Item Summary: This preliminary plat divides the property into 3 lots and 3 reserve areas, Phase I consists. of approximately 23 .acres zoned C-B Business. Commercial including Glenhaven Drive from University back about 700 feet into the site. Phase 2 consist of I4.9.acres zoned C-B, Phase 3 contains 5.2 `acres zoned C-B and the 2 reserve ~~'f.; r ~''''taui 26.2 acres zoned R-5 Medium ~ :.~ Density Apartments. The entire property is bo.~'y- 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 the west. The Land Use Plan shows the arm ,as mixed use. There is a 1.15 acre tract at the verv corner of University and the SH 6 East Bypass 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 have to 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 preliminary plat.

Concerns were that. traffic. generated by this connection would have a negative impact on Glenhaven Drive south of University Dr. Divides property into 3 lots / 3 reserve areas. Phase I - 23 acres zoned C-B Business Commercial including. Glenhaven Drive from University back about 70U feet into the site. Phase 2 --14.9 acres zoned C-B, Phase 3 - 5.2 acres zoned C-B .and 2 reserve tracts contain 26.2 acres zoned R-5 Medium Density Apartments.. Also had concerns about traffic that will be generated from the development itself. ress~that°~t`aoment~°` I would like to claxify something said by the applicant's engineer and stated in a letter from Sharon Colson. Both indicated that the city .staff said that the Glenhaven connection had to be done. As you know the Glenhaven connection ~ on the thoroughfare plan and the subdivision regulations require plats: to comply with the comprehensive plan, which means: showing all thoroughfares as per the plan, or making an :argument that the thoroughfare .plan should be changed and presenting a plat that differs from the plan or requesting a variance to the preliminary platting requirements which would defer the issue as in the previous Texas World. Speedway case.. The Commission then has the responsibility to decide the issue. In this particular case Glenhaven has been on the plan .extending into Bryan for two reasons - to provide some additional north/south :movement through the community and to provide.. an alternative flow to the one-way frontage road. Although this is a good idea from a traffic standpoint, it is not critical to either College Station or Bryan. the .ce~~se. At the last mtg. the developer indicated they. do not need this connection for their development. Staff agrees that this development does not need the extension. Staff also does not have any great concern over deleting the connection from the thoroughfare plan. ~a3i `4`~ As for affic that will be generated from the development itself, the Commission realizes that t se issues are dealt with at the time of zoning requests. This property was rezoned in the. ~ to commercial and multi-family residential. This is very appropriate for a large tract at the intersection of two major arterial roadways. With zoning in hand, keep in mind that 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 we cannot affect the design through the-platting,process and how this ingress and egress ~_ occurs, . , ~.< ~~ ~~: ~-~~~~ Ed has put together some information for the. Commission and concerned residents regarding. traffic generation and distribution. I'll let him present this at this time. I would remind the Commission that action must be taken on this plat tonite either as a recommendation for approval, approval with conditions or denial for reasons stated. Stars original recs. are still valid with this reconsideration. ~, ENGINEERING Water:. Will be extended from University Drive from two locations. Desi n calculations iustfvina 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 this preliminary plat. An easement will :also be needed eztendn~ across Phase III to the Lamar Property. Sewer: Will be provided through existing. lines and a proposed 8" line. There. is an 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 Off-site Easements: N/A Sidewalks: At this time, .because of the impending. widening of University Drive by TXDOT, the developer will not 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. There should be a note on the plat stating hat easements will.. be located at he time of site design reserve tract lust west of Lot r, n-ocx i.. Flood Plain: Some 42.5 acres is in the floodplain, although none of the site has floodway ` on it according the applicant's engineer. The floodplain line should be designated as such on the preliminary plat. Oversize request: None requested Parkland Dedication:. None required for C-B. See memo from Park's Department.
