A street cut permit may be required. Department: Stormwater-Water-Wastewater Issue Contact: Basil Harridan Topic: Stormwater Number: 10 Created: 3/28/2006 [3/28/06] Since the site is already developed, no water quantity requirements will need to be met. Technically, since this is a redevelopment project, the site would have to meet water quality requirements, however, if some water quality methods are incorporated into the design, such as the use of disconnected impervious areas, then no water quality detention would be required. Topic: WaterMastewater Number: 11 Created: 3/28/2006 [3/28/06] Will a cafeteria be added with this new use? If yes, then a grease trap may be needed.

With the limited information provided we notice that the facility will need to obtain a new certificate of occupancy and compliance to all of the code requirements would apply. It may be helpful to schedule a pre -submittal meeting with the Building Department to address submittal requirements. Number: 3 Created: 3/27/2006 [3/27/06] Please show total floor area, total land area, total number of parking spaces, parking stall dimensions, building height and street names. Number: 4 Created: 3/27/2006 [3/27/06] Are the landscaped islands in the proposed hard surface play area going to remain? Perhaps the landscaping could be better incoroporated into the play area so that it does not look like it is still a parking lot. Number: 6 Created: 3/27/2006 [3/27/06] Six percent of all parking lot interior space should be landscape area. Number: 7 Created: 3/27/2006 [3/27/06] Instead of limiting access via railroad ties, please close the drive aisle completely and connect the sidewalks and landscape areas. Number: 9 Created: 3/28/2006 [3/28/06] Three handicap spaces are generally required for parking lots with 51-75 total spaces. Department: Engineering Issue Contact: Susan Joy Topic: General Number: 12 Created: 3/28/2006 [3/28/06] Please route Traffic Engineering a copy of the TIS and plans for their review if this hasn't already been done. Number: 13 Created: 3/28/2006 [3/28/06] The drive entrances, exits, and aisles need to be one lane only. The. plan currently shows 2 lanes in and 2 lanes out. This is impossible as there is only one receiving lane outbound. Also, the TIS recommends that there be only one inbound lane for safety reasons. Page 1
