Re: Building Materials for The Factory project—Northgate
Dear Jennifer,
We are pleased to submit for the City's approval our Site Plan Application along with our
building plans for The Factory, located at 418 College Main. As part of the application a
list of the building materials, along with samples and colors, are required by the City.
Please allow us to use The Warehouse located at 405 Cross Street in Northgate as our
sample and color submittal. All facades and colors will be duplicated by The Factory so
that the two buildings will be viewed as sister buildings at either end of the same block.
The brick, the awnings, the roof,the windows, and the doors will be both the same colors
and material as was approved for The Warehouse.
Thank you.

Re: Factory Apartments: fire flow report
Dear Mr. Gibbs:
Enclosed for your review and approval is the fire flow report calculations for the Factory
Apartment buildings.
The building is a type V-A, 94,766 square feet on three floors. According to the 2003 IFC
Appendix B, it requires 5500 GPM x 0.5 for sprinkler installation or 2750 GPM required fire
flow.
Appendix C requires 3 hydrants at 425 maximum spacing. This condition is met by the existing
facilities.
Based on a nominal system pressure of 75 psi and a fire flow of 1000 GPM per hydrant, the
residual pressure at the three hydrants will be 67.6 psi, 72.1 psi, and 73.5 psi.
Please review at your earliest possible convenience and call if additional information is required.
Sincerely,

revisions:
Ms. Jennifer Prochazka,
PLANNING COMMENTS NO. 3
1. Please show how you are proposing to screen the transformer and electrical switchgear
from the right-of-way. Transformer and switchgear are now located within the brick
fence around the trash compactor.
2. Please remove details that are not proposed with this project (ie: #2 Wood Fence Elevation
and #3 Wood Fence Section). The wood fence is a side yard fence between the pool
and Lot 7.
3. Please provide more information on the curb detail (dimensions, rebar, etc).
4. The minimum requirements for sidewalks include either #3 bars @ 12" o.c. or #4 bars @
18" o.c. Please revise details. For items 3 & 4 details 8A3 and 9A3 are revised. Detail
7A3 added.
Mr. Alan Gibbs,
ENGINEERING COMMENTS NO. 2
8. Provide a Fire Flow report meeting local Fire Code requirements. I have provided flow
data on 5 of the hydrants in the vicinity by email. Flow data has been provided by the
civil engineers (Binkley & Barfield).
9. Clarification as to the locations of hydrants and meters (in relation to the sidewalk, street
curb, etc.). Hydrants and meters are shown on A2 and civil drawings.
10. The downspouts should be designed to discharge underneath the sidewalk either into a
storm drain if available, or through the curb. Downspouts are to connect to the storm
sewer system. Notes added to A2 and shown on civil drawings.

Staff Review Comments No. 2
City of College Station
We have reviewed the staff comments dated February 5, 2007 and submit the following
revisions:
PLANNING
1. Please include the current zoning of the subject property on the site plan (repeat comment).
Added to sheet A-2.
2. Balconies, canopies and awnings that are over public right-of-way require a Private
Improvement in Public Right-of-way (PIP) permit. (repeat comment) The PIP must be

private property. (repeat comment) This easement must be described by metes & bounds

Will Provide.
4. Please provide detail and material for all sidewalks (including interior). (repeat comment)
5. ,,Please provide curb detail. (repeat comment)
• 6. Please remove details of items not proposed with this project.
For items 4, 5, & 6 we revised and added details on sheet A-3.
• 7. Please show location of transformer on the site plan.
'Add preliminary location provided by Brent Read of College Station Electric.
8. Per section 5.6.6.4.c, Architectural Relief, all facades facing a right-of-way must incorporate
at least two design elements from the list per 25' section for facades facing a right-of-way
and two different design elements per 60' section on the first two stories for all other
facades. The parking garage elevations are not meeting this requirement. (repeat comment)
/Revised nomenclature on Sheets GA-4 and GA-5.
9. The proposed wood fence screening for the trash compactor does not meet minimum
requirements. The following language is from the UDO: "Solid waste storage areas,
mechanical equipment, air conditioning, electrical meter and service components, and
similar utility devises, whether ground level, wall mounted, or rood mounted, shall be
screened from view from rights-of-way. Exterior screening materials shall be opaque and
the same as predominantly used on the exterior of the principal building. Such screening
shall be coordinated with the building architecture, colors, and scaled to maintain a unified
appearance. Acceptable methods of screening various equipment included encasements,
parapet walls, partition screens, or brick walls."
Revised note and details. Providing brick fence detailed on A-3.
,• 10lease remove the 'abandoned utility easement' from the site plan.
4yY
Removed.
11.Has the "new 10' public utility easement' been dedicated?
`Dedication is in progress.
12. The landscape plan and site plan are not consistent. The landscape plan only provides 7
trees on College Main. Eight are required. Please reconcile.
13. The "landscape calculations" on the landscape plan are not correct.
til --
14. Please remove notes on the landscape plan that are not applicable to this project (ie: a note
'1about crepe myrtles).
15. Please provide information about the street tree soil (details in the Site Design Standards).
Items 12, 13, 14, and 15 will be resubmitted separately.
ENGINEERING
1. To be returned under separate cover within the next five days.
Engineering drawings are included in sets resubmitted to Ben McCarty from
building review.
SANITATION
1. The curved curbline just south of the compactor needs to be adjusted 10 feet to the
south. In order to service the compactor, the truck must be able to back in and have 30
feet clear space from the bollard to the curbline.
Compactor has been moved 10' North to provide needed space.
FIRE
1. Please show the location of the FDC for the dry pipe /stand pipe system required for the
parking garage.
FDC added on A-2 at Southeast stair well facing Tauber Street.
2. Since the exterior door that accesses the fire riser closet is located within the courtyard
area, the gate at the end of the courtyard will need to remain unlocked at all times.
Will provide "Knox Box" at court yard gate with access card for Fire Department
use.
ELECTRICAL
1. Before work is to begin the Cross St. Utility Easement (The Warehouse Apartments)
-must be signed and filed.
All proper paperwork must be completed and signed before the work to relocate the
overhead line begins. Until the service request form is signed and the proper conduit
and switchgear run in the ground, the overhead line running through the property cannot
be removed.
Will provide items 1 and 2 as required.
3. Proposed Utilities Plan, Sheet C-6 does not include the proper electric layout. For
approved electrical removal and installation plans contact Brent Read at 979.764.5026
