The College Station Public Utilities Department has completed their review of the grading proposed, and believes that the negative impacts would be too significant to allow. Specifically, the grading within the City lot may threaten the stability of the water tank. In addition, there are numerous other issues involving the relocation of site lighting, private installation, operation and maintenance of irrigation systems on City property, and the loss of usability of the graded area due to excessive grade. Please revise the drawings to match existing grade at the property line, and along the eastern edge of the public utility easement to the west of the proposed work. Reviewed by: Brett McCully, P.E.

Required landscaping and irrigation plans were not supplied, so no review was performed. Further submittals without these required plans will be returned unchecked as incomplete. **Please remember that the trees lost in the construction of this parking lot must be replaced within this parking area. Please provide location, caliper, and species of trees. Any trees that are preserved need to be barricaded during construction and a barricade detail and plan must be approved with the site plan. 2. Any parking space shown to only be 18 feet in length must have space for a 2-foot overhang between the curb and the retaining wall. Drive aisles are only required to be 23 feet wide; you may consider lengthening your parking spaces and reducing your drive aisle width. 3. In addition to the end island requirement, 180 s.f. of INTERIOR parking islands is required for each group of 15 (or less) interior parking spaces. Reviewed by: Jennifer Prochazka Date: 8/8/03 ENGINEERING 1. Parking end islands (minimum of 180 S.F. at each end of each row) must be on same level as parking spaces, not above retaining wall(s). Please show required end island areas. 2. Southern island shown must be modified to fully protect southernmost parking space along alley access, or said parking space must be eliminated. (This space is currently extending into marked fire lane. This is not acceptable) 3. Please indicate how the wall can be constructed without encroachment onto the City Water Tank property. It appears that extensive shoring will be necessary to provide a vertical drop of approximately 13 feet within 18 inches of property line for foundation construction. Reviewed by: Brett McCully, P.E.

No Comments Reviewed by: Jennifer Prochazka Date: August 28, 2003 ENGINEERING 1. The grading plan still does not demonstrate how the northern retaining wall can be constructed without encroaching on the City's elevated water tank parcel. The plan provides no room for shoring, bracing, or even forming the wall foundation. This is a repeat comment. 2. The grading plan does not include the utility poles and overhead lines existing within the easement. Review Comments # 2 dated 5/5/03 required the proposed grading to match existing grade at the eastern easement line. After reviewing the Utility Department concerns, we would allow grading to start no closer than 10 feet from the existing poles. The grading must not exceed the 20% slope shown within the western 20 feet of the easement. The eastern 10 feet of the easement may be graded at whatever slope can be adequately landscaped and maintained. 3. Landscaping Plan should be modified to keep all trees at least 20 feet from the western property line to allow for future water pipe installation. Reviewed by: Brett McCully, P.E.
