(98-821) Senior Planner McCully esented the staff report. She explained that the conve 'ence store would be permitted in this zoning dis 'ct, but the Commission would need to decide if t e gas pumps could be authorized under the provision hat states "other uses to be determined by th ommission". The total building would be divided into ease spaces that would meet the squ e foot maximum of each individual use. Commissioner. Maloney asked if the hour of operation could be li ted. Ms. McCully said that any potential negative impacts would need to b mitigated (i.e. lighti parking, etc.), but she :did not feel the .hours of operation would be included, she 'd that she wo check. with the. legal department. The Commissioners expressed their desire to have a equ e buffering between the development and the R-5 zoning. Mr. Parviz Vessali, representing the owner, sai that this d elopment would be similar in size to the existing convenience store at Holleman and elsh. He explai d that the current drainage problems would have to be resolved prior to deli 'ng the buffers. Commissioner Maloney moved to prove the request. Commissioner seconded the motion which passed unopposed (6-0). Commissioner Malone xpressed his desire to have the buffering presented at the ' of site plan.

R 5 zoned lots located. on the northwest corner of the. University Drive .and Highway 6 including the Glenhaven extension, (tabled by the Commission on November 5, 1998.) (98-327) Commissioner Garner made the motion to remove the item from the table for- reconsideration. Commissioner Parker seconded the motion which passed unopposed (6-0). City Planner Kee presented the staff report. She reminded the Commissioners-that this item was ;tabled due to extensive concern. from the residents in the Glenhaven Subdivision. The residents .who spoke at the last meeting were all concerned with .increased traffic and the quality of life issues in their P~1~ttnrrtes November 19, 1998 Page 2 oj4 neighborhood. Ms. Kee explained Ghat the Subdivision Regulations require compliance with the Comprehensive Plan and that it is Staffs responsibility to assure that all elements ofthe Comprehensive Plan are addressed. She said that the Glenhaven extension was added to the Thoroughfare plan to provide additional north-south movement and to provide an alternate flow of traffic to the frontage road. She said that the developer included the extension of Glenhaven in this Preliminary Plat to show compliance with the Thoroughfare Plan; but the extension is not needed in the development. Transportation Planner Hard discussed different scenarios for this area showing estimated traffic volumes. He explained that the recommendations made by Staff at the last meeting were still valid (listed below): • The 1.15 acre tract at the corner of University Drive and State Highway 6 should be included with this Preliminary Plat because it was subdivided out since the adoption of the City's Subdivision Regulations. • The plat needs to reflect shared or cross access with the adjacent properties. • A water line will need to be extended across Lot 1 to serve the corner piece. Staff would support a variance to require the development on the corner piece to construct this water line rather than the developer of Lot 1 (the easement is provided). • An easement will be .needed to extend the proposed Glenhaven Drive across Phase III to the Lamar Property. • There is an existing sewer line that has no recorded easement. This should be shown as a 20' public utility easement on the plat. • The plat .should show the location of the ofl=ramp where traffic exits the bypass to access University Drive. • Designate the access easement shown on Reserve Tract B as `pproposed". • There should be a note on the plat stating that drainage easements will. be located at the time of site design for the off-site drainage coming from Scott and White and that running through the reserve tract west of Lot' 1, Block 1. • Designate the floodplain line on the plat. Mr. Hard stated the following additional recommendations: • Allow commercial driveway in lieu of the extension of Glenhaven. • The Final Plat for Phase 1 should include: - Two driveways on University Drive at the median openings. - Provide access to frontage road. • Internal circulation should be addressed at time of site plan submittal. Staff recommended approval of the Preliminary Plat with all conditions expressed above. The Commissioners were concerned that the traffic generated from the development would use the signal and would enter into the residential neighborhoods. Greg Taggart, Municipal Development Group, said that he and the developer were present to answer questions. Thee Commissioners asked if the Developer knew of what type of business would be built in the commercial areas. PdcZ~nules November 19, 1998 Page 3 of ~# Mr. Frank Dehapoulas, Developer. said that the commercial area was intended for a commercial shopping center, which could include home improvements, specialty retail, restaurants, and banks. The intention is to provide a "gateway" to the Bryan/College Station area. He said that the Glenhaven extension was shown on the plat because it was required by the Thoroughfare Plan, but in actuality the extension would not be needed for this development. They were content with the commercial driveway instead. of the extension. The following people approached the Commission to express their