o Replace exterior doors. The existing exterior doors are in disrepair, do not
adequately secure the building and are not ADA compliant. New doors will be
installed for security, energy efficiency and ADA accessibility.
• Maintenance of the existing parking lot:
o Repair existing pavement. The existing parking lot will be maintained through
filling pot holes, restriping and an asphalt overlay.
Expansion of a nonconforming structure: The existing building is 2,475 square feet. This
proposal includes an expansion of the existing building by 1,144 square feet which is less than
the 50% allowed in the UDO, Section 9.3, Nonconforming Structures. The expansion proposed
to the existing building is as follows:
• Enlarge the kitchen to make it more functional. Addition of 420 square feet.
• Enlarge the existing restrooms to make them more functional and handicap accessible.
V The existing single staff restrooms are not ADA compliant and functionally obsolescent.
Addition of 303 square feet.
• Add a second story above the kitchen addition for storage. This addition is prompted by
staff's interpretation of UDO Section 5.7 Design District Dimensional Standards requiring
a second story on a structure built after April 2, 2006. Addition of 420 square feet.
other modifications: The applicant is proposing the following modifications in an attempt to
comply with the intent of the Northgate district:
• Demolition of storage buildings in the rear of the property. The existing dilapidated
storage buildings will be demolished.
• Addition of outdoor seating. An outdoor deck of approximately 961 net square feet will
be added with a decorative arbor to encourage outdoor activities.
Paint Colors: The following paint colors will be used with this project. Please see the building
elevation drawings on sheets A2.1, A2.2 and A3.1 for more specific information.
*/ Metal Roof - SW 7017 Dorian Gray
• v/Existing Brick/Faux Glaze - SW 7053 Adaptilk Shade
• /Facia - SW 7015 Repose Gray
• VPorch/Patio/Railings - SW 6145 1f"k4l
Traffic Impact Analysis: A site plan Traffic Impact Analysis (TIA) is not required with this
proposal. The proposed expansion will not generate more than 150 trips in any peak hour
period. In addition, the property is within the NG -1 Core Northgate zoning district and exempt
from providing a TIA as stated in the UDO, Section 7.12(C)2, Traffic Impact Analyses. We are not
proposing work within the University Drive right-of-way. All improvements shown within the
right-of-way are proposed by TOOT in their latest draft of construction plans. We're simply
reflecting their future plans.
Com..
We look forward to discussing this proposal with you further. If you have any questions or issues to
discuss, please do not hesitate to contact me directly on my cell phone at 979.229.6797. Thanks in
advance for your help in making Chimy's Cerveceria a success in College Station!

RESPONSE TO STAFF REVIEW COMMENTS NO. 1
Project: Chimy's Cerveceria (SP) — 11-00500196
Responses shown in italics.
PLANNING
1. Please provide or show: The following items were added to sheet A 0.5:
the building height (added in table)
a key map on A 0.5 (added on sheet A 0.5)
the total site area (added in table)
the zoning of the subject property (added on the sheet and shown on application)
the curb and pavement detail which will pertain to new improvements - (found in
the Site Design Standards) (Not added — no new curb or paving is
proposed.)
all utility meter locations (added on sheet A 0.5)
all utility lines (added on sheet A 0.5) Please make sure fire hydrant location is
correct. We originally showed an approximate location for the first submittal. It doesn't
make sense now in relation to the existing water line locations.
2. Please dimension: The following dimensions were added to sheet A0.5:
the perimeter property line boundaries
the parking spaces
the setbacks along Patricia
the maximum setback along University
the distance to abutting drives (These dimensions were not provided as we are
not proposing modifications to the existing driveways. The University Drive
improvements are being designed and constructed by TxDOT. We are simply reflecting
the most recent design and TxDOT plans.)
the driveway throat depth off of University Drive (the Patricia entrance is not
being altered) We are not altering the University Drive driveway. We're
simply reflecting the most recent plans to be constructed by TxDOT.
the existing 10' wide Public Utility easement along Patricia Street
3. The second -story addition must be a functional space to meet qualifications. Due to the
holidays, the Building division was not available to discuss the codes related to second story
ingress and egress. However, it is anticipated that exterior ladder access will not be sufficient for
a functioning second -story use. I will get back to you at a later time with more information. Also,
please label the portion of the building that is intended to be two-story. (Response: An exterior
stairway was added to sheet A 0.5 and the revised elevations. The portions of the building that
will be 2 story are the areas above the walk-in coolers and the areas above the kitchen addition
in the rear.
