Let's talk more about the site plan approval. Given their tight schedule, I would like to explore ways to let them get started on site work and foundation work while we are resolving the on -street parking issue. Lance From: Erika Bridges Sent: Friday, February 06, 2015 5:53 PM To: Lance Simms; Chuck Gilman Cc: Debbie Eller, Alan Gibbs; Danielle Singh; Jessica Bullock Subject: Second St. Apartments Lance & Chuck, Just wanted to give you a quick FYI. We recently received a site plan application for Second Street Apartments, a multi- family housing development at the corner of Boyett St., Cherry St., and Second St. (Please see attached site plan.) Fire has indicated that they will need parking to be permanently removed along the north and south sides of Cherry St., the east side of Boyett St., and the west side of Second St. adjacent to the property. Additionally, the applicant has requested that Cherry St. between Boyett St. and Second St. be closed during construction (approximately 18 months). This morning several staff members met internally to discuss these items and concluded that we need to meet with applicant to discuss the parking removal. Danielle will also be adding this item to the upcoming CTC and TMT meetings for further discussion. The developer will need to notify neighboring properties and hold a public meeting in advance of the parking removal request being forwarded to City Council. We anticipate this may be a contentious request considering the recent events associated with the Domain a block away. (FYI... Debbie Eller has a meeting coming up on Monday with Chris Scotti and intends to mention the parking situation.) We also concluded that the site plan cannot be stamped until the parking removal has been approved by Council, since fire protection for the site depends on it. The applicant has expressed that they are on a tight schedule, so they may not be happy with the process potentially taking 2-3 more months. Please let us know if you have any questions or comments.

I will add that to my comments. Also I have looked at the building set already so I can call them and say it will be on hold until the SP is stamped but they may still get comments from you. From: Benjamin Mccarty Sent: Tuesday, January 20, 2015 11:21 AM To: Jessica Bullock Subject: RE: Second St Apts Jess, Accessible parking required for apartments is 2 percent of the approved provided total parking count per the UDO. Example: (if 176 x .02 = 3.52) = round up to 4 Accessible Parking Spaces. The entry doors and exit doors shall have hard, solid surface landings and sidewalks to comply with the Accessibility Standards for an Accessible Route. Decomposed granite does not meet�ccessible Route requirements. Benjamin McCarty CO�GrQlo— Plans Examiner (Commercial & Multi -Family Projects) Building Division Planning & Development Services Dept.

I wanted to make sure 6 was the correct number they should provide. • Ingress/egress — Can you take a look at the doors on the north side? One entryway goes to a handicap loading space. Then there are the doors in the right corner by stairwell #2 that lead outside. On the landscape plan they show decomposed granite will be along the building about 3' wide. I have attached the site plan. If you need the hard copy the folder is in Erika's office. Jessica Bullock Staff Planner Planning & Development Services City of College Station P.O.

Weido Sent: Tuesday, January 27, 2015 7:55 AM To: Jessica Bullock Cc: Deven Doyen Subject: RE: Second Street Apts Jessica I visited with Deven at Schultz Engineering and he is currently working on that easement. Right now it looks like about a 10' x 32'. However, he is still tweaking things and will submit it to your office once he has the exact size nailed down. Let me know if you need anything else.

Weido Sent: Friday, January 16, 2015 3:26 PM To: Jessica Bullock Subject: RE: Second Street Apts You can mention it again, it never hurts to remind them. I have been in contact with the civil engineer and he is aware that we need one light on boyett st. He has the specs as well. From: Jessica Bullock Sent: Friday, January 16, 2015 3:25 PM To: Samuel D. Weido Subject: RE: Second Street Apts One more thing, I noticed there is currently one street light there. Do they need any others, should I include a note for them to contact you about that? From: Samuel D. Weido Sent: Friday, January 16, 2015 3:20 PM To: Jessica Bullock Subject: RE: Second Street Apts There is a transformer going on the Boyett St side right behind the traditions parking garage and yes it will need an easement.

Weido Subject: Second Street Apts Sam, For project 15-02, they are proposing an electrical transformer on the bottom left of the site plan. Will they need an easement for that?

Just wanted to make sure that you are covered. It wasn't until I looked at the building elevation sheets that I could see the clearance space is less than 14. From: Wally Urrutia Sent: Friday, January 16, 2015 3:37 PM To: Jessica Bullock Subject: RE: Second St Apts That's what we noticed on the site plan. I had made a comment asking that we need to discuss how garbage services would be collected. Some of these roll -out the container from the building, so I don't know if this is what their intention is. I have not heard anything from the developer. Thanks. From: Jessica Bullock Sent: Friday, January 16, 2015 3:21 PM To: Wally Urrutia Subject: Second St Apts Wally, For project 15-02, the clear space for the compactor does not appear to have a 14' clear space. They are also showing roll -up doors. I wanted to check with you to see if you had any conversations with the applicant.
