Project: Graham Road Industrial Park II (FP) (13-00900136)
PLANNING
1. This plat qualifies as a Minor Replat, which requires only administrative approval. In
addition, the fee for a Minor Replat is $700 instead of $932. If you would like this plat to be
considered minor please submit written verification and you will be reimbursed the
difference between the two fees.
2. If you proceed with a Minor Replat, remove the Certificate of Planning and Zoning
Commission and replace it with Certificate of City Planner.
3. If you proceed with a Minor Replat, revise the title block to state "Minor Plat" instead of "Final
Plat".
4. Remove "and/or Engineer" from the Certificate of Surveyor title.
5. Revise the Certificate of County Clerk to state "Official Records" instead of "Deed Records"
as this was a typo in the Unified Development Ordinance.
6. Correct spelling of "Hibicus Street" to "Hibiscus Street".
7. For Graham Road Business Park, replace "2.58 acre tract" with "Lot 1, Block 1" since the
property has been platted.
8. Label the volume and page number of the abandonment for Hibiscus Street.
9. Note construction and maintenance responsibilities for the access easement on the plat.
10. Label the access easement as public or private on the plat. I am assuming it will be private;
however based on the label provided in the legend it is proposed as a public access
easement. Please verify this information.
11. 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.
12. Please note that you may be required to submit paid tax certificates if they are not current
prior to the filing of your plat.

of plat and / or site plan as soon as it is available. Email to: sweidoecstx.gov

information is critical for CSU to accurately determine the size and number of transformers,
and other equipment, required to provide service to the project. Failure to provide load data
will result in construction delays and, due to clearance requirements, could affect the final
building footprint. Delivery time for transformers and other equipment not in stock is
approximate 26 weeks.

Please specify the width of the PUE (V.319, P.817) along Graham Rd. The PUE along

12 What infrastructure is proposed to be in the 15-ft PUE adjacent to access easement? Why
doesn't this easement connect straight into the existing PUE along Graham? The 15 FT
PUE adjacent to the access easement is for a future potential water line loop. The
easement has been revised to connect straight into the existing PUE.
OBased on the location of the 50-ft Access Easement, a driveway in that location would not
meet driveway spacing. Please revise. Per the Graham Road Industrial Park Phase 1
Final Plat (9724/232) the driveway closest to the access easement will be removed
and relocated when Phase 2 of Graham Road Industrial Park is platted and the Phase
2 access driveway is constructed. We are platting the easements because they are
included on this lot, however, the driveway will not be constructed until Phase 2 of
the Graham Road Industrial Park is platted. See Note 8 on the attached Phase 1 Final
Plat for Graham Road Industrial Park. This note addresses the driveway spacing

Since the proposed easement on the east side of Lot 1 is for a future waterline extension, it
should be a minimum 15-ft wide. The easement on the east side of Lot 1 cannot be made
a 15' wide easement due to the existing building that runs parallel to Hibiscus Street.
The existing building is approximately 13.5' from the property line
2. Please add a note indicating that the owner will extend water and access to the north with
future Phase 2 development. Note #9 has been added to the plat.
3. Please provide a letter from the adjacent property owner acknowledging that their eastern
driveway will be removed and a cross -access driveway extended to the adjacent property
when the Phase 2 driveway is constructed. Any parking that is removed through the extension
of this driveway may need to be replaced elsewhere on site. Attached is a letter from the
adjacent property owner and an agreement signed when the adjacent land was sold.
4. Please add a note, similar to Note #8 from the first phase plat, referencing the driveway
consolidation with Phase 2. Note 10 has been added to the plat.

FYI: When site planning, the driveway spacing requirement is 235' for a Major Collector
(Graham Road). Verify the spacing requirement will be met as close as possible and adjust
the location of the access easement on Lot 1 Blockl if necessary. Additionally, ensure
cross access will tie into Phase I of the Graham Road Industrial Park in anticipation of the
removal or consolidating of the two existing driveways into one. The driveway spacing
was previously approved with the Graham Road Industrial Park Preliminary Plat $
Final Plat of Phase 1. The spacing of the driveways was determined to be as close as
possible to the driveway spacing requirements and also was done to allow as much
offset from Westfield Drive as possible. Cross access and removal of the eastern
driveway will be taken care of with the development of Phase Z per the notes on the
previous plats and the notes added to this plat.
