I need the legal description (the platted description) for other work I am doing for them. They seemed to think they were very close to getting the plat filed. They thought from other meetings with you that because Lot 1 had the water line on its boundary, they would not have to provide a bond for the water line serving the development (or actual construction). Time is getting very critical. Can I set a meeting with you to discuss what other items need to be defined? In order to make the market, construction needs to begin very quickly.

I have informed them that the waterline in accordance with the Master Utility Plan (detail 3 attached) needs to be built or bonded before filing - this is noted in the attached memos and emails. He contends since the lots have utilities existing the 12" waterline required by the Master Utility Plan can be built with the site and that they were mis- informed. I've asked for Angela to join the meeting and provided this as background information.

April 7, 2006 Mr. Larry Watkins Project Manager The Dovetail Companies 1550 Timothy Road Suite 201 Athens, GA 30606 RE: The Woodlands of College Station Dear Mr. Watkins: E Suite 320 9300 Wade Blvd, Frisco, Texas 75035 972-335-3580 972-335-3779 - fax Per your request we have reviewed the construction plans for The Woodlands of College Station prepared by MDG with revisions dated February 16, 2006. The following are our concerns and comments with the plans based on our 3 hour review: 1. Floodplain\Floodway — We did not see a floodplain reclamation plan for the existing floodplain and floodway which allows for the filling of the floodplain/floodway for the construction of buildings 10, 11, 36 to 39 and 46. Our experience indicates filling of the floodway is not allowable and filling in the floodplain requires a CLOMR\LOMR submittal with the City and FEMA. This process typically requires the developer to model the floodplain and show the improvements will not create an increase in the upstream water surface elevation of more than .01 feet. Has a CLMR\LOMR been prepared for this project? 2. Bridges — Per our discussions there are three bridges to be constructed on the access roads. The plans indicate one bridge crossing which lacks the detail needed to construct. We assume the plans we will be preparing for the access road will address the remaining two bridges from Southwest Parkway. 3. Grading — The grading for the project is incomplete and lacking finish contours and spot elevations suitable for a contractor to construct. Also, per our calculations based on the limited amount of information, about 92,000 cubic yards of fill we be needed to grade the site to the elevations shown. We do not know if these grades take into account the floodplain reclamation. The plan set lacks an overall grading plan. Grades are shown on a few of the sheets but in no particular order. 4. Sanitary Sewer — The sanitary sewer system appears to be designed on average 3 to 5 feet deeper than needed to serve the site. The design could incorporate drop manholes to the existing mains to eliminate depth of the proposed construction. The Sanitary Sewer main alignments may be reworked more efficiently to reduce the amount of pipe. G:\65167000-%k?oodlamds-CS,Proj\Comes-Outl-etterslam Watkins 4-7-06.DOC 5. Storm Sewer — The plans to do not indicate any underground storm sewer for the project. Since the grading plan is lacking sufficient detail to understand how the site is grading, we question how a site this size and relatively flat would not have an underground storm sewer system to convey run-off away from the buildings and parking areas. The grading plan does not indicate swales or drainage courses for the run-off. Additionally, we found some areas that appeared to be low points with the proper indication of run-off conveyance. We would anticipate there being some type of storm drainage system for the project. 6. Drainage Area Map — The plans do not indicate where the different drainage areas outfall. Also, there appears to be off-site drainage coming to the site from the north east corner not accounted for in the design. 7. Water Distribution — The layout of the water distribution system does not appear to be efficient. There may be other ways to align the water system to accomplish the fire and domestic service needs and reduce the length of pipe. 8. Retaining Walls - We could not find grading information on the retaining walls. The plans indicate walls but do not give wall elevations for the locations. The walls do not appear to tie into proposed grades; they are drawn in an area not graded. 9. Ravin — The pavement sections are unclear as to where the three different sections are to be constructed. What is the basis for the pavement design? Are these city standards or were they based of a geotech report for the site? 10. Signaize and Markings — We did not see a plan indicating signage and marking of pavement for stop signs, yield signs, etc. We note the plan indicates a fire lane. 11. Site Plan — There is not a site plan indicating parking counts, handicap spaces and accessible sidewalks. The lack of a grading plan also hinders the ability to review the location of handicap spaces for slope concerns. The site plan should also show building setbacks, distances between buildings and other site related constraints. 12. Plat and/or Boundary Survey — The plans do not contain a plat or boundary survey showing the limits of the project. Existing and proposed easements are not indicated clearly on the drawings. 13. Demolition plan — There is not a demolition plan indicating areas to be removed such as parts of Christine Lane. 14. Dimension Control Plan — There is not a dimension control plan providing the contractor buildings corner and paving points for layout and construction of the site. We found some fire lanes do not comply with Unified Fire Code of internal turning radius for fire trucks. Due to the lack of dimension labels we could not established what radii complies with the codes. 15. Tree Mitigation — We did not see a tree mitigation plan or survey indicating the removal or preservation of existing trees. 16. SWPPP - The plans contain an Erosion Control Plan but do not contain information related to a Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan. For a site of this size siltation ponds are typically required. We could not identify the location or the existence of siltation ponda. An area has to be designated for topsoil and earthwork stockpiling with proper erosion control measures. The plans appear to be missing information and lack the detail needed to construct the project. The plans do state on the lower right hand corner that they should not be used for construction purposes. Is there possibly another set of updated construction documents? The plans we G'.65167000-Woodlvtds-CS1PrgllCor es-Out�LetteNsLarr>, Watkins 4-7-06 DOC reviewed appear to be inefficient in many aspects and the concern of the floodplain reclamation is an issue needing to be addressed immediately. The issues of most concern are: Floodplain Grading and Earthwork Paving sections Sanitary Sewer Storm Sewer Retaining walls Recommendation: Based on our review and experience with multifamily type projects, the site costs for this project may be reduced through a redesign of the site. Our preliminary earthwork projections indicated 92,000 CY of fill needing to be imported to the site. If we assume $7.00 a CY, the cost of fill will be $644,000. In addition, the sanitary sewer appears to be designed too deep and there is potential cost savings in raising the mains and providing drop manholes at connections. Regarding the paving, once the new geotech report is finalized there will better information of the paving recommendation and associated cost. There also may be a way to eliminate some of the retaining walls through re -grading the site. The wild card will be the effect of the CLOMR\LOMR related to floodplain reclarnation. We remain concerned the site does not indicate storrn sewer calculations. We believe some underground storm sewer will be required to carry the off-site flows coming to the site and to address the on-site run-off in specific areas. A redesign of the site would strive to eliminate the fill, revise the horizontal and vertical alignment of the sanitary sewer, review the layout of the water main, reduce the amount of retaining walls and incorporate storm sewer into the design for positive drainage. We will overnight to you our comments on the plans for delivery to you Monday morning. Please call me to discuss the project and options at your convenience. Sincerely, I\,,* ) � Kevin S.

