1. Need to rename Mileham Court as this name is too similar to Milam Ave in College
Station.
2. To justify the meritorious modifications in this section of Castlegate, please note
what amenities will be provided.
3. Since the property has already been rezoned, please correct Note #3.
4. Please identify the minimum lot area for this section.

1. Please connect dead -end water mains. College Station Utilities has asked
Development Review to hold dead -ends on the public water supply system to a
minimum, as per TNRCC 290.44.(d).(6). Please consider this in future designs.
2. There are no drainage appurtenances on Mileham Court. Rainfall runoff should be
transported under Norham Drive and not through the intersection.
3. It appears that only the "east- west" portion of Colchester is a cul -de -sac. Please
include sidewalk on one side of the street to the cul -de -sac.

Castlegate Subdivision, Section 10
Response to Staff Review Comments No. 1
Planning:
1. Mileham Court has been renamed to Drogo Court.
2. Castlegate Section 10 shares some amenities with the other sections of the
Castlegate Subdivision. These include the neighborhood park with all of its
park improvements, the park at the subdivision entrance and the concrete
pathway provided in Sections I thru 4. A 5 -acre park with a lake will be
located south of the intersection of Castlegate Drive and Victoria Avenue.
This park area will be included on the plat of Castlegate, Section 7. A
greenway area of approximately 5 acres is proposed in the future development
of Castlegate. This area will extend from Castlegate Drive to the future State
Highway 40. Pedestrian access to these amenities from Section 10 will be by
the sidewalks along Victoria Avenue and the concrete pathway along
Castlegate Drive. Also, the right -of -way width of Castlegate Drive has been
increased from 60 feet to 70 feet to allow for more grass area between the
street and residential lots.
3. Note #3 has been corrected.
4. The minimum lot size of 6,000 square feet has been noted on the plat.
Note: Lots 84 -87 and Lots 90 -93 (Block 2) did not have a minimum 50' lot width
at the 20' front setback line. These lots, as well as Lots 88 -89 & 94 -97, were
adjusted in order to provide a 50' lot width at the front setback line.
Engineering:
1. Dead -end water mains along the cul -de -sac streets are not going to be
connected; however, we have added blow -off valve assemblies at the ends of
each of these lines on these streets. I feel that this complies with TNRCC
290.44.(d).(6).
2. According to our depth calculations, drainage inlets on Drogo ( Mileham)
Court are not required, since the depth of flow in the gutter does not exceed
5 ". The runoff going through the Norham Drive intersection will be in valley
gutters. The depth of flow in these valley gutters will be less than the depth of
flow along the curb.
3. We consider all of Colchester Court after its intersection with Norham Drive
to be a cul -de -sac street; therefore sidewalks on this portion of the street are
not required.
Electrical:
All Electrical comments have been addressed.
