From: Edwin Hard ~-- Toc Jane Kee, Jim Callaway,. Shirley Volk ~ Date: 9/17/98 11:52AM Subject: Seaback Master Plan ti. Got calls from both D. Neal and T. Crowley.. G -t i David says that the meeting we have with Seaback's rep (ON THE 29TH?) will probably be withdrawn. CSISD and Seaback are trying to work out acontract for the property. Both want CSISD to be the applicant for bringing the Master Dev. Plan/PLat through the P&Z and .Council process. Both agree that they want the straight alignment and say that they have McClure and Blaschke support. David said Gary spoke with a woman on Renee Lane who said she was a "leader" out there and he thinks there will not be DAVID THAT WE HAD that stong of opposition b/c of the increase in their property. values. I TOLD DISCUSSED. THIS AND THAT STAFF FAVORED: AN ALIGNMENT THAT WAS MOVED AWAY FROM ~I ALONG THE REAR OF THE RENEE LANE FOLKS. Neal said that they are prepared to bring this through the process and let it fall out where it may. Crowley called concerned about having to change his plan as aresult of Seabacks desires.. I told Tim that I recognized that he had already moved his street and that if'Seaback moved where Victoria came out on SH 40 to line up with his planthan it would be a good compromise. 1 told him that I also told this to Neal for him to pass along to Seaback. This would allow Seabck o have one potential commericial corner on 40 as opposed to two. Crowley said he would come out. in opposition to any-commerial zoning at this corner. '~, Crowley said that he will have. his Maste Plan revisions approved. by P&Z and Council before CSISD and Seaback can get under contract. He wanted to know what he needed to do to get started.

Box 9960 College Station, Texas .77842 Re: 735 Acres - College Station, Texas Dear Jane: Tel: 713. 651. 1771 Fax: 713. 651. 1775 E-mail: law@bpcd.com Along with this letter are fifteen (15) small colored copies of the proposed master plan of the 735 acres at the corner of Hwy. 6 and Greens Prairie Rd., as well as two copies in a larger .format. A master plan similar to this, but not identical, has been previously approved by the Parks Department, the Planning and Zoning Commission, and the City Council. The primary changes in the master plan are for the following reasons: 1. TXDOT changed the alignment and expanded the right of way for State Highway 40. 2. US F&W has required a .different configured and larger conservation area for the Navasota Ladies Tresses, to be acquired by TXDOT. 3. The transportation Department of the City of College Station requested that the number of crossings that the road alignment changed the crossing Greens Prairie Rd. to reduce the crossings from three to two, and to change the spacing on the crossings on State Highway 40. 4. The Developer has introduced a new concept in the land use of an age restricted community and that is a concept that is not currently in the market place but has become very popular in the Houston area, particularly in the Woodlands. The introduction of this concept slightly raises the density, but I think it will be a real contributiotl. I look forward, to meeting with you soon to discuss the new drawing.

Tue, Nov 17, 1998 8:31 AM Subject: Re: Crowley Predevelopment Meeting At a future meeting, I would like to find out'what type of pipeline is located in the western end of the property. A LPG_(Liquified natural gas) pipeline is located along Greens Prairie Road. I don't know if the line that runs through the Crowley tract carries LPG. If it does, I would have concerns about the proposed scholl location and some of the. residential areas as well. The main difference between LPG and the natural gas used in most homes is that it is heavier than air and collects in low areas rather than rising and dispersing like natural .gas. It is highly explosive in this state (same as the product in theBrenham'area explosion a few years ago) and does not take much to ignite it. »> Natalie Ruiz 11/18/98 12:05PM »> 1 just received the agenda for the first of several standing predevelopment meetings to discuss the development located at Greens Prairie and Highway 6. At 4:00 on Tuesday, November 17th, in the City Hall Training Room we will discuss the following items:. Layout of the Master-Plan Variances to Street Widths Textural. Paving Lighting. Sidewalks Water & Sewer trunk lines Phase One Final Plat The following people that should attend this meeting are Veronica, Jeff, Tony, Jane & Bob Mosley. Anyone else who would like to attend is welcome; however, we will only discuss the items listed above ', since we only have 1 hour. I have asked that the developer fax us an agenda the-Friday before a meeting so than we can determine -who needs to be included: ', Thanks!

