You have been previously copied on a letter dated November 13, 2006 that was issued by Grant Wencel regarding parking requirements and the calculation of "intense uses" for shopping centers. Intense uses are those uses that have a greater parking requirement than that of a shopping center (1 space : 250 gross square feet ratio). Once a shopping center consists of more than 25% of intense uses, the area above that percentage requires additional parking at the ratio of the type of use proposed. The general parking requirements and ratios can be found in the Unified Development Ordinance (UDO) Section 7.2.1 Number of Off - Street Parking Spaces Required. Based on the nature of the existing uses on this property, Winestyles is classified as a night club at a 1:50 ratio and Lazersmooth is a Medical Clinic at a 1:200 ratio. Winestyles was the first intense use and has 1,977 interior square feet and 153 square feet of outdoor patio and Lazersmooth consists of 1,977 square feet. The building totals 7,510 interior square feet and when the outdoor patio area is included, it totals 7,663 square feet. As stated in the previous letter, based on these figures 46 parking spaces are required. The property has a joint parking agreement with the neighboring property (Lot 2RC) which has recently developed as a car wash facility. With its associated office and storage area, the car wash requires 6 parking spaces. Between the two properties, 52 parking spaces have been provided, thus fulfilling the 46 spaces required for this property and the 6 spaces for Lot 2RC as currently developed. It is my understanding that you would like to verify that Winestyles can be replaced with a restaurant without a drive - through and meet City parking requirements. 1 can confirm this fact for you. If Winestyles and its patio were removed, a restaurant without a drive - through could have as much as 2,203 square feet. If the patio were retained, the restaurant could have an interior area of 2. ,088 square feet plus the patio. These calculations assume that Lazersmooth remains and that the remaining area consists of non - intense use(s). I hope this information is helpful to you, let me know if you have any questions. pc: Case file #04- 00500022 Home of Texas A &M University RESPONSES TO STAFF REVIEW COMMENTS NO.2 "Gateway" Retail Center College Station, Texas Case File #04- 00500022 These comments addressed by John Rhodes of R.A.I.. March 3, 2004 RESPONSES TO STAFF REVIEW COMMENTS NO.2 PLANNING 1. The parking space details themselves were dimensioned on sheet S -5. I added a typical dimension on sheet S -4. 2. Sheet S -3 and S -4 were labeled at 1:30 and actually were at 1:20. They have now been changed. The request for changing scale of sheet S -5 seems to be a personal preference and not a requirement. Engineering scales are to read 1:10, 1:20, etc. by changing to these no details would be legible. 3. Island is altered had to remove one parking space and added it back on adjacent side. 4. Crepe myrtle note is changed to read 1.25 cal. 5. Will choose different species and add it to landscaping. 6. You receive the number 47 when you multiply numbers out and round them separately. Why would you calculate one building with two classifications separately? Need to discuss this item. 7. In the original pre- development meeting we had with the city the traffic engineer stated that there was no problem with us having those 7 spaces with off street parking. Due to our many lot restraints and the current chaotic use of the existing space. This is a rather major item and was nowhere noted on the previous comments. No changes were made for this. We have several items to discuss on this. 8. There was nothing for us to change on this. ENGINEERING 1.

Since the original submittal we have reworked the entire site drainage in order to have the majority of all runoff to drain to the main inlet located on our site (per your request on first comments). The sloped areas noted on the plan around the dumpster are ramps simply for access to the dumpsters with carts and also meet the handicap accessible requirements located in that area. There were 2 grades that were not altered due to our rush for re- submittal. They have now been changed. 6. The original plat does not have a finished floor elevation requirement on it. All the existing grades in this area were altered prior to our start on our project. There is no area on our lots that remain in the flood plain. 7. Oversight on my part. Changes have been made. 8.
