I have take the liberty of attaching a copy of the site plan for the Center (showing the cross-hatched Access Drive) for your review. As you may know, the location of the Access Drive is closer in proximity to Texas Avenue than what is required and permitted under the applicable ordinances of the City of College Station. It is our understanding that at the pre-development meetings with the Development Services Committee, representatives of Ponderosa Land Development Company informed the members of the Development Services Committee of the location of the Access Drive and that the Development Services Committee was favorable in granting a variance with respect to such location of the Access Drive . 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. Development Services Committee City of College Station June 9, 2004 Page2 We appreciate all of the guidance and continued cooperation that the Development Services Committee has provided to us in connection with the development of the Center. In the interim, if you have any questions or require any additional information, please do not hesitate to contact me.
