Request for Ryder Franchise location approval
Just had a call from a Carl Barksley or Bargsly who lives in Shenandoah and is
opposed to the location of this facility at the entrance to the subdivision.
He is unable to attend the meeting tomorrow night, so I asked him to fax a
letter to Nat who will see that the Commissioners get a copy. He said there
will be a lot of people at the meeting, and I suggested that perhaps a bunch
of them might want to sign his letter or send one of their own. This is FYI

I want to emphasize that we are against the plans to locate a Ryder Truck business at the entrance
to Shenandoah Subdivision. We moved into the subdivision just 3 weeks ago, escaping the
College Hills subdivision, which is beautiful but now overrun by high density student housing.
t~Ve are very distraught to discover that we are almost immediately threatened in our new location
by business plans that would reduce the peacefulness, the attractiveness, and the neighborhood)
family-oriented ambience of our area.
If the leaders of College Station want a city .that has quiet neighborhoods with housing priced
under $200,000, this is their chance to prove it. Please don't sacrifice Shenandoah for the
almighty dollar. Vote against the Ryder Truck proposal.
Sincerely,
. Philip Dering, Ph.D.

SUBJECT: Ryder Truck Location
I would like to express my disapproval of the Ryder Truck plans to located at the entrance to
Shenandoah Subdivision. i thought the area was zoned for businesses which were beneficial to
our community. T really dv not believe that a trucking business is beneficial to our subdivision.
The majority of our homeowners moved here with the intention of becoming permanent residents
so, very few of us would ever need the kind of service which Ryder provides.
I believe if a trucking business moves in so close to a residential area like ours it will not be lang
until we look like I-4S in Houston. Businesses which we would use in our normal routines are
one thing, but, this type of business is used very infrequently, at best, by the average homeowner,
Not only will it be detrimental to the aesthetics of the entrance to our subdivision it will be a
traffic problem with drivers trying to navigate the center island to enter the Ryder parking area.
Traffic is becoming hectic, at times, as it is without the added confusion of large trucks.
I will close by saying that as a Shenandoah Homeowners Association Executive Board member i
feel 1 can speak for my neighbors and friends by indicating that this is not in the best interest of
the homeowners of'Shenandoah Subdivision.
I am faxing you a copy of the FDP4 for Stores document #073092.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Planning and Zoning Commission
FROM::. Sabine M`Cully, Senior Planner
DATE• ' August 29, 1996
RE: Proposed Ryder Facility to be located on the southwest intersection
of Southern Plantation Drive and the Highway 6 frontage
The proposed Ryder parking lot is to be located at the entrance of Shenandoah
Subdivision. The property is zoned C-N Neighborhood. Commercial, which requires that
each individual use receive Commission review. The Commission should find that the
proposed use meets the purpose statement of the C N district, and that it is a similar use
to the other permitted uses in that district. A conceptual layout has been submitted. The
applicant is requesting review of the use only and will return. with a formal site plan if the
use is permitted by the Commission.
The site) is currently vacant and adjacent to a veterinary clinic that is recently built. The
fronts eual plan shows parking.. along the frontage of the property on the Highway 6
g I road and a circulation aisle behind it. The intent is to use some of the front area
for the parking and display of the Ryder trucks but the bulk of the storage of the trucks is
to be on the rear half of the lot. That storage area is to be gravel with no public access.
There is a 6' existing screening fence along the rear of the .property, and existing 6' wall
along the side street frontage on Southern Plantation that extends to the existing sign for
the subdivision.
The applicant will need to request a variance to the City's paving standards as a part of the
site plane, in order for that area to be gravel. The only time the City has granted approval
of such gravel lots has been in industrial areas when that portion of the lot is completely
screened from view and is not accessible by the general public. Staff would recommend
that the I,same screening be applied in this. case. The result will be roughly a third of an
acre of enclosed property devoted to storage of rental trucks. Portions of the trucks
themselves will be visible above the screening.
The purpose statement of the C-N district is as follows:
This district provides small commercial sites for residential convenience goods and
personal service businesses. No use shall.be allowed which would adversely affect the
health, safely, welfare,. or residential character of the neighborhood. The use shall be a
low traffic generator and shall not create any noise, light, or odors abnormal to the
neighborhood. No outside storage or display of goods or materials shall be allowed.
The uses listed as permitted are as follows:
Retail sales of beer and wine (max. floor area is 2,500 s, f)
Retail food store (max. floor area is 2, SOO s,~
Retail sales (max. floor area is 2, 000 s,~
Restaurant (off premise consumption only) (max. f Zoor area is 1, 500 s, f)
Personal service shops (max. floor area is 2;500 sf)
Offices (max. floor area is 2,000 sf)
Staff does not believe that the Ryder facility meets all of the qualifications as laid out in
the purpose statement. It would serve a larger market than the convenience of the
neighborhood behind it, .and will include outside storage of the trucks. Therefore Staff
would recommend denial of the use.
The applicant intends to meet with the area residents in an effort to work towards
conditions that may render this use more compatible with the area. The results of that
meeting are not available at the time this memorandum was drafted.
