Re: University Park Section II, Block T, Lot 15
Dear Natalie,
Attached are revised plans on the University Park Project that we discussed yesterday.
The revisions include requests by the Contractor and/or the Architect, and are noted
below as well as highlighted on the plans. The vacating and plat is underway. We would
like to stay on schedule with the building plans so that the contractor can begin as soon as
possible, even with only a grading permit if there are remaining comments. We have not
heard from TxDOT or received comments from them through the City. Please let us
know if you need any thing from us on that approval.
Revisions this submittal:
Relocated fire hydrant in median (C 1)
Added light pole locations in parking lot medians (C 1)
Added steps and landings at proposed entries to Bldg A (C1), step details (C7)
Added AC unit locations at rear of Bldgs A, B, and C (C 1)
Re-graded area between Bldg B and C (0)
Added sign location on University Drive (C 1)
Added fence note on detail (C7)
Revised HC ramp per ADA requirements (C 1)
Re-defined limits of sawcut (0)
Added HC ramp and note along University Drive (0)
Added TxDOT HC ramp detail sheet (RAMP-0013)
Added callouts for storm sewer crossings (0)
Added callouts for utility crossings (C5)
Deleted asphalt paving option (C7)
If the staff has any questions, or wants to meet, we are available. When the PRC is
scheduled for the building, let me know. Thanks for all your help.
Sincerely,
URBAN DESIGN GROUP

Good evening! I discovered some construction plans for this project that have redlines on them that I do
not believe have been returned to you. There have been some personnel changes in the Utility
Department and we are getting some of the plans back later than we used to, hence they were not
returned with the original staff review comments. I wanted to make sure that you received these
comments prior to you resubmitting the revised site plans. I apologize for any inconvenience. Please pick
them up at your convenience at Development Services. When resubmitting the revised plans, please
include the redlines.

3. There is a problem with the enclosure on the east side of the complex by
the detention pond. There is an island directly in front of the pad at a 30
foot distance, too close for a front end loader approach. There are two

make the west enclosure into a double unit with a 12 by 24 foot pad

1. Please change the zoning of the lot to A-P to reflect the recently approved
rezoning.
2. There are two 15-ft. easements that run parallel to each other but are not
labeled. Please identify these easements that run NE to SW across the
property.
3. To adequately screen a dumpster, an 8-ft. fence is needed. Please make
this adjustment.
4. Please note: Signage will be permitted separately.
5. Unless the proposed gravel drive will be screened or gated, the drive to
the gas facility needs to be paved.
6. Building A is not showing any handicap-accessible entry into the building.
7. The project's streetscaping tree requirement is being met with 8 canopy
trees and 6 non-canopy trees. The "Streetscape Provided" section may
remain on the plan if it is desired to keep the point calculations separate
(this is not required by the City), or all landscaping point calculations may
be shown together; but it should be made clear that the streetscaping tree
requirement is being met through 8 canopy and 6 non-canopy trees.
8. Is the transformer on the parking island in the public access easement
proposed or existing? If it is proposed, it needs to be screened with
landscaping from the ROW.

Re: University Park Section II, Block T, Lot 15
Dear Bridgette,
Attached please find our third submittal on the University Park project with revisions as
per staff comments # 2 received January 23`d via fax. We have addressed the comments
as requested. Please note the callout on the site plan for the 15' easements covering the
gas lines are described verbatim from the surveyor's research of the property, and include
the recording information on the easement itself.
We are concerned for the delay in forwarding the driveway permit to TxDOT for their
review. With our first submittal to staff in November, we included an original signed
TxDOT application and additional plans for TxDOT's review. The first set of comments
from staff requested two additional original signed TxDOT applications. We obtained
those documents and submitted again. The comments received yesterday indicate the
plans still haven't been forwarded to TxDOT for their review. Our conversation with
TxDOT confirmed this. We have submitted additional separate site plan sheets
(requested by staff) and additional full sets of plans (which TxDOT will need) on
previous submittals. What can be done to expedite this review?
As per page one of the fax, we are submitting five revised site plans, and two landscape
plans. As per engineering comment number 1, we are submitting three additional site
plan only sheets. However, as we discussed with TxDOT representatives, they will need
full sets of plans for their review of the drives and the grading/drainage. Therefore,
please find three additional sets for TxDOT review.
Sincerely,