From: Alan Gibbs To: Ellison, Chuck Date: 6/19/2006 4:39:03 PM Subject: The Woodlands of College Station Chuck In response to your inquiry to Deborah regarding the status of Final Plat, we are very close... We received the Letter of Credit on 6/16. However, we still need the engineer's estimate to include the costs associated with waterline bore and encasement at FM 2818 (which would appear to be approximately $25,000) and have the estimate sealed as well. The Letter of Credit should be increased accordingly. The Site Plan and Waterline Construction Plans are being stamped - simply awaiting Sheet LD.1 and Letter of Credit resolved to release the Site Plans. Sheet LD.1 which were omitted from the Landscape plans. This can be done by email to Trey simply confirm the counts. Please provide this in 11x17 digital format. Sewer Detail sheets were inadvertantly submitted, however I printed Water Details sheets to be included. Additionally, notes regarding the LOMR submittal, additional required items such as valves, blowoffs, and state permits I noted on the plans as well to avoid another resubmittal. Please let me know how I can help further. Alan Gibbs, P.E. Sr. Asst.

The associated surety has not been provided to date. Btw, we discussed that in the absense of revising the submitted plat, a future dedication or replat will be necessary to accommodate the revised northern drive veering out of the access easement - the same is true on the southern drive to 2818.

