31 Crossings are shown in the profiles.
42 The waterline along the site will be abandoned. When the existing services were located in
the field, it was discovered that the irrigation tap is off of the main that was to be removed
rather than out of McMurry. After discussions with Roger Buffington, it was determined to
use the 8" main for a fire line and leave the existing tap alone.
Zoning — Peter Barnes:
13. The building height listed on the site plan was incorrect. Sorry! The building is actually
over 40' high and a shadow analysis has been submitted.
14. The bank in going to be one of four or five users in this building. All of the other
potential users fall into the primary use category. Additionally, Jay Stoner has met with
Peter Barnes and Steve Olt regarding the drive thru facilities. One lane is for commercial
use, one for standard use and one for ATM use.
15. Acknowledged.
16. ROW is being dedicated along McMurray with this project. The building will comply
with the build -to -line.
17. The walk along the south side of the building is for emergency access. .
18. The drive thru lane has been designed to allow two cars to be side by side at it's
narrowest point. Because of that, there should be adequate stacking.
19. All three of the parking islands contain poled mounted lights for the parking lot. On a
site this small it is difficult to find good locations for site lighting and utilities that do not
conflict with landscaping. We have selected a tree that will be 30'-35' feet high and 15'-
20' wide. This tree also has a great red fall color. We felt that this tree would be more
interesting and have fewer conflicts with the site lighting.
20. The ID signs has been removed.
21. Acknowledged.
22. See the landscape plan.
23. Acknowledged.
Stormwater — Basil Hamden:
56
The detention release has been clarified in the drainage report.
57
The swale will be piped with the revised plan — no bales are needed.
55
The Swale is being removed. The proposed 36" pipe is analyzed in the report. The overflow
is onto the property to the east, but it is into a drainage easement.
58
We are piping the existing swale.
54
The outfall pipe has been moved west of the telephone easement. The entire lot (outside of
the building envelope) is a utility and drainage easement.
Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely,

plan boundary that abuts potentially developable or redevelopable land.' If we
add the recommended connection, we will have two connections to the eastern
parcel that are about 140' apart. This seems to exceed the standard set forth in
the code. Why does the pedestrian trail across the front of the site not satisfy this
standard?
38
The variance was approved on May 7 2003.
39
A copy of the plat has been added.
46
The plans have been changed to Golden Meadows Second Filing.
44
The plat blocks have been revised.
47
All Technical services comments have been addressed.
43. The ROW will be dedicated at this time, the word future has been removed from
the drawing.
PFA — Michael Chavez:
32. The site has a blanket emergency access easement over it. There will also be A fire lane
through the parking lot where adjacent curbs shall be painted red and appropriate signage
utilized.
33. Acknowledged.
34. Acknowledged.
35. Acknowledged.
Police — Joseph Gordon:
26. Lighting — The lighting on the south and west sides of the building will comply with the
code regarding minimum light levels for safety. Typically, the building mounted lighting
will be determined once the tenant emergence doors have been finalized. These lights
will be cut off wall sconces or under canopy lights.
27. See above comment.
Transportation Planning — Mark Jackson:
24. The traffic study took into account the highest possible traffic generating users. At this
time, the tenants have not been determined. The Day Spa and Bank are very likely to be
tenants in this building, but nothing has been finalized.
25. The access along the south side of the building is for emergency access and primarily
employees.
Water Wastewater — Jeff Hill:
28. All existing utilities are now being shown on the landscape plans. Separation distances
29 Existing gas and electric are now shown. The transformer location was okayed at the UCM.
There is plenty of easement for the gas service wherever it ends up being).
30 The existing 36" waterline is immediately under the existing swale. The City (Stormwater
and Planning) is requiring that the swale be piped and this new pipe will need to daylight in
the swale until it is extended further east. It is assumed that the Water Department is OK

street connections to adjacent developable parcels by providing a local street
connection spaced at intervals not to exceed (600) feet along each development