concerns with this plat: Lee. Daniels, 1D01 Oakhaven J.O. Alexander, 1506 Lynx Cove Tim Smith, 1703 Serval Lane Ralph Hall, 1801 Springhaven Andrew Chen, 1101 Merry Oaks Katherine LaCour, 608 Summerglen Mark Shavers, 1114 Neal Pickett Sharon Colson, 1116 Neal Pickett The above residents were in opposition to any increased traffic in their neighborhood. and the quality of life issue. They were afraid that their :property .values would' decrease. Safety issues due to the increased traffic were discussed. They felt the area was vulnerable because of the lack of emergency protection since the fire station had been moved. They all agreed that they did not want Glenhaven extended and wanted it removed from the Thoroughfare Plan. Commissioner Mooney moved to approved the Preliminary .Plat with all staff recommendations and comments and to eliminate the extension of Glenhaven. Commissioner Maloney seconded the motion which passed unopposed (6-0). The Commissioners commended the citizens for being present to express their concerns. They all agreed that they did. not .want. another street with problems with excessive traffic, although there is a real need for anorth-south corridor. AGENDA ITEM NO.6: Other Business.

(98-32`~ .The applicant is Municipal Development. Group, Engineers for owner Delmar Baronhead I, Ltd. Item Summary: This preliminary plat divides the property into 3 lots and 3 reserve .areas. Phase I consists of approximately 24.7 acres zoned C-B Business Commercial. Phase 2 consists of 14.9 acres zoned C-B, Phase 3 contains 5.2 acres zoned C-B and the 2 reserve tracts contain 26.2 acres zoned R-5 Medium Density Apartments. The entire property is bound by University Drive on'the south, the SH 6 East-Bypass on the east, Bryan/C.S. city limits line on the north and duplexes in University Park on 'she west. The Land Use Plan shows the area as .mixed use and the Thoroughfare Plan show the northward extension of Glenhaven Drive through this tract. There is a 1.15 acre tract at the very corner of University and the SH 6 East Bwass',which should be included with the preliminary plat as it was .subdivided out since adoption of the City's Subdivision Regulations. This is particularly. important as the University Drive Study adopted. in 1991 and the City's Driveway Access Ordinance would not allow access to this corner piece. This corner will haveto have shared access or cross access with the adjacent Lot 1, Block Two and Lot 2, Block Two and this should be reflected on a nreliminarv plat. Item Background: The extension of Glenhaven north into Bryan is included on the Thoroughfare Plan in order to provide .additional north-south movement. between the two cities and also'. to provide an alternative flow to the one-way frontage road. Although this is a good idea from a traffic mobility standpoint, it does not appear to be critical to either College Station or Bryan.', At the. November 5, 1998 P&Z, the developer did not ask to vary from the Thoroughfare Plan and presented a preliminary plat which included the Glenhaven extension in order to comply with the plan. At the November 19th P&Z, the developer indicated that they did not need the extension for their development. Staff .agreed that the extension was not .needed for the development 'and indicated to P&Z that we did not have a great concern about removing the extension from the Thoroughfare Plan. ®:~goupWeve_ser~vaht~dec.109V 8-327.doc As for the traffic that will be generated from the development itself, the Council realizes that these issues are dealt with at the time of zoning requests. This property was rezoned in the early 90's to commercial and multi-family residential. This is very appropriate for large tracts at the intersection of two major arterial. roadways. With the zoning in place, the property owner has .rights to the uses that are permitted in these districts and to reasonable ingress and egress. These cannot be denied. That does not mean that the City cannot affect the design through the platting process and how the ingress and egress occurs. Staff Recommendations: Staff recommends approval with the conditions as underlined in the coversheet and attached Engineering Information as well as with the following conditions: 1.) That a commercial (private) drive be provided in lieu of extending Glenhaven through the tract. Approval of this condition would amend the Thoroughfare Plan to not extend Glenhaven Drive north of University Drive; 2.) That the Final Plat. for Phase I include two access points on University Drive and one on the SH 6 Frontage Road in order to distribute traffic so that one access point does not bear the burden of all traffic from the site. The two access points on University Drive would be located at median openings in accordance with TXDOT plans for'the widening of University Drive; and, 3.) That internal circulation for the site be addressed at the time of site plan review to ensure. adequate distribution of traffic to all access points. Related Advisory Board Recommendations: The Planning and Zoning Commission tabled the plat onNovember 5, 1998 pending additional information regarding traffic generation and due to resident concerns for the possible increase in traffic on Glenhaven. The P&Z approved the preliminary plat without the Glenhavcn extension on November 19, 1998. Council Options: .The Council may approve the preliminary plat, approve with conditions or deny.

