Services, Knife River and Big Creek Construction. The bid documents state that “Item 1 and
Item 2 will be awarded together, based on total low bid for both items.” Both Knife River and
Brazos Valley Services submitted the low bids of $632,250.00 for the two items. Big Creek
Construction submitted a bid that was higher. Brazos Valley Services submitted the low bid for
Item 3.
A tie breaker was administered through a lottery system to award the bid in the event of identical
low submittals. Staff recommended the contract for Item 1 and Item 2 be awarded to the vendor
selected in the tie breaker. Staff also recommended the contract for Item 3 be awarded to the low
bidder, Brazos Valley Services. Ty Elliott was selected to draw the winning bid resulting in the
selection of Brazos Valley Services.

Consent Agenda Item 2b
BVSWMA Scalehouse Addition Rejection of Bids
To: Glenn Brown, City Manager
From: Mark Smith, Director of Public Works
Agenda Caption: Presentation, possible action, and discussion regarding rejection of bid
proposals received from Bid Number 07-101 and Bid Number 08-02 for construction of a
scalehouse addition at the Rock Prairie Road Landfill.
Recommendation(s): Staff recommends rejection of bids for the BVSWMA Scalehouse
Addition Construction Project.
Summary: This project was for an addition to the existing scalehouse and entrance
ramps for the installation of a third scale. The addition was to enhance traffic flow, allow for
more efficient customer transactions, and also provide for a backup unit if a scale is out of
service for repair. On July 7, 2007, one bid was received in response to bid number 07-
101. The bid was well above available funding. Following the bid opening, the architect
reconfigured the project to lower the construction costs. The project was re-bid and on
October 31, 2007, four bids were received. Again, the low bidder was well above available
funding. A review of the individual components of the bids did not indicate specific areas of
unexpected costs but rather an overall escalation of construction costs over all trades.
The remaining operational life of the Rock Prairie Road Facility, combined with the high
costs, led staff to reevaluate the cost benefit of the project and identify other means to
improve transaction efficiencies. Staff intends to replace one scale that is prone to frequent
downtime and repairs with a scale purchased from Cardinal Scale Manufacturing. In
addition, a RF Tag system upgrade for the automated scale will be installed. These
modifications to the weigh station equipment will provide for faster transaction handling and
will help to reduce the bottleneck that occurs during peak operating hours. These upgrades
will be transferred and utilized at the Twin Oaks Facility in January 2010.
Budget & Financial Summary: Design fees for the project were $6,000. Funds for the
upgrades are budgeted and available in the BVSWMA Fund.

Fire Department Fees Update
To: Glenn Brown, City Manager
From: Robert Alley, Fire Chief
Agenda Caption: Presentation, possible action and discussion of the assessment of
fees for certain services provided by the Fire Department.
Recommendation(s): Staff recommends approval of the resolution.
Summary: The College Station Fire Department currently conducts fire inspection
tests for fire alarm and fire protection systems for certain occupancies such as day
care centers, foster homes, health care facilities, restaurants, apartments, hotels
and other commercial businesses throughout the city. Inspection tests are also
conducted on distribution systems such as natural gas, fuel tanks, fuel lines and fire
sprinkler systems. The fire department also provides transportation for emergency
medical services from inside the city limits and outside of the city limits. During the
Alternative Revenue review process it was determined that these fees needed to be
increased to meet the increased cost of providing this service. The City of Bryan has
increased their fees to be in alignment with this resolution. Notice of the increases
has been given to the effected contractors, there have been no negative comments
received. This resolution updates Resolution 09-09-2003-11.11 which was approved
on September 11th 2003.
Budget & Financial Summary: Fees collected will be used to continue to provide
these services within the approved fire department budget. In FY 07 approximately
$850,000 was collected for the Fire Department fees. These proposed fee changes
are projected to increase revenues by $380,000.

Consent Agenda Item 2d
Approval of a First Amendment to the Development Agreement with
Lonestar – College Station Golf Academy, Ltd
To: Glenn Brown, City Manager
From: David Gwin, Director of Economic and Community Development
Agenda Caption: Presentation, possible action and discussion regarding a proposed First
Amendment to the Development Agreement with Lonestar – College Station Golf Academy,
Ltd.
Recommendation(s): Staff recommends approval of the proposed First Amendment
to the Development Agreement as attached.
Summary: On December 14, 2007, the City Council approved a Development Agreement
with Lonestar- College Station Golf Academy, Ltd preparing the way for the development of
8.64 acres (Lots 2A & 2B) located along the frontage road of Earl Rudder Freeway and just
North of Horse Haven Lane. Further, one of the two lots released for development by this
action became the Gander Mountain development.
Under the existing Development Agreement, the owner was allowed to divide the subject
property into three lots, i.e. 2A, AB and 2C (see attached Final Plat), and defer the
dedication of right-of-way and construction of Appomattox Drive and the other
infrastructure until such time as only Lot 2C was developed. Lots 2A and 2B were released
for development.
The current owner has recently arranged to sell Lot 2C to TDG Management L.P., thus
triggering this proposed First Amendment to the Development Agreement. The amendment
and assignment of the development agreement and the development of Lot 2C will result in
the dedication and construction of Appomattox Drive and other infrastructure as identified in
the current agreement. Further, this First Amendment will require the new owner to
provide a financial guarantee to insure that the infrastructure is ultimately constructed if he
or she fails to construct them per the provisions of the new agreement.
Budget & Financial Summary: There are no direct costs to the City by entering into this
Development Agreement. Instead, the developer has provided a financial guarantee that
the identified infrastructure will be constructed upon development of the property.

