CONCEPT PLAN AMENDMENT
Chimney Hill Redevelopment
October 15, 2014
The following is a summary of changes to the approved Concept Plan requested via this amendment:
• The main building along the rear of the property that includes the parking garage has been
modified:
o The original building layout concentrated residential apartment uses along the east side
of the parking garage.
o The new layout includes the parking garage centered with hotel and residential uses as
book ends . In addition, a fire lane has been extended to provide for aerial access to the
west side of the building .
• Driveway access points along Tarrow have been modified to eliminate conflicts with the sight
visibility triangle near the west side of the site and the median gore section at the intersection
of Tarrow and East Tarrow .
• The building location for the commercial pad site at University Drive and East Tarrow has been
moved further back from University Drive with parking in front of the building.

Project: CHIMNEY Hill REDEVELOPMENT (PODS) -(14-00900264)
Please note that the comments included below do not need to be included in a revised
Concept Plan or preliminary site plan but are to be incorporated into the final design of
the proposed site plan.
PLANNING
1. The revised POD Concept Plan has been approved as submitted. Please contact me if you
would like stamped copies of the revised plan for your records .
Rev iewed by : Jason Schubert Date : October 27 , 2014
ENGINEERING
These comments reference the revised preliminary site plan that was submitted . Please
incorporate these comments as part of the final design of the site plan :
1. The metes & bounds on the preliminary site plan does not close .
2 . The water line inside the plaza will need to be realigned in such a manner that there 's a 20
feet clearance with the surrounding buildings .
3 . Please change the 90-degree bend at Tarrow East Driveway to two 45 degree bends .
Reviewed by : Kevin Ferrer Date : October 27 , 2014
FIRE
1. The entrance to the property on the east side shows a median . As discussed previously , the
med ian will need to have a laydown curb and be able to support a fire apparatus .
Reviewed by : Eric Dotson Date : October 27 , 2014
SANITATION
1. Need to show dumpster pads on site.
Reviewed by: Wally Urrutia Date : October 24, 2014
TX DOT
1. The proposed deceleration lane [as reviewed on the Concept Plan] does not meet TxDOT's
access management guidelines . The min imum length for a deceleration lane on a roadway
speed of 40mph is 315 '-0 ", lengthening the deceleration lane to 275'-0" from 225 '-0 " will be
acceptable due to available space and the proximity of an intersection , also the access point
median needs to roll back slightly so as not to infringe upon the ROW. Before access can
be approved this revisions must be implemented into the property 's proposed plan and
commercial access request. We look forward to reviewing the revised proposal for access
on the land use I access change.

additional lay down curb to ensure adequate fire department access -including the driveway
and median across from the Hilton .
•
•
•
Also , the drainage/sidewalk comment in the southeast corner by the Hilton was intended for the
corner down by Rosa's , not the fire lane pull off area . RESPONSE : Noted.

meet the sight distance triangles around the curve.
• There appears to be more parking than required on the plans, the 18 spaces for the bar and 24
spaces for residential lobby/fitness are not be required as they are accessory . If a pad site,
Building Bis to have all its parking on its lot. Patio areas should be as well in calculating sq . feet .

been modified to meet the minimum 10' x 22 ' standard. Additional parking has been noted in
the parking legend.

locations in which the separation between a building and water line is less than 20'.
Approximate water line locations are shown on the revised preliminary site pion . The two
locations are along the rear of the property at the corner of the hotel building and Tarrow and
the multi-family building near the intersection of Tarrow and East Tarrow . STAFF RESPONSE :
The Multifamily Building Aa stairwell is depicted as having essentially no clearance with the
existing adjacent 12" waterline . Not providing the full 20 ft separation was agreed to for the

existing line . STAFF RESPONSE : Similarly, the Hotel Building F stairwell is depicted as having
essentially no clearance with the proposed storm sewer. Additional discussion and
accommodation is needed . RESPONSE to REPONSE: W believe we have workec:Loat this issu
with Alan and accommodated the separation distance through an additional junction box as
requested . See revised preliminary site plan .
• At the southeast corner by the Hilton, the drainage would need to go under sidewalk with curb
inlet . RESPONSE : This item was discussed as a recommendation (not a requirement) given the
design of the fire truck pull-out and required sidewalk to reduce the collection of silt and water
along the sidewalk. We will look into the design and drainage issue with the civil package and
complete site plan . STAFF RESPONSE : For the pull off, Fire was okay with a sidewalk being
located through the pull off but th i s is not how it is to be designed . Public sidewalks are to be
separated from the roadway surface so they are at the back of a curb above the roadway
pavement or are located further away behind the curb . RESPONSE to RESPONSE : We will
address this issue through the design of the pull off.

need indivi dual transformers per building . We will need to look at clearance space fo r
transformers . RESPONSE : We will forward the preliminary site plan to electrical once
