Sincerely, AMLW Steve Olt Project Planner cc: Engineering Stormwater Utility Zoning Water & Wastewater Transportation Planning Dellenbach Motors Subaru McNutt & Associates Stewart & Associates Project File #50-98 College Avenue. Pedestrian improvements are needed to the north and east of this site. 9. There appears to be no direct pedestrian access from West Swallow Road to the front entry of this project. It would be better to have an entrance to the building from West Swallow Road. Planning 10. The overall Lighting Photometric Plan shows an average foot candle value of 7.02 for the site. The overall site lighting exceeds the maximum allowance of 10 foot candles and lighting levels measured 20' beyond the property line adjacent to public rights -of way not exceeding 0.1 foot candle as a direct result of the on -site lighting for the development, as set forth in Sections 3.2.4(D)(7) and (8) of the LUC. A letter of request for consideration of an alternative lighting plan under the Alternative Compliance section of the Code [Section 3.2.4(E)] has been submitted to the City for review. Staff will be recommending that the Board approve the alternative lighting plan. 11. The vehicle use areas must be adequately screened as per Section 3.2.1(E)(4)(b) of the LUC. The Landscape Plan dated 6/15/99 does not appear to comply with this requirement. The Tammy Junipers in the planting bed along the Frontage Road are sufficient in height and opacity. The Blue Mist Spirea are sufficient in the winter in height and opacity. The rest of the materials (Potentilla, Hughes Juniper, Wilton Carpet Juniper, Snow in Summer) are not tall enough to meet the 30" minimum height requirement. The necessary 75% opacity and 70% of the length of the parking area requirement is not being met. 12. A minor amendment to the existing Dellenbach Motors PUD is needed for the new islands at the driveway connection between the two sites (southwest corner of this current development request). Engineering 13. Is there an existing sidewalk along the Frontage Road frontage of this property? 14. Handicapped ramps should be provided at the corners of the street crossings for the Frontage Road and West Swallow Road, if not already there. 15. Is a replat needed for this development proposal? The west line of this project needs to be clarified. A non -regulated land transfer between Lot 3 and Lots 1 & 2 may be needed. Hopefully the recorded plat will not have to be affected. b. Enhanced pedestrian crossings are needed to the north across West Swallow Road and to the east across the Frontage Road to South College Avenue.
