Project: ACADEMY (RZ)-REZONING (0-225)
1. This rezoning proposal appears to be requesting the land use and the
general layout of the site - a concept plan with no alternatives to the City's
standard site planning requirements being sought. The exception to that
is the landscaping/streetscaping which is actually being proposed to
exceed the standard requirements by approximately 200%.
2. The landscaping/streetscaping plan calculations do need some minor
modifications to reflect standard requirements.
a. The site area used for calculations should be just the Academy
site. (exclude the area to be dedicated for the street and for the
greenway)
b. Include the calculations for the additional points required for
streetscaping. (Remember that streetscaping has 2 components
- required street trees and additional landscaping points.)
c. 3.5 in. cal. trees count for 300 pts.

Ms. Jessica Jimmerson
College Station City Planner
Developmental Services
College Station, Texas
Dear Ms. Jinuuerson,
I am writing you, because I still have serious concerns abou ie proposed method of developing
Burt Hernanin's tract I for Academy Sports. I attended the two meetings with Academy representatives at
City Hall. I was a member of the East Bypass Small Area Citizen Plam-ting Team, and I am now a
member of the planning team working on the East Bypass Overlay District. I also live in the Windwood
neighborhood.
This will be the first development proposed after the East Bypass Small Area Action Plan was
approved. Neighborhood stores are one of the preferred land uses in that pain, but big box retail
developments are not. The building size is to be 55,000 square feet, and about 1/3 of the building is in the
floodplain. Locating the store in the floodplain directly conflicts with two actions in the plan that call for
implementing the Greenways Master Plan and preserving the floodplains for water control.
In the current layout the building is at the back of the property and parking is in the front. If the
building could be moved closer to the frontage road, it would not be in the floodplain or it would be there
to a lesser degree. The number of parking spaces could be lowered to fit the normal non-holiday usage of
the parking lot. This would give more space for the new location of the building. Academy is to be
comnnended for offering to give the city the floodplain land on the south side of the development.
Another objective of the Bypass plan was to address urban design issues and insure visual
quality. Aspects of visual quality include height, signage, building materials, color, and landscaping. In
the presentation, the building was said to be 42 feet tall at the center front, but the actual roof height was
to be from 27 to 22 feet tall. Limiting the height to 2 '/z stories (not 4 stories in front) would make this
building similar to other buildings on the east side of the Bypass. If the building sign near the road is 35
ft. tail, drivers will be able to see the store's location without needing the extra building center height to
get attention.
While the Academy representatives agreed to make some color changes to give more earth tones
instead of white for the building, their construction material is to remain the same. A building more like
the Barnes and Noble bookstore on Texas Avenue or the new Kroger store on Rock Prairie Road would be
better quality and would set the stage for better developments all along the East Bypass. Landscaping was
discussed at the meeting as a concern. The Academy representatives agreed to use more and larger trees
and bushes in their landscape plan. I support the use of a greater number of larger or more mature plants.
Size and maturity will make the landscaping much more effective more quickly.
Lighting is a concern to neighbors and to the planning team. Academy representatives agreed, I
believe, to have their lighting recessed and limited to their site. The parking lot lights should be limited in
height and should be recessed in the fixture, so that their impact outside of the lot is minimal. Any lights
at the building should also be recessed and should not shine out away from the building. Lights need to
go off before the staff leave in the evening just after 9 p.m. The representatives agreed to turn off the
lights at closing, except for a few security lights. The number, location, and amount of lumens for the
security lights that stay on should be discussed and specified. It is important to remember that the land to
the east is proposed to be AO residential. It will be important that a light and sound buffer is provided
between this business and new and existing homes.
Traffic flow was and is a concern for neighbors in the area. Of particular concern to Windwood is
the proposed connection of Horse Haven Lane, Switch Station Drive, and Appomattox. The Planning and
Zoning members agreed to putting in an emergency gate at the north end of Switch Station Drive. This
would temporarily prevent most of the cut through traffic. There should also be internal sidewalks for
people going from their cars to the building, as well as sidewalks that tie the site to other neighborhoods.
AL 16--
one goal in the area plan is to promote biking and walking, which means that sidewalks and bikeways
need to be included in the design.
Academy has conic to the meetings prepared to discuss issues with the adjacent neighborhoods.
While there are still issues to be resolved, they have begmi this process in a positive manner. I look
forward to seeing improvements in the development of the site plan before the meeting with the Planning
and Zoning Commission.
Sincerely,
Sherry Ellison

Subject: Academy development meeting
As most of you know, Academy Sports is proposing to build a new store on the East Bypass next to the
golf driving range. They will be holding a public meeting for all interested citizens to review their
proposal before they submit their plans to the city for rezoning.
The public meeting is being scheduled for Monday November 27 at 6 p.m. at City Hall. I am not able to
further advertise this meeting, so it is up to your neighborhoods to get the word out to attend this
meeting.
Academy has been very willing to listen to concerns expressed by residents. This is your opportunity to
provide constructive input to Academy so that their development is acceptable in your area.
If you are concerned about development along the east bypass, what it will look like and how it will
impact our community, this is your chance to be involved. Citizen feedback at this meeting will help city
staff determine if the proposed Academy development is addressing the issues in this area.
I hope you can attend and will notify your neighborhoods about this opportunity. If you have any
questions please call me at 764-3570.
Thanks!

Dear Windwood and Raintree Neighbors,
I am writing this letter to let you know a little history of the land that is located between
your subdivisions. Also, I want to inform you that I'm going to let Greg Taggert, my
engineering consultant with the Municipal Development Group (MDG), speak for me in the
meeting with you concerning our revised Master Plan. However, if you have any questions that
you want me to answer personally, please write them down and I will give you written answers
in due time. Hopefully, this will avoid any spur-of-the-moment responses that might lead to
misunderstanding.
Here's a brief history of what has happened to the 149 acres that my wife, Virginia, and
her brother, Mike Thiltgen, inherited in 1990 from their mom, Lydia Boriskie: In 1996, we sold
45 acres of the floodplain to neighbor Charles Jones and 22 acres (Hunter's Creek Stables) to
Carl and Jeanne Kolbe. As a result, Virginia and I bought 41 acres from Mike. That left 38 1/2
acres in the Boriskie Partnership. In 1998, 25 acres ( the golf range) were sold to get us out of
debt. That left 13 1/2 acres in the Partnership. We haven't splurged, but we need to sell some
more of that land to pay our bills.
In the last two years, we've had several people call about buying some of that land.
(Darrell Grein of Raintree fame was one of them). Some of the callers were wanting to build
some apartments. We had a written offer from a fellow who wanted a few acres to put a feed
store on, but we decided to wait. Then, in April of this year, Kathy King called and said that
Academy Sports was looking for a place to build on. By June 16th, we had a contract from
Academy on 11 1/2 of the 13 1/2 acres.
We believe that Academy will be a good neighbor and a valuable asset to our area.
Therefore, we will greatly appreciate your support of this project.
Sincerely,
Burt & Y1rginia Hermann
