(2) hold harmless and development agreements be executed by all parties involved for the
provision of private sanitary sewer service to lots 3R and 4R and be noted on the face
of the plat;
(3) provision of a blanket utility easement during construction;

Assistant to the City Engineer Morgan stated that at a presubmission conference on March 31, 1993,
staff explained to the applicant that if they wish to retain private sanitary sewer service to the
platted lots (rather than provide new public sewer lines) they will need to enter into a hold harmless
and development agreements Cor those lots. These agreements are necessary since the lots will not
have public sewer service as required by the City's Subdivision Regulations. Also due to the
possible relocation of internal utilities, staff requested the provision of a blanket public utility
easement during construction and an easement dedication plat upon completion of construction.
This will allow the applicant to proceed with this plat and provide the necessary easements once
construction of the redevelopment has been completed.
Representative of the applicant Larry Wells of the Municipal Development Group approached the
Commission and olhered to answer any questions pertaining to the proposed final plat.
Commissioner Hall expressed concern with the proposed sidewalk along the frontage of Pier One.
The sidewalk would direct pedestrians into the driveway entrance to the mall and create a safety
hazard. Commissioner Hall suggested that alternative pedestrian routes through the site be
considered.
Commissioner Mariott moved to recommend approval of the final plat of Post Oak Square with the
conditions outlined by staff. Commissioner Smith seconded the motion which passed unopposed (6 -
0).
AGENDA ITEM NO. 3: Other business.
Commissioner Hall informed the Commission that he attended the Texas Municipal League
Conference today on strategic planning. He stated that the Commission should get more involved
with strategic planning instead of functioning primarily as a zoning body.
Chairperson Hawthorne requested information from the conference.
City Planner Callaway announced some personnel changes and reassignment of duties in the
Development Services department. Elroy Ash is now responsible for economic development
including the College Station Business Park. Mr. Callaway stated that he is assuming some of Mr.
Ash's responsibilities as director of development services and Jane Kee is moving into the position
of City Planner.
AGENDA ITEM NO. 4: Adjourn.
Commissioner Mariott moved to adjourn the meeting of the Planning and Zoning Commission.
Commissioner Hall seconded the motion which passed unopposed (6 - 0).
