Planning and Zoning Commission
CITY OF COLLEGE STATION, TEXAS
August 3, 2000
AGENDA ITEM NO. 6: Consideration of a Master Development Plan for 60.55
acres, Sun Meadows, located on Graham Road at Schaffer Road, an R-1 Single
Family Residential and R-2 Duplex Residential District. (00-89)
Senior Staff Planner Kuenzel presented the staff report. The subject property was
rezoned to reflect 33 acres of future duplex development along the Graham Road
frontage with 17 acres of single family to the north adjacent to the existing Edelweiss
neighborhood. The remaining 10 acres are still zoned A -O and are reflected in the
Master Development Plan as additional single family development — a rezoning request is
pending for the 10 acres. The original rezoning in 1996 posed several issues such as
traffic and emergency services, both with the City and with surrounding property owners.
The applicant at that time addressed the concerns through the rezoning process. All of
the conditions apply at the time the property is platted. The developer has chosen to
route the collectors through his property which is preferable to the developer, the existing
residents to the west, and to Staff. However, the rezoning applicant was also requested to
incorporate the existing Arnold and Schaffer roads into his subdivision and modify them
so that the City would not have a dual system of collectors — one meeting current street
standards and one remaining substandard. The applicant intends to use the existing
Arnold and Schaffer roadways to meet some of the rezoning conditions. These areas will
be used for the required Hasselt/Aster loop, to extend the required collector, to provide
the required buffering, and provide a bike path connecting the existing bike path that
currently ends near the northeast corner of the property. The details of some of the
requirements is required to be submitted at the time of preliminary or final plat. At this
time, Staff has reviewed the Master Development Plan to be reasonably certain that all
requirements can be met. Staff recommends approval.
Commissioner Warren motioned for approval which was seconded by Commissioner
Williams. The motion passed 7-0.
