1-:]
Sheet Nine
52. Reinstate the berm table that was on Sheet Five of the Preliminary P.U.D. as a
detail.
53. Add the note on the redline and revise note number 21 as shown on redline.
Sheet Ten
54. Under "Directional Signage," delete the detail regarding "Row 2." If row
identification is necessary, there are far more attractive options, that are not ten
feet high, that would be acceptable. Any such detail should reflect the
"warehouse option" and contribute to the overall theme of the project without the
use of logos or advertising or use of corporate colors.
55. Provide a detail for the gooseneck light fixtures.
Sheet Eleven
56. Please add a note that all signage is governed by the Sign Code and subject to a
separate permit. The purpose of the illustration is to indicate that monument signs
shall feature decorative pedestals as indicated and that pedestals are to be placed
in landscaped areas with a variety of shrubs in multiple rows as shown on Sheet
Four.
Sheet Twelve
57. The plaza area in front of the store will feature a variety of decorative pedestrian -
scaled lighting. The photometric plan does not reflect these foot-candle values.
The plan should be revised to include these other fixtures.
58. The overall average foot-candle is 4.0. This exceeds the L.D.G.S.
recommendation of 1.0. Lighting levels should be reduced accordingly.
59. There are numerous locations where light fixtures will compete with shade trees,
especially after five to seven years when tree canopies start to mature. Light
fixture locations should be adjusted in order to maintain uniform lighting over the
site over the long term.
60. See redlines for additional comments.
61. See attached comment sheets from other City departments and outside utility
providers.
40. On the west elevation, each of the new arched faux windows should be enhanced
with a gooseneck light fixture. Again, the basis for this enhancement is derived
from the "Warehouse Option" illustration.
41. The tie plates, escutcheons and cables that are part of the canopy system on both
the south and west elevation need to contribute to the warehouse theme. These
elements need to be an integral part of the overall design by being ornamental as
well as functional. These elements need to be "heavy-duty" with a "turn -of -the -
century" character. The cables should include "tumbuckles" or other hardware
that adds detail and interest to the device. Please provide cut sheets or
specifications for these important design elements.
42. See redlines regarding the information kiosk.
43. Please provide a sample of "opaque glazing."
44. Please specify a color for the gooseneck light fixtures. Have you considered the
dark green? This would be complementary to the "jumbo brick" as the
predominant wall material.
Sheet Six
45. On the north elevation, please provide four additional arched, concrete -filled,
rectangular faux windows in the two locations specified. Each window should
feature a gooseneck light fixture.
@6. On the north elevation, the middle module should feature an increased roof pitch
that at least matches the towers.
67- On the east elevation, please provide four arched, concrete -filled, rectangular faux
windows in the two locations specified. Again, each window should feature a
gooseneck light fixture.
48. On the east elevation, the four square faux windows should be lowered slightly.
49. On the east elevation, the cultured stone columns should continue to the end and
not switch in the middle.
Sheet Seven
50. See comments on Sheet Five.
Sheet Eight
51. See comments on Sheet Six.
M M
28. In front of the aforementioned 10 parking spaces that face Lemay and encroach
into the utility easement, there are rows of shrubs that are difficult to read at 50
scale. Please provide a detail of this area at a larger scale.
29. Please add a note that refers to Landscape Notes on Sheet Nine.
Sheet Four
30. Please add a note that refers to Landscape Notes on Sheet Nine.
31. Please add a detail, in plan view, for the "typical" planting that will surround the
pedestal of any monument sign.
Sheet Five
32. On the south elevation, please reinstate the four concrete -filled faux windows that
flank the middle module. These were shown on the Preliminary.
33. Please indicate on the plan view for the south elevation the location of the
planters, seat walls, benches, tables, moveable furniture, etc.
34. On the south elevation, there are three emergency exit doors that are unprotected
by a canopy. These three doors should be treated with the same architectural
detail as shown on the east elevation (see Sheets Six and Eight).
35. Please clarify and explain why the cultured stone wainscot is not carried across
the entire length of the garden area and why there is a break in the fence pattern.
Does this break indicate a gate? If so, then we need to fully discuss the
operational and functional aspects of this how this area is intended to be used.
Pictures from existing stores may be helpful.
