CITY STAFF PRESENT: Development Services Director Dunn, Director of Strategic Planning, Budgeting, and Finance Kersten, City Planner Kee, Senior Planner Fletcher, Graduate Civil Engineers Thompson and Cotter, Economic Development Director Foutz, Staff Planners Hitchcock, Prochazka, Reeves, Jacks, and Boyer, Assistant City Attorney Nemcik, Assistant Development Manager George, Transportation Planner Fogle, Development Manager Ruiz, Assistant City Manager Brown, Assistant City Engineer Gibbs, and Staff Assistant Hazlett. 1. Consideration, discussion, and possible action regarding the City's Strategic Plan and an overall work plan for the Planning and Zoning Commission. Chairman Shafer opened the public hearing at 12 noon. Glenn Brown stated that input from the Commission is being sought regarding development related issues and core services prior to going before the City Council for consideration. City Planner Kee explained the two documents given to the Commissioners regarding Development Services on -going projects and issues that point to the Strategic Plan and the department's own core services. Commissioner White clarified with Staff that this workshop meeting is different from the workshop meeting Commissioner Nichols requested for a separate workshop specifically for the strategic planning of the Planning and Zoning Commission. Jeff Kersten, Director of Strategic Planning, Budgeting, and Finance gave the Commission an overview of the City's Strategic Plan. He explained that the City Council has used the strategic plan process for the past five years to identify the key priorities for the next year to make decisions regarding the city's overall priorities and long -range vision. The framework is created to assist the City Council in developing the priorities, which also drive the budget process and utilization of the city's resources. The City Council spends time identifying overall mission for the city and advancing the quality of life for the community. The strategic plan is broken into four sections; core services, parks and leisure, planning and development, and economic development. The priorities are then worked into the budget process. P &Z Special Workshop Minutes August 23, 2004 Page 1 of 4 shazlett Today's meeting is to gain additional feedback from the Planning and Zoning Commission for consideration by the City Council. Commissioner White asked Staff to describe a best practice development and if it is a formalized process that is desired. Ms. Ruiz stated that the Blue Ribbon Committee will help to define that. Assistant City Manger Brown explained that there is no terminology that defines what a best practice is, rather it is more about external users of the system either in College Station or around the state and what their opinion of the services are and how they view our development review process. Economic Development Director Foutz read the information given to the Blue Ribbon Committee about the attributes of a best practice. City Planner Kee stated that it may include a very good streamlined process. Ms. Ruiz interjected that the City has won an award for its Comprehensive Plan and that could be considered a benchmark for best practice. Commissioner Davis expressed concern about the lateness of the August 19, 2004 Planning and Zoning Commission meeting due to the interest of the community directly affected by the changes that were proposed. He hopes that with such a strong reaction of the community that it sends up a red flag that something did or did not happen that could have been done better and that the Commission will take that experience and apply it to their learning process so these types of problems might be avoided in the future. He added that transportation issues and connectivity are becoming important issues as new development occurs. Commissioner White interjected that a proactive approach toward the developers with phased subdivisions should be considered. Transportation Planner Fogle stated that much of the major arterial systems in terms of impact fees are built by the city. Minor arterials are fairly neighborhood driven. Assistant City Attorney Nemcik added that the City accesses impact fees only if there is a special benefit to the property. It is an appraisal process and most likely is for undeveloped property or property opened for a subdivision. Graduate Civil Engineer Thompson pointed out that Staff has discussed amending the Subdivision Regulations by requiring the number of ingresses and egresses according to the number of lots. Commissioner Fedora added that it places a burden on the developer to have to build a road that is not usable or used for some time. Commissioner Nichols said that if the City wants a Thoroughfare Plan laid out, they should be willing to do bonds or create funds in order to do so. Further discussion ensued. Mr. Brown introduced Alan Gibbs, Assistant City Engineer for Development Services. Development Director Dunn stated that he was pleased to receive the comments gained through the public hearing process. He stated that the City's responsibility is to inform the public to gain valuable dialog through the responses received that will help Staff facilitate the projects and cases. He was impressed with the way the articulate testimony with how the meeting went and viewed this as a best practice. Commissioner White agreed, stating that is was a very healthy exercise for the Commissioners. Commissioner Nichols added that the process of motions was legitimate. Ms. Ruiz stated that the best place to have these kinds of discussions was during the Comprehensive Plan Amendment stage rather than during the rezoning of the property. This core service of Development Services keeps staff readied when these types of cases and issues arise. P &Z Special Workshop Minutes August 23, 2004 Page 2 of 4 shazlett Commissioner Davis said that the City should be proactive in completing the bikeway /pedestrian connectors. Commissioner Nichols concurred. Transportation Planner Fogle interjected that a meeting is scheduled for August 31, 2004 to discuss the implementation of the bikeway plan, greenways, and connectivity. Chairman Shafer said that a strategic plan should be determined in order to flesh -out how the Commission wants to influence property in the future. Commissioner White added that a well thought -out Thoroughfare Plan should be advocated in order to create easy access around and throughout the City. He pointed out that the City of Bryan has identified land that can be used as the northern arch of a loop around Bryan /College Station. He suggested perhaps considering doing the same for College Station. Commissioner Davis stated that the County should develop a thoroughfare plan as well with all the developments going on in the ET). Mr. Dunn stated that this is to be done through the NPO. Commissioner White reiterated that a proactive approach should be taken to getting this accomplished. Commissioner White asked Staff if the Commission was on target in addressing and resolving the issues. Ms. Kee and Ms Ruiz stated that they were on most of the issues. Chairman Shafer expressed concern regarding big box developments and designs and tree preservation. The Commission also discussed Landscape requirements, landscaping as a central part of the City's appearance, and on -site code enforcement. Comments from Commissioner Davis regarding better aesthetics for neighborhood subdivisions was the springboard for further discussion regarding subdivision phases, collectors, overlay districts, and privacy fencing. In addition, Commissioner White asked Staff to address neighborhood associations and their involvement. Neighborhood Services Facilitator /Staff Planner Elrod -Jacks explained the Neighborhood Partnership Program, Historic Preservation, Citywide associations, and the goals, objectives and services of the Neighborhood Services Program. The September 23, 2004 Joint P &Z and City Council meeting was announced. Issues regarding overlay districts, land uses, and Comprehensive Plan issues will be discussed. Assistant City Manager Brown explained that properties can not be down - zoned. However, as a higher use is envisioned and if the current use is not the best, down - zoning can occur in accordance with the overall plan. City Planner Kee reported that Staff is working on preparing an addendum to the UDO to depict how property is zoned and its current use and whether it's developed or vacant. A discussion regarding commercial properties, deterioration of perpetually failing businesses, and shared access ensued. Commissioner Nichols stated that he would like to see the City Council look interfacing between planned development the connectivity and the Thoroughfare Plan. In addition, impact fee assessments and a tree ordinance were briefly discussed. Chairman Shafer concurred. He added that he would like to look more closely at the drainage and subdivision regulations and the relationship of the DRB (Design Review Board) and Planned Development and how a site develops. Further discussion regarding the Thoroughfare Plan ensued. P&Z Special Workshop Minutes August 23, 2004 Page 3 of 4 shazlett It was decided that the Commission would hold other special workshops to isolate and discuss particular issues.

