[5/11/07] Need clarification regarding the proposed use(s). Application form states
"Collinwood Retail". Retail stores are not permitted in the MMN zone. Narrative calls it a
Personal Services Building. What is meant by that? Refer to Section 4.6(B) of the LUC for
list of permitted uses.
BHA -- The proposed/potential uses will meet the requirements of Article 5 of the Land Use
Code. It defines these uses as: services generally involving the care of the person or such
person's apparel or rendering services to business establishments such as laundry or dry-
cleaning retail outlets, portrait/photographic studious, beauty or barber shops, employment
service, or mailing or copy shops. The name of the project will be Collinwood North on future
submittals to limit confusion for the intended uses of the project.

[5/15/07] In the McClelland's/Mail Creek drainage basin onsite detention is required with a
0.2 cfs/ac release rate for the 10 year storm and a 0.5 cfs/acre release rate for the 100 year
storm. However in this case the capacity of the existing outfall system will control the release
rate. As was discussed at the PDR, using the existing release rate would be the safest
alternative. If the release rate were to be increased the outfall system would need to be
analyzed to show that it has the capacity with no negative downstream impacts. Extended
detention is required for water quality treatment. The existing pond outlet could be modified
if the water quality capture volume provided is for the entire area draining into the pond. An
alternative is to have a separate water quality pond that treated the runoff from the new
impervious area or some equal amount of the older area not presently being treated.
JR —Drainage has been designed to release at existing rate. Water quality will be added to
the existing pond Water Quality will be included in detention volume as discussed in meeting
with Gres Lamarque.

(5/14/07] The detention pond was designed using a developed coefficient of runoff of 0.56
over the whole 12 acre development. This yielded a detention pond volume of 1.77 acre feet.
The site needs to be analyzed with the new coefficient of imperviousness and the new rainfall
intensity curves. That will give us information on whether the 1.77 acre feet of existing
volume is enough for this site. If the proposed development falls at or below the existing
impervious area then no water quantity detention would be required, however water quality
would still need to addressed, and a water quality outlet structure would need to be installed.

[5/23/07] The first question asked in the applicant's letter dated May 1, 2007 for the
scheduled Preliminary Design Review related to building fenestration and architectural
treatments in compliance with the Zoning ordinance, referencing a required 3% offset for the
building fagade at no more than 100 foot spacings. The actual section of the Land Use Code
(LUC) where this requirement is located is Section 3.5.4(C)(1)(a)l, which deals with Large
Retail Establishments. This proposed development is not subject to the Large Retail
Establishments requirements. Sections 3.5.1 - Building and Project Compatibility and 3.5.3 -
Mixed -Use, Institutional and Commercial Buildings will apply, however.

least 2 sides of a large retail establishment featuring operational customer entrances. Again,
this development proposal will not be subject to the Large Retail Establishments
requirements. It will, however, be subject to the requirements set forth is Section 3.5.3(B) -
Relationship of Buildings to Streets, Walkways and Parking.
