STAFF REVIEW COMMENTS NO. 2 Project: Capstone Development (REZ)—(15-00900013) PLANNING 1. Revise the Rezoning Map to show the correct location of the city limit line on the figure and its vicinity map. For reference, the vicinity map shows the correct location along Holleman Drive South, Saddle Lane, and Quail Run. The city limit line then crosses North Dowling Road at Quail Run and runs to the west along the north side of North Dowling Road right-of- way across the face of this property(the opposite side of what is currently shown). RESPONSE: The city limit line has been revised as requested. 2. Revise the bike/hike trail on the Concept Plan. The hike/bike trail along the public road is to serve as bike facilities in lieu of bike lanes. The portion of the hike/bike trail along the existing North Dowling Road is an extension of the existing trail on the Cottages property and is a private amenity as continued from the previous PDD. Revise the Concept Plan and notes to reflect that distinction. RESPONSE: The Concept Plan has been revised as requested. 1 3204 EARL RUDDER FWY.S. • COLLEGE STATION,TX 77845 • T 979 260 6963 • F 979.260.3564 CIVIL ENGINEERING • HYDRAULICS • HYDROLOGY • UTILITIES • STREETS • SITE PLANS • SUBDIVISIONS 3. Revise the zoning/modification letter to add back in the meritorious modification to allow single and two-unit buildings on an R-4 Multi-Family lot, as provided in the existing PDD ordinance. RESPONSE: Please see the attached revised letter. 4. Please note that as modifications are requested to the parkland dedication requirements, the Parks & Recreation Advisory Board will need to provide a recommendation regarding the proposed modifications. RESPONSE: Understood. We have a meeting with the Parks Board scheduled for Tuesday night, March 10, 2015. ENGINEERING COMMENTS NO. 2 1. Please revise Note #7 to also include references to Zone A Special Flood Hazard area on the property and NAI being required for any fill in the floodplain. RESPONSE: This note has been changed as requested. TRANSPORTATION 1. Based on the TIA memo, Brownstone should T into Market Street as proposed. Right-of- way will still be required for the future realignment and reconstruction of Market, when traffic warrants the Brownstone to be the through movement. With the preliminary plan, please provide an alignment for this future realignment to show how much right-of-way should be required and verify the current Brownstone realignment will be able to be realigned to Holleman in the future. Please verify that this realignment can happen without affecting the ponds near Holleman. RESPONSE: Please see the attached graphic which shows the future realignment and ROW's.

STAFF REVIEW COMMENTS NO. 1 Project: Capstone Development (REZ) — (15-00900013) 1. Revise the Rezoning Map to: a. Label the rights-of-way and widths for Quail Run and Junction Boys Road; Response: The width of Quail Run right-of-way and Junction Boys has been shown. b. Revise the labels of Dowling Road to be North Dowling Road and Holleman Drive to be Holleman Drive South; Response: These Labels have been changed as requested. c. Remove the lines for the future Market Street right-of-way on the north side of Holleman Drive South; and Response: These lines have been removed. d. Revise the location of the College Station City Limits line to cross North Dowling Road at the Quail Run right-of-way and run along the northern side of the North Dowling Road right-of-way. Response: The city limits line has been revised accordingly. 1 3204 EARL RUDDER FWY.S. • COLLEGE STATION,TX 77845 • i 979 260 6963 • F 979.260 3564 CIVIL ENGINEERING • HYDRAULICS • HYDROLOGY .