will be provided at all signalized locations, as well as several other locations required to
maintain this access.
With the redevelopment of the Culpepper Plaza Shopping Center (now Central Station) and
the planned installation of the raised median along the applicable section of Texas Avenue,
there is likely to be significant traffic buildup on Harvey Road at the Texas Avenue signal.
Centro Properties, the owner of the shopping center, approached the City and TxDot about
the possibility of several improvements to safely improve access to the center and to
generally improve traffic flow in the immediate area.
As approved, the recommended improvements will add a directional left-turn opening in the
planned raised median on Texas Avenue and an additional travel lane on Harvey Road. This
will help to alleviate traffic buildup along Harvey Road, which is currently the likely path for
travelers southbound on Texas Avenue to access the Central Station shopping center.
Budget & Financial Summary: The total cost of the project is $223,268. Of that
amount, the City of College Station will pay no more than $92,891. Centro Properties will
pay $121,661 and any overages related to these improvements. TxDOT will pay $8,716,
which is the difference between the Development Agreement total amount and the
established project costs assumed by Centro Properties and the City.

Consent Agenda Item 2f
Advanced Funding Agreement with TxDOT for Roadway
Improvements to Harvey Road and Texas Avenue
To: Glenn Brown, City Manager
From: David Gwin, Director of Economic and Community Development
Agenda Caption: Presentation, possible action, and discussion on an Advance Funding
Agreement (AFA) with the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) in a total amount of
$223,268 to improve access to the Central Station shopping center and to improve general
traffic flow in the immediate area.
Recommendation(s): Contingent upon the approval of the associated Development
Agreement (also on this same agenda), staff recommends approval of the AFA in the
amount of $223,268 as attached. The City’s actual portion of this amount is an amount not
to exceed $92,891.
Summary: With the redevelopment of the Culpepper Plaza Shopping Center (now
Central Station) and the planned installation of the raised median along the applicable
section of Texas Avenue, there is likely to be significant traffic buildup on Harvey Road at
the Texas Avenue signal. Centro Properties, the owner of the shopping center, approached
the City and TxDOT about the possibility of several improvements to safely improve access
to the center and to generally improve traffic flow in the immediate area.
As identified in the attached AFA, the recommended improvements will add a directional
left-turn opening in the planned raised median on Texas Avenue and an additional travel
lane on Harvey Road. This will help to alleviate traffic buildup along Harvey Road, which is
currently the likely path for travelers southbound on Texas Avenue to access the Central
Station shopping center.
This item is part of a project prepared in response to Council direction at the September 27,
2007 Workshop Meeting of the City Council. The other component, the Development
Agreement, is a necessary antecedent to this Advanced Funding Agreement.
Budget & Financial Summary: The total cost of these enhancements is $223,268. The
total amount to be paid via “Local Participation,” i.e. by the City of College Station and
Developer, is $214,552. However, the City of College Station is only responsible for
providing $92,891 of that $214,552. State law requires the entire “Local Participation”
payment come from the City; therefore the Developer will provide the remaining $121,661
to the City prior to the City’s payment of the entire amount to the State.

Modification of the Note for the Santour Court Affordable Housing Development
To: Glenn Brown, City Manager
From: David Gwin, Director of Economic and Community Development
Agenda Caption: Presentation, discussion and possible action on a resolution approving a
modification and extension of the Note for the loan of HOME Investment Partnership
(HOME) Program funds for the Santour Court Housing Tax Credit development; and
authorization for the Mayor to sign the resolution.
Recommendation(s): Staff recommends approval of the Modification and Extension of
Note Agreement, which will modify the existing Note by changing the interest due from
0.0% to 4.3%, or the applicable federal rate at the time the loan is funded for the first
fifteen (15) years of the loan.
Summary: On September 13, 2007 the City Council unanimously approved a resolution
(#09-13-2007-2k) approving a contract for the loan of $500,000 in HOME Investment
Partnership Grant funds (Contract #08-016) for the Santour Court Housing Tax Credit
development. This proposed residential development was submitted in response to RFP
#07-06. The development is to be located on Santour Court, south of Eagle Avenue
between Renee Lane and Lienz Lane, in Edelweiss Gartens Phase 7 Subdivision. The
developer is Mr. Emanuel Glockzin of Homestead Development Group, Ltd., acting on behalf
of Santour Court, Ltd. The development consists of sixteen (16) four-bedroom, brick, single-
family, affordable rental homes financed with Housing Tax Credits, private loan funds,
developer equity, and the City’s HOME Investment Partnership Program funds.
The original agreement specified that the loan was a zero percent (0%)-interest loan for a
period of 40 years. In an effort to be consistent with all applicable Housing Tax Credit
funding requirements, the developer has requested a modification to the note allowing for it
to bear interest at a rate of 4.3%, or the applicable federal rate at the time the loan is
funded, compounded annually until 2025. Principal and interest payments will be due on
December 31, 2047, with an option to extend the maturity date for twelve more years, with
additional interest.
Budget & Financial Summary: The funding from the City's HOME Investment Partnership
Grant is $500,000, structured as a long-term loan and repaid to the City at the end of the
40-year Housing Tax Credit affordability period. Funding was approved by the City Council
in the Fiscal Year 2007-2008 Community Development One-Year Plan of Action and Budget.
This note amendment will result in expected total proceeds to the City of $1,022,829 at
maturity; $500,000 in principal, and $522,829 in interest.