(04 -193) Graduate Civil Engineer Thompson pointed out the bike plan utilizing the easement, pointing out that the Subdivision Regulations speaks about an access -way being 10 feet of platted right -of -way. According to the Preliminary Plat, the Developer would need to shift lot lines to accomplish that. Mr. Thompson would like to speak to the developer to see if he is amicable to doing that. Commissioner Nichols expressed interests in the connectivity issues for the area, stating that it would seem logical for all the residents in that area to be able to hike and bike through a pedestrian access - way to the future hike and bikeway along the Gulf State Utilities property. He assumed the developer might see this as an amenity to provide access to Lick Creek Park. Consideration of the conditions and options of the preliminary plat regarding access -way were discussed. Commissioner Nichols motioned to approve the preliminary plat with the recommendation for staff to work with the developer to provide an access - way that meets the City's standards for a hike and bike path between the end of one of the cul -de -sacs and the back property line, ultimately to connect with the Gulf States Utilities Right -of -Way.

(04 -177) Graduate Civil Engineer Thompson presented the Staff Report, recommending approval of the request for the variance and the replat. The ordinance requires that when a replat is submitted for a lot where the original subdivision was created before July 15, 1970 and the replat creates a new lot, that all lots shown on the lot must meet the following two criteria: • All lots must meet or exceed the average width of the lots in the block, and • All lots on the plat must contain a minimum of 8,500 square feet. Mr. Thompson reported that numerous properties in the area have been resubdivided over the years. In addition, the variance request is for both provisions contained in the ordinance, lot width and lot area. The Land Use Plan shows the Richards Subdivision as single - family residential, high density. The lots meet the requirements of the R -1 zoning district. Chairman Shafer opened the public hearing. Since no one spoke, Chairman Shafer closed the public hearing. Commissioner Nichols motioned to approve the variance request based on the findings of Section 5 of the Subdivision Regularions, 5 -A.1, 5 -A.2, 5 -A.3, and 5.A -4. Commissioner Davis seconded the motion. A brief dicussion followed regarding other lots following suit and the traffic flow of the neighborhood. Mr. Thompson explained that the density for the R -1 zoning district is less than that of an R -4 zoning district and therefore, is not an issue. Commissioner Nichols asked if notices for the variance request and replat were given. Mr. Thompson confirmed that they were and that a public hearing sign was posted on the property and a legal ad posted in the newspaper. Chairman Shafer felt that this replat was a natural for the area in it's stage of redevelopment over time with a mix of elderly and students. Chairman Shafer called the question. The motion to approve the variance request carried 4 -0. Commissioner Davis motioend to approve the replat, which was seconded by Commissioner Fedora. The motion carried 4 -0. 7.

(04 -183) Staff Planner Hitchcock presented the Staff Report. Staff recommends approval of the rezoning with the condition that any FEMA- designated floodplain remains A -O. The request is to continue the single - family residential development of Pebble Creek. The subject tract is surrounded by undeveloped lands and Lick Creek Park. The request is in compliance with the Land Use Plan with the exception of some land at the perimeter, which is identified as Floodplain /Streams. Discussion regarding the A -O requirements and the city's request in keeping the greenways classified as such. Ms. Hitchcock added that the parkland dedication requirement has been met and that that applicant has expressed an interest in developing a private park area. Chairman Shafer opened the public hearing. Jessica Jimmerson, representing Mr. Davis Young, Pebble Creek Development, spoke in favor of the rezoning. She stated that there is a need in the area for a park and that Mr. Davis wants to provide that amenity. In addition, she stated that Mr. Davis was not aware of the A -O recommendation for the floodplain area and requested that it be zoned R -1, Single Family instead, which would give him more flexibility in his layout design. Further discussion about the greenways and the A -O designation ensued, followed by a brief discussion regarding hike and bike trails. Transportation Planner Fogle stated that one is planned to go through Alum Creek but nothing more is planned at this time. Anna Elliot, Crestwick Court, expressed concerns regarding flooding. Chairman Shafer explained that this concern and others would be addressed at the time of platting. Chairman Shafer closed the public hearing. Commissioner Davis motioned to approve the rezoning as recommended by staff, leaving the floodplain designation as A -O. Commissioner Nichols seconded the motion. The motion carried 4 -0. FOR: Shafer, Davis, Nichols, and Fedora. AGAINST: None. ABSENT: White, Hooton, and Reynolds 8.

(04 -187) City Planner Kee's presented the Staff Report regarding the Annual Review of the Comprehensive Plan. In her opening reports, Ms. Kee explained that when the UDO was adopted in 2003, the City committed to making the development ordinance a living document. To honor that commitment, a stipulation was added that provides for the annual review of the City's Comprehensive Plan and UDO. She pointed out the major categories of land use, examining what is planned versus zoned, whether there is compliance with the Comprehensive Plan and what is zoned and vacant, and thus available for development. She stated that the analysis would serve as a starting point for a future discussion of possible City initiated rezonings. P &Z Minutes /shazlett September 2, 2004 Page 4 of 6 Development Manager Ruiz presented the Staff report regarding the Annual Review of the UDO (Unified Development Ordinance), honoring the commitment made to keeping the UDO a living document. Ms. Ruiz stated that many of the proposed amendments are clerical in nature and that over the last year, Staff has identified several editing discrepancies and minor clarifications or corrections. She added that Staff has solicited input from the community for several months and pointed out that once a revised draft of the UDO was prepared, it was posted on the City's website for public input, where staff received several comments. In addition, Staff hosted a UDO Community Work Session on July 27, 2004 to review the proposed changes and solicit further input. Ms. Ruiz briefly summarized the amendments approved throughout the past year as well as those being considered for future amendments. Following her report, a discussion regarding SOB's (Sexually Oriented Businesses) ensued. Ms. Ruiz pointed out the current regulations and how and where the alternative sites were determined in order to comply with federal case law. Also, the buffering requirements were explained. City Attorney Cargill explained that the requirement is protected by the 1s Amendment of the Constitution and is very restrictive. He stated that the recommendation is constitutionally survivable. Ms. Ruiz interjected that it is a painstaking process that will be reviewed on a regular basis as the city continues to develop and annex areas. Chairman Shafer opened the public hearing. Jessica Jimmerson, Westwood Main, commended the staff on the update. She suggested having an open discussion at a future community development meeting. She stated that having these areas pointed out adds to additional concerns of property adjacent to these sites. City Attorney Cargill stated that this could be handled by deed restrictions. Chairman Shafer dosed the public hearing.

