Project: 12900 Old Wellborn Rd (SP) 14-00900275
PLANNING
1) The parking calculation for the office use should be 1/350 as defined by the ordinance
guiding the PDD. Please revise the calculations to reflect this requirement and adjust
parking as needed.
2) Please revise the building setback lines to show as follows:
a) Side Street Setback ( N. Graham Rd.) 15 feet
b) Rear Setback 20 feet
3) Warehouse dimensions seem to be wrong when scaled out. Please revise the dimension
labels, or change the total area label to reflect accurate dimensions. FYI... the parking
calculation for the warehouse should also be updated with the revised total square footage.
Also, the open covered storage area that is tied to the warehouse does not get factored into
the parking calculation. Please revise the square footage calculation in the table to reflect
this change as well.
✓4) Please show the location of the bicycle racks on the.
5) Please provide the volume and page of the public utility easement existing on the property.
6) Please clearly identify paving areas, particularly within the proposed outdoor display area. It
is hard to define where the pavement is ending on the plan.
-7) On the side of the existing 2,255 sq. ft. building there is a 5 feet side walk and 18.5 feet long
parking spaces. The minimum sidewalk width should be 6 feet in order to have 18.5 feet
parking spaces. Please change the width of the sidewalk to be 6 feet in width. Please also
note that this change will affect the parking spaces and drive aisle width.
8) The curb return radii measured at the entrance of N. Graham Rd. is labeled as 15 feet. The
minimum radii for commercial driveways is 25 feet. Please revise to meet this requirement.
9) Please label the existing sign on the property. Please also provide a general note stating
that all proposed signage shall be permitted separately as required by the College Station
Unified Development Ordinance.
10) Provide a general note on the site plan that states the following: Exterior building and site
lighting will meet the standards of Section 7.11 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.
111) Please correct the street label to say N. Graham Road.
X12) 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. Any additional changes
on these plans that the City has not be made of aware of will constitute a completely new
review.

-� LANDSCAPING/STREETSCAPING/BUFFER
c� 1) Please clearly identify the property line. Also note that it appears some of the plantings may
be located within the Right-of-way (ROW). Vegetation within the ROW does not count
towards the required points for the project. If you are proposing landscape improvements in
the ROW you will need to file a PIP application with our department to approve that
proposal.
2) Please remove existing buildings and paving details from the plan.
3) Please provide a more clear plant schedule.
4) The landscape point calculations seem to be off. Please make the following revisions.
a) For the Streetscape calculation, please separate the frontage calculation for North
Graham Rd. and Wellborn. They should have their own subtotal and not lumped
together as one frontage calculation.
b) The canopy tree calculation under streetscape points should be divided by 32 feet not 30
feet.
c) At the end of the calculation table please remove the note saying `actual points
(excluding streetscape & screening)'. This is not needed as streetscape points and site
landscape points are totaled together to determine the required points for the entire site.
d) There should also be a separate calculation identifying that 50% of the total required
points are allotted to canopy trees.
5) Please provide a general note on the Landscape plan stating that 100% coverage of
groundcover, decorative paving, decorative rock, or perennial grass is required in parking lot
islands, swales, and drainage area, the parking lot setback, rights-of way, and adjacent
property disturbed during construction.
6) Please correct the street label to show N. Graham Rd.
