Lindsay Kramer - College Hill Woodlands Rezoning
From: Cyril Hosley <cyril.hosley@gmail.com>
To: <lkramer@cstx.gov>
Date: 8/18/2010 4:01 PM
Subject: College Hill Woodlands Rezoning
Dear Lindsay,
Thank you so much for your time today when we spoke by phone. I appreciate your explanation of the rezoning
request.
This letter is in support of the Homeowner Association's request. As a property owner adjacent to the subject
neighborhood, I feel the request is reasonable and would protect the integrity of the neighborhood for years to come. I
am not opposed to redevelopment of older areas and even an increase in the size of the homes; but, I do think that
homes substantially larger and built outside of the original setbacks would have a negative impact on the surrounding
homes and the surrounding neighborhoods such as mine. Also, homes substantially larger would have water, sewer,
drainage, and electrical needs that could put a strain on the existing infrastructure.
Having served for 3 years on the Planning and Zoning Commission in Sugar Land and then for 9 years on City
Council, I understand redevelopment and the need for it. I also understand that current homeowners are fearful of
change in their community. That said, a rezoning overlay that does allow for responsible new development, but without
allowing homes to simply overwhelm the property, is in the best interest of the City and the neighborhood.
I encourage both the Planning and Zoning Commission and the City Council to pass this rezoning request.
Sincerely,
Cyril Hosley

Lindsay Kramer - Re: Neighborhood Prevailing Overlay
From: Andrew Fawcett <andrew@fawcettengineering.com>
To: Lindsay Kramer <Lkramer@cstx.gov>
Date: 9/2/2010 10:32 AM
Subject: Re: Neighborhood Prevailing Overlay
Thanks for your detailed and prompt responses. I keep emailing you as I cant make it to the meeting tonight.
My concerns are the following, which I welcome you to repeat to the council.
1.) On Holt Street I believe all but 3 houses have front facing garages, with various set backs from the main house. The
other garage position seems to be side facing (that is, the garage door is on the side). I would prefer this for the house I
will build as my lot is very wide (address 1005). If I have a front facing garage, with the house positioned somewhat in
the middle of the lot width, I'll have a big ugly driveway splitting my nice front yard in half. I'd rather have the drive
come up from one side of my front yard and curve around to a side facing garage. This is how the original house built
there had it, as you can see the cut in the curb for a driveway on the far left of the yard by the existing mailbox.
2.) 1 want to build a two story house, partly cause I have always wanted one, and partly cause it takes up less of a
footprint for the yard. It will definitely be a design that fits in with the neighborhood, but may be taller then the median
height. There are 3 two story houses on the road but only one is a true two-story, as in two stories and then a short attic.
The other two have the second story in steeply angled tall roofs. So if I understand it correctly, those three houses are
not the median height, so I wont be able to do what they have done as then I will be above the median height.

.
The lot coverage is a measure of the percentage of the lot that is covered. You are correct, that any expansion would need to
be at or below the median height of homes on the block face under this proposal.
The purpose of the ordinance is to try to ensure a minimum standard of lot and building configuration to provide a level of
stability for existing established neighborhoods. Garage placement has an impact on the visual quality and overall character of
a street. New construction could break up an existing pattern that could contribute to a change in this character and the
intent of the ordinance is to establish the median character within an area and have that continued as areas are developed or
redeveloped.
The tree requirements do provide for leniency by the Administrator because of this reason, but the intent is to try to preserve
as much of the existing canopy coverage as possible.
As for your comments regarding the proposal, I am happy to relay those comments to the Planning and Zoning Commission
and City Council. You are also welcome to attend the meetings and speak at the public hearings. The public hearings are to
be held tomorrow evening for the Planning and Zoning Commission and September 23rd for City Council. Both are held at City
Hall and are at 7:00 pm.
Please let me know if you have any other questions or comments.
Thanks-

i On the phone you were talking about percentages, whereas I dont see percent mentioned in the attachment. For example, I
think you said I cant cover more then the median percent lot coverage in the neighborhood. But the attachment onl
Y Y talks

about lot coverage. Is it assumed this is a percent of lot size?
cant go over the median structure height? Is there no range or "median plus 1 Oft" like on the setback?
On my street, Holt, garages face all different directions. Why restrict new structures to just one direction? Hardly seems fair.
On my vacant lot and the other vacant lot on the street it would be hard to build a house without cutting down some 8" trees.
Not cause we want to, but because the lots have been vacant so long.
I'm all for neighborhood integrity, but I dont see the need for so many restrictions.

Planning and Development Services is beginning work on the second
neighborhood plan under the City's adopted Comprehensive Plan. The
proposed area for this plan is the Eastgate neighborhood, comprised of
several residential subdivisions in the City core. The neighborhood planning
process is anticipated to take approximately 10 months to complete, and
Staff is currently working on Phase One of that process as outlined in the
Neighborhood, District, and Corridor Planning Handbook.
Phase One of the Neighborhood Planning Process includes the pre-planning
steps that occur prior to the start of plan development. This step in the process
identifies:
• The area of focus for the plan;
• The team members that make up the Planning Resource Team, Staff
Resource Team, and Neighborhood Resource Team;
• Known joint jurisdictional issues in the area;
• A preliminary timeline of events; and
• A Citizen Engagement Plan.
PURPOSE OF NEIGHBORHOOD PLANNING
Neighborhood plans are part of the City's Comprehensive Plan. A
comprehensive plan is a city's guidebook for how to manage change and
growth. It allows a city the opportunity to set goals for the future of the
community and insure adequate infrastructure and facilities for that future.
One of the goals of College Station's Comprehensive Plan is to take a more

