2 into a single Preliminary Plat? You can Final Plat each
phase separately off the Preliminary.
5. State the number of lots and corresponding blocks in Title Block.
6. Show all existing easements and provide volume and page numbers.
7. Unless there is a Preliminary Plat showing the remaining 10' of the required 20' PUE along
rear of all lots, then the entire 20' PUE is required along rear of lots abutting unplatted
property.
8. Some of your leader notes are cut off on right hand side of plat.
9. Woodlake subdivision is noted in the wrong location.
10. All of the lines along Greens Prairie Road are too difficult to decipher.
11. It appears that your plat boundary creates a strip of "no mans land" around perimeter of
the plat. Boundary should follow legal lot lines and/or right-of-way
12. Public utilities need to be out from under pavement where practical.
13. You have more water and sanitary sewer lines proposed than necessary to serve this
development. Many of the lots have sewer and water along the front and back. Why is
there a water line and sanitary sewer line along greens Prairie Road?
14. Is sanitary sewer line along green's Prairie connected to line in Waterford Drive?
15. More clearly define the storm sewer layout.
16. Remove proposed gas line delineation from Preliminary Plat. There are too many lines in
the area of the water line, so it is hard to tell what is proposed.
17. Your legend shows "SS" for proposed sanitary sewer, but the plat shows "S". I am
assuming both denote sanitary sewer.
18. Indicate proposed preliminary water and sanitary line sizes.
19. Water line between Lots 3 and 4, Block 6 needs to be in PUE. So do water and sewer
along Greens Prairie Road.
20. Show fire hydrant locations. Ensure they meet spacing requirements.
21. A portion of this development is located in the Spring Creek Sewer Impact Fee Area 97-
01. Impact fees are due at time of building permit.
22. Verify the horizontal alignment meets design criteria for respective street classifications.
23. Show that all intersections have appropriate sight distances in accordance with latest
addition of AASHTO's "A Policy on Geometric Design of Highways and Streets".
24. Additional comments may arise with revised submittals.
