BTLD to CoCS PUE Dedication Old Arrington Rd.pdf
Stephen,
Since WSUD owns the small triangle at the north end of Old Arrington Road, and we've agreed that you will quit claim %:
of the width of the ROW at that location, the City will require WSUD to co-sign the PUE dedication doc that will be
processed simultaneously with the ROW abandonment. The application is attached. Will you please confirm your
willingness to join us in the PUE dedication. I don't think the signature will be required now, but it will be part of
another instrument.
Thanks for your assistance...
Thank you,
Jesse Durden

Carol,
The legal department has discussed a few things about abandoning a portion of Old Arrington Rd and below are some
determinations we've made as well as some questions for you. If it's easier to have a meeting, then please feel free to
look at my calendar and set one up.
1. Procedure for abandoning old Arrington Road:
a. Prepare for council to adopt an abandonmt ordinance where we make the PUE exhibit "A"
b. have the abandonmt ord. except from abandonment all the uses described as set forth in the PUE
c. I've attached the Meadowland abandonmt ordinance --it's not exactly analogous but gives you an idea of how we
went about abandoning only a portion of public uses.
d. I've also attached an excerpt from our code of ordinances re abandoning ROW. The ordinance MUST minimally
address 4 items set out in the code, as well as holding a public hearing and providing notice like we would do for a
zoning amendmt.
2. It's my understanding that the following is correct- --- please let me know if it's not:
a. The portion of old Arrington rd to be abandoned is NOT on the Thoroughfare Plan.
b. The adjacent landowners petitioning abandonment are a) TxDOT; b) Brazos Texas Land Development, LLC; and
c) Wellborn SUD and you will have their request to abandon when you submit the Abandonment Form to us.
c. There are other tracts of land along another part of old Arrington Rd not adjacent to the portion to be
abandoned. None of them will be landlocked. Rather, they will travel southward on old Arrington Rd and feed into new
Arrington Rd. There is an existing concrete business on one of these tracts which is in middle of bankruptcy or which is
otherwise inactive at this time.
d. There is a fire fighting facility for a fire district along the portion of old Arrington Rd to be abandoned but
is merely a lease. Brazos Texas Land Developmt, LLC is the fee simple owner, and they are working with the fire
district to work out a mutually acceptable arrangement.
e. A portion of the ROW to be abandoned has an existing improved roadway on it. A portion of it does not - altho'
there may be one or more utility lines in the portion that's unimproved.
3. We do NOT need the surface for any public use per all our master plans, departments, etc. Correct?
a. Typically on something like this we get confirmation from other departments. Can you please do this? i.e.
contact Electric, Water Services and PW and let us know their response? (this may be on the abandonment form and I
may not know this)
Let me know if there's more info we should know or act on. Thanks, Carol.

Carol,
I think we're thinking the same thing as electric's response in that we're only comfortable on signing off on it once
easements are dedicated. If adequate easements are to be dedicated for our existing water/sewer lines, Fred or I can
sign off on the abandonment application and forward it to you.
Also, as an FYI - we've got a future capital project(see attached) that consists of installing a waterline down the 'new
Arrington' and the 'old Arrington' ROWS... this is in conjunction with the Wellborn SUD/COCS water CCN agreement that
we'd take over this area...

There is a Transmission line that is owned by TMPA w/ College Station Electric Distribution lines on the poles along the
existing right of way. We will need to make sure that it is covered by easements. We also want to make sure we have
enough easements for future power lines that could be extended from our substation along the existing right of way.
So we cannot sign off on anything until we see more details on easements.

Carol and Matt,
Just some comments ... no need to respond.
There are three adjoining landowners - Wellborn Water, the Volunteer Fire and State of Texas.
The plat does not show easements along SH 6 or WD Fitch, but we purchased an easement along SH 6 several years ago.
Do we need to provide for an easement along SH 6 ?

Timothy,
Thanks. We are generally aware of this request/requirement. The discussion began a few years back as a requirement
with the redevelopment and platting of the larger tracts essentially requiring the ROW to be abandoned - a note is
apparently on the plat to this regard. Jesse Durden has had discussion with our office more recently on this were some
conditions were discussed, ie all tracts will still need access, culdesac, maintain PUE and/or reroutes, etc. However, this
application has not been officially submitted.
We can begin discussing conditions and requirements internally, or wait until the formal submittal comes in. Let us
know. Thanks.

