Water Supply : No Commercial building can be greater then 300 feet from a fire hydrant. Fire hydrants are required with
a maximum spacing of 600 feet along an approved roadway. Each hydrant must be capable of delivering 1500 gallons
of water per minute at a residual pressure of 20 psi. 97 UFC 901.2.2.2
53
Sprinkler Requirement: This proposed building shall be fire sprinklered. 97 UFC 1003.29
54
Fire Alarm Requirement: This proposed building shall require a fire alarm system.
55
Underground Parking Garage: Is there only one-way in and one-way out of the parking garage? How many parking
spaces will be provided in the parking garage? What is the layout of the parking garage? Will ventilation for the parking
garage be provided?
57
Please submit building elevations.
Department: Stormwater Utility Issue Contact: Wes Lamarque
Topic: Drainage
50
Please provide an existing conditions analysis regarding impervious areas and runoff. This is needed to determine the
new hard surfaces and increase in runoff. Once this is determined, a better decision can be made on what type of
stormwater mitigation will be required relating to quantity and quality detention. The additional lot that is being added to
this site is currently all pervious area and most likely will require detention.
63
Due to this project being a PDP and the existing building completely being removed, water quality is required with
mitigation more consistent with City standards. Stormceptors are not supported by the water quality engineer and a
variance would be unlikely.
64
Due to major changes to the site plan, a detailed review of the grading plan will take place with the next submittal.
Topic: ErosionlSediment Control
65
1. What is going to happen to protect the area from sediment during construction of the pipelines on the
northwest corner of the site?
Please call Bob Zakely at 221-6700 for any questions.
Department: Transportation Planning Issue Contact: Tom Reiff
Topic: Parking
58
Relocate the bike rack along Canyon near the elevator to a more visible and secure location along Canyon. Also
consider locating bike parking facilities in the underground lot for future residents.
59
Locate a handicap parking stall along Canyon that is conveniently located to the entrances along Canyon and Howes.

If any access ramps will be replaced please construct the new ramps with truncated domes to satisfy the new ADA
standard.

Street cuts need to be made to the edge or middle of the lane
39
Please dimension and label property/ROW lines.
Topic: Site Plan
12
Building doors are not allowed to open over the ROW. Please recess them or find some other solution.
13
Encroachment permits are required for seat walls/columns/steps/etc. in the ROW. Also, an agreement with the DDA
must be provided for the maintenance of these items, and for special paving.
14
The curb and gutter shown near the northmost inlet doesn't match the utility plans.
15
FYI -Utilities are not required to be shown on the site plan, but are required on the landscape plan.
16
Please see redlines and landscape plan for further comments.
Topic: Storm Drain Profile
32
For Storm 1 profile: It appears that the pipe cannot be lowered; since 2' of cover to the subgrade cannot be achieved,
a geogrid/geotextile will be required above the pipe.
Topic: Utility Plan Cover Sheet
20
The title needs to be changed since symbols aren't acceptable in the title, and the title doesn't match what is used for
the Site and Landscape plans. The preamble should also have the addition of: Public Improvement (Construction
Plans For).

Topic: Electric
1
Developer will need to coordinate power requirements and electric development charges with Light & Power
Engineering.
2
Developer will need to provide a location for a pad type transformer. The source for this transformer will be the existing
electric vault at the S.E. corner of the site. An additional electric vault may be required depending on power
requirements to this site.

The following is a requirement: the right edges of the existing and proposed sidewalks there should align
across the driveway (the sidewalk onsite may transition to the 8' width as it heads north).

gutter.

ISSUES:
Department: Advance Planning Issue Contact: Clark Mapes
Topic: Site Plan
66
Re: Canyon R.O.W.: This is the right kind of development in the right place according to the Downtown Plan and the
emerging direction of the Downtown Strategic Plan which is currently underway. However one ASPECT - the ramp in
the Canyon Ave. public right-of-way - would interrupt the framework of streets and blocks. Canyon is an essential part
of the town plat and offers special opportunities for a major pedestrian spine possibly as an art walk characterized by
sculpture and thematic features. The framework of public space and this special opportunity should not be allowed to
be eroded on a piecemeal basis by individual developments.
Department: Current Planning Issue Contact: Bob Barkeen
Topic: Site Plan
67
A modification will need to sought for the setback standard in Section 4.12(E)(1)(a)(1), which requires new buildings to
be at a similar setback with existing buildings (along Howes Street). This can be presented to P&Z as soon as it can be
scheduled or when the project is presented for they're consideration.
68
The building will be subject to the design standards in Section 3.5.1(G)(2). It may be necessary to show additional
shadow analysis which illustrates when the single story building to the west (immediately west of the site) leaves the
shadow of the building during the winter (December 21). Also, a graphic of the building at its proposed location should
be done as well.
69
A detail of the fence surrounding the parking lot should be included. Could this fence be lowered to reduce safety
concerns, and decrease the likely hood of graffiti on it? Also, the trees shown on the lot should be shown as removed
since the underground garage is beneath them.
70
Additional comment$ may be necessary if the design changes based on an alternative location of the parking garage
entrance.

Topic: Building Elevations
11
Please make sure that what is shown on the building elevations matches what is shown on the grading/utility plans
(most noticeably the garage door depth).
Topic: Detail Sheet,
33
Please see the attached ADA requirements for ped ramps and include the drawings on the detail sheet.
34
Please specify which details are to be on -site only.
35
It appears that certain details are extraneous and not needed on the plans.
