Number: 9 Created: 11 / 7 / 2006 [11/7/061 West elevation suggestion: Use the same window configuration on each side of the entrance to keep a symmetrical look. Acknowledged. Number: 10 Created: 11 / 7 / 2006 [ 11 / 7 / 06] Elevations depict the main entrance on the west side with a double door. The Site Plan shows the west side with a single door. Please clarify. Double doors will be used. This has been corrected. It has been determined that this development request could possibly be placed on the agenda for the January 18, 2007 Planning & Zoning Board public hearing. However, there are some issues and concerns with various City departments that must be addressed before this item could go to the Board. This could be done through another formal round of review (if re- submitted quickly) or by working directly with the appropriate representatives of the departments. Staff will be setting the P & Z Board agenda on December 20, 2006. Be sure and return all red -lined plans when you re -submit. If you have any questions regarding these issues or any other issues related to this project, please feel free to call me at 221-6341.

No. Number: 36 Created: 11 / 21 / 2006 [11/21/06] See plans for other comments. Acknowledged and corrected. Department: Zoning Issue Contact: Jenny Nuckols Topic: ZOMNG Number: 2 Created: 11 / 7 / 2006 [11/7/061 Please remove topography lines from the final Site Plan. This has been done.

Number: 7 Created: 11 / 7 / 2006 Page 9 Topic: Stormwater Number: 25 Created: 11 / 21 / 2006 [ 11 / 21 / 06] Please discuss in detail the reasoning behind this site only detaining for on -site runoff and not off -site runoff from the north and west. In the discussion, describe where the other lots that are undeveloped will detain and outfall. This is needed because this proposal is changing the existing design for all 4 of these lots. Please discuss how the interim (existing) undeveloped off -site flows will drain. This site may need to route these off -site flows through the site. Please remove discussion with City Staff in the text and only include the explanations. Additional information was added to the text of the report. Number: 26 Created: 11 / 21 / 2006 [ 11 / 21 / 06] The .06 cfs release rate for the detention pond is impractical (being less than the water quality release rate) and also will probably have clogging problems. It is suggested that you request a variance to allow basin F to release undetained and keep the detention pond release rate equal to the site release rate of .36 cfs. This will allow for a practical release and still provide adequate detention and still improve the situation for the regional downstream drainage system. The release rate was revised. Number: 27 Created: 11 / 21 / 2006 [11/21/061 The minimum size for storm sewers is 15 inches. This is for clogging purposes. Please revise storm sewers 2 and 3 to 15 inches. Storm sewer 1 can stay at 10 inches as the drainage area is extremely small. Storm pipes 2 & 3 were revised to 15 inch pipe. Number: 28 Created: 11 / 21 / 2006 [ 11 / 21 / 06] Please use the City standard water quality outlet structure detail. I can email you this new detail.

We will be dedicating a pedestrian access easement and a 9' utility easement behind it.

Page 4 Number: 60 Created: 11 / 28/ 2006 [11/28/06] A request for a modification of the standard set forth in Section 3.5.3 of the Land Use Code, regarding the required "build -to" lines, must be submitted for review by staff and the Planning and Zoning Board. The Housing Services Day Center building does not satisfy this standard as it relates to Blue Spruce Drive. It is 17' from the street right-of-way. * Also, Neither the Housing Services Day Center building nor the future building on Lot 2 satisfy the standard set forth in Section 4.28(E)(2)(b) of the Land Use Code. Their setbacks from Conifer Street must be no more than 30' from the street right-of-way for at least 30% of the building face and they are shown as being 45' to 50' from the right-of- way. Therefore, a request for a modification of this standard must be submitted for review by staff and the Planning and Zoning Board. * Please reference Section 2.8.2(H) of the Land Use Code for the criteria to use in the requests for modifications of the standards. Steve Olt confirmed that we do not have to adhere to the regulations of Land Use Code #3.5.3 because 4.28 takes presidence. However, I have reviewed 4.28 again and I show that we are meeting all of the regulations of this section. Steve's email is attached.

How many bicycles can the rack as shown accommodate? This should be indicated on the Site Plan. This bike rack can easily accommodate 7 bikes. The detail has been added to the site plan. Number: 56 Created: 11 /28/2006 [11/28/061 If the future 5,000 square foot building on Lot 2 were to develop as General Office use then there would be 2 parking spaces too many on that lot (3 spaces/ 1,000 square feet of building, per the Land Use Code). These spaces have been removed. Number: 57 Created: 11 / 28/ 2006 [11/28/061 What does EXT. mean in the fenced stor'g. areas? EXT means exterior. This label has been removed and a symbol has been added to the legend instead.
