An existing site survey and demolition plan is included in the civil construction drawings. The site shows to have over 90% of the tract covered in either pavement or building pad. The drainage is routed to the south to an existing Type A inlet and some is sheet flowing off the site. DEVELOPED CONDITIONS Since the site was previously developed, and this development will not add any additionally runoff or impervious cover, no detention is required. The commercial development is designed to capture most of the storm water runoff in proposed Type A inlets within the parking areas. There are two 18" storm line systems that tie into one existing Type A inlet, which has one 18" storm line exiting the inlet. The two 18" storm systems have a total of 476 linear feet of proposed storm pipe at 0.50% slope, which will convey 7.43 cfs, per system. One system captures 0.44 acres and with a runoff coefficient "C" of .87 and a time of concentration of 10 minutes giving an intensity of 11.64 in/hr. During the 100-year event a flow of 4.46 cfs is generated. This flow is less than the 7.43 cfs the system can convey. The second system captures 0.38 acres and with a runoff coefficient "C" of .85 and a time of concentration of 10 minutes giving an intensity of 11.64 in/hr. During the 100-year event a flow of 3.76 cfs is generated. This flow is less than the 7.43 cfs the system can convey.

I will take your comments and revise the exterior elevation renderings to show things as you have noted with the window awnings and pilasters. On the stucco the drive thru structure is also covered with stucco. On the roof colors I looked thru the list and it appeared that the color Regatta SW6517 was very close to the file://C:\Documents and Settings\jflanery\Local Settings\Temp\GW}00002.HTM 8/12/2005 Page 2 of 5 Royal Blue metal roof color that we submitted. Chase would very much like to use that color if it is allowed on the cities color palette. Let me know if that is not the case and we will come up with something else.

Item 1. We are overnighting material samples of the roof and stucco finishes for the Chase project. This design is for a national prototype exterior and is used to help create an identifiable building image for Chase. Item 2. FRONT elevation: The front facade (not including the canopy) is 60 feet long. The City's Unified Development Ordinance 7.9.C. states that "The geometric plane of the front or main building facade shall use architectural relief every forty-five feet to provide visual interest by incorporating a minimum of two(2)design elements from the following options:canopies, wall plane projections or recessions, vertical expression of structure,pilasters, columns, bay windows, balconies, recessed entries, stoops, porches, arcades, permanent decorative awnings, and or windows accompanined by overhangs.." As noted we have included a wall plane projection from the building and a recessed entry which meets the requirement of two elements. Please let me know if I am not interpreting the requirements of this section of the Ordinance correctly. SIDE 1, 2, REAR elevations: The other facades (not including the front entry of the building) are 60 feet long. The City's Unified Development Ordinance 7.9.0 states that ".. Along all other facades visible from the right of way, there shall be some architectural relief or wall recession or projection every sixty feet as described herein." My interpretation of this statement is that at least one design element is required for every 60 feet of building not on the main facade. We had submitted previously that the side and back elevations have windows accompanied by overhangs as a design element as detailed in the attached PDF file of our wall section. If this does not meet the requirements for windows accompanied by overhangs please let me know and we will address these other elevations. Also please let me know if I am not interpreting the requirements of this section of the Ordiance correctly. If you have any questions or comments about the information above please let me know and we look forward to completing the permitting for this project in College Station. Thanks for your help.

I have a couple of comments in response: 1. Please provide color samples of the roof and stucco (I assume the drive thru structure is also stucco?). The colors shown on the elevations (as they looked on my computer/ printer) are not approved colors. 2. Again, the elevations are not meeting Section 7.9.0 of the Unified Development Ordinance for the following reasons: FRONT elevation: The front facade (which does not include the drive thru structure) requires 4 design elements. The front elevation includes a projection from the building and a recessed entry. A canopy has not been included to 'break up' this facade SIDE 1 elevation: This facade does not include the projection from the front of the building, so is only 60 feet in length. Because it is 60 feet, 2 different design elements are required. An "overhanging roof system" is not an approved design element to meet the requirement. No elements have been provided on this facade. SIDE 2 elevation: This facade does not include the projection from the front of the building, so is only 60 feet in length. Because it is 60 feet in length, 2 different design elements are required. Because the drive thru structure does serve to 'break up' this facade, I will allow you to count this as a 'canopy.' An "overhanging roof system" is not an approved design element to meet the requirement. One more element is required on this facade. REAR elevation: This elevation must also provide the required architectural relief(2 elements for each 60' or lesser section) as it is highly visible from Holleman Drive.

