Please revise Note 4 to state only Tract 2. 2. Please remove the proposed ROW widths from Sheet 2 & 3 and add the thoroughfare classification as per the City of College Station Thoroughfare Plan. 3. Please revise the proposed ROW dedication for Cherokee Road. In the ETJ, the County requires 100' ROW width for roads designated as thoroughfares and/or constructed as Rural Collectors. 4. Please note that at the time of preliminary plat a variance/waiver would need to be sought for a street projection into the 102-acre property (Wiseman tract) to the west. Please provide the projection with this Master Plan or acknowledge that for the proposed development would need that granted by the Planning & Zoning Commission with the preliminary plat. This comment in no way removes the potential that other variances/ waivers may also be necessary after a preliminary plat is submitted and reviewed for compliance with the Subdivision Regulations. Reviewed by: Jason Schubert Date: January 30, 2008 NOTE: Any changes made to the plans, that have not been requested by the City of College Station, must be explained in your next transmittal letter and "bubbled" on your plans.

OF PAGES INCLUDING COVER: CS Planning & Dev Services FAX NUMBER: PHONE NUMBER: RE: Partners in Habitat Preservation Tract 2 - Master Plan ❑ URGENT ❑ FOR REVIEW ❑ PLEASE COMMENT ❑ PLEASE REPLY ❑ PLEASE RECYCLE NOTES/COMMENTS: Jason, Attached are the following: • Response to Staff Comments ~Z P • 1 - 24"x36" copy of the revised Master Plan • 19 -11 "x17" copies of the revised Master Plan This should satisfy the requirements to place this Master Plan on the Feb. 7t' P&Z Agenda. Let me know if you need further information. Thanks, Travis ARTNERS IN HABITAT PRESERVATION -MASTER PLAN (TRACT 2) RESPONSE TO STAFF REVIEW COMMENTS PLANNING 1. See attached revised Master Plan. 2. See attached revised Master Plan. 3. Based on a conversation with Gary Arnold (Brazos County Road & Bridge) on January 29, 2008, Brazos County will accept an 80' right-of-way along Cherokee Road. Right-of-way dedication and negotiations will be conducted at the time of platting and roadway design. 4. The developer believes that the intent of neighborhood "connectivity" is achieved by the roadway layout being submitted with this Master Plan. The Wiseman Tract has options for connectivity to major roadways via direct access to the Highway 6 access road as well as "preliminary and conceptual" access to the proposed future extension of Mesa Verde Drive to Highway 6. The developer believes that creating conditions of through traffic internally to their development would hinder neighborhood quality. The developer disagrees with the proposed connection to the adjacent Wiseman Tract. Formally, the developer is not accepting the need for a Variance but is willing to revisit this situation with staff, and discuss their concerns, at the time of preliminary plat submittal. 1/29/2008 Page 1 of 1
