Pete Vanecek should be able to send you some links or actual stuff on 2 or 3 vendors' layouts to consider along with a materials cost A good part of the cost is the poured in place synthetic surfacing that we would recommend for the installation. We'll get Pete to send you the stuff. Thanks, Tony This message sent from my wireless Blackberry device -----Original Message---- From: Venessa Garza To: David Schmitz <Dschmitz@cstx.gov> To: Marco A Cisneros <Mcisneros@cstx.gov> Sent: 2/24/2010 2:30:39 PM Subject: Campus Village -Trail with outdoor exercise station(s) Good afternoon, Can I get some direction on what the Parks and Recreation Advisory Board or the Department will find acceptable to meet the requirements of including exercise equipment in with the trail that will be funded with Parkland dedication funds. Based on our previous conversation 1. It would need to be outside of the floodplain. 2. It could be stations along the trail or one area with all stations So if it is stations along the trail, what's the minimum number of stations acceptable? It may be constrained based on #1 but I'd rather give them a minimum first and let them figure out if it is feasible?

Lifelong fitness is a great investment and can provide terrific health benefits. Being in your best physical condition can help fight off illnesses and diseases more effectively, help you feel better and create a stronger heart, lungs, skeletal system and muscles. Plus, being a healthy adult also sets a good example for the kids in your family and community. Pain Reduction: You may notice that when you are more active, you have less pain in your muscles and joints. Increased Muscle Strength and Endurance: When you are more fit, you'll find that you have increased strength, especially in the larger muscles in the legs, arms and back. You may also notice that you have greater endurance, and get tired less easily. Increased Core Strength: When your core muscles (those in your abdominal and lower back areas) are in good shape, you can experience less lower back pain, better balance and feel stronger overall. Increased Flexibility: It's a fact, as we age, we become less flexible. Through stretching, strength-training and other activities, you can maintain, and possibly regain, some of your flexibility. When teens and young adults are growing, it's important to support effective strength training and agility work. Improved Ability to Perform Daily Tasks: When you are more fit, you may notice that you can pick up things easier, reach items easier, utilize better balance skills and have more energy. Improved Quality of Life: Research shows that when adults maintain a better level of fitness, they stay healthier and have an overall higher satisfaction in life, and greater resilience to aging. Weight-Bearing Exercise Combats Risk of Osteoporosis: Weight-bearing exercise ca n improve balance and build bone mass. Having better balance can reduce falls and having stronger bones reduces the risk of fractures. Cardiovascular: Having a healthy heart means having a healthier body. Since your heart is your body's engine, pumping blood throughout your body, it's important to keep it strong. Psychological Benefits: Adult activity and exercise has been proven to improve self- confidence and self-efficiency, increase alertness, improve cognitive and reasoning skills, reduce symptoms of depression and offer stress reduction. Social Benefits: Adult fitness programs can get everyone out of the house a.nd out into the world! Why not get a fitness buddy? They can help you stay motivated and keep you on track. Working out together provides a good time for conversation, and it's something that parents, grandparents and teens can do together-a terrific .J multigenerational activity! ~) 2008 LA1'::>SCAPE srnuc-u=tES INC HealthBeat'" User Guide Wh landscape structures· HealthBeat™ is designed for all fitness levels The HealthBeat"" Outdoor Fitness System is designed for beginner, intermediate and advanced users, and provides cardiovascular, strength training, endurance and flexibility benefits.

It prepares your body for exercise and gradually revs up your cardiovascular system, increases blood flow to your muscles and raises your body temperature. Choose a warm-up activity that uses the same muscles you'll use during your workout. For example, if you're going to take a brisk 30-minute walk, walk slowly for a few minutes to warm up. Stretching Stretching is very valuable as it gets your muscles ready to work out. It can balance your body, promote unrestricted movement and reduce the risk of overstressing or injuring muscles. Hold each stretch for at least 30 seconds. And remember to keep it gentle. Don't bounce. Sudden or aggressive movements may cause injury. Focus on your calves, thighs, hips, lower back, neck and shoulders-or other muscles and joints that you routinely use at work or play. Hold each stretch for at least 30 seconds,_and then repeat the stretch on the other side. Expect to feel some tension while you're stretching. If it hurts, back off to the point where you don't feel any pain. Relax and breathe freely throughout each stretch. When you feel loosened up, you're ready to begin your workout. Remember to stretch after your workout too. It will give your muscles a chance to "cool down" and relax.

A simple way to calculate your Maximum Heart Rate (MHR) is 220 minus your age. The chart below shows a breakdown of Heart Rate Training Zones. Your training zones, based on your individual circumstances, may vary greatly. Heart Rate Chart Moderate Activity 50-60 percent o f MHR Great for beginners and those p rimarily interested in exercising for weight loss. Weight Management 60-70 percent of MHR Helps with weight management and strengthens your heart , giving it the opportunity to work at its optimum level. Aerobic 70-80 percent of MHR Benefits not only your heart but also your respiratory system. Increases your endurance and enhances your aerobic power, which is the ability to transport oxygen to, and carbon dioxi de away from, the sport-specific muscles. Anaerobic Threshold 80-90 percent of MHR Reached during high performance training. It's the physiological point during exercise at w hich lactic acid starts to accumulate in the muscles. Increasing the intensity at which this threshold is reached will improve performance.

Core Exercise: The core is not just your abdominal muscles. The core is the foundation of your body and also includes lower back muscles-it's the beginning point for all movement. Core exercises are an important part of overall fitness training that, except for t he occasional sit-up o r crunch, are often neglected. Examples: yoga, Pilates, crunches, sit-ups, stability ball exercises, HealthBeat'" Ab Crunch/Leg Lift Benefits: Can help with reducing low back pain. Provides increased protection and "bracing" for your back. When you have good core stability, the muscles in your pelvis, lower back, hips and abdomen work in harmony. They provide support to your spine for just about any activity. A weak core can make you susceptible to poor posture, lower back pain and muscle injuries. Strong core muscles provide the brace of support needed to help prevent pain and injury. page 19 <?> 2008 LA'IDSCAPE STRUCTURES INC HealthBeat'" User Guide Jlrti landscape structures· Balance and Flexibility: Whether on a basketball court, stability ball or walking down stairs, maintaining balance is key to all fuhctional movements for all ages.

