REGULAR AGENDA
(R-1) Consideration of a Final Plat and Related Development Agreement for Lot 1
of the Lacour Subdivision, a 4.339 acre lot located along SH 30 east and adjacent
to the existing Taco Bell and approximately 1050 feet east of the intersection of
SH 30 and Texas Avenue.
City Planner Jane Kee described the Final Plat and Related Development Agreement.
An overhead of the location map was displayed.
Mayor Ringer opened the meeting for comments.
Mr. James C. Noonan of Houston addressed the council. Mr. Noonan stated that he is
the owner of the Noonan eight acre tract and is currently in the process of selling the
property to First Worthing Company. If the City extends Kyle through the property this
would reduce the tract of land by 0.55 acres and not suitable for this project. Mr.
Noonan requested the City Council delay their consideration on the Lacour plat with the
Kyle Street extension until property owners can meet and discuss this matter with the
City of College Station.
Mr. George Ball, 3355 Golden Trail, addressed the Council. He stated that the First
Worthing Company is ready to come forward with a plat and continue with this project.
Mr. Ball suggested the city divide the right-of-way among the four property owners in
equal proportions. Mr. Ball questioned the width of the 70 ft. right-of-way. Mr. Ball
requested the City Council delay their consideration on the dedicated right-of-way.
Mr. Phil Callahan, of 8706 Appomattox and realtor representing First Worthing
Company, addressed the Council. The company's intent is the development of a high
quality apartment complex. Mr. Callahan requested the City Council table this item to
allow the city staff to work on the development agreement and to continue working with
the adjacent property owners.
Mr. Greg Taggart, 1218 Berkeley, addressed the Council. Mr. Taggart of Municipal
Development Group, represented Lacour Investments. Mr. Taggart suggested deleting
the Kyle Street extension. Lacour Investments directed Mr. Taggart to agree with the
City recommendations; therefore, this would allow the Lacour Investments to close.
Due to time constraints, Mr. Taggart urged the City Council to approve the plat as
submitted along with the recommendation of the city staff.

Following brief discussion, Councilman Hickson moved approval of the final plat and
development agreement with staff recommendation. Councilman Fox seconded the
motion.
Councilman Crouch amended the motion to allow a replat to show a different alignment
that would move the right-of-way and waive the fees for submitting a replat. The
amended motion passed unanimously.
Mr. Row, 6481 Waterway, suggested modifying the plat to illustrate the curve
westward. Therefore, the Noonan track would retain more of its acreage.
Mayor Ringer stated that the city cannot plat part of the street on a single plat.
Interim City Manager Brymer suggested entering into a development agreement with
the Lacour Investments and Noonan Estate to address the realignment of Kyle Street to
the west.
Ms. Kee stated that a development agreement is a contract and the city is in a position
to negotiate. As long as the development agreement is tied to the final plat, Lacour Inv.
cannot file the final plat and sell Lot 1. If this is negotiated, then the property owners to
the west will have an interest in the Lacour development. This could delay the process
by Lacour.
The original motion as amended passed unanimously.
(R-2) Approval of the Carter Lake Acres subdivision Preliminary Plat in the City's
ETJ, Case No. 95-307.
Project Engineer Brett McCully presented this item to the Council. After discussion by
Council, property owner Burt Munro asked why a private road (Harris) is being
upgraded at the owners expense.
Mr. McCully replied this is due to the accessibility from Harris and Bradley Road. Also,
in question were county maintenance and future dedication. Included in the plat is the
dedication.
Councilman Hickson moved approval of the preliminary plat without staff
recommendations regarding road improvements. Motion seconded by Councilman
Mariott which carried unanimously.

committee for funding public service activities through the City's 1995-96
Community Development Block Grant.

27th, to review and select the eleven (11) public service agencies to be recommended
for CDBG funding. The amount of CDBG funds available to public service agencies
through the City of College Station is $158,666, with the City of Bryan funding
$169,650, for a combined total of $328,316. The committee recommended CDBG

Brazos County Rape Crisis Center $42,000
TCM-Phoebe's Home $45,000

This item was removed at the request of staff.
(R-8) Consideration of first reading of an ordinance granting a Franchise to
American Medical Waste Management, Inc. for the collection and disposal of
Treated and Untreated Medical Waste from Health Care Related Facilities within
the City.
Public Services Director Mark Smith described this item. After discussion by Council,
Mr. Rusty Abbott with Browning Ferris Industries addressed the Council. Mr. Abbott
requested the Council delay consideration of this item and allow Browing Ferris
Industries to present additional information regarding their proposal. Mr. Abbott
indicated that his company may not have supplied the material as needed due to
misguided information.
City Council Regular Meeting Page 7
Thursday, May 11, 1995
Interim City Manager Brymer stated that the proposals are public record. Two readings
of the ordinance shall be held and Browning Ferris Industries will have time to obtain
and evaluate the proposal of American Medical Waste Management, Inc.
Councilman Hickson made a motion to approve the first reading of the ordinance.
Councilman Crouch seconded the motion.
Mr. Rick Floyd addressed the Council. Mr. Floyd pointed out that the franchise
ordinance contains an automatic renewal provision if satisfactory service is provided at
the conclusion of two years. Also, Texas A&M University is currently examining a
hazardous waste disposal system . At this time, A&M does not know what the
recommendation will be, however, if a facility is built, A&M University would likely
include the City of College Station. With the automatic renewal included in the
franchise this could void any joint activity between Texas A&M and the City.
The original motion carried unanimously.
(R-9) Hear Visitors
Mr. Scott Briers, 1404 A Sebesta Rd., addressed the Council. He stated his concern
about the current construction on Sebesta Road and the assess ability to his home.
Interim City Manager Brymer stated this matter would be corrected immediately.
