Ball Memorial Subdivision Dear Natalie: Attached please find an overall site layout for Lots 1 -4, Block 3 of the L.O. Ball Memorial Subdivision. The purpose for this submittal is to request a variance to the College Station Driveway Ordinance for the two curb cuts shown on the proposed site layout. If you will recall, the L.O. Ball Memorial Subdivision plat originally included a single access easement location to Rock Prairie Road providing for one driveway between Lots 2 & 3. Our desire is to delete the single cross access location and replace it with two alternate locations, one driveway located between Lots 3 & 4 and another on Lot 1. We realize that these curb cuts will not meet the College Station Driveway Ordinance but we believe that they will allow this site, as well as the surrounding properties, to work together as a better system. The first proposed driveway would be located between Lots 3 & 4. It has an opposite right driveway spacing of approximately 290 feet as opposed to the required 300 feet. It also has an opposite left driveway spacing of approximately 108 feet as opposed to the required 125 feet. When we delete the access easement between Lots 2 & 3 from consideration, the location of this proposed curb cut meets the adjacent driveway spacing (required 275 feet). The second proposed driveway would be located on Lot 1, and has an opposite right driveway spacing of approximately 248 feet as opposed to the required 300 feet. The opposite left driveway spacing for this proposed drive is approximately 295 feet which meets the required 125 foot spacing. The adjacent right driveway spacing for this proposed drive is approximately 380 feet, which well exceeds the required 275 feet. The adjacent left driveway spacing, however, is only 61 feet which does not meet the required 275 feet. It is worth noting that the left adjacent driveway is the emergency drive entrance to the Med Hospital. This driveway because of its function is used relatively infrequently as compared to the main entrance of the Med Hospital or of any commercial driveway.

The adjacent right driveway spacing for this proposed drive is approximately 380 feet, which well exceeds the required 275 feet. The adjacent left driveway spacing, however, is only 61 feet which does not meet the required 275 feet. It is worth noting that the left adjacent driveway is the emergency drive entrance to the Med Hospital. This driveway because of its function is used relatively infrequently as compared to the main entrance of the Med Hospital or of any commercial driveway. Additionally, when the emergency drive is in use, the emergency vehicles clearly have the right of way by benefit of their status. Because of the traffic patterns into and out of the emergency drive and the fact that opposite right driveway spacing is the most critical of all four spacing types, it is preferable to have a driveway location on the site that was as far west as possible. In looking at the properties on Rock Prairie Road opposite the subject lots, it is interesting to note that there is a developed A -P use opposite Lots 2 &3, as well as a vacant C -2 zoned property on the northwest corner of Rock Prairie Road and Longmire Drive. It is the vacant C -2 use, which is of interest to us in this case. The current final plat of Ponderosa Place Tract G, which includes both Tract G1 and Tract G2 does not provide for cross access between these two lots. If the C -2 tract (Tract G2) develops as a C -2 use, they will most likely request a driveway on Rock Prairie Road. They will be encouraged to share the driveway with the adjacent A -P user, which given the difference between the types of uses in these zoning districts, the A -P user will more than likely object to any sharing of their driveway facility. If the City feels they can reasonably deny access to Rock Prairie Road for Tract G2, then further discussion is mute. However, as has been done in many cases, the City usually tries to find the "best location" given the existing circumstances in which to allow a single curb cut for a piece of property. If the L.O. Ball Memorial Subdivision had only a single curb cut lined up with the current A -P use, the "best drive location" for Tract G2 would be very close to Longmire Drive. This is due to the fact that the opposite right driveways are the most critical spacing criteria as they place opposing left turning maneuvers in dangerous situations. If the L.O. Ball Memorial Subdivision had only the single curb cut across from the A -P use and the C -2 use (Tract G2) received a curb cut on Rock Prairie Road, there will no doubt be left turning maneuver conflicts. We believe that it is worthwhile to think in the bigger scheme and look at the opposing left turning maneuvers, as well as the length of the left turn bay at the proposed signal at Longmire and Rock Prairie. It is reasonable to say that the two properties whose traffic patterns would be similar (i.e. the ones which would