Appomattox Drive. By a previously approved development . agreement, property will be dedicated
adjacent to the existing park in exchange for monetary participation in the improvement to Switch
Station Road, which will ultimately be improved to provide a second means of access to the
Windwood Subdivision. Staff recommended a sidewalk along the north side of the most southerly
street adjacent to the park.
Applicant John Clark of 504 Crescent Drive in Bryan approached the Commission and stated that
there is. not a problem with building the proposed sidewalk; however, he would prefer not to bring
the sidewalk around the cul-de-sac to connect with the church property. Mr. Clark stated that he
would rather save. that expense and . would . prefer .that the church not use .that sidewalk. Mr. Clark
added that. with the small amount of pedestrian traffic, he would like to request a 4' sidewalk
instead of a 6' sidewalk to allow for additional savings.
City Engineer Pullen stated that the Parks department asked that the sidewalk be extended around
the cul-de-sac to connect with the church property and that the sidewalk be placed against the back
of curb for easier maintenance. The new sidewalk standards, require that sidewalks placed against
the back of curb. be a minimum of 6' wide. Variances to this requirements would have to be
approved by the Commission and City Council.
