Re: LGL Subdivision — Water Service
Dear Chris,
City of College Station staff from several departments have met in regard to the subject
site to discuss the issue of water service requirements. This letter is to state the City's
position and hopefully clear any confusion.
As you are aware, this subdivision is within the Extra - Territorial Jurisdiction (ETJ) of the
City of College Station as well as within the City's water certificated area, Certificate of
Convenience and Necessity (CCN). Although there is a Wellborn waterline along the
frontage of this tract at Peach Creek Cutoff Road, Wellborn Water Supply cannot serve
any development within the City's CCN without the City's written consent and contract.
With no apparent notation of how water would be supplied on the Preliminary Plat
(Texas World Speedway) or the Final Plat, and due to the adequate sizing of the tract,
City staff concluded that potable water would be provided by an on -site water well.
Additionally, the Subdivision Regulations were amended at the August 9, 2004 Council
Meeting. The amendment, 13 -D, requires that all "new" subdivisions within the College
Station and its Extra Territorial Jurisdiction (ETJ) be serviced with water in accordance
with City standards including fire flow requirements in both the International Fire Code
and the Bryan/College Station Unified Design Guidelines and Technical Specifications.
Although this does not directly relate to the LGL Subdivision as it has been platted, it
should be noted that any new subdivisions within the City's CCN would require the
City's water infrastructure to be extended under the City's extension policies and
accordingly to meet this fire flow requirement. Annexation will also commonly be
required in accordance with Council Resolution 11 -13- 2003 -9.17.
In conclusion, the potable water service to the LGL property cannot be served by
Wellborn Water Supply as the City will not be opting to pursue a contract with Wellborn
Home of Texas A &M University
Home of the George Bush Presidential Library and Museum
Water Supply. The two available options are an on -site water well or extending the City
water line in accordance with City standards and guidelines.
As always, please do not hesitate to contact me to discuss this further. I can be reached at
(979) 764 -3570.
