[8/17/07] The justification for no detention is incorrect. If the site exceeds 5000 square feet
of additional impervious area then detention and water quality is required. A suggested
route to decrease impervious area is to use pervious pavement material which will also be
an effective water quality BMP.

Topic: Fire
Number: 33 Created: 8/15/2007
[8/15/07] EMERGENCY VEHICLE ACCESS: My only potential concern for the project is
access to buildings on the northeast comer of the property (the garages/studios), based on
UFC 902.2.1: "Fire access roads (fire lanes) shall be provided for every facility, building or
portion of a building hereafter constructed or moved into or within the PFA's jurisdiction
when any portion of the facility or any portion of an exterior wall of the first story of the
building is located more than 150 feet from fire apparatus access as measured by an
approved route around the exterior of the building or facility." However, we also make the
following provision concerning access: "If a fire lane cannot be provided, the building shall
be fire sprinklered." Because these garages/studio units are equipped with automatic fire
sprinklers and they are only two stories in height, they meet PFA's access requirements.

[8/14/07] The alley intersection driveway will need to be reconstructed per LCUASS
Drawing 803 provided. A few things to be noted regarding this standard intersection design:
Pedestrian ramps are required on both sides of the driveway. No more than 0.5 cfs for the
Design 2 year storm may drain over the sidewalk (alley flows and detention area flows
combined). No part of the building structure may encroach into the ROW dedicated at the
corner for sight distance. The driveway shall intersect Maple Street at 90 degrees with
radius comers on both sides.
Number: 13 Created: 8/14/2007
[8/14/07] There is an existing poor drainage condition in the alley pan on the east side that
results in standing water. It appears to be caused by tree roots lifting the concrete. You
may utilize the existing pan in your alley design however, you will need to reconstruct the
pan and curb and gutter on the east side as needed to fix the problem. Please show the
limits of reconstruction on the alley design plan and provide sufficient flow line elevation data
to verify positive drainage is provided.

building height is 45 feet, however, there is a general standard that applies to buildings city-
wide over 40 feet, which requires a special height review. The Review Standards are
located in Section 3.5.1 (G). There are a few additional submittal items that are required too
including a shadow study, a visual analysis and a written analysis. These must be reviewed
prior to your administrative hearing.