Reflect only the area in and immediately surrounding the proposed rezoning; Response: We have revised this Concept Plan to reflect only the area in and immediately surrounding the proposed rezoning. b. Revise the notes to include only those applicable to the proposed rezoning area. This would mean to delete Notes 1, 5, 6, 8, & 9 and to revise Note 2; Response: These notes have been revised. c. Remove the label for Brownstone Drive as this may become realigned North Dowling Road. Also, revise how the street is depicted as it appears to be like a local street; Response: These changes have been made as requested. d. Remove the Bike/Trail crossing mid-block on Holleman Drive South. Response: This crossing has been removed from the graphic. e. Provide a note that the Bike/Hike Trail along Brownstone/realigned North Dowling Road will be public and constructed to public standard and the remaining will be a private amenity. Continue the multi-use path to the Market Street/Holleman Drive South intersection; and Response: See Note#5 and legend which indicates this information. f. Provide a note that the Phase 1A lot will be replatted with the development of the project to provide the additional right-of-way for a potential realignment of North Dowling Road. Response: This note has been added. 3. Remove the bulk variance for parallel parking on Brownstone Drive. If this street is to become the realigned North Dowling Road, the Bicycle, Pedestrian, and Greenways Master Plan shows bike lanes. Allow this modification to occur with the platting and construction documents of the project. Please discuss as necessary. Response: The parallel parking variance request has been removed. 2 4. If 5 bedroom units are desired, revise the bulk variance/meritorious modification to allow up to 5 unrelated individual to reside in a 5 bedroom unit. This should also be accompanied by a limitation such as the project having an average of 4 bedrooms or less per unit and specified that the units are limited to 1 person per bedroom, as discussed with the City Council and conditioned with another, recent rezoning request. Response: This modification has been made. ENGINEERING COMMENTS NO. 1 1. The Concept Plan should designate the floodplain/detention area as open space/common area/floodplain/detention. A note should also be added indicating proposed use and maintenance of the area. Response: This label has been added and a note has been added discussing maintenance of this pond. 2. It is unclear whether the dashed line around the Phase 1A area is supposed to be a lot line, phase line, or an unlabeled easement (since it is similar to easement lines shown nearby). A legend of line types may be helpful. Response: These lines have now been labeled as property lines. 3. FYI...Portions of the floodplain may be able to be filled, but we will need further drainage analysis and certification that it will not cause flooding to properties upstream/downstream. Provide a note on the Concept Plan to include these items as part of the rezoning, or we will have to recommend a conditional approval of the rezoning to have it added. Response: Understood. This note has been added to the Concept Plan as Note #6. TRANSPORTATION Rezoning Comments: 1. The driveways shown on the Concept Plan in the TIA differ from the driveways shown on the Concept Plan submitted with the rezoning. The location of the driveways on the PDD Concept Plan, should be adjusted to what was submitted with the TIA. The driveway on North Dowling Road is on a portion outside the City limits, maintained by the County and would need to be approved and permitted through 3 visommommoomp them; I would recommend making it for emergency access only (with a knox box), if it is needed as a secondary access point. Response: The concept plan driveways now match the TIA exhibit. We understand that the driveways and street intersection on North Dowling will require County approval. 2. At the intersection of Dowling and Brownstone, is the ROW sufficient to curve what would become Old Dowling (east segment) into future, realigned Dowling (Brownstone)? Response: Yes, please refer to email correspondence between Veronica Morgan and Danielle Singh on February 9, 2015. TIA Comments: 3. The 1% annual growth rate does not appear to be adequate based on the counts taken in April vs the counts taken in September. Response: Please refer to the attached TIA Addendum provided by HDR. 4. FYI- Based on TxDOT comments for the CRED project, an additional southbound lane on Holleman Drive, to keep a free right, will be required with that development. Response: Please refer to the attached TIA Addendum provided by HDR. 5. In the event that the CRED project is not developed prior to this development, please provide LOS information for Market Street and Holleman, without a signal or CRED traffic. Response: Please refer to the attached TIA Addendum provided by HDR. 6. Since Brownstone (or future Dowling) is a thoroughfare, there are concerns with Brownstone T-ing into Market and not extending to Holleman Drive as the through movement. Please provide an analysis showing the LOS at the intersection of Brownstone and Market assuming existing Dowling is closed and realigned. This will provide more information for us to evaluate this intersection. We will need to see a layout that the current alignment would still be able to connect to Holleman in the future. Response: Please refer to the attached TIA Addendum provided by HDR. The layout of the connection to Holleman will be provided with the Preliminary Plan. 4 TxDOT 1. Proposed roadway (Market Street Extension) does not meet the TxDOT Access Management Manual guidelines; there is not enough property frontage along FM- 2818 to support a safe full access point along any portion of the property frontage. Response: We understand that there is no ability for "full access" and that this roadway will be right-in / right-out only If you have any questions or comments, please feel free to call our office at 979-260- 6963.

