To Whom It May Concern:
The City Council of the City of College Station will be asked to consider abandoning a sanitary
sewer easement through Lot 2 of West Wolf Pen Creek subdivision. The Council's policy is to
notify all property owners within 1000 feet of the abandonment, whether or not these properties
are directly affected by the action.
The fragment of the sanitary sewer within the easement has been abandoned by the City for some
years. It is no longer connected to the rest of the sewer system or to any customer service.
Every property which could possibly be served by a sewer in this easement is already served by
other lines of higher capacity. This unused fragment of sewer is constructed of materials which
are no longer acceptable by the City for new construction.
There is no public record of the easement itself. It is "proscriptive ", presumed to exist because
the remains of the sewer are found there. Other utilities crossing this lot are in their own clearly
defined, properly recorded public easements which are not affected by this action.
Our client is interested in having the easement formally abandoned so that he may put his property
to use without potential question of his title to this portion of his lot.
Should you wish to consent or to object to this abandonment, please contact :

The Commissioners discussed the actual "vision" for the corridor and felt that the master plan was for
retail and entertainment uses with the properties at the two ends of the district acting as entrances and
focal points for the corridor. The Commission felt that a church would be inconsistent with this vision.
The recently adopted revised master plan shows this property for commercial land uses. The
Commission also felt that this use at this location could have a detrimental impact on adjacent properties
in the WPi; district because of additional restrictions that would be imposed on these properties. These
additional restrictions, pertaining to the sale of alcohol, would be imposed on properties that are
currently permitted for certain uses that may sell alcohol. The Commission also felt that this use could
have a detrimental impact on properties in general in the corridor because of the tax increment- financing
district that was created for this particular corridor. Additional tax revenue to enhance the district
would not be available from this property if used for any tax- exempt purpose.
Commissioner Garner expressed concern with safety for the day care because of the shared access.
Chairman Massey called for the vote and the motion to deny the request passed unopposed (7 -0).
AGENDA ITEM NO. 3: Establishment of parking requirements for an auto detailing facility
located at 1814 Graham Road. (99 -804)
City Planner Kee presented the item and explained that the applicant was requesting to continue use of
an existing site and to provide a total of 12 parking spaces (4 indoor and 8 outdoor), which are
currently supplied on site. The building and an associated parking pad were annexed into the city in
1983 and the site was zoned C -2 four years later to allow continuation of the commercial- industrial
corner. The applicant has recently begun operating an auto detailing business at the site and had been
discussing whether or not additional parking would be required. The applicant is using a maximum of 4
indoor parking spaces and 2 outdoor parking spaces. Therefore, the total usage is currently less than
the 12 spaces provided on -site. It seems that there is substantially less of a parking demand for a
detailing business than for an auto service use (the most similar use in the Zoning Ordinance) which
would require parking substantially in excess of the applicant's actual parking demand. The difference
is likely due to less time and expense being involved for the average car at a detailing business. Staff
recommended approval of a parking ratio of 2 outdoor spaces for every service bay for auto detailing
business. Ms. Kee explained to the Commission that they could approve a requirement for the entire
use classification or for this site only.
Mr. Richard Elliott, owner and applicant, explained that he usually only accepts vehicles by appointment
only; with the average being 5 or 6 cars per day. He said that he was very comfortable with the existing
parking. He said that he currently has one other employee with the possibility of 2 more in the future
He explained that he only stores vehicles overnight, but this is not common. He explained that he
offered pick -up and delivery of vehicles.
Mr. Benito Flores - Meath, approached the Commission and said that he was in support of the request,
but asked the Commission to consider extending the use classification to include auto - tinting business
since they are similar.
Commissioner Rife moved to approve the request for 2 outdoor spaces for every service bay, for this
site only. Commissioner Parker seconded the motion, which passed unopposed (7 -0).
