STAFF COMMENTS/.RECOMMENDATIONS
The applicant is requesting a variance from the requirement that streets be paved with a
two-course asphalt surface. This same ;variance request was made to, and approved by,
the Brazos County Commissioners Court based on the fact that the road which Headwater
Lane connects o (Capstone Drive) is also an unpaved, gravel road. It is the viewpoint of
the city:. staff that this is not a sufficient reason fore supporting this variance request because
it does not achieve the city's ultimate goal of having paved roads in areas likely to be
annexed in the future. The fact that this is a private roadway does not preclude the
developer from meeting the minimum paving standards. The staff does not support the
variance to the paving. standards.
With. the comments above, the staff recommends approval of this final plat.