4. The site plan must be drawn using an engineering scale. Also, the scale does not appear to
be 1/16" as shown on the site plan. (Response: The site plan, sheet A 0.5 is drawn to an
engineering scale.)
5. Sanitation service for this use must be provided on site. Please contact Rodney Harris with
Sanitation for more information. A dumpster must be located within a 12'x12' enclosure that is
complimentary to the architecture of the building. (Response: See the proposed 12'x 12'
enclosure. The CMU wall will be painted to match the building.)
6. The property is shown by the Brazos County Appraisal District as being owned by Radakor,
LLC. Please add their information to the site plan, or provide documentation showing the proof
of sale. (Response: Information re: the current owner of the property was added to the site plan
sheet A 0.5. FYI, Radakor, LLC is currently the owner of the property. Chad Baccus has the
property under contract with the right to pursue site plan approval prior to closing.)
7. Please provide documentation that confirms the intended use as being a restaurant and not a
night club. (Response: Chimy's is a restaurant as stated on the site plan application. More
specifically, Chimy's is a "restaurant, fast food" as defined by the UDO, "An establishment that
offers quick food which is accomplished through a limited menu of items already prepared and
held for service, or prepared quickly. Orders are not generally taken at a customer's table and
food is generally served in disposable wrapping or containers" In addition, the alcohol sales for
a typical Chimy's restaurant is well below the 75% required by definition of a night club in the
UDO. For information pertaining to our operations and other established locations, please see
our website at www. chimys. com)
8. FYI ... The trellis -covered deck may be added without affecting the Floor -to -Area Ratio if left
as an open-air trellis. Plant material may be added to the trellis, but not impermeable material
such as fiberglass. If the roof is made impermeable, it will be counted toward FAR and will
cause the changes on site to exceed 50%. (Response: Noted.)
9. University Drive is labeled as a 40' right-of-way. Please revise this information. (Response:
At this location, University Drive varies in width as it widens for the Wellborn Road overpass.
The variable right-of-way width is noted on Sheet A 0.5. Again, no improvements are proposed
within the University Drive right-of-way with this site plan application.)
10. There are 7 spaces against the building that current exist and may be restriped. The site
plan shows 8. Please remove one proposed space. (Response: One space was eliminated to
have a parking row of 7 total spaces.)
11. The realigned parking row closet to University Drive cannot extend into the right-of-way. The
spaces may be curbed, but a 23' wide drive aisle must be provided for the handicap spaces.
(Response: The parking row was moved outside of the University Drive right-of-way and a drive
aisle wider than 23' was provided.)
12. The proposed parking row shown against the Schotzi's property currently exists as a drive
aisle. Though existing parking is being maintained and restriped on site, this parking is
considered an addition and is therefore not permitted according to Section 5.6 relating to
parking location, screening, and setbacks. Please remove this parking from the plan.
(Response: This parking row has been removed.)
13. Though existing parking spaces may be restriped in their current configuration, they should
be elongated when then the drive aisle width is conducive to the change. This comment pertains
to the fire lane drive. (Response: The fire lane was reduced to 23' from 26' in width. The
existing parking spaces were elongated as much as possible.)
14. If a tree is being added along University Drive, it must be irrigated. The tree in the right-of-
way should be removed since it is off-site and would require a TxDOT permit. (Response: No
work is proposed within the University Drive right-of-way. We are simply reflecting current
design and construction plans proposed by TxDOT.)
15. Please provide a note stating that there is no FEMA regulated floodplain on the subject
property while referencing the FIRM number. (Response: Note added to the site plan, Sheet A
0.5.)
