Item: Consideration of a Final Plat for Holleman Village Addition Section Two, 5.168
acres located at the southwest intersection of Holleman Drive West and Jones Butler
Road (00-021)
Applicant: George Walker, P.E., Wallace Group
Item Summary: The Final Plat consists of one 4.408 acre lot for the expansion (or
phases two) of the Holleman Village Apartments currently under construction on
Holleman Drive. Five feet of additional right-of-way is being dedicated for both the
Jones-Butler Road extension and Holleman Drive West with this plat. As was done with
Section One in 1999, the previously dedicated 40-feet of right-of-way for the Jones-
Butler Road extension is shown on this Plat for clarity.
The master Preliminary Plat for Woodway Village was approved in October 1976. The
Final Plat for Woodway Village Phase One was approved in February 1977 which
created a 17.42 acre lot
(location of DoubleTree Condominiums) and Holleman Village Addition (location of
phase one of Holleman Village Apartments) were approved out of the Preliminary Plat in
May 1979 and May 1999, respectively. If approved, a 1.216 acre un-platted tract near
the intersection of Holleman Drive West and F.M. 2818 will remain out of the original
preliminary plat.
Item: Consideration of a Final Plat for Holleman Village Addition, 17.074 acres located at 2001
Holleman Drive West, between FM 2818 and Jones-Butler Road. (99-218)
Applicant: Steve Sylliaasen for The Wallace Group.
Item Summary: The purpose of this final plat is to plat the parent tract to prepare 17.074 acres
out of the 27.36 acres for an apartment development. The remaining 10 acres are divided into
three lots -one currently developed as Phase I of the Doubletree condominium site; one a
reserve tract for a future expansion of Doubletree; and one 1.2 acre lot, the use of which will
remain undetermined at this time. The final plat request of 17.074 acres differs from the
preliminary plat request of 16.2 acres due to the Commission condition to include 5' of right-of-
way dedication for Jones-Butler Road.
A portion (40') of the Jones-Butler right-of--way was dedicated with a prior final plat. This final
plat is widened (by 5') the dedication through the property. The other 1/2 of the right-of--way
will come from a 47.27 acre tract owned by Mohawk, Ltd. and a smaller portion (additional 5'
width) will come from property previously dedicated to the City as parkland dedication for
apartments that have already been constructed in this general area.
Item Background: A Master Preliminary Plat for Woodway Village was approved for this
acreage in October 1976. It included a large portion of the acreage contained within the
FM2818, Luther Street and Wellborn Road triangle. Since 1976, pieces of this master
preliminary plat have been final platted far development.
In May 1979, a final plat of Woodway Village Phase One was filed for record which platted a
17.42 acre tract on the southwest corner of Holleman, half of the right-of--way for the future
Jones-Butler and a 19.83 acre tract on the northwest corner of Holleman and the existing Jones-
Butler Road. The 17.42 acres have subsequently been subdivided without benefit of platting and
3.9 acres are now developed as the Doubletree Condominiums. There exists in the Brazos
County Deed Records a condominium plat for Phase One of the Double Tree Condos. This plat
as recorded does not constitute actual platting of land under the Texas Local Government Code
and therefore was not subject to the City's Subdivision Regulations. However, a subdivision of
land did occur either during or after the construction of Double Tree Condos Phase One. This
division was subject to the City's Subdivision Regulations, but no such approval was obtained.
Budgetary & Financial Summary: The applicant's desire is to final plat only the 16.2 acre tract
with half of the additional Jones-Butler right-of--way (for a total of 16.4 acres) and they do not
desire to construct Jones-Butler Road on their site. Rather they have proposed to enter into a
development agreement with the City of College Station to contribute toward the construction
cost of Jones Butler Road only on the 16.42 acre lot. Council will review the development
agreement as a stand alone item.
Staff Recommendations: Staff recommends approval of the Final Plat with the final condition:
1. There be a duly executed development agreement to allow monetary participation rather than
construction of Jones-Butler.
Related Advisory Board Recommendations: N/A
Commission Action Options:
The Commission has final authority over the final plat. The options regarding the final plat are
approval as submitted, approval with conditions, or denial. Defer action or table only at
applicant's request.

INFRASTRUCTURE AND FACILITIES
Water: Water is provided to the area through an 8" waterline along Holleman Drive, a
16" waterline along Southwest Parkway, and (although remote to the preliminary plat)
through an 18" waterline located along the eastern boundary of the abandoned I&GN
Railroad right-of--way. The Water Master Plan completed and adopted as a part of the
Comprehensive Plan shows the connection of the 8" waterline along Holleman, and a
16" waterline along Southwest Parkway, to this 18" waterline along I&GN. An
appropriate location for this connection is along the southernmost property boundary of
this project. The projected size of this connection is a 16" waterline. Applicant is
proposing an oversize participation to extend the 16" waterline along Holleman.
Sewer: Sewer is provided to Lots 1 and 2 from a 15" sanitary sewerline that runs along
the southernmost boundary of Lot 2 and proceeds toward Wellborn Road, where it ties
into the "Christine Lane" sewerline located west of the A&M Consolidated football
field. The city is experiencing capacity problems with this line but a CIP project is
ongoing to correct this situation. Phase 1 of this project has already been completed
and Phase 2 should begin construction in early summer 1999.
Streets: Access to all lots is via Holleman Drive. Holleman Drive is shown on our
thoroughfare plan as a major collector with a 70' right-of--way. It currently has only a
60' right-of--way so with additional platting of the area. A condition of approval for the
preliminary plat was the inclusion of a 5' right-of--way dedication for Jones-Butler
Road. In addition the Commission conditioned a duly executed development
agreement to allow monetary participation rather than construction of Jones-Butler
Road.
A traffic impact analysis (TIA) was completed for the Fairfield development (the 16.2
acre lot) in order to determine the amount of oversize participation the developer can
request for the construction of Jones-Butler. In that analysis, the traffic engineer stated
that the amount of traffic generated by this one lot could be handled by Holleman
Drive and that their development did not create the need for a street along the Jones-
Butler alignment. They acknowledged that Jones-Butler as a thoroughfare will be
necessary for the area for better traffic distribution, but it was not warranted solely by
this development. The TIA states that the additional traffic generated by this site could
be addressed with timing changes to the signal at the Holleman/Wellborn intersection.
Off-site Easements: Offsite easements will be required for drainage and for a waterline
connection.
Drainage: Drainage will be handled individually by each development as part of the
site planning process. Drainage issues will be in accordance with the City Drainage
Ordinance.
Flood Plain: There is no floodplain located on the property.
Oversize request: See Budgetary and Financial Summary Section.
Impact Fees: None.
