PLANNING
Phase 1
1. Please revise the landscape legend for the crepe myrtle to reflect that the caliper is 1.5-2"per
cane.
Phase 2
1. The following were my calculations for the landscaping
a. Total points required 2550 (Currently you are subtracting 800 points from the
landscaping, I am unsure as to why). This would result in a minimum of 1275
canopy points.
b. I counted 39 Crepe Myrtles that were provided in Phase 2 construction, for 1560
points.
c. I counted 70 Indian Hawthorns that were provided in Phase 2 construction, for 700
points.
d. Total provided for Phase 2 is 3010 points. Overall,there are 5240 provided points.
2. 50%of point calculations for landscaping must be canopy trees.
3. Non-residential Architectural Standards have not been met for the facade. Please be aware
that this will require additional review at the building permit stage for Phase 2.
4. Plans will not be approved until parking setback is met or variance is granted (FYI).

ENGINEERING
1. Add inlet protection to drainage basin inlet grates in Phase 2.
2. Be aware that TxDOT has concerns with drainage flumes directly discharging in to their
ROW. A TxDOT driveway permit is required for discharge into TxDOT ROW. This
permit will need to be submitted and approved before Phase 2 construction can begin.
3. Verify that the discharge to TxDOT ROW from the drainage flume will enter the inlet grate
and not flow over the sidewalk.
4. The 3'BC-BC width shown in the Flume Detail,does not match the width shown in Section
A-A.

needed to manage access,the city will construct a median along Manuel Drive,and this median will
not allow left turns into or out of the driveway closest to Texas Avenue.

PLANNING
1. Dimension all opposite driveways.
2. Minimum driveway throat depth should be measured from the first point of conflict. It appears
that on one of the driveways, there is only an island on one side, creating a point of conflict less
that the required 25 feet.
3. Please show all curb and pavement details as shown in the CoCS Site Design Standards found at:
http://www.cstx.gov/docs/site design standards.pdf
4. Parking setback is required to be a minimum of 10 feet from the ROW when parking is located
in front of the building. It is my understanding that you will be requesting a variance to this
requirement. Please be aware that a site plan cannot be approved until the ordinance is met or a
variance granted.
5. Minimum landscaping points for a site is 80e.Additional streetscaping points should be added to
the minimum 800 points.
6. The street frontage I am measuring for streetscaping points is well over 200 feet from the phase
line on Manual Drive. Please show how you are getting 90 feet of frontage for the streetscaping
calculation.
7. Colors Argos and Gray Matters are both on the approved list.The canopy color,however,it not.
For buildings under 50,000 sf, accent colors (those colors not listed on the color palate) are
limited to 15% of the facade. Please provide the percentage of the facade that is not an approved
color,or use a color that is approved without limitation.
8. Provide tree barricade detail as shown in the CoCS Site Design Standards (referenced in Note 3).
9. Provide bicycle parking details as shown in the CoCS Site Design Standards
10. Metal may be used as a structural element, but it may not be visible. The posts holding up the
canopies should be covered with an approved material.
11. It appears that the scale on the elevations is incorrect. The front elevation is required 2 elements
for every section of up to 45 feet. The front elevation is 60 feet and would require 4 elements.
Please show how you are meeting this requirement.

ENGINEERING COMMENTS NO.2
1. Provide documentation that adjacent property owner is amenable to allowing discharge into their
private storm system and construction on their property.
2. The CN value used seems low. Did you do a weighted average?
3. Provide inlet sizing and ponding location information.
4. For Copy Corner, the runoff for drainage area 202 was computed as undeveloped. I don't think
you can just estimate the runoff by ratio of areas.
5. How did you determine discharge from parking lot?
6. Provide Erosion Control Plan.
7. Submit DP application and associated fee.