16. Also, a note should be added that states that all mechanical equipment, utilities, and solid
waste storage areas shall be screened from view from the right-of-way using an opaque
material predominantly found in the principal building. (Response: General note added to
Sheet A 0.5)
17. Provide a general note on the site plan that states the following: Exterior building and site
lighting will meet the standards of Section 7.10 of the Unified Development Ordinance. The light
source shall not project below an opaque housing and no fixture shall directly project light
horizontally. Fixtures will be mounted in such a manner that the projected cone of light does not
cross any property line. (Response: General note added to Sheet A 0.5)
18. 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 be made of aware of will constitute
a completely new review. (Response: Changes to the site plan were bubbled.)
MISCELLANEOUS
1. Irrigation system must be protected by either a Pressure Vacuum Breaker, a Reduced
Pressure Principle Back Flow Device, or a Double -Check Back Flow Device, and installed as
per City Ordinance 2394. (Response: An irrigation system will not be installed.)
2. All BackFlow devices must be installed and tested upon installation as per City Ordinance
2394. (Response: Noted.)
ENGINEERING COMMENTS NO. 1
1. Submit a fire flow letter verifying that the necessary facilities and flow are available to serve
this building. (Response: See fire flow report to be submitted March 15th.)
2. The Drainage Certification needs to be signed and sealed by the engineer. (Response: the
attached Drainage Certification is signed and sealed by the civil engineer.)
3. Based on the application, it looks like the building is proposed to be sprinkled. Please show
and label the public fire suppression line (up to and including the isolation valve). Please also
note that the public fire line and fire hydrant should be in a PUE, so a PUE dedication will need
to be submitted if sufficient PUE does not exist currently. (Response: See attached fire line
drawings. All improvements will be located within the rear 10' public utility easement.)
4. Please label the location of the proposed FDC. (Response: The location of the FDC is
labeled and shown on sheet A 0.5 — rear of the building close to Patricia.)
5. Please add note on the plans that the fire suppression line shall have a lockable lid on the
isolation valve. The lockable lid shall supply the same protection as the AMP or USA, LL562
Locking Lid at a minimum. An alternate lockable lid shall be approved by College Station
Utilities Director or his designee. (Response: General note added to Sheet A 0.5)
6. Please provide an Engineer's Cost Estimate for the proposed public fire suppression line. If
the line exceeds 25 -ft in length, a plan and profile drawing of the public waterline will be required
as well. (Response: To be submitted March 15th.)
7. Please add a note with the building size, construction type, required fire flow, and whether or
not the building will be sprinkled. (Response: Will be included in the submittal on March 15th.)
8. Please show the existing/proposed 2 -ft contours on the site plan. (Response: Contours
shown on revised Sheet A 0.5)
9. Show and label all existing easements on-site. Our system shows a 10 -ft PUE (V.7518, P.73)
along the rear of the property. Response: The 10' PUE is shown along the rear of the property.
10. Please add a note stating the minimum, average, and maximum water and sanitary sewer
demands. (Response: See revised plumbing fixture unit table on Sheet A 0.5)
11. Show and label all private and public water and sanitary sewer lines on or adjacent to the
property. (Response: Shown on Sheet A 0.5)
12. Show and label the water meters, including proposed meter sizes. (Response — We're
utilizing the existing water meter located near the 10' public utility easement along Patricia.)
13. If the site plan is going to be approved ahead of TxDOT improvements to the current
driveways, TxDOT permits will be required. Currently these permits should be needed for the
demolition of the existing driveway and construction of the proposed driveway within TxDOT
right-of-way. (RESPONSE: We are proposing no improvements within the TxDOT right-of-way.
We are simply reflecting their latest design and awaiting their construction.)
GENERAL ELECTRICAL COMMENTS
1. Developer installs conduit per CSU specs and design.
2. CSU will provide drawings for electrical installation.
3. Developer will intercept existing conduit at designated transformers or other existing devices
and extend as required.
4. If conduit does not exist at designated transformer or other existing devices, developer will
furnish and install conduit as shown on CSU electrical layout.
5. CSU will furnish and install service conductors from transformer to exterior main disconnect
on building.
