Re: University Town Center Development, University Drive, College Station
Dear Mr. Fogle:
I have attached two copies of a Traffic Impact Assessment that I had done by Jeff Milburn
Engineering for your review and comment. Of particular interest to us is the need for a traffic signal
at the intersection of the newly constructed driveway into the hotel that is under construction. We
have a number of clients interested in the development who will make their decisions based on the
commitment of the City and TxDOT to placing a signal at this location as we have discussed on
previous occasions.
Because the site plan depends on these commitments and the presence of a traffic signal, we
have submitted the TIA based on a preliminary site plan as shown in the study. We expect this site
plan to change somewhat as things move along. Mr. Milburn assures us that as long as the
approximate square footage of each land use remains reasonably accurate the conclusions in the
study will remain applicable as far as projected traffic volumes and signal warrants are concerned.
We will provide a copy of the study to TxDOT for their review as well and would like to go
forward with the process that may be required to provide this important traffic signal. We will
submit site plans for formal approval at the appropriate time as it becomes clear that the traffic signal
project is underway.
Thank you for your attention to this matter. Both Mr. Milburn and I remain available for
your questions or comments.

As you know I represent Sahara Realty Group, Ltd. regarding the captioned project. David
Scarmardo asked me to contact you regarding the status of the placement of a traffic signal along
University Drive. I have enclosed a copy of a letter dated June 8, 2004, wherein the traffic impact
analysis was submitted. We conducted the TIA at the suggestion of Kim Foutz who indicated that
it would be required prior to the City making final decision. We have met with her several times
since the meeting and asked about the status of the City's determination but as of yet have
received no response.
Can you please provide me with an update as to the status of this decision at your earliest
opportunity?

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 has indicated that they do not object to a driveway from the University Town
Center Development on University Drive aligned with Tarrow Street East, creating a 4-
legged intersection. However, to ensure that traffic operations are not negatively
impacted, the driveway should be constructed with a minor arterial cross section allowing
two lanes entering the development and at least two through lanes and one left -turn lane
exiting the 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 location on University Drive between Tarrow Street East
and Spring Loop, TxDOT will not grant permission for another signal to be installed
between these two signalized intersections. In order to keep signals operating efficiently,
TxDOT has begun requiring a signal spacing of % 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 projected traffic volumes; signals should be warranted based on existing traffic
volumes and/or crash experience.

Hi Natalie,
I think your second preference is definitely closer to what David would like. However, we see lots 5R, 6R
and 7R as separate premises. With that in mind, lots 1R, 2R, 3R, and 6R could be considered one
building plot, lots 4R & 5R one building plot, and lot 7R an individual premise.

Good morning Fred,
I've looked at the signage information you submitted and here are my concerns:
- In order to get 3 freestanding signs up to 300 sq. ft. in area we would have to determine that there are 3
building plots. Given the layout, size and function of the center, I could only justify 2 building plots -
maximum.
- My first preference is to consider the entire site 1 building plot which would give you the option of 1 300
sq. ft. sign or 1 200 sq. ft. sign and 3 low profile signs for lots 5R, 6R and 7R.
- My second preference would be for a maximum of 2 building plots. For example, building plot 1 could
consist of lots 1 R, 2R, 3R, 6R and 7R. Building plot 2 could consist of lots 4R and 5R. Building plot 1
could have 1 -300 sq. ft. sign for all lots or 1 -200 sq. ft. sign and low profile signs for lots 6R and 7R.
plot 2 could have 11 -WO sq. ft sign for both lots, or 1=200 sq. ft sign and — a low
For the plat, we need to establish the "building plot" for the purposes of signage on the plat as a general
note. I want to make it clear up front what signage can & cannot be allowed. Let me know what you think.

Natalie,
David asked that I send the attached sketch to you for your comments.
Here is our preferred signage & it's justification.
I recently spoke with Bridgette & she mentioned that the City would determine the "building plot" for a
site with respect to signage. This seems to make the determination rather subjective instead of "clear and
unambiguous" as the LIDO suggests.
Anyway, Call or email if you have any questions or problems viewing (My copy opens in Internet

Yes, the one on the far west side was the one I was talking about. The TGI Fridays dumpster location
looks to be ok. The location between the 7,618 s.f restaurant and the 6,526 s.f. is facing the parking lot
which can cause a problem if there are vehicles parked infront at the time of service. We do start early in

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 th 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.

Good morning Fred - I am in receipt of the new phased site layout for the University Town Center. According to
our records it appears that this next submittal will be review #6. A couple of things that I noticed that will need
to addressed is temporary curbing between the phases that are not developed yet (between Phase 2A & 2B, 2B
&3, 2A &3. This will need to be reflected on the plan. Also, please remember that each phase must support
itself as far as parking, landscape & streetscape. The following items will need to be recalculated and reflected
on the landscape and site plans per phase. These are just a few items that have caught my attention just by
looking at the 8.5 x 11 print out of the image you sent me. Im not sure how or if this will effect any of the
utilities. Alan may be better suited to answer those questions. As far as what you need to do for submittal, if
you could submit one site and landscape plan delineating the temp. curbing and other items listed above that
would be good. Please bubble and list any changes or new items. Let me know if you have anymore questions

Dear Alan & Jennifer,
I received a call yesterday from John Logan stating that he did not approve of the Water & Sanitary Sewer lines running
under dumpster pads & enclosures. He indicated that this condition, in his eyes, would hold up the building C/O & wanted
the water & sewer lines moved. My response was: this was the design from the beginning, this position of the dumpster &
utility lines were approved, the dumpster pad and enclosure were shown on the utility plan/profile sheets, the lines were
constructed and approved by the City. Based on my understanding of the review & approval process as well as the May 06,
2005 acceptance of the utility lines, I believe there should be no problems with the building C /O's or project acceptance.
Please respond at your earliest convenience.
Best Regards,
Fred Paine

Fred and I did speak yesterday about the dumpster enclosure and I agreed the plans and lines had been
reviewed for compliance and the lines had been installed and accepted by the city. Fred and I also agreed
in our phone conversation that nowhere in the site plans that were submitted is the dumpster pad shown
to be enclosed by a 6' -8' CMU wall w/ reinforced cores and brick veneer. If a problem developed w/ the
waterline the entire structure would have to be removed. I believe CoCS should be concerned who would
pay for replacement of this significant structure. At the very least CoCS should require a letter of release
of liability in the event the structure had to be torn down.

A license to encroach that would accomplish what you describe.
Would this be considered a "structure" under our building code?

Chris found the language which is essentially the same - "Structure. That which is built or constructed."
Additionally, there is an building permit exemption for fences up to 6 feet. It sounds as though we consistently
interpret a masonry wall or column as a structure, not a fence.

I've been researching this - talking with Chris yesterday he said the Building Code would define it as a structure,
I should get that language shortly. In the UDO definitions, Structure is defined as "anything constructed, built,
or erected." In looking through the sub regs, DEs don't allow construction including fences, but I don't see
where structures are specifically mentioned for PUEs. Would that be listed elsewhere?

Fred here are some staff review comments from Fire, Sanitation, myself and Alan. I just wanted to send
this to you so you would have an idea of what some of the glaring issues were. We can cover the bubbled
issues that you sent over yesterday afternoon at 4:00 today. Hopefully we can get all of the issues worked
out this afternoon so that you all can resubmit for stamping possibly next week. Look forward to our
meeting.
Thanks,
Jennifer