Tammy Macik, Secretary
SUBJECT: Driveway Variance for property located at University Park, Section II -The
proposal of a driveway variance for a planned commercial development on the
north side of University Drive west of the intersection of University Drive and
Spring Loop.
The PRC held a meeting on Wednesday, October 11, 2000 to review the above-mentioned
project. Assistant City Engineer Ted Mayo opened the discussion and said that the staff denied
the request for the driveway variance because University Drive is a major arterial. Mr. Mayo
stated that another reason for denial is the nature of University Drive and the fact traffic is
increasing. Mr. Mayo said that TXdot is planning to widen University Drive to include raised
medians. The west driveway would be located in a proposed median cut by TXdot which means
the additional access would only be right turn in and right turn out which is adjacent to Holiday
Inn Express. Applicant Debbie Keating stated that they needed the driveway for the safety of
their customers.
Commissioner Harris motioned to grant a total of 2 access points for both the subject property
and the adjacent property to the west contingent upon one of the 3 driveways shown on the plan
being closed. Commissioner Williams seconded and the motion passed 3-0.

Dear Mr. Vennochi:
We have reviewed the driveway permit submitted for this property improvement. We agree with the
driveway locations and geometrics as submitted. We have discussed with the design engineer, Ms.
Deborah Keating of Urban Design Group, that the sequencing of our ongoing roadway improvement
project with the private property improvement is critical.
a.
Our roadway contractor has initiated work along the front of this property and will be removing the existing
(east) driveway to place the new driveway as roadway widening progresses. As they develop this driveway
ahead of our contractor, I recommend placing only a temporary pavement structure on the State right of
way rather than the expensive concrete driveway proposed. Our contractor will be paid to place the final
concrete driveway after the roadway is widened.
It is my recommendation that the new location (west) driveway not be built ahead of our roadway widening
as it would have to be removed and reconstructed in our roadway widening efforts. If the property owner
can wait, our contractor will construct the west driveway. Therefore, they will not pay the cost to construct
it and we will not pay our contractor to remove it.
I also discussed with Ms. Keating the need to submit a separate utility permit (TxDOT Form 1023) for the
proposed drainage tie to the State's storm sewer system. Again I stressed the importance of the
construction sequencing. She may elect to tie to an existing curb inlet until our contractor breaks the line to
tie it into the proposed storm sewer system. All proposed details and hydraulic calculations will be
submitted through your offices.
If we can provide further assistance in this matter, please contact Karl Nelson at 778-6233.

Dear Mr. Vennochi:
We have reviewed the driveway permit submitted for this property improvement. We agree with the
driveway locations and geometrics as submitted. We have discussed with the design engineer, Ms.
Deborah Keating of Urban Design Group, that the sequencing of our ongoing roadway improvement
project with the private property improvement is critical.
Our roadway contractor has initiated work along the front of this property and will be removing the existing
(east) driveway to place the new driveway as roadway widening progresses. As they develop this driveway
ahead of our contractor, I recommend placing only a temporary pavement structure on the State right of
way rather than the expensive concrete driveway proposed. Our contractor will be paid to place the final
concrete driveway after the roadway is widened.
It is my recommendation that the new location (west) driveway not be built ahead of our roadway widening
as it would have to be removed and reconstructed in our roadway widening efforts. If the property owner
can wait, our contractor will construct the west driveway. Therefore, they will not pay the cost to construct
it and we will not pay our contractor to remove it.
I also discussed with Ms. Keating the need to submit a separate utility permit (TxDOT Form 1023) for the
proposed drainage tie to the State's storm sewer system. Again I stressed the importance of the
construction sequencing. She may elect to tie to an existing curb inlet until our contractor breaks the line to
tie it into the proposed storm sewer system. All proposed details and hydraulic calculations will be
submitted through your offices.
If we can provide further assistance in this matter, please contact Karl Nelson at 778-6233.

