maintenance or replacement and are to be maintained by the adjacent property
owner.
- Drainage culverts under proposed city streets require inspection and may
require maintenance, repair, and/or replacement.

06/13/2019: The Annexation map needs to reflect the right of way also fronting
Racquette Drive. It is the City's practice that the right of way also be annexed
into the City. Please show the designated 60 foot right of way on the annexation
map.

Comment Originated: 06/14/2019
06/14/2019: This comment is just for notification of future development. When
a development application is submitted, the owner will need to dedicate an
additional 3 feet of right of way and utility easement on Racquette Drive. It
appears that the parking in front of the building may need to be addressed when
this occurs.
With future development, the owner will also have to bring the roadway up to the
current LUCASS standards and address sidewalk and ADA issues.

sprinklered and does not currently meet minimum standards for fire access. The
current use of the building may or may not comply with the approved
use/occupancy group classification. Further development on the property or
change of use will require fire department review and approval. A dedicated fire

06/21 /2019:
1 know there was some reference in the narrative that the building would be a
change of use to permit a cheer academy; therefore, this would require the site
to be brought up to current standards such as improvements related to
infrastructure, land use code and fire code.
The annexation itself will not require the owner to do property upgrades;
however, any subsequent development of the site will. We define development
as follows:
"Development shall mean the carrying out of any building activity or mining
operation, the making of any material change in the use or appearance of any
structure or land, or, except as is authorized in Section 1.4.7, the dividing of land
into two (2) or more parcels.
(1) Development shall also include:
(a) Any construction, placement, reconstruction, alteration of the size, or
material change in the external appearance of a structure on land;
(b) Any change in the intensity of use of land, such as an increase in the number
