Response to Staff Review Comments No. 2
Castle Rock Subdivision
Preliminary Plat(Revised)
PLANNING:
1. The title block zoning infonnation has been changed to PDD.
2. Note#3 has been changed back to PDD.
For informational purposes,please note that this plat has been submitted 8 times
now (Original 12/05,Rev 12/05, Rev #2 12/05, Rev 8/06, Rev#2 8/06, Rev 5/07,
Rev 6/07, and now Rev #2 6/07). In each of these submissions up to 5/07, Note#3
has stated the zoning as PDD, Planned Development District. Staff Review
Comments No. 1, which triggered the first 6/07 revision, requested that we change
it to PD, Planned Development. Now, Staff Review Comments No. 2 is asking us
to change it back to what we had. Why the confusion? Are previous Staff Review
Comments (and our responses) not referred back to when doing subsequent
reviews?
3. Note #13 has been added to the plat to address the reduction of cut-through traffic using
the 25' access road from Phase 1B. It is not the Developer's intent to completely eliminate
the cut-through traffic.
4. Street names have been changed as requested.
For informational purposes,please note that on all 7 previous versions of this
preliminary plat, street names were approved. For previous submissions of the
Castlegate Subdivision development(Section 11,for example), street names were
kept the same as they crossed other streets, and we were asked by staff to change
them to different names. Why the conflict in requirements?It appears there is a
lack of consistency in the street naming requirements.
✓5. Common Areas are not going to be renumbered,but a sentence noting the omission of
Common Area No. 4 has been added to Note#10.
t 6. A 10' PUE has not been added. It is not clear due to the hatch pattern originally used that
there is an existing 20' PUE adjacent to the back of these lots, making a total of 30' of
PUE available for utility placement. The hatch pattern has been changed to help clarify
this existing easement. We have also attached a sketch to this response showing this area.
OTHER CHANGES MADE:
- The phase line between Phases 1A and 2B was adjusted slightly where it crosses Rocky
Creek Trail near Lot 5, Block 10. This change was made so the phase line on this
preliminary plat matches the Final Plat for Phase 1 A.
- Additional survey data was obtained after the layout of Phase 1B was complete. Because
of this data, the 25' access driveway in Phase 1B has been shift-• • -r to miss an existing
utility pole (from between Lots 4 & 5, Block 11 to betwee / ots 5 & 6 :lock 11).
Adjustments were also made to the waterline, adjacent lo lines, and the access easement
lines. 0G4- sht '34if
- Additional public utility easements were added in various locations per the College Station
Utility's request, with a majority of them being 5' PUE's between lots.

Castle Rock Subdivision
Preliminary Plat(Revised)
PLANNING:
1. Metes &bounds has been adjusted to close.
2. The title block does not show a PDD zoning, as stated. It shows PD, and it has not been
changed.
3. Note#3 concerning the zoning has been revised. Note#4.B has been revised. For Parkland
Dedication, the plat shows 4.19 acres in one area, and then a 0.173 acre piece behind Lot 42,
Block 2, for a total of 4.363 acres of dedication for Phase 1A.
4. The Phase &Lot Summary has been corrected.
5. The number of lots on this plat less than 50' in width and 100' in depth has been reduced. The
Concept Plan for this project allows up to 12 lots. To meet this requirement, there are no
longer any lots less than 100' in depth. There are now 12 lots less than 50' in width. They are:
Block 2, Lots 8, 9, 10, 11,41, 42, 43 &44; Block 6,Lots 19, 20 &21; and Block 10, Lot 14.
6. Lot widths for Block 2, Lots 43 &44 have been clarified.
7. The access easement is proposed as a 25' wide driveway to provide emergency access for
Phase 1C of the residential development and access to the commercial lots as they develop.
The driveway is designed to reduce speed, therefore it will discourage "cut-through" traffic,
which may try to use it as a right-of-way.
8. A temporary turnaround has been shown.
9. A temporary turnaround has been shown.
10. Street names have previously been approved with previous versions of this preliminary plat.
No changes have been made.
11. Greenbelt/Buffer No. 4 was removed with the addition of the commercial lots.
12. The pool and parking area has been turned into a Common Area(Amenity Center).
13. The parkland dedication changed slightly when the Rocky Retreat Cove cul-de-sac and
associated lots (Block 2, Lots 53, 54 & 55)were removed. Since Phase 1A had already been
platted, the boundary line along the park where the cul-de-sac was originally located could not
be changed. Since there is no longer a need for the circular area for a cul-de-sac, that small
area(0.162 acres) is being added to the park.
14. 10' PUE's have been added in the greenbelt/buffer areas in the back of the following lots:
Blcok 9, Lots 1 thru 8; and Block 10, Lots 1 thru 5.
ENGINEERING:
1. An 8"waterline has been added to serve Lots 1 thru 3,Block 11.
2. Noted.
3. Noted.
4. Noted.
5. Noted.
FIRE:
1. According to the ordinance, since there are only 30 lots proposed for Phase 1A, emergency
access is not required.
SANITATION:
1. Temporary turnarounds have been shown in the 2 locations requested.
ELECTRICAL:
1. Noted.
2. Noted.
3. Notes on plat have been revised as r quested.

9. Phase 6 will need a temporary turnaround on Rolling Stone Drive.
10.Streets that are aligned across Castle Rock Parkway should have the same street

2. TxDOT permits will be required at Final Plat for driveway and utility connections in
ROW.
3. During construction, extra caution will need to be used in areas near Conservation
Easement and Deed Restricted Areas to not negatively impact the vegetation and
drainage pathways.
4. A perimeter fence shall be installed to protect Conservation Easement from off-site
threats during construction.

Easement and Deed Restricted Areas. This will be determined at Final Plat stage with
review of construction documents.

be identified.
2. In Plat note#3,please reference the zoning as Planned Development District (PDD).
3. To prevent commercial cut-through traffic in the residential area,please identify what barrier will be used
to prevent the vehicular use of the access easement for non-emergency purposes. Bollards may allow for
pedestrian and bicycle traffic while restricting vehicular access and/or parking.
4. The previous preliminary plat should have had the street names consistent across Castle Rock Parkway.
As a new preliminary has been submitted,please make this correction.

1. In reference to the PD vs. PDD comments, I apologize for not making the note more clear in
the first round of review comments. We had stated that"In the title block, the zoning is PDD
(the Comp Plan Land Use designation is PD)." We are only concerned with the zoning in the
title block,not the Comp Plan Land Use Designation,which was being shown. We tried to
clarify this in the second round of comments. Thank you for making the change to reflect the
PDD zoning.
2. In reference to the street names, we are aware that the street naming issue was missed on the
first Castle Rock preliminary plat and we appreciate you working with us on the new plat. The
street naming issues are usually at the request of groups involved with addressing (e.g., land
management,911).
3. Our recommendation is that a driveway should not be allowed between the A-P and the
residential as it will encourage cut-through vehicular traffic. Please let us know how you would
like to proceed on this issue.
