Apparently the building additions are proposed to be constructed over what is
already paved,, impervious areas on the site. However, the downspouts are not
shown on the drainage map and, therefore, it is difficult to determine if the site.
drainage patterns are being changed. This information needs to be provided to
the Stormwater Utility.
This completes staffs comments at, this time. The following City departments and
outside reviewing agencies have not yet forwarded their comment sheets to me:
Engineering, Water/Wastewater, Police, Advance. Planning, Right -of -Way Agent, U.S.

may be scheduled when all comments are received and it is determined that there are
no significant outstanding issues to be addressed.

Dear Mr. Stimely,
Staff has reviewed your documents for the Phase 2 Company - HC Site Plan Review
that were submitted to the City on or about September 9, 1996, and would like to offer
the following comments:
1. Based on the Conceptual Review letter from Ted Shepard to you, dated August .
21, 1996, and the Site. Plan that was submitted, it appears that the proposed
building additions.to the existing -facility are approximately 1,400 to 1,500 square
feet in size; The property is in the HC = Highway Corridor Zoning District and the
fact that the proposed additions exceed 1,000 square feet of gross floor area
requires that this request go through an HC Site Plan Review. City Code requires
that the application for the site plan review include a. Site Plan, Landscape Plan,
Building Elevations, and other supporting documentation (if necessary).
In this case, no Landscape Plan was submitted, however, the proposed
additions do not affect the existing parking and landscaped areas. The existing
(and any proposed) landscaping should be added to the Site Plan, which can
serve as a combined Site and Landscape Plan.
2. It appears that a new "planting" island is being added to the site at the southeast
corner of the large, long existing building and should.be labeled as such. The
proposed plantings should. be identified. This is a good modification to the site.
3. There are existing chain link fences and a large gravel area to the south and
west of the existing buildings that should be shown and identified on the Site.
(and soon to be Landscape) Plan.
4. Bicycle parking should be located near, probably, the main entrance to the
building. This should be in a secure, well -lit. location.
