Palle l?
2. As discussed at the project review meeting, it appears that there may be excessive
parking for a self -serve carwash. Please delete unnecessary parking from the seven
spaces near the project entrance. 2 spaces were deleted from the parking area just
south of the entry. These spaces will be used for employees, management staff and
vendors. The applicant will provide vacuum stations at each of the parking spaces
south of the building. Unlike most car washes, these vacuum stations will be provided
at no charge to their customers. Past experience at other installations similar to this
one warrants the need for the quantity as shown.
3. On the site plan, please provide directional arrows for vehicle circulation, and please
delete the contour and existing utility layers. Directional arrows shown as requested.
Contours deleted as well as existing utility layers.
4. On the site and landscape plans, please label and dimension the 50-foot buffer from
the drip line of the riparian zone. Shown as requested.
5. Please indicate the species, height, maturity and quality of the five trees that are
proposed to be removed. Are these trees considered significant? Can these trees be
transplanted? Only Siberian elms and Russian olives are nuisance trees that require
no mitigation. Native cotton -bearing cottonwood trees, female boxelder trees, when
located in a natural area buffer zone, are not nuisance tree species. Tree protection
standards are found in Section 3.2.1(F). The project Landscape Architect met with
Forestry representatives on site to determine significance of the existing trees. Of the
5 trees shown on the east side of the site, 3 of them were considered to be significant
and are mitigated in the landscape treatments placed along the Riparian Corridor. The
other 2 trees on the east side of the site as well as the 2 trees on the west side of the
site were determined to be insignificant and will be removed.
6. On the architectural elevations, the materials are referenced by brand name colors.
Please provide color samples. Photographic color samples are provided for your use.
If actual samples are required, please advise.
7. Please specify that the standing seam metal awning — galvalume — is a solid material.
Since illuminated awnings are prohibited, please state that such awning is to be
opaque and not translucent. All awning materials will be solid, opaque materials, as
noted on the elevation sheet (5 of 7).
8. On the lighting plan, the Luminaire Schedule does not include F-1 wall packs. Please
S e corrected Lighting Plan pg 7 of 7.
9. Staff is concerned about the amount of lighting under the awnings. If every awning
requires lighting, can the amount of illumination be reduced? The specifications
indicate that the fixture is available with one lamp instead of two. Have you considered
compact fluorescent lamps for energy conservation? Two lamps for 13 awnings is
\ excessive, especially on the south side facing the 50-foot riparian buffer zone. The
awnings will effectively reduce the actual output; Florescent lamps are placed in each
of the fixtures. Please review corrections to the lighting plan.
10. The double headed pole light by the trash enclosure could be down -graded to a single
by deleting the eastern fixture. As it is, there is too much illumination thrown onto the

[11/28/06] "Vacuum typ" is pointing to the head of one of the parking spaces in front of the
equipment bay - please review this and note the actual location of the vacuum locations.
There will be a vacuum canister placed on the parking lot striping in front of the curb at each
parking space. The parking spaces are shown 14' wide to accommodate for these canisters
and to provide room for patrons to vacuum their cars. If a detail and elevation of the actual
canister and canister placement is needed, it is requested that this be provided at the time of
final compliance. Various vendors have been consulted for this item and the final model has
not yet been selected.

[11/28/06] A trellis is being shown along the length of the sidewalk near the equipment bay.
What is the width of the sidewalk along that area? It may need to be wider as the trellis
could impede pedestrians as well as wheelchairs. Please review this. The trellis shown V
behind the 6'-6" walk will serve as a channel for the vacuum hoses. A curb stop will be
placed 1 ' in front of the curb to allow for a total 2' overhang. The cedar post is a 4x4,
leaving 5'-2" sidewalk clearance between the trellis posts and the face of the building. The
windows, dormers and awnings do not project into this clearance space.

Number: 11 Created: 12/1 /2006
[12/1/06] Plat - There is a discrepancy on the ROW dedication. For the ROW on Mulberry
not within the cul-de-sac turn around, please show a total of 137 feet of proposed ROW
measured from the centerline of Mulberry. As discussed in prior emails and telephone calls,
a total of 141 feet of ROW dedication would be required, from existing Mulberry curb, for the
cul-de-sac turn around however, it was proposed that the detached sidewalk could be
constructed with an access easement to the City therefore, only requiring 136 feet of ROW
dedication. Please clearly show and dimension the existing and proposed ROW dedications
on the Plat, measured from centerline of Mulberry and from the existing curbline of Mulberry.
See redlines for clarification. An additional 11.55' is shown as R.O.W. dedication to allow

retaining walls may be located within utility easements without approval by all of the utility
providers. You may need to relocate the wall or the easement. The retaining wall is needed
