Your extension is granted through June 20, 2000. I understand from your letter that there will be an interim period where there will be no construction activity during the spring of 2001. As long as the construction activity for the project starts during this next six -month extension period, there is no problem with the schedule you have indicated. I have also spoken with Lance Simms, the Building Official regarding this schedule. Technically the Building Code calls for a permit to expire if work is not done for a six - month period. However, under the circumstances, Mr. Simms has no problem with your schedule either. I will forward a copy of your letter to him for the permit file. If you have any questions or need any assistance during this project please do hesitate to call. Have a safe and happy holiday season. Sincerely, , J ne R. Kee, AICP City Planner Cc: Lance Simms, Building Official Home of Texas A &M University SAINT THOMAS EPISCOPAL CHURCH, COLLEGE STATION BUILDING IMPLEMENTATION COMMITTEE 906 George Bush Drive, College Station, Texas 77840 15 December 1999 Jane Kee City Planner City of College Station 1101 Texas Avenue College Station, Texas 77840 Dear Ms. Kee: RE: Conditional Use Permit (99 -700) January 21, 1999 At the Planning and Zoning Board meeting on 21 January 1999, Saint Thomas Episcopal Church received approval for an addition to the church buildings at 906 George Bush Drive. The conditions included proper provision for rainwater collection, particularly along the east boundary (adjacent to the Vessali property), limitation of the ridge height to 35 feet above the generally existing grade, and proper maintenance of fences along the church property. Architect Chartier Newton, FAIA, of Austin, is completing designs that follow the approved Site Plan, and met with City Building Officials on 8 December 1999 to finalize code issues prior to submitting the drawings for issuance of a Building Permit. A negotiated contract and preliminary bids will be developed in early spring 2000. Since the first part of the building program will be adjacent to the day- school facility on the Saint Thomas site, it is the intention of Parish to delay the start of construction until the end of the school year, on or about 22 May 2000. This letter is a formal Request for a Six -Month Extension of the Conditional Use Permit issued on 21 January 1999. As Chair of the Building Implementation Committee, I will be pleased to respond to any questions you may have. Otherwise, we will anticipate that the extension will be granted automatically, and that the new expiry date will be 20 June 2000. I assume that we will receive written notification of the Extension of CUP 99 -700. You will be aware that the Site Plan approved under CUP 99 -700 includes a Classroom Building and a Parish Hall. Once the next Classroom is complete, estimated for December 2000, we will move the classes from older buildings and demolish them and the old parish hall facility to make way for the new Parish Hall. We are again faced with the need to delay this work until the day school completes its 2000 -2001 academic year. We anticipate that work will start on demolition on or about 22 May 2001. It is our understanding that a CUP covers work that is begun within twelve months, plus a six -month extension based on a written request, and that the project is intended to be completed in a continuous work program. Please can you advise what steps we might take to accommodate the City's normal expectations, without placing the young people who use the church facilities in danger. A start date of 22 May 2001 will allow for all demolition and heavy construction to be finished during the summer months, leaving only the finishing trades for Fall 2001. Thank you for your consideration of this matter. I look forward to hearing from you on the six -month extension in near future. Sincerely, David G. Woodcock Chair Cc: Benjamin K.

