Number: 19 Created: 5/23/2005
[5/23/05] Quantity detention is required if the improvements create more impervious than
5,000 sf or if the impervious area for the lots plus half the surrounding streets are greater
than 50%. Half of the adjacent streets were not included in the impervious calculation.
Please recalculate the impervious ratio using half of the streets. The new impervious ratio
will likely be greater than 50%_
Response: The preliminary drainage letter report has been resubmitted with revised
calculations including the imperviousness of one-half of the adjacent ROW. The letter
documents an imperviousness of 53.3 percent, which will generate an estimated peak
discharge of 0.19 cfs beyond what would be generated from the project at an
imperviousness of 50 percent. The increase in peak runoff is small, and no detention is
proposed. However, a note to the plat has been added that will ensure that the percent
imperviousness caused be the project will not exceed the 53 3 percent.

Response: A plan and profile of the proposed alley improvements is depicted on the utility
plans. A survey of improvements that the neighbor to the north has constructed along the
margins of the alley has been performed and the resulting spot information is depicted on
the plans. The survey data indicate that the neighbor encroached into the alley ROW with
landscape and concrete pad improvements. In order to avoid impact to these
encroachments/improvements, the proposed alley begins at the edge of these
encroachments. The alley ties to the existing alley apron

[5/12/05] Please provide minimum 50' offsite grading, especially for the property to the east.
It appears that the swale needs to be better designed around the comers to prevent flows
from entering the neighbor's property.

[5/12/05] Please add a detail for sidewalk widening. Also, the existing drive -over curb does
not match the current detail. Please provide a detail for the existing drive -over curb.
Response: A detail for sidewalk widening and a detail for removal of the existing sidewalk
along Laporte have been added to the plans. New curb and gutter will be installed only at
the location of the existing driveway cut to Laporte: a note on the plan view addresses this
construction and will be adequate to detail to the contractor what ought to be performed in
the field.

Number: 2 Created: 5/5/2005
[5/5/05] Installation of electric services to lots 2, 3, and 4 will be from the north side of lot 1.
The water & sewer services planned for the utility easement will preclude installation of
electric services in that location. It therefore appears there is no route available to provide
electric service to lots 2 & 4, or to maintain the electric service to lot 3. A utility coordination
meeting is encouraged.
Response: A utility coordination meeting was held on June 1, 2005. As discussed during
this meeting, proposed utility easements will be adequate to allow electric service to all four
lots.
Number. 3 Created: 5/5/2005
[5/5/05] Electric development and electric system modification costs will be charged to the

[5/12/05] Because alley improvements are required, a soils report is also required. Please
submit a geotechnical report per LCUASS.
Response: Acknowledged. A soils report has been ordered and wul pe submated to the Gty
when it becomes available.

(5/12/05] Please review plans for scanability (appendix E, LCUASS) and revise as
necessary. This comment applies to all plans, not just the utility plans.
Response: This is not a regular PDP. This application is just to create 4 lots through
platting. Peter Barnes in zoning can clarify this process if there is any confusion. There is
no site and landscape plan that will be recorded in association with this application. We
have provided an "Access and Parking" plan for illustrative purposes only, but it is not
intended that this plan be recorded. In talking with Peter Barnes he clarified that the level of
detail that is normally approved on the site and landscape plans will be required to be
r .,,n/ed no t ,-f the building permit r�-view.

[5/13/05] Concerns about sight distance from the proposed driveway on McKinley have
been raised. Please address sight distance from this driveway, especially to the north. At a
minimum, a sight distance easement across lot one will be needed for drivers at the
driveway and southbound drivers turning onto Leland to see each other.

[5/25/05] There is a question as to the classification of Laporte in this area, and whether it
should be a collector with parking or without parking. I will bring up this question at the next
Transportation Coordination meeting.
Response: The City, as a result of the referenced Transportation Coordination meeting,
determined that Laporte Avenue would be classified as a minor collector (with parking). The
applicant requested that the City reconsider this classification; the City replied in a letter
from Katie Moore dated June 21, 2005 that the classification would remain minor collector.
However, the City granted, for this project only (no precedent established), that the northern-
most five feet of land that would typically be dedicated as ROW and in which the sidewalk
would be constructed would instead be dedicated as a public access easement.

[5/12/05] An engineered plan and profile design for the alley is required prior to hearing.
Please provide alley design per LCUASS. Also, the width of alley paving should match the
width of the alley ROW. Please widen the alley to fit the ROW. Please provide preliminary
offsite design to a location north of the curve in the alley (to the east of this site). Please
show clearly how this will affect the lot to the north of the alley - will any of their landscaping
have to be removed? Driveway altered? Will the north edge of the alley tie in exactly to
existing grades or will easements be needed for grading. Provide spot elevations,
especially along the north edge of the alley, to show what is going on.

[5/12/05] Sidewalk improvements along all three street frontages will be required since
none of the walks meet ADA standards. Please provide the standard detached walk along
Laporte, at a minimum a 6' attached walk along McKinley and Leland (when adding to an
existing walk, the min. width of concrete to be added is 4'), detached would be preferred but
not required, and any area where the walk is outside of the ROW needs to be in a dedicated
public access easement_ The short stone walls will have to be removed completely or
moved back to a location at least 2' from the future back of walk.
Response: Sidewalk improvements per comment have been added to the utility plans: a
five-foot detached walk along Laporte Ave., and an additional 4 feet of walk abutted to the
existing attached walks along McKinley and Leland. The referenced public access
easement has been added to the plat. We acknowledge that providing the sidewalk
improvements as described will require the removal of the existing stone walls.
