Providing the proper bicycle parking not only accommodates the bicyclist, but also can help to discourage improper bike parking which can cause problems such as blocking sidewalks or interfering with handrails. Therefore, the building's design should provide the necessary visual clues to tell the bicyclist where to park. Bike parking should 6e located in well lit convenient locations- with adequate surveillance. • Consolidation of bicycle parking is encouraged. • Bicycle parking in the front of the building is encouraged. However, where this is not possible, the side or rear of the building maybe used. • Parking should be located in visible and easily accessible locations. • If a building has access to a street that is designated as a bike lane or route on the Bikeway Master Plan, bicycle parking should be located along these streets. (see map Appendix B) _- • Placing bicycle parking near building entrances with adequate surveillance from building occupants and visitors is encouraged. Bicycle Racks should be compatible with the character of the street • The bicycle rack below has been approved by the Northgate Revitilization Board and its use is strongly encouraged. • Muted colors are encouraged Acceptable colors include bronze, maroon, and dark green. • Other designs and colors maybe considered by the Northgate Revitalization Board. 'Ibis rack allows cyclists to attach their bicycle on either side of the rack and has been approved by the Northgate Revitalization Board. Northgate Design Guidelines Where bicycle parking is not clearly visible, appropriate signage is encouraged. • A directional sign indicating where bicycle parking can be found is encouraged, especially where the parking is not clearly visible. • Where it is necessary to place a sign prohibiting bicycle parking, an additional sign indicating where parking can be found is encouraged. it i~ M N w M t w Northgate Design Guidelines 12 08/15/00 07:54 '$`979 764 3496 DEVELOPMENT SVCS ~ 0O1 ~c~c~c ACTIVITY REPORT x~~~ x~~x~~x~~x:x~*~:x*x:~x~~:x~~~~~~~~~:~~c TRANS141I S S I ON OK TX/RY N0. 3649 CONNECTION TEL 98468224 CONNECTION ID START TIME 08/15 07:48 USAGE TIME 06'22 PAGES 6 RESULT OK DEVELOPMENT SERVICES TRANSMITTAL LETTER Name/Firm: ~~ Seca-c/%Zc •4s•k~ "~4,r S~•o, ~~~ Date: / Z- -~v~c, C'y Address: rte'// ~/.~,'yt.-s, ~- -~~ ~. , She..

The numbers listed below correspond with the review comment numbers. 1. The existing curb cuts are shown on drawings Al, Site Demolition Plan, as submitted with the site plan package. 2. Please either provide us with the proposed location of the sidewalk the Lutheran Church is putting in or have the Lutheran Church tie into our sidewalk. 3. Recorded easements do not exist between the property lines that split the site. 4. The top of the parapet at the roof parking level is 35'-6" above the datum point. The top of the roof at the stair towers (2) is 48'-3" above the datum point. This is shown on revised drawing A2. 5. The typical parking spaces are 9'-0" wide x 18'-0" deep (including a maximum 2'-0" overhang). Overall dimension string is shown on revised drawing A2. 6. There are 4 handicap parking spaces on each level. Two located adjacent to each stair tower on each level (total of 16). Two spaces on the first floor are designated as van accessible. The State Accessibility Review is requiring us to locate one accessible space adjacent to the Police Sub-station. In order to make this revision, we will have to eliminate two small car spaces. This is shown on revised drawing A2. 7. The distance between existing and proposed driveways is shown on drawing A2 along College Main. We do not know where the dormitory will locate their driveways on Second Street. The distance from the parking garage driveway on Second Street to the adjacent driveway is 94'-4" (curb cut to curb cut). This is shown on revised drawing A2. 8. The driveway throat length from parking gate to back of curb is 30'-0" at Second Street and 40'-0" minimum at College Main. This is shown on revised drawing A2. . 9. The ticket dispensers are operated by a push button (push the button and take ticket). There is 40'-0" at College Main and 30'-0" at Second Street. There should be enough room for two cars at College Main. Second Street will allow for several cars to stage depending on what the extent of the improvements are to be done by the City at Second Street. This is shown on revised drawing A2. 10. All meters and transformers are located on the site (City property). 11. Unmarked line is a telephone line. This will be relocated by the telephone company. The line is marked on revised drawing A2. 12. The appropriate utility companies will terminate the overhead utility lines. The utilities will stop at the power pole. The electrical service is being supplied from a new transformer, west of Second Street. 13. The landscape plan is corrected on the revised landscape drawing L1. Note that a sidewalk is being proposed from College Main to Second Street on the South elevation of the building. This will eliminate all proposed landscaping in this area, but will still maintain the landscape points above the minimum required points. 14. Caliper sizes will be shown for the trees in lieu of gallon sizes. 15. Trees are relocated on the revised landscape drawing Ll. 16. The detention pond as shown does not have any hard surfaces except for the center 4 feet of width. The sides have a gentle slope and should not require screening. This will allow spark-like setting. The detention pond may be revised to have vertical walls. The vertical wall will be decorative split faced concrete block. If this is the case, we will provide a 3'-6" high decorative wrought iron fence around the perimeter. ~'lt~~L~+L<; 17. Meters and transformers are shown on the revised landscape drawing L1. The meters are below grade. The transformer is screened as shown on the revised landscape drawing. 