U-turn Prohibitions at the Texas Avenue and Harvey Road intersection
To: Glenn Brown, City Manager
From: Mark Smith, Director of Public Works
Agenda Caption: Presentation, possible action, and discussion on consideration
of an ordinance amending Chapter 10, “Traffic Code,” Section 2(N) of the Code of
Ordinances of the City of College Station to prohibit u-turns for northbound traffic on
Texas Avenue at the intersection of Harvey Road.
Recommendation(s): Staff recommends approval of the ordinance.
Summary: This item will amend Chapter 10, “Traffic Code,” by prohibiting u-turns
for northbound traffic on Texas Avenue at the intersection of Harvey Road.
Currently, the Texas Department of Transportation has restricted u-turns for
northbound Texas Avenue traffic at the Harvey Road intersection to improve safety.
The intersection was not designed with a left turn lane to separate the u-turning
traffic from the through traffic, nor was a separate left turn signal installed.
Without the restriction, vehicles will attempt a u-turn from the inside through lane.
As this vehicle waits for an acceptable opening in southbound traffic, the queue of
cars behind him will increase, resulting in an increased potential of a rear-end
collision.
The Police Department had problems with this intersection until TxDOT installed the
NO UTURN signs. The signs prohibiting u-turns will be removed by TxDOT once the
construction of Texas Avenue is complete.
Budget & Financial Summary: The “No U-turn” signs are planned operation and
maintenance expenses accounted for in the Public Works Traffic Operation budget.

University Widening AFA
To: Glenn Brown, City Manager
From: Mark Smith, Director of Public Works
Agenda Caption: Presentation possible action and discussion of a resolution authorizing
the Mayor to execute an Advance Funding Agreement (AFA) with THE TEXAS DEPARTMENT
OF TRANSPORTATION (TxDOT) to provide funds for the acquisition of property for the
widening of FM 60.
Recommendation(s): Staff recommends that Council approve the resolution and that the
AFA be executed.
Summary: TxDOT has requested that the City enter into a contractual agreement and
acquire Right of Way for the highway project to widen FM 60 (University Drive) from SH 6 to
FM 158 in College Station. The agreement has the City paying 10% of the costs of right-of-
way and utility relocations needed for the highway widening project. The estimated amount
of the City’s share is $484,200.00.
The widening of this section of University Drive has been identified as a high priority project
by the City and the project is on the MPO’s priority project list. The City’s approval of this
agreement will allow TxDOT to begin design and to begin the right-of-way purchase
process.
Budget & Financial Summary: In 2002, $247,000 of debt was issued in for the design of
the widening of University Drive. At that time, the City was going to design and TxDOT was
going to construct the project. We are now recommending that the $247,000 that was
previously issued for the design of University Drive Widening be used toward the ROW
payment (TxDOT will now be designing the project). An additional $253,000 will be needed
and we recommend that this be included on a future FY08 budget amendment. These
additional funds will come from the Streets Capital Projects Fund balance.

Semi-Annual Report – Impact Fee 03-02
To: Glenn Brown, City Manager
From: Mark Smith, Director of Public Works
Agenda Caption: Presentation, discussion and possible action, regarding a Semi-Annual
Report for Impact Fee 03-02 known as Steeplechase Sewer Impact Fee.
Recommendation(s): Staff recommends acknowledgment of the Semi-Annual Report
for Impact Fee 03-02.
Summary: The City of College Station Ordinance Chapter 15, Impact Fees, designates
the Planning and Zoning Commission as the Advisory Committee for review, advisement,
and monitoring of proposed and existing impact fees. In accordance with Local Government
Code 395.058(c)(4), the Advisory Committee considered the following update data and
acted to report directing staff to forward to City Council.
Currently the City of College Station has five impact fees in existence. As noted in the
subject, this Semi-Annual Report addresses one of the five impact fees. The remaining four
impact fees are addressed under separate, future 5-Year Update Report. The following is a
status report for the subject impact fee:
03-02 Sanitary Sewer (Steeplechase) (715 acres) $300.00/LUE
This fee was initially implemented in June 2003 @ $300.00/LUE and has not been revised.
This CIP was constructed in two phases of sanitary sewer line construction in compliance
with the proposed construction in the original report establishing the fee. Phase one
crossed Wellborn Road and terminated at Old Wellborn Road consisting of 2,347 linear feet
of 18 inch sewer line with a construction cost of $296,642. Phase two continued the line
along Old Wellborn Road and terminated across RPR West. Phase two consisted of 6,281
linear feet of 12 inch line and 2,062 linear feet of 18 inch line for a construction cost of
$529,088 and a land cost of $87,133. The design cost for the combined phases was
$148,023. The total actual cost was $1,091,886 which was less than the original report
estimated at $1,596,137. A 5-Year Update Report is due this year which would appear to
reduce this fee if the Land Use Assumptions are not significantly changed for this service
area. To date the original Land Use Assumptions (attached) have not changed and remain
valid. There has been minimal development in this impact fee area since implementation
and only $1200.00 in associated fees have been collected.

