This item was removed from the consent agenda by Commissioner Parker. Graduate Engineer Tondre

asked Mr. Tondre explained that the access to the newly divided property does not meet subdivision
regulations. Mr. Tondre explained that this is a re-subdivision which currently exists as three lots. One

approved by the Brazos County Conunissioner'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.
