Please provide further details and information for the walkway connection from the parking lot to Wagner to
ensure a safe condition for bikes and peds. Along the retaining wall and detention area.

Topic: General
15
Show and label all existing water/sewer mains, water/sewer services, meter pits, curb stops, and sizes of
existing water sewer appurtenances.
16
Will the existing water and sewer services be adequate for the proposed development? Will a fire line be
required? Provide all info necessary for our review (i.e. fixture count, fire line size, etc.).

Please remove landscaping from the site plan - just show on landscape plan
Label building dimensions on the site plan
4
How wide is the alley? Is there adequate back-up distance for the parking stalls
5
There are no HC ramps being shown at the HC spaces
I donl see any bike racks noted on the site plan. Please show and label
7
For aesthetic purposes, I would move the trash enclosure to the other side of the parking lot and the
landscaped island closer to the building.
Compact parking spaces need to have signage addressing them as such
9
Street trees need to be added along Birch
10
Need to add foundation plantings
11
Why "sand" in front of the building facing into the parking lot

32
The 15-inch pond outlet pipe will not transition well with the sidewalk chase at the end of the pipe. A 12-inch
pipe would be allowed in this situation due to the outfall having to be released at grade. A flared -end
section may also be needed. Please reconfigure.
33
Please add corner lot elevations to the grading plan and the City's vertical control benchmark used on the
cover sheet.
34
Are grades not changing on the northeast corner of the site? Please add proposed contours to this area due
to new building footprint being proposed here.
35
In house calculations showed the volume needed in the pond was around 3000 cf. This would put the WSEL
at just under 5032. Since the weir invert is at this same elevation, and the berm around the pond is an
additional 1 foot for freeboard, the pond is OK as designed. The pond is essentially acting as if the 100-WSEL
is at 5032 anyway. MOE are at least 1 foot higher as well.
36
A drainage easement is needed for the extent of the 100-year WSEL of the detention pond and for the outlet
stormsewer. This can be done by separate document if there is no replat.
Topic: ErosionlSediment Control
28
1. Your plan doesn't show any BMP's (that I can find).
2. Your EFF calculations indicate existing/established grass as a BMP, yet the site appears to be completely
utilized for development. How does this all fit together?
3. What is the plan for revegetation of disturbed areas?
4. Why is the detention pond not being utilized as a sediment trap during construction?
Department: Transportation Planning Issue Contact: Tom Reiff
Topic: Transportation
21
Please identify and label access ramps on all plan sets. Also design ramps to allow for bike access to racks
22
Walkways need to be 6 feet in width where cars overhang. Please increase the width of the walk around the
building to 6 feet. This can be accomplished by decreasing the length of the parking stalls to 17 feet, instead
of 18 feet.
23
Suggest that the trash enclosure be relocated to the other side of the drive aisle and further west near the
alley. This will allow for a access ramp and walk to facilitate bike and pedestrian circulation to the building
from the parking lot as well as the trash enclosure. It will also allow for more landscaping near the entrances
to the units.
24
Scale on the site plan is incorrect. Should be 1" = 20'.
25
Compact parking on alley should be signed and striped for small cars so as not to impede the alley. From
experience with the parking structure signage should read "Small Car Parking Only - No Trucks".

54
Add the following note where the pavement will be cut to install the curb chase(s). Limits of street cut are
approximate. Final limits are to be determined in the field by the City Engineering Inspector. All repairs to be
in accordance with City street repair standards.
55
What do the walls look like? Need to provide details and x-sections of the walls. Provide top of wall and
bottom of wall elevations. Are these retaining walls or just landscape walls?
56
How does the 15 in dia drainage pipe tie into the 4 5/8 in high curb chase?

Topic: ' Drainage
26
Please change the C- factors for the 100-year flows and recalculate flows and volume needed for pond.
See drainage report.
27
Please provide 40-hour extended water quality volume for this site using the City's standard water quality
outlet structure. The grades should allow for this outlet structure.
31
Please provide existing contours to 50 feet off of the property line around the perimeter of site and show
proposed grading ties into existing contours.

An access easement needs to be dedicated for the access driveway. An access easement does not exist
here unless it was dedicated by separate document at some time. If so please provide the reception
number and a copy of the easement. If half of the drive is on the adjacent property, an access easement
on that property is needed as well.
39 `
Need to see 150 feet of off site area surrounding the lot. What is there - need to show grade lines beyond
the property boundaries.
40
There is a 40-foot parking setback for the parking spaces on the driveway from the street. This will eliminate a
few spaces.
41
What is the actual pavement width of the private drive? Is it wide enough to provide the head in parking
you are showing and the parallel parking that is existing (or being done) today on the west side?
42
Sidewalk in front of the parking spaces needs to be a minimum of b feet wide. It is being shown as 4 feet.
43
What is the width of the existing sidewalk on Birch? May need to be widened if it doesn't meet requirements.
44
Drainage can not drain across the sidewalk from the private drive. It will need to get out to the street via a
sidewalk chase or an inlet.
45
Will need to dedicate easements as needed for the site either by separate document or by plat if you end
up replacing.
46
Need to provide curb and gutter details.
47
What is the proposed parkway width on Wagner? The walk needs to go around the fire hydrant
48
Need to dedicate row to the back of the new sidewalk on Wagner.
49
No sewer services are shown.
50
Use current general notes. See appendix E-1 of LCUASS
51
Provide applicable construction notes from appendix E-1 of LCUASS

Issue Contact: Bob Barkeen
The site does not include a central feature or gathering place which meets the requirements of Section
4.5(D)(3) of the Land Use Code. Such an are may be incorporated into the entry features of the building from
Birch or Wagner Drive.
58
The landscape plan needs to include foundation plantings along Birch and Wagner Drives. Also, the areas
around the rear balconies should include some landscaping, rather than just sand.
The upright junipers should be replaced with a lower shrub on the for left island (for visibility).
59
The building entrances onto Birch and Wagner Drive need to be designed to be a substantial part of the
building. The entrances should also be a functional part of the building, allowing residences to access the
building off of Birch or Wagner Drive, then to each unit.
60
Will the trash enclosure be better located across the parking lot in the adjacent island? It looks like there may
be additional room for it here.
61
The sidewalks leading to the rear of the site should be increased in width adjacent to vehicle overhang
areas. Also, the sidewalk leading from the east may be better served if located adjacent to the building
rather than adjacent to the retaining walls.
Please include details of the retaining walls on the site plan. It will need to be noted on the site plan the
elevation of the retaining walls.
62
Please indicate window wells and other overhang (stairs, balconies, etc.) on the site plan. Please include the
breakdown of the number of bedrooms/unit for proposed units.
63
A vehicle turn -around area will need to be provided at the end of the parking lot.

The existing plat has a 30-foot BSB (building setback line) line adjacent to all row. The building you are
proposing goes beyond this line. I don't know for sure how you can get rid of this line. Since it is on the plat,
a replat maybe required.
