Due to incomplete information, a complete review was not conducted. The following is a partial list of items that will need to be addressed: 1. The north/south collector should be included in the platted area. The proposal accomplishes this with the relocation of Schaffer. However, you need to show what will happen to the existing Schaffer ROW. 2. The east/west collector should be included in the platted area. Include all of the Arnold Road right-of--way from the new Schaffer location east through the property. You will be required to build this portion of Arnold Road to a minor collector standard. The existing Arnold right-of- way west of new Schaffer can be reduced to a residential street standard and should tie into Wild Plum. The remainder of the Arnold right-of--way may be abandoned and any portion of it that originated from the Schaffer property maybe included into the subdivision. 3. There should be a loop connection between Aster and Hasselt. This loop should meet the City's residential street standard. Show how this will be accomplished and include this loop in the platted area. 4. There should be a landscape buffer on the portion of Schaffer between the creek and existing Arnold right-of-way. The portion of Schaffer not needed for the loop between Aster and Hasselt should be abandoned by the developer. Show the abandoned portion of Schaffer that came out of the Schaffer property as a landscape buffer. 5. There should be an emergency access connection between this development and the existing Edelweiss Estates. The proposed 40' right-of--way is of sufficient width, however there needs to be a design concept submitted to show how regular vehicular access will be discouraged and emergency vehicular access accommodated. 6. Access to Schaffer for industrial property should be maintained. 7. Lot and Block numbering is confusing. 8. Residential lots should not front onto collector roadways. Staff Review Comments Page 1 of 1 9. Alleys should not be included as part of the lots. 10.Avoid right angle lots. 11. What is the total Schaffer Road Right-of-way and how much of it came from the original Schaffer tract? 12. What is the total Arnold Road Right-of--way and from what tract or tracts did it originate? 13. Before the plan will be scheduled, submit evidence of meetings with neighborhood residents to discuss the additional property to be rezoned.

We are requesting clarification of some of the changes that have been made to address those comments -new comments are shown in bold. 1. The north/south collector should be included in the platted area. The proposal accomplishes this with the relocation of Schaffer. However, you need to show what will happen to the existing Schaffer ROW. Include all of Schaffer Road and Arnold Road ROW as well as any Hasselt and Aster ROW needed to accomplish the "loop" in the boundaries of the Master Dev't Plan. Also, show the landscape buffer along the entire portion of Schaffer ~ adjacent to R-1. Is Schaffer ROW width shown correctly? Does it taper down as shown? i` The east/west collector should be included in the platted area. Include all of the Arnold Road right-of--way from the new Schaffer location east through the property. You will be required to build this portion of Arnold Road to a minor collector standard. The existing Arnold right-of- way west of new Schaffer can be reduced to a residential street standard and should tie into ~Id Plum.

The alley section that turns on to Wild Plum should also transition (we suggest perhaps an "elbow" half cul-de-sac section but other methods may be submitted). ,, n; .. ' .,.. Staff Review Comments rl` ~~ '>> ~~~ Page 1 of 1 3. There should be a loop connection between Aster and Hasselt. This loop should meet the City's residential street standard. Show how this will be accomplished and include this loop in the platted area. It does not seem that there is currently enough room to accommodate the loop, the bike lane, and the required landscape `~ buffer and Block 5 may therefore have to be altered. 4. There should be a landscape buffer on the portion of Schaffer between the creek and existing Arnold right-of-way. The portion of Schaffer not needed for the loop between Aster and Hasselt should be abandoned by the developer. Show the abandoned portion of Schaffer that came out of the Schaffer property as a landscape buffer. We have decided that no portion of Schaffer need be abandoned. However, the entire length of Schaffer adjacent to existing R-1 needs to include a buffer. 5. There should be an emergency access connection between this development and the existing Edelweiss Estates. The proposed 40' right-of--way is of sufficient width, however there needs to be a design concept submitted to show how regular vehicular access will be discouraged and emergency vehicular access accommodated. The drive needs to be at least 20' wide with an overhead clearance of „~ 14' for fire trucks. Also, the curb needs to be mountable but to discourage regular use. Show how this will be done. 6. Access to Schaffer for industrial property should be maintained. OK 7. Lot and Block numbering is confusing. OK 8. Residential lots should not front onto collector roadways. OK 9. Alleys should not be included as part of the lots. OK 10.Avoid right angle lots. OK 11. What is the total Schaffer Road Right-of-way and how much of it came from the original Schaffer tract? See other comments regarding Schaffer, above. 12. hat is the total Arnold Road Right-of-way and from what tract or tracts did it originate? What is the width of existing Arnold ROW? 13. Before the plan will be scheduled, submit evidence of meetings with neighborhood residents to discuss the additional property to be rezoned. We've received information that meetings have taken place. Two Staff Review Comments Page 2 of 1 residents have visited with Staff as well, and have asked the following be addressed: a) They would like to see details of the landscape buffer in terms of numbers and types of plantings. b) They would like to know whether the buffer will be irrigated. c) They would like a statement regarding maintenance of the buffer area (will it be handed over to Edelweis HOA or remain with this development's HOA?) d) They would like to know how the existing ditch will be handled. If it remains as is, how will the loop be accomplished? It seems that the bike lane is shown over that ditch. e) What is the timing of the installation of the buffer? 14 The zoning line between the R-1 and R-2 should be one line instead of ~` two. Show the line. 15. Phasing can either be shown at this stage or with the preliminary plat. When you are ready to show phasing, keep in mind that there are dwellings to the east that will need to be accessible at all construction phases. 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. Reviewed by: Sabine Kuenzel Date: 06/22/00 Staff Review Comments Page 3 of 1