I also own the vacant lot (IA) at the corner of Pershing Avenue and George Bush drive, plus the rental properties next door known as 104/106 Pershing Avenue. Within the past six years the church has already undergone considerable expansion. Big buildings, and large ugly parking lot, has resulted in us enduring increased traffic in a neighborhood considered residential. In six years, what used to be a quaint neighborhood church surrounded by nice greenery is now nothing but big brick buildings with a large concrete parking lot in the middle. I am very concerned about drainage (there are already problems). We used to have only one transformer on the electric pole in the backyard, now that pole has three large transformers. I am concerned that more construction will compound the problem. I am very concerned about the school enrollment of over 130 (one hundred thirty) which plans to expand yet further. For the above reasons, and the adverse effect that the expansions will have on the value of my property, I would like to go on record as being opposed to the above proposed expansion. We have begun a series of meetings with the city of College Station Planning and Zoning Staff to explore the possibility of creating an Historic Residential Overlay Zone. And yet on the other hand, a non residential facility invades the neighborhood and is allowed to grow. Is it because they are a church under the non profit organization umbrella that they have the right to expand their business? For a school is a business. When can we say to the church that enough is enough; that now you are going too far; that you are affecting the sheer fabric of a residential neighborhood and you need to look elsewhere for your growth needs? Saint Michael's Academy has an established campus, is ten minutes away and is also an Episcopal School and is more than equipped to handle new students. r c? L January 18, 1999 To: Planning and Zoning Division City of College Station, Texas Re: Expansion at St. Thomas Episcopal Church 906 George Bush Drive I, the undersigned, Frankie Sanders, owner and resident of the property located at 200 Suffolk Avenue in College Station am very apprehensive about the planned expansion of the Parish Hall of the St. Thomas Episcopal Church. In reply to your notice of January 8, 1999, I would like to go on record as opposed to this expansion for the following reasons: 1. This two -story expansion would bring in more people which would make more noise. The conditions already are very loud and noisy. _ 2. When the original expansion was proposed and passed the drainage was supposed to be fixed behind my home. Nothing has ever been done to fix this problem and with more building this problem will only become worse. 3. This is the only "Historical Area" in College Station and this expansion will detract from the entire area. Another concern is the decreased value of my property. If this proposal passes despite our strong objections, there are several things that must be done. 1. Build a masonry wall around the Parish buildings to muffle the loud noises in the neighborhood. 2. The drainage problems must be corrected. Currently the water runs under the current fence and goes under my home causing damage to the foundation. The water has also eroded the sand under my patio bricks making it unusable. I cannot even use the entrance into the house from the patio. Frankie A. Sanders 200 Suffolk Avenue College Station, Texas 77840 (409)696 -5990 January 17, 1999 TO: Planning and Zoning Division City of College Station, Texas RE: Expansion at St. Thomas Episcopal Church 906 George Bush Drive I, the undersigned Ohannes Eknoyan owner and resident of the property at 202 Suffolk Avenue in College Station, am very much concerned about the planned expansion of the Parish Hall at St. Thomas Episcopal Church for the following reasons: 1. Rise in noise level as attendance and activities increase. 2. Spread of activities to late hours, and sporadic weekends noisy functions. 3. Rain water drainage problems. 4. Parking and traffic congestion. If the Planning and Zoning Commission decides to issue a permit for the proposed expansion, I urge that the members of the commission give serious consideration to these factors and grant a permit on the condition that these issues are dealt with properly. For example: • A noise barrier wall be constructed around the Church property adjacent to residential areas. • No late hours functions and activities. • Proper sloping of the grounds for rain water drainage, and the addition of plants and shrubs at an elevated level from the main ground along the peripheries that separates the Church property from residential areas. • Enforce strict parking regulations. Thank you for your considerations.

I believe they conform to the requirements which were discussed at the meeting with other staff members at your offices on Tuesday, November 17, 1998. For the reviewers' convenience, I have marked on the application checklist the items, which are existing (previously approved), or which are not applicable. Since there are only a few trees which must be removed, the tree point computation shows the number of points previously approved and installed, the number removed, and the number of new trees for all of the firture phases. I hope that this is acceptable. The impervious cover numbers are as follows: Total site area: Building Coverage: Walks, drives, and miscellaneous Total impervious cover: 124,407 sq. ft. (2.86 acres) 25,668 sq. ft. 47,177 sq. ft. 72,845 sq. ft. Area in the S.E. corner which does not drain into the existing detention pond: 20,127 sq. ft. (441 acres). Impervious cover within the S.E. corner area: 3,750 sq. ft. (086 acres) The percent impervious cover within the S.E. corner area: 18.63% Since the Owner has already scheduled a fund raising effort for this project, it is our hope to get this to the Planning and Zoning Commission at their meeting on Thursday, January 21, 1999.
