Project: Systek Computing Parking Expansion (Sp) — 12-00500019
PLANNING
1. FYI, since the majority of this project was recently constructed a revised site plan would be
the easiest way to handle the addition. Landscaping points for the whole site can be used to
meet for the additional land included (if the landscaping points exceeded the original
required amount) in lieu of providing an additional 800 points (minimum required) for the
new phase.
2. Provide square footage of all new end islands.
3. Provide a detail for the proposed dumpster screening wall.
4. Provide volume and page number for the private cross access easement.
5. Illustrate the new electrical easement being provided with the Replat (covers the transformer
pad).
6. Illustrate the public access easement over the sidewalk along Park Place. This is being
added with the Replat.
7. FYI, site plan approval cannot be granted until the Replat has been approved and filed.
8. 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 be made of aware of will
constitute a completely new review.

LANDSCAPING/STREETSCAPING/BUFFER
1. See Planning Comment #1. If separating into phases, a minimum of 800 landscaping points
are required for each phase (this will need to be revised on the landscape plan if proceeding
with phasing). Additionally, phase boundaries need to include the limits of construction (not
just the new portion of the lot that is being added with the replat).
2. If utilizing the whole site for landscaping points, please submit a revised landscape plan as
the original landscape plan was changed prior to CO.
3. Provide tree protection detail for those trees remaining on site that are adjacent to proposed
construction/disturbance areas.
4. As discussed previously with John Rhodes during CO of the site, provide shrubs all along
the northeast wall of the detention facility adjacent to the new drive aisle. These shrubs can
count towards landscaping point requirements.

ENGINEERING COMMENTS NO. 1 —Site Plan
1. Please add "floodway" to Note #1.
2. Please distinguish between the existing and proposed parking and detention pond on
the site plan.
3. Show and label the proposed Public Drainage Easement which will cover the
flood plain/floodway on -site.
4. Please identify the location of the floodplain/floodway in accordance with the LOMR and
topography of the land.
5. It appears that a portion of the parking lot and dumpster enclosure are encroaching into
the floodplain & floodway are and will need to be removed.
6. Show & label the proposed PUE for the existing electrical transformer. Please submit a
PUE dedication application prior to site plan approval.
7. Please add a note indicating that encroachment into the Floodway is not permitted. The
parking lot and retaining wall bordering the floodway should be constructed entirely from
the parking lot side of the wall to avoid encroachment into the floodway area.
8. FYI... Engineering construction plans and documents are still under review and may
affect the site plan.