(04- 191 Sr) Graduate Civil Engineer Thompson presented the Staff Report, stating that the public hearing was required because this item involved a replat of 3 lots in the Bald Prairie Subdivision which has access to Renee Lane at this time. He reported that the subdivision will include a collector that will eventually tie into future State Highway 40 and connect to Renee Lane. Additionally, the development is along an existing park and is an extension of Edelweiss Gartens. All the Tots are being developed as R- 1 Single Family. He pointed out the location of the grade separation and the future State Highway 40. Commissioner Davis clarified that the parkland dedication is being added to the existing park and the intent is to provide access to the park from Victoria Avenue. In addition, Haines Court is the only area that is shown with a zero lot line. A maintenance easement has been worked out with Building Code Enforcement through the Fire Department and Development Services. No flammable materials will be stored under the eaves of neighboring homes. The east/west collector and access situation was addressed. Chairman Shafer opened the public hearing. Steve Arden, 311 Cecelia Loop, the tract developer, stated that the replat conforms to the masterplan. He explained that the zero lot line development is a dynamic process in the last year or two that is logical in effect. The main difference is that the information is placed on the plat now and known from then on and is the proper way to do it. Chairman Shafer closed the public hearing.

Consideration, discussion, and possible action on a Development Plat for the Paterson Estates consisting of 1 lot on 20 acres located at 2192 Bradley Road. (04 -202 ST) Graduate Civil Engineer Thompson presented the Staff Report. Mr. Thompson stated that a development plat was instituted in the UDO for properties not under the subdivision regulations. It is required under Article 3 of the UDO. The property owners are seeking to construct a new, slab on grade, wood -frame home to replace the existing manufactured home. A Development Plat basically depicts existing and proposed structures and on -site and adjacent property information. It must also conform to the City's Comprehensive Plan, current and future City facilities, and extension of infrastructure. A Development Plat allows the City to require dedication or construction of infrastructure to comply with the Comprehensive Plan. This plat is in compliance with the Comprehensive Plan. The subject property is located on Bradley Road near the Carter Lake community. Bradley is a County Road. Water service to the subject property is by the Wellborn SUD in the Wellborn certificated area (CCN). The Applicant is requesting a variance to the requirement to extend the public water supply to provide a fire hydrant. Compliance with this provision would require that a new water line be extended from Rock Prairie Road; approximately 3,000 feet. The Construction Board approved the variance for this item at their meeting on 9/13/04. The recommendation from City staff, Fire and Building, to the Board regarding the variance was for approval with the condition that the existing mobile home be removed after construction of the new home. In some cases, an applicant requesting such a variance is required to install a residential fire sprinkler system in the new home. However, no sprinkler system would be required in this case. The applicant can begin construction if approved by the Commission. After explaining how the City would monitor conditions placed on a variance through the issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy, Commissioner Davis motioned to approve the variance as submitted by Staff. Commissioner Reynolds seconded the motion. The motion carried 7 -0. FOR: Shafer, Davis, Fedora, Hooton, Nichols, Reynolds, and White. AGAINST: None. 8. Public hearing, discussion, and possible action on a Rezoning for the Leschper property, 5.1 acres located at the northwest corner of Alexandria Avenue and Barron Road, from A-O Agricultural -Open to R -1 Single Family Residential. (04 -207 3P) Staff Planner Prochazka presented the Staff Report, stating that the applicant is requesting the rezoning in order to subdivide the property into two lots. Staff recommends approval of the rezoning. The City of College Station has a portion of the property under contract for the relocation of Fire Station No. 3, which is a P &Z Minutes /shazlett September 16, 2004 Page 3 of 6 permitted use in this zoning district. The remaining half of the property will be used as a single family residence. The Land Use Plan designates this property as Single Family Medium Density and is in compliance with the Comprehensive Plan. The Thoroughfare Plan designates Alexandria Avenue as a Minor Collector and Barron Road as a Minor Arterial. Chairman Shafer opened the public hearing. Because no one spoke, he closed the public hearing. Commissioner Davis motioned to approve the Rezoning. Commissioner White seconded the motion. The motion carried 7 -0. FOR: Shafer, Davis, Fedora, Hooton, Nichols, Reynolds, and White. AGAINST: None. 9. Public hearing, discussion, and possible action on a Replat of the L.O. Ball Memorial Subdivision Phase 2, Lot 8, Block 3 consisting of 61ots on 2.748 acres located at the intersection of Birmingham Drive and Longmire Drive. (04 -214 CC) This subject property is located on the corner of Longmire and Birmingham Drives. The applicant is proposing to subdivide the existing 2.748 -acre lot into 6 lots. Each of the lots will be approximately Y/2 acre. Public water and sanitary sewer mains will be extended with the Replat, which is in compliance with the City's Subdivision Regulations and the Unified Development Ordinance (UDO). She stated that the Land Use Plan shows this area to be Regional Retail while the current zoning of the property is designated as C -1 and C -2. The property has frontage on Longmire Drive, a Major Collector on the City's Thoroughfare Plan, and on Birmingham Drive that is designated as a Minor Collector. In order to comply with the UDO, access from Longmire and Birmingham Drives will be limited to a shared access easement between Lots 8A and 8F and one between Lots 8D and 8E. An intemal access easement is provided for access to additional lots. Staff recommends approval of the Replat as submitted. Ms. Cotter clarified that the replat will meet the requirements of the driveway ordinance. She added that a variance request has been granted for this property through the provision provided for in the UDO. Commissioner Nichols asked if six small commercial businesses were being planned for the lots. Ms. Cotter stated that six were possible but that two or three of the lots may be consolidated to make for larger Tots and that the market will determine how to reconfigure this. Commissioner Nichols stated that the shared access is a good idea and will work. Chairman Shafer opened the public hearing. No one spoke. Therefore, Chairman Shafer closed the public hearing. Commissioner Nichols motioned to approve the replat, which was seconded by Commissioner Davis. The motion carried by a vote of 7 -0. FOR: Shafer, Davis, Fedora, Hooton, Nichols, Reynolds, and White. AGAINST: None. 10. Public hearing, discussion, and possible action on an Ordinance amending the Unified Development Ordinance regarding Non - Residential Architectural Standards and Site Requirements. (04 -169 3K) City Planner Kee presented the Staff Report. When this item was presented at the last workshop, Staff received positive comments with the direction to include flexibility for buildings under 5,000 square feet. Additionally, the City Council P &Z Minutes /shazlett September 16, 2004 Page 4 of 6 considered the item in a workshop session on August 26, 2004 and gave direction to move forward. It was requested that notice be given to the building community, registered Home Owners Associations and Citizen University graduates for comments. Ms. Kee reported that a presentation and discussion was held with the BLDF (Business and Land Development Forum) on September 8, 2004 and that many comments received from that meeting have been incorporated into the ordinance. Ms. Kee explained that the design standards set forth in the proposed ordinance would apply to non - residential buildings located in any zoning district with the exception of the M -1, M -2, and R &D districts. She added that the ordinance also expands the variance authority for the Design Review Board (DRB). The Commission discussed a number of issues including the cost implications for the individual small developer, bike racks, and if it would prove to be a deterrent to new businesses. Economic Development Director Foutz stated that a baseline is being set and that she did not see anything in the ordinance that would deter future businesses from coming to College Station. Chairman Shafer opened the public hearing. Bob Ruth, 3131 Briarcrest Drive, Suite 112, spoke of the impact that the ordinance would have on his creativity and the freedom to express his artistic ability as a landscape architect as well as that of others in his field and other areas of expertise that require individuality. Larry Haskins, 1700 East George Bush Drive, presented his thoughts on the proposed ordinance. Don Jones, 804 Berry Creek, ; President of the BLDF (Business and Land Development Forum) reported concerns and opinions of the board. Steve Arden, 311 Cecelia Loop, expressed concerns about institutionalizing these types of decisions to protect the status quo, when these change every 3 -5 years. Joe Schultze, 3208 Innsbrook Circle, stated that there hasn't been ample time allowed to read and consider the full grasp of these recent changes. He encouraged the Commission to take time to think this proposal through because it will have a huge impact on the developers in the community. Sherry Ellison, 2705 Brookway Drive, commented on the need for both control and freedom of creative architecture. Veronica Morgan, 511 University Drive East, stated that she is currently working on a project that would not comply with the proposed ordinance and asked about the deadline for doing so under the current code before the proposed ordinance is passed. Chairman Shafer closed the public hearing. Discussion regarding the efficiency of land use ensued relative to parking and landscaping. Ms. Kee reiterated that the mechanism to move forward with a project under this ordinance is in place. She added that Staff's intent is to establish a minimum composition for the larger developments. P &Z Minutes /shazlett September 16, 2004 Page 5 of 6 Commissioner White motioned to table the item pending additional input and tweaking from the impacted community and to allow ample time for review. Commissioner Reynolds seconded the motion. Chairman Shafer concurred saying that many good points were made by those who spoke. He also agreed that a good base line is needed, especially in regards to big - box developments. Commissioner White called the question. The motion to table the ordinance amending the Unified Development Ordinance regarding Non - Residential Architectural Standards and Site Requirements carried by a unanimous vote of 7 -0.