Box 9960 College Station, TX 77842 Re: CAPSTONE DEVELOPMENT AT HOLLEMAN DRIVE AND DOWLING ROAD (REZ-•PDD) Dear Jason, As discussed we have modified our original bulk variance request and have itemized those in this letter. Listed below are the bulk variances that we are seeking for the Capstone development: Understanding that we must choose a base zoning district for the residential development upon which we base all variance requests, we have chosen R-4 — Multi-Family (similar to the original rezoning request) as our base district. Residential Area Bulk Variance Requests: 1. Allow for block length variances along North Dowling Drive. We have indicated a new roadway (Junction Boys Road) to break some of the block length along North Dowling Drive. 2. Allow for 20' curb radii at intersections to create a more pedestrian friendly environment. 3. Unit Types: The product we are proposing has a mix of unit types and bedroom counts. It is a mix of building sizes and styles with a bedroom mix ranging from three to five bedroom units with an average of 4.31 bedrooms/unit. There will be several single detached units as well as duplexes and townhomes constructed within this PDD (R-4 based) category. This product is one that is gaining popularity in many college towns. The increased bedroom count allows for a more affordable product for students. In this case, the increased density from these bedrooms is appropriate given the location is within biking distance from the University. The desire in the City of College Station Comprehensive Plan has always been to increase student housing densities closer to campus to help with traffic congestion in the City This increased bedroom mix will encourage this. Understanding that some concern may stem from the five bedroom units, we do offer that the original rezoning request to PDD contemplated 5 bedroom units and those indeed were approved in the 1st phase of this overall phased development. We do understand that another recent rezoning request has perhaps set a precedent for how to handle this extra unit density. To that we offer the following: 3204 EARL RUDDER FWY.S. • COLLEGE STATION,TX 77845 • T 979.260 6963 • F 979 260 3564 CIVII FNGINFFRING • HYDRAULICS • HYDROLOGY • UTILITIES • STREETS • SITE PLANS • SUBDIVISIONS 1. Parkland— given that we would be allowed to have all four bedroom units we would be willing to pay the cost differential from the 4 bedroom/unit basis to our average 4.31 bedroom/unit basis or whatever is ultimately permitted on the site if it is less than the 4.31 bedrooms/ unit. For instance: Parkland Dedication based upon 4 bedroom units 4 bedrooms * 186 units = 744 bedrooms 186 units * $731/unit = $135,966 parkland fees due Proposed Bedrooms Onsite = 801 801 bedrooms—744 bedrooms for 186 units = extra 57 bedrooms Assume all 4 bedroom units 57 bedrooms / 4 bedrooms per unit = an extra 14.25 units to get same # of beds without 5 bed units 15 units * $731/unit = $10,965 extra parkland dedication fees 2. Occupancy Assurance — similar to the other rezoning case which had a condition placed on it we agree to a condition that each bedroom be limited to 1 occupant More than 4 Unrelated Because the requested product is for more than four bedrooms, it makes logical sense that there will be more than four unrelated people in the five bedroom units. Our request for more than four unrelated individuals in a unit is within a PDD zoning category and this product is NOT located close to single family residential property. Although one might argue how many unrelated individuals is too many for a single dwelling unit, it is our opinion that five individuals, when each room is provided with a bathroom facility, is not too much for a shared living and kitchen space. The market which is demanding these higher bedroom count units will also demand that the shared areas be of sufficient size to accommodate the higher student population occupying the space. Really, the cap on the number of unrelated persons per unit in a multi-family development stemmed from a health and safety issue. Namely, could a one bedroom unit with one bathroom handle five people trying to cram into that living space? The type of products offered to student housing have changed over the years and now it is very unusual to have shared bathroom facilities in the multi-family housing developments. We usually find that each bedroom has its own bathroom included. Rationale for Request The rationale for the above requests is that we are dealing with an innovative design concept that does not "fit" with the current regulations. Students are showing that they desire living in a complex that is not a "cookie cutter" row after row of apartment buildings. This complex will have a mix of unit types, styles and sizes with centralized green spaces including the large green space shown as pond / common area. In addition, the student housing market is showing that students do not mind sharing a common living space with more students as long as they have their own private living area and bath. Increasing the bedroom density will allow for a more affordable product for the students. As stated in the UDO, the purpose of the Planned Development district is to promote and encourage innovative development that is sensitive to surrounding land uses and to the natural environment. A PDD may be used to permit new or innovative concepts in land utilization not permitted by other zoning districts. Finally, the PD District allows development to vary from certain development standards so long as there are community benefits which outweigh the requested modifications. We believe that this project offers a unique product and its community benefits certainly outweigh modifications being requested. These community benefits are as follows: 1. The detention will be provided in the irrigation pond area. This feature along Holleman Drive provides for a nice view corridor from the street. 2. There is a hike/bike trail along internal public street that the public will be able to enjoy. 3. There is only 1 access driveway from the residential area as well as the 1 connection of Junction Boys Road to North Dowling Road. Keeping this number to a minimum will help ease the North Dowling Road traffic concerns that may arise from the adjacent single family residential properties. Thank you very much.
