STAFF REPORT Project Manager: Jennifer Reeves, Staff Report Report Date: August 29, 2006 Email: jreeves@cstx.gov Meeting Date: September 7, 2006 Project Number: 06-00500167 Item: Presentation,
possible action, and discussion on a revised Preliminary Plat for Castlerock consisting of 295 lots on 76.654 acres located north of Castlegate Subdivision along the north side of State
Highway 40. (06-00500167 JR) Applicant: DDH Investments, property owner Staff Recommendations: Staff recommends approval of the Preliminary Plat as submitted. The Commission previously
approved a Preliminary Plat for this subdivision in January of 2005 with a variance to the block length requirement for Blocks 1 and 10. Item Summary: The applicant is proposing to develop
295 lots on approximately 76.6 acres. The only change from the original Preliminary Plat is that Phase I has been divided into two phases. The property is located north of Castlegate
Subdivision along the east side of State Highway 40. The proposed lots are approximatley 0.16 of an acre and will have access onto residential streets. Secondary emergency access is
proposed on State Highway 40 until Castlerock Parkway is extended with development of the adjacent property. Castlerock Parkway is classified as a Minor Collector on the City's Thoroughfare
Plan. This development is located in impact fee area 97-01. Current fee for this area is $349.55 per living unit equivalent (LUE). Comprehensive Plan Considerations: The subject property
is shown on the Land Use Plan as Single Family Medium Density. The applicant has proposed 295 residential lots on 76.654 acres (3.85 dwelling units/acre) with approximately 3.5 acres
of buffers, 3 acres of greenbelt, and 5.9 acres of park area. The preliminary plat meets the density standards of the Comprehensive Plan and is in compliance with the approved Concept
Plan approved by the design review Board on October of 2005. Item Background: The subject property was annexed into the City limits in April of 1995 and is currently zoned Planned Development
District (PDD). In January of 2005 a preliminary plat was approved by the Commission also granting variance to block length for Blocks 1 and 10. The Concept Plan was approved by the
Design Review Board in October of 2005. Budgetary & Financial Summary: None requested. Related Advisory Board Recommendations: The Parks Board recommended to accept park land dedication
of 5.863 acres. A 1.5-acre portion was dedicated with the Spring Creek Townhome development. The associated development fee for the 1.5 acres was also previously accepted in the amount
of $105,610. The actual park land to be dedicated with this development is a total of 4.363 acres, which is adjacent to the 1.5-acre parcel.
The Design Review Board approved the Concept Plan in October of 2005. Commission Action Options: The Commission has final authority over the Preliminary Plat. The options regarding the
Preliminary Plat are: § Approval § Denial Supporting Materials: 1. Small Area Map (SAM) and Aerial Map 2. Application 3. Copy of Preliminary Plat (provided in packet) INFRASTRUCTURE
AND FACILITIES Water required for plat: Each lot is required to have public water service, as shown on the plat. A looped system will be extended from an existing 24-inch water in State
Highway 40 ROW. Water Service: Water to be provided to each structure, as required. Sewer required for plat: Each lot is required to have public sewer service, as shown on the plat.
Sewer service will be extended from existing 18-inch and 21-inch mains located along the northwest boundary of the property. Sewer Service: Sewer to be provided to each structure, as
required. Street(s) required for plat: All streets shown on plat are required for this subdivision. Castlerock Parkway is a Minor Collector on the City’s Thoroughfare Plan. Streets/Access:
Secondary Emergency Access is proposed off State Highway 40 until Castlerock Parkway is extended with the development of the adjacent property. Off-site Easements required for plat:
None required at this time. Drainage: Drainage will be to Spring Creek. A regional detention pond was constructed to offset post-development drainage impacts to downstream areas. Flood
Plain: The 100-year floodplain within this subdivision does not affect any of the proposed lots. Oversize request: None requested at this time. Impact Fees: The development is located
within the Spring Creek Sanitary Sewer Impact Fee Area 97-01. Currently, the impact fee is $349.55 per living unit equivalent. Parkland Dedication Fees: The Parks Board recommended to
accept park land dedication of 5.863 acres. A 1.5-acre portion was dedicated with the Spring Creek Townhome development. The associated development fee for the 1.5 acres was also previously
accepted in the amount of $105,610. The actual park land to be dedicated with this development is a total of 4.363 acres, which is adjacent to the 1.5 acre parcel.