Staff agreed that. the extension was not. needed for the development and indicated to P&Z that we did not have a great. concern about removing the extension from the Thoroughfare Plan. i As for the traffic that will be generated. from the development itself, the Council realizes that these issues are dealt with at the time of zoning requests. This property was rezoned in the early 90's to commercial and multi-family residential. This is very appropriate for large tracts at the iirtersection of two major arterial roadways. With the zoning in place, the property. ownerhas rights to the uses that are permitted in these districts and to reasonable. ingress and egress. These cannot be denied. That does not mean that the City cannot affect the design through the platting process and how the ingress and egress occurs. Staff Reconunendations: Staff recommends approval with. the conditions as underlined in the coversheet and attached Engineering Information as well as with the'following conditions: 1.) That a commercial (private) drive be provided in lieu of extending Glenhaven through the tract. Approval of this condition would amend the Thoroughfare Plan to not extend. Glenhaven Drive north of University Drive; 2.) That the Final Plat for Phase I include two access points on University Drive and one on the SH 6 Frontage Road in order to distribute traffic so that one .access ponrt does not bear the burden of all traffic from the site. The two access points on University Drive would be located at median openings in accordance with TXDOT plans for the widening ofUniversity Drive; and, 3.) That internal circulation for the site be addressed at the time of site plan review to ensure adequate distribution of traffic to all `access. points. Related Advisory Board Recommendations: The Planning and Zoning Commission tabled the plat on November 5,:1998 pending additional information regarding traffic. generation and due to' resident concerns for the possible increase in traffic on Glenhaven. The P&Z approved the preliminary plat without the Glenhaven extension on November 19, 1998. Council Options: The Council may approve the preliminary plat, approve with conditions or aeny.

Desi calculations justifying the proposed 8" lines should be submitted at the time of final plat A water line will also need to be extended across Lot 1, Block Two to serve the corner piece. Staff would. support a variance to require the development on the corner piece to construct this waterline rather than the developer of Lot 1, Block Two. The easement is provided on his preliminary plat. An easement will also be needed extending across Phase III to the Lamar Property. Sewer: Will be provided through existing. lines and a proposed. S" line.. There is an e~stin line that has no recorded easement. This should be shown as a 20' PUE on the preliminary plat. Streets: Property is bound by University Drive and the SH6 East Bypass west frontage road. The preliminary plat should show the location of the off--ramp where traffic exits the bypass to .access University Drive. Glenhaven is shown on the thoroughfare plan as a major collector to be extended through this property. There is a proposed access easement shown on Reserve Tract B which should be shown as proaosed rather. than existing. Off-site Easements:. N/A Sidewalks: At this time, because of the impending widening. of University Drive by TXDOT, the developer' will snot be required to install sidewalks on University Drive. The TXDOT project will include sidewalks along both sides of University Drive. Drainage: Detention will be determined at the time of site plan review..
