Power Engrs. GTE Representative Shirley Volk, Planning Technician SUBJECT: (82 -416) Office /Retail Building by Jan -Wic Homes, Inc. located on Welsh The P.R.C. met to discuss the "as built" plans and the plans which had been approved by the P &Z, but which were not the same. After discussion of the actual 4' -0" setback instead of the required and approved 8' -0" setback, the safety and asthetic reasons for the 8' -0" requirement, and Mr. McKean's statement that an error had been made for which he apologized, the City Engineer (David Pullen) and Chairman of the P &Z (Jim Behling) indicated that in their opinion, the 4' -0" setback which is provided is acceptable, and they can recommend to the P &Z the "as built" plans be approved. Their reasoning is that they believe an error has been made. Mr. Mayo disagreed with this recommendation, because when the developer was ques- tioned about the error, he admitted that the dimensions on the original site plan had never been adjusted after the P &Z required the eight foot setback. A suggestion followed by the Assistant Zoning Official that if the "as built" plans are approved, the developer perhaps would be required to provide more intensified landscaping on a berm along this front setback to compensate for the lace of space provided. sjv CA City of College Station P OST OFFICE BOX 9960 1 101 TEXAS AVENUE COLLEGE STATION, TEXAS 77840 February 1, 1983 MEMORANDUM TO: Jimmie E.

Earl Merrill, which was recently denied by the Planning & Zoning Commission. The City Engineer, David Pullen, advised that there would not be any problem with the sewers or water availability in this area caused by an addition this small, according to the consultants. Mr. Mayo & Mr. Behling both stated that the plan proposed represented extreme over -use of the small lot. Mr. Mayo explained the City's position on this area is that a recommendation to rezone the area to Medium Density Residential is being made, as the current zoning of R -6 creates too much density for this particular area, and in fact, the entire Northgate area needs to be down - zoned. Mr. Merrill asked what could be approved, and Mr. Behling advised he could not answer that without seeing a plan, but he personally could not give his approval to a plan which included paving from property line to property line, and suggested a re- design of the project consisting of fewer units. Mr. Mayo advised that 2 parking spaces provided would be preferred for each unit rather than the minimum required by ordinance due to the already troubled parking in the vicinity. Mr. Merrill asked if a plan showing 10 units could be approved, and he was advised that the P.R.C. will be willing to review any new project he proposed. Attending this meeting were: Jim Behling (Chairman P &Z), Al Mayo (Director of Planning), David Pullen (City Engineer), Harry Davis (Fire Marshal), Mac Allen (Director of Public Services), Jim McCord (Electric Power Engineers), GTE Representative, Shirley Volk (Planning Technician) and Mr. Merrill and a representative. sjv ♦�� City of College Station POST OFFICE BOX 9960 1 101 TEXAS AVENUE \ / COLLEGE STATION, TEXAS 77840 February 1, 1983 MEMORANDUM T0: Planning and Zoning Commission J.
