The applicant intends to obtain offsite grading easements for the proposed grading on the north and east sides of the site, as well as the drainage ditch work at the southeast corner of the site. Once the plans near final acceptance by the stormwater department and the exact area has been defined, easements will be provided. viii. Done. Property lines, existing easements, and right-of-way lines have been provided on the plans. ix. A Type 13 area inlet has been provided in the offsite area located near the southwest corner of the property to allow temporary drainage until Lemay Avenue is improved by the City. X. Sub -basins OS-1, OS-2, and A-2 have been more clearly delineated. A. Subbasins have been delineated for the subbasins located in the adjacent half -streets and sizing calculations have been provided for the inlet and pipe in Lemay Avenue. xii. The applicant has requested to be excused from detaining the adjacent half -streets based upon several conditions. This request has been provided in the Final Drainage Report per instruction from Glen Schleuter. xiii. The HERCP has been designed with wingwalls located at the downsteam end of the pipe along with riprap. 11.

Mr. Michael Ludwig September 23, 1997 Page 6 previously responded to above. Details Sheet • Signature blocks have been added to all detail sheets as requested. 10. Stormwater Utility Comment noted and will be complied with. ii. A detailed profile of the 43" x 63" HERCP has been provided as requested. The invert elevations of the proposed storm sewer are being designed in relation to the existing 15 inch storm sewer coming from the drainage ditch located on the west side of Lemay Avenue, therefore, the upstream portion should be able to tie into the profile and alignment. The location of the alignment of the proposed storm sewer adjacent to the Diamond Shamrock is very limited which resulted in the proposed locations. All crossing utilities have been shown considering minimum separations and clearances. iii. An alternate design for the outfall of the detention pond will be provided if the San Cristo outfall is not constructed prior to the construction of the Diamond Shamrock. This may be simply resolved by tying into the proposed HERCP directly south of the type two outlet structure. iv. The proposed emergency overflow spillway is provided along the southerly property line adjacent to Lincoln Avenue. Further information regarding the design and location is provided in the Drainage Report and Developed Drainage Plan. V. The trench drains located ten feet from the entrance and exit of the car wash are designed to catch dripping water from exiting vehicles and water mist as a result of the rinsing cycle process. The immediate capture of this water prevents hazardous conditions created from freezing runoff during the winter months. No detergents are contained in the runoff captured by these inlets located outside the car wash building. If these trench drains are tied into the sanitary sewer, the sanitation facilities run the risk of handling an overabundance of runoff every time a rainstorm occurs. The inlet located inside the car wash building will capture the detergents and water created as a result of the car wash process. This inlet will be conveyed through a mud/sand trap and then be released into the public sanitary sewer. vi. A detail showing the orifice plate installation has been provided on the Developed Drainage Plan as requested.

All contours, utilities, etc. have been removed as requested. • Even though former conversations with staff indicated that only the median, left turn lane and combination thru/right turn lane were required, the applicant has agreed to provide the full template of the adjacent one- half of Lincoln Avenue. This includes the addition of the additional thru only lane. Sufficient right-of-way has been dediciated as advised previously during the Preliminary Platting process. The proposed design for Lincoln Avenue along the frontage of the Diamond Shamrock parcel has been forwarded to the engineers for the project to the south, Sear -Brown. • The proposed Lincoln Avenue design has been prepared to meet the specified street standards as provided by the City. Per conversation with Tim Blandford, no additional design work for Lincoln Avenue east and west of the proposed improvements nor for Lemay Avenue north and south of the intersection will be provided by the applicant at this time. It is the understanding of the applicant that the remainder of Lincoln Avenue improvements are being designed by Sear -Brown and the Future Lemay Avenue improvements is a project to be designed by the City. • The right-of-way lines for Lemay Avenue north and south of the intersection are currently shown as well as the existing striping. The lane movements of the proposed improvements to Lincoln Avenue and the existing pavement lines at the intersection are clearly delineated on the plan. • Curb return profiles have been provided as requested. • The north flowline of Lincoln Avenue, the north flowline of the median, and the existing south flowline of Lincoln Avenue have been provided as requested. • The taper for the left turn lane has been revised and designed per the phone conversation with Tim Blandford and the comments as specified on the red -lined site plan prepared by the Engineering Department. • All comments as specified on the red -lined plans have been addressed or Mr. Michael Ludwig September 23, 1997 Page 4 8.

Site Plan • The sidewalk has been revised to back up to the right-of-way line as requested along Lincoln Avenue. • All additional red -lined comments on the site plan have been addressed with the exception of the requested pedestrian connection located across Lemay Avenue south of the proposed curb cut for the private access drive. The installation of a crosswalk at this location provides a very hazardous situation for both pedestrian and vehicular traffic. Following up on a phone conversation with the engineer, the applicant would like to request that the engineer revisit his recommendation of a crosswalk in this area. Utility Plan • Plan and profiles have been provided for all storm sewers both public and private as specifically requested via phone conversation with Tim Blandford. • The line types have been revised accordingly for all sheets within the plan sets. • Sidewalk has been relocated to back up against the property line of Lemay Avenue. • Details used on this sheet have been referenced as requested. • Line types and line weights have been revised accordingly to provide clarity between existing and proposed items. Mr. Michael Ludwig September 23, 1997 Page 3 shown were designed for screening purposes according to comments during the Preliminary PUD review, a second row of shrubs have been added as requested. o. Done. The tree protection notes have been added as requested. Elevations P. In response to the direction to provide brick at the Canopy columns, an accent brick (Rustic Gray) has been selected that will compliment the split face concrete block (Light Gray) used throughout the project. The use of materials on the Canopy columns is consistent with the direction taken on both the C-Store and Car Wash. We are not showing the full height of the Canopy columns as wrapped with brick as it is our intent to allow the varying materials create interest and the 'lighter" stucco material will allow the columns to not appear as "dominate". q. Brick detailing has been added at the corners of the Convenience Store and Car Wash. We have not however extended the areas of brick to include the height of the column up to the laminated fascia panel. We request the accompanying design be considered as we feel the addition of accent brick in the manner shown is very complimentary to the general marketing design approach of Diamond Shamrock, and may also satisfy the needs of the Planning review comments. As reflected on the attached drawings a brick soldier course has been added above the laminated fascia panels at the base of the stucco band as requested, in addition the same band of soldier course accent brick has been provided at the window sill and base of the building. S. A note has been added to Sheet 3 of 4 indicating that no window signage will be allowed. 6. a. The statement regarding the north line of the NW 1 /4 has been revised as shown on the Final Plat. b.
