P&Z Minutes September 4, 1997 Page 1 of S AGENDA ITEM N0.3: Consideration of a master preliminary plat for the Drozd • Subdivision totaling 2.5 acres, including one C-1 General Commercial zoned lot, on the southwest corner of Barron Road and Highway 6. (97-315) Senior Planner McCully presented the staff report and stated that the applicant is preparing a 2.5 acre tract located just to the south of the Wilson Plumbing and the former Buff s food market for development. The entire parent tract, which includes the two developed properties as well as two remaining vacant tracts, is required to be shown on the master plat and to show compliance with subdivision regulations as well as the City's Comprehensive Plan. The plat is in compliance with all applicable requirements, except that several revisions will be required as listed in the Presubmission Conference Report. Staff recommends approval with all Presubmission Conference conditions. Commissioner Rife moved to approve the proposed master preliminary plat with the conditions listed in the Presubmission Conference Report. Commissioner Silvia seconded the motion which passed unopposed (5 - 0). AGENDA ITEM NO. 4: Consideration of a master preliminary plat for the Wheeler Subdivision totaling 12.7 acres located on the southwest and southeast corners of the Lincoln Avenue and University Drive intersection including two C-B Business Commercial zoned lots. (97-316) City Planner Kee presented the staff report and stated the master preliminary plat is the first step • in preparing the property for development after the rezonings that took place earlier this year. The west corner is being shown as one large lot while the east corner will be divided into two lots, one with A-P zoning and the other with C-B zoning. The intent is for the A-P lot to house the MicroAge offices while the C-B lot will house the Marriott Towne Place Suites. The west corner of a little over 8 acres was rezoned from R-1 Single Family to C-B Business Commercial while the 4.5 acre east corner was first rezoned from R-1 Single Family to A-P Administrative Professional and then most recently 2.5 A-P acres rezoned to C-B. This last rezoning of the east corner was conditioned upon a development agreement that will outline a time frame for the development, describe how sewer improvements will occur and detail some elements of the proposal as offered by the applicant. This development proposal will come before Council when it has been finalized and after it has been reviewed and signed by the applicant. Staff recommends approval of this request. Commissioner Parker moved to approved this request with conditions listed on Presubmission Conference Report. Commissioner Lightfoot seconded the motion which passed unopposed (5 - 0). • P&Z Minutes September 4, 1997 Page 2 of S AGENDA ITEM NO. 5: Impact Fee update on Sanitary Sewer Area 92-01 for the Graham Road area. Assistant City Engineer Morgan reported to the Commission on the Impact Fee for Sanitary Sewer in the Graham Road area. She explained that as provided by statute and appointed by Council, the Planning and Zoning Commission is designated as the Advisory Committee for Impact Fee Area "92-01". Acting in this role, the Commission is to monitor and evaluate implementation of the capital improvements plan and file semiannual reports with respect to the progress of said plan. The Commission is also to report any perceived inequities in implementing the plan or imposing the impact fee. The fees collected to date are $44,679.90, those assessed to date are $59,758.28. The unpaid fees amount to $3,347.96. Fees that have been assessed to date include all lots that have been final platted in the area as well as those lots along Graham Road. The unpaid amount occurred early in the implementation of impact fees, wherein fee collection was overlooked during the permit process. It appears this error has been corrected as there have not been any additional uncollected fees since December 1994, when new fee collection processes were implemented. The fees paid to date for the capital improvement for Phase I is $372,994.47. The revenue is listed at $86,579.23. Building records indicate our impact fee collection is $44,679.90. The difference between these two figures is due to additional revenues generated from fees (non- impact fees) collected from businesses along Graham Road who entered into development agreements with the City of College Station during annexation and incorrect posting of non- impact fees to the impact fee account. The CIP plan calls for the implementation of the second phase of the Graham Road sewerline between 1996-2006, which staff feels is still a good estimate given current development pressures in the area. The CIP plan calls for the implementation of the third phase of the Graham Road sewerline between 2006-2016. Due to CSISD's interest in the area for a new school site, this phase will more than likely be needed or deleted before this time frame. A developer is currently working with CSISD and staff regarding a change in the CIP to delete Phase III, and serve the properties that would have been served by Phase III by a different alignment. If this occurs, staff will be back to the Commission with an amendment to the CIP, appropriate public notification and hearings. Following questions, Ms. Morgan explained that fees have not been missed since December 1994 when the timing of collection of fees was changed to Final Plat filing from Building Permit issuance. The tap size determines the amount of the fee. Commissioner Lightfoot moved to accept the report and give a positive recommendation to Council. Commissioner Silvia seconded the motion which passed unopposed (6 - 0). (The vote included Ad Hoc Member Thomas.) P&Z Minutes September 4, 1997 Page 3 of5 AGENDA ITEM NO. 6: Review of the Land Use Assumptions and Capital • Improvements Plan for Sanitary Sewer Service Area 97-01 for the Spring Creek Drainage Basin. Interim Director of Development Services Callaway's presentation included a combined report for Sanitary Sewer Service Area 97-01 (Spring Creek Drainage Basin) and Sanitary Sewer Service Area 97-02 (Alum Creek Drainage Basin). He explained that the Spring Creek Drainage Basin consists of approximately 2000 acres of residential, commercial and other mixed-use land. The existing land use totals 137.4 acres. The Land Use Assumptions were based on the City of College Station's Comprehensive Land Use Plan, the Shenandoah Subdivision Master Plan, the Pebble Hills Master Development Plan, the Crowley Addition Master Development Plan and the anticipated increased residential and commercial development in this area. The development in this area has been growing rapidly. It is anticipated that the College Station Business Park will create an increased demand for residential dwellings in this area of town. Single family densities in the area range between 0.5 and 8 dwelling units per acre (depending on whether rights of ways are included in the calculations). The remaining acres have remained mostly undeveloped. Based on current trends in the area, these units should be built-out within the 10 year period from 2007 to 2017. Total developed growth during 1997 to 2007 is projected at 817.7 gross acres. Total developed growth during 2007 to 2017 is projected at 2032.7 gross acres. The Alum Creek Drainage Basin consists of approximately 2400 acres of residential, commercial • and other mixed-use land. The existing land use totals 822.1 acres. The Land Use Assumptions were based on the City of College Station's Comprehensive Land Use Plan, the Nantucket Master Development Plan, and the recent history of development in this area and the anticipated increased pace of residential and commercial development. Single family densities in the area range between 0.3 and 2 dwelling units per acre (depending whether rights of ways are included in the calculations). Based on current trends in the area, these units should be built-out within the 10 year period from 2007 to 2017. Total developed growth during 1997 to 2007 is projected at 1123.0 gross acres. Total developed growth during 2007 to 2017 is projected at 2401.8 gross acres. These Land Use Assumptions will be presented to City Council on September 25, 1997. Commissioner Lightfoot moved to endorse the comments and give favorable consideration to Council for both Land Use Assumptions and Capital Improvements Plans "97-01" Spring Creek Drainage Basin and "97-02" Alum Creek Drainage Basin. Commissioner Silvia seconded the motion which passed unopposed (6 - 0). The vote included Ad Hoc Member Thomas.