(04 -169) Kim Foutz, Director of Economic Development, gave an overview of the proposed Non - Residential Standards Ordinance and the summary of changes. Ms. Foutz reiterated to the Commission that they are going to need to go back and look at the Redevelopment Overlay because even as the current Ordinance exists today, without the new standards there are some redevelopment projects that cannot meet the current requirements. She stated the overall goal it to encourage people to redevelop their property. P&Z Minutes October 7, 2004 Page 1 of 3 Ms. Foutz asked the Commission for specific input on excluding restaurants from having to have complementary colors and materials.

Planning and Development Services Director, Joey Dunn told the Commission that there have been a number of changes to this document from communications with the Building Land and Development Forum and the development community. Chairman Schafer opened the public hearing. Larry Haskins, 1700 George Bush Drive East Ste 240, stepped before the Commission. Mr. Haskins discussed the proposed ordinance and questioned should the Ordinance be applicable to the Northgate Districts. Topics of concern: • Traffic Impact Analysis scope, size and cost • Parking Lots Commissioner Davis asked about the Ordinance being applicable to Northgate. Ms. Foutz stated that currently the Northgate Ordinance is being updated. They purposefully did not allow Northgate in this Ordinance amendment because within the next month they will start taking public input and bring that separate Ordinance to the Commission Transportation Planner, Ken Fogle stepped before the Commission to make clarification that Dr. Joe Blashke, a local traffic engineer, recommended two changes for the Traffic Impact Analysis section. • Change the scope • The "scope" area will be defined at a pre- submission consultation meeting. Mr. Haskins implored that the following comment by the Blue Ribbon Committee be considered. "Actively involve the development community (civil engineers, developers and others who are well versed as to where the problem points exist). The "regulated have to be regulated, but it's unwise to view cynically their input as self - serving and unworthy or serious consideration. Stakeholders should be brought in at the earliest possible stages of ordinance formation ". Veronica Morgan, 511 University Drive Ste 204, stepped before the Committee requesting clarification to the Traffic Impact Analysis. Jessica Jimmerson, local Planning Consultant, stepped before the Commission and reiterated Mr. Haskins concerns.

