ENGINEERING COMMENTS NO. 1
1. If you do not plan on dedicating the appropriate easements at this time, a blanket utility
easement must be dedicated prior to construction plans being released. The appropriate
easements must be dedicated prior to the easement abandonment being forwarded to legal
and council. I would recommend that the easement abandonment and dedication process
begin as soon as possible.
2. Please submit a development permit application and fees to accompany the Site Plan
application for the "Redevelopment of Culpepper Plaza". An additional development
permit and fees is required because not all improvements where included with the Phase
Zero construction documents.
3. Please submit engineer's cost estimate.
4. Please verify that the proposed 5000sf Pad Site will have adequate fire lane and fire flow
coverage. The CoCS fire department would probably not want to have to park on Texas
Avenue to fight a fire.
5. Please verify that the proposed 5000sf Pad Site will have adequate room for a drive thru etc,
if needed.
6. Please submit a fire flow analysis (Using Fire Code B105.1 and C105.1) for the overall
center,as the fire lane configuration has changed.
7. Although the improvements of Phase Zero are shown on this site plan, please advise that
they are under separate permit and approval.
8. Please verify that all line lane turning radius meet our minimum requirements.
9. (Sheet CVL-02) The water demands and water meter illustrated on the previously submitted
"Box Culvert and Utility Relocation Plans" equal a 1.5-in meter, however on this sheet the
water meter is shown to be a 2-in meter. The proposed water demands call for a 1.5-in
meter.
10. (Sheet CVL-09) Storm Sewer SD-1,like to see at least a 1-ft separation between the existing
water main and the proposed storm junction box.
11. In addition to the following standard comments, if more than 5 acres will be disturbed
during construction of this project a NOI must be filed with the state and a copy provided
to the CoCS. Storm water management requirements are as follows, any questions may be
directed to Donnie Willis,CoCS Drainage Inspector,at 979-764-6375:
Storm Water Discharges from Small Construction Activities
The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality has issued a general permit for construction
activities under the Texas Pollution Discharge Elimination System.The general permit(TXR150000)
is for construction activities disturbing at least 1 but less than 5 acres or is part of a common plan of
development disturbing at least 1 but less than 5 acres.
You will need to follow these steps to discharge storm water from your construction site to the City
of College Station's Municipal Separate Storm Water Sewer System (MS4):
