have questions or concerns
to schedule a meeting with
to discuss these comments.
8. The eastern -most existing driveway from West Drake Road should
be retained and the one to the west removed. The driveway
proposed to remain is too close to McClelland Drive. The
parking spaces may need to be reconfigured.
9. A 4' wide detached sidewalk, at least 4.5' behind the back of
curb, is required along McClelland Drive. It may be necessary
to schedule a street tree/utility coordination meeting to
determine if there are problems with interface of underground
utilities and the ability to provide street trees in this
area.
10. A copy of the Stormwater Utility comments is attached to this
letter.
11. There are 3 Sunburst Honeylocust shade trees that are being
proposed in the interior landscape islands. The City Arborist
recommends that other tree varieties be used in place of these
Honeylocust.
12. The streetscape should be beefed up to include shrubs in
tandem with the proposed street trees at 40' spacing on -
center. The trees alone do not provide adequate opacity to
block at least 20% of the cross-section view of the parking
area from the street as required in Section 29-493(1)b. of
City Code. Also, it is being recommended that the existing
trees and shrubs be relocated, if possible.
13. The employee parking spaces.should be delineated on the Site
Plan.
14. What are the plans for additional lighting on the site with
the addition of automobile display? It is important to locate
and describe proposed lighting, and cut sheets submitted foe
review would be valuable.