Resolution No. 4-25-96-3-B describing the use of funds that are in the endowment fund created for the
College Station Cemetery, and providing an effective date.
Recommendation(s): Staff recommends approval of this resolution amending Resolution No. 4-25-96-3-
B. In addition, this resolution was considered by the Cemetery Advisory Committee during the February
5, 2008 meeting. The Cemetery Advisory Committee made a recommendation to the College Station City
Council for approval of the resolution as presented. This recommendation was a 6 to 0 vote, with 6 of 9
members present.
Summary: Resolution No. 4-25-96-3-B established an Endowment Fund for the College Station
Cemetery located at 2580 Texas Avenue South. During the development of a staff recommendation for a
fund for the new Memorial Cemetery of College Station, Resolution No. 4-25-96-3-B was reviewed and it
was determined that some language needed to be altered.
State statutes require that money placed in an Endowment Fund for a cemetery can only be utilized for
that cemetery. This amending resolution deletes the existing wording of Section C, Sub-Section 4 of
Resolution 4-25-96-3-B, and replaces the deleted language with acceptable wording.

described in Section 3.7 above.
7. EFFECT OF EXPIRATION OR TERMINATION

granted to LICENSEE hereunder shall cease, and LICENSEE will refrain from further use of the
LICENSED MARKS, or any mark or name confusingly similar to the LICENSED MARKS, in
connection with the Municipal Cemetery.
7.2 Upon expiration or termination of this License Agreement, LICENSEE shall not
operate the Municipal Cemetery in any manner that would falsely suggest to the public that this
License Agreement is still in force.

transferred by LICENSEE without the express written approval of LICENSOR.
8.2 LICENSEE shall grant no sublicenses under this License Agreement.

9. GOODWILL IN LICENSED MARKS
9.1 LICENSEE agrees that the LICENSED MARKS have goodwill in the minds of
the consuming public. LICENSEE agrees that such goodwill should be protected and enhanced
and, toward this end, LICENSEE shall not during the TERM or thereafter:
(a) attack LICENSOR’s ownership of the LICENSED MARKS;
(b) offer for sale any merchandise bearing any of the LICENSED MARKS; or
(c) apply to register or maintain any application or registration of the LICENSED
MARKS.
9.2 A1l use by LICENSEE of the LICENSED MARKS inures to the benefit of
LICENSOR.
9.3 In order to facilitate protection of the “Aggie Field of Honor” Mark in print
media intended for general public distribution and in any promotional materials, LICENSEE
agrees to provide to LICENSOR for pre-approval such print media and promotional materials in
accordance with Section 10.2.
9.4 LICENSEE agrees to cooperate with LICENSOR in the enforcement of rights in
the LICENSED MARKS against others by providing LICENSOR with notice of unauthorized
uses of which LICENSEE becomes aware, and by cooperating, at LICENSOR’s expense, in any
actions against alleged infringers within the TERRITORY.
10. QUALITY CONTROL
10.1 LICENSEE shall use the LICENSED MARKS in a manner that will foster the
goodwill associated with them. LICENSEE acknowledges that if any signs, displays, boundary
markers or monuments installed or used by LICENSEE in connection with the Municipal
Cemetery, and particularly the Aggie Field of Honor, were of inferior quality in design, material
or workmanship, the substantial goodwill which LICENSOR possesses in the MARKS would be
impaired. Accordingly, LICENSEE agrees that all such uses shall be of quality workmanship and
design and shall be maintained in that state at all times.
10.2 To assist LICENSOR in controlling the manner of use of the “Aggie Field of
Honor” Mark (which incorporates LICENSOR’S “ATM” Mark), outside the TERRITORY as
permitted in Section 4, and in controlling the quality of any such usage, LICENSEE shall, before
it uses the “Aggie Field of Honor” Mark in any media intended for general distribution or on
promotional materials furnish to LICENSOR, free of cost, for its approval, a sample of each such
use of the “Aggie Field of Honor” Mark. The samples required in this Section shall be provided
to LICENSOR by mailing, emailing, or shipping them, postage or shipping costs prepaid, to:

