COMMON OWNERSHIP:- Agreed. It is understood that all land including the land under the units will remain under common ownership. 2. PHASING:- Yes, the project will be developed in two parts. The first part containing 52 units located inside the area bounded by Fraternity Row, Deacon, and Wellborn Rd will be developed immediately. The second part containing 42 units and located south of Fraternity Row will be developed later. 3. ADA SIDEWALKS:- This project is almost completely identical (including sidewalks) to our recently competed Navarro townhouse project. Like the townhouse project, these homes will be marketed under HUD guidelines for FHA/VA financing and sold to owner-occupants. Because condominiums and townhomes are viewed by HUD as single family residential housing we are not been required to meet ADA requirements as would be required for public or commercial property (e.g. apartments, office buildings, retail, etc.). 4. PARKING/FLUMES:- I think paint striping may be the best way to address this restricted parking question. On previous projects, paint striping has been very effective for designating assigned parking, visitor parking, and fire lane areas. I prefer to avoid installing a permanent physical barrier (i.e. bollard) because it may unnecessarily restrict lawncare access (i.e. tractor mower) 5.

When property is zoned for single-family residential, developers are required to dedicate park land, or the fee in lieu of land, prior to the filing of the final plat. Since this property is zoned R-5, the required dedication is due prior to the issuance of a building permit. Mr. Cathey's property is located at the corner Deacon Drive and Wellborn Road and consists of 10.46 acres. Mr. Cathey is proposing a fee in lieu of land in the amount of $32,430 (94 units x $345). Please let me know at your earliest convenience if this fee in lieu of land is acceptable by the Parks and Recreation Advisory Board so that we may proceed with issuing the building permits once the plans have been approved. Please call me at 764-3458 if you have any questions regarding this project.

Cathey" <blakecathey@yahoo.com> To: <jflanery@ci. col leg e-station.tx. us> Date: 8/5/02 4:26PM Subject: Deacon Condo - Parking Lot Screening Jennifer, Good Afternoon! Per our earlier telephone conversation on this topic, the revised landscape plan did not include "parking screening" because the current city ordinance only requires screening when parking is located BETWEEN a building and a street ROW. Per zoning ordinance section 11.3 para c; parking lot screening is required "if parking is located between a building and a street right of way." Since our parking lots are adjacent to a ROW and are not located between a street ROW and a building we modified the engineer's original landscaping plan accordingly. If you would like to discuss this requirement in more detail, please give me a call. Regards, Blake Cathey Blake A. Cathey Cathey Development, Inc. P.O.

He has also agreed to install his streetscaping requirements. So, I'm okay to issue a temporary CO on Fraternity Row with the following condition: that the landscaping and streetscaping requirements are installed per the approved plans. When he comes in we just need to ask him how long it will take to finish the landscaping/streetscaping and put that date on the Temporary CO. Thanks! Bridgette George Asst.
