Fire Marshal Mies, Economic Development Director Foutz, Transportation Planner Fogle, Water/Wastewater Division Manager Schepers, Building Official Simms, Public Relations and Communications Manager Cole, Director of Public Works Smith, Assistant to the City Manager Rapelye and Assistant City Secretary Casares Mayor Silvia called the workshop session to order at 3:05 p.m. Workshop Agenda Item No. 1 --Discussion of consent agenda items listed for Regular Council Meeting. No items were removed for discussion. Workshop Agenda Item No. 2 --Joint Meeting with the Planning and Zoning Commission for discussion and possible action regarding telecommunication facilities in the City of College Station. Planning and Zoning Commissioners present were: Rick Floyd, Wallis McMath, Carolyn Williams and Ben White. Commissioners absent were Scott Shafer, Craig Hall and Phil Trapani. Chairman Floyd opened the meeting. Staff Planner Lee Battle presented a brief overview of the Wireless Telecommunication Tower report. The report addressed the Telecommunications Act of 1996, current city ordinances and trends. Mr. Battle described the following items: • Stealth Designs http://agenda.cstx.gov/Council%20Minutes/2002/Minutes%2010-10-02.htm 111 1/2010 Page 2 of lJ • Use of Public Facilities • Submittal/application requirements • Master Plan Staff recommended the following options to revise the City of College Station Telecommunications Ordinance: Option One Maintain current level of regulations, making adjustments to improve application and review process. Clarify definition and implementation of stealth elements of the ordinance. Modify and clarify application requirements, acquire more inf01mation for decision-making and require applicants to provide more detail on the proposed tower. Allow or encourage telecommunications facilities to locate on appropriate city facilities, such as electric transmission poles, flagpoles in parks and water towers. This would be contingent upon the criteria outlined by the affected departments and would be considered on a case-by-case basis. Option Two Maintain current policy with additional standards for siting new towers. In addition to Option One, increase separation requirements between towers and reduce zoning districts, which would allow for more towers. Increasing standards will force service providers to seek alternatives, such as collocations or stealth designs. All recommendations from Option One are also included. Option Three Option three would be a combination of Option One, Option Two and would provide a regulation for the height of new towers to 100 feet. This policy would cause service providers to construct additional shorter towers to get the same coverage. The current trend is for service providers to construct shorter towers to fill the gaps between taller towers. Shorter towers are less visually obtrusive and easier to design as stealth. Council member Maloney recommended non-stealth towers with a Conditional Use Permit, a strict definition of Stealth Towers, reduce the height of the towers to 100' or less, increase the distance between the towers with. the exception of stealth towers, encourage collocation, encourage the use of tower leases on city property and have the Planning and Zoning Commission determine where towers should not be allowed. The Council and the Planning and Zoning Commission concurred with Council member Maloney's recommendation. Commissioner White made a motion to adjourn the Planning and Zoning Commission meeting at 4:15 p.m. Commissioner McMath seconded the motion and carried unanimously, 4-0. Agenda Item No. 6 --Executive Session At 4:16 p.m., Mayor Silvia announced in open session that the City Council would convene into executive session pursuant to Sections 551.071 , 551.072 and 551.087 of the Open Meetings Act, http://agenda.cstx.gov/Colmcil%20Minutes/2002/Minutes%201 0-10-02.htm 1/11/2010 Page 3 of 13 to seek the advice of the city attorney with respect to pending and contemplated litigati on, to consider the purchase of real property and to consider economic development negotiations.

The ori ginal plan was adopted in 1993. The new plan included new areas of the City as well as some new opinion. He explained that bikeways are described as on-street lanes and routes and off-street trails to accommodate both cyclists and pedestrians. The objective of the plan was to provide a system of bikeways and pedestrian ways similar to the thoroughfare system that is provided for vehicles and to encourage the use of these methods of transportation. Mr. Fogle noted that the processes in developing the plan involved research, public involvement, surveys, and avenues of advertisement and field investigation. Mr. Fogle discussed support elements, such as design elements, education/safety and facilities. He noted ttp ://agenda.cstx. gov /Counci 1 %20Minutes/2002/Mi nutes%2010-10-02. h tm 1/11/2010 Page 9 of13 one area of concern was whether bike lanes should be included on Longmire Drive between Harvey Mitchell Parkway and Valley View Drive.

The reason for not installing bike lanes along this stretch of Longmire included safety concerns at the Harvey Mitchell Parkway/Longmire intersection and the removal of parking adjacent to the College Station Business Center. The Planning and Zoning Commission approved the Bikeway and Pedestrian Master Plan with the amendment to change the bike plan for the section of Longmire between Airline and Valley View to Airline and Southwood. Mayor Silvia opened the public hearing. The following citizens addressed the Council regarding the proposed College Station Bikeway and Pedestrian Master Plan.

