College Station, TX 77845 Dear Ms. Austin: Thank you for notifying the City regarding damage to the fence behind SourceNet. A city inspector was sent out to assess the situation and observed the conditions you described. Our offices subsequently contacted the contractor, C. F. Jordan. Representatives of C.F. Jordan have indicated that the work that has been done is only a short term fix and they are working with the design engineer to develop a permanent solution to the problem. It is also our understanding that the portion of the SourceNet masonry fence that was falling onto the wooden fence has been moved. In regard to your question regarding upkeep and safety /liability of the fence, SourceNet is the owner of the fence and is responsible for any activity related to it. Staff is checking on your question as to whether additional landscaping will be planted. SourceNet posted a bond with the City in order to delay installation of the landscaping for up to four months in order to plant at a time when the plants will have a better chance of survival. The building has not received a final Certificate of Occupancy. Final C.O. approval is contingent upon SourceNet notifying the City that all landscaping has been installed. After notification, the City will inspect the project for compliance with the landscape plan. Please feel free to contact Kim Foutz at 764 -3753 should you have any questions or additional comments.

Box 9960 College Station, TX 77842 Dear Mr. Brymer & Mrs. Foutz; MAY 10 2DD5 CITY OF C OLLEGE I am following up on the subject of landscaping that was to be done by the owners of the SourceNet building on Quality Circle which adjoins our backyard. Enclosed are copies of communications from your offices in 2002 that state that buffer landscaping should be "a minimum of one 5- gallon shrub at a minimum of 3 feet in height per 3 linear feet ". Some trees have been planted but an addition of shrubs along the fence (that will grow taller than the fence) are definitely necessary for more protection of the privacy of my home and the other three yards that border the rear parking lot. Recently, by chance I tuned into the College Station planning and zoning meeting in which the change of R1 zoned property to C1 zoning that adjoins Pebble Creek subdivision was being discussed. I wasn't too shocked when photos of our back yard were used by one homeowner to show the ill effects of CIzoning when it adjoins residential property. We do have the worst possible scenario regarding a developer's zoning blunder. Please help us to improve our quality of life and that of our neighborhood by enforcing the completion of the landscaping requirements laid out in the buffer ordinance. Thank you, Melinda Austin Apple Valley Ct.

Since the informational meeting the City held with the neighborhood and the subsequent neighborhood sponsored meeting, I've been waiting to meet with the developer who has been out of town. The site plan initially submitted was reviewed and staff comments sent to the developer and his architect. The only permit issued thus far has been for site development. City staff met yesterday with the developer to review concerns raised to date. The developer has proposed certain revisions to the site plan and we're waiting for a revised site plan to be submitted with those changes. I think the neighborhood will like most of the changes, however, I do not want to mislead anyone and indicate that everything the neighborhood would like will be provided. The biggest change will be a approx. 45 foot setback on the rear, screening shrubs around rear parking, and emphasis on as in -direc lighting as possible that still achieves security. With those site plan revisions, we anticipate that we will b� issuing a building permit. City staff is setting up a meeting for next Weds. March 6th with the neighborhood to go over the revisionsto the site plan. You will be getting a letter in the next few da s advising of the meeting. Again, while we think we have a project that will be very did try to call Pebblecreek HOA President voice mail message for him to call me. Thanks for your patience.as we work Foutz know if you have any questions. Ted, ]Srymer City Manager City of College Station P. O.

I mentioned in that email that I believed some of these changes would be things you would like, but that I did not want to misrepresent that you would like all of them. Some of the things I thought you would like include the developer creating a 45 food rear setback, putting screening shrubs around his parking lot, and working with us to develop a lighting plan that is as in- direct as possible while achieving security. However, the developer has the option to place all their on -site parking on their property if they choose to (as opposed to a shared parking agreement with UCS across the street). That is what they've chosen to do, although as I mentioned, the developer has agreed to screen the entire parking lot with red tip photenia (or some other fast growing shrubbery). Further, it is my understanding that some of the trees you feel will be removed may be saved with some islands in the parking lot. Finally, regarding the delivery drive, this office building is going to be a day time operation, the type of trucks that would make deliveries would be for mail or food for the employee cafeteria. The building's delivery dock is not sized for large trucks (18 wheelers). Tom Brymer City Manager City of College Station P. O.

