The Preliminary Plat must show and provide for the construction of Appomattox per the Thoroughfare Plan and the approved Master Plan. It can not be shown as a Reserve tract on this property. 2. Due to the number of easements that need to be abandoned by City Council approval, staff may recommend for approval of the Preliminary Plat contingent on easements being abandoned prior to Final Plat approval. The critical easements are the ones that diminish the buildable area of the encumbered lot to less than minimum. For a corner lot this may be 1512.5 sqft and 1925 sqft for non-corner lots. 3. You have two "Block 2, Phase 3" areas labeled on the plat. (some of the following comments may be confusing due to this...) 4. A portion of the existing right-of-way that is Horse Haven Lane will need to be abandoned before Lots 13, 14, 15, 16, Block 2, Phase 3 and Lots 2, 3, 4, Block 2, Phase 3 can be platted. 5. Lot 9, Block 1, Phase 2 may need to be included in a later phase since the electrical easement traversing the property cannot be abandoned until service to the Kolbe property is re-routed. The existing location of the easement on the property may not provide sufficient buildable area. Please verify. 6. Lot 10, Block 1, Phase 2 is not to be platted without access. You can either include the lot in Phase 3 or include Horse Shoe Drive (with a temporary turn-around) in Phase 2. 7. If any portion of Horseshoe Drive is constructed, a temporary turn-around may be required. 8. It looks as if you are not including Lot 17, Block 2, Phase 3 (lot with the existing home on it) in this plat. There is a dark line surrounding this property. This lot must be platted with the rest of the subdivision. 9. Please show the buildable area of Lot 13, Block 3, Phase 3 to confirm that it will be sufficient. 10. The "elbow" shown on the southeastern portion of the property (at lots 20 & 21) must meet fire access standards and design speed. 11. FYI: the previous plat was approved with the condition that access was provided through the greenway area to the future bikeway system. 12. FYI: the utilities are not approved as shown. All utilities to be confirmed with the required engineering reports. NOTE: Any changes made to the plans, that have not been requested by the City of College Station, must be explained in your next transmittal letter and "bubbled" on your plans. Any additional changes on these plans that have not been pointed out to the City, will constitute a completely new review. 2of3 13. Please add a note to the plat that all existing structures on the property are to be removed (except the "Existing House to Remain"). 14. Sanitary sewer in Phase 2 appears to need additional easement. 15. No dead-end water lines are allowed, except as per Design Guidelines. 16. The proposed "Common Area" is not in compliance with the approved Master Plan. The Master Plan showed these areas to be "Greenway." Please show limits of development per approved Master Plan. 17. Please label the triangular piece of property shown at the bottom of the page. The only verbiage currently on this property is "Phase Three." This area was also shown as "Greenway" on the approved Master Plan. Please show limits of development per approved Master Plan. 18. Please show all floodplain on the plat.

STAFF REPORT Project Manager: Jennifer Prochazka, Staff Planner Date: November 8, 2004 Email: jrochazka@cstx.gov Item: Consideration, discussion, and possible action on a revised Preliminary Plat for Horse Haven Estates Phase II, consisting of 63 lots on 14.58 acres, generally located at Earl Rudder Freeway and Horse Haven Lane. Applicant: Greg Taggart, Municipal Development Group, agent for owner Staff Recommendations: Staff recommends approval of the Preliminary Plat with the condition that all Staff Review Comments No.3 are addressed, the Preliminary Plat revised accordingly. Item Summary: This item is for consideration of a revised Preliminary Plat in preparation for residential development. The applicant is proposing 63 R-1 Single Family Residential lots and several reserve tracts. Approval of this item will replace the Preliminary Plat, showing 58 lots, approved for the property on September 2, 2004. The previous Plat was approved with the condition that public connection be made to the adjoining greenway. The applicant has shown access to the greenway to the south and to the east. The access easements provided on the plan should be Public Access Easements. Staff is concerned about the potential fencing of these access points as currently shown on the Plat. The Preliminary plat is in compliance with the approved Master Plan and the Subdivision Regulations. Comprehensive Plan Considerations: The Land Use Plan designates the majority of this property as Single-Family Residential Medium Density and Floodplain / Streams. The 100-year floodplain is shown as proposed greenway on the Preliminary Plat. Appomattox is shown as a minor collector on the Thoroughfare Plan. The applicant has provided sufficient right-of-way for the extension of Appomattox to the northern property. While discussions of whether Appomattox should stay on the plan as a minor collector are on-going, this plat is meeting the current Thoroughfare Plan. Item Background: The property was annexed in 1977 and zoned A-O at that time. The property was rezoned to R-1 Single Family Residential earlier this year. A Master Plan of this property and the surrounding area was also approved earlier this year. In addition, numerous illegal subdivisions of land have occurred over the years. Budgetary & Financial Summary: N/A Related Advisory Board Recommendations: The Parks Board recommended fee in lieu of land dedication with the condition that a pedestrian access way is provided for the residents of Horse Haven Estates to access Windwood Park. This will either be accomplished by way of pedestrian walk way at the end of Horse Shoe Drive in Phase III of the development or with the extension of Appomattox. Commission Action Options: The Commission has final authority over the Preliminary Plat. The options are: ■ Approval ■ Denial Supporting Materials: 1. Location Map 2. Aerial 3. Application 4.

Repeat Comment: Lot 13, Block 3, Phase 3 is required to have a minimum buildable area due to its irregular shape. As shown, the buildable area of is less than the minimum required when the 15' drainage easement is provided for the proposed storm sewer.