Mr. Schepers provided information regarding council concerns from the August 22, 2002 meeting. Mr. Simms explained that the 2001 International Codes did not recognize double check assemblies in their list of methods approved to protect the public water supply system. Staff noted there are two issues for the Cotmcil to consider regarding this item. • Chapter 11, Section 10 of the Code of Ordinances, IPC and IRC need to be revised to resolve a conflict in the definition of Atmospheric Vacuum Breaker (AVB) and in inspection and testing requirements. • The Construction Board of Adjustments and Appeals recommended by majority vote at its May 20, 2002 meeting to amend the IPC and IRC to allow the use of double check valve assemblies, which are not allowed for lawn irrigation under current code, as protection for the public water supply system, and to extend the testing interval for all backflow assemblies from one year to five years. Staff recommended resolving testing/inspection conflict and increasing test interval to five years. The following citizens addressed the Council regarding this item.

The Comprehensive Plan update process began on August 7, 2006, when the City Council approved a contract with Kendig Keast Collaborative to complete the Plan update. As a part of the process, the Comprehensive Plan Advisory Committee (CPAC) was formed to provide information, insight, and feedback to the consulting team and City staff. Over the past two and a half years, the CPAC has dedicated their time to creating a vision and direction for the City. The Plan update was a two phased process -the first being the public input intensive phase and the second, the creation of the Plan document. During the first phase of the update, the City held 13 focus group meetings and the Citizens Congress, a community-wide planning meeting, as opportunities for residents to provide input in to the process. As a foliow-up to those meetings, a City-wide survey was conducted in early January 2007. Based on the information gathered during the public input phase, a vision for the future of College Station was formed and goals and strategies were created. Over the past several months, the Planning & Zoning Commission and City Council have held several work sessions to finalize the Comprehensive Plan document. On April 15, 2009, the Comprehensive Plan Advisory Committee met in joint workshop with the City Council and the Planning & Zoning Commission and agreed that the Comprehensive Plan was ready to proceed to public hearing.

The Comprehensive Plan update process began on August 7, 2006, when the City Council approved a contract with Kendig Keast Collaborative to complete the Plan update. As a part of the process, the Comprehensive Plan Advisory Committee (CPAC) was formed to provide information, insight, and feedback to the consulting team and City staff. Over the past two and a half years, the CPAC has dedicated their time to creating a vision and direction for the City. The Plan update was a two phased process -the first being the public input intensive phase and the second, the creation of the Plan document. During the first phase of the update, the City held 13 focus group meetings and the Citizens Congress, a community-wide planning meeting, as opportunities for residents to provide input in to the process. As a follow-up to those meetings, a City-wide survey was conducted in early January 2007. Based on the information gathered during the public input phase, a vision for the future of College Station was formed and goals and strategies were created. Over the past several months, the Planning & Zoning Commission and City Council have held several work sessions to finalize the Comprehensive Plan document. On April 15, 2009, the Comprehensive Plan Advisory Committee met in joint workshop with the City Council and the Planning & Zoning Commission and agreed that the Comprehensive Plan was ready to proceed to public hearing.

J~ 1 ~.,....\II~· -· Hi Marcy, Lick Creek has a number of tributaries, as you can see on the attached map -'Lick Creek'. Lick Creek Tributary 13 runs through the Springbrook Subdiviison. The Bicycle, Pedestrian, and Greenways Master Plan process that has been underway for the last year is in regards to proposing new bike lanes, bike routes, sidewalks and multi-use paths. At the last community meeting, projects that were prioritized and discussed were proposed projects only. As you can see on the 'Top25Pedestrian' Map that was used at the meeting #14 Lick Creek is not in the Springbrook Subdivision. · The Lick Creek Trail project within the Springbrook Subdivision was adopted in 2002 as a part of the Bikeway and Pedestrian Master _Plan. From what I can find, there were at least two public meetings, an . on line survey and as apart of the adoption of the plan there was a public hearing. I, however, cannot find how people were notified. Since there was a public hearing, I assume as we are required now . .it was posted injhe::l'e:pe@ days before the public hearing. It is a funded project, as approved by citizens, in the November 2008 Bond Referendum and is labeled as such n any maps that are apart of the Bicycle, Pedestrian, and Greenways Master Plan, }v:; ~ >>>"Marcy Halterman-Cox, D.C., J.D., Ms.P.H." <nerves@suddenlink.net> 1/17/2010 3:03 PM >>> Hello Venessa, I wanted to follow up on a few things from our meeting at the City Council chambers on Thursday. Based on that and questions by a homeowner, I would like to ask - 1. What is the correct designation for the HOA's section of Lick Creek? As a homeowner, I (as I surmise others would be also) was dismayed that the input we thought we were providing at the 3rd Greenways meeting was on our section of Lick Creek when indeed it was not. Can you give us the legal name of the HOA's section of Lick Creek (tributary, etc.) so we can avoid further confusion on this? 2. You had mentioned that the SHOA section of Lick Creek was put in place by the 2000 Master Plan, which we have been able to access on line. A homeowner asked me about the type of notice the City did before including a fairly large section of private property in the Master Plan, which I can't find in the document. I know this was before your time with the City, but to be able to be informed on as many aspects of the issue as possible, we need the history from its' beginning. Thank you for your assistance in getting this information to us. Marcy
