Water distribution lines and service leads will be sleeved under the pavement and two (2) feet beyond the back of curb; It is our estimatation that the requested variance should be granted for the following reasons: 1) City of College Station is currently in the annexation process of this subdivision. Per phone conversations with Mr. Lance Simms, Acting Director of Development Services & Planning, annexation should occur sometime during the fall of 2007. Therefore, the Creek Meadow subdivision should be within the CoCS city Limits within the year and out of the maintenance responsibility of the County; 2) Typical installation design guidelines, as illustrated by the B /CS Unified Design Guidelines for Water & Sanitary Sewer, recommended placement of all public utilities within the right -of -way of a street (see attached excerpt of the B /CS Unified Design Guideline manual). Therefore, utility construction will be in compliance with CoCS standards; 3) Typically utility installation is not desirable within the County right -of -way primarily because of maintenance or relocation issues_ The Commissioner's Court has already issued a variance which will remove maintenance responsibility from the County for anything behind the curb. Also, it is unforeseeable that any street would require widening which would be the primary "trigger" for utility relocation.