36. On the south elevation, the roof pitch on the middle module should be increased
to at least match the pitch on the four towers.
37. On the west elevation, the roof pitch on the middle module should also be
increased.
38. On the west elevation, the six concrete -filled faux windows should be lowered so
they provide relief for the pedestrian.
Ir
39. On the west elevation, please introduce a new element to help break up the
fagade. This is an arched concrete -filled faux window that is more rectangular in
shape than square. This type of treatment is illustrated on the "Warehouse
Option" that was presented to Staff as the selected architectural intent to help the
building blend into the fabric and the context of the surrounding area. Please add
five of these to the locations indicated on the redlines.
17. The area in front of the garden should also be scored concrete along the entire
south elevation. This scored concrete should be added to the legend since it is not
technically a sidewalk. This area needs to be labeled as the "plaza" or "forecourt"
in order to make a clear distinction with the outdoor seasonal sales area.
18. Be sure to specify the trash compactor and the trash dumpsters. These two areas
should be enclosed and covered with only one opening for trucks. This is
mandatory for sound abatement.
19. Please see redline comments and comments from Zoning.
Sheet Three
20. Please add street trees on the south side of Magnolia and the east side of 12`h
Street as per the Preliminary P.U.D. Please add a note that street trees will be
kept 40 feet from public street light fixtures. Where public street lighting occurs,
ornamental trees shall be planted but shall be kept 15 feet from streetlights. Or, if
Light and Power can provide streetlight locations, the street trees and ornamentals
can be adjusted accordingly.
21. Please add six trees on the east side of the outdoor sales area to match the six trees
on the west.
22. The berms along Lemay should be denoted as to height. The
berm table that was part of the Preliminary should be provided as a detail. Height
should be measured from the final grade of the public street.
23. There are 13 parking spaces in the northwest comer of the site that face Buffalo
Run Apartments. These spaces should also be screened with a berm with the
shrub material located up on top of the berm for additional screening of parked
cars.
24. The four ornamentals in the plaza area along the south elevation as shown on the
Preliminary should be reinstated.
25. Please state that the berm along the loading dock shall be no less than six feet in
height as measured from the grade of the private street, not the grade of the
parking lot.
26. Please add shrub beds and one ornamental along the east elevation.
27. Please add shrubs in front of the four spaces facing Buffalo Run Apartments, just
west of the pedestrian walkway.
N
M
9. Please add the note regarding clarification on outdoor placement of vending
machines and the like.
10. Note number 16 needs to be redone. The note refers to the outdoor seasonal sales
area and then refers to screening, materials, color etc. On Sheet Two, however,
the outdoor sales area features none of these improvements. Staff is concerned
about two things; (1.) keeping the forecourt of the store (plaza areas) free of
outdoor sales and (2.) upgrading the designated outdoor seasonal sales area. With
regard to the former, please add the following note:
"No temporary and or seasonal sales or "sidewalk" sales shall occur in front of the
store in the forecourt/plaza area or in front of the garden center. Such sales are
confined to the designated seasonal sales area as shown on the Site Plan."
With regard to the latter, please see comment below under Sheet Two comments.
11. Under the approval, signature and notarial blocks, delete "1999" and leave blank.
12. Under the Site Data table, please indicate the number of parking spaces located
between the front of the building and Magnolia Street and that this number is no
more than 50% of the total parking.
Sheet Two
03. The outdoor seasonal sales area needs to be upgraded and improved. A
rectangular slab of concrete is not acceptable. Have you considered an alternative
surface such as one of the many variations of grass-crete? If a hard surface is
required, please provide a shelter, pavilion, or some other structure to define the
space. An excellent example can be found on West Drake Road in front of
Steele's Market. The space should also be accented by landscape materials — see
comment under Sheet Three.
14. There are ten parking spaces facing Lemay, just south of the right-in/right-out,
that encroach into a utility easement. These spaces should be pulled back to leave
the easement clear. The 24 foot wide drive aisle is not necessary to serve a
single -loaded parking bay. This aisle could be reduced to 20 feet.
15. There are three other areas where single loaded parking bays are served by 24 foot
wide aisles. These should be reduced to 20 feet. (See redlines.)
16. There are two drive aisles that intersect with Magnolia that are 30 feet wide. This
is an excessive width and should be reduced to 20 - 24 feet.