PHASE 1 UPDATE 1 08 ?4-10
in-depth look at smaller areas - neighborhoods, districts, and corridors -
to guide growth and change at a smaller scale that promotes the
long-term stability of those areas.
AREA IDENTIFICATION
The Eastgate Neighborhood Planning Area is made up just over 560
• z'
'1r - - acres located directly across the northeast edge of the Texas A&M
University campus. Bounded by Texas Avenue, University Drive, Munson
~r K ,y ~4{Avenue, and Dominik Drive, this area includes eighteen residential
subdivisions, and is home to more than 2,400 residents. The area is
it
surrounded by a neighborhood planning area to the east, the
Hospitality Corridor planning area to the north, and a redevelopment
V planning area to the west and south along Texas Avenue and Harvey
Road.
1 Iw
Housing. and Business
' The Eastgate Planning Area primarily developed over a period of
F ' nearly 40 years between 1940 and 1980, with new infill developments
occurring in the past decade (2000). The most recent addition is the
s
University Preserve Subdivision in 2002, but the earliest development
took place in 1919 with the creation of the D.A. Smith subdivision.
` Annexations took place between 1939 and 1956. The 1939 annexation
was the second ordinance passed by the newly formed City of
r AV-
College Station (incorporated, 1938
~k- T4
The area holds more than 500,000 sq. feet of commercial and business
y z s ace and 794 single-family homes, 55 (110 units) duplexes, and 362
Y p
other multi-family units. The planning area is primarily residential, but
ringed by commercial space along major corridors (Texas Avenue and
r University Drive).
Education and Institutions
Eastgate is served by College Hills Elementary School, located in the
core of the planning area. All of the subdivisions within the planning
k +.vs m area are zoning for attendance at College Hills Elementary, Oakwood
Intermediate, A&M Middle, and A&M Consolidated High School.
College Station City Hall is also within the planning area. Fire Service is
`Y generally provided from Fire Station #1 on Holleman Drive East;
however interlocal agreement with the City of Bryan provides
additional coverage until an additional fire station is constructed
along University Drive at Tarrow Street.
Two churches are located within the planning area and Scott and
White operates a medical campus just outside the planning area to
kh«°' ' the west along University Drive.
r' Natural Features
Forty acres in the planning area are identified on the City's
. ~~N.
,was Comprehensive Plan as Natural Area Protected and Reserved. These
areas generally cover the floodplain for two Wolf Pen Creek tributaries
that traverse the center of the planning area. Overall, this area is
relatively flat, with a slight downward slope from the northwest to

Mobility
>~3 9 A
s
Eastgate is served by over l6 miles of road. The area is bounded by two
arterials - Texas Avenue and University Drive. Within the planning area, r
there is no direct north-south connectivity, while Lincoln Avenue, Francis he
Drive, and Dominik Drive provide direct east-west connection. M, d
Eisenhower Street, Tarrow Street, Foster Avenue, Walton Drive, and
ra._
George Bush Drive serve as local collector roads.
The planning area is served by three bus systems. Texas A&M University W
serves students living in this area with one bus route that runs between
77:00 a.m. and midnight on weekdays during the regular fall and spring
semesters. College Station Independent School District (CSISD) provides"
buses in this area for students attending A&M Consolidated High School.
The District provides limited general public service to this area along Y~
~L Yet '
Texas Avenue, University Drive, and Lincoln Avenue.
R' Ta t
The area is served by a network of dedicated bicycle lanes and routes. .y=
Sidewalks are also located through parts of the planning area.
Selection
The Eastgate Neighborhood Planning Area was chosen because of
opportunities and issues that are arising in the neighborhood due to
redevelopment pressures. This area was also part of a neighborhood x '_F3
plan that was completed in 2001. A new plan will identify what issues and opportunities from the previous plan were not addressed, and what
new opportunities and pressures face the neighborhood.;
The physical boundaries of this planning area were based on the
contiguous area of neighborhood conservation identified in this area of i'
town in the Comprehensive Plan, and the surrounding areas of.' t=
N
influence. Learning from the Central College Station Neighborhood
Plan, the area was scaled back to include only half of theM 4
neighborhood conservation area and focuses specifically on the historic' '
core of Eastgate, while a future plan will focus on the more recent
developments east of Munson Avenue. X

RESOURCE TEAMS
The advice and expertise of three advisory teams will be used,{
throughout the planning process - the Planning Resource Team, the Staff
Resource Team, and the Neighborhood Resource Team. These teams
will meet throughout the process to offer input and advice, and assist
with the planning process including public outreach. .
Planning Resource Teamr
The purpose of the Planning Resource Team is to provide technical

Learning and Adapting
~y v The final stage of the Citizen Engagement Plan is identifying methods
a to receive feedback from residents and businesses about their
involvement in the plan and how best to reach citizens. Several online
Lf surveys will be used throughout the process to allow community
E.. members to offer feedback on planning issues, how they were
contacted, activities they felt promoted dialogue between residents,
' and on the effectiveness of different types of communications they
received from the City. This feedback will allow Staff to better focus
~w ~q .nc
r a y-^f. the next neighborhood, district, or corridor Plan, and assist Public
Communications in developing new communication strategies. Staff
_ will also continue to work with the Neighborhood Resource Team to
r identify additional opportunities for feedback.
NEXT STEPS
' 'As Phase One of this neighborhood plan is completed, the next steps
will be focused on creating the Existing Conditions Report and
establishing vision and goals for the plan.
A series of public meetings will be held during Phase Two to introduce
the plan to the community, let the community identify issues and
opportunities for the area, and create a vision and goals for the plan.
Dates for these meetings are as follows:
