COCS ADAMSON BATH HOUSE (SCREENING ALTERNATIVE) (09-00500157)
Item: Presentation, discussion, and possible action regarding a variance request to
Section 7.9.13.1"Required Screening" of the Unified Development Ordinance to allow an
alternative screening method for the mechanical equipment at the Adamson Lagoon
Bath House located at 1900 Anderson Street within Bee Creek Park.
Zoning District: R-1 Single Family Residential
Location: 1900 Anderson Street, Bee Creek Park
Applicant: Pete Vanecek, City of College Station Parks and Recreation Department
Item Summary: Section 7.9.13.1 of the Unified Development Ordinance requires that
all mechanical equipment be screened from view or isolated so as not to be visible from
any public right-of-way or residential district within 150 feet of the perimeter boundary
of the subject lot or tract, measured from a point 5 feet above grade. Such screening
must be coordinated with the building architecture, materials, colors, and scale to
maintain a unified appearance. Acceptable methods of screening are: encasement,
parapet wall, partition screen, brick/stone/masonry walls, or fences.
The newly opened bath house at Adamson Lagoon was constructed using a pitched
roof to mimic a residential style structure. The applicant feels that utilizing one of the
approved screening methods, such as a parapet wall, would detract from the residential
design by drawing attention to the screened mechanical equipment because of the
difference in roof elevation. The applicant has provided photos showing various views
from the abutting multi-family development. In some cases, the view is obstructed
entirely by existing trees. From other views, portions of the mechanical equipment are
visible.
The applicant is requesting to paint the mechanical equipment in lieu of screening with
a constructed object. Two colors options are being provided for discussion. One color
matches the gutters on the building and the other color option would blend with the
roof. The Design Review Board will have the opportunity to designate the more
appropriate color.
Issues/Items for Review:

Screening Alternative - Section 7.9.G.4 states, "Alternatives to the options for
screening listed in Section 7.9.13 may be considered".

ARCTIC WOLF ICE CENTER - SIGN REVIEW (09-00500154)
Item: Presentation, discussion, and possible action regarding a change to the
freestanding sign at The Arctic Wolf Ice Center located at 400 Holleman Drive East
which is within the Wolf Pen Creek District.
Location: 400 Holleman Drive East
Applicant: Fast Signs
Item Summary: The applicant is requesting to add an aluminum sign that is 7.5 square
feet in size to the existing freestanding sign located at 400 Holleman Drive East (The
Arctic Wolf Ice Center). The aluminum sign would be placed below the existing
electronic reader board and would not change the actual size of the structure.
Item Background: In March of 2005, the DRB approved a freestanding sign
approximately 11 feet tall for this property. The top portion of the sign contains one
internally illuminated sign with an aluminum cabinet and the bottom portion of the sign
contains an electronic reader board.
Color and material samples will be provided at the meeting.
Recommendation:
Staff recommends approval of the applicants request to add additional signage to the
existing freestanding sign. The proposed addition is in compliance with the freestanding
sign regulations of the Unified Development Ordinance. The current freestanding sign
structure measures 87.5 square feet. The addition of this aluminum sign will not change
the physical size of the sign structure. However, the amount of visible signage would
increased by 7.5 square feet, to a total of to 75 square feet.
Issues/Items for Review: Section 5.6.A.11 states that commercial signs for
businesses in the Wolf Pen Creek District must meet the following criteria:
Every sign shall be designed as an integral architectural element of the building
and site to which is principally relates.
• Every sign shall have good scale and proportion in its design and in its visual
relationship to buildings and surroundings.
• The colors, materials, and lighting of every sign shall be restrained and
harmonious with the building and site to which it principally relates.
• The number of graphic elements on a sign shall be held to the minimum needed
to convey the sign's major message and shall be composed in proportion to the
area of the sign face.
• Each sign shall be compatible with signs on adjoining premises and shall not
compete for attention.
Photos of existing signage in the surrounding area, as well as copies of the approved
site plan and building elevations will be provided at the meeting for the Board to
determine whether the above criteria have been met.
