Project: HORSE HAVEN ESTATES (MDP)-MASTER DEVELOPMENT PLAN (0-
165)
This review has been stopped. The following comments are intended to be a
courtesy to the applicant, but do not constitute a full review.
PLANNING
1. It is understood the enlarged white copy of the plan was submitted to
clarify issues too difficult to be seen on the original submittal. This is
appreciated, but it must be mentioned that for the approved Master
Development Plan, all necessary information will need to be on one,
legible plan.
2. It is very important to be able to distinguish subdivision boundary lines,
zoning district boundaries, tract boundaries, and phase lines. To continue
with a full review, these lines must be clearly distinguishable. A note
describing the development of the subdivision is an acceptable alternative
to phase lines.
3. Descriptions of the metes and bounds of the subdivision (which shall close
within accepted land survey standards) are needed.
4. Please include the name of the contiguous subdivision or names of
owners of contiguous parcels of unsubdivided land to the east of the
subject property, and an indication whether or not contiguous properties
are platted.
5. Please show on the plan the existing land use of the property to the east.
6. Please show the intended land uses for the commercial tracts.
7. As tract boundaries are not clear, planned utilities can not be evaluated.
8. Sidewalks will be required on both sides of the minor collector.
9. The pavement width on a 60 ft. ROW minor collector is 38 ft.
10. The pavement width on a 50 ft. ROW urban residential street is 27 ft.
11. Please include a note on the plan that Appomattox Ct. will be paved with
the planned development of the land, or at the request of the City of
College Station, as per the Development Agreement regarding the
property.

LAND MANAGEMENT
1. Horse Haven Lane is ok but will need to change to Horse Haven Court
where it intersects with Horse Haven Circle.
2. Horse Haven Circle will need to be re-named as it resembles Horse Haven
Court too closely. It will also need to be named a Court as it does not
meet the definition of a Circle.

STAFF REPORT
Item: Consideration of a MASTER DEVELOPMENT PLAN for the HORSE
HAVEN ESTATES (MDP), 118.37 acres east of Earl Rudder Freeway between
Switch Station Road and the Raintree Subdivision. (0-165)
Applicant: BURT HERMANN
Item Summary: In the past, the applicant has sold off parts of the original tract
without platting. In 1998, a Master Plan for Horse Haven Estates was developed
so the driving range could be legally sold, reoriented, and developed on Lot 2
(25.07 acres). The plan was passed by the Planning and Zoning Commission
and the City Council, and Lot 2 was final platted in 1998. Since that time, no
further tracts have been platted and the plan has expired (if no action is taken on
a plan for a year, the plan automatically expires).
The new Master Development Plan shows the platted Lot 2 (now proposed as
Tracts 2 and 3), and essentially maintains the same boundaries for Tract 1, but
other tracts have been reconfigured. A portion of the proposed Tract 6 is zoned
R-1 Single Family Residential and the rest of the area encompassed by the plan
is A-O Agricultural Open.
Type of Use Proposed: The proposed zoning for Tracts 1 (12.19 acres) and 2
(13.66 acres), which have frontage on the Earl Rudder Freeway feeder road, is
PDD-B Planned Development District-Business. All other tracts are proposed
R-1 Single Family Residential.
Comprehensive Plan Considerations: The Land Use Plan shows this area to
be Mixed Use. Earl Rudder Freeway is classified as a Freeway and Expressway
on the Thoroughfare Plan. The East Bypass Study shows the land along the
frontage road to be Mixed Use and the lots to interior to be Residential.
Public Works has been notified that the greenway on this property is a level 5
acquisition priority for the City of College Station. The developer plans to pay
fees in lieu of parkland dedication.
Related Advisory Board Recommendations: The Parks Board has not
scheduled for consideration the proposal to pay fees in lieu of parkland
dedication for this project. Dedication or fees will be required at the time of final
platting for any residential lots.

Staff Recommendations: Staff recommends approval of the final plat with the
condition that the attached Staff Review Comments are addressed.
Commission Action Options: The Commission has final authority over the
Master Development Plan. The options regarding the plan are approval as
submitted or denial. Defer action or table only at applicant's request.
Supporting Materials:
1. Location Map
2. Application
3. Staff Review Comments #3
4. Infrastructure and Facilities
5. Copy of Master Development Plan
INFRASTRUCTURE AND FACILITIES
Water: There is an existing 12-inch water line along the east side of the
SH6 frontage road. Water mains to provide service and fire protection to
interior tracts will have to be extended at the time of final platting.
Sewer: There are numerous existing City of College Station sewer lines
running through the tracts on this Master Plan. Service is available from
these lines for all tracts.
Streets: The developer is proposing a minor collector and two urban
residential streets at this time. Appomattox Court, a third urban
residential street will be built upon the City's request as per the
Development Agreement dated March 12, 1998.
Sidewalks: Sidewalks will be required at the time of final platting.
Drainage: The applicant will submit a drainage report at the time of
final platting. Drainage easement locations will be determined with the
drainage report submittal.
Flood Plain: The latest Federal Emergency Management Agency
(FEMA) Flood Insurance Rate Maps show that portions of the
subdivision are located within the Regulatory 100 Year Floodplain.
Specifically, portions of Tracts 1, 5, and 6 are located within the 100-year
floodplain.
NOTIFICATION:
Legal Notice Publication(s): None required
Advertised Commission Hearing Dates(s): 10-19-00

1. The platted tract should be outlined differently than the unplatted areas
(e.g., with a solid line).
2. Show Lot 2 as it is platted (i.e., include the metes and bounds).
3. Please include a metes and bounds estimate of interior tract boundary
locations.
4. Please show the boundary between Raintree and the existing A-O zoning
district to its east.
5. The line across Horse Haven Lane has made that road and Horse Haven
Court their own tract. Please clarify your intentions in this area.
6. Is the "Z" between Tracts 2 and 3 and between 4 and 5 indicating the
owner of one lot also owns the abutting lot? Is it indicating that the lots
share the same zoning? Please clarify. The ownership and zoning
should be easily identified for every proposed tract.
7. Mr. Hermann told me that the cell tower and its fencing would be included
on the plan. Please show its location.

1. Need to add wording "NOT FOR RECORD" after "MASTER
DEVELOPMENT PLAN". Both should be in letters Y2" high.
2. In the metes and bounds description of the property, the description
around the 9.74-acre switch station tract needs to be included.

1. Please close the boundary line over the proposed Appomattox ROW.
2. Please be consistent in the use of boundary lines (dashed vs. solid).
3. Please include an estimate of interior tract boundary locations.
4. Show Lot 2 as it is platted.
5. Please include the missing volume and page numbers.
6. Please show the zoning of Rain Tree and the ownership, zoning, and use
of the 17.83-acre property next to Rain Tree.
7. If Horse Haven Lane is to be a minor collector, the Subdivision
Regulations "Table 1-Street Design Criteria" requires a pavement width
of 38 feet.
8. Even though Horse Haven Lane and Horse Haven Court will be
developed with Tract 1, they should not be shown as part of Tract 1. The
notes regarding the development of these streets are adequate.
9. There is a concern with the northwestern-most area of Tract 5. The PUE
dissects this area into what seems like an undevelopable piece of land.
Why is the line in this area not drawn to the east of the PUE and west of
the existing oil well?
10. Is the "Z" between Tracts 2 and 3 and between 4 and 5 indicating the
owner of one lot also owns the abutting lot?

3. Master Development Plan minimum submittal criteria requires a

within accepted land survey standards. Must be shown on drawing.
4. Need to label floodway.
