1. The utility plans must show where the gas main is.
2. The standard notes are needed on the utility plans.
Stormwater:
The lower 1/3 of the dete3ntion pond does not drain.
2. The proposed grading plan puts this site back into the floodplain.
3. The whole site needs to be raised to get it out of the floodplain.
Transportation Planning:
There are no connecting walkways to Blue Spruce Drive. How is this facility to be
used? Why are no pedestrian connections being provided?

time. Additional comments and red -lined plans may be forthcoming. Another round of
staff review is determined to be necessary. This proposal is subject to the 90-day

ON THE SEDIMENT/EROSION CONTROL PLAN SHEET. Delete the old City
notes on the cover sheet.
2. Please clarify your legend. Is the symbol that states "fence" silt fencing, or
some other type of fencing?
3. Please place on the erosion control plan the note from your report that states
the detention pond will be constructed first and utilized as a sediment trap
during construction. Then indicate on the plan in the area of the detention pond
whether the outlet is to be protected or if the pond is to be over -excavated.

[3/16/04] Is an asphalt swale at 0.6% sufficient to carry drainage flow? It seems

[3/15/04] The owner of the transmission line easement will need to provide a letter of
intent agreeing in principle to the development proposal. In general, having the
driveway access within this easement seems to be unusual, will the developer secure
permanent legal right for the operation of the driveway?

[3/15/04] The development illustrates a radius style driveway approach on the plans.
The Street Standards allow for the radial access in cases where there are more than
350 trips a day. The traffic report states that the site will generate less than 200
daily trips, thus the use of a radius style driveway is not to standards.

[3/16/04] Not required at this time but just as an FYI, provide legal descriptions for
the additional utility easement emergency access easement and slope easement for
review. The applicant will be required to provide the necessary deeds of dedication
and recording fees for these easements.

[3/19/04] Rick Lee of the Building Department offered the following comments:
n. The toilet rooms do not satisfy the requirements of accessibility, so an overview
of the requirements is attached to this letter.
b. It appears as if the use of each space in the building will fall within an F-1
occupancy as regulated by the Uniform Building Code.
C. Be aware that there may be some occupancy separation requirements between
other occupancies such as auto repair. Without proper separation the use of
these spaces may be limited.
d. A copy of the various codes that the Building Department will enforce is
attached to this letter.

[3/22/04] The Broadmoor and Buffalo Junipers (especially the Buffalo), in conjunction
with the Cotoneaster and Serviceberry, along the north and south property lines are a
little too low to provide good screening of the vehicular use areas. These evergreens
will be counted on to provide the bulk of the Winter screening. Please select a taller
variety of evergreen material
