clarify if there is a collective parking arrangement (recorded joint access
agreement), if existing or proposed, this agreement shall be submitted and included
with this Project Development Plan.
h) Section 3.2.2(C)(5) — (6), (D) and [E][5] of the Land Use Code specifies onsite
pedestrian systems should provide directness, continuity, safety and minimize the
number of driveway and drive aisle crossings. The pedestrian ways need to be
further enhanced to meet the Land Use Code provisions. Please review plans sheet
1 of 4 as it notes staff's recommendation to comply with these standards.
i) Section 3.5.1(J)(1) and (2) requires that no trash enclosure be located within twenty
(20) feet of any public street, public sidewalk or internal pedestrian way, it appears
that the trash enclosure needs to be re -located and screened with additional
vegetative landscaping.
5) The following comments apply to the architectural design of the building:
a) Section 3.5.3(D)(1) of the LUC specifies that in the case of multiple building
developments, each individual building shall include predominant characteristics
shared by all buildings in the development so that the development forms a
cohesive place within the community. Similar architectural features should be
carried over from the main building to the design of the smaller buildings. Please
clarify and identify shared characteristics with those of Carmike Theatre.
b) Sections 3.5.1(F) and 3.5.3(D)(1) — (7) of the LUC specifies minimum design and
material characteristics that be achieved on all facades.
bb) It appears that the proposed design is proposing inferior materials,
specifically the use of standing seam metal. This section of the code
prohibits use of inferior materials, and specifies that all sides of the building
shall include materials and design characteristics consistent with the
structures. It is recommended that those areas utilizing standing seam metal
be changed to stucco.
bbb) Section 3.5.1(J)(2) requires that any wall mounted utility meters and
rooftop or ground mounted mechanical equipment shall allow the
architectural design to be continuous. These functions must be
screened from view from adjacent properties and public streets by
materials that are not inferior to the principal materials of the building
and landscape.
c) Please indicate all building colors and materials on the Building Elevations in
accordance with Sections 3.5.1(F) and 3.5.1(G) of the Land Use Code.
d) The standing seam metal roofing should be changed to a more neutral (natural)
color. Is the proposed color scheme compatible with Carmike Theatre? Further,
Section 3.5.1(J)(2) requires that rooftop mounted mechanical equipment shall allow
the architectural design to be continuous and be screened by materials that are not
inferior to the principal materials of the building and landscape.
e) Please indicate all building dimensions, including doors, windows, et cetera, on the
building elevations (i.e. Sheet 4 of 4).
f) Scaled design elevations for the north fagade of the Tube center, canopies and the
west facade of retail area, the south and east fagade of the car wash specifically
those elevations adjacent to the canopied covered vehicle exit drive need to be
submitted. Clarify the canopy covering the vehicle exit drive. These areas must be
compatible with the overall development based upon Land Use Code standards.

f) All parking lots need to meet the parameters addressed in LUC Section
