STAFF REVIEW COMMENTS
No. 1
Project: WELLBORN SUD BOOSTER PLANT (CUP) (0-85)
Review Stopped: Incomplete Submittal - No Landscaping Plan submitted.
Submittal with a Conditional Use Permit Application should be a site plan not a
preliminary plat. In the predevelopment meeting it was determined that only a
Conditional Use Permit and a Final Plat would be required for this site. The
following comments do not constitute a complete site plan review.
1. Both sheets need to show a north arrow, if you choose to resubmit with
information on two sheets.
2. Clearly label the property lines on both sheets.
3. Label fire hydrant on both sheets.
4. Scale needs to be a standard engineering scale. Usually not greater than
1:100. Not 1":1 mile as on the sheet prepared by Orr. The sheet
prepared by Fontaine has 2 different scales shown. 1:15 is not a standard
_ scale.
~5. i Show landscape reserve and proposed landscaping plan. 1 ~r~~a. ~',;~~"' C~~
6. Show the building setbacks. In A-O zoned areas, they are 50' in front, 15'
on a side street and none for the rear of the property. The existing
building should be considered a legal non-conformity. The water tank as
a utility facility, as opposed to a habitable building or structure, will not be
required to meet setbacks.
7. Are there any existing easements on the property?
`~~ Provide dimensions for existing improvements, including height.
C(9~ Provide R.O.W. widths for Greens Prairie and Arrington Roads.
10. Clearly show how the existing concrete drive connects to the pavement
on Greens Prairie Rd. (length, width & surface)
~~ Provide distances to opposite and adjacent driveways and streets from
proposed and existing drives.
12. Gravel drives are not permitted per ordinance.
13. Commercial drives should be a minimum of 24 feet wide. The driveway
ordinance allows the City Engineer (or his designee) to "override the
recommended dimensions set forth in this policy if warranted by specific
traffic conditions." It ~ be possible to determine that this proposed
drive is only a service maintenance drive for which a 12-foot width is
9-'J acceptable. To make that determination -How often are inspections and
r. ae maintenance required? What size are the trucks that will be required?
~'~ This area should be designated as a service area, not a parking area.

What are the dimensions of this area? This area should provide
adequate room for service vehicles to turn around, so that there are no
backing maneuvers onto Arrington.
14. Gravel areas are only allowed in rare circumstances when there will be no
access to the public and the area is completely screened from public
view.
15. Fence type? Is it a screening fence? 0ln~n~. (,~-~- ~~ ~-~''~ ~~~
16. Show proposed grading and provide drainage report.
17. What are the water tank and pumphouse going to look like? Color and
material? With the subject property's close proximity to such a prominent
intersection it is anticipated that the Planning and Zoning Commission will
be interested in the screening and the aesthetics of the property.
18. Building permits will not be issued until property is final platted.

5A. The landscape reserve line should be shown 24 feet back from the property
lines along Greens Prairie and Arrington Rds.
5B. The proposed landscaping does not meet the ordinance for required
landscaping or streetscaping. Provide landscaping legend showing required
landscaping and streetscaping points and the number and type of plants
proposed to meet those requirements. 50% of landscaping points must be
canopy trees. streetscaping is required along Arrington Road to minor
arterial standards. If the vault shown along Greens Prairie is above ground,
it should be screened. Irrigation is required for all new plantings.
6. Show the building setbacks. In A-O zoned areas, they are 50' in front, 15' on
a side street and none for the rear of the property. The existing building
should be considered a legal non-conformity. The water tank as a utility
facility, as opposed to a habitable building or structure, will not be required to

8. What is the height of the existing building?
12. Gravel drives are not permitted per ordinance.
13. The driveway ordinance allows the City Engineer (or his designee) to
"override the recommended dimensions set forth in this policy if warranted by
specific traffic conditions." Variances to the surface material and width are
being allowed, because of the low frequency of use (one pick-up size
maintenance truck once a day) and because the public will not have access
to the site. Commercial drives should be 24 - 36 feet wide per ordinance; a
width of 16 feet will be permitted in this instance. Concrete is usually the
required material; here asphalt will be permitted. The location of the
driveway will need to meet adjacent driveway spacing requirements for a
collector, which is 185 feet from Greens Prairie Road.
15. Chain link with wooden slats is not considered screening fencing, but it will
be up to the Commission to decide if full screening fencing will be required.
19. In the upper left-hand corner the plan erroneously states that the property is
.036 acres not .36 acres.
J:\PZTEXT\PZ03297.DOC Page 1 of 1
Note: If in the future, the use of the Fire Department building changes and the
truck access point is removed from Greens Prairie Road, the site will need to
fully comply with the driveway ordinance.
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.

There are additional streetscaping point requirements above and beyond
the basic landscaping points. Staff calculations show that a little more
than 800 additional points are required for this site. Please remember that
shrubs have a point value of 10pts for each 5 gallon plant.
