Project: Aquarium (Sp) - 08-00500222
PLANNING
1. A public access easement must be dedicated to the City along University Drive. The
easement should extend from the property line to the building façade.
2. As discussed previously, Staff has not received documentation regarding the ownership
of the lot north of Aquarium Bar. An easement cannot be dedicated on this property until
the ownership is resolved. There are also utility improvements being made to this
property, and so the owner should be involved.
3. The staircase at the rear of Schotzi's extends outside of the access easement.
4. Is the bench along University Drive being installed? A waiver was approved by the
Design Review Board.
5. Mechanical equipment must be screened 100% from view. The staircase will not
adequately screens the air conditioning units.
6. Please show the property line of the subject property. There does seem to be a space
between Schotzi's and Aquarium Bar that will require groundcover.
7. Please indicate the distance to the near fire hydrant.
8. Has it been discovered that the existing sewer line is claytile?
9. Please identify the building height and square footage.
10. Four bicycle parking spaces are required, plus one additional spaces per 1000 square
feet of building area when the building exceeds 2000 square feet.
11. All new planting must be irrigated. Irrigation plans must be sealed by a licensed irrigator.
12. 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.

A public access easement must be dedicated to the City along University Drive. The
easement should extend from the property line to the building façade.
This easement has been prepared and has been given to Debrah Grace.
. As discussed previously, Staff has not received documentation regarding the ownership
of the lot north of Aquarium Bar. An easement cannot be dedicated on this property until
the ownership is resolved. There are also utility improvements being made to this
property, and so the owner should be involved.
An easement has been dedicated as indicated on the site plan along the north
east property line of lot 1 block 8 of 200 University Drivwe, LLC

• This needs to be shown and labeled on the site plan. The current location is not
facing a fire lane and will not be accessible for the fire department.
• The FDC must be connected to a separate waterline from the proposed fire line
as shown. Please revise.
7. Site Plan — The fire hydrant is required to be within a public utility easement. Easement
dedication documents will need to be submitted and executed by the private property owner
prior to site plan approval.
• Please provide blank spaces for the volume and page number to be filled in after
they are filed. As a reminder, they must be filed prior to CO.
• The Electrical Dept. has indicated to me that a 5-ft Public Utility Easement on the
adjacent property and along the back of the Aquarium Bar lot will be sufficient to
provide access to public infrastructure. The private fire line should not encroach
in this easement.
8. (Repeat Comment) Site Plan — Please provide a letter stating that you have been granted

Fee, Engineer's Cost Estimate, Letter of Acknowledgement, Erosion Control Plan, and Fire
Flow Report.
• The development permit fee and fire flow report have not been submitted. Also,

2. As discussed previously, Staff has not received documentation regarding the ownership

Design Review Board.
5. Mechanical equipment must be screened 100% from view. The staircase will not
