Commercial, R-5 Medium Density Apartments, and R-2. Duplexes, located along the south side of
Southwest Parkway at the proposed extension of Dartmouth Drive. (planning Case No. 97-113)
Item Summary: The subject property was rezoned in December of 1994 to the C-N, R-5, and R-2
designations. The Master Preliminary is scheduled for Council on November 13, 1997. The
purpose of the request is to shift the zoning lines to match the proposed lot boundaries.
Policy Issue Statement:
Civic Pride - Citizens benefit from well-planned, attractive residential and
commercial areas, and from preserving historic areas.
The Land Use Plan reflects medium density residential on the east side of the future Dartmouth
extension and attached residential on the west side with neighborhood commercial in front of it at
the intersection. The Thoroughfare Plan includes the extension of Dartmouth through the subject
property as a minor arterial. The preliminary plat shows compliance with these plans.
Item Background: The property was rezoned in October of 1994 from single family to the R-2,
R-5, and C-N designations. The applicant worked with the City to bring the request iniine with
the Comprehensive Plan, which had been updated shortly before that time to cover the FM 2818
extension area.
Budgetary & Financial Summary: The applicant is asking the City Council for Oversize
Participation for Dartmouth as a part of the platting process to recover the difference in cost
between the collector road that will be needed to serve his development and the larger minor
arterial that will be needed to serve the City's traffic needs. Oversize participation will also be
requested for right-of-way, water and storm sewer for this subdivision.

ENGINEERING
Water: The applicant is proposing to extend water service to and through the subdivision.
The City of College Station is requesting that a 12" water main be installed to provide a looped
water distribution system in the inunediate area.
Sewer: The applicant will extend sewer service to and throughout the subdivision. There is
capacity in the existing City sewer mains for this development.
Streets: The applicant will be extending Dartmouth Drive (90 foot right-of-way) through the
subdivision limits. The applicant's traffic impact study shows that the paved section as
presented will be warranted. However, the need generated by just the development of the
subject property warrants a smaller collector street section. Through a reCJ.uest for Oversize
Participation, the developer may be able to recover the difference in cost.
The subdivision will create one new cul-de-sac street, Teal Drive, with 50 feet of right-of-way.
Off-site Easements: The developer is obtaining a 20 foot public utility easement to install
storm sewer that will drain the runoff from the subdivision to the Krenek Tap storm sewer
system.
Sidewalks: Sidewalks will be constructed along both sides of Dartmouth Drive and the
developer is proposing to construct sidewalk along one side of the residential street, Teal Drive.
Drainage: The applicant has proposed extending a new storm sewer line to connect to an
existing storm sewer line located along Krenek Tap Road. Preliminary engineering reports
show the existing system along Krenek Tap Road to have sufficient capacity.
Flood Plain: The latest Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Flood Insurance
Rate Maps show that no portion of the subdivision is located within the Regulatory 100 Year
Floodplain.
Oversize request: See Budgetary and Financial Sununary Section.
Parkland Dedication: Parkland dedication will be required by a fee in lieu of land dedication
at a sum of $225.00 per dwelling unit. The fee will be collected at time of building permit.
