3 Just an idea — relocate bike rack closer to south or west side of the
building for security purposes.
RESPONSE:
We looked at relocating the bike rack. On the south side of building, it is
too tight between the parking and the building. We also looked at the
farthest west parking island and discovered that the concrete slab would
have interfered with a proposed drainage swale. We feel that the best
location is at the southeast corner of the building. We do have large
shrubs along the building that should help screen the bike rack from the
street.
4 The patio overhangs should be included in the building envelope. It
doesn't appear that they are.
RESPONSE:
The balcony overhangs have been added to the site and landscape plans.
5 Note building height on elevations
RESPONSE:
The building height has been added to the elevations
6 What are the proposed building colors?
RESPONSE:
The colors have been included on the elevations.

Urban Area Street Standards.

3. Silt fencing (in part) runs along the east side of the property, but there
is none across the concrete entrance at the southeast corner of the
project. The silt fence will collect all the flow and then direct it out onto
Remington through the concrete entrance. How are you going to
prevent that from happening?
RESPONSE:
Enlarged construction entrance to cover the entire entrance.
4. Why doesn't the silt fencing go all the way along the south boundary of
the project?
RESPONSE:
The silt fence was provided; however, it did not show up properly on
the drawings and this has been corrected.

Added notes.
Clearly define the connection of the fire line to the existing water main as
being a "6X4" tapping saddle with a T.B. and a 4" G.V."

Drawings have been revised and updated.
Show the proposed fire line on all plan sets (i.e. site plan and landscape
plans). See site, landscape and utility plans for other comments.
RESPONSE:
The fire line has been added to the site and landscape plans. Shrubs
have been relocated to maintain the required separation.
13 Address Numerals: Address numerals shall be visible from the street
fronting the property, and posted with a minimum of 6-inch numerals on a
contrasting background. 97 UFC 901.4.4
RESPONSE:
We will use 6-inch address numerals on the front of the building facing
Swallow Road.
14 Water Supply: No commercial building can be greater than 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
RESPONSE:
Existing fire hydrant shown on Remington is within 300 feet of the building.
15 Building Area: This proposed building exceeds 5000 square feet and must
be fire contained or fire sprinklered. 97 UBC Table 9B
RESPONSE:
Fire sprinklers are being provided.

RE: Swallow Residential Eight-Plex Building / Response to Staff Comments
Dear Ted:
The following are our responses to staff comments from the staff project review
letter sent to us dated May 17, 2002.
Light and Power Issue Contact: Doug Martine
1 The front (south) side of the existing electric transformer (called "electric
vault' on the plans) must have 8 ft. of clearance from the edge of the pad
to any obstacle (including trees & shrubs). This will require changing the
landscaping. Depending on the power requirements for this project, an
additional transformer to the south of the existing one may be necessary.
RESPONSE:
We have removed all of the planting within 8-feet of the transformer pad
as requested. There will be rock mulch in the area instead.
2 Developer needs to coordinate power requirements and electric
development charges with Light & Power Engineering (221-6700).
RESPONSE:
We will coordinate all power requirements and electric development
charges with Light & Power Engineering.