Besides helping you maintain a healthy weight, good nutrition is essential for the body and for all its systems to function optimally for a lifetime. In fact, the benefits of good nutrition can be found in physical and mental health because a healthy diet provides energy, promotes good sleep and gives the body what it needs to stay healthy. When you consider the benefits of good nutrition, it's easier to eat healthy. The Heart The heart is your body's engine. Heart-healthy eating involves avoiding foods high in saturat- ed fats and cholesterol that can lead to heart disease. Medical research has provided solid evidence that certain foods do increase the risk of heart disease and that there is a direct link to saturated fats and cholesterol. By avoiding foods that contain these heart-unhealthy substances, you can ensure that your heart will function properly for years to come. Bones While the heart keeps the whole body going, your bones help keep it all together. Healthy bones are necessary throughout your life and become more important as you age. It's essential to take in enough calcium to maintain and promote bone health. You can avoid many bone conditions that may develop later in life by providing your body with enough calcium in your diet. Milk and other dairy products contain calcium and should be consumed every day. Energy Though many benefits of good nutrition today may not be realized until later in life, one benefit you can see daily is in your energy level. Foods that are excessively sugary or high in fats can minimize your energy levels from day to day. Fats are slow to digest, and thus don't provide your body with a steady source of energy. Sugary foods can create fluctuations in blood sugar levels, causing you to feel tired very shortly after eating. By eating a healthy diet, you maintain your energy levels (and blood sugar) at a constant level throughout the day, and the result is simply feeling better. When you look at all the benefits of good nutrition, you quickly realize that eating healthy and making healthy food choices result in a healthier lifest y le. Anyone can start enjoying the benefits of good nutrition by changing just one eating habit a week. Cut down on foods high in fat and begin replacing them with whole grain foods, low fat f_oods and fresh fruit and vegetables. You'll be reaping the benefits of good nutrition before you know it! page 21 <!> 2008 LA'JDSCAPE STRUCTURES INC HealthBeat'" User Guide Jlrh landscape . structures· Circuit Training Circuit training provides opportunities to improve mobility, strength and stamina. This type of workout is also great for competition preparation, so you can achieve your peak performance. A circuit training workout utilizes several exercises that are completed one exercise after another. Each exercise is performed for a specified number of repetitions or for a prescribed time, before moving on to the next. The total number of circu its performed during a train ing session will vary, depending on your fitness level, and your training goals.

Anyone who has been cleared for exercise by their physician can benefit from a strength training routine. Key points to understand when beginning a strength training program include: • A single lift is called a "rep" • A group of reps done in a row is called a "set" • Find a resistance level that you can lift 8 to 12 times with the last few reps fairly difficult to complete. A lack of progress or "gains" in a new program often is the result of lifting too little weight. The muscles should feel challenged to complete the set. • All participants should begin with a 5-minute cardiovascular warm-up. Listed next are strength training routines appropriate for beginning, intermediate and experienced fitness levels. Beginning Strength Training Routine All exercises will be done for 3 full sets with a 30-second rest period between each set. Choose a resistance level (one is the least resistance, six is the greatest) where the last 3 to 4 reps feel like a struggle, but can be completed with good technique. The first few times through the routine, one or two sets is sufficient. Advance to the full three sets when fully comfortable with the equipment and the routine.

The layout and programming of the Tower Point site has been revised since the previous TIA reviewed by COCS in September 2007. HEB wants to move quickly; site permitting is to be completed by the end of October 2009. A sealed TIA is required as part of the site permit documents. Current traffic counts must be used for the revised TIA. COCS will not provide any traffic counts; some counts were provided previously as the TIA was also serving to validate the capacity of the Arrington Road extension with the roundabout. Barron Road from Decatur Drive to SH 6 is being reconstructed from a two lane to a four lane divided roadway. It will eventually be extended across SH 6 under a new overpass being constructed by TxDOT; that project should be completed in about two years. Barron Road is scheduled for substantial completion by end of October. No traffic counts cna be collected at Barron Road and Decatur Drive until then . However, if WPM collects 24 hour directional counts along Barron south of Decatur and south of Alexandria Avenue and can show the traffic volume trends are relatively consistent with previous counts, then the old counts for Barron and Decatur may be "grown". All other locations counted as part. of the previous TIA are to be counted again as they should reflect typical conditions. The following intersections must be analyzed : 1. SH 40 and SH 6 Frontage Roads 2. SH 40 and Old Arrington Road 3. SH 6 and Arrington Road 4. Arrington Road and Decatur Drive _ 5. Decatur Drive and Southern Plantation Drive 6. Alexandria Avenue and Southern Plantation Drive 1301 MCKINNEY, SUITE 1100 HOUSTON, TEXAS 77010 PHONE: 71 3.630.7300 FAX: 713.630.7396 WWW.WAL TERPMOORE .coM f Tower Point Phase 1 WPM Project No. 23.05040.05 Preliminary Scoping Meeting for Updated TIA August 26, 2009 (Document Issued August 27, 2009) Page 2 of 2 7. Roundabout 8. All site driveways at their intersection with a public roadway Only AM and PM peak hour conditions need to be considered. According to Joe, the current COCS Thoroughfare Plan has designated the corridor extending east from the roundabout (the fourth leg) as a "minor two lane collector''. The desired cross section is 48 feet which provides two moving lanes of traffic, bike lanes, and on-street parking. However, the context of the site is not conducive to this design. Instead, the road could be designed as a 28' roadway -two 14' shared use lanes with no on-street parking; it could have a median and it would remain a private road. In lieu of the bike lanes, a shared use path is desired along the south high bank of Spring Creek. It would tie into the shared use path at the roundabout and run eastward towards the bridge box under SH 6. COCS plans to approach TxDOT about having the bridge box being used as a trail connection to the east side of SH 6. COCS also desires for the portion of the fourth leg which is a functional portion of the roundabout to be in public right-of-way. Troy is to determine if COCS is prepared to purchase the right-of- way. Gary broached the idea of a median opening for a driveway along SH 40. Troy and Joe stated that COCS would not support any median openings and that they believed TxDOT would also deny any such request. Troy said he was working on a signal warrant study for SH 40 and Arrington Road . He believes a signal is needed and COCS will pay for it. He is trying to get TxDOT to approve the signal. For Para. 4.b. requirements in the TIA ordinance (zoning), the general land descriptions as currently appear in the TIA are acceptable; a figure with zoning boundaries is needed in the TIA. To address Para. 4.f.4. in the TIA ordinance (neighborhood traffic analysis), WPM is to do 24 hour approach counts and peak hour TMCs at Decatur and Southern Plantation and Alexandria and Southern Plantation. The TMCs will be used for Synchro analysis; the approach counts will be given to Troy for him to perform an all-way stop warrant analysis. It is desirable for intersections, approaches, and movements to be LOS D or better. However, the context of the delay associated with LOS E or LOS F will be considered in determining if any mitigation will be required. The traffic distribution percentages from the previous TIA were considered as appropriate except the traffic using Arrington road across SH 40 should be increased from 5% to 10% and the traffic from SH 6 soth of SH 40 decreased from ·15% to 10%. An interim TIA will be submitted for review. Review comments will be addressed in the final TIA.

