Hopefully, you have all the details and dimensions that you need to review. I know that you are busy, but I would like to meet as soon as possible so that we can reach an agreement and move forward with opening a Shakey's in College Station. Shakey's, which is out of Missouri, has opened over 30 franchises in the last four years. And, other than a store in Texarkana, this will be one of the first stores in Texas. We have an outstanding product and are excited to be in College Station. If you have any questions, or need any other information please contact me by phone or e-mail. Thanks, Eric W.

PROJECT REVIEW COMMITTEE (PRC) MEETING September 27, 2001 TO: Eric Billings FROM: PRC Review Subcommittee: Rick Floyd, P&Z Commissioner Ron Kaiser, P&Z Commissioner Phil Trapani, P&Z Commissioner Staff Attending: Tammy Macik, Secretary Natalie Ruiz, Development Review Manager Jessica Jimmerson, Staff Planner SUBJECT: Shakey's - Discussion and consideration of the proposed changes to the building including signage located at 701 University Drive East (01-195) The PRC held a meeting on Wednesday, September 19, 2001 to review the above-mentioned project. Commissioner Floyd questioned if the music notes on the side of building are considered signage. Ms. Jimmerson stated it wouldn't be considered signage but the Board has discretion over the building aesthetics. Mr. Billings stated all three signs, on the front and both sides, will be the same type of signs as Dogs 'N Such, the previous occupant. The proposed sign is a painted sign with Shakey's logo. The colors will be blue, yellow, and maroon. Commissioner Floyd confirmed with Mr. Billings that the awning would be a solid blue to match the blue in the frozen custard signage, that the frozen custard lettering will be white, that there will be black backing on Shakey's with neon yellow lighted lettering, and that the cup and cherries will be a maroon color. Commissioner Kaiser mentioned his concern with the signage being busy looking. Mr. Billings stated there would be 1 set of 3 notes instead of 3 sets of 3 notes. Mr. Billing also stated there would not be a sign on the back of the building. Commissioner Floyd asked staff if the attached menu board is considered a sign. Ms. Jimmerson stated that staff is not generally concerned about pedestrian oriented signs but are more interested in signs that can be seen from the right- of-way. This item is at the Boards discretion as a building aesthetic issue. Commissioner Floyd confirmed with Mr. Billings that the attached menu board is proposed to be in the same color scheme. Commissioner Kaiser asked about the VISA/MasterCard signs on the railings. Mr. Billings stated they would not have the signs on railings while they set up. But then Ms. Jimmerson stated that those signs should not be there since they are oriented to the right-of-way and are considered freestanding signs. Commissioner Floyd recommended that the awning and frozen custard sign be maroon, which would tone down the mixture of colors. Commissioner Kaiser was concerned with all the different types of signs and accents. Ms. Jimmerson interjected and added that the applicant is proposing to paint the roof blue. Commissioner Floyd made the motion with the following recommendations: 1) Remove the attached menu board out front to the inside of the building. 2) The awnings are to be a solid maroon color to match the roof or the maroon color they are trying to incorporate into their sign. 3) The backing of the frozen custard part of the sign will be maroon with white lettering. 4) Shakey's signage will be lighted neon yellow and the cup and cherries will be maroon. 5) Remove the notes on both sides. 6) The Shakey's sign should be yellow on black. 7) The roof is to stay the existing color. Since the JukeBox freestanding sign (drive-up menu board) is not attached to the building, the Board does not have the discretion to change anything on it. Commissioner Trapani seconded. Commissioner Floyd added the signs should not extend past the roofline. The motion passed 3-0. Ms. Jimmerson asked the Board if they had a problem painting the building white. Commissioner Floyd stated that white is coloring that the Board can't argue with. Commissioner Trapani moved to approve painting the building solid white with no stripes. Commissioner Floyd seconded. The motion passed 2-0.

The motion passed 2-0. Mr. Fred Bayliss: Here is a list of improvements that Price Ransom and I have discussed about doing to the building at the Chimney Hill location, formerly the "Dogs and Such" building. We just need your approval. Inside the building... 1. Fill in the hole where the vent-hood was removed from and cover with new FRP Panel. 2. Clean stainless steel shelves and paint silver. 3. Paint inside of building white. Outside the building... 1. Paint building white. 2. Paint roof, rails, post (2), awnings, back door, breaker box, AC unit and curb around building blue. 3. Paint approximately 8" on bottom of building pink. 4. Repair wooden facing on awning and straighten out dents in the gutter. 5. And, a few other minor details, such as replacing lighting fixture (1) under awning above southside window. Thank you, Eric W. Billings