have the most conflict) would be the L.O. Ball Memorial Subdivision and the C -2 lot across Rock Prairie Road. This would lead us to design access points for these two properties that would not be in conflict in the future. If the L.O. Ball Memorial Subdivision had an access point located which tried to best meet the Driveway Ordinance, and this same location worked for the C -2 property, it would be ideal. This way the drives could be lined up and opposing left turning maneuvers would not be an issue. If this driveway was also located to maximize the left turn bay length for the signal it would be ideal. Given where the proposed driveway is located, and if we allow 2 vehicles to que to turn into the shopping center, we have approximately 180 feet remaining in the left turn bay for the signal or room for approximately 8 -9 cars to que at the signal. Another advantage of the two drive locations for the L.O. Ball Memorial Subdivision is that it allows consumers to enter or exit the shopping center at a location as far from the signal as possible. This allows for better sight distance and reaction time for the drivers. Although the original access location was in compliance with the Driveway Ordinance (unless the City will deny access by Tract G2 (the C -2 user) to Rock Prairie Road) we believe that this new driveway layout is far superior. Although it does not completely meet the Driveway Ordinance, it certainly goes far to meet the intent. We would respectfully request consideration of this variance at the next available Project Review Committee meeting. As always we will be happy to discuss this issue with the staff as well as answer any questions that you may have.

Box 9960 1101 Texas Avenue College Station, TX 77842 TeP. 409 764 3500 Memorandum To: Project Review Committee From: Tom Vennochi, Graduate Engineer, 1 Date: February 2, 2001 Re: Variance for driveway located on Rock Prairie Road This item is in consideration of a driveway variance request on Rock Prairie Road, Lots 1 -4 of the L.O. Ball Memorial Subdivision, Phase II. The four lots stretch from the southwest corner of Rock Prairie and Longmire Drive to the hospital property. The owner is also replatting these 4 lots by themselves out of the larger tract. The previous final plat of the larger tract, that includes the whole block from Rock Prairie to Birmingham Drive, was purposely platted with easements to require only one curb cut on Rock Prairie Road. The prospective buyer for the corner lot, Lot 4, is a McDonalds Restaurant. The establishments, and hence, the traffic generation of the other three lots are unknown. The important factors to be considered are as follows: (a) Rock Prairie Road as a corridor connector between SH 40 and SH 6. (b) Fluid traffic flow on Rock Prairie Road. (c) Congestion at the Longmire and Rock Prairie intersection. (d) Establishment of the rear access easement. This section of Rock Prairie Road is classified as a major arterial on the Thoroughfare Plan. It is an important east -west corridor connecting Wellborn Road and the East By- Pass. This section will become an even more important connector when the proposed SH 40 comes into being, which is going to parallel Wellborn Road. Hence, it will be connecting two freeways. Being a connector with this future will increase the flow of traffic. There will also be an increase in traffic flow due to future development of the area. The ideal set up for a major arterial would be no access on to the road way except for major cross streets (see Figure VII -12). Although we have an existing condition and cannot attain the ideal, controlling access, i.e. curb cuts, to limit the deterioration of the traffic flow and the level of service is what we should pursue, as much as possible. Home of Texas A &M University Rock Prairie Road is classified as a major arterial because the road already experiences 12,000 cars per day (Average Daily Traffic). This caught the attention of the past Transportation Planner, Edwin Hard, when reviewing the Kroger Signature Store. The future of the Rock Prairie and Longmire intersection will eventually include improvements as traffic increases. This might include a left turn lane and a raised median. Ed Hard designed the single access on the final plat to coincide with a proposed median opening and the existing curb opening across the street. The driveways proposed do not meet the `Driveway Access Location and Design Policy' of the City of College Station. To help provide sufficient access an easement was placed in the rear to service all of Lots 1 -6. Especially Lot 6, behind Lots 1 and 2, that was land locked. Staff does not support this variance due to the necessary preservation of the level of service in traffic flow and evident turning conflicts and congestion that will arise from having multiple driveways in close proximity to the intersection. 540 AASHTO— Geometric Design of Highways and Streets I Rural and Urban Arterials (Urb Figure VII -12.