LICENSOR shall have five (5) business days from receipt of each new sample of use in
connection with the “Aggie Field of Honor” Mark in which to reject the sample. In absence of
rejection, or upon earlier written acceptance, the sample shall be deemed as accepted as an
example of the quality for that use of the “Aggie Field of Honor” Mark. LICENSOR’s pre-
approval shall not be unreasonably withheld (by way of example, and not limitation of possible
grounds for withholding approval, it shall be granted unless LICENSEE’s contemplated use is in
poor taste or has a negative impact on LICENSOR’s image). Once a proposed use has been
approved, it may be used thereafter throughout the TERM without additional approval.
11. MARKING
11.1 LICENSEE agrees that it will use the LICENSED MARKS in a manner as
specified from time to time in writing by LICENSOR to indicate the rights of LICENSOR in the
LICENSED MARKS, including registration status of the LICENSED MARKS and that the
LICENSED MARKS are used pursuant to license.
(a) The “ATM” Mark incorporated into the “Aggie Field of Honor” Mark must
include the registration symbol “®”.
(b) The following attribution statement must be included in a conspicuous manner
and in a prominent place (for example on a plaque) on or near the large “ATM” Mark in the
central circle shown on the right-hand side of the plan attached as Attachment C: “The “ATM”
trademark is a trademark of Texas A&M University and its use is pursuant to a license
agreement with the university.”
(c) Following registration by LICENSOR, LICENSOR may require the following
attribution statement be placed in a conspicuous manner on a plaque or sign in proximity to the
“Muster” Mark: “The “Muster” trademark is a trademark of Texas A&M University and its use
is pursuant to a license agreement with the university.”
11.2 If LICENSEE uses the “Aggie Field of Honor” Mark on its website, it will use
the trademark notice (“®”) and will make the Attribution Statement described in Section 11.1
above in a small, legible font footnote or bottom-of-page disclosure. The disclosure will appear
on any page where the “Aggie Field of Honor” Mark is a significant feature and on the legal
disclosure/disclaimer page of the website. The “Aggie Field of Honor” Mark is considered to be
a “significant feature” if it is used in a manner that distinguishes it from other printed
information on the page, such as by differing larger font, larger size, or color). If the “Aggie
Field of Honor” Mark is used in text on the website, no trademark notice or footnote disclosure is
required, but the “Aggie Field of Honor” Mark will be set off in quotation marks or in all caps.

11.3 If LICENSEE uses the “Aggie Field of Honor” Mark on print media intended for
general distribution or in any promotional materials, LICENSEE will use the trademark notice

12. INDEMNITY/HOLD HARMLESS
12.1 LICENSEE agrees that it is wholly responsible for the LICENSED USE in
connection with the Municipal Cemetery.
12.2 To the extent permitted by the Constitution and laws of the State of Texas,
LICENSEE indemnifies and holds harmless LICENSOR and the officers, employees, attorneys,
and agents thereof, from any claims, demands, causes of action, and damages, including
reasonable attorney’s fees, caused by or arising out of use by LICENSEE of any LICENSED
MARK, including without limitation, claims or actions for patent or copyright infringement.
12.3 To the extent permitted by the Constitution and laws of the State of Texas,
LICENSOR indemnifies and holds harmless LICENSEE and the officers, employees, attorneys,
and agents thereof, from any claims, demands, causes of action, and damages, including
reasonable attorney’s fees, caused by or arising out of use by LICENSOR of any LICENSED
MARK, including without limitation, claims or actions for patent or copyright infringement.

or to such other address as either party may from time to time designate in writing.
13.2 Opportunity for Cure/Mediation. If either party believes that the other party is in
default or material violation of this License Agreement, such party shall provide notice in writing
to the other party specifying the alleged violation within thirty (30) days of gaining actual
knowledge of the alleged violation and specify a reasonable means for curing such violation.
Failure to give notice of an alleged violation shall not constitute waiver of that violation unless
the offended party has actual knowledge of the alleged violation. Moreover, waiver with regard
to one violation shall not constitute waiver of subsequent violations.
The allegedly offending party shall use its best efforts to cure the perceived violation as
soon as possible, but will, in any event, immediately (within five (5) business days of receipt of
notice) contest the alleged violation as provided below or cure the alleged violation within no
more than twenty (20) days of receipt of notice. If the allegedly offending party opts to contest
the allegation of a violation, it shall provide notice of its disagreement with the alleged violation
within five (5) business days of receipt of notice of the alleged violation and explain the grounds
for such disagreement. Similarly, if cure is attempted and the allegedly offended party does not
believe that the cure is sufficient, the allegedly offended party shall provide notice of the
insufficiency of cure within five (5) business days of determining that cure was, in its opinion,
insufficient.
The parties’ designees identified in Section 13.1 or other representatives identified under
Section 9.3 agree to confer by telephone or in person within ten (10) business days of the sending
of either a notices of disagreement or a notice of the insufficiency to cure to attempt to resolve
the disagreement. If the parties are unable to reach agreement regarding resolution of the alleged
violation within said ten (10) business days, then the parties agree to participate in mediation
concerning the alleged violation within forty-five (45) days of the date of sending of the notice of
disagreement with the allegation of violation or of the notice of insufficiency of cure, as the case
shall be. The mediation shall be conducted before a mediator mutually agreed to by the parties. If
the parties are unable to agree upon a single mediator, each party shall select a neutral mediator,
and the mediation shall be conducted before the two selected mediators as neutral co-mediators.
If the parties are unable to agree upon the time and/or place for the mediation, it shall be
determined by the mediator(s). The above time periods may be extended by agreement of the
parties. The parties shall share evenly the costs of the mediator(s). Neither party shall file suit
without first providing the above-required notice and opportunity for cure. While the parties
agree to be generally guided by the mediation process, if no agreement is reached in mediation,
the allegedly offended party may pursue whatever claims or remedies it believes are available to
it under this License Agreement; the other party may assert whatever defenses it believes are
available to it, and both parties reserve all of their rights under this License Agreement.

