Pete Caler came by my office today and said that the dumpster location will not work. Access to dumpsters are required to meet fire lane standards now, Pete suggested a 90- gallon can to be rolled out to the ROW on trash days (this is currently what's being used out there). This may actually free up a parking space or provide more room for the required end islands that are not being met. Also, side walks are going to be required at Lincoln Ave and Texas (to meet the width of existing sidewalks at Lincoln and Texas). I will try calling him back again tomorrow morning if I do not hear from him by 5:00 today.

Accordingly, we hereby request a variance from the City of College Station with regard to the location of the Access Drive to permit us to construct, locate, and operate the Access Drive as shown on the attached site plan.

From: Carol Cotter To: Mark Smith Date: 7/9/2004 10:08 AM Subject: Lincoln Avenue Retail Center (Lincoln and Texas) CC: Jennifer Reeves; Spencer Thompson Mark - It appears that there is nothing in our ordinances that would require the developer of this site to remove the pavement in the TxDOT ROW. Besides, there are drainage facilities, electric facilities, etc. in that area that need to be addressed. We can require that they close the existing driveway /access and construct a 6' sidewalk along Texas Avenue. (You mentioned that the City has a maintenance agreement with TxDOT, but I don't see how we can require the developer to perform that work.) As far as the sidewalks go; We can require a 6 -foot back of curb sidewalk, but as we discussed yesterday, the sidewalks along Texas Avenue are 8 or 10 feet with decorative pavers. Are we able to commit funds to pay for the difference? If not, I will go ahead and just require the 6 foot sidewalks.

PLANNING and ENGINEERING: 1. PLANNING - Have corrected the site plan to reflect the required parking on both the AS & L1.0 sheet. Also the sidewalks have been revised as requested and sod has been noted to be placed between the curb and the sidewalk on Lincoln Ave. and Texas Ave. The area that is presently paved will remain (in the TXDQT right- of-way) and is noted. (Revision #5) 2. ENGINEERING - In regard to the curbs along Texas Ave. the curb now stops at the proposed handicap ramp at the NW side of the property. A new curb is noted to be placed along the property line parallel to Texas Ave. within the property to retain the sod. The proposed sidewalk will be placed along Texas Ave. as requested on Sheets AS & L1.0. (Revision #5) This responds to the comments made by the City of College Station to the referenced project.