Here are the brief descriptions of how we addressed each comment: Planning Need to show easements as existinq or proposed. We have relabeled each of the easements on sheet C -1 as existing or proposed. Need to show all utilities as existing or proposed. All existing utilities on sheet C -1 have been labeled as existing. All proposed private utilities are shown on sheet C -3 and are labeled proposed. Need to contact Tony Michalsky at 764 -3438 for transformer location and conduit routes for electrical. We have contacted Tony Michalsky and together we have determined the location of the transformer and conduits. We have identified the transformer and conduit locations on sheet c -3, and the transformer location on sheet c -1. Need to identify buildinq setbacks on the site plan. The building setbacks have been shown on sheet c -1. The parkinq requirements for a restaurant are (1:100) were not met. By total square footage of the buildinq you are required to have 108 parking spaces only 85 are shown. In earlier discussions it was brought to our attention that this building might be shared with a video store If this is the case you will need to show this on your site plan. This would change your parking requirements. We have delineated the difference between the video store and the McDonald's on sheet C -1. We have shown the square footage of each separate store. The dumpster at the southwest corner of the subject property needs to face the drive aisle. The dumpster has been turned to face the drive aisle. 6161 SAVOY, SUITE 310 HOUSTON, TEXAS 77036 PHONE: 713.952.6888 FAX: 713.952.9994 Need to identify meter locations. The meter locations have been shown on sheet c -1 as well as sheet c -3. Need to identify fire lanes. Per a conversation with the fire marshall, the fire lanes have been shown on sheet c -1 as keynote number 26. A raised curb is required around the perimeter of all paved areas. In areas where the pavement will be expanded for future development, a temporary knock -off curb can be used. Delineate the location and type of curb around all paved areas. (The 30' Access Easement perpendicular to Longmire Drive that will be constructed with McDonald's, needs to reflect permanent or temporary curbing. This also applies to the Rock Prairie Road entrance. Staff is assuming that McDonald's will construct both on -site and off -site access easements as reflected on the site plan.) McDonald's will construct all drives as shown on plans. We are installing curbs around the drives we are installing on Rock Prairie Road and Longmire Drive. The curb radius at Rock Prairie and Longmire entrances do not meet our minimum 15' radius. Curb radii have been changed to 15'. All signs are permitted separately. Will permit separately. Need to provide additional information for the proposed pavers in the parking islands (colors, materials, etc.) The pavers will be stamped concrete, dark gray. The location of the pavers are shown on sheet c -1 as keynote number 28. ENGINEERING There is an existing sanitary sewer manhole in the southwest corner of the subject tract. Please connect to the manhole. It is not clear if the manhole is shown. It is mandatory for sewer lines greater than 4" to connect to a manhole. The existing sanitary sewer manhole is shown on sheet c -3. However, per our conversation, we are connected our sanitary sewer service to an existing 12" stub -out at our property line. Please show the estimated demand for domestic water, irrigation water and sewer usage; minimum average and maximum on the site plan. We will size the meters and stamp the plans accordingly. The usages for the McDonald's and the video store are shown on sheet c -3. What will be the use of the %" water line? The checklist states that the building will not be sprinkled, therefore, 1 assume it is not a fire line. The %" water line will be used for water service to the dumpster area and washing down the dumpster pad. \\Server0l \shared\KCC\Project\0095-01 \doc\Staff Comments Reply 0095.doc Page 2 of A Drainage Report is necessary to show the additional runoff into Longmire Drive can be handled in the curb flow according to our `Drainage Policy and Design Standards'. A drainage report is being submitted along with the revised plans. The throat depth for a driveway abuttinq a ma /or arterial needs to be 55' according to our `Driveway Access Location and Design Policy'. Per an agreement between the City of College Station and Ms. Veronica Morgan of M &M, we are required to only have a throat depth of 40'. We have revised our plans to show a throat depth of 40'. ELECTRICAL Developer /Owner is responsib for providing and installing at developers cost: Conduit per Electric Divisions spec and design. 