I understand that more trees in the 0.77acre "Protected" will be cut down for the increased size of the parking lot.Are you aware of this? THere will be an amplification of sound from the parking lot which borders very closely on four backyards and will be surrounded by a concrete wall. There needs to be some more research and communication with the owner of USC before more trees are destroyed. I feel Our neighborhood is being destroyed as well.You may have noticed from several letters to the editor of the Eagle and the many inquiries from citizens there is alot of unrest about what this is doing to our neighborhood. Please advise me if anything can be done to prevent this hideous occurance. Mindy Austin 1 COLLEGE STATION R O.

The following brief overview is intended to help clarify how to calculate the landscaping requirements for this site. Please refer to the Zoning Ordinance and the Covenants and Restrictions for a complete picture of the requirements. Once the necessary calculations are done then we can address how the proposed and existing plantings will meet the requirements and how best to reflect this in the plant list. Zoning Ordinance Site (Section 11) A. Total site area of phase one as shown on site plan less the buffer area divided by 1000 = x 30 points = total site area points. Streetscaping (Section 11) B. Total linear feet of frontage of phase one less driveways and visual triangles = LF. C. LF divided by 32 = # of trees required within 50 ft of ROW. D. LF divided by 50 = x 300 = additional streetscaping points which usually may be distributed throughout the site. E. Total site area points + add'I streetscaping points = total landscaping points Buffer Area (Section E. 10) Buffer will need to be installed along full length of property. F. Requires one canopy tree for every 25 LF and one shrub for every 3 LF. Covenants and Restrictions Landscaping Developed Area + LAUE + Protected Area + Undeveloped Area = Total Site Area LAUE (Landscaping, Access and Underground Utility Easements) G. LAUE = A strip of the property 40 feet deep along the full frontage of the property. Points calculated same as streetscaping above only additional points must be used in this area and not distributed throughout the site. Protected Area H. Determined -with site plan. From the total site area less the LAUE, a minimum of 15% of the remainder must be in a protected area that will not be disturbed. Developed Area I. Developed_ area square footage divided by 1000 = x 60 points = developed area landscaping points. No more than 50% of points may be canopy trees and.. existing trees may only be used to meet point requirements with the Board's approval. Reminder: Before C/O a full landscaping plan, including the irrigation plan, will need to be submitted, approved and the plantings will need to be installed. NOTE. 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.

Box 9960 College Station, TX 77842 Dear Mr. Fletcher, I called the office of code enforcement today as I have had no response from the letter I sent to Mr. Brymer and Ms. Foutz on May 6, 2005. I understand you are reviewing this information. I want you to understand that because Source Net did not do what they had agreed to do back in 2002, three years of growing time have been lost in which a hedge would now be taller than the concrete fence. Source Net should be required to compensate for this delay in compliance with the landscaping requirement by putting in larger plants. I am also disappointed that the city did not enforce this code sooner. Please let me know that this error is being corrected as soon as possible. Thank you, Dr. M Austin 4800 Apple Valley Ct.

Box 9960 College Station, TX 77842 Dear Mr. Brymer & Mrs. Foutz; I am following up on the subject of landscaping that was to be done by the owners of the SourceNet building on Quality Circle which adjoins our backyard. Enclosed are copies of communications from your offices in 2002 that state that buffer landscaping should be "a minimum of one 5- -gallon shrub at a minimum of 3 feet in height per 3 linear feet ". Some trees have been planted but an addition of shrubs along the fence (that will grow taller than the fence) are definitely necessary for more protection of the privacy of my home and the other three yards that border the rear parking lot. Recently, by chance I tuned into the College Station planning and zoning meeting in which the change of R1 zoned property to Cl zoning that adjoins Pebble Creek subdivision was being discussed. I wasn't too shocked when photos of our back yard were used by one homeowner to show the ill effects of C 1 zoning when it adjoins residential property. We do have the worst possible scenario regarding a developer's zoning blunder. Please help us to improve our quality of life and that of our neighborhood by enforcing the completion of the landscaping requirements laid out in the buffer ordinance.

