Site Plan.
U S WEST states that the owner is responsible for all telephone wiring beyond the main
j terminal in the building.
4! 1 The Engineering Department states that the Final P.U.D. submittal must include all utility,
grading and drainage information.
The Water and Wastewater Utility stated that there may be a conflict between an existing fire
hydrant at the corner of Drake and Harvard and the proposed parking.

the following comments:
hieves more than 50% of the maximum applicable points on the
Uses Point Chart and is "essentially the same as what already exists."
Theination of a 2,015 square foot medical office and 3 bedroom apartment (as
per Linda Ripley on 11/l/95) generates an off-street parking need of 11 spaces.
Based upon the Zoning Department's comments, it appears that 11 off-street parking
spaces can be provided. Alternative B would allow Dr. Eskin to change his place of
residence and keep his chiropractic office at its current location as described in the
Planning Objectives which were submitted.
Alternative A does not achieve at least 50% of the maximum applicable points on the
Business Service Uses Point Chart. The combination of a 2,015 square feet of
medical office use and 2,351 square feet of general office use generates an off-street
parking need of 16 parking spaces. Based upon the comments expressed by the
Zoning Department and constraints of the site, it does not appear that the proposed
site can provide 16 off-street parking spaces and would therefore fail to meet All -
Development Criteria A-2.4, Vehicular Circulation and Parking.
Staff does not feel that variances to these requirements are justified on the basis that
Alternative A, as currently proposed, is detrimental to the public good and that
Alternative A is not equal to or better than Alternative B.
Please list the specific energy conservation measures which will be incorporated with
this P.U.D. by Energy Conservation Method 2 on the Preliminary Site/Landscape
Plan.
A joint access agreement with the State Farm Insurance Office must be obtained for
the rear parking lot. Please submit this agreement by the November 29, 1995 plan
revision deadline.
he Site Plan should show all surrounding land uses, structures, fire hydrants,
transformers, public right of way, etc. within 150' of the property boundaries.

Dear Linda,
Staff has reviewed your documents for the Eskin P.U.D., Preliminary, #48-95, that were submitted
on October 16, 1995, and would like to offer the following comments:
The Building Inspections Department stated that Alternative uses A or B will cause the
building to no longer be classified as a Home Occupation. All provisions of the building code
must be met for the existing and proposed uses. Typically, this means providing access for
the disabled, supplying fire -resistive separations between different uses, providing toilet
facilities for customers and employees that are handicapped accessible. The change of use
requires a revised "certificate of occupancy" obtained through a building permit process after
a P.U.D. is approved.
2. The Zoning Department offers the following comments:
a/
M
It appears that the Eskin P.U.D. shares a drive with the State Farm Insurance office
for the rear parking lot. Please show the location of the entire shared drive.
There is a vehicle backing conflict in the rear parking lot. It appears that the two
southern most parking spaces will have to be moved or deleted.
A landscape strip with an average width of 10' (minimum width of 5' at any single
point) is needed from the back of the sidewalk along Harvard to the first parking
stalls. It appears that the two parking spaces immediately adjacent to the sidewalk
must be deleted.
There is a vehicle backing conflict in the front parking lot. It appears that the two
spaces below the second story overhang should be deleted.
A dumostet enclohes ekan bike rac must be added to the Site Plan.
Building dimensions and the distance of the building to lot lines must be added to the
