RE: Avenue A development requirements
Dear Sherman:
College Station, TX 77842
~v ~
In response to your inquiries regarding possible building and/or subdividing within the area fronting on
Avenue A, I have gathered the following information:
Water
There is a 2" water line .running along the eastern rear property lines of the lots fronting on Avenue A.
We currently have a number of taps on that line, and by TNRCC regulations, we cannot allow another tap
on that line. The City is aware of water pressure problems in the area and has concerns that fire
protection is currently inadequate. Unless these problems are addressed, .they will increase with new
construction and any new buildings will experience similar or worse conditions.
The City will address the existing water concerns by installing a 6" water line from Lincoln, down
Avenue A in the existing 16' right-of--way.. The project is slated to begin within the next twelve months.
The City staff is currently working on the exact timing of this waterline upgrade.
There is also a 12" waterline located"in the Lincoln right-of-way. Extension of that waterline by builders
or developers is likely to include a bore of that street.
Sewer
There is currently a 6" sanitary sewer line located in the Lincoln right-of--way that may provide sewer to
l lots that front on Avenue A. Extension of that sewer line by builders or developers will likely involve an
open cut of a portion of the Lincoln pavement.
The City is planning on providing a sanitary sewer line within the right-of--way of Avenue A. The timing
of this project will be similar to'the timing of the waterline upgrade.
Streets
Avenue A consists of a 16".gravel road that dead ends into the northern-most lots on that street. The City
has concerns regarding the fact that two cars cannot pass each other, on-street parking may prevent
ingress and egress of emergency. vehicles, and the lack of any turnaround is inefficient for emergency and
service vehicles.
The City's Subdivision Regulations require that all new lots have access to a public or private right-of-
way. In such cases, we usually require an additional right-of--way dedication and in some cases, an
upgrade of an existing road. Eventually, Avenue A needs to be upgraded to at least a 30' right-of--way.
with a 24' paved section. Where possible, the City will require at least half ofthe additional right-of-way
that will be needed in the future. in the case of Avenue A, Staff will recommend that the City require an
Home of Texas A&M University
additional T of right-of--way on each side of the existing 16" right~f--way section. In this fashion, the
City may eventually obtain the majority of the additional right-off way needed for an upgrade. Tlus
upgrade will occur in one of two .ways: 1) through a petition paving project initiated by the residents of
Avenue A or 2) through a CDBG funded infrastructure improvement project. In areas such as the infill
development that is occurring on Avenue A, we do not envision these upgrades to occur through the
development (redevelopment) process. In this particular case, a street upgrade through this process would
be piecemeal at best and therefore inefficient.
For the time being, basic maintenance of the area should continue on a regular basis, and additional right-
of way dedication will be required when possible.
Options:
As applicant for anew coristructionproject on Avenue A, you have the following options at this time:
1. Role as builder --build one home on the existing lot in the northeast corner of Lincoln and Avenue A.
a. No subdivision plat will be required.
b. Ord. No. 1046 will apply to the lot depth, and no variance to the lot dimension is
required. However, setback variances may be required.
c. Water must be taken from the 12" waterline located in Lincoln. The City, will bore
Lincoln at a cost to the builder of 515.00 per linear foot.
d. Sewer must be extended to the. site. The line may be a 4" single.. service line
extending off of the existing 6' sewer line in Lincoln. A street cut permit may be
required at a fee of 5125.00 plus cost of the work. The City may opt to ...participate in
upgrading the single service line to a public line that may be tied onto in the future.
e. Standard tap fees will apply.
f. Access must be taken from Avenue A.
g: No upgrade or right-of-way dedication will be required.
2. Role as developer now -- subdivide lot into 3 separate lots and build 3 homes
a. Subdivision plat will be required along with water and sewer line construction
documents.
b. Ord. No. 1046 no longer applies. -lot depth variances will be required. Setback
variances may be required as well.
o. Water must be extended to and through the property as a public line from Lincoln to
the end of the northern-most lot. Fire hydrants will. be required per the Subdivision
Regulations. Bore fees will apply.
d. A public sewer line must be extended to and through the property. Street cut permit
fees and costs must be borne by the developer. -
e. Tap fees will apply upon building permit applications.
f. Access must be taken from Avenue A to all lots.
g. Dedication of 7' for Avenue A will. be required. Staff will recommend that no
upgrade will be required.
3. 2, Role as developer later (around Fall of 1998) -subdivide lot into 3 separate lots and build 3 homes
a. Subdivision plat will be required.
b. Ord. No. 1046 no longer applies -- lot depth variances will be required. Setback
variances may be required as well.
c. Water may be available at that time that the developer could use to satisfy utility
infrastructure requirements.
d. Sewer may be available at that time that the developer could use to .satisfy utility
infrastructure requirements.
e. Tap fees will apply upon building permit applications.
f. Access must be taken from Avenue A to all lots.
g. Dedication of 7' for Avenue A will be required. Staff will recommend that no
upgrade will be required.
If you have any questions or wish to pursue any of these options, please give me a call.
Thank you.

I wanted to inform everyone involved on the status of this project. Last week, I received the temporary
construction easement. from Legal. 1 have informed McClure Engineering to begin work on finalizing the
construction documents. The project will be advertised for bids sometime next week. I am planning on
taking the award of the construction contract to Council on June 11, 1998.
I contacted Sherman Click today and advised him of the status. I-also informed him that the construction
for this project will begin between the first or mid month of July. The construction start date will depend
on the contractor obtaining his bonds and executing the contract.
Let me know if you have heard anything else or have any questions.

