PLANNING & LANDSCAPING COMMENTS
1. Thank you for adding the note regarding screened roof and ground-mounted mechanical
equipment to sheet A2.2. Please add the note to the site plan to ensure that the contractor's
site plan will also include that note.
2. Staff has noted the improvements to pedestrian access from the drive-thru side of the
parking lot to the restaurant. Please delineate a pedestrian crosswalk from the curb cut to
the restaurant either with paint or decorative pavers.
3. UDO Section 7.5.C.4 requires 50% of required points for a project must be canopy trees.
The plan indicates there are 300 points of the 482.5 required points provided. Please adjust
the plan to meet this standard.
4. Please note that any changes made to the plans, that have not been requested by the City
of College Station, must be explained in your next transmittal letter and "bubbled" on your
plans. Any additional changes on these plans that the City has not been made aware of will
constitute a completely new review.

ENGINEERING COMMENTS NO. 1
1. Both the domestic and irrigation meters need to be located in the median (outside of
pavement). You may check with the Utility Department about the possibility of placing both
the domestic and irrigation meters off one tap from the main.
2. The isolation valve needs to be installed inside the PUE. The isolation valve should be
separate from the vault and represents the transition between public and private.
3. I assume using the below grade vault as opposed to putting the backflow preventer in the
building is a requirement of Chick-fil-a, as it is not a requirement of the City of College
Station.