2 -4" pray sch 40 pvc conduit for primary service, to transformer and through to property line for future loop feed. The two existinq conduits at the dumpster location will need to be extended to a padmount transformer location than to the southwest property line for future extension by the next development. Show proposed location of padmount transformer at rear of building. Concrete transformer pads per city specs. Metering will be on transformer, owner /developer is responsible for conduit and conductor for secondary service to building. We have revised sheet c -3 to show the transformer location and the proposed conduits. Developer /Owner needs to provide the following: Digital Autocad version of plat and /or site plan. E -mail tmichals(o)ci. college- station. tx. us Temporary blanket easement for construction purposes. (Required before CO will be issued) Upon completion of project the developer /owner provides surveyed sealed meets and bounds descriptive easement to cover the electric infrastructure as installed Our legal department will prepare the documents and send them out for signatures and upon filinq the temporary blanket easement is released. Electric load data for proiect (need ASAP transformer delivery is currently 20 to 26 weeks). Guy wire located in the parking space will need to be protected by an island. Removal would require the installation of a self - supporting power pole on the north side of Rock Prairie Rd Developer /owner would be responsible for paying the cost of installing the pole. Contact Tony Michalsky at 979 - 764 -3438. We have created an island where the guy wire is located to avoid having to relocate the wire. MISCELLANEOUS Irrigation system must be protected by either a Pressure Vacuum Breaker or Reduced Pressure Principle Back Flow Device and installed as per City Ordinance 2394. Meter note has been revised on sheet c -3 to reflect the specified back flow device. Back Flow devices must be tested upon installation as per City Ordinance 2394. Meter note has been changed on sheet c -3. \\Server0l \shared\KCC\Project\0095-01 \doc\Staff Comments Reply 0095.doc Page 3 of If you have any questions concerning how I addressed each of the comments, please do not hesitate to call.

Your comment requested that the throat depth for the driveway on Rock Prairie Road be a minimum of 55 feet per City of College Station ordinances. I am familiar with the Driveway Ordinance and do feel that these throat depths are incredibly important in site plan design. However, in reviewing their site plan and given the driveway variance conditions, I would ask you to reconsider the 55 -foot requirement for the following reason. Per the City of College Station Driveway Ordinance the Driveway Throat Length (DTL) for a Major Arterial is 55 -feet and the DTL for a Minor Arterial is 40 -feet. Both requirements were set based upon the traffic volume on the roadway and thus probable traffic volume turning into and out of a site. The conditions placed on the driveway variance for this site require that the driveway in question be designed as a right in/right out only driveway on Rock Prairie Road. As such it will not function as a full service driveway with left hand turning maneuvers into or out of the site. By virtue of this condition, the turning maneuvers and traffic volume using the driveway have been substantially reduced. Due to the driveway variance condition, which eliminates 2 of the possible 4 turning maneuvers into and out of the site, the magnitude of the traffic volume utilizing the driveway will be much more in line with that produced on a minor arterial as opposed to a major arterial roadway. As such, McDonald's would like to request that the Driveway Throat Length requirement for their site be designed in accordance with the Minor Arterial roadway classification requirements as opposed to the Major Arterial classification requirements. This throat depth will allow the site to be designed in a safe yet efficient manner. If you have any questions or require additional information concerning this matter, please do not i "o ca ll. , Veronica W J.B V . rgan, Managing Partner Cc: Leon Weissman, McDonald's Corp.