Consent Agenda Item 2p
Property for Groundwater Wells 8, 9, and 10
To: Glenn Brown, City Manager
From: David Coleman, Director of Water Services Department
Agenda Caption: Presentation, possible action, and discussion to approve an amended
Needs Resolution authorizing the purchase or condemnation of property, water rights, right-
of-way and easement interest in certain properties for the Groundwater Wells 8, 9, and 10
Project.
Recommendation: Staff recommends approval of the amended Needs Resolution.
Summary: City Council approved an amended Needs Resolution on April 26, 2007
identifying additional properties for the purchase of land or water rights sufficient for water
wells 8, 9, and 10. The purpose of this Project is to meet the City’s future water demand
through approximately 2020, at the present population growth rate and usage. This land
purchase is required, since the Brazos Valley Groundwater Conservation District rules
require owners of all new public water supply wells (producing 3,000 gallons per minute
from the Simsboro aquifer) to own 649 acres of land or water rights for each well, with the
land being contiguous and reasonably reflecting the cone of depression of each well.
Since April, 26, 2007, discussions with land owners in this area made us aware of three
properties in Robertson County that were available for purchase that will make ideal well
sites. The Council approved real estate contracts with the property owners on September
27, 2007. This amended Needs Resolution will authorize the City to complete the purchase
of these three tracts.
The attached map shows the revised properties that are recommended for purchase to drill
groundwater wells. The properties are located in both Brazos and Robertson Counties, for
optimal water quality and quantity, plus are as near our existing wells as possible, to
facilitate connection to our well-field water collection system.
Budget & Financial Summary: Funds are available and budgeted in the Water Budget
and future Bond sales.

Regular Agenda Item 1
317 & 321 Redmond Drive Comprehensive Plan Amendment
To: Glenn Brown, City Manager
From: Bob Cowell, AICP, Director of Planning & Development Services
Agenda Caption: Public hearing, presentation, possible action, and discussion on an
amendment to the Comprehensive Plan - Land Use Plan from Regional Retail and Residential
Attached to Redevelopment for 0.95 acres located at 317 and 321 Redmond Drive.
Recommendation(s): The Planning & Zoning Commission heard this item on January 17, 2008
and recommended approval of the request with a 6-0 vote. Staff recommended approval of the
Land Use Plan amendment.
Summary: The subject request was analyzed by staff as follows:
1. Changed or changing conditions in the subject area or the City: The applicant has
requested to amend the Land Use Plan to reflect the subject properties as Redevelopment
in order to include them as part of the redevelopment of the adjacent Ramda Inn property
into a mixed-use development. The Ramada Inn property was rezoned to Planned Mixed
Use District (P-MUD) in July 2007. In association with the proposed development, the City
Council also approved street modifications in December 2007. Redmond Drive will be
closed at the point it crosses the Wolf Pen Creek tributary between the Meridian Apartments
and the Redmond Terrace neighborhood. Milliff Road will also be converted to one-way
from Rosemary Lane out of the neighborhood to the rear of the commercial property while
the remaining portion of Milliff Road out to Texas Avenue will remain open to two-way traffic.
The Comprehensive Plan defines Redevelopment as "currently developed areas which will
experience redevelopment as a result of increased land value.” The subject properties were
previously developed as a gas station and self-service car wash. The structures on these
sites have been demolished and the property has been placed on the market for sale.
The property to the north of the Ramada Inn site across Milliff Road, is designated on the
Land Use Plan as Regional Retail and Floodplain & Streams and was redeveloped in 2003
from the Redmond Terrace shopping center to Texas Avenue Crossing. The property to the
east, across Texas Avenue, is designated as Redevelopment and was redeveloped as
Central Station shopping center (formerly Culpepper Plaza) in 2007.
2. Compatibility with the remainder of the Comprehensive Plan: The current Regional
Retail and Residential Attached designations are not consistent with the proposed Planned
Mixed-Use District (P-MUD) zoning. Generally, mixed-use developments and P-MUD
zoning are appropriate in areas shown as either Planned Development or Redevelopment
on the Land Use Plan, depending on specific site characteristics. In this case, Staff believes
that Redevelopment is the more appropriate designation.
The Comprehensive Plan states that "redevelopment will occur as mixed use developments
as described (below). Mixed-use redevelopment areas are projected for areas close to the
University, such as Northgate." Mixed-Use is defined as "areas which encourage mixing of
139
compatible land uses such as retail/commercial, office, parks, multi-family, and attached
single-family. These uses are developed together in a manner that allows interaction
between the uses and that allows each use to support the other uses. The residential uses
provide the patrons for the office and commercial uses. The layout of these land uses must
take into consideration pedestrian linkages, landscape buffers between the uses, shared
site improvements and vehicular circulation. The success of these mixed use areas is
directly related to the sensitive master planning of the site layout."
The subject properties are located adjacent to Texas Avenue, a Major Arterial on the City’s
Thoroughfare Plan, and Redmond Drive a local street. The properties also have cross
access to the adjacent Ramada Inn site.

