Civil Development, Ltd. P.O. Box 11929 College Station, Texas 77842 Phone: (979) 764-7743 Subject: Revised Landscaping Plan Greens Prairie Center Phase 1 Detention Pond College Station, Texas Remarks: Accompanying this letter is the following document: Revised Landscaping Plan (24"x 36") 1 copy (11111111111111 CITY OF COLLEGE STATION June 20, 2008 First National Bank of Bryan 2307 S. Texas Ave. Bryan, Texas 77802 SUBJECT: Status of Lot 1, Block 1 Greens Prairie Center Phase 1 As requested, this correspondence will describe the status of the detention pond facility and landscaping associated with Lot 1, Block 1 Greens Prairie Center Phase 1. This lot is owned by Texas Hotel Management, LP and received an approved site plan, landscape plan, and development permit for construction in January 2007. The owner has completed the grading and infrastructure associated with the detention pond and has hydroseeded the site to establish groundcover. The City will continue to monitor the site to ensure groundcover is established and erosion of the pond does not occur. In addition, the City of College Station has received and accepted a bond for the required landscaping. Section 7.5.G of the Unified Development Ordinance allows a bond to provide an extension to the installation of the landscaping for four months from the date of the Certificate of Occupancy. There is not a structure on the lot that requires a building permit so a Certificate of Occupancy is not applicable. The bond was provided in the form of a check and has been deposited into a City account and therefore does not have an expiration. It is Staff's understanding that the bond was provided to allow the facility to be redesigned before installing the landscaping. Given these circumstances, Staff will proceed with the timeframe of the bond given in the ordinance but will also take into account progress in getting a redesigned facility approved. In any case, if ultimately not installed according to the approved landscape plan, the City will execute the bond. As for City requirements, the items as described above satisfy the owner's obligations for the development of the lot. It is Staff's understanding that this facility in part provides detention capacity to Lot 1, Block 2 of the subdivision owned by you. Since the requirements for Lot 1, Block 1 have been met, you may further develop Lot 1, Block 2 in accordance with the detention capacity provided and all other applicable development standards. I hope this information has been helpful, let me know if you have any further questions.

They are currently constructing the approved detention pond for the Greens Prairie Center Area. They will be turning in revised plans to make the pond more of an amenity. But, they need to get a temporary CO on the current pond when completed to satisfy contractual obligations. They would like to bond out of the landscaping since they will be revising the pond and don't want to end up destroying what they put in. Please email him and copy Joe Schultz regarding how to go about bonding out of landscaping. I believe he would prefer the check method, but wants to know the particulars as far as what needs to be turned in to satisfy this requirement. Thanks! Carol From: Jason Schubert To: parvizvessali@yahoo.com CC: Cotter, Carol; joe@cdlbcs.com Date: 5/30/2008 1:45 PM Subject: landscape bond Parviz, I wanted to follow up on your conversation with Carol earlier today regarding the detention site in Greens Prairie Center. You may bond out of the landscaping to get a temp CO. The bond (which can be done with a check) is to be in the amount of 150% of the landscape bid. A copy of the bid is to be provided with the bond that itemizes the different components (i.e. trees, sod, irrigation). As a FYI, I looked at the approved landscape plan and it appears the calculations were off and much more landscaping was provided than required. I hope this helps, let me know if you have any questions.

The developer at this time is looking to plat and develop the hatched area that is 6.4 acres. He will build Lakeway with a subsequent phase. He was somewhat reluctant to show the ultimate buildout because he wasn't sure how it really may develop (i.e. hotels/retail/office/etc.) but I told him to show it so that we can see how much development is left to support the cost of construction of Lakeway. We know access issues will be of concern and we will need to work with you guys as well as TxDOT on those. We are currently looking at the ramp relocations to see where those may be located. Hope the drawing helps. Let me know if you guys need anything else to make your review easier. I do have the Greens Prairie Road widening plans that are adjacent to this property and the raised median goes the whole way from SH6 to Lakeway as the first median opening.