6. Developer provides digital AutoCAD 2000 or later version of plat and / or site plan. Email to:
sweido@cstx.gov.
7. Developer provides load data to CSU as soon as it is available to avoid construction delays.
8. Final site plan must show all proposed electrical facilities necessary to provide electrical
service, i.e. transformer(s), pull box(es), switchgear(s), meter location and conduit routing as
designed by CSU. To discuss any of the above electrical comments please contact Sam Weido
at 979.764.6314. sweido(o)_cstx.gov
FIRE
1. Please show a remote Fire Department Connection placed close to Patricia Street within the
property line. (Response: FDC shown on Sheet A 0.5 along the rear of the building.)
2. The fire lane should be striped as "Fire Lane- No Parking- Tow Away Zone" along the curbs
and a sign at both entrances. (Response: Noted.)
3. The fire lane does not need to be hatched. (Response: The fire lane will be marked as
referenced in Note #2 above. The hatched area on the plan was to show the location only, not
striping in the field.)
EXTERIOR ELEVATION COMMENTS:
1: The new kitchen cooler should be calculated as part of the building square footage. It must be
included in the new second story addition and be shown on the exterior elevation drawings.
Sheet A1.2 shows the cooler to be 238 SF in area. This addition will cause the project change to
exceed the 50% threshold identified in Section 9.3 of the Unified Development Ordinance. The
bathroom being added for ADA purposes does not have to be included in the square footage of
change. Please revise. (Response: The two 9x12 walk-in coolers have been added to the
building's square footage including the 2"d story above the coolers. See separate sheet
detailing the total building expansion less than 50% of the existing buildings.)
2. Two architectural relief elements and a public entrance are required on the fagade facing
Patricia Street. The wood on this fagade also exceeds the maximum of 20%. (Response: After
meeting with Jason Schubert, we agreed to add two architectural elements per the UDO to meet
the architectural relief requirement. The wood fagade has been reduced to below 20%. Jason
agreed that we do not have to provide a public entrance along Patricia.)
3. The front elevation, facing University Drive, lacks one architectural relief element on the west
side. (Response: The revised elevations show a canopy above the window and a canopy
above the entrance.)
4. The wood on facade A.2.Elevation 2 exceeds the maximum of 20%. (Response: The wood
facade is less than 20%. The table on the elevations did not automatically update; however, 1
wrote in the correct percentages.)
5. If railings are added, they must be decorative to comply with landscaping requirements found
in Section 5.6.B.9.b of the Unified Development Ordinance. Please submit a picture of the
rrproposed railing. (Response: See attached picture of decorative railing.)
(i6'hed roofs are prohibited in Northgate. Please reduce the slope to create a flat roof or select
a different roof type. (Response: A hip roof is proposed.)
N.,7% Corrugated metal is not an approved roof material. Standing seam metal is an approved
alternative that you may choose to utilize. (Response: Corrugated metal has been replaced
with standing seam metal.)
6. Please identify the material and color of the awnings. FYI... corrugate metal is not an
approved material. (Response: Awnings will be a forest green colored fabric. Lauren, I will
send you a picture.)
The existing columns on the side of the building appear to be steel. Since the fagade
Materials are being brought into compliance and steel is not an approved material (except for
doors), the columns must be covered. (Response: The columns are being wrapped in an
approved material.)
10. Transparency on the front fagade facing University Drive must be 50% and the Patricia
Street fagade must be 30%. (Response: After a meeting with Jason Schubert, we agreed that
30% transparency on the Patricia Street frontage will not be required. However, the applicant
will try to meet the 50% transparency on the University Drive frontage. The transparency on
University Drive has been improved with the addition of a glass rolling door; however, the
transparency is only at 23.6%. Major structural changes will be required to the existing facade
in order to increase the transparency. We request a waiver to this requirement since we're
utilizing an existing building.)
C11. lease add the following items to the materials legends: (Response: The following
in7ormation. was added to the materials legend.)
a:'`Total fagade square footage.
,$quare footage and percentages for the colors being used.
Percentage of each material and transparency per fagade.

