Item: Presentation, possible action and discussion on a Preliminary Plat for The Villages of
Indian Lakes Phase lila and a portion of Phase I, including a replat of lots 5-R & 6-R, consisting
of 15 lots on 50.14 acres located at Arrington Road, approximately 1/4 mile outside the southern
edge of College Station, within the City's Extra-Territorial Jurisdiction (ETJ).
Applicant: Travis Martinek, agent for Smiling Mallard Development, LTD., property owner
Staff Recommendations: Staff recommends approval of the Preliminary Plat.
ETJ Plats - Brazos County's comments and recommendations: None
Item Summary: This item is for consideration of a Preliminary Plat for a new section of the
Indian Lakes development that continues the general pattern of large lot single-family
development. The plat includes two phases along the western edge of the Indian Lakes
Development. Phase lila contains 13 lots ranging from 1.0 to 2.5 acres, plus 5.03 acres of HOA
common area along the site's natural drainage-way. Phase I includes a replat of two large lots
of 4.61 acres and 17.83 acres.
Comprehensive Plan Considerations: Indian Lakes is in College Station's ETJ. The Land
Use Plan shows most of the land to be developed at a rural density (very low density residential
development with agricultural and support uses), however, the city does not control land use in
the ETJ, but does share platting authority with the county. Access to Phase lila will be from the
existing Indian Lakes Drive, which is shown on the Thoroughfare Plan as a major collector.
Access to Phase I will be from Arapahoe Ridge Drive and Cochise Court in Phase lila.
Item Background: A Master Development Plan was approved for the Indian Lakes Subdivision
in 2002. A number of development phases have been platted since that time.
Commission Action Options: The Commission has final authority over the Preliminary Plat.
The options regarding the Preliminary Plat are:
■ Approval
▪ Denial
