STAFF REPORT Project Manager: Alan Gibbs, Development Engineer Date: October 29, 2004 Email: agibbs @cstx.gov Item: Consideration, discussion and possible action on a Preliminary Plat for the Texas World Speedway property, consisting of 9 tracts on 604.639 acres, generally located at along the east side of State Highway 6, just north of the intersection of Peach Creek Cut -Off Road and State Highway 6. Applicant: Martin L. Riley, Jr., Agent for Raceway Ltd. Partnership, Property Owner Staff Recommendations: Staff recommends denial of the Preliminary Plat because the plat does not meet the minimum requirements under the City's subdivision ordinance due to the water supply issue as follows. 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 is prohibited by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) from serving development or property within the City's certificated service area (CCN) which gives the City the exclusive right to serve these properties with water. Therefore, without the City's written consent and contract Wellborn cannot serve this property. However, the City will not be opting to pursue a contract with Wellborn Water Supply. 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. So this subdivision will require the developer to extend the City's water infrastructure under the City's current extension policies and accordingly to meet this fire flow requirement. No variance from this requirement is afforded under the ordinance. The proposed extension of the City's water infrastructure must be depicted on the Preliminary Plat which has not been done. ETJ Plats - Brazos County's comments and recommendations: Item Summary: This item is for consideration of a Preliminary Plat of the Texas World Speedway property in the City's Extra - Territorial Jurisdiction (ETJ), which includes approximately 605 acres. This property is bound by the City limits of College Station to the north, and by State Highway 6 and Peach Creek Cut -Off Road to the south. This Plat will revise the Preliminary Plat approved on January 15, 2004. Comprehensive Plan Considerations: The Land Use Plan shows the proposed use for this property as Single - Family Residential Low Density, but is not zoned since the property is located outside of the City limits. The Thoroughfare Plan designates State Highway 6 is a Freeway, Peach Creek Cut -Off Road as a Major Collector, and Pipeline Road as a Minor Collector. An unnamed Major Collector and an unnamed Minor Arterial are also shown on the Thoroughfare Plan to traverse this property. Item Background: A Preliminary Plat of the property was approved in January 2004 and several lots within this subdivision have been Final Platted. A large master - planned community known as Animate Habitat is planned to the north of the subject property. Animate Habitat has submitted application for Thoroughfare Plan amendments that may affect the location of future thoroughfares on the subject property. Budgetary & Financial Summary: N/A Related Advisory Board Recommendations: N/A Commission Action Options: The Commission has final authority over the Preliminary Plat. The options regarding the Plat are: ■ Approval ■ Denial Supporting Materials: 1. Location Map 2. Application 3. Copy of Preliminary Plat 4.

Access driveways to the SH 6 East Frontage Road for Tracts 7 — 10 must meet TxDOT's "Regulations for Access Driveways to State Highways ". Access regulations are primarily based on posted speed limits and distances between proposed and adjacent access points. For posted speed limits of 50 mph or greater a spacing of 425' between driveways is required, which may require shared / joint access. In addition access in the vicinity of an entrance ramp will be a design consideration.
