approved by the Brazos County Commissioner's Court. Chairman Rife asked Mr: Tondre if, at some
point, this property was annexed into the city limits, the property would be required to upgrade to city
standards. Mr. Tondre responded that since there is a private access easement leading to this road and
it is not a dedicated public right-of--way, the city would not be responsible for upgrading the road.
Commissioner. Rife asked that if annexation occurred in this area, would it remain a private road with
the subdivision responsible: for maintenance. Mr. Tondre explained that it would remain a private road
if the area was annexed in the future.
Commissioner Warl-en asked, in .terms of the question of adequate access, what w®uld be required to

City Planner Kee presented the .staff report. She explained .that the .phase is a continuation of the
Woodcreek development. In 1997, the Council re-zoned this tract of land to a PUD zoning
classification, and the tract of land associated with that tract had 13 lots. Planner Kee then explained
that a Planned Unit Development (PUD) is actually a rezoning process, but it requires platting along
with re-zoning. If any changes were proposed to the plat, another zoning process would be required.
The applicant and developer are proposingto change that original 13-lot plat to 12 dots to create slightly
larger lots. Since the applicant was coming before the Commission anyway, they asked the City to
place R 1B zoning on the property. This request is in compliance with the land use plan. One variance
was requested_to the. feeder street into the. cul-de-sac. Standard residential street right-of--way width is
50 feet under City standards. There is 50 feet of right-of way until you reach the center portion of the
street, and then it is a 40-foot right-of--way around the common .area. Staff supported the request
because of the 10-foot utility easement that will be platted on the interior. of that area so the City can
maintain the curb.
Chairman Rife opened the public hearing.
Benito Flores-Meath, .901 Val Verde, stated that he is in favor of the .concept of larger lots with
potentially nicer homes.
Joel Mitchell, 904 Park Place, the engineer (McClure Engineering) on the project, volunteered to
answer, any questions regarding this property.. Chairman Rife asked Mr. Mitchell if the detention pond
would be located on' the common area and Mr. Mitchell confirmed that it would. Commissioner
Mooney:.... asked if the subdivision restricted on-street parking. Mr. Mitchell .answered that it does not,
but additional parking spaces would be provided. Mr. Mitchell explained that thee. reason there was a
40-foot:right''-of--way'was because there. were parking .spaces jutting into that common area. The
parking spaces would be privately owned and maintained by the homeowner's association, with the
street remaining public.
Commissioner Warren asked what other alternatives would be available for the detention facility. She
also asked .what level of maintenance was anticipated. Mr. Mitchell responded that there are .other
alternatives to a detention .pond.. He stated that in some cases the City has taken over the maintenance
of a detention pond, although the City's standard of maintenance is .not what many of the homeowners
want. Mr. Mitchell further explained that, as far as not having detention, or providing sub-terranean
detention, the lack of detention<would be difficult, and sub-terranean detention is; infinitely expensive
and typically does not flourish in the soil found in this region for lack of percolation.
Chairman Rife closed the public hearing.
Commissioner Parker moved. to recommend approval of the request with the variance for the right-of-
way. Commissioner Horlen seconded the motion.
Commissioner Warren asked if, at some point the City should ultimately assume responsibility foe this
detention. pond, there were things that could be done that would be less costly to manage. Graduate
Civil Engineer Tondre responded that the City does have a design criterium that :would minimize the
maintenance cost on detention ponds. He also confirmed that those criteria would be applied in this
situation.
Chairman Rife called for the vote, and the motion to approve the request passed 7-0.

Item: Public hearing, discussion,. and possible action on a rezoning for Woodcreek
Section 8, located on the east side of StonebrooiC Drive. immediately south of Woodcreek,
Section 3. The request is to change. from PUD#2 to R-1 B (99-11 ~. There is .also a
request to consider a final plat for this same section with a variance to the street right-of-
way width (97 24~. The applicant is TAC Realty, Inc.
Item Summary: This phase is a continuation of the Woodcreek single family
development.. In 1997, Council rezoned this property from R-1 single family to Planned
Unit Development (PUD) #2 with an associated plat containing 13 lots. A condition of
approval was that the street be a public right-of--way rather than a private street, as is
typical in planned unit development districts. The current request is to reduce the number
of lots to 12 and rezone to R-1 B, which is asingle-family district with a larger minimum
lot size of 8,000 SF. Because this is presently a PUD, the plat is a part of the request-and
any proposed change to the plat must be considered as a rezoning. The developer is
reducing the number of lots due to the increased demand for larger single family lots.
The request is in compliance with the land use plan. A variance to the right-of--way width
is being requested and supported by staff Due to the design of the street with a common
area in the center of the cul-de-sac, there is adequate space for service provision. A 10'
utility easement should be added around. the common area for curb maintenance.
Staff Recommendations: Staff recommends approval as submitted with the requested
variance.
Related- Advisory Board Recommendations: `The Planning. & Zoning Commission
held a public hearing on June 3, 1999, and recommends approval of the rezoning to R-1B
and approval of the associated final Plato This recommendation includes the variance. to
the right-of--way.