Applicant: Wallace Phillips, Developer and Agent for Spring Creek CS Development Ltd. Staff Recommendations: Staff recommends approval of the Preliminary Plat with conditions as stated in Staff Review Comments #2. Item Summary: The Spring Creek Townhomes Preliminary Plat has been previously approved by the Commission. This revision is to accommodate adjacent development, Spring Creek Gardens, by the same Owner/ Developer. The subject property is zoned PDD with meritorious modifications as noted on the plat. Phase 1 is existing along with Common Area #2. Decatur is currently constructed to the subject site through Shenandoah 8 -B. Arrington is currently constructed to the Spring Hill intersection. This project received prior approval for individual unit sanitation service in lieu of consolidated dumpster pick -up. The UDO states: "Single- family developments with a lot width of less than 50', not served by approved, accessible alleys, shall provide the required pad and screening for one eight -yard dumpster per sixteen dwelling units." In addition, prior approval is still in effect for Lots 25 and 26 of Block 2 to be constructed as Townhomes, being 2 adjacent lots in lieu of 3 -12, as required by the UDO and Lot 29 Block 2 having a lot width of 22.89 in lieu of 24 -ft. Comprehensive Plan Considerations: Land Use Plan: Shown as Single- family, Residential, High Density Thoroughfare Plan: Decatur and Arrington are both classified as Major Collectors Parkland Dedication: Parkland is being met with a proposed park to the southeast. The tract appears on the Vicinity Map on the Plat. Open Space Dedication: Open Space is being dedicated to the HOA. Compliance with Preliminary Plat There is an overall Preliminary Plat for the Crowley Tract. This plat is in compliance with the approved "Overall" Preliminary Plat. Bikeways: Decatur and Arrington will have bike lanes. Budgetary & Financial Summary: Oversize Participation is noted as being requested for the construction of Decatur and 12 -in waterline. OP requests are required to have a Development Agreement approved by Council Related Advisory Board Recommendations: Parks Board: Approved a 5 -acre park for the Crowley Tract. A portion of the park has been dedicated by separate instrument in compliance with the Subdivision Regulations. Commission Action Options: The Commission has final authority over the final plat. The options regarding the final plat are: • Approve as submitted or with conditions • Denial • Defer or table action at applicant's request Supporting Materials: 1. Location Map 2. Application 3. Aerial 4. Infrastructure and Facilities 5. Copy of Preliminary Plat 6. Staff Review Comments #2 INFRASTRUCTURE AND FACILITIES Water required for plat: The waterline along Decatur and Arrington is shown on the Water improvements portion of the Comprehensive Plan. Domestic and fire flows for the Subdivision are required to meet City design standards. Water Service: Domestic water service is required to all platted lots. Sewer required for plat: The City Council approved a needs resolution for easements to accommodate the Lift Station #1 gravity line project. The sewer line will be constructed along Whispering Creek Court to the Spring Creek Sewer Trunkline. This line will allow Lift Station #1 to be taken out of service. The line will eventually allow Lift Stations #2 and #3 to be turned from Carter's Creek WV TP to Lick Creek WWTP. Sewer Service: Domestic sewer service is required to all platted lots. Street(s) required for plat: Decatur and Arrington are required to be constructed per the Thoroughfare Plan. Streets /Access: Whereas, the UDO was changed to read: "Minor Collector: No single - family dwelling, townhouse, or duplex shall take direct access to minor collector streets except when permitted by the Subdivision Regulations ", the UDO was not changed in regard to Major Collectors. Therefore, no such access is permitted to Arrington and/ or Decatur. Off-site Easements required for plat: Phases of this project are dependent on the City sewerline project from Lift Station #1. Therefore, in order to proceed to Final Plat for these phases, the easement, as required by City Council, and the sewer line must be in place. Drainage: The subject property was included in a master drainage plan which resulted in the detention pond located on Tract 1 -D. Drainage from the site will predominately be directed into the pond. Flood Plain: The current FEMA regulatory floodplain is shown on the plat. The project received a CLOMR and a Corp of Engineers permit to do stream improvements. The result of the stream improvements will allow the floodplain to be remapped. The proposed (future) floodplain is shown on the plat. However, until the LOMR is issued by FEMA, all lots shown in the current floodplain must comply with FEMA regulations for structures in a Special Flood Hazard Zone. Impact Fees: The project is in the 97 -01 Spring Creek Sewer Impact Fee Zone. Fees for single - family development are due at the time the plat is filed. STAFF REVIEW COMMENTS NO. 2 Project: SPRING CREEK TOWNHOMES (MPP) - 04- 00500215 ENGINEERING 1. The City Council has approved a Needs Resolution for Public Utility easements that affect this plat. These easements are required by Council in order to construct the sewer line from Lift Station #1 to the Spring Creek Sewer Line. The actual line size may differ from that shown on the plat. 2. According to the plat, Phase 4 is dependant on the aforementioned sewer line. The sewer line will need to be constructed before the phase can be platted. 3. All lots in the floodplain are required to meet FEMA and City ordinances regarding development and structures in Special Flood Hazard Areas. Until a LOMR is issued, the existing FEMA floodplain is in effect. BFEs on these lots are required to be shown on the Final Plat. Any fill in the fringe must comply with Technical Bulletin 10 -01 and documented as such. 4. Oversize Participation requests require a Development Agreement to be approved by Council. 5. Utilities are not approved "as shown" for this project. All utilities are to be designed in compliance with the Subdivision Regulations and the Unified Design Guidelines.

Applicant: Kerr Surveying, applicant for Lance & Karen Leschper, property owners Staff Recommendations: Staff recommends approval of the Final Plat. If the variance is denied, the Commission may still approve the Final Plat. Item Summary: The applicant is proposing to subdivide the property into two lots. Lot 1, being 2.664 acres, will continue to be used as a single family residence. The City of College Station has Lot 2, being 2.199 acres, under contract for the relocation of Fire Station No. 3, which is currently located on the Highway 6 Frontage Road. 0.246 acres is proposed as dedication for Barron Road right -of -way. The Unified Development Ordinance permits a Final Plat to be approved without filing a Preliminary Plat if all of the requirements of the Preliminary and Final Plat are complied with on the Final Plat. This plat has met this requirement. A copy of the Preliminary Plat has been included in your packet. The property owner has requested a variance to Section 10 of the Subdivision Regulations, Requirements for Park Land Dedication. Please see the attached letter from the property owner for justification for the variance. Although two separate variances were requested in the attached letter, the Planning & Zoning Commission may only consider and take action on the first request. The second request stated in the letter is a waiver to the livestock permitting process; the Planning & Zoning Commission has no discretion over this matter. The Subdivision Regulations Section 5 -A state that "The Commission may authorize a variance from the regulations when, in their opinion, undue hardship will result from requiring strict compliance. In granting a variance, the Commission shall prescribe only conditions that it deems not prejudicial to the public interest. In making the findings hereinbefore required, the Commission shall take into account the nature of the proposed use of the land involved, the existing used of the land in the vicinity, the number of persons who will reside or work in the proposed subdivision, the possibility that a nuisance will be created, and the probable effect of such variance upon traffic conditions and upon public health, convenience, and welfare of the vicinity. No variance may be granted unless the Commission finds: 5 -A.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; 5 -A.2 That the variance is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of a substantial property right of the applicant; 5 -A.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 5 -A.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 Land Use Plan designates this property and the surrounding area as Single - Family Medium Density. The current R -1 zoning is in compliance with the Comprehensive Plan. Alexandria Avenue is designated as a Minor Collector and Barron Road is designated as a Minor Arterial on the Thoroughfare Plan.

