Dear Mr. Taggart • This letter is to inform you that the above referenced property has received an administrative adjustment of from 1,707 to 1,689 spaces required, resulting in a one percent reduction, or 18 parking spaces. According to the Unified Development Ordinance Section 3.15, the Administrator has the authority to authorize adjustment of up to 10 percent from any numerical zoning standard set forth in Articles 5, 6, or 7 of the Unified Development Ordinance. To approve the application for an administrative adjustment, the Administrator shall make an affirmative finding that specific criteria, as outlined in Section 3.15.E of the Unified Development Ordinance, have been met. The Administrator has found that: Granting the adjustment will ensure the same general level of land use compatibility as the otherwise applicable standards because it will be adequately served with parking facilities; Granting the adjustment will not materially or adversely affect adjacent land uses or the physical character of uses in the immediate vicinity of the proposed development because the land use is confined to one lot and shared parking facilities are not practical; and • Page 2 March 7,2006 Granting the adjustment will be generally consistent with the purposes and intent of this UDO given the scale of the development and is not a detriment to the public health or welfare of the community. If you have any questions, please feel free to call me at 979.764.3570. Sincerely, Joe unn, AICP ' ctor of Planning & Development Services CC: Woodlands of College Station, L.P.

The maximum number of spaces allowed is the require plus 50% (ie: 255 x 1.5 =382). I hope that helps. By the way, the final product is a nice change from the typical multi-family developments that we've seen in the past. Paul A. Stutz Arborist/Planner II ACC Planning Department 120 W.

The project is in site plan review at this time. Also, a parking variance is being requested. The developer provided information to us that they have developed two projects in Athens, being The Woodlands of Athens and The Summmit. They have 325 and 236 units respectively. Could you verify the number of parking spaces that are provided for each project, the number of spaces required, and what the multi-family parking requirement is for your community? Thanks in advance your assistance. Trey College Station. Heart of the Research Valley. Trey Fletcher- RE: Parking variances 1 From: "Jim Shaw" <jshaw@statesboroga.net> To: "'Trey Fletcher"' <tletcher@cstx.gov> Date: 1/24/2006 3:27 pm Subject: RE: Parking variances Trey, I have been onboard for about six months, so I have no firsthand experience with The Woodlands. After a review of the files in my department and those in the Engineering Department(which includes the Building Inspection division), here is what I was able to find. The original development was for 120 2-bedroom units. The Planning Department's review sheet for the site plan states 300 spaces were shown on the plan, although I did not look for a copy of the plan itself to verify. The parking requirement then, as it is now, was 2.5 spaces for each 2-bedroom unit. A second phase was proposed a few years later and included 64 units. The review sheet for that phase indicates 160 spaces were required and 179 were provided. The original rezoning of the property included a variance to allow the parking spaces to have a minimum width of 8.5 feet. (Statesboro has an interesting parking provision that requires at least half the spaces to be 10 feet wide while the remainder can be no less than 9 feet wide.) Later, a variance was granted to allow lights with a higher wattage and a greater number of fixtures than permitted. For multifamily residential developments, Statesboro requires 2 spaces for each efficiency or 1-bedroom unit, 2.5 for each 2-bedroom unit, 3 for each 3-bedroom unit, and 4 for each 4-bedroom unit. I hope this helps. If you have any other questions, please do not hesitate to ask. Jim James P. (Jim) Shaw, AICP Planning Director City of Statesboro 50 East Main Street P.O.
