As discussed, if in the future the detention pond is visible from the roadway it will need to be screened. 2. FYI: the inside dimensions of the dumpster enclosure must be 12 x 12. Any bollards, gates, etc. must be out of this area. Please also be aware that the gates must be able to be secured open for sanitation service.

Assistant City Engineer for Development Development Services P.O. Box 9960 College Station, TX 77840 RE; Kenny Cotten's BBQ Restaurant —Water and Fire Flow Analysis Dear Alan: Below is the water analysis for the Kenny Cotten's BBQ Restaurant. Domestic flows were based on water consumption for the existing Cotten's BBQ in Robstown, Texas. The proposed Kenny Cotten's Restaurant in College Station is approximately twice the size of the existing Cotten's BBQ, so the existing consumption values were doubled for analysis. The unpeaked domestic flow was calculated to be 5666.67 gpd (3.94 gpm). Using a peaking factor of 4, the peak domestic flow was calculated to be 22,666.67 gpd (15.74 gpm). Historical consumption values were used for the water analysis because these flows are greater than those calculated by the methods presented in the February 2004 B /CS Unified Design Manual. Kenny Cotten's Restaurant is 19,900 square feet and equipped with an automatic fire sprinkler system, requiring a fireflow of 1875 gpm. Fireflow requirements were calculated using the 2000 International Fire Code. The City of College Station allows up to a 50% reduction for sprinkler equipped buildings. A building type of V -B was used to determine the worst -case fireflow requirements because the building material used is not fire - rated. Please see attached excerpt from the 2000 International Fire Code (Exhibit 1). The 2000 International Fire Code was the method used to determine fireflows per February 2004 B /CS Unified Design Manual other /hi -rise category for fire calculations. Page 5 of the manual states: "For onsite fire hydrants needed to obtain coverage of commercial or other high density uses, the design engineer shall consult the City Fire Marshal to obtain the specific fire flow demands for each project via the International Fire Code." 511 UNIVERSITY DRIVE EAST, SUITE 204 COLLEGE STATION, TX 77840 • T 979.260.6963 • s 979.260.3564 CIVIL ENGINEERING .

A blanket easement dedication sheet will follow once we have a title report. The following are our responses to the Site Plan Comments for the Cotten Subdivision. PI nnin : omment: Because the project is located within the OV Overlay zone, you must provide elevations and color /material samples for all facades and for the retaining wall. vA Z nswer: Elevations are attached. Material samples are attached. Retaining wall material is also enclosed. Comment: Please provide utility demand information. Answer: Utility demands have been added. , I only count 223 parking spaces. While this is above the required number, I need for you to reflect the correct number on the site plan. , Answer: The parking count has been changed to reflect the correct number. ,Comment: Based on the number of interior parking spaces, the site is required 1,308 s.f. of interior islands, and not 1,260 s.f. as reflected on the plan. Again, even though you have exceeded this requirement, the correct number must be shown on the site plan. Answer: The interior island calculations have been corrected and are attached. 511 UNIVERSITY DRIVE EAST, SUITE 204 COLLEGE STATION, TX 77840 • T 979.260.6963 • F 979.260.3564 CIVIL ENGINEERING • HYDRAULICS HYDROLOGY UTILITIES • STREETS • SITE PLANS ' SUBDIVISIONS info @mitchellandmorgan.com www.mitchellandmorgan.com - The current location of the "order board" does not allow for any queuing space for additional vehicles. In fact, the vehicle ordering could block the parking just adjacent to it. In any area where vehicle stopping may occur ( "order board and its queuing space and "drive thru" and its queuing space) you must have the "extra" space for the cars beyond the required width of the drive aisle. Answer: This area has been reworked to avoid problems between parked cars, queued cars and the drive aisle width. 'Comment: Please call out dumpster screening material, color and height. ✓Answer: This information had been added to the site plan. Comment: Please verify "light duty pavement" and "heavy duty pavement" to be used. You have shown both concrete and asphalt paving on the detail sheet. For concrete pavement, the Fire Marshall requires a minimum of 6" pavement for all fire lanes. Answer: All light duty pavement is a minimum of 6 ". The heavy duty pavement is 7" in front of the dumpsters. Comment: Please be aware that if the detention pond is visible from the roadway it will need to be screened. This may be accomplished using plant material. It Answer: We would prefer to not screen the pond because it would ultimately be a retention pond with trails and we would have to remove the landscaping. The detention pond is just a temporary facility. 'Comment: The transformer will need to be screened. This maybe accomplished using plant material. `Answer: We will screen it with planting materials as shown on the landscape plan. Comment: Provide a general note on the site plan that all roof and ground- mounted mechanical equipment shall be screened from view or isolated so as not to be visible from any public right -of -way or residential district within 150' of the subject lot, measured form a point five feet above grade. Such screening shall be coordinated with the building architecture and scale to maintain a unified appearance. (Answer: Note has been added to the site plan.

The following are our responses to the city comments for the development permit. Attached please find 1 copy of the fire flow report, 1 copy of the revised construction plans and 1 copy of the offsite easements for storm sewer and detention pond. Enaineerin . Comment: Provide expansion joints along easements, which traverse onsite concrete pavement for future maintenance. Answer: We would prefer to leave the expansion joints in their current locations. Comment: Provide offsite Easements for storm sewer and detention pond. Answer: These easements are private and a copy will be provided to the City prior to site plan approval. Comment: Provide a Fire Flow report. Answer: Fire Flow report is attached. Comment: Extend Waterline 'B' to adjacent southern property avoid a dead end by allowing adjacent site to continue line and loop. Answer: Waterline "B" has been extended. Comment: It appears that swales are needed to capture and route runoff into the pond based on the contours and drainage basins. Answer: As indicated on Exhibit E3 and in Appendix A -3 of the drainage report, only drainage areas, PA -C1, PA -C2, ad PA -A213 are routed through the detention pond. The remaining areas are not detained. Comment: Verify that the proposed velocities are not excessive or that sufficient erosion control is provided. Answer: Erosion control has been provided at the detention pond outfall. Thank you for your cooperation on this project. Please let us know if yo ,u have any questions.
