In regards to the signage you are correct that the permit will look at the specific signage design. As far as location, attached signage it is really up to the owner where it is placed. This case was special in that there will be signage placed on the upper wall. In this case, having signage placed on that wall will be permitted. The NRA approval does not lock in that location. Meaning that if the owner wanted to change location of signage, revisions to the plans would not be needed.

I have one more followup question so I can clarify for the building owner: It is my understanding that the Planning Review/NRA approval means the design meets the AR requirements and approves the locations of signage shown on the elevations. For the future signage permits (the separate permits you note below), these permits will be for specific signage design (size, sign construction, illumination, color, etc) for each sign location that has already been approved by the NRA review. 1 Is my understanding correct?

Back in April/May of this year I was communicating with Morgan Hester. Morgan reviewed our conceptual design work and I asked for her input regarding compliance with AR requirements, signage, etc. The future owner wanted to confirm that we could get to something that met their goals before purchasing the lot. I have attached the referenced exhibit to this email. The design has been refined since the conceptual design, and the position of some elements adjusted, but we tried to stay reasonably faithful to the concept. The primary wall material did change from stone to brick. Please review this information. I am available for a phone visit at your earliest convenience. My office number is below, my cell is 512-289-1502.

Following our phone call, these are my understandings: 1. The lot is internal to the overall development, and NO portion of the lot faces the ROW. Therefore the linear footage that the number of architectural features is calculated on is 60 feet, not 45 feet. 2. The number of architectural features shown on each elevation (see attachment) appear to satisfy the minimum requirements. So, this Conceptual Design does not appear to have any major flaws regarding architectural features, massing, etc. The illustration contains materials, however these are very preliminary, and likely to change. If my client decides to move forward with the lot purchase and design, I will update you as the elevations and material choices are refined to confirm compliance with the NRA Standards. I have marked up the attached PDF to clarify and document the concept design we discussed. Thanks for your time.

I was able to download the file-thank you for checking on that. I'm in and out of my office all day for meetings, so I apologize for not being able to call you back! In response to your questions: - Signs o The taller sign (Chad Jones) would be considered attached signage. o You are correct, attached signage is based on the linear footage of the primary entry facade x 2.5. This area can be divided up however desired. We have many businesses that take the total square footage and divide it up into multiple signs on different wall planes. - NRA (Non-Residential Architectural) Standards o Per the UDO, there is a requirement for each facade to provide at least 2 architectural features every 45' if facing the ROW and every 60' for all others. In this case, the 2 features every 60' will apply. Because this is not scaled, I was not able to check to see if this was met for each facade, but I have provided some comments to what I was able to review. ■ View A • Features that will apply for satisfying this requirement include the recessed wall planes and pilasters. • Additional features will need to be provided. This could be something as simple as pilasters adhered to the wall face or canopies over the windows. • View B • The same comments as above apply. • Keep in mind that the gutters (I think those are gutters?) will not apply as architectural features. • View C • The recession and awning over the door will count for 2 features. Keep in mind that 2 different features will need to be provided every 60' feet. If the length of the facade does not hit 120' (meaning not another full 60'), then 2 features will be sufficient. This goes for all facades. • View D • Same comments as above. I hope all of that makes sense! I will call you tomorrow to discuss. I really like the style of the building! Of course, parking will need to be accommodated on site (if all necessary parking cannot be contained within the property, there are other options) and landscaping requirements will have to be met. Thank you for sending this over for a quick look over! Morgan Hester Staff Planner Planning & Development Services City of College Station P.O.

We have completed a Conceptual Design for a potential new office building at North Forrest Professional Park, Lot 1E-R2. I'd appreciate your feedback of the Conceptual Design Set, dated 05.09.2014. Below is a summary of my presentation to my client. At the end of this email, I've included several initial questions I like your guidance on. Here is a link to download the document: https://www.dropbox.com/s/yceigitnn908pdr/14012%2 OChad%20Jones%20Law%20Office%20Conceptual%20Design% 20copy%20w %2Oht-mtl%20markup.pdf Overall Goals: Professional office w/potential shell tenant space/ future office growth Create presence for the building/visibility as lot is at back of property. Create signage opportunity in an integrated way. Provide daylighting to law office interior. Allow for collaboration in office environment, legal staff do some private work/ some collaborative work. Building Plan: Single story, approximately 5500 - 5,800 sf. (The 3 attorney's offices and business offices are shown a little too small. The back wall of the offices will move back several feet to provide the space programmed. The final size as proposed is closer to the 5,800 sf end of the range.) 2 distinct portions, designed can be merged into 1 office in future. Law office zones Public -facing street Staff- central and rear Central work area has clerestory above for light and unifies the high wall element. Central work area walls are not full-height- 5' or 6' - allow light in,provides privacy, allows some collaboration Common table in middle (standing height recommended) Common-rear Break Room &Patio connected to allow space to be used together, and patio to be close to kitchen Shell medical proportioned to contain 6-7 exam rooms, 2 or 1 dr offices (see sample plan) Parking need is 24 spaces (28 spaces if all medical) Exterior- A: Tall wall with signage - wraps into law firm entry Left- office conference rooms at front staff work area in center/under clerestory Medical to right w/own entrance Exterior materials: stone, stucco, wood siding (note: all material selections are preliminary) Exterior- B: This side -tall wall w/ sign to get above plastic surgery building Windows along side of medical space are optional - can be upper window with area below designed for future lower window. Exterior- C: Exterior wall folds down on this side to become patio roof Patio structure uses closely spaced small columns to screen view of backside of neighbor. Window as back of medical side are optional, can be set up for future windows (same as the side). 8 rl. • Exterior- D: Attorney's offices Work room Backside of clerestory Potential Value Engineering/Cost Reduction: Limit clerestory glass to street side Eliminate side/rear windows in shell medical Use stucco/wood on sides/rear(reduce masonry) City of College Station Preliminary Review Questions: 1. Sign locations - due to position on property, signage directly over front of building provides no real visibility for Client. Proposed signage includes: 1. Major "Chad Jones Law" sign on north side of lobby wall. Intention is to make visible to southbound traffic on Earl Rudder. 2. Future tenant signage "Signage" over shell space. 3. CJL logo /limited signage on south side of entry wall (visibility for traffic coming from south side of internal parking lot. 2. Confirm signage Limit: 2.5 sf x linear foot of entry. 3. Any other issues or concerns identified during review? Thanks for your time!