18. Improvements were not shown along this edge of the Second Street. This will allow the City to make improvements to Second Street without having to remove any new work. 19. There is one light fixture on Second Street. It is shown on other drawings and will be shown on drawing A2. Conduit stub for power to future lights along Second Street is shown on other drawings in the set and is shown on revised drawing A2. 20. The hatch marks on drawings C2 represent the outline of the building. 21. Drainage report has been submitted after Engineering Review was completed. 22. Two water meters will be shown on drawing A2 along with required check valves. Irrigation demands will also be shown on this drawing. 23. The building will have a wet standpipe sprinkler system. The 2" domestic supply line will keep all of the sprinkler pipes full of water but it will not be under pressure. There is a fire department connection adjacent to the east stair tower (shown on drawing A2). This is where the fire department will make the connection to the building and will pressurize the sprinkler lines in the event of a fire. 24. The 6" PVC drain pipe does drain the swale along the east side of the building. However, it does not penetrate the curb but rather drains into a landscape area. This may change pending approval of a sidewalk as described in item #13 above. Should you have any questions, please feel free to call me. Sincerely, Michael S.

Because the referenced projects are larger, they reflect an economy of scale that will not be reflected in the cost of the College Main Parking Garage. Therefore, a factor of 1.15 has been applied to the highest cost per square foot. Also, a factor of 1.05 is applied to update the cost data to today's pricing. The results are tabulated as follows: Name Ca acity Cost/S ace S.F./S ace Cost/S.F. Size S.F. Estimated Cost College Main 753 $ 6, 991 322 $ 21.75 242,048 $5,264,544 College Station OTHER INFORMATION The estimated cost of the West Campus Garage for Texas A&M University (over 675,000 s.f.) is $21 per square foot . Adjusting this cost to reflect the reduced size of the College Main Parking Garage yields a projection of $23.10 per square foot. According to Means Construction Cost Data the median cost per square foot of parking garages nationwide is $29.95, based on a facility of 163,000 square feet. Adjusting for the reduced size and a location factor, the cost for the College Main Parking Garage would be $28.50 per square foot. r n i~ i~ OUTLINE SPECIFICATIONS U U'1'L1N r: SYl:(:1l+'1(:A'1'lUN 5 Page 1 DIVISION 1: GENERAL REQUIREMENTS SECTION 01010 -SUMMARY OF WORK 1.01 THE PROJECT A.

Garaae schedule From: Jim Callaway To: Mark Smith; Tom Brymer Date: 7/2/01 2:06PM Subject: Re: Parking Garage schedule We can do conditional CO's. In general, we look for two things: '~~` / ~-ll ~ r 1. Are all the health/safety aspects of the code met. The building staff and fire staff have to approve what is there as meeting codes. Sprinklers, exit signs & lights, alarms, etc. have to be in and accepted. 2. There has to be some financial assurance that the City won't be left holding the bag for any of the improvements, especially the off-site stuff. That's not a problem here, since the City is already holding the bag for everything. We prefer not to give CO's where drainage improvements are not complete. However, there are two points to consider: 1. The garage will have the same amount of runoff with or without a CO and/or cars. 2. The City, including the same department responsible for drainage, is responsible for completing the drainage improvements anyway. So, be sure to be on top of the health and safety issues- we would be glad to provide you with apre-final inspection if you request. »> Tom Brymer 07/02/01 12:49PM »> I don't have a problem as long as we can do what you're suggesting- the conditional CO. What say you Jim Callaway? Tom Brymer City Manager City of College Station P. O. Box 9960 College Station, TX 77842 www.ci.colleae-station.tx.us Office 979/764-3510 Fax 979/764-6377 »> Mark Smith 07/02/01 12:03PM »> I just got a fax from Arkitex Studio. Vaughn Construction is asking for a time extension on the parking garage. The reason for the request is that their planned excavation of the detention pond area has been delayed due to a conflict with an underground electrical line. The line was routed 12' to the north of the garage structure and the edge of the detention pond was to be 10' from the garage. This electrical line was install ~:! after the plans for the garage were complete and the garage was under construction. The extension is needed to resolve the issues related to that conflict, complete the detention pond and follow that with landscaping & irrigation. Vaughn is asking for an extension of 26 days making the completion date August 29. Vaughn is aware that we need to have the garage open when classes start on August 27 and they propose that the garage will be ready for use on the 26th if we can grant a conditional CO allowing for the landscaping & irrigation to be completed after occupancy. .~ Bridgette George - Re: Parking Garage schedule T Page 2 '',. I plan to grant the extension and work with Vaughn to get the garage in operation ASAP. Vaughn has been excellent in their performance to date and this conflict and the resulting delay is certainly not their fault.

