Roans Chapel Commercial Subdivision—Preliminary Plan
Brazos County Review
Preliminary Plan Review #2
Comments and Suggestions by Munger
(979) 822-2127
07 November 2014
Sheet No Description
Prelim.Plan Comment: The roadway facility with the best pavement structure to handle commercial development is SH 30. Has
1 of I TxDOT been approached and denied access? While customers and employee parking could be addressed from Roans
Chapel Road-Freight Deliveries,collection of commercial waste,etc.will require wide Driveways, deeper pavement
structure and a denser pavement surface than exists on Roans Chapel Road today. Is the basis for Note 22 a denial
from TxDOT or refusal of applicant to work with TxDOT? Separate response Noted.
Prelim. Plan Comment: With dedication of ROW along Roans Chapel Road—is applicant providing for relocation of utilities within
I of 1 dedication so that roadway improvements can be made? Applicant responded negatively,thus applicant will be
denied plat approval for failure to comply with Article V.A.1.a& b of Brazos County Subdivision Regulations.
Prelim. Plan Comment: For Drainage—provide estimated flows from lots into roadway ditches and analyze possible effects on
1 of 1 existing roadway ditches and downstream cross-culvert. Response indicative that detention will mitigate any
potential increases in runoff. Note 23 is satisfactory.
Prelim. Plan Comment: For Drainage—provide a Private Drainage Easement to convey flows from Lots 3,4,5 to proposed
1 of 1 detention areas. Indicate how detention and other Private Drainage Easements will be maintained. How are detention
areas sized and"apportioned"to each lot? Private Drainage Easement has been added. Note 24 requires County
Review of Detention Pond and Site Review.
Prelim. Plan Comment: Would applicant consider monetary donation to county toward any needed roadway and drainage
1 of 1 improvements in public ROW as determined by further engineering analysis(by applicant)? Separate response noted.
Driveway and Culvert permits may not be approved until utilities have been cleared from ROW and ditch
relocated to permanent location(within dedicated ROW).
Prelim. Plan Comment: Provide 150' corner clearance on Lot 6 from SH 30 to a potential driveway access point. Note 22 is
1 of 1 satisfactory.
Prelim Plan Comment: Applicant needs to provide a letter from TxDOT that development will NOT require the addition of a
1 of 1 dedicated turn lane from SH 30 EB to Roans Chapel Road. Written documentation from TxDOT will be required
as a condition of a plat approval.

Roans Chapel Commercial Subdivision (PP) —# 14-00900245
PLANNING
1. Please show the approximate location, size of line, design pressure for the gas pipeline at
the southwest corner of the property.
Energy Transfer Company owns the pipeline and they have been contacted to mark
the location of the line. Once the line location is known it will be added to the
Preliminary Plan. The line is 10.75 inch, low-pressure natural gas gathering line.
2. The existing block length along Roans Chapel Rd between State HWU 30 and Golden Mist
exceeds 1,500 feet. Please revise the plat to provide a street that stubs to the Copus Tract
or revise the application to apply for a subdivision waiver to the block length requirement.
Attached is a revised application with waiver request.
3. Please note that any changes made to the plans, that have not been requested by the City
of College Station, must be explained in your next transmittal letter and "bubbled" on your
plans. Any additional changes on these plans that the City has not been made aware of will
constitute a completely new review. Noted.
BRAZOS COUNTY
1. The roadway facility with the best pavement structure to handle commercial
development is SH 30. Has TxDOT been approached and denied access? While
customers and employee parking could be addressed from Roans Chapel Road -
Freight Deliveries, collection of commercial waste, etc. will require wide Driveways,
deeper pavement structure and a denser pavement surface than exists on Roans
Chapel Road today. Is the basis for Note 22 a denial from TxDOT or refusal of applicant
to work with TxDOT? Lot 6 access from SH 30 is hindered by an existing drainage
way and culverts that go under SH 30. There is also inadequate separation
distance from Roans Chapel Road for a proposed driveway. The SH 30 frontage
for this tract is 372'which does not meet the 475'spacing requirement for TxDOT.
