Also, indicate how the building will be phased. I of the future review can be Show distances to the opposite and adjacent drives per ordinance. There are 20 parking spaces located head to head without wheelstops or an island area between them. If those are intended to be used for large vehicle/truck parking, then by policy we only count those as one space instead of two. Business Center Covenants and Restrictions 5. What are all the uses in the building? How much area is there for each use? Parking requirements are based on uses. 6. There is an unlabeled line around the project that is the limit of the developed area? t 7. The protected areas and the L.A.U.E. areas are separate and should not overlap. ~ 8. A landscape plan was not submitted for review with the site plan as required by the City's Zoning Ordinance. The site plan cannot be approved until a landscape plan is submitted and approved by the Board. If there are any changes to the site plan as a result of the landscape plan, you will be required to modify the site plan accordingly. Electrical Comments 9. The developer is responsible for installing conduit per City specs. & design. 10. The developer is responsible for pouring transformer pad per City specs. 11. The developer is responsible for providing public utility easements to cover all primary electrical lines and equipment. 12. The electric meter will be on the transformer.

The City of College Station Drainage Policy and Design Standards (DP&DS) Section IV, B, 5 states that "conduits of 24 inches or less diameter shall be assumed to have 25% reduced cross-sectional area for design purposes". This does not translate to a 25% increase in flows, rather the area in Manning's equation is multiplied by a factor of 0.75. Please note that area appears twice in the equation. Once as "A" and once in "R", where R = (Area)/(Wetted Perimeter). This recalculation will affect pipe capacities and possible over flows. 2. Your 100-yr pipe flow calculations do not reflect actual conditions. A culvert equation was used, which assumes that there is no restriction on the pipe inlet except the culvert entrance. The equation calculates the head required to pass the input flow. However, many of the pipes have curb inlets restricting the amount of flow into the pipe. Therefore, the maximum flow rate of the pipe is the maximum flow allowed by the curb inlet and the subsequently calculated "headwater elevation" is not accurate. A check of some of these flows show the curb inlets will not pass the calculated 100-yr storm and thereby overflow the curb. If the stormwater flows cannot be contained within the piping system, as is the case for several inlets, then a drainage easement must be obtained along the overflow path where overflow will occur. The DP&DS requires that stormwater piping systems be designed as "open channel flow", and not as pressure flow (Section VI, A). 3. After implementing the above comments, please calculate the hydraulic grade line for the stormwater pipe and include it on the profile sheet as per the DP&DS Section IV, C, 3. 4. Sheet C4 calls out a Type B Headwall on the 60" storm sewer. The Type B is not noted elsewhere, as on Sheet C8. This structure should be an energy dissipating headwall. 5. Please construct all "public" sidewalks to City standards and include City details. Reviewed by: Spencer Thompson Date: 23-May-00 STAFF REVIEW COMMENTS No. 2 Project: VIATEL INC. (SP) (0-79) Standard Site Plan Requirements 2. Show the building phase areas on the site plan. Also, delineate the areas of different usage -office vs. warehouse/storage -for this phase. 5. Show firelane pavement detail. Business Center Covenants and Restrictions 8. The site plan cannot be approved until a landscape plan is submitted and approved by staff and the Business Center Board. A full building permit will not be issued until the site plan is approved. Landscaping requirements in the Business Center are very extensive and full compliance may require modifications to the proposed site layout. Electrical Comments 1. Revise sheet E1.1 of the construction documents to reflect the proposed two 4" conduits. (We can provide you with a drawing showing the exact location if needed.) NOTE: 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 have not been pointed out to the City, will constitute a completely new review.
