11/15/2011: The inlet on the east parking lot will not allow water to enter the detention pond up
to the 100-year water surface elevation. Water needs to be able to drain into the pond for the
duration of the 100-year storm. Another inlet set at the 100-year water surface elevation along
the parking lot gutter would resolve this issue.

11/16/2011: There are easements on this site that the building will be built over. These
easements will need to be vacated.
rate would be between 19-21 Ibs/PLS and would ideally be drill seeded between 1/4 - 1/2"
deep. Also, the use of a Kentucky Bluegrass hybrid (which ultimately uses less water and is
more drought tolerant) is also recommended. Thanks!

11/17/2011: This comment is offered. At the SE area of the site the curb that runs east and west
by 6 parking places is very close to 4 walnut trees that are shown to be retained. Standard curb
with grading will likely damage the root system. The curb near these trees needs further
discussion and review because of how close it is to the trees. Forestry is available to meet on
site to review and discuss.

11/17/2011: Fallgold Ash is used as a street tree. This species is not on the City street tree list.
Select a species from the street tree list such as Skyline Honeylocust or Bur Oak to replace
Fallgold Ash.
Maximize use of canopy shade trees in the parkway with ornamental trees being used near
street lights. Ornamental trees should be at least 15 feet from street lights, and shade trees 40
feet.

the south side of Summer Street. It appears to be on the property line. Will it be retained or
impacted by the proposed construction. It provides a nice vegetative barrier between the
properties.

11/15/2011: As I understand it the following easements by separate document are to be
dedicated.
10 foot access easement (NS across site)
Emergency access and access easement (from Summer to Lake)
8 feet of row (along Lake Street)
9 foot utility easement (along Lake Street)
Drainage easement for detention pond
I can provide you with draft language for these documents; just let me know who you want it
emailed to. There is a $250 processing fee (TDRF) for each easement dedication and the
applicant is responsible for the recording fees for each document. The recording fees typically
are between $31 and $51 per document, the final amount being dependent on the number of
pages each document is.

11/15/2011: Existing plat
Comment Originated: 11/15/2011
Assuming that the property is platted and that plat is the Lake Street Townhomes, then although
the right-of-way was vacated by Ordinance #72, 1995 all the easements that were platted on that
plat still exist and should be shown on these plans. Other than the utility easements that will be
running under the proposed building I don't think the existing easements will hurt anything you
have proposed. It does seem you should vacate the easements that will be under the
building. The processing fees for an easement vacation are $400 (TDRF) per each type of
vacation. I will need the application fee and a drawing showing (a marked up plat will do.for
now) showing the area(s) proposed for vacation in order to route the request out to the utilities.
Once we know it is okay to vacate the utility easement I will need a legal description prepared
by a licensed surveyor and sketch describing and showing the area being vacated. The
vacation resolution can be approved administratively and the applicant is responsible for the
filing fees to record the document.

it be a darker tone than the building field.

On the Lighting Plan, there are ten locations where the foot-candle measurement, 20 feet west
of the property line, are greater than one -tenth. This should be addressed as the two adjoining
properties are residential. Please consider moving the fixtures further east and/or providing an
automatic dimmer switch to lower the foot-candles after 10:00 p.m.

11/15/2011: Sheet C.6 -on the Summer Street connection enlargement you are showing the
addition of 3.45 feet to the existing sidewalk. Standards allow for a minimum of 4 foot in width
to be added, so this needs to be changed to show that 4 feet is being added not 3.45. Also
adding to the sidewalk can only be done if the existing sidewalk is in good condition, so the
following note needs to be added to this detail. Four feet of additional sidewalk shall be
added to this existing sidewalk between the property line and the driveway to the east
providing that the existing sidewalk is deemed in good shape by the City Engineering
Inspector. If the City Engineering Inspector deems the existing sidewalk needs to be repaired
or replaced due to damage, heaving, and/ or breakage the existing curb, gutter, and sidewalk
shall be replaced with a vertical curb and 6 foot minimum sidewalk. If this occurs the curb
transition shall move west to the most western curb panel being replaced.

On the Landscape Plan, it is unclear whether or not any significant trees are to be removed.
Staff is concerned about the removal of the 24-inch Walnut. If so, please indicate and then also
indicate how and where these trees are to be mitigated per Section 3.2.1(F).