To: January 14, 2010 Regular Agenda Item No. 2 Campus Village Rezoning 1711 Harvey Mitchell Parkway·South Glenn Brown, City Manager .~ ,.w From: Bob Cowell, AICP, Director of Planning & Development Services Agenda Caption: Public hearing, presentation, possiblL9.(:tion, and discussion on an ordinance amending Chapter 12, "Unified Development Ordinance," Section 4.2, "Official Zoning Map" of the Code of Ordinances of the City of College Station, Texas by rezoning from C-1 General Commercial, R-4 Multi-Family, and A-0 Agricultural Open to PDD Planned Development District for 42.56 acres located at 1711 Harvey Mitchell Parkway South. Recommendation(s): The Planning & Zoning Commission considered this item at their regular meeting on December 17, 2009 and unanimously recommended approval with the conditions presented by Staff. Staff recommended approval with the condition that the development have a minimum density of 15 dwelling units per acre or 40 bedrooms per acre, whichever is less, and that the non-residential buildings and areas in the commercial and mixed use portions meet the Non-Residential Architecture Standards contained in Section 7. 9 of the Unified Development Ordinance for building plots with uses in excess of 50,000 gross square feet in area. Summary: The Unified Development Ordinance provides the following review criteria for zo ning map amendments: REVIEW CRITERIA 1. Consistency with the Comprehensive Plan: The Comprehensive Plan designates the subject property as Urban, Commercial, and Natural Areas Reserved and part of Growth Area VI. This Urban Growth Area is described as an area "for intense land use activities including general commercial, office uses, townhomes, high-density apartments, and vertical mixed-use." The proposed development includes commercial uses at the corner of Southwest Parkway and Wellborn Road with the potential ofmulti-family units above the ground floor to create vertical mixed use, multi-family uses on the center portion of the property, and commercial uses at the south driveway along Harvey Mitchell Parkway. The FEMA 100-year floodplain is being retained as Natural Area Reserved and the location for the multi~use path shown on the Bike and Pedestrian Master Plan is being accommodated and may be constructed in lieu of NE?tghborhood Park Development fees as discussed later. 2. Compatibility with the present zoning and conforrrring uses of nearby property and with the character of the neighborhood: The property at the rear and many in the general area are zoned and developed as multi-family.· The property to the north across Southwest Parkway is zoned and developed for commercial uses. 3. Suitability of the property affected by the amendment for uses permitted by the district. that would be made applicable by the proposed amendment: The proposed PDD zoning provides for a mix of uses on the subject property. This mix allows the proposed and surrounding multi-family uses to utilize the smaller scale commercial areas that are being retained while allowing them to become more integrated than what would likely occur if developed independently. The proposed development also retains the floodplain as open space and proposes to construct the multi-use path along the Bee Creek tributary through the development to allow better ·f'edestrian and bicycle connectivity. 4. Suitability of the property affected by the amendment for uses permitted by the district applicable to the property at tlfe time of the proposelt -amendment: The property is located at the intersection of two major arterials (Harvey Mitchell Parkway and Wellborn Road) and also has frontage on a minor arterial (Southwest Parkway). This type of frontage is typically well suited for commercial uses. Access to the property is somewhat limited due to constraints associated with the grade separation of Harvey Mitchell Parkway and Wellborn Road currently under construction. Though it is also over 40 acres in size, the subject property is relatively narrow in depth for large scale commercial uses and slopes to the rear, thus reducing its visibility from the adjacent roadways. 5. Marketability of the property affected by the amendment for uses permitted by the district applicable to the property at the time of the proposed amendment: C-1 General Commercial zoned property is generally considered marketable in College Station. The property was zoned C-1 General Commercial in 1975 and has remained undeveloped. 6. Availability of water, wastewater, stormwater, and transportation facilities generally suitable and adequate for the proposed use: There are existing 12-inch water mains along the property's northern, eastern, and western borders, which will be looped and extended with site development. The subject property is also supported by a series of 10-inch, 18-inch, and 24-inch sanitary sewer mains. Drainage is mainly to the north within the Tributary "B" portion of the Bee Creek Drainage Basin. The site is partially encumbered by the FEMA 100-year floodplain along its northern property line. The development proposes to take access with one driveway to Southwest Parkway, one to Wellborn Road, and two to Harvey Mitchell Parkway. These driveway points will help distribute traffic and provide alternate routes to destinations. While the traffic impact analysis (TIA) states the proposed development will result in approximately 823 weekday AM peak hour trips and 1,153 weekday PM peak hour trips, adequate levels of service will be maintained on the adjacent public roadways. In addition, the number of trips resulting from the proposed development is less than what would occur if the existing C-1 General Commercial zoning remained and solely commercial uses were developed. R~VIEW OF CONCEPT PLAN The applicant has provided the following information related to the purpose and intent of the proposed zoning district: ''The purpose of the development is to provide an urban pedestrian and bike friendly development containing multi-family housing, retail, and related uses in close proximity to Texas A&M University. The intent of the overall development is to provide for housing with the reta il, restaurant, and related commercial uses being integrated in the overall development that will support not only the development, but nearby residential as well as pass by traffic." In accordance with this purpose statement, the Concept Plan proposes three different use areas. Commercial uses are proposed at the corner of Southwest Parkway and Wellborn Road with the potential of multi-family units above that would create vertical mixed use. This area will allow for the uses permitted in the P-MUD Planned Mixed Use District with addition of Health Care, Medical Clinic and Drive-in I thru window uses and will follow the dimensional standards and requirements of the C-1 General Commercial district as proyided in the UDO. The center portion is a multi-family area that will adhere to the uses and standards of the R-6 High Density Multi-family district, while the commercial area to the south along Harvey Mitchell Parkway will follow the uses and standards of the C-1 General Commercial district. The 100-year floodplain is