® AGENDA ITEM NO. 3: 89-214: Final Plat -Third Plat College Station Cemetery.
Assistant City Engineer Smith explained that in October, the Council approved a request from W. D. Fitch to
create a new section "M" in the city cemetery in which to locate mausoleums because the existing section for
that use was full.
He went on to explain that the plat under consideration creates that new section within the boundaries of the
existing cemetery property and has 11 lots which will be divided into 8 plots per lot. He added that the plat
has the support of both the College Station Cemetery Committee and the technical staff.
Mr. Colson asked if each building site will come before the P&Z, and if not, then approval of this plat
automatically approves all proposals. Mr. Smith explained that each proposal must meet the requirements
of the cemetery and the cemetery committee, but will not come before the Commission. He went onto
explain that plots which are bought come with deed restrictions which restrict certain types of uses to certain
sites, as well as size and certain landscaping requirements.
After additional brief discussion and assurances from Dan Sears, an agent for W. D. Fitch, regarding the size
of the mausoleum under consideration, Mr. Esmond made a motion to recommend approval of the plat as
submitted. Mr. Michel seconded the motion which carried unanimously (5-0).
AGENDA ITEM NO. 4. 89-215: Final Plat -Southwood Valley Section 24D.
Mr. Smith located the subject property, explained that 3 of the cul-de-sacs exceed the length limit governed
by ordinance, but added the variance for these and other cul-de-sacs was granted at the time of the
Preliminary Plat for the subdivision.
He went on to explain that this final plat is almost identical to the approved preliminary plat except for the
additional utility easements which have been required to cover electrical utilities to serve all lots from the
poles.
After being questioned as to whether all requirements listed on the Presubmission Conference report had
been met, Mr. Smith asked Mr. Sears to comment, and Mr. Sears explained that the easements on both
ends of the plat have been shown, but the width requirement of the easements between the lots has not yet
been determined by the City's Electrical Division, but assured everyone those easements will be added as
house locations on the lots are determined.
• Mr. Colson made a motion to recommend approval of this plat as submitted. Mr. Gentry seconded the
motion which carried unanimously (5-0).
AGENDA ITEM NO. 5: 89-306: Master Preliminary Plat -Emerald Forest
Phases 8, 9, 10 & 11.
Vice Chairman Dresser announced that the applicant has requested consideration of this plat to be
tabled until the next meeting.
Mr. Michel made a motion to table consideration of this plat until the next meeting. Mr. Colson seconded the
motion which carried unanimously (5-0).
AGENDA ITEM NO. 6: Other business.
Mr. Dresser asked staff what the response had been to the letters which were sent out regarding parking on
the lawns and Mrs. Kee replied that she had received telephone calls from people with questions. Mr.
Dresser advised that it appeared to him that the people who were selling parking spaces during the
Texas/A&M football game were the same people who had been selling spaces for earlier games, and he
would request that staff tackle this problem next year before the football season begins.
Mrs. Kee announced that Aldersgate church has verbally agreed to upgrade the temporary parking lot, and
in fact, has received verbal agreement, but no written approval from the loan company. She stated that what
this amounts to is that the church is actively working on making the parking lot a permanent one, and staff is
cooperating in every way it can.
She then announced that while she had notified the owners of the One Lincoln Place condos that the
approved time limit for using the temporary lot there has expired, to date she has had no reply.
AGENDA ITEM NO. 7: Adjourn.
There was no other business, so at 7:22 p. m. Mr. Colson made a motion to adjourn which Mr. Gentry
• seconded. Motion carried unanimously and the meeting was adjourned.
