Allen Swoboda raised the issue of traffic count. Councilman Schneider, conveying the thought that traffic count was 'ust one factor in his deci ion to require North Forest 7, Parkway, sa~.d that the number of vehicles is almost irrelevant to himl Councilman Haddox~indcated that he is trying to balance the City interest with the developer's economic interest. Allen .Swoboda stated that at t%e December Council meeting he thought the Council had indicated that he only had to build North Forest Parkwa the len th of one ot.

Elrey Ash mentioned-the subd-ivsion standards:- of the City of College Station 'and that the smaller street,. would be building this project into a box because it would hamper the traffic flow. Allen Swoboda showed an 'alternative ayout with straight streets and indicated that his-builders had said that it would not sell. Allen Swoboda proposed hat the City acquire part of the right- of-way* for North forest ~Parkway_ from the adjoining property owners and pad for two--third's of the construction cost. Theis proposal. did not receive :support. Councilman Schneider stated tha Nr. Fitch had been.. very success- ful with the construction of Deacon ~west~. There followed ds- eussion of the thoroughf~,are plan and the potential location of schools. A11er~ Swoboda inquired as to'the Council's decision with regard to the"construction of orth Forest Parkway and Councilman Haddox suggested the possibility of not requiring the cons ruction of the bridge. Discussion did not support this idea. Councilman Haddox inquired whether a purchaser o-f -this property from N . Swoboda..would be requir d to build the bridge. Elrey Ash ndi- cated that a purchaser auld be required-to build the bridge. Allen swoboda indicated that he objected to the-plats that had been presented to Counc'1.

The p ~1at was brought to the Commission by ::.the developer after Cit Council had decided to participate in the cost of Y channel work and oversize bridge construction necessary to extend Appomatox into this new section. ber 29~ 1989 the City Council approved a motion On Naverm directin staff to.." negotiate with the developer, Allen Sweboda using the theory that the City pay 100 drainage cash and up_to approximately 45~ bridge cost; and if the cost is over the figures presented in'the latest proposal, must be ustifedby bid".

This acces was ~'~ t® consist of a street 'that extended from the eastern boundary of the subdivision to the-East By-:pass frontage road. f I etin the Planning and Zoning At the January 4th me g Commission tabled consideration of the plat and-direc ed staff to research specific items related to the plat and ~ ~i 'ndn s. These areas of concern include: report their fi g 1.

