BUILDING PERMIT ISSUES ON BUILDING FACADE- RESPONSE - (ELEVATIONS A-D), THE DRAWINGS THAT HAVE FOUR DIFFERENT FACADES WERE INFORMATIONAL DRAWINGS REPRESENTING IDEAS, WHERE I WAS CONSIDERING CHANGES TO THE OUTSIDE FACADE OVER AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME: IN PHASES. ELEVATIONS A-D FROM TODD MCILHANEY, ARE NOT PART OF OUR SITE PLAN, AND I HAD NO INTENTIONS OF THOSE BEING PART OF OUR FIRST SITE PLAN. THE ONLY CHANGE FOR EXISTING ELEVATION IS NOTED IN THE CURRENT SITE PLAN, DRAWING, ATTACHED (A-1 ). MY APOLOGIES FOR THE CONFUSION I WAS LETTING EVERYONE KNOW OUR GOALS ARE IDENTICAL AS MY PLAN FOR THE PROPERTY IS TO INCORPORATE THE ELEVATION INTO THE CURRENT NORTHGATE FACADE BUT FUNDS FOR THIS SCOPE OF WORK WILL LIMIT THESE CHANGES TO BE IMPLEMENTED AND APPROVED AT A LATER DATE. • THE STAIRCASE LOCATED ON THE BACK OF CEDAR LANE PROPERTY (303 COLLEGE MAIN) IS A FUTURISTIC PROJECT TO BE ADDRESSED AT A LATER TIME AS PART OF THE 301 COLLEGE MAIN PROJECT, (CHASE BANK BUILDING). 301 AND 303 ARE BOTH OWNED BY ROBERT FOREST. • CEDAR LANE OUTSIDE PAINT COLOR HAS BEEN CHOSEN FROM COLLEGE STATION OUTSIDE PAINT CHOICES: OAK Moss 6180, SAMPLE IS MATCHED PERFECTLY TO THE GREEN FONT ON THIS MEMO.

BIKE RACK- RESPONSE: MODEL# 2175 SUPER CYCLOOPS OR EQUAL, PLACEMENT NOTED ON REQUESTED DRAWINGS, ATTACHED. A-1 2A. PAVERS- RESPONSE: I BELIEVE STAMPED DECORATIVE CONCRETE FOR THE SIDEWALK, OFFERS THE MOST AESTHETICALLY PLEASING CHOICE FOR THIS SITE. I HAVE COME TO THIS CONCLUSION BASED ON THE SIDEWALK DETAIL TO THE NORTH OF US, WHERE OUR SIDEWALK WOULD MEET THE COLLEGE STATION PARKING GARAGE SIDEWALK. THE CITY OF COLLEGE STATION PARKING GARAGE HAS STAMPED DECORATIVE CONCRETE. To THE SOUTH OF CEDAR LANE WHERE OUR SIDEWALK WOULD MEET, NORTHGATE PLAZA ALSO HAS STAMPED DECORATIVE CONCRETE. USING PAVERS IN BETWEEN THESE TWO SITES WOULD RESULT IN A NON- FLOWING CONTINUITY OF THE SIDEWALK. REFERENCING, P. 29 FROM COLLEGE STATIONS' SITE DESIGN STANDARDS; "ALL SIDEWALKS ON THE SAME BLOCK SHALL USE THE SAME BRICK PATTERN". USING STAMPED DECORATIVE CONCRETE WOULD ACCOMPLISH THIS GOAL, AND PROVIDE A UNIFORM UNINTERRUPTED FLOW OF BRICK DETAIL TO THE SIDEWALK ON COLLEGE MAIN, SERVICING THESE THREE SITES. 3.

We have a contractor that is having difficulty with the requirements to put in the 4-inch caliper trees required by the UDO, and wanted to find out what we had done on the City's recent projects, and I can't find anything we reviewed except the restroom project.