retained as Natural Areas Reserved and the Concept Plan accommodates the relocation of the existing hike and bike trail easement so the multi-use path may be constructed. The applicant proposes some specific aspects to help create a pedestrian, urban-like environment. A maximum height of five-stories, or roughly 65 feet, is proposed with a minimum height of two-stories for the primary buildings in the mixed use and multi-family areas. Accessory structures, ADA accessible dwelling units, and commercial only .buildings may be one-story. A maximum setback of 100 feet is proposed in mixed use area . The applicant proposes the areas developed with residential uses will have a minimum density of 15 dwelling units per acre or 30 bedrooms per acre, whichever is less. The Natural Area Reserved I Open Space and multi-use path areas may be deducted from the total area calculated for density. While a minimum density will help create the urban character that is envisioned for this area, the density figures proposed by the applicant are not sufficient to meet this purpose. While Staff recommended the minimum 15 dwelling units per acre, an informal survey of recent multi-family developments in College Station has shown that almost all exceed the 30 bedrooms per acre threshold. Staff recommends a minimum density of 15 dwelling units per acre or 40 bedrooms per acre, whichever is less. Other provisions include that Parking Areas and Access will have pedestrian connections to the multi-use path and that solid fencing is not permitted adjacent to the public right-of-way or to the multi-use path. Only parallel parking will be allowed along the main central drive which will not be gated. Upon development, the existing traffic circles will be modified to meet fire apparatus road standards and turning radii. If structured parking is provided in the mixed use or multi-family areas, it will be screened from the right-of-way by another building or be designed to be compatible in material and design to the primary buildings which are adjacent to it. Though discussed with the applicant, an architectural style has not been formally proposed . Staff recommends that the non-residential buildings and areas in the commercial and mixed use portions meet the Non-Residential Architecture Standards contained in Section 7.9 of the Unified Development Ordinance for building plots with uses in excess of 50,000 gross square feet in area. At the time of site plan and plat, the project will need to meet all applicable standards required by the Unified Development Ordinance. Staff is currently undertaking an effort to create new zoning districts to implement the different character areas envisioned by the Comprehensive Plan. In the absence of a defined urban zoning district, the applicant and Staff· have negotiated through various standards to seek to attain an urban-style appropriate for this portion of the City, while seeking to retain flexibility for both parties. Through the PDD, the additional standards already described above are intended to achieve this objective along with the applicant's request for the following meritorious modifications: • Section 3.17 "Administrative Adjustment" of the Unified Development Ordinance The applicant is requesting that the Administrator be granted additional authority and flexibility to grant adjustments. Instead of being limited to up to 10% adjustments on only setbacks and parking standards, the Administrator may grant such adjustments to any design standard such as landscaping. This will allow the Administrator to exercise additional discretion in the development of the m ixed use and urban areas .as neces$~ • Section 5.2 "Residential Dimensional Standards" and 5.4 "Non-Residential Dimensional Standards" of the Unified Development Ordinance The applicant is requesting that the minimum building setbacks for internal property lines shall be 5 feet. An internal property line is defined as a property li ne not bounded by a public right-of-way. The effect is to reduce the side and rear setbacks internal to the development to facilitate more dense and urban-like development. • Section 7.2.E "Interior Islands" of the Unified Development Ordinance The applicant is requesting that landscape areas between abutting head-in parking are allowed to be counted toward the interior landscape island requirements. To qualify the middle island area will need to be at least 8 feet in width. This will allow greater flexibility in the placement of islands and create a more natural appearance than if limited only t o the interior or end of parking rows. • Section 7.4.N "Freestanding Commercial Signs" of the Unified Development Ordinance The subject property is part of a building plot over 85 acres in area, which includes The Woodlands of College Station development at rear of the site. Existing sign regulations would limit this building plot to two freestanding signs. The applicant is requesting two additional freestanding signs be permitted within the building plot to allow The Woodlands of College Station, which does not have frontage to a public street, signage on Harvey Mitchell Parkway and Southwest Parkway. The proposed signs would be limited 10 feet in height and 100 square feet in area each. • Section 7.6.F "Buffer Standards" of the Unified Development Ordinance The applicant is requesting that no buffer be required between the proposed commercial and mixed use areas and the existing and proposed multi-family uses. The existing multi-family uses in the area are already buffered from the proposed commercial uses by flood plain and open space while the proposed multi-family uses are being integrated with the proposed commercial uses. • Section 8.2.A.9.b "Utility Easements" of the Unified Development Ordinance The applicant is requesting that public utility easements not be required on internal lot lines if the property is replatted. Easements will be required to serve infrastructure to each lot. The UDO requires easements on the rear of all lots when platting. Due to t he likely configuration of the future lots, this requirem ent would otherwise req uire easements in floodplain or areas with existing vegetation. • Section 8.2.A.10 "Blocks" of the Unified Development Ordinance The applicant is requesting that the property will not be subject to block length requirements if the property is replatted. When the property was originally platted in 2006, the Commission granted block length varia nces. In addition, tlie existing Christine Lane right-of-way was abandoned. The property ranges between 400 and 600 feet in depth with floodplain and developed property at the rear and access that is constrained by the Harvey Mitchell Parkway/ Wellborn Road grade separation. In lieu of block length (the construction of public streets), the applicant has proposed to construct the central drive with a minimum 24-foot paving width, 5-foot sidewalks on both sides, allow parallel parking and meet driveway spacing standards for a minor collector and geometry, including centerline radii , for fire apparatus access roads. • Section 8.2.A.13 "Sidewalks" of the Unified Development Ordinance The applicant is requesting