Chase Bank uses a National Prototypical building design to provide a standardized image for the bank and its customers nationwide. If actual samples of the materials are needed they can be provided. Item 2 - Each elevation of the building has additional information which describes how the facade will comply with Section 7.9 C of the Unified Development Ordinance. Item 3 - Stucco will only cover 39% of the front facade as noted in the attached exterior renderings. The breakdown of exterior materials is shown on the front facade. file://C:\Documents and Settings\jflanery\Local Settings\Temp\GW}00002.HTM 8/12/2005 Page 5 of 5 Item 4 - Plaster on our drawings and elevations is a "generic" term.

Item 1. We are overnighting material samples of the roof and stucco finishes for the Chase project. This design file://C:\Documents and Settings\jflanery\Local Settings\Temp\GW}00002.HTM 8/12/2005 Page 2 of 4 is for a national prototype exterior and is used to help create an identifiable building image for Chase. Item 2. FRONT elevation: The front facade (not including the canopy) is 60 feet long. The City's Unified Development Ordinance 7.9.C. states that "The geometric plane of the front or main building facade shall use architectural relief every forty-five feet to provide visual interest by incorporating a minimum of two(2)design elements from the following options:canopies, wall plane projections or recessions, vertical expression of structure, pilasters, columns, bay windows, balconies, recessed entries, stoops, porches, arcades, permanent decorative awnings, and or windows accompanined by overhangs.." As noted we have included a wall plane projection from the building and a recessed entry which meets the requirement of two elements. Please let me know if I am not interpreting the requirements of this section of the Ordinance correctly. SIDE 1, 2, REAR elevations: The other facades (not including the front entry of the building) are 60 feet long. The City's Unified Development Ordinance 7.9.0 states that ".. Along all other facades visible from the right of way, there shall be some architectural relief or wall recession or projection every sixty feet as described herein." My interpretation of this statement is that at least one design element is required for every 60 feet of building not on the main facade. We had submitted previously that the side and back elevations have windows accompanied by overhangs as a design element as detailed in the attached PDF file of our wall section. If this does not meet the requirements for windows accompanied by overhangs please let me know and we will address these other elevations. Also please let me know if I am not interpreting the requirements of this section of the Ordiance correctly. If you have any questions or comments about the information above please let me know and we look forward to completing the permitting for this project in College Station. Thanks for your help.

I have a couple of comments in response: 1. Please provide color samples of the roof and stucco (I assume the drive thru structure is also stucco?). The colors shown on the elevations (as they looked on my computer/ printer) are not approved colors. 2. Again, the elevations are not meeting Section 7.9.0 of the Unified Development Ordinance for the following reasons: FRONT elevation: The front facade (which does not include the drive thru structure) requires 4 design elements. The front elevation includes a projection from the building and a recessed entry. A canopy has not been included to 'break up' this facade SIDE 1 elevation: This facade does not include the projection from the front of the building, so is only 60 feet in length. Because it is 60 feet, 2 different design elements are required. An "overhanging roof system" is not an approved design element to meet the requirement. No elements have been provided on this facade. SIDE 2 elevation: This facade does not include the projection from the front of the building, so is only 60 feet in length. Because it is 60 feet in length, 2 different design elements are required. Because the drive thru structure does serve to 'break up' this facade, I will allow you to count this as a 'canopy.' An "overhanging roof system" is not an approved design element to meet the requirement. One more element is required on this file://C:\Documents and Settings\jflanery\Local Settings\Temp\GW}00002.HTM 8/12/2005 Page 3 of 4 facade. REAR elevation: This elevation must also provide the required architectural relief(2 elements for each 60' or lesser section) as it is highly visible from Holleman Drive. Please let me know if you have any further questions! Thanks!

Chase Bank uses a National Prototypical building design to provide a standardized image for the bank and its customers nationwide. If actual samples of the materials are needed they can be provided. Item 2 - Each elevation of the building has additional information which describes how the facade will comply with Section 7.9 C of the Unified Development Ordinance. Item 3-Stucco will only cover 39% of the front facade as noted in the attached exterior renderings. The breakdown of exterior materials is shown on the front facade. Item 4 - Plaster on our drawings and elevations is a"generic"term. The areas shown as Portland Cement Plaster are an exterior Stucco system by La Habra Stucco.