Ms. Veronica J. B. Morgan, P. E. City of College Station P.O. Box 9960 1101 Texas Avenue College Station, Texas 77842 Re: Required Horizontal Clearance to Obstructions of Modified Collector Roads "° Dear Ms. Morgan: Based on the AASHTO publication of "A Policy on Geometric Design of Highways and Streets 1990" and the design speed stated for collector roads in the City of College Station's "Subdivision Regulations" the proposed modified collector road within the Crowley Tract is shown to have an adequate clear recovery zone. Attached is a print of the typical section for the modified collector road. This is an open ditch section, showing 14-foot lanes with 4-foot shoulders. Beyond these 4-foot shoulders are 17-foot drainage areas making up the 70-foot right-of--way. The design speed stated in the Subdivision Regulations for a major collector road is 35 mph. A minimum 10-foot clear zone is required, with a 3:1 or flatter foreslope, as stated in the AASHTO publication on page 476 for rural collector roads with a design speed of 40 mph and below. This 10-foot clear zone is measured from the edge of the through-traffic lane. The proposed modified collector as stated above has a 4-foot shoulder and a 17-foot open ditch section with maximum side slopes of 3:1, therefore exceeding the minimum criteria of 10-foot as stated in AASHTO publication.

Sewer Trunkline for the Crowley Development The proposed method of design .and :construction of that portion of the .Spring Creek Impact Fee Sewer Trunkline from the termination of Phase I of that line at a sev~~er manhole east of Highway 6 through the .planned development involves design by a Professional .Engineering Firm under` contract with the Developers with Bid and Construction to be managed by the City of College Station. The following issues relate to that method of design and construction. * A contract will be required between the Developer .and .the. City of College Station to detail the scope of services of the Professional Engineering .Firm; identify responsibility and warranty of the plans; and services of the. Professional Engineering Firm during bid/construction .:related to correction of errors and omissions, construction :.administration, change orders initiated by others not resulting from problems with the plans and specifications.. The City's professional services contract and the indemnification or professional services liability insurance is not required. * The cost of the engineering services are eligible for impact fee credit when plats of the development are filed. Only those costs actually involved and compatible with the impact fee .ordinance are eligible for credit.. Costs `must be maintained completely separate"of other development services and are subject to audit. * Submittals must include metes and bounds for the sewer line easements.. The costs of generating the metes and bounds, drainage. improvements, and land costs .are not eligible for credit.. * The City of College Station must be given review and control authority of the issues related to the trunkline plans and specifications. * During bid and construction, the Professional Engineering Firm of the Developer will be available to perform construction administration services and address any problem that surfaces related to the plans and specifications. * The City of College Station will accept the plans and', specifications and solicit bids for construction of the trunkline portion of the development. Construction management and ..inspection will be the responsibility of the City of College Station. The City of College Station will pay the cost of construction. Once the Developer has collected all credit entitlements, the Developer will be required to pay the cost of .impact .:fees for additional platted. portions of the development to reimburse the City of College Station far their portion of the construction of the sewer trunkline. -, ,. ~ ~ ~ ~ .~,. ~ d s ~' d ~~~~ ~ (~ -~~ a:A COLLEGE STATION P.

Box 9960 1101 Texas Avenue College Station, TX 77842 Tel: 409 764 3500 MEMORANDUM TO : Planning and Zoning Commission~~~ FROM : Ed Hard, Transportation Plannerri~(7o`l DATE : November 3, 1998 RE : Staff Recommendation (Estates of Spring Creek and Crowley Pians), Planning Cases 98-324 and 98-329 Since the writing of the staff report, we have reconsidered the impact of a cross-over on SH 40 at Victoria. We no .conger recommend ..that across-over be provided, at this location. There are two primary reasons. for this change. The first is the negative impact that it would have on SH 40 from a traffic .flow standpoint. Across-over at Victoria .could very possibly-require a traffic signal on SH 40. Such. a signal would stop. high speed. traffic and make. SH 40 a slower and less efficient alternative to SH 6. SH 440 is intended to function as a north-south highway to,facilitate regions(traffic movement to our community's west side. It is especiai y important as an-alternative north-south route to SH 6 and the southern portion of Texas Avenue. The second is -the potential #or higher than desired traffic volumes on Victoria. Victoria is designed and intended as a' major collector roadway. The cross-over could increase the traffic volumes 'beyond the design capability. The City's Land Use Plan shows this entire section of south College Station; as medium density single family residential. 1Nith the cross-over in place, Victoria would become'a long, continuous thoroughfare and create a high volume .intersection which would foster. pressures. for commercial (land uses. ;Not having the cross-over and having Victoria "T" into either side of SH 40 on the Crowleyand Spring Creek',Plans would be more in keeping with .City's Land Use Flan. These "T" intersections with'SH 40 lend themselves to "neighbofiood" comme[ci<~I at these comers; ratherthan major commercial development which could be the case with the cross-over in place. Home of Texas A&M University P8~ Cases 98-324 & 329, Page 2 Without the cross-over, there is no longer a need for Victoria on the Spring Creek and Crowley Plans to be <aligned opposite of each other. This change will now` allow the terminus of Victoria at SH 40 to remain as shown on the Spring Creek plan (or shifted slightly northwest if desired. by the developer). It will also allow'the location of Victoria (or what would have been Victoria) on the opposite side of SH 40 to remain ins the location as shown on the Crowley plan and .not require shifting it to the northwest. cce Mr. Gary Seaback Mr. Tim Crowley.
