STAFF REPORT Project Manager: Jennifer Prochazka, Planner Report Date: February 17, 2006 Email: jprochazka(a�cstx.gov Meeting Date: March 2, 2006 Project Number: 05-00500232 Item: Public Hearing, presentation, possible action and discussion on a replat of Indian Lakes Phase IV into Indian Lakes Phase IX, consisting of 44 lots on 14.78 acres, generally located southeast of the intersection of Indian Lakes Drive and Arapaho Ridge Drive.

Minimum lot sizes are recommended in the County for the construction of septic systems. Since the developer has proposed to tie into the City's sanitary sewer system, individual lots will not need septic systems. Comprehensive Plan Considerations: The Land Use Plan shows most of the land in the ETJ to be developed at a rural density (very low density residential development with agricultural and support uses). The City does not control land use in the county, but does share platting authority. Item Background: This area was formerly part of Indian Lakes Phase 4 (vacated June 22, 2005). The City and the developer agree that the increase in density from the rest of the Indian Lakes development warrants this proposal to be a new project. A Preliminary Plat for this property, proposing 42 lots and an on-site sewer treatment plant, was approved in August. A new Preliminary Plat was approved by the Commission on February 2, 2006 because the applicant proposed connecting to the City sanitary sewer system. Because of the removal of the on-site private wastewater treatment plant, two additional lots were included in the most recent Preliminary Plat. Commission Action Options Regarding the Final Plat: The Commission has final authority over the Final Plat. The options regarding the Final Plat are: • Approval • Denial Infrastructure and Facilities • Water required for plat: This phase is not considered to be vested and therefore must meet all fire flow requirements in accordance with the Bryan/College Station Design Guidelines and Specifications. The domestic water is proposed to be served off the same line as fire flow and is to be served by Wellborn SUD. • Sewer required for plat: The developer proposes tying into the City sanitary sewer system. This requires that this property be brought into the City's sewer CCN or a special exception be granted by the City Council, and easements be obtained prior to the Final Plat. • Streets required for plat: The streets are proposed to be privately maintained by the HOA, 24-feet in width, inverted crown for centerline drainage with no curb and gutters. The private street system is proposed to tie into Indian Lakes Drive, a major collector on the City's Thoroughfare Plan. Supporting Materials: 1. Small Area Map (SAM) and Aerial Map 2. Application 3.
