Mike McClure, 9262 Brookwater Circle, College Station,Texas. Mr. McClure stated that he
was a resident of Woodcreek. He also stated that the East by-pass was a long distance traffic
mover. He stated that the residents of Woodcreek help in congesting that are because they
do not have a secondary route,which would be Appomattox. Mr. McClure agreed that the
lots that front on those streets need to be mitigated and that there was a need to keep the
arterials open.
Steve Arden, 311 Cecelia Loop, College Station, Texas. Mr. Arden stated that the location
of the subdivision was a mid-way between Emerald Forest and Raintree outlets to the east
by-pass. HE also stated that they are trying to mitigate any increase in traffic by having the
two 90 degree turns. He continued stating that the Raintree is the only route that does tend
to funnel whatever traffic there may be in the location. Mr. Arden felt that by having a
parallel system for the most part outside of Raintree as an alternate route would help
disburse the traffic. He stated that he was concerned about the 12 to 15 acres on the
backside of the old Westinghouse plant and Raintree, saying that the property will change
some day and it has every right to utilise the two streets in Raintree that stub out to that
property. Mr. Arden stated that Appomattox will not be extended until that property is
developed.
Commissioner JohnNicholsasked staff that if it was such a good idea to have this road built
J
out to allow a secondary access,then why the City can't find a way to get it done.

7. Discussion, consideration, and possible action regarding potential Park Land
Dedication requests:
• Squid Hill Development N Park Zone 15: Ric stated that this was for a single
family residence on Jones Butler Road. Being that it was single family, the land
dedication requirement would only be 11100th of an acre, so staff was
recommending the acceptance of the cash dedication of $556.00 in lieu of land.
Glenn S. motioned to accept the staff recommendation of accepting the cash.
Kathy I. seconded and the vote was called. All were in favor and the motion
passed unanimously.
• Spring Creek Commons N Park Zone 9: This was not really a dedication - the
developer wanted to donate a strip of property that would not be used, which is
located next to Woodland Hills Park near the intersection of Highway 6 and Greens
Prairie Road. The park property at present does not have good street access. The
proposed donation is a pretty piece of property that would give some options for
access on Lakeway and make the park safer on the end because of better visibility.
The trees that are there would not be dug up and having the property would allow
the city to install a drip irrigation system for those trees.
Kathleen I. moved to accept the property donation and Gary T. seconded. Hearing
no further discussion, the vote was called. All were in favor and the motion carried
unanimously.
• The Woodlands of College Station/Dovetail Development N Park Zone 6:
