See site, landscape and utility plans for other comments. Department: Water Wastewater Issue Contact: Roger Buffington Topic: Utility Plans Number: 62 Created: 6/10/2003 Add water service line detail. Department: Zoning Issue Contact: Peter Barnes Topic: Zoning Number: 15 Created: 4/8/2003 REPEAT COMMENT: Need to show building envelope dimensions and setback to McMurry. Their response letter states that the revised site plan shows the building envelope dimensions. However I don't see them. Number: 18 Created: 4/8/2003 REPEAT COMMENT: The way the drive -up is configured, I don't see how the stacking can accommodate more than 1 vehicle for 3 drive -up "windows". I don't believe that's acceptable. Original comment: In the event that a determination is made that 3 drive -up lanes does not violate the definition of "convenience shopping center", there does not appear to be adequate room for stacking of vehicles. There are several significant comments that must be addressed prior to this item going to a Planning and Zoning Board public hearing. Another round of review may be necessary; however, it is possible that this item could be scheduled for either a July 171h or August 71h public hearing if the main issues can be resolved auickly. If another round of review is going to be done then the proposal is subject to the 90-day revision re -submittal requirement (from the date of this comment letter, being June 18, 2003) as set forth in Section 2.2.11(A) of the Land Use Code. Be sure and return all of Your red -lined plans when you re submit The number of copies of each document to re -submit is shown on the attached Revisions Routing Sheet. 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. Yo&el Stevlt,,C City Planner Page 5 Topic: Grading Plans Number: 55 Created: 4/17/2003 6/12/03 Provide a swale cross section for the minor Swale that would drain the minor flows from the building frontage along Harmony. Why is a grated inlet at the manhole not possible to drain flows from that swale into the pipe rather then allowing flows to go over the pipe outlet into the swale? Good job on addressing most of my comments. This item is ready for hearing from my perspective. Topic: Storm 1 Profile Number: 76 Created: 6/12/2003 Please reverse the direction of Storm Sewer 1 profile so that the plan and profile views are in the same direction. Topic: Utility Plans Number: 54 Created: 4/17/2003 Please make sure that telephone company (US West or Qwest) is OK with the storm sewer being in their easement. Department: Transportation Planning Issue Contact: Tom Reiff Topic: Transportation Number: 63 Created: 6/11/2003 Please add an additional bike rack near the 'Plaza Area' in order to accommodate the required 5% bike parking and serve all the centers retail tenants. (see red lines) Number: 64 Created: 6/11/2003 Please make sure that the existing evergreen tree along the McMurry Ave. sidewalk does not protrude into the walk. If the tree needs to be trimmed up also keep in mind that an 8' clearance is required from walk to the canopy. Number: 65 Created: 6/11/2003 According to the LUC, section 3.2.2 (D.1) pedestrians shall be separated from vehicles by provision of a walk. Please add a 4' walk through the median from the back parking stalls to the bldg.'s main entrance (see red lines). Department: Water Wastewater Issue Contact: Jeff Hill Topic: General Number: 28 Created: 4/14/2003 As previously indicated, maintain the required landscape/utility separation distances on the landscape plans. Page 4 (6/11] Please remove any indication of right-of-way (14.12') being dedicated on Harmony Road. After further internal discussion, it was decided not to require the additional right-of-way dedication along Harmony Road due to the current right-of-way being able to accommodate the future edge of pavement and the 80' setback incorporating sidewalk and landscaping. By not requiring the right-of-way dedication, issues regarding CDOT approvals are no longer needed. Number: 46 Created: 4/17/2003 Ensure that the title to all the plans read as Golden Meadows Business Park 2nd Filing. [6/11/031 The site, landscape (and possibly building elevations) only have the label of "Golden Meadows 2nd Filing". Because this is the actual name of an existing filing, "Business Park" should be added. Topic: P/at Number: 59 Created: 6/4/2003 Provide access easements on the plat in the area where the sidewalk meanders outside of public right-of-way along McMurry Avenue. Department: Natural Resources Topic: General Issue Contact: Doug Moore Number: 79 Created: 6/16/2003 Tree Protection Standards need to be followed to protected the existing tree. 3.2.1(F) Utility Plans need to include trees protection notes and detail. Contact the City Forester for this information. Department: Police Topic: Encasement Detail Issue Contact: Joseph Gerdom Number: 78 Created: 6/12/2003 Comment letter indicates lighting issue will be resolved by emergency door location - do we know what the photometrics will be for the fixture proposed for these doors - will it provide 0.7fc @ 30feet? Department: Stormwater Utility Topic: Encasement Detail Number: 77 Issue Contact: Basil Hamdan Created:6/12/2003 Please call out on the utility plans how the joint of the existing manhole and the proposed A05 pipe will be joined. Reference detail on sheet 8. Page 3 clearly and distinctly separate from the drive-thru area, located on or within the building. There now, however, are two #12 notes. Number: 67 Created: 6/12/2003 A public access easement, behind the street right-of-way, is needed for the two sections of sidewalk along McMurry Avenue that meander outside of the right-of-way. The easement must be included on the subdivision plat. Number: 68 Created: 6/12/2003 Will the existing tree (evergreen?) on the east side of the meandering sidewalk along McMurry Avenue impede bicycle and pedestrian movement along the sidewalk? If so, measures must be taken to ensure that this impediment does not occur. Number: 69 Created: 6/12/2003 The bicycle rack at the northeast corner of the building must be labeled on the Site & Landscape Plans. Also, will it accommodate the number of bicycles to satisfy the 5% requirement set forth in Section 3.2.2(C)(4)(a) of the LUC? If not, another rack may have to be provided at the west end of the building, near the Plaza Area. Number: 70 Created: 6/12/2003 The Building Envelope must be dimensioned (scaled distance) from at least 2 adjacent property lines and currently it is shown dimensioned only from the line along East Harmony Road (the 80' setback line). Please show a dimension from either the east or west property line, or both. Number: 71 Created: 6/12/2003 Per Transportation Planning's comment, please add a north - south sidewalk connection in the island in the center of the parking lot to provide a pedestrian connection from the north tier of parking to the front of the building. This is shown on a red -lined Site Plan that is being forwarded to you. Department: Engineering Issue Contact: Marc Virata Topic: Genera/ Number: 36 Created: 4/16/2003 It doesn't appear that the ultimate design of Harmony Road (three through lanes) was accommodated into the site design. Please use the information provided on the "Harmony Road - Lemay Avenue to I-25 Horizontal Alignment" (C1-237) to accommodate for the future widening, providing right-of-way dedication and establishing setbacks from future edge of pavement. Additional right-of-way may be needed and the location of the building may need to be changed to ensure the 80' setback along the Harmony corridor.
