Item: Consideration of a Final Plat for O.C. COOPER PLACE, RESERVE TRACT A, 3.6 AC.
located on Holleman Drive immediately west of the Enclave Apartments. (99-12)
Applicant: KERR SURVEYING for the Alexandria Group
Item Summary: This is a final plat for 3.6 acres located on Holleman Drive just west of the
Enclave Apartments. The tract is being platted for development as 6-plexes. It is currently zoned
R-5 for such development. An additional 15' of right-of-way for Holleman Drive is being
dedicated with this plat to comply with the thoroughfare plan. Staff reviewed this plat on March
23, 1999 and had minor comments, with one exception. The sanitary sewer capacity in the area is
not sufficient for this intense development. Over the past month, staff has worked with the
applicant to resolve this concern. Public Works Engineering is working on a sanitary sewer capital
project that will correct this situation and allow this development to occur. The development will
be phased in two phases with 4 - 6-plea units being developed in Phase 1 to open in Fall 1999.
The remainder will be developed in Phase 2 after the upgrade.
Parkland dedication will be a monetary dedication for this site. The applicant may opt to pay all
parkland dedication fees now rather than wait for Phase 2 to be constructed, as dedication fees will
increase this summer. If they only pay for Phase 1 now, Phase 2 will be subject to the increased
fee at time of permitting.
Item Background: This is a final plat of Reserve Tract "A", previously shown on the Preliminary
Plat of the O.C. Cooper Place Subdivision, which was approved in 1996.
Budgetary & Financial Summary: The City of College Station will be upgrading a sanitary sewer
trunk line in the area to allow for this development.

AGENDA ITEM NO. 3: Public hearing and consideration of a use only permit in a C-N
Neighborhood Commercial district for aself--serve car wash on Lot 2, Block A, Culpepper Plaza.
(99-711)
Seruor Planner McCully presented the staff report and explained that the subject site is zoned C-N
Neighborhood Commercial, which requires the Commission's approval. In order to approve the use
and site plan of a C-N proposal, the Commission must firid that the purpose of the district would be
met. The Zoning Ordinance states the purpose of the C-N district as follows:
"This district provides small commercial sites for residential convenience goods and service
businesses. No use shall be allowed which would adversely affect the health; safety, welfare, or
residential character of the neighborhood The use shall be a law traffic generator and shall
not create any noise, light, or odors abnormal to the neighborhood No outside storage or
display of goods or materials shall be allowed "
The applicant was proposing to construct aself--serve car wash on the site. The use will be located
across the street from a shopping center, a vacant bank drive-thru, and a church facility. The site
immediately abuts existing single family to the north. At a minimum, the applicant would be required to
construct a 6' screening fence. The Commission may consider additional buffering along the common
lot line, in order to further mitigate potential impacts. There may be some concern regarding potential
noise and lighting impacts to the adjoining neighborhood. The applicant has stated that the equipment
that would be installed is designed to minimize noise and that indirect lighting standards would be used.
Staff recommended approval with the noise and lighting abatement as conditions.
The Commissioners were concerned that the car wash would target more the surrounding
neighborhood, which would defeat the C-N definition.
Chairman Massey opened the public hearing.