Our response follows. Building Size - I concur with the comments made by Angus Chin relative to the parking geometry for the College Main garage. There are three parameters to be considered in arriving at the basic parking geometry in a garage. These are stall width, modular width, and angle of parking. Stall width is a function of the overall car width plus an acceptable allowance for door opening to permit entering and leaving the vehicle. The modular width is the wall-to-wall or effective width dimensions occupied by two rows of parked vehicles and the intervening central access aisle. In the design for optimum space efficiency of parking, the modular width is interrelated with the third parameter, the angle of parking. The relationship between parking angle and modular width is derived from the width of aisle necessary to conveniently turn a vehicle into a parking stall. The greater the parking angle, the wider the aisle must be. To a lesser extent, modular width is also governed by parking stall width. For a given angle, modular width may be reduced somewhat if the parking stalls are wider. In the early `80s, this firm assisted the City of Dallas in the development of their parking design standards for the Dallas Development Code. An excerpt from the Code which contains the parking standards is attached. These standards have been used in the design of thousands of parking spaces in all areas of the city over the past 15 years. You will note that the parking dimensions associated with 90 degree parking require an aisle width of 24 feet for an eight-and-one-half-foot wide parking space and 22 feet for anine- foot parking space. I have a great deal of confidence in these parking standards and have used them on projects throughout the country. Therefore, the overall building width can be reduced by eight feet in order to create sufficient room around the parameter to allow space for construction. Mr. Chad Grauke, AIA January 12, 1998 Page 2 • Parking Space Dimensions - The Dallas design standards have been used in establishing the parking geometry for the College Main garage. A comparison of the Dallas design standards with several recent Texas A&M University garages and the planned College main garage is presented below. COMPARISON OF DESIGN STANDARDS FOR PARKING GARAGES FACILITY MODULE WIDTH PARKING ANGLE STALL WIDTH University Center 58.33 feet 65 ° 8.5 feet Library 56.83 feet 65 ° 8.5 feet South Side 55.33 feet 65 ° 8.6 feet West Campus 55.33 feet 65 ° 8.6 feet Dallas Standards 56.3 feet 65 ° 8. S feet Dallas Standards S5. S feet 65 ° 9.0 feet College Main 58.0 feet 90 ° 9.0 feet Dallas Standards 58.00 feet 90 ° 9.0 feet The design standards for the University Center and Library garages are more generous than the Dallas design standards; whereas those for the south side and planned West Campus garages are slightly less than the Dallas design standards. The proposed parking geometry for the College main garage is identical to the requirements of the Dallas Development Code. • Parking Control Plaza - The number of lanes in the parking control plaza has been reduced from four to three. One lane would be available for ingress, one lane for egress, and the center lane would be a reversible lane designed to accommodate the major movement. The width of the access lane is proposed to be ten feet. Access lanes are usually nine and a half to ten feet wide. The two major manufacturers of parking control equipment differ on this subject. Federal APD recommends 9.5 feet whereas Amano Cincinnati recommends ten feet. Specifications from these two manufacturers are attached. The attached capacity and queuing analysis indicates that the three-lane access plaza can accommodate the projected demands of the facility. It also indicates that the queue space between the gate and the curb, as well as that within the structure, is adequate to accommodate the peak ingress and egress movements. Exit onto Secnnd Street -Our analysis indicates that the proposed access drive off of College Main can accommodate both the peak inbound and outbound movements via College Main at a good level of traffic service. The single point of egress will simplify the cashiering system for the planned facility and will save approximately $75,000 in garage construction and parking control equipment expense. Also, the recommended access design Mr. Chad Grauke, AIA January 12, 1998 Page 3 via College Main will eliminate the need to improve Second Street adjacent to the parking garage. This will result in a savings of approximately $20,000. • Parking Management and Control System -See attached. • Handicap Parking - We believe that the distribution of handicap spaces adjacent to the elevators is an appropriate method of accommodating the accessible parking requirements. This strategy provides sixteen (16) accessible spaces, two of which are for vans. Since both van spaces are located on the ground level of the garage, only the ground level would be affected by the clearance height requirement. This additional one-foot clearance has been accommodated in the design of the ramp slope from the ground level to Level 2. • Total Parking Spaces - Two revised candidate parking schemes are provided which reflect the smaller floor plate. Alternative A provides 728 spaces of which 72 (9.9 percent) are for small vehicles. Alternative B provides for 747 vehicles of which 69 (9.2 percent) are for small vehicles. The additional vehicles are provided on a partial ramp which slopes down from Level 1. The parking efficiency of both designs is very good at 304 square feet per space. • Code Issue -Above-grade, open parking garages are normally not sprinkled. None of the garages on the Texas A&M campus is sprinkled. I cannot recall ever encountering a requirement to sprinkle an open, above-grade parking garage. I will be pleased to address any questions which you may have concerning these items. Sincerely, DeSHAZO, TANG ASSOCIATES, INC. . DeShazo, Jr., P.E.

