SIDEWALK VARIANCE REQUEST
For: Super "B" Subdivision, Phase II
Located on Harvey Rd approximately 245ft South of the
Intersection of FM 158 and Harvey Rd, College Station, Tx.
This letter is to formally request a variance to the sidewalk requirement set forth
in the City of College Station Subdivision Regulations. Harvey Road right-of-way in
this area is a ditch section and as such there is not room for a sidewalk. To place the
sidewalk out side of the ditch section would mean to place the sidewalk along the inside
of the property line, thus reducing the landscaping area along the streetscape frontage.
Sidewalks are to be placed within the property to provide access from parking areas to
the building which promote a safe passage for pedestrians. However, Harvey Road along
this stretch is partially developed lowering the need for pedestrian traffic to interconnect
the neighboring businesses. As this area develops the traffic along this route will the road
to be widened at which time the ditch section will be converted to a curb and gutter
section thus allowing room for sidewalks.
