Nothing was changed. We did purchased the land behind the car wash, which gave us an additional parking in excess of +/- 60 spaces. The existing parking lot layout is on the SP -1 sheet and indicated by hash marks. Please find attached the revised elevations as to what is being built on the ends. We are trying to match the back building on Lot 5 & 6 as close as possible. Please keep in mind the first elevations were approved with a building height of 16' with no issues involving the building height, however we did change the finished building height to 11' 10" per the attached transmittal to Molly Hitchcock. We have stepped down the building as indicated on the attached drawing. We have provided spot elevations on the north end to Molly Hitchcock prior to having to provide them for the South end and that transmittal is attached. We have marked on Sheet SP -1 the dimensions that were required for the south end (the building distance to the fence). We feel that this issue should have been addressed at the time of the first submittal prior to a building permit being issued. Since that was not the case we proceeded with construction only to have a stop work ordered issued not once but twice, stemming from the building height. We have a tenant with a lease agreement with us and time frame to complete this building and we now have lost +/- 2 weeks to date on this job. As of this time we cannot afford to loose anymore time. We would like to think that this information would resolve the issue at hand and if you need further information please call at your convenience. Thank you, ' RO.

He wants the CO for the Dollar General store to be issued today (Friday). Jim gave me a pretty long description of all that they have done and are wanting to do in their development. He understands that the CO is being held because he has not completed all of the required improvements on his site. He also understands that if he phases his development that he can set it up so that he can limit the number of items that he needs to complete. What he wants us to do is to give him a list of things that he can get done today that will allow him to get his CO. He has also said that if he has broken or disregarded any rules he apologizes and just wants to get the CO. In his argument to me he cites the fact that we have given him COs before without making him finish everything and that we should do that again. I have scheduled a meeting for 1:30 this afternoon with the development staff to get the background on this project. After that meeting Jane & I will prepare our findings and our recommendation and let Mr. Woods know what we have decided.

You will need to keep in mind that once the shopping center reaches 25% of restaurant/bar the more restrictive parking requirement kicks in for the square footage that exceeds 25% and over. This may require more parking space. Please call if you would like for me to explain in more detail. Jennifer Jennifer Reeves Staff Planner City of College Station jreeves @cstx.gov (979) 764 -3570 (979) 764 -3496 FAX »> "Jeff McDowell" <mcdowell @txcyber.com> 8/10/2004 5:25:26 PM »> GlacierJennifer: For our ultimate calculations on required parking, are we assuming that all of the buildings on Wellborn fall under the 1/150? This question comes from the review of definitions of Shopping Center and the definition of restaurant, i.e. Chicken Express. If I can assume that Chicken Express becomes a part of the Shopping Center at 1/150, I can pick up 6 spaces from them. Chicken Express is 2,400. At 1/100 they require 24 spaces, at 1/150 they require 18. Sorry to be a pain on this, but the definitions are not extremely clear.

Business Center without the shopping center parking requirements. Are you and Jim moving forward with the new site plan to include all four lots with a cross access and parking agreement behind Jamison, as well as the property to the south? I just want you to keep in mind that we just permitted your last tenant space available for office in the back building that is allowed to go in until more parking is provided. I also want to bring to your attention that Dollar General will not be able to get a CO with out the rest of the site developed out on lots 7 and 8.

Lots 7 &8 Block 2 Edelweiss Business Center, College Station Texas. Jim Woods, the contractor for the development, requested a CO on Thursday, July 15, 2004. The CO request was denied for the following reasons. • The project was not built according to the approved site plan. • Construction on the site is not complete. Jim Woods appealed the decision to the prescribed administrative process. Mark Smith met with Jim Woods on Thursday afternoon and listened to the appeal. Mr. Woods acknowledged that the site was not developed according to the approved site plan. , =:` He explained that he was told that he would need to submit a revised site plan that reflected the actual plans for the site and that "phase lines" would need to be provided so that the . -_ +► " City could evaluate and CO the development in ^ ..: 1' stages. Mr. Woods has submitted a new site �' — -► plan showing phase lines but the new site plan does not reflect the way the site has been developed. Mr. Woods promised that he would get a revised plan in and that all of the necessary improvements would be installed. He 116, also apologized for his failure to follow the plans. Staff met to discuss Mr. Woods' appeal of the ro. decision to deny the CO. We discussed several of the items that remained incomplete and points where the site development has deviated from the • .., ,. approved plans. It was determined that without a new site plan that clearly delineates the proposed project phasing as well as how the site proposes to develop that staff could not determine whether the incomplete and improperly constructed items would affect the Dollar General Store. We also - 4x " discussed our experience with Mr. Wood and came to the conclusion that in the past, promises and apologies have been meaningless. The mediation recommendation is to withhold the CO until a revised site plan is developed and approved and all items related to the Dollar General Store's development are complete. • Constantin, Barbu 201 N.
