S. Kapchinski's Subdivision on Park Place. There are no Deed Restrictions recorded for F. S. Kapchinski's Subdivision, so any setback requirements, etc., will be according to the City of College Station ordinance. As we discussed on the phone, the Flood Plain information shown on the Replat is true and correct to the best of our knowledge — there has been no further studies done or amendments to the corresponding F.I.R.M. Map for this area. We have shown all existing improvements for the lots. These lots are currently undeveloped, so the only "improvement" are the adjoining utility services. 1 have attached a letter of request concerning the new lot widths shown on the Replat along with the new Application Form and the revised Plat. If you have any further comments or questions, please feel free to contact me. Sincer y, Louise Fischer CAD Manager I . Br ' i dgette George - Kapchinski sub.

BOX 269 505 CHURCH STREET COLLEGE STATION, TEXAS 77841 Brad Kerr Telephone: Registered Professional (979) 268 -3195 Land Surveyor #4502 (979) 691 -8904 FAX May 20, 2003 TO: Spencer Thompson City of College Station RE: Replat of Kapchinski's Subdivision On behalf of our client, we have submitted a Replat of 3 lots in the F. S. Kapchinski's Subdivision on Park Place in College Station. We are requesting approval of the 5 new lot widths of 52.3 feet. The average lot width for the existing parcels from the northerly boundary of the subdivision on Park Place to 1707 Park Place is currently 64.6 feet. This is based on 39 lots. Please take into consideration that 18 of the 39 lots (46 %) are currently at 52 feet wide or less. Most of the existing lots on the opposite side of Park Place are 52 feet wide. Creating the new lots at 52.3 feet would not create a major density difference from the existing and on -going development of the other lots in this area. Development of these new lots would only help in the upgrade of this area. Thank you for your consideration in this matter. Sincerely, ,� Louise Fischer, CAD Manager Kerr Surveying Kapchinski Subdivision, block 1, commonly known as Park Place, runs between Texas Avenue and Anderson street. Two large multi family apartment projects define the western most border of the block at Anderson, and the eastern boundary is a commercial development consisting of HEB Pantry, Long John Silvers, many smaller businesses and the water tower. Subject Property: 1603 —1607 Park Place, borders the Taos Apartments on the east side. Property owner requests a variance to a portion of. SECTION 18: PLATTING AND REPLATTING WITHIN OLDER SUBDIVISIONS, of the City of College Station's Subdivision Regulations. More specifically, 18 -13.2 Property owner's proposed replat does meet the criteria of the 8500 square foot minimum discussed in 18 -13.2. However, so that the 1.65 acre tract might be utilized to its best and highest use property owner respectfully requests a variance for the portion of 18 -13.2 which pertains to lot widths. Property owner will address SECTION 5: VARIANCES A.1 — A.4, of the City of College Station SUBDIVISION REGULATIONS in the following manner: Property owner respectfully requests that the commission consider granting a variance for the following reason(s): (i) The property owner's proposed replat is compatible on the whole and in keeping with the existing lots on the block. Single family homes to be built will also be of like character in both size and description to the existing homes on the block. a. Eighteen(18) of thirty nine(39) or 46% of the existing lots on the block have current frontage widths of fifty two linear feet or less. Including eleven lots directiv across the street and several more on the same side of the street No less than five of these lots have been developed in the last eighteen months, and two of the lots have structures currently under construction. All of these aforementioned lots have widths which are less than the 52.3 feet which the property owner proposes. (ii) Special circumstance regarding the size of the tract. The property owner's tract of land has an unusual amount of depth and surface area when compared to the existing tracts and lots on the block. The tract is 72,056 sq feet or 1.65 acres of land. a. The western most boundary has a depth of 232 linear feet, while the eastern border measures 327 feet in depth. The proposed replat will provide lots with an average surface area of 14,425 square feet This is 170% of the 8500 square foot minimum, and significantly larger than the eleven 52 foot wide lots directly across the street. (iii) For the enjoyment of the best and highest use of the property for the property owner, neighborhood and community. Since the 1.65 acre tract is otherwise land locked, this represents the last opportunity for the property to ever be developed. (iv) Architecture. a. The property owner /developer has a history of building single family homes in the immediate area which are in direct keeping with the architectural interests of the Southside Historical District. The improvements made to the replatted property will also be of this architectural vein and will provide tremendous aesthetic value to the block. (please see photos) Summary In summary, the property owner feels that the proposed replat and use of the land is compatible and in keeping with the existing land in the immediate and near bye vicinity. Property owner also feels that the proposed replat will lend itself to the best and highest use of the land, and do so without jeopardizing in any way the integrity, public health, safety or welfare of the properties or property owners in the area. * * * Drainage and other considerations - There is an existing creek which runs behind the property.
