We would like to have the enclosure at the west center of the complex turned to face north instead of south. Reviewed by: Wally Urrutia Date: March 13, 2009 FIRE 1. FDC locations need to be within 150 feet of a fire hydrant, located on the firelane side of the building. Most likely you will need to remote them out to the firelane. 2. If this is going to be gated, please show knox switches on gate. 3. Parking lot phasing does not meet requirements for fire turnaround. The entire parking lot must be completed with phase 1. Reviewed by: Eric Dotson Date: March 16, 2009 ENGINEERING COMMENTS NO. 5 1. The proposed utility easements should not be dedicated directly adjacent to proposed structures, please allow for separation between the structure or any ground mounted HVAC units and the proposed easement. 2. The proposed FDC connections need to be located on the building fronts closest to the adjacent fire lane. Please verify that no FDC connections are further than 150 feet from a fire hydrant. 3. On the fire suppression line, an isolation valve is required just inside the PUE. Also note on the plans that fire suppression lines shall have a lockable lid on the isolation valve. The lockable lid shall, at a minimum supply protection as the AMP or USA, LL562 Locking Lid. Alternate lockable lids shall be approved by College Station Utilities Director or his designee. 4. The proposed easements to cover the fire lines should not project toward the structures. Once the isolation valve (described in comment#2) is set the easement should end. After the isolation valve the fire line becomes private. 5. Please illustrate the proposed domestic and irrigation meter sizes. 6. (SP 4) The proposed "DW" water line needs to be removed. The proposed domestic water lines need to be tapped off the proposed 8 inch water main. This detail should be shown on C3 with the other water improvements instead of SP4. 7. The proposed meters for each building should be in a meter bank and should only require a single tap per building off the 8 inch main. 8. All meters should be located within an easement. 9. (C3 and C4) The tee connection between water line A and B needs 2 gate valves. 10. (C4) Please use a cross instead of the offset double tee connection at Sta. 3+20 on Water Line A. This cross will require 3 gate valves. 11. Please illustrate all proposed valves and connection in plan and profile. 12. The proposed private sanitary sewer line must have a clean out every 100 feet. Please illustrate sanitary sewer service line size, material type, and slope. A 6-in sewer tap is required for commercial development. If you intend to tie to the existing public sanitary sewer manhole, please provide proposed and existing flow line data to verify that a drop manhole is not required. 13. Please dedicate blanket easement and all permanent easements required by electrical and for the proposed water improvements. Please use the City's standard easement dedication form. The development permit for this project cannot be issued until the blanket easement is executed. This process typically takes several weeks. The permanent public utility easement dedication must take place prior to the acceptance of the proposed public utilities. 14. Please submit letter of acknowledgement that can be found at bcsunited.net 15. Please submit the construction details for the section of sidewalk that bridges the drainage flume. The section must be bridged with continuous concrete. Please verify that the bridged section will allow for the appropriate cross sectional area. Please provide cross sectional detail of this proposed section and verify that the sidewalk improvement will meet ADA standards. 16. The drainage report we have on file for this project is dated June 27, 2008. Does this report data reflect the most recent site modification, if not please re-submit report. 17. Please submit technical design summary with drainage report. 18. Based on the data from the drainage report dated June 27, 2008 the parking lot appears to be detaining more than 6 inch of run-off. Please verify with the report that the proposed "parking lot" detention areas do not collect water more than 6-in in depth during the 100-yr storm event per our local storm water design guidelines. 19. Have the adjacent structure been elevated sufficiently to avoid any flooding issues as a result of a blocked storm pipe? 20. Although the run-off is being returned to pre development flows, it is now a point discharge. Please verify that the runoff being discharged onto Jones-Butler and Luther will be completely contained within the curb/gutter section or at a minimum leaving one 12 foot lane on Jones-Butler and Luther clear of run off during the 100 year event.

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): 1. Read the general permit (TXR150000) to make sure it applies to your situation. 2. Adhere to the requirements of the general permit (TXR150000). 3. Prepare and implement a Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan in accordance with Part III of the general permit (TXR150000). 4. Sign and post a construction site notice. 5. At least 2 days before beginning construction, provide a copy of the site notice to the operator of any Municipal Separate Storm Water Sewer System (MS4) into which storm water will be discharged. A MS4s include streets, channels, gutters, ditches or anything else that is publicly owned, designed or used to collect or transport storm water. As long as you meet the conditions of this general permit, you are authorized to discharge storm water. No notice of intent (NOI), notice of termination (NOT), or fee is required under this option—as long as the requirements of this general permit are followed. This particular general permit will expire at midnight on March 5, 2008.
