where it would be required based on the height of the wall. E.g., it appears that the
minimum south side setback requirement would be 11' based on the 29'+ wall height. The
north would be 16' or more.

[11/20/09] The Chamber of Commerce building can be used to establish a contextual

[11/30/09] Engineering has determined that this project will not be responsible for alley
improvements to the existing alley in the rear of the property. However the project is
responsible for the undergrounding of the overhead line(s). If this can not be done at this
time the project will be responsible for providing conduit for the future undergrounding. If the
line will be in the grass buffer along the alley (outside of the ROW) an easement will be
required.

Topic: Fire
Number: 29 Created: 11 /24/2009
Thank you for your responses dated Nov. 4, 2009. Most fire -department -related issues have
been resolved, due to our meetings and correspondence prior to now. The fire line
requirement seems to have been resolved after involving Roger Buffington, as well. Also, a
water -flow test showed that there is a fire hydrant within 300 feet that meets the minimum
flow/residual pressure requirement of 1,500 gpm/20 psi. However, at some point in the
future if the 4-inch water line is replaced, PFA would like the hydrant on this line (Meldrum
and Olive streets) to be moved one block north, to Oak and Meldrum streets). This likely
won't be an Otter Box issue at that point, so this is more of a written record on the part of
PFA to request the hydrant location change.

Just an FYI that for any patio above grade, any type of controlled reentry into the building -
such as prox cards or fobs - are not allowed in the Fire/Building codes. This is an egress
issue we deal with on a regular basis so I thought I'd provide advanced notice. Contact me if
you have questions.

[11/19/09] The proposed drive entrances need to be shown in a proposed (heavier) line
weight.

[11/19/09] On all sheets please make sure that the existing line weights are lighter than the
proposed line weights so the difference on the plan is obvious and clear.

[11/20/09] Per LCUASS, no more than 750 sq. ft. (measured from behind the ROW line)
can drain across a drive approach. On both drive entrances, there is much more than the
750 sq ft that is draining towards the street. A curb chase may be required to take some of
the drainage off the drive entrance to ensure that it does not impede on the sidewalk ramps.
