Re: Signal at FM 60 and University Town Center
Dear Mr. Wood:
i am in receipt of your letter to Mr. Brymer regarding the above traffic signal. Thank you for
Your willingness to consider this signal and the time you have taken to communicate with us at our
recent meeting and in correspondence. Having read the letter, l would like to make sure that l
understand the provisions and conditions that have been placed on this potential signal location. 1
have outlined my understanding below in a series of points correlating to those made in your letter.
If any of lily points are incorrect, or partially incorrect, please let me know in writing at your earliest
convenience. Mr. Scamardo has a number of clients who are relying on this information andwe
need to be sure we correctly communicate the position.
TxDOT will permit the installation of the signal, as proposed by the developer and City, at
the existing driveway and median opening between Tarrow and Lincoln, given the following
ewiditions are met:
a. The drivewwv for this development at Tarrow East must be designed, and built, as the
main driveway for the development and will be served by a modified signal
arrangement at Tal ow East.
b. This signal at the existing driveway into University Town Center between "farrow
and Lincoln must meet the MUTCD eight hour or four hour volume warrants from
actual generated traffic (not just projected), or the Crash Experience warrant.
The signal. may be designed and constructed but the heads must be covered or left on
flash until actual traffic meets warrants.
d. Coordination of the signals along FM 60 from Texas Avenue to SH 6 will be
maintained for progression by the City of College Station, includnig the installation
of any required interconnect and re- timing of the system.
e. Ifthese conditions are met TxDOT will give its written approval for this new signaJ

Access Driveways (2) Permit
Dear Mr.Gibbs:
We have reviewed and are returning the Access Driveways (2) Permit submitted November 15,
2004, for the referenced site with the following remarks.
It is noted that comments were submitted by TxDOT concerning these improvements for the
August 20 & September 7 Site Development Meetings. Additionally, several meetings were held
at this office & at the District Headquarters to discuss traffic concerns along University Drive for
this site.
Attached is a copy of a letter sent to Mr. Tom Brymer, City Manager, outlining various requirements
needed in order to install / activate a proposed Traffic Signal Light to be located approximately 0.2
mile east of the East Tarrow Street intersection at an existing driveway. With regards to the
conditions indicated in this letter please review the proposed Driveway Permit Site #1 to insure the
overall plan dimensions & traffic movements desired will accommodate the required improvements.
Also, the location of proposed Driveway Permit Site #2 , although not meeting the required spacing,
will be satisfactory with the following recommendations:
1) Recommend a right -turn deceleration lane @ the existing driveway where the proposed Traffic
Signal Light is to be installed;
2) Recommend a right -in, right -out designated entrance @ Driveway Permit Site # 2 with a
painted island divider and a one -way sign to be placed in the University Drive median @ this
location.
After consideration of our remarks, please resubmit this permit for approval.
If you have any questions concerning this matter, please call.

SIGNAL AT FM 60 AND UNIVERSITY TOWN CENTER
Dear Mr. Brymer:
Thank you for taking the time to meet with me to discuss your concerns about the request to
install a traffic signal at the intersection of FM 60 and the University Town Center development.
The Municipal Maintenance Agreement between TxDOT and the City of College Station requires
TxDOT's written approval for any traffic control device which would affect or influence the use
of State maintained highways.
After careful review of the site and the surrounding facilities, and the past discussions about this
location, TxDOT will permit the installation of a traffic signal tinder curtain conditions. The
signal can �e but not turned operational until the following contingencies are met:
• The developer must fully design and build the driveway at the modified signalized
intersection at East Tarrow to be used as the main driveway.
• The intersection will need to meet either Warrant 1: Eight -Hour Vehicular Volume, 1
Warrant 2: Four -Hour Vehicular Volume or Warrant 7: Crash Experience.
• j The coordination of the signals along FM 60 from Texas Avenue to the SH 6 frontage `
!) roads will need to be maintained to provide a favorable progression platoon for vehicles 1
d to travel and minimize the number of stops in the system. 1
The proposed signal will be allowed to be installed; however, the signal heads must be covered r'
turned on flashing only until these conditions are met. If the signal is turned on without meeting
these criteria, we will.instruct the City to comply with these instructions or the signal will be
removed from service by State forces.
If you wish to discuss this issue further, please call me at (979) 778 -9714.

Re: University Town Center Development
Mr. Ellison:
I received a copy of the letters you sent to Ken Fogle, Transportation Planner, and he
asked that I respond to you. As you know, University Drive (FM 60) is a state owned
facility and thus, the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) makes the final
decision regarding issues along their roadways. I have contacted TxDOT regarding the
signalization of the median opening in front of the proposed University Town Center
development as well as the proposed signal modifications at the driveway on University
Drive aligned with Tarrow Street East.
TxDOT h as indi that they do not object to a
on University Drive
owever, to ensure 1
wi th Tarrow Stri
;ast, creating a 4-
negatively
ass section allowi;
impacted, the driveway
minor arterial
two lanes entering th development and at least two t o es and one left -turn lane
exiting tie development. TxDOT and the City of College Station will require the
developer to pay for the traffic signal modifications for this approach. Additionally,
TxDOT and the City of College Station must review and approve the design before the
city will allow construction to begin.
Regarding the proposed signal l� n on University Drive between Tarrow Street East
and Spring Loop, TxDOT will not grant permission for another signal to be installed
between these two signa lze intersections. In order to keep signals operating efficiently, '
TxDOT has begun requiring a signal spacing of Y2 mile, and installing a signal between
these two intersections will violate this spacing requirement. Additionally,: TxDOT will
not allow the installation of a traffic signal when the signal warrants are�satisfied based
on projec ted traffic volumes; signals should be warranted based on exit traffic
ume n
vold/or crash experience.

Response to Engineering Comments
ENGINEERING
1. Acknowledged - TxDOT permit applications were submitted at preliminary review.
2. Acknowledged - Written agreement will be submitted prior to construction of Phase 2.
3. Revision - Cement stabilization extends 12" beyond pipe joints of sanitary sewer lines, and
associate waterline has been noted to center joint over crossing.
4. Clarification - Headwall has been redesigned to be a flush headwall, and it will no longer cross
the existing sanitary sewer line.
5. Revision - Cement stabilized trench backfill and ductile iron pipe have been used in all areas
with less than 3.5' of cover.
6. Clarification - Waterline has been deflected at all possible locations. Instances noted on C6.2
and C6.7 cannot be deflected due to the need to have a complete joint into or out of a fitting and
maintaining the necessary 4' minimum cover.
7. Clarification - Overall utility layout has been revised to show waterline labels.
8. Revision - Air Release Valves have been provided at noted areas on the waterline.
9. Clarification - There are too many easement boundaries to place expansion joints at all boundary
locations.