Sheet C-2: The proposed fill west of the creek should encroach into the Hike and Bike easement. This easement should be left in natural state and no vegetation removed. We assume you meant "should not" encroach. The plat will be updated to accommodate the easement in the proper location. 3. Sheet C-2, and C-22: Due to the height of the headwalls at the two crossings, provide appropriate rails and a sidewalk for pedestrian passage. Also, please clarify how the hike and bike pedestrian movements are to be accommodated. Additional, hike and bike easement appears necessary as well as a structural modifications near each bridge/drive. Guard rails have been provided on the crossing from Southwest. Guard rail and Handrails have been provided for the Christine Lane crossing. The Hike and bike easement ends at Christine Lane. Also the plat will be updated to accommodate the easement to connect with Christine Lane. Structural modifications will not be necessary once the easement is updated. 4. Waterline "F": Depict line on site plan, provide a 4" blow -off at end or relocate FH to end, provide a gate valve at Sta. 2+00. 11/15/2006 R.F.: Woodlands 4" blow -off and FH will be relocated. Steve, Response to attachment: 1. What is the status of the brigde design? 2. A zero -rise is required for the entire project. 3. It would be helpful to clarify in the report table and exhibits. Alan Gibbs, P.E. City of College Station Sr. Asst. City Engineer, Public Works >>> Alan Gibbs 10/6/2006 5:11 PM >>> Jerry/Flugo- Page 2 of 3 The associated ZBA variance for the bridge encroachment into the floodway was approved this last Tuesday (10-3-6). The last set of plans did not have a bridge design included. Please provide the subject bridge design as well as the revisions stated below for a new stamped sets. The City will need additional copies for the revisions: 7 full sets (Site, Construction, and Landscaping) 2 site plans only 1 landscaping only (if altered) 1 set of 11 x 17 grading and erosion control plans 4 additional engineers cost estimates Alan Gibbs, P.E. City of College Station Sr. Asst. City Engineer, Public Works >>> Alan Gibbs 9/25/2006 1 1:1 1 AM >>> Jerry/Kevin/Hugo, As discussed, the sizing of the RCI3Cs is acceptable. Specifically, 7— TxTs and 5— TxTs for the two drive crossings from Southwest Parkway. However, there are additional items below that should be revised before I stamp the plans: 11/15/2006 RE: Woodlands Page 3 of") 1. Sheet C-2: The proposed fill west of the creek should encroach into the Hike and Bike easement. This easement should be left in natural state and no vegetation removed. 2. Sheet C-25: Note in the typical blowups that the fire line from the main to the edge of the easement is to be 3" and a 3" gate valve is to be placed just inside the easement. (Beyond the easement and valve is private and can be reduced down to 2 /z"•) 3. Sheet C-2, and C-22: Due to the height of the headwalls at the two crossings, provide appropriate rails and a sidewalk for pedestrian passage. Also, please clarify how the hike and bike pedestrian movements are to be accommodated. 4. A public waterline will need to be extended to serve the hydrant proposed with the construction of the drive off Harvey Mitchell Parkway. 5. FYI - FDCs are not depicted on the cottages or Building #13. The fire line and FDC do not appear to line up on Building #39. Some of the specifics may be addressed with the Fire Marshall during construction. FYI - TxDOT has approved this drive off Harvey Mitchell Parkway. 7. FYI - FEMA has responded again to the LOMB Case #06-06-B753P submitted by MDG, by letter dated September 5, 2006 stating that a fee of $4,400 is required. At Dovetail's request, I have subsequently left a voicemail with Dr. Saleem Ashraf, P.E. (with Michael Baker for FEMA at 703/960-8800 x5229) to inform FEMA we wish this LOMR request be rescinded - and that a separate study was forthcoming. Also, I have let MDG know that I was contacting FEMA on Dovetail's behalf. 8. FYI - The ZBA variance associated with the floodway encroachment for the bridge with the drive from Harvey Mitchell Parkway is scheduled for the October 3rd ZBA Meeting which begins at 6pm here at City Hall's Council Chambers. Let me know if there are any questions. Alan Gibbs, P.E. City of College Station Sr. Asst. City Engineer, Public Works College Station. Heart of the Research Valley. 11/15/2006 Page 1 of 1 Lindsay Boyer - Woodlands Sign Application From: Lindsay Boyer To: pmazzone@thedovetailcompanies.com Date: 6/13/2007 4:12 PM Subject: Woodlands Sign Application CC: Crissy Hard MM We are unable to approve the sign package that was submitted to our office this morning (Permit 07-1771). The following is some detailed information about our sign regulations and what can be done within the confines of the ordinances. The property qualifies for one subdivision identification sign at each primary entrance for a total of two signs. These may be 150 square feet, a maximum of 15 feet in height, and setback 10 feet from the ROW. The entry signs that were submitted may work if they are revised to remove the commercial free standing portion and meet the requirements of a subdivision sign otherwise. We cannot permit a commercial sign without an approved site plan for a commercial project on those properties. Once that site plan has been approved we may issue a permit for a freestanding sign, however in order have multiple signs the building plot must be over 25 acres and have 1000 feet of frontage on a road OR be 15 acres and have frontage on two sides on a minor arterial or greater. Apartment identification signs must be on property that is zoned R-4 and cannot be offsite of the apartment property. The round -about features/sign are not on the lot for the apartment, nor are they in an area that is zoned R-4, leaving them to be qualified under freestanding commercial signs. Which as stated above, cannot be permitted on the site yet. Also, in order to qualify as an exempt sign under the visibility requirements, the sign must be 900 feet from any road or property line to be considered non-visible. Options include putting non-visible signs on the apartment property meeting the distance/font size requirements, and/or constructing the arbor and round about features without any signage attached under a separate building permit for accessory structures. Let me know if you have any questions. The ordinance I am referencing is the City of College Station Unified Development Ordinance Section 7.4, Signs which can be accessed at the following site: http:ljwww.cstx.gov/home[index.asp?page=418 Also, I will be out of town beginning on Thursday on a two week vacation. If you have any questions during that time, please contact Crissy Hard. She is familiar with the application as well as City regulations. Thanks - Lindsay Lindsay B.