T . 0: City of Collcgc Station Planning and Zoning and Development Services From: Lance and Karen Leschper 1840 Barron Rd. College Station, TX 77845 Date: October 1, 2004 This letter requests two variances or wavers pertaining to the Barron Hill Subdivision, as follows: 1. We request a variance for the Parkland Dedication requirement placed on the Barron Hill Subdivision. 2, We request that our use of Lot 1 for livestock should be grandfathered in and further request the annual livestock use permitting and fee be waved. The justifications for these requests are as follows: 1. This property has only been rezoned and renamed to Barron 1 fill Subdivision to accommodate the City's request to purchase lot 2 for a new fire station. Lot 1 is already developed as a homc site. Lot 1 has changed in name only and no real change in use or development is planned at this time. 2. This land sale transaction is taking place in an attempt to be a cooperative citizen of College Station. 3. The above mentioned livestock- permitting requirement and lee generates no significant revenue for the city as is only a nuisance for us as the landowner. Sincere) , Lancc R. Leschper 0..Q_ kbaLLpiA Karen Leschper Regular Agenda 4 Variance and Revised Preliminary Plat Williams Creek Subdivision STAFF REPORT Project Manager: Spencer Thompson Date: October 18, 2004 Email: sthompson @cstx.gov Item: Public hearing, discussion, and possible action on a variance request in regard to Section 12 -K.2 Block Length of the Subdivision Regulations and a Revised Preliminary Plat for the Williams Creek Subdivision consisting of 112 Tots on 214 acres generally located at Rock Prairie Road and Greens Prairie Road. Applicant: Joe and Janet Johnson, Owners/ Developers Staff Recommendations: The Applicant is requesting the plat be approved as submitted. Topographic constraints on this site are numerous and have been taken into consideration in regard to the variance request. It appears to staff that the entryway, Lanham Drive, can be connected to Johnson Creek Loop through the area of Lots 31/32 of Phase 3 and Lots 42/43 of Phase 4 to thereby lessen the length of Block 1. Staff's recommends is to approve this plat with the condition the connection is made. If the variance is approved, the plat can be approved as submitted or with other conditions. Item Summary: The Williams Creek Preliminary Plat was previously approved with numerous variances (6/17/04). All variances are withstanding except for block length. Previously, the block length variance was approved as what was shown on the plat. The street and block arrangement are now revised to where the previous variance approval no longer applies. All other aspects of the plat are generally the same. The Final Plat for Phase 1 has been approved and is currently under construction. A copy of the previous Staff Report is attached. A Fire Flow Report was required with the Final Plat for Phase 1. According to the report, the water system for the Subdivision is capable of delivering fire flows as required. Commission Action Options: The Commission has final authority over the Final Plat. The options regarding the final plat are: • Approval with conditions or as submitted; • Denial if Plat does not meet Subdivision Regulations/ Variance not approved; Supporting Materials: 1. Location Map 2. Application 3. Aerial 4. Variance Request Letter 5. Copy of Preliminary Plat (overall) 6. Copy of Staff Report (previous) (Previous) STAFF REPORT Project Manager: Spencer Thompson Date: June 9, 2004 Email: sthompson @cstx.gov Item: Consideration, discussion, and possible action on Variance Requests to the Subdivision Regulations Sections; 12 -1.5 Half- Streets, 12 -1.11 Geometric Pavement Standards, 12 -K.1 General, 12 -J.2 Utility Easements, 12 -R.3 Sanitary Sewer Master Plan, and. Section 15 Ownership, and on a Preliminary Plat for Williams Creek Subdivision consisting of 111 Tots on 213.9 acres located at the southeast corner of Greens Prairie Road East and Rock Prairie Road. Applicant: Joe and Janet Johnson, Owners Staff Recommendations: Staff recommends approval of the Preliminary Plat conditioned on: • approval of variance requests, and • amending of plat to comply with Staff Review Comments No. 2. Item Summary: This item is for consideration of variance requests to the Subdivision Regulations and for a Preliminary Plat for Williams Creek Subdivision. The subdivision is proposed southeast of Greens Prairie Road East between Rock Prairie Road and Carter's Creek. The Preliminary Plat is being considered under the Subdivision Regulations Section 12, regarding rural subdivisions within the City Limits. The property is zoned A -OR, accordingly. The developer is requesting a number of variances as follows: • Section 12 -1.5 Half Streets — The Subdivision Regulations prohibit the platting of half streets. However, in this case the existing Rock Prairie Road is covered by an easement and the public currently has use of the entire roadway. This development will dedicate half of the ROW for a Major Collector. • 12 -1.11 Geometric Pavement Standards — The Subdivision Regulations allow for a maximum slope of 6% on a rural residential roadway. The applicant is requesting an 18% slope in one area and an 8% slope in another. • 12 -K.1 General - The Subdivision Regulations allow for a maximum block length of 1,500 feet in rural residential subdivision. The applicant is requesting to exceed the maximum allowed. • 12 -J.2 Utility Easements- The Subdivision Regulations require a minimum 20 foot Public Utility Easement. The applicant is requesting to reduce this width to 15 feet. • 12 -R.3 Sanitary Sewer Master Plan — The Subdivision Regulations require a Sewer Master Plan for a rural residential subdivision. The applicant is requesting a variance to this requirement. (Previous Staff Report, continued) • Section 15 Ownership — The Subdivision Regulations require that all infrastructure be dedicated to the City. Wellborn SUD is required by law to own their water system that serves their customers. Staff will address technical concerns with regard to the variance requests during the case presentation. The plat is proposing lots in excess of one acre with OSSF. The subdivision will provide access to Greens Prairie and Rock Prairie Roads. Rock Prairie Road is unimproved at this location. The water system is required to be designed and constructed in accordance with City Standards. A water design report is required to confirm fire flow capacity of the water system. Comprehensive Plan Considerations: Land Use Plan: Shown as single - family residential. Thoroughfare Plan: The Thoroughfare Plan shows Greens Prairie to be a Major Arterial and Rock Prairie to be a Major Collector. Parkland Dedication: The Parks Board met on April 20, 2004 and accepted fee in lieu of land dedication. . °II° . 011110 / 0. , gliavim fi ld;rifjor c qtrar ani tioltr i kIP/Ininviiia jb61 5, , i riiiiiiiiiiiliailligsoll:40„1/r, ' * voiliggi 4. 41, qinotalall L - .

