Re: 1019-001, College Station Independent School District Drainage Study Reflecting Impact of Installation of Temporary Buildings Veronica, C~C~D~JG AIN igss D. At the request of the College Station Independent School District, we have reviewed the drainage studies prepared for the City of College Station to check any impact created by the installation of temporary buildings, as reflected on the site plans included, to the water surface elevations in the tributaries adjacent and as to any upstream or downstream impact. The sites are: Exhibit A College Station Jr. High Exhibit B College Hills Elementary Exhibit C Pebble Creek Elementary Exhibit D A & M Consolidated High School Since the maximum run off from the temporary buildings, using two as a criteria, is less than 1 cfs, we can state that no rise in water surface will be noticeable and probably beyond computation. All of the drainage studies prepared over the years, for the referenced school sites which the City has copies of, are for all design frequencies and have 1 foot of freeboard available. Each location in question discharges into a major tributary or a chain of detention facilities, therefore it is our opinion that no downstream or upstream impact or noticeable rise in water surface elevation will occur.

Lamar Blvd. • Suite 200 • Arlington, Texas 76011 817/548-0696 • Metro 265-8836 • Fax 817/265-8532 All buildings will have covered porches with ADA quality access ramps including an accessible sidewalk access to each building. Handrails will be provided in conformance with ADA requirements. The fire alarms will be equipped with both audio and visual alarms. A copy of Cheatham & Associates' letter and site plans for each school is forwarded herewith. Their evaluation of the effect of the relocation of these buildings as shown appears to have minimal effect on respective rising water surface elevations. The location of the building at College Hills encroaches upon the utility easement behind the multi-purpose building. We feel this encroachment is minor and provides ample space for maintenance of the utility lines. Should it become necessary to move this building in the future for maintenance of this line, the school district will cooperate fully. All of these buildings are temporary. At this time we anticipate the junior high school building to be in use until the opening of A & M Consolidated Middle School in August 2000. The buildings at Pebble Creek Elementary and College Hills Elementary are for potential peak student enrollment between now and 2003 when we anticipate opening Forrest Ridge Elementary School, our next elementary school. The building located at the athletic office is anticipated to be a permanent facility and will be replaced in the future only when we fund a project to increase the field house facilities. Please call me if there are any questions. I can be available for a hearing should it be necessary. Thank you for your assistance in this issue. Yours truly, J.

We will no longer need these building and plan to move these buildings to the following schools: College Hills Elementary School 1101 Williams College Station Junior High School 900 Rock Prairie Road Pebble Creek Elementary School 200 Parkview Athletic Office 2118 Welsh 1 - 24'x 64' Double Classroom Building 1 - 24'x 64' Double Classroom Building 2 - 24'x 64' Double Classroom Buildings 1 - 24'x 64' Double Classroom Building All of the above buildings are to be connected with electrical power, telephone, technology, video fire alarms, school communication and security where available. The building at the junior high school, 900 Rock Prairie Road, will require a change in City transformer voltage rating and the building at College Hills will connect directly to an existing City pad mount transformer for service. All other utilities and services mentioned will be extensions of existing services that are currently in service at each location and will not require additional utilities from the City, telephone company, cable vision, etc. There will be no need of water, sewer or gas services for any of these buildings.

For all sites, show floodway and floodplain. If there is none, then state that and reference the applicable FEMA map. If a building is to be within the floodplain, then show finished floor elevation. 3. For each site, state whether the building will be raised or at grade. If at grade, we will need grading information. 4. It appears that in some instances the building separation will be less than 15 feet. Coordinate with Building Official to determine the additional requirements for separation distances of < 15 feet. 5. The College Hills Elementary Site shows the portable building encroaching into a utility easement. We cannot allow that unless a license to encroach has been granted. Reviewed by: Jessica Jimmerson staff Review Comments pw i of 1 0022/88 STAFF REVIEW COMMENTS No. 2 Project: CSISD Portable Buildings 1. The addition of the portable buildings to the existing school sites is not considered a significant change and will not require new conditional use permits. 2. The site plans and information submitted were only reviewed in regards to the proposed changes. 3. The building department has been notified that the proposed building placements may have less than 15 feet of separation distance and will be looking for necessary fire compliance. 4. Pebble Creek Elementary and College Station Jr. High are approved at this time. 5. The Site Plan for the A&M Consolidated High School Athletics Facility requires an elevation certificate. The elevation certificate will be issued based upon the regulatory floodplain at the time of permitting. The Morrison Hydrology Study has not been submitted to FEMA at this time.

A local general contractor will be contracted to construct install underpinning, a covered porch, access ramp connected to existing sidewalks and provide the necessary handrails, etc. required for TAS and ADA accessible facilities. An electrical contractor will connect and energize electrical service to this building, install and extend services from existing fire alarms, telephones, school intercommunication system, technology wiring for computer and video education devices. Electrical service is proposed to be supplied from the metered bus between the Kindergarten and Cafeteria buildings. We have reviewed this with the City of College Station Public Utility Department. The above requirements have been reviewed with the City Building Official and Fire Department for their familiarization only. Their final approval will be secured along with the respective moving, building and occupancy permits.

We received the corrected site plan (2 copies attached) and found that the proposed separation of 16 feet between buildings was omitted. We have marked the drawing to indicate the 16" separation. We regret this omission and are requesting that Cheatham & Associates forward another set of drawings including this dimension. As soon as the corrected drawing arrives we will forward two copies to you. Any consideration toward issuing a Conditional Use Permit for this building based upon this letter and marked drawing will be appreciated. This building is needed for start of school. If we do not have it in place and ready for use our only recourse is to bus students to two classrooms which will be very disruptive.
