on the site plans from the Transportation Center? If so, please provide a label within that
area defining it as a natural area.
3. Provide landscape and streetscape calculations for the area that is being added to phase 1

1. As proposed, water line is adding two additional dead end lines that will require
monthly flushing and testing in accordance with TCEQ. Design needs to provide for
a looped system that eliminates the dead end segments.
2. Relocate waterline out from bottom of drainage channel.
3. Station fittings in profile.
4. Confirm radius of curvature for water pipe is not less than 400 feet.
5. 4' minimum cover required on waterline. Pipe material shall meet AWWA C-900
standards.
6. Provide easement dedication documents for water line.
7. The sanitary sewer extension for this site will be private. Portion of line that you are
tying in to is private. Clarify that manhole lid shall not be labeled as City of College
Station. Need to provide watertight lid since in area of inundation.
8. Since it does not appear you are providing additional detention with this project, how
is it that the post developed flow is less than the pre-developed?
9. Define the limits of 100-year floodplain on the property. Did your drainage
calculations account for floodplain tailwater?
10.Please provide more explanation on the modeling of the main channel. From
drawings it appears to be modeled as closed system storm pipe.
11.Does water stay within main channel during 100-year storm event? Does it overtop
driveway from Fitch?
12.1s channel properly lined to protect from flow velocities? Is velocity dissipation
needed?
13.Where is location of downstream outfall? Were culverts under existing driveway off
WD Fitch included in modeling?
14.Report indicates 3-42" RCP for pedestrian crossing, construction plans label culverts

ELECTRICAL COMMENTS REQUIRING IMMEDIATE ATTENTION
1. SITE PLAN/PLAT: Developer will provide CSU with a digital, AutoCAD dwg format,
version of plat and / or site plan as soon as it is available. Email to:
gmartinez@cstx.gov , or bkillion(c�cstx.gov.
2. LOAD DATA: The developer will provide load data to CSU as soon as it is available.
This information is critical for CSU to accurately determine the size and number of
transformers, and other equipment, required to provide service to the project. Failure
to provide load data will result in construction delays and, due to clearance
requirements, could affect the final building footprint. Delivery time for transformers
and other equipment not in stock is approximate 26 weeks.
3. EASEMENTS: Developer provides descriptive easements for electric infrastructure
as designed by CSU, as shown on plat or site plan.
4. If easements are existing, the developer will be responsible for locating easements
on site to insure that electrical infrastructure is installed within easement boundaries.
GENERAL ELECTRICAL COMMENTS
1. Developer installs conduit per CSU specs and design.
2. CSU will provide drawings for electrical installation.
3. Developer provides 30' of rigid or IMC conduit for each riser conduit. CSU installs
riser.
4. Developer will intercept existing conduit at designated transformers or other existing
devices and extend as required.
5. If conduit does not exist at designated transformer or other existing devices,
developer will furnish and install conduit as shown on CSU electrical layout.
6. Developer pours electric device pads or footings, i.e. transformers, pull boxes, or
other device, per CSU specs and design.
7. Developer installs pull boxes per CSU specs and design, Pull boxes and provided by
CSU.
8. Final site plan must show all proposed electrical facilities necessary to provide
electrical service, i.e. transformers, pull boxes, or switchgears, all meter locations,
and conduit routing as designed by CSU.

Site Plan
1. In addition to comment number 9 made in the first round of staff review comments Sheet C4.00
was not revised as the site plan was. There are details and illustrations on that sheet that identify
Laydown curbing along the pavement to the south of the building. Please revise and or remove these
details from the plan document.
• C4.00 revised
2. In response to comment number 12 made in the first round of staff review comments. I do not see
where the label was made for the rectangular shapes protruding from the driveways. My assumption
is that they are drainage areas conveying water from the drive aisles. If this is correct is anything
going to be placed as a barrier along the aisle boundary being that those rectangles measure 10 ft.
in width? The biggest concern is the parking area at the front of the building being that there could be
potential for a car to fit in that space causing a safety concern.
• Bollards added in front of curb cut in front parking lot
3. Regarding the dumpster enclosure detail added to the revised plans. The fencing is identified as 8
ft. tall chain link fence with solid slats. The fence must be a wooden fence or solid masonry wall.
Chain link fencing is not allowed as a permitted screening method. Please revise accordingly.
• Revised
4. Can you please explain what the storage area is being used for? Depending on the items being
stored may require certain surfacing materials.
• Alternate for crushed limestone was not accepted and sheets have been removed. Area will be
