October 1996 Re: Demonstration Subcommittee COMMUNITY ENHANCEMENT.PROGRAM City of College Station Attn: Subcommittee Members - Charlie [iurris, Coordinator Jim Callaway Dr. Sharon Colson [3ill Kennedy Janet Hager Smith DEMONSTRATION PROJECT UPDATE J CALL FOR MEETING s"""~~ ~ "bit Though it has been quite a length of time since we last met as a subcommittee to cakgesuc«~.ta~ne~o discuss our aims for the Demonstration Project, I trust that you will be able to va~to~aco~ss remember the basic ideas that have been discussed. Recently, it came to my Pa~osa~ssa4 attention that an opportunity for demonstrating CEP recommendations might be available regarding property along Tarrow which is being looked at for rezoning. We looked at this property during our informal .drive-through and discussed various potential for implementing CEP recommendations, specifically concepts such as "gateway, streetscaping, parking, buffering, neighborhood identity", etc. Please note on the included plat four (4) lots facing Tarrow that are owned by Jim Griffin (who also owns The village Center across the street). He approached the City of College Station to obtain rezoning for all the lots to C-N which would allow him to provide parking (which could be used as overflow for the center) and a small office building. A site plan was submitted to the Clty, but the whole issue was tabled for various reasons. You may remember some ideas voiced by 1im Callaway for this property relating to our neighborhood area. Several people quic!<ly identified an opportunity for the CEP and .Demonstration Subcommittee to get involved, since we were already considering this neighborhood and various issues that could be implemented there. This morning I met with Charlie Graham, Jim Callaway, Joey Dunn, and Sabine Kuenzel to review the situation and to strategize regarding how the Subcommittee might focus on this property. We discussed two options regarding rezoning the entire property (currently two lots are C-N and two are R-~A): a) commercial {C-N likely) facing Tarrow or b) residential facing the side streets. We also came up with a possible schedule of immediate activities involving the Subcommittee: i) Immediate Subcommittee meeting with City Staff to address the issues relating to this property and come up with some preliminary conclusions as related to the Demonstration Project; identify potential contributing funds for eana~ application in the Project; establish Project aims if applicable to this site z) Meet with. the property Owner, Jim Griffin, to Inform him of CEP and City aims ch~AicBnrriia,AfA and to bring him into the process as a participant ~~u 3) Implement a neighborhood meeting at the local church to initiate dialogue between the parties as a preliminary step to establishing Project parameters Dr. flioe Abbott, AIA diei~'~''~`001 These are Just some preliminary thoughts. I am very thankful that some of you CbadG~auke,e~ have expressed interest to Charlie Graham regarding moving forward with the ~~ work of our Subcommittee. It appears we may have a catalyst in this piece of property so suitably located in relation to our area of interest. ~~~~k T~~ ~ t _. __ _.._ ~ _ _. w SUBMIT APPLICATION AND THIS LIST CHECKED-OFF WITH 16 FOLDED COPIES OF SITE PLAN FOR REVIEW MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS FOR SITE PLAN PROPOSALS (ALL CITY ORDINANCES MUST BE MET) INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE FOLLOWING: l~l.

Box 9960, College,Station, TX .77842-9960 Date: ~'~^ Number of pages including cover sheet: ~' Please comment Date: August 26, 1996 To: Kent Laza City Engineer College Station, Texas Re: Parking Lot 600 Tarrow Drive College Station, Texas Dear Mr Laza, ITEM ONE One of the items required by the City with regard for the parking lot plan was to increase the throat length approach from Banks and Payton Streets to 25'. This increase resulted in a loss of 4 parking spaces. The Owner is subjected to great expenses ( landscaping, sprinkler system irrigation, ete) just to provide. parking for 17 cars. These expenses can not be recuperated. The only reason the Owner contemplates building this parking lot is for the purpose of ameliorate the congestive parking situation across .Tarrow Drive in the Village Shopping Center of which he is the owner also, In order to increase the total number of parking spaces the. Owner requests that the area indicated on the Site Plan as "Future Building" to be covered with gravel and used as parking area until the new building is erected. The indicated concrete curb butting to the gravel area will be omitted.. Precast concrete wheel stops will be anchored in the ground at a distance of 20' from the concrete edge. ITEM TWO The Owner also requests the City to grant access to the parking lot from Paytol~ and Banks Streets as shown on the Site Plan. Alternative access from Tarrow Drive will be detrimental to the Streetscape and will create vehicular traffic. Si ely Constantin Barbu, C. BARBU CO -ARCHITECTS 2909 South Texas Ave, Bryan, Texas 77802 409( 7775 - 5540 9L-Bi~ From: Sabine McCully To: POLICE. DEPARTMENT(MSMITH) Date: 1.1/4/96 1140am , Subject: tarrow pilot project -Reply -Reply sorry, mark, that it's taken me this long to get back with you. the tarrow pilot project is a part of the community enhancement study that was conducted by Charles graham. i don't know how much you know about it, but essentially it is that study that was started about l and a half years ago with the goal being to enhance. property values in the city. the conclusion of the study had a myriad of recommendations that came'out of it, and council has put some money aside (not much) for. a pilot project. the area chosen lies somewhere between tarrow, university, and lincoln -- the western-most boundary is undetermined. there is a task force that has been put together - jim knows who is on it, I'm not sure i have a complete list. Charlie burris is the chair and Sharon Colson is on it. they have had a slow start. in the middle of all this, we've had a rezoning request that has been tabled due to oposition - this was tabled xather than denied to give the applicant time to talk with the neighborhood and with staff . the request was to double the amount of c-n zoned property on the strip bounded by peyton, tarrow,'and banks. whatever happens on the property will need to fit in with the.. pilot project in order for staff to recommend approval. we've talked with Stephen Simms,,. reverend of the church in the area.. he has been filled in on the above info and says that this will be a good opportunity for the neighborhood but that we will need him and other representatives of the area to act as go-betweens. has already met with. members of his congregation to pass on what i've told him about the pilot project., and the people have identified some: needs. Simms says that the expectation may be higher than the city resources would fulfill. so we will meet with stakeholders next, basically the deacons: of-the church that understand there are limits, to let them know what we've talked about so far and listen to their input .regarding specific needs. some of these needs mag include increased maintenance (that's where. you might come in) while others will include certain upgrades to streets and sewer lines. (this islwhere kent comes in, but we'll need your input regarding problems that you may know of as well.) jim and i are going to get with graham today to see when we can have this meeting (we're shooting for the second to last or last week in november). hopefully this won't be a night meeting.- we're trying to keep it from 3:00 to 5:00. »> Mark Smith 10/28/96 05:29pm »> Can you give me some idea what this deal is? »> Sabine McCully 10J28/96 05:18prn Mon »> Joey and talked. with Stephen-Simms again just now and came up with 5 days in november that could be good ones for us all to meet between 3 and 5 pm. Simms will go back to see if any of these are bad for them: monday, november 18 Friday, november 22 monday thru Wednesday, november 25-28 we will need to include kent and mark or kathryn because the neighborhod has some expectations regarding street, sewer, and other infrastructure improvements as well as the enhancements we are talking about.