Several years ago he constructed new Arrington Road to serve as the major connector to SH 40. In order to move

Carol,
Joe Schultz and 1 are working on a new project at the corner of SH 40 & SH 6. There is a portion of Old Arrington there
that needs to be quitclaimed by my client, then an PUE dedicated to CoCS. We believe the process will be similar to
what Joe did at the old Greens Prairie ROW west of Prosperity Bank.
The subject area is shown on the attachment. This area is not used by the public.
If you think a meeting is best, please let us know a couple of times that work for you.

Subject: Re: Arrington Road
James,
Thanks for getting your questions to me via e-mail. I'll try to answer each of your questions. If you need
further clarification, hopefully we can talk more.
Will the existing access to Arrington Road at SH 40 (located approx.400' west of SH 6) be closed? If so,
approximately when?
Yes. Arrington Road that intersects SH 40 just west of SH 6 will be closed when the realignment of Arrington
Road is complete. As you may know, the realignment of Arrington Road is planned to connect to SH 40 as part
of Phase 2 of the Greens Prairie Center development. At that time, the old Arrington Road will be blocked, and
ultimately our intent is that the right-of-way will be abandoned through the Greens Prairie Center property.
Assuming that this public road will close, will the City or TOOT (whoever owns the ROW) allow a private
access easement/drive into our proposed site at the same location? This would be across the ROW to be
abandoned. This would make the site much more attractive for development and provide the essential access
we need from SH 40. Access to the site via the other end (from the south) of old Arrington would not work
for our business use.
Based on conversations that I've had with TxDOT, they do not want to permit a new driveway at this location.
TxDOTs access management manual states that minimum driveway separation on a roadway with a posted
speed limit greater than 45 mph is 425 feet. For any newly permitted driveway, they will be looking for this
requirement to be met. We would anticipate that access from this new driveway could be provided to the
subject tract via an access easement.
Are there any plans that you are aware of to relocate the existing County Fire Station?
It is my understanding that the county is making plans to relocate this fire station.

Sorry I missed you calls earlier today --- we are looking at the
potential of developing the site located at the southwest corner of SH 6
and SH 40 adjacent to the existing Arrington Rd. (roughly 6 acres at the
hard corner) for multi level office use. I understand that Arrington
Road Is being realigned. Following are my questions:

Thanks.

Jay/Page,
Attached is a sketch of the Greens Prairie Center property at the intersection of SH 6 and
SH 40. A prospective purchaser of the land at this intersection wants the Seller of the
property to "guarantee" driveway access to SH 40 and SH 6 frontage road at the minimum
separation distance of 425' from the intersection.
As shown on the sketch this may require that Old Arrington Road be moved slightly to the
west to achieve the 425'.
What can be done so that the potential Developer of this corner will feel comfortable about
moving ahead with this development.
Thanks, Joe
Here is a sketch from the developer with more details. Please note this is conceptual only.
thanks
Joe

Bob -
We just received an inquiry from Joe Schultz, who is representing a potential
Developer @ this referenced site.
Attached is a Memo showing a copied communication between Ken Fogle & you in
May 2006. Also shown is the current inquiry just received.
Additionally, attached are .jpg layouts depicting the initial discussion in May & now
the .pdf conceptuals of what is currently being proposed. Joe states that this
proposed access on SH 40 is not within the controlled access section.
Other than the coordination required with the City of College Station, keeping "Old
Arrington Road" open until the new Arrington Road is completed, etc., do you have
any comments with regard to this proposal ?? It would seem that TxDOT can't deny
access if the Developer is able to meet the spacing requirements on SH 6 & SH 40
between proposed & "existing" access points.
Thanks for your help,
Jay