that when the property is developed, sidewalks will not be required along Harvey Mitchell Parkway. With the Harvey Mitchell Parkway I Wellborn Road grade separation, no pedestrian or bicycle facilities will be provided at grade across the railroad or on the overpass over it. Pedestrian and bicycle modes will be accommodated away from Harvey Mitchell Parkway on the multi-use path and central drive that is to be constructed with a sidewalk on each side. Sidewalks will be provided on Wellborn Road and Southwest Parkway. • Section 8.7 "Requirements for Parkland Dedication" of theJJnified Development Ordinance The applicant is requesting that in lieu of the l\Jeighborhood Park Development Fee ($622 per dwelling unit), the developer may design and construct the multi-use path and receive dollar-for-dollar credit against the neighborhood park development fee. The Parks and Recreation Advisory Board and Greenways Program Manager have recommended approval of this modification. Fees in lieu of Neighborhood Park land acquisition and Community Park land acquisition and development, equaling $1,024 per multi-family unit, will still be required . The multi-use path will be designed with Phase 1 of the development and will be constructed and dedicated to the City prior to Certificates of Occupancy of Phase 2. The design is to meet City specifications for a public multi-use path and include exercise stations. The developer may opt out of the path construction but will be required to pay the fee in lieu of Neighborhood Park development for all units. The following meritorious modifications apply to the mixed use area only if it is developed as vertical mixed use. The modifications of these standards are intended to be in keeping with the intent of an urban, vertical mixed use environment and be incentives for its development. To qualify as vertical mixed use at least 20% of the gross floor area must consist of residential uses above the ground floor. • Section 7.2.C.7 Subsection of "Dimensions and Access" of the Unified Development Ordinance The applicant is requesting a reduction in the "double island" requirement for parking located within 15 feet of a right-of-way. Instead of a double island (18' x 20') required for every seven parking spaces, a "single" nine-foot island will be required for every 15 parking spaces. • Section 7.4 "Signs" of the Unified Development Ordinance The applicant is requesting that the area developed as vertical mixed use be permitted to utilize Hanging Signs and Projection Signs as allowed in the Northgate districts as described in Section 5.6.B.12.c.3 and 4. • Section 7.4 "Signs" of the Unified Development Ordinance The applicant is requesting that banners be permitted on light poles internal to the site and allow a community flag for the residential development. • Section 7.9.E.3 "Landscaping" of the Unified Development Ordinance The applicant is requesting that the vertical mixed use area not be subject to the double landscaping points required for a building plot in excess of 50,000 square feet. While double landscaping points would be required if only commercial were developed, the more intense vertical mixed use would meet the standard landscaping requirements. The applicant has also requested that if approved, the ordinance "will not become effective unless a deed executed by Brazos County Markets, LLC is recorded in the Official Records of Brazos County, Texas on or before the 15th day June, 2010." This allows the developer the opportunity to finalize financing while allowing the o·~ner to retain the C-1 General Commercial zoning if the property is not closed on by that date. The Unified Development Ordinance provides the following review criteria for PDD Concept Plans: 1. The proposal will constitute an environment of sustained stability and will be in harmony with the character of the surrounding area: The Concept Plan proposes a mix of multi-family and commercial uses. As designated on the Comprehensive · Plan, the subject property is proposed as Urban, Commercial, and Natural Areas Reserved. A mixed-use environment potentially allows better opportunities for residents to shop, dine and work where they live, thus reducing traffic on nearby streets and encouraging a more walkable en vironment. 2. The proposal is in conformity with the policies, goals, and objectives of the Comprehensive Plan, and any subsequently adopted Plans, and will be consistent with the intent and purpose of this Section: The proposed Concept Pla n is in general conformity with the policies, goals and objectives of the Comprehensive Plan. The Future Land Use and Character Map designates this area for Urban and Commercial uses, which is what is currently proposed. · 3. The proposal is compatible with existing or permitted uses on abutting sites and will not adversely affect adjacent development: The proposed development includes the potential for a vertical mixed-use structure on the corner of Southwest Parkway and Wellborn Road with separate multi-family and commercial uses on the remainder of the property. Properties in the area are developed as similar commercial or multi-family uses and other vacant properties are anticipated to be developed in a similar fashion. 4. Every dwelling unit need not front on a public street but shall have access to a public street directly or via a court, walkway, public area, or area owned by a homeowners association: The proposed development has frontage to three major roadways: Harvey Mitchell Parkway, Wellborn Road, and Southwest Parkway. The multi- family units and commercial uses will access these roadways through a network of private drive aisles as depicted on the Concept Plan. s. The development includes provision of adequate public improvements, including, but not limited to~ parks, schools, and other public facilities: The development proposes to construct the multi-use path located within and adjacent-to the floodplain on the subject property. This will help facilitate bike and pedestrian movements away from the vehicular modes on Harvey Mitchell Parkway and Wellborn Road. 6. The development will not be detrimental to the puplic health, safety, w~are, or ·materially injurious to properties or improvements in the vicinity: The subject property and surrounding area is designated for Urban and Commercial uses. The proposed development will be complimentary to the vicinity. 7. The development will not adversely affect the safety and convenience of vehicular, bicycle, or pedestrian circulation in the vicinity, including traffic reasonably expected to be generated by the proposed use and other uses reasonably anticipated in the area considering existing zoning and land uses in the area: The TIA demonstrates that the proposed development will not adversely impact the surrounding uses and streets with an undue traffic burden as the most significant traffic impacts will be retained within the proposed development. Though additional trips will be generated, the proposed development provides alternate vehicular, bicycle and pedestrian circulation routes as well as additional commercial opportunities that are not currently available in the area.