The impact of the WWTP an future: residences shown on this plat and whether buffering is approprate._ These areas are examined below. R STREET NEED AND LOCATION: f The Cit of College Station' Throughfare Plan reflects Y ap~raximate locations for: fu-tune streets. This plan is schematic in .nature, identifying routes or corridors for '~ treets. Specific locations are typically identified futures _ d .~ zinc the deve l o~ ~1ent review prod: s ;_ 4. '. V 'i .. f To res and to the-Commsson''s request relative to the P approprate location for the future street it is necessary to o be and the level of study conducted for the original ~ y Thoroughfare Plan. Thi is done by investigating various factors which affect specific street locations. and other Dh sisal factors uch as flood plains. .Topography _ y and creeks should be taken ;into consideration. Streets should be laved out;so as to minimize bridges and other uctures (drainage, etc,). Topography can also impact str _ safte such as sight distance at intersections. Ph~rscal Y. factorspresent in this case allow flexibility in the street location. r Utility conflicts also impact preferred routes. These conflicts are minimal in this ..case as the area is largely undeveloped. fli.cts with structures and residences are also minimal Con due: to the undeveloped natture of-the area. Location aloha property lines can have advantages in cost sharina'of either development costs-or treat assessments. Disadvantages of location along property lines can occur when one property develops prior to the other. This situation can also limit .,the City's ability to extend streets through assessment programs if the area aloha..,. one side of the roadway has access via other :streets. The enhanced value to a property of providing a second access point is diminished. Relationships to future and existing land uses and ultimate street functan were considered when-the route was incorporated into the Thoroughfare Plan. Addtionaly, relationships to the areawde street system were also considered. Development timing is a factor that impacts the location of streets. New development may generate the.-need for a street . -If sa, the new development should install the street. Typically a street instal ed in this fashion is located so that the development cost per lot is at the. lowest possible level. The Commission requested that the demand for the street be identified. Demand or need for a collector as an alternate access route becomes necessary when factors are such than the rovision of the collector will .reduce congestion and p internal travel volumes by providing alternate routes, will disperse the impact of development on the ~xternalroad system, will provide alternate routes for emergency ve':~~:~c1es, wi11 pro~r~,~e continuity ir: the internal sts.~~et sys em for sere-ice;delivery and m intenance, will provide residents with an alternate span exit in case the other exit is blocked and when its pravsonwill nrovide the greatest traffic efficiency and app~rtunty for residents to get where they want to ao by the shorest pos ible route. Com arision of he projected traffic volume versus he p carrying rapacity of existing streets can indca e the need for additional streets or improvements to existing streets. Impact studies submitted by the developer identify adequate caa acity in existing streets eased on street- width only" and p do not take into account interruptions into traffic flow due to turning movements and through traffic-. Further study may show a~need for striping or sianalization at various locations. This need may be significantly different depending on whether North Forest Parkway is constructed, thus relieving Emerald Forest Parkway as the sale access into the subdivision. If .Emerald Forest Parkway remains the sole access for the subdivision further conside'rastion must be given -to the en~rronmental aspects of additional traffic movement through the existing neighborhood. A development such as the one. under consideration can impact service- de l very and public saf tey as we 11 as traffic volumes. The Commission requested comment from. service and emergency se-rvGe delivery departments of the City and these comments are attached in the form of mamas from those departments. In summary the comments from. police, fire and sanitation indicate a desire fcr an alternate route to be established with, the development of these new phases of the subdivision. A.s indicated above an analysis of the costs and benefits of developing a street can be weighed. against the estimated value of savings to;-the users of the facl%.ty. Savings are typically the value of time and vehicle o~eratn~ costs saved by use of the new-foci-lity as it allows residents to get to their destinations by the shortest route possible. such an analysis is beyond the resources available for this review. TRUCK TRAFFIC IN THE NEIGHBQRHOOD: i i a Resolve routing of ttrucks to ATP - _ trucks of residential street (? Issue Desire to keep TP can we assume thislto be street with residences fronting?) `~~~y want to keep -~, +ch trucks separ~,~,te from resident ~ ai • ~• e zraf f ic, etc . The ~lssue heare is not -gust the oder or noes associated with such trucks. The issue also includes he "common" airport scenario, where a facility is :built away from development. Development occurs near the facility, the the impacts associated with the facility become political issues. Problems- Keepin traffic of f of sewer plant road (Green teal ley Drive Syndrome) Problems (Complaints., etc) have occurred in other cities where. residential areas have crown up around municipal facilities, creating residential streets out of the access routes into and out of the facility. Se aration of traffic (keepi a pub of of f sewer plant road ~ p .. will become more difficult in the future, after Appomatox crosses the road. Carter Creek limits routes to the east. Traffic may (will) increase if (when ~~ land application of sludge ends. BUFFERING: .~ The Commission expressed concern about the proximity of the proposed development to the existing Waste Water Treatment Plant. These concorns centered on he impacts Qn future residences from plant noise and odors and the impacts on future plant expansion. Staff was .directed to in~restiaate the applicability under current law and local ordinances of requiring additionalbuffer area be ween the two uses. Under current 1-aws there. is adequate buffer required on the Waste Water Treatment P ant site itself The Department of Health requires separation between this tyke of ..use and residential uses o~ 150 feet from the plant facility to the residential properties. Current City codes and ordinances do not provide foriobtainin~ additional land to-act as a buffer without compensation to the Land owner. This includes whether the land is required to remain vacant or is limited to some other type of band use more compatible with the treatment plank facility. I CONCLUSIONS: { LOCATION AND NEED: After review of the facters which determine the best local ion for the sty rest it is found th~ t there is latt ~. tulle l as to exact-location. The street could be moved either north ar south along Appomatax: , The need for the street-should be based on saftey and service delivery factors, average and peak traffic volumes, officient and time effective rautina for residers ial traffic and conformance with the thoroughfare plan. From a safety and service delivery standpoint the need fo~° the street is created with this development. Conformance with the thoroughfare plan is achieved with therequirment for the street and residential traffic ~enerated.`from this new development would be Given a more efficient aces route with the provision'af the collector s reet. Because this. development creates a-need for the additional street it should. be located uch that this development provides 'that street. TRUCK TRAFFIC: Development of a road configured like North Forest Parkway would allow the durrent and future traffic from the WWTP to avoid the exist-na portion of Emerald Forest Parkway. Access to North Fareset Parkway from residential lots shouyld be avoided not only because-residers ial access to colectars should be limited but because of the WWTP truck traffic as well. Specific access during and after development wil require coordination between the developer, the City Attorney's office and the Water and Sewer Division. This will .have to be addressed_as a dart of the final plat review for each phase. of the subdivision. BUFFERING: Bufferrinq currently required under exisitng regulations is provided on the WWTP site at this time. To require additional buffering would constitute a taking and could require compensation, r d ~ ~ r~~ ~ b®~ TO: Major Feldman FROM : Lieutenant Onstott DATE: January 11, 1990 S U B~1 E CT Proposed Emerald Forest Addition After reviewing the preliminary .map for the proposed Emerald Forest Addition, I have the following suggestion. I would recommend that the City Sewer Plant Road be payed from the By-Pass East Feeder alT the way to the proposed Appomattox Extension. By doing this it would allow for two access 'points into the new addition. Appomattox Drive, the only proposed .access- to the area, could easily become flooded and impassable due to the creek that will have to be bridged. By paving the Sewer Plant Road this would allow another entry into the area if this occurs. Two access points would also help the Fire and Police Departments with their response times into the area. It would not only help the new addition but also .the older portion of Emerald Forest during emergency response situations.. I do not. feel that the proposed. one-way feeder roads which have been rumored for some time will present a problem in responding to calls in this area due to the new cross-over that was built at the entrance of Emerald Forest. r li M COLLEGE STATION pOLIcE DEPARTMENT INTRA DEPARTMENT MEMORANDUM TOe Major F~ld~an FROM.