The same delay at each of a series of traffic signals would be more frustrating and less acceptable. Table 3-4 displays the definition of acceptable delay for each LOS, and the associated average queue. The design queue (maximum expected with 90% probability) would be substantially longer. For example, an exit area with two card-controlled gates each having average queues of 6.66 vehicles (LOS D) would have design que>ies of 16 vehicles each. Two cashiered controlled exit gates with LOS D would each have average queues of 2.4 vehicles and design queues of approximately six vehicles. This approach therefore takes into account the fact that some transac- tions are considerably slower than others, such as a variable fee paid to a cashier versos a card reader. W11ile the length of the line does Have some psychological impact, the critical factor to user acceptability is the delay time. As with other traffic and parking conditions, the acceptable LOS at a facility's entrance/exit depends on the type of user. However, it should be noted that one user type does not require the same LOS at every point in the facility. As discussed in Chapter 2, short-term visitor park- ing design should have a higher LOS (typically B) than employee area (typically C), because of the frequency of turnover and the lack of patron familiarity with the design. At entry/exits, regular monthly parkers ACCESS DESIGN 10~ demand a higher LOS than less frequent users. Users who encounter the same delay day after day are more likely to complain or choose a facility wit11 a better LOS. Employees or monthly card holders generally want LOS A, but will accept B. More irregular users such as shoppers will accept LOS C or B. There are relatively few cases where LOS D is acceptable, unless it occurs on a very infrequent basis such as at a parking facility under special-event conditions. Even then, the season ticket holder will find and regularly use a facility with a faster exit time, while the single-game attendee will accept a longer delay. The urban environment also plays a role. If the facility is located in a con- gested, downtown area, longer q>>e>.ies will be tolerated than in a rural setting where the driver waiting in line can see an almost empty street j>ist outside the facility. 3.4.4 Entry/Exit Layout When the type of PARC equipment and the number of lanes are known, entry/exit layouts are fairly roritine. Typical entry lanes are shown in Fig>ire 3-11. The config>iration of "card only" lanes is the same at both entry and exit. At entry lanes, ticket dispensers may be placed just before or after card readers. In this config>iration, the patron must press a button on the machine to dispense a ticket. When space is available to separate the dispenser and the card reader, a detector loop in the floor can sense a vehicle approaching the dispenser and "spit" the ticket before the vehicle even comes to a fiill stop. "Auto-spit" ticket dispensers therefore are faster, as well as less confiising to unfamiliar patrons. The card reader must be placed at least 10' in front of the ticket dispenser so that the vehicle stopping at the card reader does not activate the auto-spit function of the ticket dispenser. If the vehicle has used the card reader before reaching the ticket dispenser, the auto-spit function is bypassed. A similar bypass control is used when cash and card custom- ers use the same exit lane, but separation of equipment is not required. "Reversible" lanes, which serve as entry lanes in the morning and exit lanes in the evening, can be very space efficient when peak hour volumes are predominantly one-way. Reversible lanes are less confris- ing ifthey are monthly Only, but ~-vilh proper signage they can be cashier equipped as well. Cashier lane layout has been significantly impacted by the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). Although the requirements are discussed in more detail in Chapter 7, it is helpful to repeat one critical and most often misunderstood requirement Here. Under ADA, everycashier booth must be accessible to and through the door. This means that the booth '~ .j
