The meeting was called to order at 7:00 P.M. Agenda Item No. 1 -- Approval of minutes of meeting of October 20, 1975. Commissioner Miller moved that the minutes be approved as written. Commissioner Stevenson seconded. The motion was passed unanimously. Agenda Item No. 2 -- Hear visitors. City Councilman James Gardner requested that the Commission or the City Planning Staff prepare a development study for the area of College Station bounded by Highway 6 By-Pass, Texas Avenue and the South side of Highway 30. Mr. Gardner cited the increased zoning and construction activity in this area as the basis for the need of such a study. Commissioner Mathewson stated that due to the multitude of land owners in this tract, any plan for this area would have to include public hearings and city legislation to enforce the plan. Commissioner Burke suggested that some preliminary circulation and development plans be prepared and presented for public input. Commissioner Mathewson stated that a plan for this area, supported by public hearings and approved by City Council would give the Commission a basis by which to judge future development plats in that area. Following further discussion, Commissioner Mathewson moved that the City Planning Department proceed to prepare a basic transportation and utility plan for the area bounded by the East By-Pass to the east, Highway 30 to the north, and Texas Avenue to the west. The motion was seconded by Commissioner Miller and unanimously approved. Agenda Item No. 3 -- Consideration of final plat of Southwood Valley, Section 5-A, 18.98 acres. Mr. W. D. Fitch presented the final plat to the Commission. Mr. Fitch requested that he be allowed to relocate the proposed sidewalk to the North side of Deacon Drive rather than in the drainage easement as had been previously required. Mr. Fitch stated that this location of the sidewalk would better serve the future pedestrian circulation in the area. City Planner Mayo pointed out that Pierre Place as shown on the Preliminary Plat had been changed to Sandy Circle on the Final Plat. Commissioner Mathewson stated that it was his interpretation of the Flood Hazard Ordinance that the contour line showing the limit of the 100 year flood was required 41/1 to be shown on all final plats. Mr. Fitch pointed out that in the process of construction in the subdivision, the position of the 100 year flood contour would be substantially altered. MINUTES, Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting Page 2 November 3, 1975 7:00 P.M. Commissioner Mathewson stated that the 100 year flood contour should be shown on the final plat in its proper position after construction had been completed. Mr. Fitch pointed out that after construction in this subdivision, the 100 year flood area had been confined inside the indicated drainage easement. Commissioner Mathewson stated that this fact should be indicated on the plat. Commissioner Mathewson moved to accept the final plat with the requirement of a sidewalk on the North side of Deacon Drive and the understanding that the drainage improvements have been so designed as to carry the 100 year flood. The motion was seconded by Commissioner Stevenson and unanimously approved. Agenda Item No. 4 -- Consideration of preliminary plat of Southwood Valley, Section 4, 71.95 acres. Mr. W. D. Fitch presented the preliminary plat answering the questions of the Commission.

The motion was seconded by Commissioner Stevenson and unanimously approved. Agenda Item No. 5 -- Consideration of preliminary plat of Southwood Valley, Section 6, 43.95 acres. 410 Mr. W. D.