The plat was brought to the Commission by the developer. after City Council had decided to participate in the cost of .channel work and oversize bridge construction necessary to axtend Appomattox into this new section. ~n November 29,1989 thae City Council approved a motion directing staff to..." negotiate with the developer, Allen Swoboda, using the theory hat the City pay 100% drainage costand., up to approximately 45% bridge cost; and if the cost is over the figures .presented in the latest proposal, it must be justified by bid". Included in the motion was the statement ....''that the p(at is submitted on the basis that North Forest :Parkway will be developed in the future as an additional outlet for the subdivision".~. This .access uvas to consist of a street that extended from the eastern boundary of the subdivision to the East gy-pass frontage: road. Subsequently, Mr. Swoboda met with the staff and indicated that. he did not want to construct North Forest Parkway. He later submitted a plat. depicting half of the right-of-way as a right-of-way reserve:. At the January 4th meeting the Manning and Zoning Commission tabled consideration of he plat and directed staff to research specific items related to the plat and report their findings. These areas of concern include: - 1 whether the collector shown along the north: boundary of the plat ~N:orth Forest Parkway} needs. to be reflected on the Thoroughfare Plan and if s~o, what the exact location should -be. 2. The impact Qf truck traffic to and from the waste water Treatment Plant ~WWTP} through the existing neighborhood. 3. The impact of the WWTP on future residences shown on this plat, implication for future permits for plant expansions and whether buffering is appropriate.

Topography cane also impact safety, such as sight distance at intersections. Physical factors present in this case allow flexibility in the street location. ~- Utility. conflicts also impact preferred routes.: These conflicts are minimal in this case as the area.: is largely undeveloped. Conflicts with structures and residences are also minimal due to the undeveloped nature of the area..:. Location along property fines can have advantages in cost sharing of either development costs or street assessments. Disadvantages of locations along property fines can occur when one property develops prior to the other. -This situation can also limit the City's ability to extend streets through assessment programs if the area along one side of the roadway. has access via other streets. The enhanced value to a property of providing a second access point is diminished. Relationships to future and existing .wand uses and ultimate street function were considered when the route was incorporated into the Thoroughfare Plan. Additionally, relationships to the areawide street system were also considered. Development timing is a factor that impacts he ovation of streets. New development may generate the need for a street. If so the new .development should install the street. This often results in the street being located within or adjacent to the new development. The Commission requested that the demand far the street be identified.