2. With dedication of ROW along Roans Chapel Road — is applicant providing for relocation
of utilities within dedication so that roadway improvements can be made? The applicant
is dedicating R.O.W. along Roans Chapel Rd to meet the 70' wide street right-of-
way requirement and is not relocating any utilities.
3. With regard to Note 6 — rural roadway subdivision standards may be an improper design
for a commercial development (as stated in previous review comment):
Can applicant provide an engineering analysis (not full blown TIA)which would provide:
1. Traffic Data. DHV, ADT, Percent Trucks (T) generated to/from the proposed
lots
2. Soil characteristics and strength
3. Traffic growth rates
4. Stage development
5. On-site Parking
6. Drainage
7. Proposed Geometry (Turning Radii and Widths of Driveways Needed)
8. T, Percentage of Trucks, the quantity of trucks during the ADT or DHV,
expressed as a percent of that total traffic. For the purpose here, light delivery
trucks, such as panels and pick-ups, are considered as passenger cars. In lieu of
the actual field data, T can be assumed as 30% for Roans Chapel Road Road.
D. Trucks shall be further identified as follows, during the traffic counting.
2DT - Unit truck, two axles
3SU - Unit truck, three axles
2S1 - Semi truck, two axles on cab, one axle on tailor
2S2 - Semi truck, two axles on cab, two axles on tailor
2AX -Truck with five axles or more
The owners/developers of the subdivision will be developing their businesses on
3 of the lots and will be office/warehouse structures with storage yards and
occasional large trucks coming to the site for deliveries. The building and parking
requirements are not known at this time. The use for the remaining 3 lots is
anticipated to be similar to the others.
4. For Drainage — provide estimated flows from lots into roadway ditches and analyze
possible effects on existing roadway ditches and downstream cross-culvert. Each lot
will provide detention mitigating any increases in peak runoff. Existing roadway
ditches and downstream cross-culverts should function as they do under existing
conditions.
5. For Drainage — provide a Private Drainage Easement to convey flows from Lots 3, 4, 5
to proposed detention areas. Indicate how detention and other Private Drainage
Easements will be maintained. How are detention areas sized and "apportioned" to each
lot? Private Drainage Easement for Lofts 3, 4, & 5 has been added and Note 24 has
been added for maintenance of Private Drainage Easements and detention areas.
6. Would applicant consider monetary donation to county toward any needed roadway and
drainage improvements in public ROW as determined by further engineering analysis
(by applicant)? The developer does not wish to contribute monetarily to roadway
and drainage improvements in the public ROW at this time.
7. Provide 150' corner clearance on Lot 6 from SH 30 to a potential driveway access point.
Note 22 has been revised to address Lot 6 access.
8. Applicant needs to provide a letter from TxDOT that development will NOT require the
addition of a dedicated turn lane from SH 30 EB to Roans Chapel Road. TxDOT has
been contacted by the City of College Station and does not have any comments at
this time.
9. County would desire (can't require) a lot width of 200 feet which would enable each lot to
have individual driveway access. Shared access may otherwise be required to/from
several (not all of the lots). Noted. The proposed use of some of the lots are for
office/warehouse use which will have limited traffic to each lot.
10. Meet with County/City? to further discuss items resulting from review comments. Noted.
Please let us know if you would like to meet with the Owner/Developer.
ENGINEERING COMMENTS NO. 1
1. FYI with the submittal of construction documents, provide a written verification that the
Wickson Creek Special Utility District is able to properly serve the proposed lots.
Wickson Creek SUD letter is attached, but a water main extension will be required
for this project.
2. Please increase the proposed Fire Hydrant symbol size for more legibility. Fire hydrant
symbol size has been increased.
3. FYI the proposed 8" water line along Lot 1 has only a 5' horizontal clearance from the
electrical power pole which may pose maintenance and construction issues. This can be
addressed on Final plat with construction documents. Noted.
4. Please include in note 23 that detention area(s) to be privately maintained by respective
parties/lot owners. Note 24 has been added.
