The Operation and Easement Agreement Between Dayton Hudson Corporation and H.E. Butt Grocery Company and Culpepper Realty Company is still under review. 2. Since parking spots are being removed, calculate the required parking (i.e. store square footages, parking ratios, and required spots) for the entire shopping center, including the Target portion. This should be provided in graphical and tabular format. 3. Provide the indoor cafe and outdoor seating area square footages. 4. The width of the drive aisle for two-way traffic and 90 degree parking is 23'. According to UDO Section 7.2.C.5, dimensions for spaces, aisles, and modules are measured from wall to wall (face of curb). Revise dimensions accordingly. 5. According to the UDO Section 7.231, the minimum number of queuing spaces for a drive-through restaurant (which includes cafes) is 4 spaces for the order box and 3 spaces between the order box and pick-up window. Since no order box is being constructed,provide 6 queue spots for the window. 6. Show the location of the menu board(s). 7. As per UDO Section 7.9.B.5,provide a bike facility that stores a minimum of 4 bicycles. 8. Provide curb and pavement,and bike rack details from the City of College Station Site Design Standards.

Provide a general note that all roof and ground-mounted mechanical equipment shall be screened from view or isolated so as not to be visible from any public right-of-way or residential district within 150' of the subject lot,measured from a point five feet above grade. Such screening shall be coordinated with the building architecture and scale to maintain a unified appearance. Reviewed by: Jason Schubert Date: October 16, 2006 LANDSCAPING/STREETSCAPING/BUFFER 1.

The fire lane should be located completely outside of the drive-thru aisle. The fire lane may cross the aisle at the rear of the fifth car in the queue. Please revise the fire lane on sheets 5 and 6. It is your discretion whether the fire lane replace the proposed 8" yellow stripe or be placed on the two-way drive aisle side next to it. 2. For clarity,remove the"drive-thru"and arrow pavement markings from sheets 4 and 6. 3. The submitted parking analysis is acceptable (sheet 8), provided that some corrections be made. The corrections are intended to increase the accuracy of the analysis and are to be revised on the aerial and table. I have verified the following through a site visit: Dayton Hudson Center: a. Instead of the 13 space segment,there are 11 located along the rear property line behind Target. b. Counting from the main drive aisle that divides the two centers and connects to Texas Avenue, the fourth and fifth parking rows to the south need revision. Instead of the four sets of 10 in these rows, the two segments closest to Texas (east side of cart returns) have 13 spaces and the two segments closer to Target have 9 spaces. c. There is a net gain of 2 spaces in the Dayton Hudson Center. HEB Center: d. Instead of 8 spaces,there are 7 directly behind Gatti Town (next to the other set of 7). e. Along the front of Hastings and over to Gatti Town, there are two sets of 15 spaces separated by a brick paver island,instead of one long row of 26. f. The area of parking between the main drive aisle described above and the"New bank and Men's Warehouse" (Texas Pavilion Retail Center) are owned by the HEB Center and should be included. There are 12 spaces in the segment adjacent to the main drive aisle. Going north from the drive aisle and adjacent to Texas Avenue, there are 5 spaces, a landscaped island, and then 8 more spaces. The two rows parallel to Texas just to the west of this perimeter row contain 6 spaces each. The next set of two rows toward Gatti Town contain 7 spaces each. g. There is a net gain of 54 spaces in the HEB Center.

The Legal Department has verified the submitted Operation and Easement Agreement is valid. 2. The parking graphic (civil plan sheet 6 of 6) is not legible enough to verify the information in the calculations table. Submit a diagram that clearly delineates the parking spaces and end islands for the entire shopping center. 3. It appears the outdoor seating calculation includes the sidewalk and brick paver area outside of the cafe. At least three feet of the sidewalk needs to remain designated for pedestrian traffic along the front of the building. Please recalculate and indicate the designated area. 4. Provide dimensions for the indoor cafe. Any area designated for cafe use should be included. 5. Five drive-thru queue spaces will be permitted as long as safety, traffic control and vehicle queuing concerns are addressed. Directional arrow pavement markings will be required at the drive-thru entrance and exit with the isle marked as "Drive-thru." Two-way pavement marking arrows are to be placed on the drive-isle between the drive-thru and end island. A second menu board placed near the third queue car can help reduce the queue load and enhance vehicle maneuvering in the vicinity. 6. The proposed site plan eliminates a portion of the sidewalk along the side of the building. As per Unified Development Ordinance Article 3.5.E, for pedestrian safety and circulation, crosswalks are to be provided to reconnect the front and side sidewalks through the brick paver island by the drive-thru window. In addition,provide a crosswalk from the front sidewalk to end island and construct a sidewalk through the end island to the sidewalk along Holleman Drive. It is recommended that the crosswalks consist of brick pavers to be distinguished from other pavement markings. 7. As per the Fire Department, fire lanes should be striped along the entire length of the two-way drive isle on the side of the building. 8. Remove the cone barricades from the Improvement Plan (civil plan sheet 3 of 6). 9. Consolidate all site plan sheets into one set.