The Commissionrequested comment from service and emergency service deliverydepartments of the city and these comments are attached in the form of memos from those departments. In summary the comments from police, fire andpublic services indicate thatan alternate route could increase the evel of service response time,etc.~. Additionally the lackof an alternate route could...result in the disruption of emergency serviceso As indicated above an analysis of the costsand benefits of developing a street can be weighed against~the estimated value of avingsto the users of~thefacility. Savings pare typically thevalue of time and vehicle operating costs~saved byuse of the new facility alit slows residents to get to their destinationsby the shortest route possible. Such an analysis is beyondthe resources avalable for this review. TRUCK TRAFFIC IN THE NEIGHBQRH~JOD The city of College Station has a legal interest in the property for its use of a road to the Waste Water Treatment Plant,: one area of concern is the traffic currently associated with the Waste water Treatment:.:Plant. Various vehicles, including trucks hauling sludge away from the treatment plant, travel along sewer plant road... This type of through traffic is not typically found in neighborhoods. fmpaets from traffic olume, noise ar~d odor could be a source of problems and complantsp Impacts of truck traffic could potentially increase not only because of possible future plant expansion but due to re-routing of traffic when the By-.pass feeder roads go one-way. If I~arth Forest Parkway is built to standard as a collector, the plat design should avoid any lots with driveway access to this street, not only;because of the function of the street.., as a collector but because of potential conflict with truck traffic. BUFFERING: The Commission expressgd concern about the proximity of the proposed .~ development to the existing Waste Water :Treatment Plant. These concerns centered on he impacts on future residences from plant noise and odors and the impacts on future plant expansion. Staff was directed to investigate the applicabi ity under current laws and Deal ordinancesof requiring additional buffer area_between the two uses. The existing buffers at the WWTP site .meet: requirements under the current laws. The Department of Health requires~separation between this,type of use and residential uses. of 1 ~0 feet from the plant facility to he residential properties. Current. Cit codes and ordinances da not rovde .fore obtanin additional land y p g to act as a buffer without compensation to the land owner. Theis includes whether the land is required to remain vacant or is limited to some other type ofi land use more compatible with the treatment plant facility. ~:6~ It is .hard to tell at this time what impacts the proposed development might have on future permits far plant expansion as it is difficult to anticipate future changes in relevant regulation . SUMMARY: LaCATIQN AND NEED: After review of the factors which determine the best location far North Forest Parkway.: it is :found that here is latitude as to exact location. The street could be moved either north or south along Appomattox. The need fora the street should be based on safety` and service deli ery factors, average and peak traffic volumes, efficient and tine effective rowing for residential traffic and conformance with the thoroughfare plan. Frorn a safety and service delivery standpoint the need for the street is created.: with this development. Conformance with the thoroughfare plan is achieved with the requirement for the street and residential traffic generated from... this nee development would be given a more efficient access routewith the provision. of the collector street. Because this development creates a need for the additional street it should be located such: that this development provides that street. { TRUCK TRAFFIC: ~ Develo merit of a road confi used Tike North Forest Parkwa would reduce the P g Y impact of City truck and commercial truck traffic on Emerald Parkway. Driveway access to North: Forest Parkway from residential lots should be limited to avoid conflict with the through traffic common to a collector street. Rear yard orientation acts as a buffer .between the residential structures and this traffic. E fi .. , ,.I - Specific access to the treatment: plant during and after development will require ~ coordination between the developer, the City Attorney's office and the water and Sewer Division.

I seems that at one time the Ct had y title to a thirt -foot-wide section of land Y that was used to-acres the Wastewater Treatment Plant.: When the City was negotiating w 'th the Kapchinski family to obtain right Tap. of way for Krenek oad, the Kapchinskis desired to .:regain the . minerals underneath th e -City's land. As ...part of the right-of -way transacton,_a-correct I• on deed was executed by the Kapchinskis which conveyed a thin -foot-wide sec ion of land to the City, but reserved all miner 1 interest in he Kapchnskis. The thirty foot - s cton of -land is where the road is currently located for cuss. o the Wastewater: Treatment Plant. .The road, as it curren tly exists, cuts through the middle of Mr. Swoboda's plaanned"deve opmen Na urally, the City would be unwilling to give up~i ts access o the Treatment Plants. but a relocation of the road could be possible in conjunction with. the proposed development. i MLB ' l s ~ ~
