Comments
1. Comment:
Access on to Barron Rd will be an issue. Based on the spacing between Barron Rd and
SH 40 there is approximately 400 feet to work with. Based on the UDO opposite right
driveways for a minor arterial is 350 feet and opposite left is 125 feet for at total length of
475 feet. Access on SH 40 will have to be coordinated with TxDOT. Ultimately,
TxDOT will build a grade separated interchange. The present configuration at that
intersection, the southbound lanes are not functioning as a frontage road. I would assume
TxDOT would be reluctant to give access and constrain themselves with their ultimate
interchange design.
2. Comment:
The comp plan amendment application was received prior to the new TIA ordinance
adopted on October 23, 2008, however just to be able to judge the potential impact of this
development an analysis was conducted with the new TIA ordinance requirement.
Based on C 1 zoning, 50 trips in the peak hour per acre was used for the analysis. 50 trips
times 8.4 acres equals 420 trips in the peak hour generated by this development. Under
the new ordinance of 150 trips in the peak hour threshold, this development would have
triggered a TIA.
Regardless, in the Site Plan stage this development will have to conduct a TIA.
3. Comment:
Current traffic counts available are 2006 Average Daily Traffic (ADT) conducted by
TxDOT. The counts are actually on Wellborn Road. Traffic on Wellborn, north of SH 40
is 16,900 ADT and south of SH 40 is 4,900 ADT. The assumption can be made that the
majority of traffic utilized SH 40 in between these counts. The remaining traffic utilizing
SH 40 is 12,000 ADT. For SH 40, based on the Highway Capacity Manual SH 40 and
based on preliminary analysis would fall within the Level of Service of C.
TRANSPORTATION
1. Driveway access will have to be coordinated with TxDOT. Because access will be on
the frontage rd to SH 47, TxDOT will issue the permit. From reviewing TxDOT's criteria
for driveway access, a two way frontage rd with a design speed of 45 mph, the proposed
driveway location would be 435' to the east of the existing gravel road driveway.
2. A quick analysis of the trip generation for the change in proposed land use and
utilizing a land use of high density housing attached multi -family for the proposed
development. According to College Stations UDC, 30 units per acre will be allowed.
This would total 168 units. 168 units X 5.86 average trips would yield 985 vehicles trips
per day. 168 X .52 average trips per pm peak hour would yield 87 trips per pm peak
hour. Again, these trip generations would have little impact to the traffic operations and
TxDOT would more than likely not ask for additional traffic studies.

1. Barron Road is a minor arterial, the previous staff review comments contained the
wrong designation. Please revise the Thoroughfare Plan label. Thanks so much!
2. The properties at both corners of Barron Road and Hwy 40, across Hwy 40 from the
subject property, are designated as Neighborhood Retail. Please revise the
document to reflect this information. This comment was intended to be included with
the previous staff review comments. Thanks!
