Project: EMERALD RIDGE ESTATES PH 11, III & IV (PP - 10-00500214)
PLANNING
1. Vicinity map needs to be updated to include the entire area of the preliminary plat. Please
locate the city limit line on the vicinity map.
2. Please tie the plat to a College Station monument.
3. Because the preliminary plat is drawn on more than one sheet, an index sheet (showing the
entire subdivision at a scale of 500 feet per inch or larger) is required.
4. The total area of the preliminary plat needs to be included in the title block (doesn't include
Watson property). Total number of lots should be updated, as well.
5. Update note 3 to include all of the property (Watson's as well).
6. Please show City limit line on preliminary plat.
7. The lines uses for subdivision boundary and phase lines need to be more distinct (it looks as
if the subdivision boundary is located behind lots 14 and 15, Block 1, Phase 3 — should
encompass entire Watson property).
8. Please provide a more distinct zoning district boundary. Also, please change the wording of
the legend relating to the "onsite floodplain areas zoned A-O." Watson's property is "onsite
floodplain" and is zoned A-O.
9. Please look at the visible layers and make sure that information is not overlapping. For
example, the label for Lot 18, Block 1, Phase 3 is covering an easement description. Is it
possible to show the information behind the lot labels? It is difficult to follow easement lines,
etc. when they break because of the label.
10. Please provide topographic information, including contours at two foot intervals, wooded
areas, and flowline elevations of streams for the entire preliminary plat area.
11. If easement is proposed, please include the word "proposed" in its description, otherwise, a
volume and page should be included.
12. Zoning conditions should be listed in the notes on the preliminary plat. Associated
easements should be included on the preliminary plat.
13. Description under "Existing Property Zoning" is not accurate now that the Watson property is
included and some of the floodplain rezoned.
14. The Greenways Trail easement needs to be better defined (as shown on previous
preliminary plat).
15. It looks like there is an existing structure that crosses the lot lines (and does not meet
setbacks) of Lots 2 and 5, Block 1, Phase 3. The structure will have to be removed before a
final plat of the phase will be scheduled for Planning & Zoning Commission consideration.
16. In regards to Note 6, does the pedestrian and bike path then just dead end and not meet
existing pavement on Sandstone?
17. Floodplain / floodway needs to be labeled.

ENGINEERING COMMENTS NO. 1
1. Please verify that all rear lot lines thru out have access to or share a 20 foot PUE. Please
make this revision in Phase 1 as well, the change can be made with the mylar.
2. The rear lot lines in Phase 3, specifically Lots 11 thru 20 are difficult to identify, please
revise.
3. Please identify and label the floodplain line.
Page 2 of 3
4. Please identify the 12 inch water main from the utility master plan and associated
easements. The proposed 12 inch main runs along the eastern property line of Phases 2
and 4. The intent is not for this development to build this water infrastructure as the
supporting system is not in this area at this time, but rather illustrate the need for easements
in this area.

furnish and install conduit as shown on CSU electrical layout.
6. Developer pours electric device pads or footings (i.e. transformers, pull boxes etc) per CSU
specs and design.
7. Developer installs pull boxes and secondary pedestals per CSU specs and design (pull
boxes and secondary pedestals provided by CSU).
8. Developer provides digital AutoCAD 2000 or later version of plat and / or site plan. Email to:
wdavis@cstx.gov or ehorton@cstx.gov.
9. Developer provides load data to CSU as soon as it is available to avoid construction delays.
Delivery time for transformers not in stock is approximately 40 weeks.
10. Final site plan must show all proposed electrical facilities necessary to provide electrical
service, i.e. transformer(s), pull box(es), switchgear(s), meter location and conduit routing as
