ENGINEERING REVIEW
COMMENTS No. 1
1. This driveway permit has been denied. The proposed driveway violates the
Driveway Access Location and Design Policy ordinance and presents safety
concerns due to location and traffic along Texas Avenue. The portion of the
Ordinance, H. (4).(c) that you referenced and addresses corner clearance is for
properties that have no other access. Your access to Holleman precludes
consideration under this section.
According to the Driveway Ordinance, you may appeal the City Engineer's decision.
Please read the following:
(9) Appeals
(a) Appeals of the terms of this section or of decisions of the City Engineer shall
be heard by the Project Review Committee as defined in Section 10, Ordinance
1628, the Zoning Ordinance for the City of College Station, Texas.
(b) An appeal shall be made within thirty (30) days of the date of the notification
of the decision by filing with the City Engineer a notice of appeal specifying the
grounds thereof. The City Engineer shall forthwith transmit to the Project Review
Committee all the papers constituting the record upon which the action appealed
from was taken.
(c) The Project Review Committee may authorize on appeal a variance to the
Driveway Access Location and Design Ordinance when such variance will not be
contrary to the public interest where, owing to unique and special conditions not
normally found in like areas, a strict enforcement of the provisions of the
ordinance by the City Engineer would result in an unnecessary hardship, and so that
the spirit of this ordinance shall be observed and substantial justice done.
Please also note that a favorable appeal by the PRC does not guarantee a permit
issuance by TxDOT.