Avenue A
think that the sewer for Avenue A should be run along the west side of the street and then the water
line oould be run on the east side of the street rather than in the rear as shown on the plat. The plat
does not show the 12 inch water line on the south side of Lincoln which could supply a 6 inch line on
Avenue A. This would allow us time to extend the line on Nimitz at our convenience and then kill the 1"
~~, line in the rear of the lots on Avenue A.

Subject: Sherman Click - Avenue A
Apparently sometime in September 1997 Sabine met with Sherman to
discuss his .idea of subdividing part of a big lot to create
several smaller lots. Following that inquiry from Sherman Sabine
put together a lengthy letter containing a lot of information
regarding existing infrastructure and the .problems he would have
to address if he subdivides the property into smaller lots.. This
letter primarily addressed specific questions, and was never
meant to be a list of everything required in a replatting
situation. The date of that letter is September 24, 1997. No
specific mention of parkland dedication requirements are made,
but mention is made that a subdivision plat will'be required.
The assumption here would be that all requirements ofthe
subdivision ordinance would have to be met. Parkland dedication
is included in the subdivision ordinance.
Sherman turned in the application for replatting the property on
11/12/97.. Fo lowing that submittal, the .review of the plat
`begins, and while we did not hold a formal "prc" review of the
plat, there are some notes in the file to indicate that Sherman
had not been. informed during that presubmittal meeting that
parkland dedication would be required, nor that a drainage report
would be required. From. the notes I would. also conclude that I
was the person chosen to call Sherman to inform him that these
two items would be required. Neither is an unusual item - all
residential lots which are created are .required to make a
parkl'aald dedication and in recent years in areas where replatting
occurs, drainage reports have been required. This is the case.
even 'in infll areas. (Examples are the. duplex lots. which were
replatted on Dexter & Southwest Parkway some time ago. Also the
large lat which was divided into several smaller lots between the
duplexes on San Mario and the LDS church on Deacon.) The notes
concerning these two terns'were written around 11/24, so I would
guess that I made that phone call to him about then to tell him
about these requirements.
The public hearing to consider the replatting of this low density
property into 3 lots was considered and approved on 12/4/97 by
the P&Z.' The parkland dedication requirement is described in the
staff report which was. included in the packets given to the P&Z
for this meeting and stated the followings "Parkland dedication
will 'be required for. the additional two houses at $225.00 per
home." That parkland must be paid before the plat gets filed for
record at the courthouse, It is staff's policy`to try to get a
copy of that staff report to the applicant prior to the meeting.
Again, the assumption is made that Sherman received a copy.
The ZBA had granted variances to the lot depth and lot size on
1:1/18./97.
s
Since the plat was filed for record, `Sherman has built one house
on the property, and has been waiting for. additional.
infrastructure to be built by the City (instead of the developer
as is normal in platting situations) so he can build the other 2
houses.
Hope this .gives you the background you need.

O.K. I still have aquestion - do you tell Sherman about parkland and drainage requirements or do I?
»> Sabine McCully 11/26/97 08:52AM »>
parkland is one' of those things that we always discussed with the applicants when they got here for the
predev't mtg. in fact,. i dont' think we even had a staff mtg where we discussed this item at all. sooooo,
things that we normally work out with the rest of staff like parkland and sidewalks were missed during
that review. the drainage report was also missed,. but 'again, this may have been something that would
have been caught if we had had all of the usual meetings regarding a case. especially now that we have
relatively new people-reviewing plans. i don't think we're ready yet to let them review without v and me
checking their work.
because we "missed" the sidewalk the first. time around and it's not ahealth/safety issue, we are not
going to require that the platbe redrawn to provide room for it (there is not enough room now in the
existing ROV1n. but drainage IS health/safety, especially in this area, so we are going to have to require
it. parkland is one of those things that we quite often have waited until the staff report goes out to give a
final word on whether or not we will require a fee. maybe this is not right but it's the way we've been
doing it.
»> Shirley Volk 11/24/97 04:48PM »>
Sabine, I never was in any meetings with Sherman about this, but I did call Brad Kerr to tell him
everything that was. noted on the plat in (I believe: it was) blue in your handwriting, but I don't remember
seeing anything about a drainage report. i DID tell him about the additional money to cover the cost of
notification, but I don't remember if parkland was mentioned during that conversation.
can call Sherman and tell him if you wanf me to. Just let me know.

are available or something like that.

perhaps we could simply put notes. on he replat that the other two lots are not buildable and then` require
a replat later on to remove those notes. would both processes be minor plats? looks like it to me
according to the definition.
~ »>
»> Jane Kee 10/31/97 10:27AM
I don't think this is a variance request. A variance would mean the requirement does not have to be met.
I see this as a timing/responsibility issue: If it is truly a variance it goes to PNZ. If it's timing /
responsibility issue it might require a development agreement and that goes to CC. I would hope we
could find a simpler way than that. Maybe we can condition the plat that these are not buildable lots until
water and sewer are available or something like that.

avenue
here's the deal: property owner and his builder had everal options for developing the big lot at lincoln
' as chosen the first o tion as described in the letter i wrote. this
and avenue a. for the time being,. he h P
means he will build only one home on the lot. and subdivide later when the city finishes the water and
sewer line upgrades. this means by the time he wants to resubdivide to create two additional lots out of
the remainder, he will not need to extend these lines himself..
he is going to zba for lot setback variances next Tuesday and wants to get a permit for one house real
soon after that.
~ he is complaining hat when he gets the financing for the one house, he will have to tie up the entire lot,
not just a portion ,cause right now the city does not recognize any portions as meeting legally platted lot
lines. so he wants to go ahead. and get the plat approved and filed now, and would agree to wait and get
permits on the other two houses at a later date.
the only way to do that now and nothave to extend the water an sewer himself is to ask forea variance.
i have two questions:1. would we support such a variance and 2. is this considered a minor plat or does
it have to go to pnz?
