Tali ma i 0 MITCHELL MM MORGAN Crissy Hartl April 14, 2007 City of College Station Planning & Development Services 1101 Texas Avenue S. College Station, Texas 77840 RE:Specs Liquor—DRB Submittal for Facade Change Dear Crissy& DRB members: Some of you may recall the submittal and subsequent approval for the Culpepper Shopping Center Renovations which are currently under construction. As this center is being revitalized, there have been many new tenant requests. One such request is coming from Specs Liquor which has signed a lease for a space within the shopping center. In working with Specs, they have requested an upgrade to the building façade in front of their lease space. This space will be at the far south end of the main building where the old Appletree grocery store was located. Per our meeting with the DRB on May 24, 2006, this shopping center was granted several variances. As it relates to this current request: • we requested and were granted the ability to utilize pilasters and decorative lighting elements to meet the requirement for two architectural elements every 45 feet, (the DRB asked that we provide 3 pilasters instead of 2) and • we requested and were granted relief to the façade articulation requirement due to the structural nature of the existing columns and colonnade on the building. We are NOT requesting a variance with this submittal as they have already been granted. Rather, we are requesting action from the DRB to approve the façade changes requested by Specs Liquor. Attached are drawings illustrating the approved or"old" south elevation for Building B as well as the new south elevation for Building B. We believe that the new façade is more attractive due to: • Additional vertical articulation, • the additional brick, and • the additional pilasters. 511 UNIVERSITY DRIVE EAST,SUITE 204• COLLEGE STATION,TX 77840• T. 979.260.6963• F 979 260.3564 CIVIL ENGINEERING • HYDRAULICS• HYDROLOGY• UTILITIES• STREETS• SITE PLANS• SUBDIVISIONS infoemitchellandmorgan.com • www.mitchellandmorgan.com It gives this portion of the shopping center a complementary look to the remainder of the center. The arched area between the columns will be removed and squared off, making it look similar to the opposite end (north) of this same building. We are still retaining the decorative lighting and pilaster elements as our architectural features, although you will note that the pilasters and columns are a bit more embellished. All previously approved materials and colors being used on the shopping center will be used here as well. This request is simply a change in the location and amount of the materials being utilized. Thank you for your consideration of our request. We hope that you agree that these upgrades will improve the overall aesthetics of the shopping center. incerely, 6f, i)1 4-\ Veronica J. M rga P.E.