DATE: May 8, 2006
SUBJECT: SH 40 @ Arrington Road
Greens Prairie Center
College Station, Texas
We're meeting with the Greens Prairie Center development (SW quadrant of SH 6 / SH 40)
team next week to discuss site access. (I have attached a draft of their preliminary plat for
your information.) Before we meet with them, I would like to make sure that I am
communicating TxDOT's concerns clearly.
First of all, we have told them that when the "new" Arrington Road is opened, the "old"
Arrington Road will have to be closed. This note is included on the plat as follows:
"Upon completion of the Arrington Road realignment (as depicted in Phase 2B), access
between the "old" Arrington Road and SH 40 shall be restricted by the construction of a
cul-de-sac or other means approved by the City of College Station. This will prevent
through traffic from using the "old" Arrington Road to access SH 40."
In addition, we'll be looking out to be sure that we don't allow access between the Greens
Prairie Center development and "old" Arrington Road, as the combination of this access
and the site's access to SH 40 could be used as a cut -through. If you have any comments
on this, please let me know. Ultimately, we're looking at abandoning the "old" Arrington
Road right-of-way within their site. It is my understanding that a portion of this right-of-
way that was needed to realign Arrington Road west of the fire station belongs to TxDOT.
Second, they desire to construct a private driveway at the location where the existing "old"
Arrington Road intersects SH 40. I have told them that it is unlikely that TxDOT will allow a
driveway to remain in that location. The spacing is about 400 feet from the frontage road.
Is that correct?
Thanks for y'alls help.

I agree with everything you say. --- Bob Appleton (5/23/06)
If they have access to a public roadway, there is nothing that says TxDOT has to grant them
access to every roadway they are adjacent to. We can definitely recommend the best
locations on any request for access. We are charged with managing access to our facilities.
On the frontage road, if that ramp is gone, then the driveway may be fine. On SH 40, the
previous preliminary plat showed this developer has control of the property on the other side
of 'old' Arrington Road. They called this Phase 2B previously. I suggest they plan their
access to this bank from that parcel instead. I am concerned with putting a driveway at the
location they propose from the standpoint of its location, the fact that it would be on right of
way acquired by the state for public roadway purposes, and that there may be utility issues
that have to be worked out. You mention the median area on SH 40, but when I look at the
plan sheet it shows an opening at this location and the median looks like it is just stripe. Did
that get changed to where it would only physically allow right -in -right -out as you suggest?
While we are commenting, I don't like where they are proposing their storm water detention
area. It makes future cross access with their neighbors potentially problematic and I would
like to see cross access easements filed in the plat with all of their neighbors.

Bob -
One other question, before I reply to Joe Schultz. Do we leaaliv have to give them
access to either roadway?? And, if so, can we specify where it should be --- as in
the case on SH 6. Also on the SH 40 side, it would be a right -in, right -out access
because of the median area.

I do have comments with regard to this proposal.
Just because they meet a minimum spacing guideline does not make a driveway access
location acceptable. The frontage road location is right in the functional area of a current
entrance ramp. The WD Fitch side, while also meeting the minimum spacing guidelines is in
a poor location to allow left turns. I don't consider this to be reestablishment of existing
access points. The parcels in question do not have frontage on SH 40 within the area that
meets the spacing guidelines.
Our desire in getting Arrington Road closed at this end was not to open a busy driveway in
its place. I believe city staff will back us up on this.
Jay,
I was thinking about this some more. Someone from your office needs to get out the HCM
and check the weaving distance from the U-turn to that south access point on the frontage
road to make sure the spacing is okay before we give them that.
Bob
Jay,
I've attached some drawings depicting proposed driveway locations for a development
proposal on the SW corner of SH 6/SH 40. As you'll see, each of these driveways meet
TxDOT's driveway spacing standards. This driveway would also provide cross access to the
adjacent site to the west. As we've discussed before, when the new Arrington Road connects
through to Arrington Road, this segment of Old Arrington Road will be disconnected to SH 40
and this development to limit the traffic that would use this driveway.
Let me know if this driveway location is acceptable to TxDOT. If you have any questions,
please let me know.
Thanks,
Ken

We have not met - however, Ken Fogle at the City of College Station mentioned your name
to me this morning in a conversation about a request he made for approval of a proposed
private access drive at old Arrington Road and SH 40 to serve a proposed drive in banking
facility on the SH 6/SH 40 SW corner property. Ken was optimistic about TXDOT approval
but wasn't sure when he would receive any formal response from you, although he said
you mentioned it should be done this week. Are you still planning to issue it this week?
This is an important part of a site feasibility study we have been working on for about 8
weeks now. I would appreciate your help in accelerating the approval process. Thanks.