Please verify that the minimum required radii are being provided . Response: Minimum of 25' radii is met throughout the trail except where geometry constraints warranted smaller radii. These locations are limited to areas near tie-ins to roadways and are stopping points on the trail. 2. Please show and label sidewalk ramps. These should be based on the City's standard sidewalk details. Response: Ramps were acknowledged by noting the trait's tie-in point to the Campus Village Roadway. Ramp details were added to the new project detail sheet 13. 3. Sh.4 -It appears that there is a proposed 8.33% slope which would exceed acceptable grades. Please clarify. Response: The 8.33% grade shown on sheet 4 is a proposed handicap ramp at the max slope of 1:12. 4. Please show the location of the floodway on the plan and profile dwgs. Response: Floodway is now shown. 5. In several locations it looks like the algebraic change in grade exceeds 1 %. Please provide vertical curves in these areas. Response: Changes in vertical grade exceeding an algebraic difference of 1% include a vertical curve except in areas where the proposed trail ties into the Campus Village roadway with ADA ramps. 6. Please provide horizontal curve data. Response: Horizontal curve data is now included. 7. All applicable City Standard Details should be included in the plan set. Response: Applicable data is now included on the new detail sheet 13. 8. Please provide an Engineer's Cost Estimate for the hike & bike trail construction. Response: Engineer's estimate included 9. Please provide a Letter of Acknowledgment for the hike & bike trail design. Response: Acknowledgment letter attached 10. Please provide detailed grading information along the path and on either side of it (including additional spot elevations). Response: Contouring of the proposed trail grading has been included. It is expected the contractor will construct the trail based on the information provided in the vertical profile and the typical cross Section. 11. Please provide an erosion control plan including recommendations for stabilizing the slopes. Response: Hydro-mulching and erosion control blanket extents are shown on the Erosion Control Sheets 10-12. Slope stabilization and erosion control blanket specifications are shown on the Miscellaneous Detail Sheet 13. 12. Based on the grading plan in the Campus Village Ph.1 A construction plans, it appears that the "Typical Section" detail on Sh. 2 is not completely accurate. Response: Please see the updated "Typical Section." 13. Please verify that maximum grades are not exceeding 4:1 within PUEs or 3:1 in all other locations. Response: Grades are designed not to exceed 3:1 slopes along the trail and 4:1 in Public Utility Easements. 14. Please verify that the 0.5% minimum longitudinal slope is being provided (unless the path is proposed at natural grade which is less than the minimum). Response: The trail has been designed with a minimum 0. 5% slope except in ldcations where we are matching existing grades and adjustment of those grades would result in additional grading within the floodplain area. 15. How will significant fill around Sta. 19+00 be stabilized to avoid erosion and damage to the trail? Response: The fill near Sta. 19+00 will be located outside of the floodway, and stabilized by compacting the fill in multiple lifts. The fill area will then be covered with an erosion control blanket as outlined in the slope stabilization on sheet 14 and vegetative cover will be established 16.

Near the traffic circle toward Southwest Pkwy, there needs to be a sidewalk ramp on the Community Center side of the central drive aisle to receive the sidewalk from the Building 1 side. 2. There is inconsistency with the sidewalk ramps in different areas of the site. Some ramps go directly into a drive aisle while others have landing areas outside of the drive aisle. Whichever standard is used , please verify compliance with ADA requirements. 3. Staff has noted the island transition between the parallel and head-in parking spaces behind Building #1 has been added. Instead of removing a head-in space, the island could be shifted to the remove one of the 3 parallel spaces. The remaining 2 parallel spaces could be pulled back to increase the curve radii of the multi-use path in the area, reduce the amount of concrete and still meet the hammerhead specifications. 4. On sheet C-07, the parking added by Community Center mailboxes is not shaded with the thickness of concrete to be used. 5. On sheet C-08, temporary curbing needs to be provided on all driveway stubs to be extended with future development. 6. The Landscape Plan shows speed tables for the multi-use path crossings and other decorative pavement featu res along central drive aisle. Please provide additional material and color details/descriptions for these items. 7. Correct the detail for the typical speed table section on sheet L-05 of the Landscape Plan, it appears the dimensional figures are not correct or are incomplete. Also, verify that the speed tables meet the slopes and wheelbase widths necessary for a fire apparatus, particularly the aerial apparatus. 8. The new rezoning ordinance allows the reduction of double to single landscape islands when an equal number of trees are planted along the multi-use path. Based on the parking configuration along the right-of-way, there is a reduction of 22 single size island areas in Phase 1A and another 9 island areas in Phase 1 B. As such , 31 canopy trees are to be planted along the multi-use path. Please provide the canopy trees on the landscape plan and multi-use path plan . The trees do not receive landscape points and are to be irrigated unless some type of agreement or surety can be arranged for their survival for at least two years . The trees should be placed to serve primary functions of stabilizing potentially erosive stream bank areas and providing shade for the path . 9. Additional shrubs are to be provided for screening of the exposed grade beams of Buildings 4 & 5. 10. The phasing plan provided at the end of the civil set of construction documents also needs to be provided as a separate sheet for planning file. As for the phasing , the compactor would need to be part of the first phase that included multi-family units (the community center likely could use a roll-out can initially). Also, please ensure that there is adequate turn around areas for fire and sanitation vehicles as the phasing proceeds. 11 . Based on the 194 units proposed with this site plan, parkland dedication fees that total $246,768 will be due for the building permits to be issued. This total consists of Neighborhood Park Land Dedication (194 x $256/unit), Community Park Land Dedication (194 x $248/unit), and Community Park Development (194 x $768/unit). At this point the Neighborhood Park Development fees are being credited with the multi-use path construction. If the path is not constructed, an additional $120,668 (194 x $622/unit) will be due. 12. Please note that the Engineering Comments below only reflect a review of the multi-use path, the remaining construction documents comments from Erika will be forthcoming. 13. 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 been made aware of will constitute a completely new review.