Regular Agenda Item 2
1502 Texas Ave S and 317 & 321 Redmond Dr Rezoning
To: Glenn Brown, City Manager
From: Bob Cowell, AICP, Director of Planning & Development Services
Agenda Caption: Public hearing, presentation, possible action, and discussion on a
rezoning from C-1 General Commercial, P-MUD Planned Mixed Use District, and A-O
Agricultural Open to P-MUD Planned Mixed Use District and A-O Agricultural Open for 4.905
acres located at 1502 Texas Avenue South and 317 & 321 Redmond Drive.
Recommendation(s): The Planning & Zoning Commission heard this item on January 17,
2008 and recommended approval of the request with a 6-0 vote. Staff recommended
approval of the rezoning request.
Summary: The subject request was analyzed by staff as follows:
1. Consistency with the Comprehensive Plan: A Comprehensive Plan Amendment to
the Redevelopment land use designation was approved by City Council in July 2007 for
the Ramada Inn site. The applicant has proposed a Comprehensive Plan Amendment for
remaining portion of the subject property, seeking to change the Land Use Plan
designation from Retail Regional and Residential Attached to Redevelopment. If
approved, that change will allow this rezoning request to be considered.
2. Compatibility with the present zoning and conforming uses of nearby property
and with the character of the neighborhood: The properties to the north and south
of the subject property along Texas Avenue are currently zoned and developed as
commercial properties. Jack In The Box is to the north adjacent to the Ramada Inn, the
Texas Avenue Crossing shopping center is across Milliff Road to the north and JJ’s Liquor
is located across Redmond Drive to the south. The properties to the west are zoned R-6
and R-1 and are respectively developed as the Meridian Apartments and single family
homes within the Redmond Terrace Subdivision. The proposed zoning request retains
an A-O Agricultural Open area adjacent to the single family homes. The proposed range
in building heights will not exceed 150 feet which will ensure the proposed buildings will
meet the single family protection height restrictions imposed by the Unified
Development Ordinance. In addition, the City Council also approved street modifications
in December 2007 in order to mitigate the potentially affects of additional traffic through
the adjacent Redmond Terrace neighborhood. These modifications include the closure
of Redmond Drive at the point it crosses the Wolf Pen Creek tributary between the
Meridian Apartments and the Redmond Terrace neighborhood. Milliff Road will also be
converted to one-way from Rosemary Lane out of the neighborhood to rear of the
commercial property while the remaining portion of Milliff Road out to Texas Avenue will
remain open to two-way traffic.
154
3. Suitability of the property affected by the amendment for uses permitted by the
district that would be made applicable by the proposed amendment: The subject
property is suitable for the proposed zoning district due in part to its access and visibility
from Texas Avenue, a Major Arterial on the City’s Thoroughfare Plan. In addition the
proposed mixed-use development is in close proximity to Texas A&M University and
would be complimentary to the other commercial development in the area.
4. Suitability of the property affected by the amendment for uses permitted by the
district applicable to the property at the time of the proposed amendment: A
portion of the request is the Ramada Inn site that has already been zoned P-MUD and A-
O. This request adds the adjacent C-1, General Commercial, property to the south to
the P-MUD district. Being less than one acre in area and with limited depth, the existing
C-1 property is only minimally adequate for its current zoning. The applicant states that
a previous attempt to redevelop the property was only able to incorporate a 4,600
square-foot restaurant. By incorporating these lots into the larger P-MUD district, the
applicant has been able to yield more than an additional 5,000 square feet of
commercial space than that proposal. Furthermore, by consolidating these properties,
the sites can be planned together in a better fashion than if done independently.
5. Marketability of the property affected by the amendment for uses permitted by
the district applicable to the property at the time of the proposed amendment:
The owner of the lots known as 317 & 321 Redmond Drive has the properties for sale
and this request seeks to incorporate those lots into the proposed mixed-use
development on the adjacent property. Having these properties included as part of the
request will allow them to redevelop more easily and with a potential higher intensity.
6. Availability of water, wastewater, stormwater, and transportation facilities
generally suitable and adequate for the proposed use: There is existing water and
sanitary sewer lines located on the subject property. The subject property has
approximately 550 feet of frontage on Texas Avenue, a Major Arterial, and
approximately 220 feet of frontage on Redmond Drive and 280 feet of frontage on Milliff
Road, both local streets.
Specific information related to the Concept Plan and the Unified Development Ordinance
Review Criteria has been included as an attachment.