SUBJECT: Driveway Variance for property located at University Park, Section II -The
proposal of a driveway variance for a planned commercial development on the
north side of University Drive west of the intersection of University Drive and
Spring Loop.
The PRC held a meeting on Wednesday, October 11, 2000 to review the above-mentioned
project. Assistant City Engineer Ted Mayo opened the discussion and said that the staff denied
the request for the driveway variance because University Drive is a major arterial. Mr. Mayo
stated that another reason for denial is the nature of University Drive and the fact traffic is
increasing. Mr. Mayo said that TXdot is planning to widen University Drive to include raised
medians. The west driveway would be located in a proposed median cut by TXdot which means
the additional access would only be right turn in and right turn out which is adjacent to Holiday
Inn Express. Applicant Debbie Keating stated that they needed the driveway for the safety of
their customers.
Commissioner Harris motioned to grant a total of 2 access points for both the subject property
and the adjacent property to the west contingent upon one of the 3 driveways shown on the plan
being closed. Commissioner Williams seconded and the motion passed 3-0.

To: Celia Goode-Haddock
Date: 3/26/01 9:49AM
Subject: Re: help
Celia:
The Project Review Committee recently heard a variance request related to the driveways in question.
The PRC approved a variance request for the development east of your site. Part of the approval
included granting a shared driveway that would align with TxDOT's proposed median break. The PRC
required that the existing drive be closed as a condition for granting the new drive. I was not at that PRC
meeting, but, it is my understanding that the PRC was advised that the property owners that used the
existing drive were agreeable to closing it. Based on your email, it appears that this is not the case.
I suggest that the developer of the site to the east of you get with our staff to take this item back to the
PRC. I also suggest that he include representatives of all of the properties that use the existing drive in
his request to the PRC.
Please don't hesitate to contact me if I can be of any assistance.
Jim C.
Celia Goode-Haddock <celia@UTITLE.com> 03/23/01 03:35PM
Jim:
I know you are probably not the person to ask, but I know you will direct
me. On the expansion of University Drive East, according to the highway
department, University Title Company will have two curb cuts. One of those
currently exists and the other is to be built. The second cut will be at a
median and our original curb cut will only allow traffic to exit west.
Steve Ross owns property to our east and is building 3 office buildings.
According to the highway department, that property will be allowed a curb
cut to the front building and they will also share the cross over curb cut
with University Title Company.
Here's where I need your help. According to Thomas Vennochi, Jr. at the
city, these two properties can only have 2 curb cuts. Because of the high
volume of both employee traffic and customer traffic into University Title
Company, Coventry Glen Realty and David Skinner, not to mention the other
tenants, we wish to have this decision changed. Just at University Title
Company we average 50 closings per week and that usually translates into
four (4) extra cars per closing. We believe that the decision to only allow
two curb cuts is unreasonable and would create a traffic nightmare and
unsafe conditions.
Please let me know who to talk to and where we need to bring our crowd of
angry protestors.

Re: University Park Section II,
Lot 15, Block T, 1101
University Drive East
Dear Mr. Vennochi:
I am writing to you as the General Partner of Lehtonen Investments II, Ltd., which owns
the building situated on Lot 2, Blk. U, University Park Section H, locally known as 1003
University Drive, East, College Station, Texas. This building, occupied by Coventry Glen
Realty, is in the office park immediately west of the above referenced development now under
construction.
On October 19, 2000 the Project Review Committee of the City of College Station
considered a driveway variance for the above referenced development. The ruling was to allow a
second shared access driveway into Lot 10 Blk. U that would align itself with TxDOT's proposed
median break on University Drive. However, this ruling was subject to the existing driveway
entrance into our office park being closed. This ruling was made without notice to the affected
property owners or without there approval.
Cutting to the chase of the matter, it is readily apparent that the City of College Station
has approved a final plat for the referenced development without the applicant demonstrating
verifiable legal access to the buildings shown on the plat. Accordingly, I strongly suggest that the
current site plan be revoked and the applicant be required to resubmit a revised site plan. This
matter should then be reconsidered by the Project Review Committee at a hearing to include
representatives of the affected properties. Only in this manner can an informed ruling be
forthcoming.
Sincerely,
Alfred Lehtonen, General Partner