Reviewed by: Joe Guerra Date: 6/29/10 ---- Appendix A: Techniques INSTREAM PRACTICES Boulder Clusters Groups of boulders placed in the base flow.channel to provide cover, create scour holes, or areas of reduced velocity. Weirs or Sills Log, boulder, or quarrystone structures placed across the channel and anchored to t he streambank and/or bed to create pool habitat, control bed erosion, or col lect and retain gravel. Appendix A Applications and Effectiveness • Can be used in most stream habitat types including riffles, runs, flats, glides and open pools. • Greatest benefits are realized in streams with average flows exceeding 2 feet per second. • Group placements are most desirable. Individual boulder placement might be effective in very small streams. • Most effective in wide, shallow streams with gravel or rubble beds. • Also useful in deeper streams for providing cover and improving sub- strate. • Not recommended for sand bed (and small er bed materials) streams because they tend to get buried. • Added erosive forces might ca use channel and bank failures. • Not recommended for streams which are aggrading or degrading. • May promote bar formation in streams with high bed material load. For More Information • Consult the following references: Nos. 11, 13, 21, 34, 39, 55, 60, 65, 69. Applications and Effectiveness • Create structural and hydraulic diversity in uniform channels. • If placed in series, they should not be so close together that all riffle and run habitat is eliminated. • Pools will rapidly fill with sediment in streams transporting heavy bed material loads. Riffles often are created in downstream deposition areas. Weirs placed in sand bed streams are subject to failure by undermining. • Potential to become low flow migration barriers. • Selection of material is important. -Boulder weirs are generally more permeable than other materials and might not perform well for funneling low flows. Voids between boulders may be chinked with smaller rock and cobbles to maintain flow over the crest. -Large, angular boulders are most desirable to prevent movement during high flows. -Log weirs will ·eventually decompose. • Design cross channel shape to meet specific need (s). -Weirs placed perpendicular to flow work well for creating backwater. -Diagonal orientations tend to redistribute scour and deposition patterns immediately downstream. -Downstream "V's" and "U's" can serve specific functions but caution should be exercised to prevent failures. -Upstream "V's" or "U's" provide mid-channel, scour pools below the weir for fish habitat, resting, and acceleration maneuvers during fish passage. -Center at lower elevation than sides will maintain a concentrated low flow channel. For More Information • Consult the following references: Nos. 11, 13, 44, 55, 58, 60, 69. A-5 INSTREAM PRACTICES Fish Passages Any one of a number of instream changes which enhance the opportunity for target fish species to freely move to upstream areas for spawning, habitat utilization, and other life functions. Log/Brush/Rock Sh elters Logs, brush, and rock structures installed in the lower portion of streambanks to enhance fish habitat, encourage food w eb dynamics. prevent streambank erosion, and provide shad ing. - A-6 Applications and Effectiveness • Can be appropriate in streams where natural or human placed obstruc- tions such as waterfalls, chutes, logs, debris accumulations, beaver dams, dams, sills, and culverts interfere with fish migration. • The aquatic ecosystem must be carefully evaluated to assure that fish passages do not adversely impact other aquatic biota and stream corridor functions. • Slopes, depths and relative positions of the flow profile for various flow ranges are important considerations. Salmonids, for example, can easily negotiate through vertical water drops where the approach pool depth is 1.25 times the height of the (drop subject to an overall species-specific limit on height) (CA Dept. of Fish and Game, 1994). • The consequences of obstruction removal for fish passage must be carefully evaluated. In some streams, obstructions act as barriers to undesirable exotics (e.g. sea lamprey) and are useful for scouring and sorting of materials, create important backwater habitat, enhance organic material input, serve as refuge for assorted species, help regulate water temperature, oxygenate water, and provide cultural resources. • Designs vary from simple to complex depending on the site and the target species. For More Information • Consult the foll owing references: Nos .. 11, 69, 81. Applications and Effectiveness • Most effective in low gradient stream bends and meanders where open pools are already present and overhead cover is needed. • Create an environment for insects and other organisms to provide an additional food source. Can .be constructed from readily available materials found near the site. • Not appropriate for unstable streams which are experiencing severe bank erosion and/or bed degradation unless integrated with other stabilization measures. • Important in streams where aquatic habitat deficiencies exist. • Should, where appropriate, be used with soil bioengineering systems and vegetative plantings to stabilize the upper bank and ensure a regenerative source of streambank vegetation. • Not generally as effective on the inside of bendways. For More Information • Consult the following references: Nos. 11 , 13, 39, 55, 65. Stream Corridor INSTREAM PRACTICES Lunker Structures Cel ls constructed of heavy wooden planks and blocks which are imbedded into the toe of stream banks at channel bed leve l to provide covered compartments for fish shelter, habitat. and prevention of streamba nk erosion. Migration Barriers Obstacles placed at strategic locations along streams to prevent undesirable species from accessing upstream areas. Appendix A Applications and Effectiveness • Appropriate along outside bends of streams where water depths can be maintained at or above the top of the structure. • Suited to streams where fish habitat deficiencies exist. • Should, where appropriate, be used with soil bioengineering systems and vegetative plantings to stabilize the upper bank and ensure a regenerative source of streambank vegetation. • Are often used in conjunction with wing deflectors and weirs to direct and manipulate fl ows. • Are not recommended for streams with heavy bed material loads. • Most commonly used in streams with gravel-cobble beds. • Heavy equipment may be necessary for excavating and installing the materials. • Can be expensive. For More Information • Consult the following references: Nos. 10, 60, 65, 85. Applications and Effectiveness • Effective for specific fishery management needs such as separating species or controlling nuisance species by creating a barrier to migration. • Must be carefully evaluated to assure migration barriers do not adversely impact other aquatic biota and stream corridor functions. • Both physical structures or electronic measures can be used as barriers. Structures can be installed across most streams, but in genera] they are most practical in streams with baseflows depths under two feet and widths under thirty feet. -Temporary measures such as seines can also be used under the above conditions. -Electronic barriers can be installed in deeper channels to discourage passage. Electronic barrier employs lights, electrical pulses or sound frequencies to discourage fish from entering the area. This technique has the advantage of not disturbing the stream and providing a solution for control in deep water. • Barriers should be designed so that flood flows will not flank them and cause failures. For More Information • Consult the following references: Nos. 11, 55. A-7 INSTREAM PRACTICES Tree