Details of Concept Plan: The Concept Plan is intended to be more conceptual in nature
and has not been reviewed for overall site plan compliance.
A Concept Plan was approved with a rezoning request for the existing Ramada Inn
property in July 2007. The proposed Concept Plan expands the area of the mixed use
district and extends the structure across the common property line between the Ramada
Inn property and the Redmond Drive properties.
A Planned Mixed Use District requires that at least 20% residential and 20% non-
residential uses are provided. The applicant has proposed approximately 80% of
residential uses and approximately 20% non-residential uses. Only retail and other
commercial uses are proposed on the ground floor with dormitory and multi-family units
on the floors above them. Given the additional land area provided with this request, the
applicant approximates the commercial area to increase from about 37,000 square feet
with the original request to about 48,000 square feet. With the removal of residential
units from ground floor of the existing hotel tower and with the consolidation of some
other residential units, the number of residential units has been reduced from the
applicant’s initial submittal of approximately 274 units with 504 beds to approximately
232 units with 332 beds. The exact area of each use will be reviewed and evaluated
with the site plan and building permit applications based on the use percentages cited
above.
The applicant has also requested bulk and dimension variations from the Non-
Residential Architectural Standards “POD” parking, driveway spacing, and detention
requirements. Staff has determined that the POD parking variation is not necessary with
the proposed parking layout. Also, it appears that the redevelopment project proposes
less impervious cover on the site than currently exists. If so detention would not be
required, though this will be verified through a Drainage Report submitted at the time of
redevelopment.
The Concept Plan shows the Texas Avenue driveway being relocated further to the
south than proposed on the initial Concept Plan. Since the first Concept Plan was
approved, an additional median break is being added to Texas Avenue in the form of a
hooded turn lane for south-bound traffic to enter Central Station shopping center. For
safety purposes, Staff requested the development’s driveway be relocated so that traffic
exiting the site would not be able to cut directly across Texas Avenue and enter that turn
lane. The applicant is requesting a dimensional variation to driveway spacing since the
proposed driveway does not meet minimum driveway spacing standards. Staff supports
this meritorious modification as a total of four driveways for the Ramada Inn and former
gas station properties are being consolidated to one. Though the driveway may need to
move slightly back to the north for further spacing from Redmond Drive, the final location
of the driveway will be determined through a TxDOT Driveway Permit.
Review Criteria: The Unified Development Ordinances provides the following review
criteria for PDD and P-MUD Concept Plans:
1. The proposal will constitute an environment of sustained stability and
will be in harmony with the character of the surrounding area;
2. The proposal is in conformity with the policies, goals, and objectives of
the Comprehensive Plan, and any subsequently adopted Plans, and
165
will be consistent with the intent and purpose of this Section;
3. The proposal is compatible with existing or permitted uses on abutting
sites and will not adversely affect adjacent development;
4. Every dwelling unit need not front on a public street but shall have
access to a public street directly or via a court, walkway, public area, or
area owned by a homeowners association;
5. The development includes provision of adequate public improvements,
including, but not limited to, parks, schools, and other public facilities;
6. The development will not be detrimental to the public health, safety,
welfare, or materially injurious to properties or improvements in the
vicinity; and
7. The development will not adversely affect the safety and convenience
of vehicular, bicycle, or pedestrian circulation in the vicinity, including
traffic reasonably expected to be generated by the proposed use and
other uses reasonably anticipated in the area considering existing
zoning and land uses in the area.

To: Glenn Brown, City Manager
From: Mark Smith, Director of Public Works
Agenda Caption: Presentation, public hearing, possible action and discussion of an
ordinance amending Chapter 10 “Traffic Code”, to remove parking along Patricia Street and
a section of Lodge Street.

parked cars along Patricia or on Lodge near the intersection with Patricia will block the
access for these emergency and sanitation vehicles. This action only removes 3 parking
spaces.
Budget & Financial Summary: The “NO PARKING” signs are planned operation and
maintenance expenses accounted for in the Public Works Traffic Operation budget.

Patricia Street One Way
To: Glenn Brown, City Manager
From: Mark Smith, Director of Public Works
Agenda Caption: Presentation, possible action and discussion of an ordinance amending
Chapter 10 “Traffic Code”, to make Patricia Street one way from Lodge to College Main.
Recommendation(s): Staff recommends approval of the ordinance amendment.
Summary: The current operation for Lodge Street and Patricia Street is one-way
northbound and one-way eastbound respectively. However, the recent abandonment of
Lodge Street between Patricia Street and Church Avenue to the A&M Methodist Church has
resulted in two city streets dead ending into each other and the only legal vehicular outlet is
through the abandoned Lodge Street ROW. Since the A&M Methodist Church could prohibit
motor vehicles from accessing this northern section of Lodge Street, this ordinance is being
sent to the City Council to reverse the operation of Patricia from one-way eastbound to one-
way westbound. This will allow vehicles to enter at Lodge Street and exit the area from
Patricia Street.
With the passage of this ordinance, devices and signage are planned for installation at the
Lodge Street and Patricia Street intersection directing the northbound Lodge Street traffic
onto Patricia Street, which will provide for continuous traffic flow from University Drive to
College Main.
Budget & Financial Summary: The “ONE WAY” signs are planned operation and
maintenance expenses accounted for in the Public Works Traffic Operation budget.