STAFF REPORT Project Manager: Lindsay Boyer, Staff Planner Report Date: August 25, 2006 Email: lboyer@cstx.gov Meeting Date: September 7, 2006 Project Number: 06-00500170 Item: Presentation,
possible action, and discussion on a revised Preliminary Plat for Lakeside Village Subdivision consisting of 56 lots on 13.79 acres generally located along the proposed extension of
Eagle Avenue and west of Longmire Drive. Applicant: Ron Lagrone /Lagrone Construction Co. – Property Owner Staff Recommendations: Staff recommends approval of the revised Preliminary
Plat. Item Summary: This item is for consideration of an amendment to the Preliminary Plat for Lakeside Village Subdivision to allow for the phasing of the development and the development
of the lots for lot line construction. This amendment would create two phases of the development, which would be separated by Eagle Avenue. The plat remains identical in lot configuration.
This plat received a variance at the April 6th meeting of the Commission to block length and lot configuration. The plat came back to the Commission on April 20th for reconsideration
of the plat which provided pedestrian access ways per the Commission’s recommendation, and changed some lot configurations that did not receive variances. This plat is identical to the
plat that was approved on April 20th except for the phasing line and the addition of maintenance easements for lot line construction. Lot line construction allows the developer to offset
the buildings to one side of the lot, up to the lot line, but requires that a 7.5-foot maintenance easement be provided between buildings. Comprehensive Plan Considerations: The Comprehensive
Land Use Plan identifies this area for Single-family Residential Medium Density. A short segment of Eagle Avenue will be extended through the development of this parcel. Longmire Drive
is a Major Collector and runs north-south connecting Barron Road to FM 2818. Eagle Avenue is a Minor Collector and connects the SH 6 Frontage Road to the SH 40 Frontage Road. The southwest
corner of the parcel is adjacent to a Lick Creek tributary. Item Background: This tract was annexed in 1983 and was zoned R-1 Single-family Residential in November 2005. The tract has
not been previously platted. Dove Crossing Subdivision is developing to the northeast, and existing single-family subdivisions are to the south. Budgetary & Financial Summary: OP for
the 12-inch water line along Eagle Avenue will be requested.
Related Advisory Board Recommendations: The Subdivision Regulations were amended December 15, 2005, to authorize the City Manager or his designee to accept the Fee for dedications of
less than three (3) acres where: · There is a sufficient amount of parkland existing in the park zone of the proposed development; or · The proposed dedication is insufficient for a
Neighborhood Park site under existing park design standards. This plat has met these requirements and the City has accepted fee in lieu of land dedication for this subdivision. This
action does not require approval by the Planning and Zoning Commission. Commission Action Options: The Commission has final authority over the preliminary plat. The options regarding
the preliminary plat are: § Approval § Denial INFRASTRUCTURE AND FACILITIES Water: There is a 12-in waterline along Eagle Avenue that will be extended with this development. The new
system for this area is required to meet B/CS Unified Water and Sewer Design Guidelines for domestic and fire flows. A Water Design Report for the subdivision is required at the time
of Final Plat to ensure compliance. Water Service: Water to be provided to each lot, as required. Sewer: There is an existing 18-inch sewer line along the southwest property line that
will be extended with this development. A Sewer Report for the subdivision is required at the time of Final Plat to insure capacity and compliance with the BCS Unified Water and Sewer
Design Guidelines. Sewer Service: Sewer to be provided to each lot, as required. Streets: The Developer is providing access to all lots with conventional-width streets. Lakeview Drive
will be gated and private. Eagle Avenue is a minor collector and on the City’s Thoroughfare Plan and will be extended with this subdivision. Longmire Drive is an existing major collector
on the Plan. An additional 5 feet of ROW for Longmire Drive will be dedicated with this development. Off-site Easements: N/A Drainage: This development is required to meet the Drainage
Ordinance. Detention is planned for a portion of the development by means of a retention pond
in the gated area of the subdivision. Direct discharge is planned for the remaining area. Flood Plain: N/A Oversize request: OP for the 12-inch water line along Eagle Avenue will be
requested. Impact Fees: N/A Parkland Dedication Fees: Based on 56 lots, the Fee-in-lieu of Land will be $11,088. The Park Development Fee will be $20,048. Supporting Materials: 1. Small
Area Map (SAM) and Aerial Map 2. Application 3. Copy of Preliminary Plat (provided in packet)