RE: Detention Pond Fencing for
University Park II
Mr. Bo Miles:
My immediate concern upon reading your facsimile addressed to Bridgette George (dtd.
06/22/01), is of health and safety. Per the detention pond details on sheet C7, the depth of the
pond and vertical retaining wall will range from approximately 7' to 9'. My guidance would be
to use a chain link fence at least 4' tall. There is a note stating that details can be found in the
achitectural drawings, but I couldn't find that reference. Attached is a copy of requirements out
of the 2001 International Building Code for fencing around a swimming pool that I suggest you
follow.
The City always encourages the positive aesthetics of extensive landscaping. A safety fence
should supplement the landscaping and deter adventurous children attracted to a `hidden
playground'. There should be a gate with a width of no less than 10' for access to the pond for
maintenance purposes. Having concrete exposed should not present any problems of the pond is
properly safeguarded with a fence.
Absolutely no trees or bushes should be planted in the bottom of the pond. This would detract
from the volume capacity the pond was designed to handle.
Please consider this as soon as possible. If you have any questions feel free to contact me at
979-764-3570

RE: Detention Pond Fencing for
University Park II
Mr. Bo Miles:
My immediate concern upon reading your facsimile addressed to Bridgette George (dtd.
06/22/01), is of health and safety. Per the detention pond details on sheet C7, the depth of the
pond and vertical retaining wall will range from approximately 7' to 9'. My guidance would be
to use a chain link fence at least 4' tall. There is a note stating that details can b found 'n th~
achitectural dr win~y7~s but cou dl1't f d tt reference. .S 4.~ s a.. c.oy 0
y~--~X „
The City always encourages the positive aesthetics of extensive landscaping. A safety fence
should supplement the landscaping and deter adventurous children attracted to a `hidden
playground'. There should be a gate with a width of no less than 10' for access to the pond for
maintenance purposes. Having concrete exposed should not present any problems of the pond is
properly safeguarded with a fence.
Absolutely no trees or bushes should be planted in the bottom of the pond. This would detract
from the volume capacity the pond was designed to handle.
Please consider this as soon as possible. If you have any questions feel free to contact me at
979-764-3570

RE: Detention Pond Fencing for
University Park II
Mr. Bo Miles:
In response to Tom Vennochi's comments regarding the fencing for your detention pond,
Planning would like to remind you that if fencing is used, and if it is visible from University
Drive, it will need to be screened from the right-of-way with vegetation.
Universitiy Park II already has an approved landscaping plan. Should landscaping above and
beyond what was approved be added to the site for fence screening, no new plans will need to be
submitted. If the planned landscaping is reconfigured on the site to screen the detention pond
and count towards meeting the landscaping requirement, a new landscape plan will need to be
submitted.
Please call me at 764-3570 if you have any questions.
Sincerely,
Molly Hitchcock

RE: Driveway Variance for
University Park 11
Mr. Fred Bayliss:
-~~o
It has come to our attention that an agree4lent might not have been reached between yourself and the
property owners to the west of your proposed University Park Plaza (University Park Section II
Subdivision, Block T, Lot 15) in regards to closing their existing driveway off of University Drive. We
would like to remind you of the motion passed by the City of College Station Project Review Committee
(PRC) in reference to your request for a variance to our `Driveway Access Location and Design Policy'.
Please find attached the minutes from the PRC meeting of October 11, 2001. It was motioned by
Commissioner Harris "...to grant a total of 2 access points for both the subject property and the
adjacent property to the west contingent upon one of the 3 driveways shown on the plan being
closed." If you are unable to meet this condition you would be required to resubmit your site
plan. Also attached, for clarification, is an illustration depicting the 3 driveways of concern.
We have recently been contacted by individuals involved with the properties west of your subject
tract. Please consider this as soon as possible. If you have any questions feel free to contact me
at 979-764-3570

Bridgette George -TXU Gas Site P From: Edwin Hard

Bridgette George; Natalie Ruiz
Date:
911,9100 875 AM
Subject:
TXU Gas Site
Last THurs. Debbie Keating and the developer of the undeveloped site on University Drive (with the TXU
Gas facility on it) came in and talked to me about an additional curb cut on this site... a second one that
we told them in the predevelopment meeting would not meet the driveway ordinance.
I told then them that I would not approve the driveway b/c it would be a variance of about 100'.
This is just a heads-up b/c I anticipate that they'll be submitting a letter (I told them to you Natalie)
requesting a variance from the PRC. In light of the driveway concerns voiced at the last P&Z, it doesn't
appear that their chances are good. If Debbie contacts any of you regarding this, be sure and let her
know what P&Z did last week with the Harley plat.