4+' the building height
akey map onA0.5
ow" the total site area
® the zoning of the subject property
the curb and pavement detail which will pertain to new improvements (found in the Site
Design Standards) 'Jo
all utility meter locations
Com"�' all utility lines.
2. ;(ease dimension:
®} the perimeter property line boundaries
..the parking spaces
a` f„the setbacks along Patricia`
„ the maximum setback along University as 25' or 35' with cafe seating
the distance to abutting drives 6
. e' ” � the driveway throat depth off of University Drive (the Patricia entrance is not being
altered)
® the existing 10' wide Public Utility easement along Patricia Street.
�,3' The second -story addition must be a functional space to meet qualifications. Due to the
holidays, the Building division was not available to discuss the codes related to second story
ingress and egress. However, it is anticipated that exterior ladder access will not be
sufficient for a functioning second -story use. I will get back to you at a later time with more
information. Also, please label the portion of the building that is intended to be two-story.
,,4!The site plan must be drawn using an engineering scale. Also, the scale does not appear to
be 1/16" as shown on the site plan.
5/ Sanitation service for this use must be provided on site. Please contact Rodney Harris with
Sanitation for more information. A dumpster must be located within a 12'x12' enclosure that
is complimentary to the architecture of the building.
The property is shown by the Brazos County Appraisal District as being owned by Radakor,
LLC. Please add their information to the site plan, or provide documentation showing the
proof of sale.
_TY Please provide documentation that confirms the intended use as being a restaurant and not
a night club.
FYI... The trellis -covered deck may be added without affecting the Floor -to -Area Ratio if left
as an open-air trellis. Plant material may be added to the trellis, but not impermeable
material such as fiberglass. If the roof is made impermeable, it will be counted toward FAR
/and will cause the changes on site to exceed 50%.
U19. University Drive is labeled as a 40' right-of-way. Please revise this information.
L.'1'G- There are 7 spaces against the building that current exist and may be restriped. The site
plan shows 8. Please remove one proposed space.
The realigned parking row closet to University Drive cannot extend into the right-of-way.
The spaces may be curbed, but a 23' wide drive aisle must be provided for the handicap
spaces.
1 The proposed parking row shown against the Schotzi's property currently exists as a drive
aisle. Though existing parking is being maintained and restriped on site, this parking is
considered an addition and is therefore not permitted according to Section 5.6 relating to
parking location, screening, and setbacks. Please remove this parking from the plan.
J13. Though existing parking spaces may be restriped in their current configuration, they should
be elongated when then the drive aisle width is conducive to the change. This comment
pertains to the fire lane drive.
If a tree is being added along University Drive, it must be irrigated. The tree in the right-of-
way should be removed since it is off-site and would require a TxDOT permit.
15:' Please provide a note stating that there is no FEMA regulated floodplain on the subject
property while referencing the FIRM number.
16 Also, a note should be added that states that all mechanical equipment, utilities, and solid
waste storage areas shall be screened from view from the right-of-way using an opaque
1' material predominantly found in the principal building.
x,1'7. Provide a general note on the site plan that states the following: Exterior building and site
lighting will meet the standards of Section 7.10 of the Unified Development Ordinance. The
light source shall not project below an opaque housing and no fixture shall directly project
light horizontally. Fixtures will be mounted in such a manner that the projected cone of light
does not cross any property line.
18. 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 be made of aware of will
constitute a completely new review.

ENGINEERING COMMENTS NO. 1
1. Submit a fire flow letter verifying that the necessary facilities and flow are available to serve
this building.
2. The Drainage Certification needs to be signed and sealed by the engineer.
3. Based on the application, it looks like the building is proposed to be sprinkled. Please
show and label the public fire suppression line (up to and including the isolation valve).
Please also note that the public fire line and fire hydrant should be in a PUE, so a PUE
dedication will need to be submitted if sufficient PUE does not exist currently.
4. Please label the location of the proposed FDC.
5. Please add note on the plans that the fire suppression line shall have a lockable lid on the
isolation valve. The lockable lid shall supply the same protection as the AMP or USA,
LL562 Locking Lid at a minimum. An alternate lockable lid shall be approved by College
Station Utilities Director or his designee.
