Planning and Zoning Commission
CITY OF COLLEGE STATION, TEXAS
February 5, 2004
11. Consideration, discussion, and possible action on:
1) A variance request to Section 8 -G.6 of the Subdivision
Regulations concerning the number of lots on a cul -de-
sac and
2) A Preliminary Plat for the Villas of Harvey consisting of
578 lots on 113 acres generally located near the
northwestern corner of SH 30 and FM 158. (03 -281)
Graduate Civil Engineer Thompson presented the Staff Report.
Mr. Thompson explained that because each housing unit is
proposed for an individually platted lot, the allowable number of
lots on a cul -de -sac is being exceeded. He stated that if the
units were platted on joint lots, as is typical of duplexes, a
variance would not be necessary. He pointed out other features
of the development that has been approved by the Design
Review Board, including that of a decorative main entry with
water features, contingent upon approval of the design by the
Army Corps of Engineers. Mr. Thompson added that a new
alignment was configured and pointed out access -ways and
sidewalks. There was further discussion regarding current and
future ingress and egress, park land and open space.
Commissioner Davis motioned to approve the variance request
and was seconded by Commissioner Reynolds. The vote was 5-
0. The motion carried.
FOR: Shafer, Trapani, Davis, Reynolds and Hall.
AGAINST: None.
ABSENT: Williams and White.
Commissioner Trapani motioned to approve the preliminary plat.
Commissioner Davis seconded the motion, which carried by a
vote of 5 -0.
FOR: Shafer, Trapani, Davis, Reynolds and Hall.
AGAINST: None.
