Item: Discussion and possible action on a preliminary plat for the Autumn
Chase Subdivision consisting of 22 lots on 8.353 acres (PP) located on the
proposed Cornell Drive between Manuel and Brentwood Drive. (02-00500168)
Applicant: Ed McDow, P.E., for SI Group, LP.
Staff Recommendations: Staff recommends approval of the Preliminary Plat
with Staff Comments # 2.
Item Summary: The applicant is requesting preliminary plat approval to allow for
duplex and multi-family development. The property east of Cornell is zoned R-2
Duplex Residential and west of Cornell is zoned R-5 Apartment Medium Density.
The plat consist of 22 lots, 14 of the lots will be located on the proposed Purdue
Drive, a residential street and 7 of the lots will be located along Cornell Drive
which is classified as a minor collector.
The Planning and Zoning Commission and the City Council recently amended
the Thoroughfare Plan by reducing the classification of Cornell Drive from a
Major Collector to a Minor Collector.
City staff recommends that the Commission limit the number of residential
driveways on collectors where necessary. This plat would create 7 additional
drives onto Cornell. The Subdivision Regulations grant the Commission the right
to limit drives in such cases. Numerous duplex lots on Cornell south of this plat
already access Cornell directly. There is an existing driveway to Troy
Subdivision Lot 1, Block 1, being College Park/The Ridge Apartments (192
units). The lots shown fronting Cornell must provide side or rear parking, due to
the fact that they are providing less than 70-ft frontage. Staff recommends the
following modifications to the plat: (Staff Comments #2)
• One access easement on Lot 22 to provide a single access point for
Lots 20, 21 and 22 and a rear access easement on Lot 21 to provide
access from Lot 22 to Lot 20.
• One access easement on and through Lots 15 and 16 to provide a
single access point for Lots 15, 16 and 17.
• One access easement on Lots 18 and 19.
• Please label detention lot as Lot 22.
Comprehensive Plan Considerations: The plat is in compliance with the use
and population density called for on the Land Use Plan and is in compliance with
the Thoroughfare Plan.
Item Background: The subject property was annexed in 1969 and has been
zoned R-5 Apartment/Medium Density since the time of annexation.
Budgetary & Financial Summary: OP may be requested by the Applicant for
construction of Cornell Drive.
Commission Action Options: The Commission has final authority over the
preliminary plat. The options regarding the preliminary plat are:
■ Approval with conditions;
■ Approval as submitted;
■ Denial;
■ Defer action only at applicant's request; or,

Street(s) required for plat: The construction of Cornell Drive is required in order

Streets/Access: Due to the constraints of this particular piece of property and
the Thoroughfare Plan, lots along Cornell need access from Cornell. However,
access can be limited such that each lot does not get an individual curb cut.
Please see excerpt from Subdivision Regulations below.
8-G.8 Principal Streets on Master Plan
The Planning Commission may require that, where practical, residential lots
adjacent to arterial and collector [streets] be platted or restricted so as to prevent
driveways opening into such streets.
Duplex lots that are platted with 60-ft frontage, or less than 70-ft must provide
parking in the rear or on the side, see Note (E) from Table A, Zoning Ordinance
below. Lots fronting Cornell do not meet the 70-ft lot width requirement.
Note E - The minimum lot width for duplex dwelling may be reduced to 30 ft./DU
when all required off-street parking is provided in the rear or side yard.

STAFF REPORT
Project Manager: Jennifer Reeves Date: 10-07-02
Email: jreeves@ci.college-station.tx.us
Item: Discussion and possible action on a preliminary plat for the Autumn
Chase Subdivision consisting of 22 lots on 8.353 acres (PP) located on the
proposed Cornell Drive between Manuel and Brentwood Drive. (02-00500168)
Applicant: Ed McDow, P.E., for SI Group, LP.
Staff Recommendations: Staff recommends approval of the Preliminary Plat
with Staff Comments # 2.
Item Summary: The applicant is requesting preliminary plat approval to allow for
duplex and multi-family development. The property east of Cornell is zoned R-2
Duplex Residential and west of Cornell is zoned R-5 Apartment Medium Density.
The plat consist of 22 lots, 14 of the lots will be located on the proposed Purdue
Drive, a residential street and 7 of the lots will be located along Cornell Drive
which is classified as a minor collector.
The Planning and Zoning Commission and the City Council recently amended
the Thoroughfare Plan by reducing the classification of Cornell Drive from a
Major Collector to a Minor Collector.
City staff recommends that the Commission limit the number of residential
driveways on collectors where necessary. This plat would create 7 additional
drives onto Cornell. The Subdivision Regulations grant the Commission the right
to limit drives in such cases. Numerous duplex lots on Cornell south of this plat
already access Cornell directly. There is an existing driveway to Troy
Subdivision Lot 1, Block 1, being College Park/The Ridge Apartments (192
units). The lots shown fronting Cornell must provide side or rear parking, due to
the fact that they are providing less than 70-ft frontage. Staff recommends the
following modifications to the plat: (Staff Comments #2)
• One access easement on Lot 22 to provide a single access point for
Lots 20, 21 and 22 and a rear access easement on Lot 21 to provide
access from Lot 22 to Lot 20.
• One access easement on and through Lots 15 and 16 to provide a
single access point for Lots 15, 16 and 17.
• One access easement on Lots 18 and 19.
• Please label detention lot as Lot 22.
Comprehensive Plan Considerations: The plat is in compliance with the use
and population density called for on the Land Use Plan and is in compliance with
the Thoroughfare Plan.
Item Background: The subject property was annexed in 1969 and has been
zoned R-5 Apartment/Medium Density since the time of annexation.
Budgetary & Financial Summary: OP may be requested by the Applicant for
construction of Cornell Drive.
Commission Action Options: The Commission has final authority over the
preliminary plat. The options regarding the preliminary plat are:
■ Approval with conditions;
■ Approval as submitted;
■ Denial;
■ Defer action only at applicant's request; or,
■ Table only at applicant's request.

8-G.8 Principal Streets on Master Plan
The Planning Commission may require that, where practical, residential lots
adjacent to arterial and collector [streets] be platted or restricted so as to prevent
driveways opening into such streets.
Duplex lots that are platted with 60-ft frontage, or less than 70-ft must provide
parking in the rear or on the side, see Note (E) from Table A, Zoning Ordinance
below. Lots fronting Cornell do not meet the 70-ft lot width requirement.
Note E - The minimum lot width for duplex dwelling may be reduced to 30 ft./DU
when all required off-street parking is provided in the rear or side yard.
Off-site Easements required for plat: None known at this time.

Flood Plain: None.
Oversize request: See Budgetary and Financial Summary Section.
Impact Fees: None.
