As seen on this site plan, we are requesting that the Gateway Subdivision be allowed a driveway between Lots 7 & 8 of the development (seen in red on the plan). This driveway will not be constructed until the University Drive median is complete, thereby making the driveway a right in / right out drive. (Per TxDOT, the University Drive widening project should be complete within 5 months). We are requesting approval of only the driveway at this time because it significantly affects the overall layout of the center. A decision on this driveway at this time will allow us to proceed with the design of the adjacent lots in an efficient and cost effective manner. As seen on the attached site plan, the Gateway Subdivision along with the multi-family development that will be constructed to the north of the Gateway development currently have only 2 driveways permitted on University Drive. These are the driveways at the Glenhaven signal and at the proposed Forest Drive signal. Given the upcoming Home Depot and multi-family project, traffic volumes utilizing these two driveways will be sizeable. (A Traffic impact Analysis is currently underway for the Forest signal and full traffic counts were not available as of this writing). This third driveway will allow eastbound traffic attempting to access the big box retail area to turn into the site prior to the Forest signal, thereby reducing the queu length at that location. Because the driveway will not have a median opening, it will not have any left hand turning movements on University Drive, which are the most problematic maneuvers at drive openings. We see this additional driveway as removing traffic from University Drive prior to a potentially congested signal, which is trying to serve a large retail center as well as a large multi- family project. In addition, the driveway spacing for this new drive has been dimensioned and as shown does meet the City of College Station's driveway ordinance. We,Vpreciate your review of this item at your earliest convenience. Please call if you li~eJany questions. S' rely, 14 n Veronica J.B. ter Managing P Cc.

Faxed to you are the minutes from PRC Meeting held May 15, 2002 in regards to Wings-N-More. If you have any questions, please let us know. Veronica, understand that the right-in/right-out driveway on FM60 by the proposed Wings-N-More was approved by the Project Review Committee last week. Based on the City's "Driveway Access Location and Design Policy", we can require deceleration lanes on collector or arterial streets when warranted. In this situation, we have concurred that to maintain safety and minimize delay on this roadway, this type of driveway is best served with a deceleration lane. Year 2000 traffic projections from TxDOT indicate that this section of FM 60 carries approximately 27,000 vehicles per day, translating to 450 vehicles per hour per lane during the peak hour. This amount of traffic during the peak hour easily warrants a deceleration lane. If you have any questions regarding this matter, please contact me at (979) 764-3556.
