Just anote- The cobtractor has constructed the sidewalk on TxDOT R.O.W. and it appears they didn't
follow ADA regs. As far as-I know they don't have a permit to construct this walk yet. Could someone
get me a copy of the permit and I will inform the contractor about the ramp. Since this project doesn't
have a description of tMe work involved I'm going off our general specs. Thanks!

Dear Mr. Ross,
Per our discussion yesterday you asked the following questions:
uestion:
Can your employees park on the existing "flat" slabs located on the remainder of Lot 2 of the
I,odgeco Subdivision until May 1999?
Answer:
Yes, because it has been used as a parking area in the past. However, we would require that in
doing so you:.
1. Screen the parking from Texas Avenue using vegetation or other means as outlined in the
City of College.. Station Zoning Ordinance. Section 11.3. Please submit a plan for review
and approval by City Staff prior to planting.
2. Construct the sidewalk along- Texas .Avenue as required per the platting of the property to
the City of College Station standards.. Please submit plans for review and approval by
City Staff prior to construction.
3. Cease the use of the area as an overflow parking area after May 1999 or bring the facility
up to full City standards.
uestion:
Can you proceed with the construction of the 58 space parking lot off Meadowland without benefit
of permit'' or plan review?
Answer:
Yes, but by doing so you will. be proceeding at your own risk. It is with the understanding that you
will submit the completed site plan, landscape plan and drainage report by Noon on Wednesday,
August 12, 1998. It is also with the understanding that you will meet all City codes/ordinances
with the ultimate design and constructed product. As we discussed in the meeting this may mean
that your ultimate cost maybe greater in the long run. You may have to detain off-site on the
remainder of the property near Texas Avenue or you may have to remove and reports portions of .~
the parking lot to meet all ordinances. We do require that you complete a Development Permit
Home of Texas A&M University
Application, pay the $100 fee assxiated with that permit, provide erosion control on site in terms
of silt fencing. or hay bales to prevent silt migration off--site and sign a conditional permit we will
issue stating all construction is proceeding "at the owner's risk".
uestion:
Can you make any modifications to the parking lot (if necessary) during the Christmas holidays?
Answer:
Yes, we will allow you to defer the demolition repaving of the parking lot until December
1998/January 1999 while the students are away on break if this becomes necessary.
uestion:
Is there anyway to expedite the review process?
Answer:
Perhaps. Once your Engineer can confirm the date he will be finished and submit all necessary
dxuments, we could ask if there are any employees willing to work "after hours" to complete the
review. A fee for this. review would be required to be paid by the owner. This fee is typically 2
times the employees hourly rate on weekday evenings. Please call Shirley Volk to coordinate this
res~iew at 764-3570.
I hope.. this has answered all of your questions, If you need clarification or have additional
questions, please call. I can. be reached at 764-3570. Please have someone come by immediately
to fill out the application, pay the fee and sign the "conditional" permit.
