SUBJECT: REPLAT - for DEERFIELD ESTATES LOT9R BLK 1
Item: Public hearing, discussion and possible action on a Replat for Deerfield Estates
Lot 9R Block 1, consisting of 4 lots on 4.82 acres in the city's ETJ. (03-00500078)
Applicant: Curtis Strong, Surveyor
Staff Recommendations: Staff recommends approval of the Variance Request and
Final Plat as submitted.
Item Summary: This item requires the approval of a variance to approve the plat. The
City's Subdivision Regulations, 13-C, require a minimum 100-ft width for lots in the ETJ.
According to the owner, the 100-ft lot width was unobtainable due to the shape of the
property. The County has a minimum width of 70-ft. The property is providing access
to the adjacent lot by way of Alexis Court. The 100-ft lot width requirement discourages
flag lots and limits access to rural roads. No flag lots are being platted in this
subdivision. Alexis Court is approximately 500-ft long and does not continue through.
Comprehensive Plan Considerations:
Thoroughfare Plan: State Hwy 30 is a Major Arterial
Attachments:
1. Area map
2. Application
3. Letter from Mr. Melesky addressing the variance request.

Re: Request for Variance and Exception to the Minimum Lot Width Requirement of the Subdivision
Regulations of the City of College Station-Replat of Lot 9R, Block 1, Vacating and Subdivision Plat of
Lots 3 thru 8,Block 1,Deerfield Estates
Dear Planning and Zoning Commission of the City of College Station,Texas
Please allow this letter to serve as my formal request for a variance and exception to the minimum lot width
requirement of the Subdivision Regulations of the City of College Station. My reasons for this request are
that the existing shape and width of the lot as it was/is presently platted does not allow for a workable
design with the creation of a road(minimum 70'ROW-County Standards)and a replat/resubdivision of this
lot into four (4) 1 acre lots while maintaining the minimum lot width as required by the City of College
Station.Our proposed design of this replat we have submitted meets the Brazos County minimum 70'width
with a cul-de-sac street while providing access to these proposed lots off of this proposed road as desired
by both the State(TxDot for Hwy.30)and Brazos County.
We hope this letter provides you with the necessary information you require and that this plat meets with
your approval for this request.
If you have any questions or require additional information,please feel free to call me @587-2275.
