Planning and Zoning Commission
CITY OF COLLEGE STATION, TEXAS
September 2, 2004
2.3 Consideration, discussion, and possible action on a
Preliminary Plat for Horse Haven Estates Phase II,
consisting of 58 lots on 16.44 acres, generally located
on the east side of Earl Rudder Freeway, south of State
Highway 30. (04-193)
Graduate Civil Engineer Thompson pointed out the bike
plan utilizing the easement, pointing out that the
Subdivision Regulations speaks about an access-way being
10 feet of platted right-of-way. According to the
Preliminary Plat, the Developer would need to shift lot lines
to accomplish that. Mr. Thompson would like to speak to
the developer to see if he is amicable to doing that.
Commissioner Nichols expressed interests in the
connectivity issues for the area, stating that it would seem
logical for all the residents in that area to be able to hike
and bike through a pedestrian access-way to the future
hike and bikeway along the Gulf State Utilities property.
He assumed the developer might see this as an amenity to
provide access to Lick Creek Park.
Consideration of the conditions and options of the
preliminary plat regarding access-way were discussed.
Commissioner Nichols motioned to approve the preliminary
plat with the recommendation for staff to work with the
developer to provide an access-way that meets the City's
standards for a hike and bike path between the end of one
of the cul-de-sacs and the back property line, ultimately to
connect with the Gulf States Utilities Right-of-Way.
Commissioner Davis seconded the motion. The motion
carried 4-0.
FOR: Shafer, Davis, Fedora, and Nichols.
AGAINST: None.
ABSENT: White, Hooton, and Reynolds.