Cover Felled trees placed along the streambank to provide overhead cover, aquatic organism substrate and habitat, stream current deflection, scouring, deposition, and drift catchment. Wing Deflectors Structures that protrude from either streambank but do not extend entirely across a channel. They deflect flows away from the bank, and scour pools by constricting the channel and accelerating flow. A-8 Applications and Effectiveness • Can provide benefits at a low installation cost. • Particularly advantageous in streams where the bed is unstable and felled trees can be secured from the top of bank. · Channels must be large enough to accommodate trees without threaten- ing bank erosion and limiting needed channel flow capacity. • Design of adequate anchoring systems is necessary. • Not recommended if debris jams on downstream bridges might cause subsequent problems. • Require frequent maintenance. • Susceptible to ice damage. For More Information • Consult the following references: Nos. 11 , 55, 69. Applications and Effectiveness. • Should be designed and located far enough downstream from riffle areas to avoid backwater effects that would drown out or otherwise damage the riffle. Should be sized based on anticipated scour. The material washed out of scour holes is usually deposited a short distance downstream to form a bar or riffle area. These areas of deposition are often composed of clean gravels that provide excellent habitat for certain species. • Can be installed in series on alternative streambanks to produce a meandering thalweg and associated structural diversity. • Rock and rock-filled log crib deflector structures are most common. • Should be used in channels with low physical habitat diversity, particu- larly those with a lack of stable pool habitat. • Deflectors placed in sand bed streams may settle or fail due to erosion of sand, and in these areas a filter layer or geotextile might be needed underneath the deflector. For More Information • Consult the following references: Nos. 10, 11, 18, 21, 34, 48, 55, 59, 65, 69, 77. Stream Corridor INSTREAM PRACTICES Grade Control Measures Rock, wood, earth, and other material structures placed across the channel and anchored in the streambanks to provide a "hard point" in the streambed that res ists the erosion forces of the degradational zone, and/or to reduce the upstream energy slope to prevent bed scour. Appendix A Applications and Effectiveness • If a stable channel bed is essential to the design, grade control should be considered as a first step before any restoration measures are imple- mented (if degradational processes exist in channel system). • Used to stop headcutting in degrading channels. • Used to build bed of incised stream to higher elevation. • Can improve bank stability in an incised channel by reducing bank heights. • Man-made scour holes downstream of structures can provide improved aquatic habitat. • Upstream pool areas created by structures provide increased low water depths for aquatic habitat. • Potential to become low flow migration barrier. • Can be designed to allow fish passage. • If significant filling occurs upstream of structure, then downstream channel degradation may result. • Upstream sediment deposition may cause increased meandering tendencies. • Siting of structures is critical component of design process, including soil mechanics and geotechnical engineering. • Design of grade control structures should be accomplished by an experi - enced river engineer.

For More Information • Consult the following references: Nos. 73, 78, 81. Applications and Effectiveness • Used where current management systems are causing problems in the watershed and have a h igh potential to impact the stream corridor. • Also applied where management plans are being implemented to restore one or more natural resource functions in a watershed. • Must consider how it fits within a comprehensive forestland management plan, a watershed action plan, or a stream corridor restoration plan. • BMPs may include: preharvest planning, streamside management measures, road construction or reconstruction, road management, timber harvesting, site preparation and forest generation, fire management, revegetation of disturbed areas, forest chemical management, and forest wetland management. For More Information • Consult the following references: Nos. 9, 20, 27, 30, 34, 42, 49, 51. 70, 78, 79,81 ,82,83,88,89. Stream Corridor WATERSHED MANAGEMENT Best Management Practices: Urban Areas Individual or systematic approaches designed to offset. reduce, or protect against the impacts of urban development and urban activities on t he stream corridor. Flow Regime Enhancement Manipulation of watershed features (such as changes in land use or construction of impoundments) for the purpose of controlling streamflow and improving physical, chemical and biological functions. Appendix A Applications and Effectiveness • Used to improve and/or restore ecological functions which have been impaired by urban activities. • Needs to be integrated with BMPs on other lands in the landscape to assure that stream restoration is applied along the entire stream corridor to the extent possible. • The use of individual urban BMPs should be coordinated with an overall plan for restoring the stream system. Urban sites are highly variable and have a high potential for disturbance. • Applicability of the treatment to the site situation_ in terms of physical layout, relationship to the overall system, arrangements for maintenance, and protection from disturbances are often critical considerations. • BMPs may include: extended detention dry basins, wet ponds, con- structed wetlands, oil-water separators, vegetated swales, filter strips, infiltration basins and trenches, porous pavement, and urban forestry. For More Information • Consult the following references: Nos. 29, 34, 43, 49, 78, 80, 81, 8_3. Applications and Effectiveness • Appropriate where human-induced changes have altered stream flow characteristics to the extent that streams no longer support their former functions. • Can restore or improve threatened functions (e.g .. substrate materials or distribution of flow velocities to support the natural food web). • Can require extensive changes over broad areas involving many land users. • Can be expensive. • Has been used for remediation of depleted dissolved oxygen levels, reduction in salinity levels, or to maintain a minimum flow level for downstream users. • Must determine what impacts from historical changes in the flow regime over time can be mitigated using flow enhancement techniques. For More Information • Consult the following references: Nos. 32, 39, 45, 57, 75, 81. A-23 WATERSHED MANAGEMENT Streamflow Temperature M anagement Streamside vegetat ion and upland practices to reduce elevated streamflow temperatures. A-24 Applications and Effectiveness • Effective for smaller streams where bank vegetation can provide substan- tial shading of the channel and on which much of the canopy has been removed. • Appropriate practices are those that establish streamside vegetation, increase vegetative cover, increase infiltration and subsurface flow, maintain base flow, and reduce erosion. • Turbid water absorbs more solar radiation than clear; therefore, erosion control in watersheds can help in reducing thermal pollution. • Flow releases from cooler strata of reservoirs must be exercised with caution. Although cooler, water from this source is generally low in dissolved oxygen and must be aerated before discharging downstream. Selective mixing of the reservoir withdrawal can moderate temperature as may be required. • There might be opportunities in irrigated areas to cool return flows prior to discharge to streams.
