STAFF REPORT Project Manager: Jennifer Reeves Date: 05-06-03 Email: jreeves@ci.college-station.tx.us Item: Consideration, discussion, and possible action on a Preliminary Plat (PP) for the Reatta Meadows Subdivision consisting of 161 lots on 38.56 Acres located at 2201 Barron Rd. (03-00500086) Applicant: Joe Gattis, Ash & Brown Engineering Staff Recommendations: Staff recommends approval of the Preliminary Plat as submitted. Item Summary: This item is a Preliminary Plat of 38.56 acres consisting of 161 R-1 Single Family Residential Lots. The subject property has approximately 920 feet of frontage along the south side of Barron Road, which is considered a Minor Arterial, and will eventually have frontage along the future Southern Plantation Street, which is classified as a Minor Collector. The property is bound by undeveloped A-O Agricultural Open to the south and west, to the east is future single family, of Shenandoah Subdivision Phases 8-15, and to the north across Barron Road is the recently developed Westfield Village, a single family PDD-H development. Comprehensive Plan Considerations: The subject property is shown on the Land Use Plan as Single Family Residential (Medium Density), and is shown on the recently approved Master Development Plan as single family residential. Item Background: The subject property was annexed into the College Station City Limits June of 1995. It was included in Phase One of the South College Station Thoroughfare Plan Update. Budgetary & Financial Summary: OP is expected to be requested for water and sewer lines and street construction. Related Advisory Board Recommendations: As part of the Master Development Plan the Parks Board accepted the three-acre parkland dedication in conjunction with the 10.97 acres in the Spring Creek drainage way with the condition that trails in the drainage way be a part of the overall park • development. The Parks Board will review the owner-developed park at the time of design. Commission Action Options: The Commission has final authority over the plat. The options regarding the plat are: ■ Approval with specific physical conditions; • Approval as submitted; • Denial; • Defer action, • or Table Supporting Materials: 1. Location Map 2. Application 3. Infrastructure and Facilities 4. Copy of Preliminary Plat INFRASTRUCTURE AND FACILITIES Water required for plat: There is currently an 18" water line along Barron Road to the north to be extended along Barron Road to the west. A 12" line along Southern Plantation is to be extended to the first branch on Southern Plantation. This line can then be reduced to an 8" line. A 12" line is to be extended along Victoria. Sewer required for plat: The Developer will need to extend sewer to the property. The nearest available sewer is the Spring Creek Impact fee line. The subject property is in the sewer shed of this line. Street(s) required for plat: The subject property is along Barron Road. Barron is classified as a Minor Arterial. The current ROW is less than the required 90-ft. Additional ROW is required with platting of this property and is shown on the preliminary plat. The widening of Barron Road is underway with a CIP Project. The Developer has been given the information to dedicate the needed ROW for this project. The subject property is also along the proposed Victoria Avenue and Southern Plantation thoroughfares. The Developer will construct the adjacent sections of Victoria and Southern Plantation, as shown on the plat. Off-site Easements required for plat: In order to extend sewer to the subject property, the Developer is required to obtain an easement through the Crowley Tract. There is an "easement" on the CSISD property in relation to Victoria. Due to the fact that half-streets can not be platted, the Developer will need to work with CSISD to dedicate ROW and construct Victoria. Drainage: A tributary of Spring Creek transects the property to the south. It appears that it does not affect this portion of the property. Flood Plain: None Oversize request: OP is being requested for sewer, water, and possibly street construction. Impact Fees: The subject property is in the Spring Creek Sewer Impact Fee Area (97-01). Currently the fee is 349.55 per Living Unit Equivalent.