IWN b4J1* Cj l 0 D Si% . ture and Title Date 2 „r : Williams Creek Subdivision Revised Preliminary Plat Justification for Variance Section 12 -K Blocks This section requires that block length shall not exceed 1,500' in rural subdivisions. Johnson Creek Loop exceeds the maximum block length allowed. Johnson Creek Loop has an interior block length of 4797 feet and an exterior block length of 4964 feet. The previously approved plan had an interior block length of 4285 feet and an exterior block length of 5526 feet. The Developer requests a variance to this requirement due to the topography of a portion of this property. The property adjacent to the floodplain in the proposed Williams Creek Subdivision rises from Elevation 206 to Elevation 286. The existing ground in this area ranges in slope from 5% to 30% with most of the area greater than 10 %. Connecting streets within Johnson Creek Loop have not been proposed because of the steep grade the connection streets would need to traverse. Reducing the block length by the addition of more connecting streets would require the construction of streets at grades which exceed the maximum design grade allowed. Sketches of the original plan and the revised plan are attached. The street alignment from the approved Preliminary Plat has been revised because the variance to increase the street grades was denied. The revised street alignment will allow the street to be constructed at the maximum allowable grade without the requirement for retaining walls along the street, which would have been required to construct the original street alignment at the maximum allowable grade. These retaining walls would have been necessary due to the street elevation being 10' to 12' below the existing ground for a portion of Johnson Creek Lane near where it was proposed to connect to Anderson Creek Lane, as shown on the previously approved Preliminary Plat. The Developer feels that the revised plan is not significantly different that the approved plan because the total length of street is almost the same (4966' vs. 4951'), the number of lots only increased by 1 (54 vs. 53), and the block lengths are similar. A.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; The special circumstance is the steep topography in the subdivision that limits the location and alignment of streets. It is not possible for streets to be constructed which do not exceed the maximum grade in some areas due to the existing steep grades. City Staff has recommended adding a connecting street from Johnson Creek Loop to Lanham Drive. The topography in this area would allow this street to be designed in accordance with City requirements; however, the Developer does not feel the addition of this street would be of any benefit to the City or the residents of the subdivision. Johnson Creek Loop provides two access points to Williams Creek Drive for the 54 residential lots along this street. Many subdivisions, particularly rural subdivisions, have more lots per access point than this proposed subdivision. The Subdivision Ordinance allows up to 24 lots on cul -de -sacs which have only one access point. The additional street would increase the future street maintenance requirements of the City. Other than providing a shorter, more direct route to Rock Prairie Road, what other benefit to the residents does the street provide? Until Rock Prairie Road is paved, traffic entering and exiting the subdivision will probably use Williams Creek Drive to Greens Prairie Road. A.2 That the variance is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of a substantial property right of the applicant; In order to develop the Subdivision as planned this variance is necessary so there will not be additional streets which must traverse the existing steep grades. Also, due to the unique existing topography along Johnson Creek Loop and the residential lots which have the floodplain acreage, the Developer feels that the residents along Johnson Creek Loop will prefer being secluded from the other areas of the subdivision. This seclusion would be lost for some of the area if the additional street is added. A.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; Granting this variance should not have any effect on the public health, safety, or welfare, or injurious to other property in the area. There are 2 access points for all lots along Johnson Creek Loop which will provide adequate access for all emergency service and maintenance vehicles. A.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. The surrounding land will still be able to develop in any manner acceptable to the City of College Station. The granting of this variance will not prevent the orderly subdivision of other land. All of the property surrounding this area is part of this development. i • o 0 v II , e iii • J Q U ■ N. N Y Y ! 1 st In Y m ? O {(� N U C, © J " , q o m z �O o) s.

Applicant: PHI -TON Investments, property owner Staff Recommendations: Staff recommends approval of the Preliminary Plat with the condition that the attached Staff Review Comments are addressed. If the variance requests are not approved, the Preliminary Plat must be denied as well. Item Summary: This item is for consideration of a Preliminary Plat for an R -1 Single - Family Residential development of just under 100 acres. This development will include the construction of two minor collectors. A pedestrian access way to the school property to the west is proposed. The applicant has proposed detention for this development on the adjacent property to the south, which is not yet platted. The property will have to be platted prior to the development of the detention facility. Section 8 -J.2 of the Subdivision Regulations requires that a single - family block length shall not exceed 1,200' in single - family residential subdivisions. The applicant has requested a variance to four (4) of the blocks in the subdivision. Please see the attached letter for variance requests and justifications. The following are the variances requested: Block 1 - 1,246' Because no more access points are permitted to Graham Road, Staff recommends approval of the variance request. Block 2 - 1244' Because of the proposed length of Block 1 and the limited purpose that a street through Block 2 would serve, Staff recommends approval of the variance request. Block 4 - 1,326' Because this Block is parallel to the school property and it is not likely that a street would continue through that property, and because of the addition of a pedestrian access way, Staff recommends approval of the variance request. Block 6 - 2,796' Staff contends that there may be opportunity and need for a street to connect to the adjacent property through Block 6 that would reduce the length of that block, therefore, Staff does not recommend approval of the variance request. The Subdivision Regulations Section 5 -A state that "The Commission may authorize a variance from the regulations when, in their opinion, undue hardship will result from requiring strict compliance. In granting a variance, the Commission shall prescribe only conditions that it deems not prejudicial to the public interest. In making the findings hereinbefore required, the Commission shall take into account the nature of the proposed use of the land involved, the existing used of the land in the vicinity, the number of persons who will reside or work in the proposed subdivision, the possibility that a nuisance will be created, and the probable effect of such variance upon traffic conditions and upon public health, convenience, and welfare of the vicinity. No variance may be granted unless the Commission finds: 5 -A.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; 5 -A.2 That the variance is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of a substantial property right of the applicant; 5 -A.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 5 -A.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 Preliminary Plat is in compliance with the Comprehensive Plan. The Land Use Plan shows the subject property and surrounding area as Single- Family Medium Density. Alexandria Avenue and Eagle Avenue are shown as minor collectors, and Graham Road is shown as a major collector on the Thoroughfare Plan. The Preliminary Plat is in compliance with the Master Plan that was approved by the Commission earlier this year and with all zoning restrictions. With the exception of the variances requested, the plat is also in compliance with the Subdivision Regulations. Item Background: The subject property was annexed into the City in 1993 and zoned A -O Agricultural Open at that time. The property was rezoned to R -1 Single - Family Residential earlier this year. A Master Plan of the property was also approved earlier this year. Budgetary & Financial Summary: Oversized Participation (OP) may be requested for upsizing the water line. Related Advisory Board Recommendations: The Parks Board recommended fee in lieu of land dedication. Commission Action Options: The Commission has final authority over the Preliminary Plat. The options regarding the final plat are: • Approval • Denial Supporting Materials: 1. Location Map 2. Aerial 3. Application 4. Variance request letter 5. Infrastructure and Facilities 6. Staff Review Comments # 2 7. Copy of Preliminary Plat INFRASTRUCTURE AND FACILITIES Water required for plat: Each lot is required to have public water service, as shown on the plat. Water Service: There is an existing 12" water main on the south side of Graham, a 12" main along Alexandria, and a 12" main along Eagle Avenue. Sewer required for plat: Each lot is required to have public sewer service, as shown on the plat. Sewer Service: There is an existing 18" sewer main on the south property line. The northwest portion of the subject property is in the 92- 01 Sewer Impact fee Area. Street(s) required for plat: All streets shown on plat are required for this subdivision. Streets /Access: The Thoroughfare Plan shows a minor collector street from the southwest corner of the tract connecting to Alexandria, then connecting to Eagle Avenue, then traversing the property to Graham Road toward the north. Off -site Easements required for plat: The proposed off -site drainage will require an easement from the property owner. Drainage: Drainage is to Lick Creek. According to the Drainage Ordinance, this development is not allowed to increase the 100 -year flood level, either upstream or downstream. Flood Plain: No floodplain appears on the subject property. A portion of the area proposed for detention is within the 100 -year flood plain. Oversize request: Oversize participation may be requested on for the water line. Impact Fees: The 2000 Update to the 92 -01 Impact Fee Area shows a strip of land along Graham Road on the subject property, approximately 170'x1400', in the impact fee area. The current fee is $232.04 per Living Unit Equivalent. Parkland Dedication Fees: The Parks Board recommended fee in lieu of land dedication. STAFF REVIEW COMMENTS NO. 2 Project: DOVE CROSSING (PP) - 04- 00500213 ENGINEERING 1. The fire flow analysis must provide a minimum 1,000 gpm to each hydrant. In addition, velocity is a component of the report and must be reported with the other data. 2. The sewer line along Graham Road is the 92 -01 Impact Fee Line approved by ordinance. The line was designed and constructed for a specific area as contained in the ordinance. All connections to the line and users in the Fee Area are required to pay the adopted impact fee rate. It appears approximately 20 Tots of Dove Crossing are in the Fee Area. In order to permit additional flow into the Fee Line a sewer analysis would have to confirm that there is adequate additional capacity in the line per the adopted Land Use Study of the Impact Fee Area. 3. Due to the previous comment, Note 10 can not be approved at this time. 4. The flood study should have BFEs associated with cross sections. The floodplain boundary should relate to this data. 5. Please note, the City is currently adopting new standards for street design and street construction. Minimum requirements will change when these standards are adopted.