Since the informational meeting the City held with the neighborhood and the subsequent neighborhood sponsored meeting, I've been waiting to meet with the developer who has been out of town. The site plan initially submitted was reviewed and staff comments sent to the developer and his architect. The only permit issued thus far has been for site development. City staff met yesterday with the developer to review concerns raised to date. The developer has proposed certain revisions to the site plan and we're waiting for a revised site plan to be submitted with those changes. I think the neighborhood will like most of the changes, however, I do not want to mislead anyone and indicate that everything the neighborhood would like will be provided. The biggest change will be a approx. 45 foot setback on the rear, screening shrubs around rear parking, and emphasis on as in- direct lighting as possible that still achieves security. With those site plan revisions, we anticipate that we will be issuing a building permit. City staff is setting up a meeting for next Weds. March 6th with the neighborhood to go over the revisionsto the site plan. You will be getting a letter in the next few days advising of the meeting. Again, while we may not achieved everything everyone wanted, I think we have a project that will be very compatible with adjacent property. Finally, I did try to call Pebblecreek HOA President Dale Christian today. He was out and I left a voice mail message for him to call me. Thanks for your patience as we work through the issues raised. Please let me or Kim Foutz know if you have any questions. Tont_Brymer City Manager City of College Station P. O.

Backyard Parking lot Mindy, As I mentioned in my Feb. 28th email on to you and other residents in the neighborhood, City staff has worked closely with the developer to attempt to make some changes to the site plan layout that would, hopefully, the neighborhood would view as a good thing. I mentioned in that email that I believed some of these changes would be things you would like, but that I did not want to misrepresent that you would like all of them. Some of the things I thought you would like include the developer creating a 45 food rear setback, putting screening shrubs around his parking lot, and working with us to develop a lighting plan that is as in- direct as possible while achieving security. However, the developer has the option to place all their on -site parking on their property if they choose to (as opposed to a shared parking agreement with UCS across the street) That is what they've chosen to do, although as I mentioned, the developer has agreed to screen the entire parking lot with red tip photenia (or some other fast growing shrubbery). Further, it is my understanding that some of the trees you feel will be removed may be saved with some islands in the parking lot. Finally, regarding the delivery drive, this office building is going to be a day time operation, the type of trucks that would make deliveries would be for mail or food for the employee cafeteria. The building's delivery dock is not sized for large trucks (18 wheelers). Tom Brymer City Manager City of College Station P. O. Box 9960 College Station, TX 77842 www.ci.college- station.tx.us Office 979/764 -3510 Fax 979/764 -6377 >>> "Mindy" <myaustin @cox- internet.com> 03/07/02 01:46PM >>> Mr. Brymer, I am appaulded that after over one month of trying to communicate to the city and the developer that the UCS /Sourcenet Building is an intrusion and mistake for our community, the parking lot in question has only increased in size from - 28 to 56 spaces ? ?? I understand that more trees inthe 0.77acre "Protected "'area will be cut down for the increased size of the parking lot.Are you aware of this? THere will be an amplification of sound from the parking lot which borders very closely on four backyards and will be surrounded by a concrete wall. There needs to be some more research and communication with the owner of USC before more trees are destroyed. I feel Our neighborhood is being destroyed as well.You may have noticed from several letters to the editor of the Eagle and the many inquiries from citizens there is alot of unrest about what this is doing to our neighborhood. Please advise me if anything can be done to prevent this hideous occurance. Mindy Austin 1 . JUN -03 -02 MON 09:48 AM GODFREY CONSTRUCTION l l.
