09/02/2014: Since the shared drive concept is abandoned, the existing drive will be used. CDOT appears
to be supportive of this. The drive needs to be one way (inbound only), and a change in use permit will be
needed from CDOT.
New access/change in use permit request is attached. Signage for one way drive will be installed. right in
entry off College, no exit off drive. One way designation has been shown on the site plan.
07/16/2014. The shared driveway off College Avenue needs to function as an appropriate high volume drive
that accesses a state highway. If it's being used for 2-way traffic, it would need to accommodate 2-way
traffic for at least some distance from street.

07/16/2014: Transportation Planning staff notes that the sidewalk along College needs improvements -
although it can likely stay attached much like other properties in the area, it will need to be widened.
The site plan has been revised to show an 8' attached sidewalk (4' additional) off of College Avenue. The existing trees
which have been diagnosed by the City Forester will be removed as shown on the landscaping plan and two skyline
Honey locust, 2.0 inch caliper will be planted off of the new walkway.

No, there is an intent to provide alternative access space for handicap use by remodeling the garage as a usable conference
room space; this alternate space will be used as necessary be staff or clients who would not be able to access the main
structure based on architectural barriers (stairs). The door off the breezeway (north of the current garage/intended alternate
accessible area) will be removed as to allow access from the handicapped approved parking space. Immediate access will be

The issue of fire access to this property needs to be revisited. Its now my understanding the proposal
to share a drive aisle with the commercial property to the south has been rescinded and fire access
will need to be achieved on -site as we cannot take access off of College Ave. Please contact me to
discuss this further. Code reference provided below.
It is understood that issues are resolved and that no upgrades are required to address PFA concerns
IFC 503.1.1: Fire Lanes shall be provided to within 150' of all portions of the building, as measured by an
approved route around the exterior of the building. When fire lanes cannot be provided, the fire code official
is authorized to increase the dimension of 150 feet if the building is equipped throughout with an approved,

It is understood that the City has no storm drainage facilities in this area and that so long as less than 1,000 sq. ft. of additional
permeable surface is added no water quality mitigation and LID treatment is required. To minimize impacts use of
impermeable pavers is intended. An imperious surface area table has been added to the landscape site plan sowing 957

The current plan shows the alternate trash enclosure location at the large cottonwood at the SE corner
of the site. The parking stall just to the west appears to be less than 3 feet from the tree. The extent of
the pavers near this tree is not very not clear.
Please review these conflicts and consider if the parking stall can be shifted to the west or possibly
not included to provide better protection to the tree. The City Forester is available to meet on site if
needed to help evaluate.
It is anticipated that the easterly garage doors will house a trash enclosure area. If the area proves insufficient, the site plan
shows a trash enclosure east of the garage. The alternate trash enclosure, at the SE corner, would only be used if there is an
inability to use the site off the garage. Staff concerns preclude shifting the parking stall to the west as the westerly shift would
interfere with the sun room off the south side of the house. If necessary the Cottonwood (tree #1) may need to be removed to
accommodate the parking., a diagnosis relative to interference with the Cottonwood trees root structure will be obtained as
excavation for the SE parking area proceeds. As an alternative to removal of the Cottonwood, the City has advised that the
garage could be removed to afford parking; the landowner has striven to maintain the garage based on the structures perceived
historical significance. The permeable surface area table on the site plan shows a 50 sq. ft. concrete pad for the trash facility if
a facility is required.

The tree table has been enhanced and shown on the landscaping plan as the tree/planting legend. A new tree is to be added
west of sun room which was where a tree was previously located based on historic photos, the type of tree will be confirmed
with the City Forester, a American Yellowwood is proposed. There have been concerns regarding the Cottonwood (tree #1).
The landowner would like to trim and have the tree maintained as it provides shade and has been diagnosed by Kinkaid as
healthy. The tree was previously approved for removal in conjunction with prior development proposals. If it proves when
trimming occurs that the tree needs to be removed, the landowner will address the possible need for mitigation with the City
Forester.

Continued comments from the 7/16/14 review.
Number 1:
Please specify the species of the trees to be planted along College. Size should be indicated as 2.0
inch caliper. For mitigation for the spruce removal one should be specified as 3.0 inch caliper.
The new landscaping plan and included tree/planting legend shown on the landscape plan identifies skyline Honey locusts with
a 2.0 inch caliper per City direction, see 7/16 comment above.
Number 2:
Thank you for the information that Kincaid Tree Service had evaluated the Cottonwood. Please confirm
that there recommendation was to retain the tree.
Kincaid felt the Cottonwood tree was healthy, Landowners note the tree provides shade for the house, the Landowner/Buyer
intends to leave the tree so long as parking can be provided and the tree remains healthy as diagnosed. If parking is not
feasible with the tree in place or the tree proves to be unhealthy it will be removed. If it proves when trimming occurs that the
tree needs to be removed, the landowner will address the possible need for mitigation with the City Forester.
Number 4:
Please add the tree inventory table to the site plan. For spruce number 2 indicate that the mitigation
would be 1 tree. For number 7 the area where the volunteer trees are located could be shown with a
line generally surrounding the border of the grove.
The location of a proposed replacement tree is shown on the landscape plan. The volunteer grove has been shown at the
northeast corner of property has been identified on the landscape plan. The City Forester has given permission for removal of
the volunteer plants located east of the Porte Cochere, and the removal is noted on the tree/planting legend on the landscape
plan.

09/01/14: Since the driveway will not be closing the applicant will need to work with CDOT regarding a
new/updated access permit for this driveway. The driveway shall be a one way driveway and that
needs to be noted on the site plan and appropriate signage shown to be installed on the plans, so it is
clear that cars are not to enter from the wrong way. 07/1512014: For the driveway closure:
The applicant will need to get an access permit from CDOT for the closure (no cost).
The driveway cut would need to be replaced along College Ave with vertical curb and gutter.
An access/change in use permit request is attached, signage designating the one way drive will be installed, right in entry
off College with no exit off drive onto College.

09/03/2014: The driveway width needs to be labeled on the plans. It is unlikely that the driveway will meet
ADA standards and if it does meet ADA standards then it needs to be reconstructed. A note needs to be
added to the plans identifying that the driveway needs to meet ADA standards and if it doesn't, it needs to
be reconstructed to meet ADA standards.
Stall width has been shown on the parking legend which has been added to the site plan. It is understood that the
concern related to the driveway ties to slope concerns, particularly at the sidewalk, these issues have been taken into
account and will be addressed when the additional 4' of adjacent walkway is installed and existing 4' of adjacent
walkway is repaired.

09/02/2014: The trash enclosure needs to be resolved if showing new enclosure on site then it will need to
be on a concrete pad with a walk-in access.
It is anticipated that the easterly garage doors will house a trash enclosure area. If the area proves insufficient, the site plan
shows a trash enclosure and an alternate trash enclosure. It is presumed that if a trash enclosure other than the garage
enclosure is needed, the site immediately east of the garage will be used unless there is interference with utilities. If the exterior
site is needed access doors will be included off the alley (facing east) and off the driveway (facing north) and will be placed on a