NOTE: Any changes made to the plans, that have not been requested by the City of College Station, must be explained in your next transmittal letter and “bubbled” on your plans. Any additional
changes on these plans that have not been pointed out to the City, will constitute a completely new review. 1 of 1 STAFF REVIEW COMMENTS NO. 1 Project: CRESCENT POINT PH 2 (PP-REVISED)

STAFF REPORT Project Manager: Lindsay Boyer, Staff Planner Report Date: August 25, 2006 Email: lboyer@cstx.gov Meeting Date: September 7, 2006 Project Number: 06-00500134 Item: Presentation,
possible action, and discussion on a Variance Request to Section 8-M Sidewalks of the Subdivision Regulations, and a presentation, possible action, and discussion on a Preliminary Plat
for the Super B Phase 2 Subdivision consisting of 1 lot on 1.88 acres located at 2000 FM 158 in the general vicinity of the northwest intersection of FM 158 and Harvey Road. Applicant:
Garrett Engineering, engineer for the owner Sahn Trihn. Staff Recommendations: Staff recommends approval of the preliminary plat with the condition that the attached Staff Review Comments
#3 are addressed. Item Summary: This plat is in preparation for commercial development on the tract. The development will also include the relocation of a detention pond that will serve
both the Exxon station at the corner and this development. Additionally, the access easement through the Exxon station property (Super B, Phase 1) will be extended through this property.
Section 8-M of the Subdivision Regulations require that sidewalks shall be required on both sides of all streets having a right-of-way width equal to or greater than sixty feet. The
applicant is requesting a variance to this section. Harvey Road currently has a ditch section. In considering a variance, the Planning and Zoning Commission should make the following
findings: 1. That there are special circumstances or conditions affecting the land involved such that strict application of the provisions of this chapter will deprive the applicant
of the reasonable use of his land; 2. That the variance is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of a substantial property right of the applicant; 3. That the granting of the
variance will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare, or injurious to other property in the area, or to the City in administering this chapter; and 4. That the granting
of the variance will not have the effect of preventing the orderly subdivision of other land in the area in accordance with the provisions of this chapter. Comprehensive Plan Considerations:
The Comprehensive Land Use Plan identifies this area as Retail Regional. The Land Use Plan was updated in 2001 with the 30/60 Small Area Plan. The property has approximately 344 feet
of frontage on State Highway 30, a Major Arterial on the City’s Thoroughfare Plan. The subdivision is not proposing the extension of any sidewalks. The location of the access easement
identified for the driveway is pending, subject to TxDOT approval. This location may be moved on the Final Plat based on TxDOT comments. Except for the provision of sidewalks, this plat
is in compliance with the remaining sections of the Subdivision Regulations.
Item Background: The subject property was annexed in 1980, and subsequently zoned A-O, Agricultural Open. The property was rezoned in 1999 to C-B, Business Commercial. With the adoption
of the Unified Development Ordinance in 2003, all C-B, Business Commercial districts became C-1, General Commercial. This property has not previously been platted. It was included in
a preliminary plat from 1999, however it expired in 2001. There has been no recent development on this property, however, it is in the vicinity of the Crescent Pointe plats. Budgetary

to approving the preliminary plat. The options for each variance request are: § Approval § Denial Commission Action Options Regarding the Preliminary Plat: The Commission has final authority

July 10, 2006 SIDEWALK VARZANCE REQUEST For: Super "B" Subdivision, Phase I1 Located on Harvey Rd approximately 245ft South of the Intersection of FM 158 and Harvey Rd, College Station,
Tx. This letter is to formally request a variance to the sidewalk requirement set forth in the City of College Station Subdivision Regulations. Harvey Road right-of-way in this area
is a ditch section and as such there is not room for a sidewalk. To place the sidewalk out side of the ditch section would mean to place the sidewalk along the inside of the property
line, thus reducing the landscaping area along the streetscape frontage. Sidewalks are to be placed within the property to provide access fiom parking areas to the building which promote
a safe passage for pedestrians. However, Harvey Road along this stretch is partially developed lowering the need for pedestrian traffic to interconnect the neighboring businesses. As
this area develops the traffic along this route will the road to be widened at which time the ditch section will be converted to a curb and gutter section thus allowing room for sidewalks.
