As per the direction of the City of College Station Building Official, the wood deck must
be removed from the site plan, except 600 SF not including the stage. If the deck area
is removed completely, this site will not meet the 1:1 Floor to Area Ratio required for the
NG-1 zoning district. Please contact Chris Haver or Ben McCarty to discuss decking
alternatives. If you do not intend to construct a deck covering the pedestrian area,
please submit a Zoning Board of Adjustments application to request a variance to this
requirement.
y? As discussed over the phone on May 1, in an effort to increase pedestrian safety along
v Patricia Street, the curb cut is not required to meet commercial driveway standards.
Please remove the detail that references the commercial driveway standards, the grey
lines labeled as "diminishing" curb, and the proposed commercial driveway label.
Instead, please show and label a lay-down curb that is to be installed at the existing curb
cut and add a detail of that curb to the site plan. Thank you for making this revision.
vi The maximum setback from the back of the curb is 20'. Part of the building is 21.5' from
the property line along Patricia. If there is not a way to bring that portion of the building
closer to the property line, an Administrative Adjustment may be applied for since it is
less than 10% of the requirement.
Please show or provide a note that the tree gates are at the back of curb along Patricia.
I. As previously discussed, TxDOT has expressed that they do not want trees and
benches in their right-of-way. Please move these items closer to the fenced area in
preparation for the Design Review Board review. Your DRB waiver request has been
received and will be scheduled for the next available meeting upon the application
becoming complete.
Please update the submittal date.
rI 7. Please update the property line information using the new survey and revise the site
• plan note that refers to the 1999 survey that was being used previously. Thanks.
The following applications have either not been submitted or have been submitted
incomplete: PIP, TxDOT, Easement Dedication, DRB.
The submitted document intending to dissolve the private access agreement between
205 and 209 University Drive is still under legal review.
Please note that any changes made to the plans, that have not been requested by the
City of College Station, must be explained in your next transmittal letter and "bubbled" on
your plans. Any additional changes on these plans that the City has not been made
aware of will constitute a completely new review.

1. Please clearly identify TxDOT's right-of-way as shown on the required survey.
2. The Public Access Easement along Patricia St. only needs to be 5-ft since 3-ft of the 8-ft
sidewalk is already within the public right-of-way.
3. (Repeat Comment) Please dimension and label the Public Access Easements along
Patricia St. and University Dr. It is difficult to discern what area will be encompassed by the
PAE. Please use leaders or shading to show the limits/dimensions of the PAE. Also, the
label should specify that the PAE will be dedicated by separate instrument.
4. (Repeat Comment) Please submit an Easement Dedication Application and associated
documents for the required Public Access Easements. This is required to be submitted prior
to site plan approval and executed prior to issuance of the Certificate of Occupancy.
5. (Repeat Comment) Landscaping including trees and benches will not be permitted within
TxDOT's right-of-way.
6. (Repeat Comment) Please submit a Private Improvements in a Public Right-of-Way
Application and associated documents. This application must be approved prior to site plan
approval. Since there will not be any trees or benches permitted in TxDOT's right-of-way,
the PIP application will only need to include the trees being added along Patricia St.
7. (Repeat Comment) FYI ... A TxDOT permit will be required for any improvements in the
TxDOT right-of-way including new curb and gutter. As a reminder, the TxDOT Driveway
Permit Application must be submitted prior to site plan approval and approved prior to
commencement of construction in TxDOT ROW.