SSA Signature��� / Date r.I:ii: 2„ Dove Crossing Subdivision Preliminary Plat Justification for Variance Section 8 -J.2 - Blocks This section requires that block length shall not exceed 1,200' in single- family subdivisions. The Developer requests a variance to this requirement. A.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; The special circumstance for Blocks 1 & 4 is that Alexandria Avenue must line up with Schaffer Road and Dove Crossing Lane is located one lot depth from the adjacent property so that a cul- de -sac is not needed. An additional street onto Graham Road is not necessary. Block 2 is only slightly longer than the 1,200' maximum, and it has a pedestrian accessway within the block. Also, the existing school does not need a street connection to this subdivision. Block 6 does not connect to the adjacent tract to the east because that tract will have access to Longmire Drive, and a connecting street could cause "cut- through" traffic from Longmire when this property is developed. A.2 That the variance is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of a substantial property right of the applicant; In order to develop the Subdivision as planned this variance is necessary. A.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; Granting this variance should not have any effect on the public health, safety, or welfare, or injurious to other property in the area since the lengths of Blocks 1, 2 & 4 barely exceed the maximum length requirement and Block 2 has a pedestrian access way within the block. Additional connecting streets through Block 6 could hinder future development plans of the adjacent property. A.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. The surrounding land will still be able to develop in any manner acceptable to the City of College Station. The granting of this variance will not prevent the orderly subdivision of other land. Additional connecting streets to Graham Road and /or the properties adjacent to Block 6 could impact the development of the surrounding land. Dove Crossing Subdivision Preliminary Plat — Requested Variances to Subdivision Regulations REQUESTED VARIANCES TO SUBDIVISION REGULATIONS & REASON FOR SAME: Section 8 -J.2 — Block Length This section requires that block length shall not exceed 1,200' in single - family residential subdivisions. The Developer requests a variance to this requirement to allow the block length to be increased to greater than 1,200' for Blocks 1, 2, 4 & 6. The length of each block as shown on the Preliminary Plat is as follows: Block 1 — 1,246' Block 2 — 1,244' Block 4 — 1,326' (Pedestrian accessway breaks the block into 742' and 584' sections). Block 6 — 2,796' Regular Agenda 7 Replat Eastmark Subdivision Phase 2 MEMORANDUM October 12, 2004 TO: Planning and Zoning Commission FROM: Carol Cotter, Graduate Civil Engineer Email: ccotter @cstx.gov SUBJECT: REPLAT for EASTMARK PHASE 2, BLOCK A, LOT 2 Item: Public hearing, discussion, and possible action on a Replat for the Eastmark Subdivision Phase 2, Block A, Lot 2 consisting of 2 lots on 1.74 acres located at the intersection of Southwest Parkway and Central Park Lane. (04- 00500204) Applicant: Kerr Surveying, Applicant for Schachterle Estate, Owner Staff Recommendations: Staff recommends approval of the Replat as submitted. Item Summary: This item is for consideration of a Replat of Lot 2, Block A of the Eastmark Subdivision Phase 2 located on the corner of Central Park Lane and Southwest Parkway. The applicant is proposing to subdivide the existing 1.74 -acre lot into 2 Tots. A public sanitary sewer main will be extended with the Replat. The Replat is in compliance with the City's Subdivision Regulations and the Unified Development Ordinance (UDO).

Applicant: Andrew A. Bernstein, Property Owner Staff Recommendations: Staff recommends approval of the rezoning. Item Summary: The applicant is requesting rezoning for possible redevelopment of the former Sonic restaurant site. A small portion of the subject property is currently zoned C -2 Commercial Industrial. The Sonic business was developed on portions of Lots 2, 3, 4, 15, 16 and 17. This rezoning would bring the entire site into a C -1, General Commercial zone. Comprehensive Plan Considerations: The Land Use Plan shows this area as Redevelopment. The property is located on University Drive, just east of Texas Avenue. The surrounding properties currently have predominantly general commercial uses. The property owner has tried consolidation of the properties in this area but has been unsuccessful. With the subject property being shown as redevelopment, a commercial use is appropriate for this site, therefore staff supports the rezoning request. This property is bound by University Drive to the north, which is classified as a major arterial on the Thoroughfare Plan. To the east the property is bound by the abandoned Egg Roll House restaurant that is zoned C -1 General Commercial. To the west the property is bound by the existing Pizza Hut which is zoned C -2 Commercial Industrial. To the south the property is bound by Poplar Street which is classified as a local residential street. Across Poplar Street the properties are single family homes and the former Adult Video Store, and are zoned as C -2 and C -1. Item Background: The subject property was annexed into the City of College Station City limits in March of 1939 and was platted in 1953. Commission Action Options: The Commission acts as a recommending body on the question of rezoning, which will be ultimately decided by City Council. The Commission options are: 1. Recommend approval 2. Recommend denial; 3. Table indefinitely; or, R: Ui TLTRIPZLTRIPROD1PZ20041P0010189. DOC Created on 9/21/2004 11 :08 AM 4. Defer action to a specified date.
