From: Glenn Brown To: Alan Gibbs; Harvey Cargill; Mark Smith; Roxanne Nemcik Date: 11/2/2004 11:11:28 AM Subject: Re: Texas World Speedway Jennifer Reeves; Joey Dunn; John Woody; Kim Foutz; Alan, Regarding point #1, 1 am only aware of one contract that we have entered into with Wellborn. In that case, the customers are actually ours, and the contract provides that Wellborn lines bring the water to our customers. Anyway, the point I'm making is that it is not common practice for Wellborn to provide any service in our CCN. Thanks for all of your work on this, and hang in there. Glenn Glenn D. Brown Assistant City Manager City of College Station PO Box 9960 College Station, TX 77842 979 764 -3510 gbrown @cstx.gov >>> Alan Gibbs 11/2/2004 10:47:24 AM >>> All, Again, this Thursday the subject Preliminary Plat is on P &Z's agenda. Staff is recommending denial (Staff Report attached) as the applicant requests to create new lots and serve with Wellborn water within our CCN. This plat includes the lots for ARQ and HTRI and has been forwarded to them as well. Based on a phone conversation with Dick Conole, he intends to speak at the meeting and will likely raise several issues such as: the City changing positions on Wellborn Water Supply serving in our CCN and fire flows, a request to allow Wellborn to serve, and the City's recent upgrading of the line from Venture Dr to the Racetrack area. My intent is to inform the P &Z Commissioners primarily in workshop that: 1. In the past the City (Council ?) has entered into agreements with Wellborn to allow them to serve within our CCN until the time that the City line is extended such that service can be switched over. Due to recent discussions with Wellborn, the City will not enter into such agreements any longer. 2. The Council also amended the Subdivision Ordinance on August 9, 2004 to require fire flows in the ETJ with no variance procedure. Similarly, the Novemver 13, 2003 Council Resolution 11 -13- 2003 -9.17 states that annezation should be required as well. The motivation of these actions was to promote development within the city limits and development conflicts in the ETJ were intended. 3. (1 am requesting more details of the recent line upgrade from John Woody.) There is approximately 8000 feet of 8" water from Venture Drive and about feet of 6 ". For extension of the line, meeting fire t flows and the guidelines would at a minimum require at the 6" be replaced with an 8 ". 4. The Council would be the body to direct further discussion of items 1 and 2. Due to the sensitivity of the issues, I would appreciate any input. Alan P. Gibbs, P.E. Sr. Asst. City Engineer - Development Public Works Department From: Mark Smith To: Alan Gibbs; Edwin Savage; John Woody Date: 11/2/2004 11:23:31 AM Subject: Re: Fwd: Fire hydrant at the Tx World Speedway My understanding of this situation is that the because fire flow requirement was not met we required that the building be sprinkled. This was an option that was available before the fire flow amendment was implemented. Mark Smith Director of Public Works 979 - 764 -3690 >>> Alan Gibbs 11/2/2004 11:16:06 AM >>> FYI - here is an email from Kim with some info on the 6" line and hydrant. >>> Kim Foutz 10/28/2004 3:07:01 PM >>> As I understand it, there has been a question raised of whether a fire hydrant had been previously installed at the Race Track. Attached please find a letter that I sent in May 1999 to the Research Valley Partnership requesting funding for water improvements for Kristen Distributing. As you will see, a fire hydrant was part of the water project. The City of CS would have installed the hydrant either by contract or its own crews at that time. Please let me know if you need additional information and I will spend more time on it if needed. CC: Bob Mosley; Glenn Brown; Joey Dunn; Kim Foutz; Roxanne Nemcik
