the main entrance and an emergency access is currently under construction.
Commissioner Trapani motioned for approval, which was seconded by Commissioner
Williams. The motion carried 4 -0 -1 (Chairman Floyd abstained).
3.3 Rock Prairie /Greens Prairie Planning Study. (02 -52)
City Planner Kee stated that the public hearing for this item was held at the April 4,
2002 Planning Zoning Commission meeting where the Commission voted to table the
item at that time. Further discussion took place at the Workshop Meeting held earlier
this evening. She explained that the City Council discussed the item at their last
workshop but took no formal action on increasing the amount of commercial traffic at
the corner of Rock Prairie and State Highway 6. However, an alternative use for the
College Station Independent School District sight was discussed and the Council
decided that this property would be more appropriately used for office use. This item
will go before City Council once more. Ms. Kee reported that the Commission chose to
take action on this item during the Regular meeting rather than the Workshop meeting.
Commissioner Hawthorne motioned to approve the Planning Study with the CSISD
sight adjustment per City Council. Commissioner Williams seconded the motion. The
motion carried 5 -0.
