Parkland dedication fees of $25,625 (Community Park Land Acquisition and Development Fees) will be due upon filing of the plat. With the construction of the first park, neighborhood land development fees will not be due, however payment and performance bonds will be required to guarantee payment to subcontractors and suppliers and to insure work is completed. Noted. 2. With the development of the first park, neighborhood parkland development fees will not be due until the next 164 lots are platted (205 lot credit with 41 lots being developed with this phase). The cost estimate for the park is $181,745, which should provide credit for 502 lots Q $362/lot. 3. Please note that any changes made to the plans, that have not been requested by the City of College Station, must be explained in your next transmittal letter and "bubbled" on your plans. Any additional changes on these plans that the City has not been made aware of will constitute a completely new review. Noted. 4. Please note that you may be required to submit paid tax certificates if they are not current prior to the filing of your plat. Noted. 5. The construction documents and reports are still under review and may affect the plat. Noted. ENGINEERING 1. The development permit is currently being reviewed. Any comments made on the development permit may affect the Final Plat. Noted. 2. This area is located in the Spring Creek Impact Fee Area. Please add a note stating this. Fees will be due when the building permit is issued. Note 9 has been added to the plat. 3. Have you found any documentation supporting a 38' street section for Victoria Avenue instead of the typical 48' section for 2 lane major collectors? The original Preliminary Plat for Castlegate 11 showed Victoria Avenue as 48' pavement. When the Final Plat and Construction Drawings for Section 200 were submitted, the width of Victoria Avenue had been changed to 38'. Some of the labels for the pavement width still stated 48' width even though the pavement was drawn at 38. Comments were provided by Josh Norton on March 29, 2011 and April 29, 2011 requested these labels by changed to 38'. The approved plans for Victoria were for 38' pavement and it was constructed to this width. We do not have written documentation of when or why the pavement width was allowed to be 38. The Developer states that this was a decision that the City staff made during the design of the initial phase of the development and it is requested that Victoria be continued at 38' in width as that would match the width of the street from Wm. D. Fitch to Castlegate 11 through the Castlegate Subdivision. The Preliminary Plat was revised in 2012 and the pavement width is drawn at 38; however, the label on the street was not changed and it still was 48' 4. Please revise the floodplain note to reflect the approved LOMB. Note 4 has been revised. 5. A temporary turnaround is required at (Muncaster Lane) for Fire and Sanitation services: • An Easement Dedication Sheet and all necessary attachments must be submitted for review prior to the final plat being scheduled for a P &Z meeting; • The Temporary Turnaround Easement must be filed at the courthouse and the recording information included on the Final Plat prior to the plat being filed at the courthouse. According to an email exchange between Danielle Singh and Joe Schultz, the temporary access easement is not necessary. A hatch is shown to represent the temporary turnaround. This is the way it was shown in Section 200. 6. Near C13, at the intersection of Norwich and Kimbolton, is the jog in the public utility easement intentional? Yes, a 10' easement was necessary on the front of the lots to provide enough clearance for the waterline. ELECTRICAL COMMENTS REQUIRING IMMEDIATE ATTENTION 1. SITE PLAN /PLAT: Developer will provide CSU with a digital, AutoCAD dwg format, version of plat and / or site plan as soon as it is available. Email to: ehorton @cstx.gov Noted. 2. LOAD DATA: The developer will provide load data to CSU as soon as it is available. This information is critical for CSU to accurately determine the size and number of transformers, and other equipment, required to provide service to the project. Failure to provide load data will result in construction delays and, due to clearance requirements, could affect the final building footprint. Delivery time for transformers and other equipment not in stock is approximate 26 weeks. Noted. 3. EASEMENTS: All easements on site are existing. Electric facilities will be designed within existing easements. Noted. 4. EASEMENTS: Developer provides descriptive easements for electric infrastructure as designed by CSU, as shown on plat or site plan. Noted. 5. If easements are existing, the developer will be responsible for locating easements on site to insure that electrical infrastructure is installed within easement boundaries. Noted. 6. The following easements will be required: • BLOCK 14. LOTS 3 -4 10' PUE A 10' PUE has been added at this location. GENERAL ELECTRICAL COMMENTS 1. Developer installs conduit per CSU specs and design. Noted. 2. CSU will provide drawings for electrical installation. Noted. 3. Developer provides 30' of rigid or IMC conduit for each riser conduit. CSU installs riser. Noted. 4. Developer will intercept existing conduit at designated transformers or other existing devices and extend as required. Noted. 5. If conduit does not exist at designated transformer or other existing devices, developer will furnish and install conduit as shown on CSU electrical layout. Noted. 6. Developer pours electric device pads or footings, i.e. transformers, pull boxes, or other device, per CSU specs and design. Noted. 7.
