Commissioner Gribou moved to approve the minutes from the meeting of September 3, 1992 as corrected. Commissioner Smith seconded the motion which passed unopposed (6 - 0). AGENDA ITEM NO. 2: Consideration of a final amending plat for Southeast College Park lots 4A and 4B of block 4. (92-213) Assistant to the City Engineer Morgan presented the staff report and recommended approval of the final plat as submitted. The applicant is requesting to amend the original plat to relocate an interior lot line. A Presubmission Conference was held on this plat on September 2, 1992 and there were no comments. The final plat complies with the City's development policies. Commissioner Lane moved to recommend approval of the final amending plat for Southeast College Park lots 4A and 4B of block 4. Commissioner Herring seconded the motion which passed unopposed (6 - 0). AGENDA ITEM NO. 3: Consideration of a final E. T. J. plat for Stonehedge. (92-216) Assistant to the City Engineer Morgan presented the staff report and recommended approval. Although these lots have access to City water and sewer services, staff recommended, in line with City Council's action regarding service to E. T. J. properties, that service be contingent upon either a request for annexation or written indication that annexation will not be opposed. Commissioner Hall moved to recommend approval of the final E. T. J. plat for Stonehedge. Commissioner Gribou seconded the motion which passed unopposed (6 - 0). AGENDA ITEM NO. 4: Consideration of final plats for Pebble Creek Phase 1F and Pebble Creek Phase 1G. (92-214 & 92-215) Assistant to the City Engineer Morgan presented the staff report and recommended approval with conditions. A Preliminary Plat of Phase One was approved by the City Council on February 8, 1990. The approval included the areas now referenced as Phase 1F and 1G. The final plat as submitted varies slightly from this approved preliminary. The final plat reflects three cul-de-sacs along Spearman Drive instead of two as originally approved. Staff prefers the three cul-de-sac layout as it reduces the amount of direct driveway access onto Spearman Drive which is a collector. The applicant is requesting a variance for the cul-de-sac length on Inglewood Court. The layout for Inglewood Court currently exceeds our subdivision ordinance by approximately 90 feet. Staff would support this variance to the cul-de-sac length requirement. In addition, staff would recommend the placement of an additional sidewalk on Spearman Drive and one side of Firestone Drive. All comments from the Presubmission Conference held on September 2, 1992 have been addressed. Staff recommends approval with the variance and the additional sidewalk requirement. Applicant A. P. Boyd informed the Commission that Dan Sears is currently working with City staff on developing a bikeway plan for this development. Mr. Boyd stated that in general, he is not opposed to installing bikeways as long as other developments within the City will do the same and that an overall plan for the City will be established. Mr. Boyd also stated that he has been working with the City Manager on the development of the adjacent Business Park. Commissioner Hall moved to recommend approval of 1F and 1G with staff recommendations ;Commissioner Gribou seconded the motion which passed (6 -0) AGENDA ITEM NO. 5: Other business. The Commission decided that Commissioners Smith and Lane would attend the APA Conference in Austin on October 7 - 10, 1992. Senior Planner Kee informed the Commission that the Cities of Bryan and College Station were creating "Box City" at the 1992 Festi-Fall on October 17 and 18. She stated that volunteers were needed to work with children and explain zoning issues. Senior Planner Kee asked Commissioners that were interested to contact her for sign-up information. Senior Planner Kee also directed the Commission's attention to a memo from Transportation Planner Hard concerning bike registration and licensing. Any questions pertaining to this memo should be directed to Transportation Planner Hard at 764-3570. AGENDA ITEM NO. 6: Adjourn. Commissioner Hall moved to adjourn the meeting of the Planning and Zoning Commission. Commissioner Lane seconded the motion which passed unopposed (6 - 0). APP / ~' _ _.. .
