04/04/2012: Staff is wondering if bollards are the best option to contain C.B.&Potts spill over
parking. Would signage be a more appropriate first step and see if that addresses any
potential issues? While there is nothing that I am aware of in the Code that precludes bollards
(no PFA issues), Staff suggests reconsidering the bollard approach.
Bollards have been removed.

06/05/2012: Regarding Roger Buffington's comment requesting showing the water and sewer
lines on the landscape plan, I don't see those. This may be important because if a tree on the
south edge of the property is precluded because of these lines, that is an important detail to
know prior to hearing.
All utilities are shown on the plan set.

Comment Number: 3 Comment Originated: 04/04/2012
06/05/2012: The revised site plan along with the variance request generally appears
acceptable. Please verify the intent with a couple of existing items:
1) The label of the fire hydrant shown on the site plan is "relocated fire hydrant", is it intended to
be moved, or kept in the same location, which appears to be in intention based upon the
measurement?
Existing hydrant to remain.
2) There is an existing manhole directly west of the main driveway and south of the existing
sidewalk, is it intended that this is relocated, otherwise the sidewalk/truncated dome on the
west side of the driveway would conflict.
Lid to be replaced with pedestrian-rated cover, and adjusted to grade.
3) The water meter shown on the drawing appears to be in measure, about 1 foot into the
sidewalk, is the intention to keep the meter in the sidewalk?
Meter pit to be located in private plaza.
4) The indication of the retaining wall to be flush with the sidewalk and provide elevation from
the tree roots?
Sidewalk to be down at/near existing top back of curb elevation. Tree/tree root zone to be 6”-12”
higher than sidewalk elevation.
04/04/2012: The proposal of an 8 foot attached sidewalk is of question. The City's view is that
(per the Conceptual Review comments) an attached sidewalk matching the Campus West
Redevelopment is the ideal specification for an attached sidewalk. This sidewalk dimension for
the Campus West Redevelopment is 12 feet and ideally this proposal should match this width
(and is also the proposed width of the redevelopment property next door). The site visit with
Northern and Brinkman identified some potential restriction points to meeting the ideal width:
the tree in front of the Wendy's and a light pole along with a fire hydrant. We were realizing that
the tree in front of Wendy's would likely need to narrow from an ideal width in order to not
impact the tree but thought that the 12 foot width could be likely achieved along the rest of the
corridor. The light pole and fire hydrant, while being existing restriction points, we did not
necessarily conclude that these appurtenances could stay as is. With the drawing submitted it
shows that with the 8 foot attached sidewalk, the light pole would be fully in the sidewalk and
the fire hydrant is partially in the sidewalk as well. The City would conclude that these
appurtenances should be moved as they're awkwardly situated in the 8 foot attached sidewalk,
which would have the design then look towards more of the ideal sidewalk width. (Doug Martine
with Light and Power noted that the cost to move the pole so it's not within/abutting the sidewalk
is no different to achieve 2 foot separation from the proposed 8 foot sidewalk to vs. a more
ideal sidewalk width with further separation.) We would need to evaluate any proposal that does
not incorporate the 12' attached sidewalk through a variance request in coordination with
Planning.
Acknowledged.

06/05/2012: The site plan drawing doesn't show concrete sidewalk across the driveways,
typically a note indicates concrete to property line for the driveways.
A note has been added to sheet LS101.
04/04/2012: Both drive approaches would need to have additional concrete added in order for
the sidewalk to lead to a concrete section, not partial concrete/asphalt. The access ramp
leading to a curb for the eastern exit driveway is awkward as well with the curb needing to be
pulled back.
Acknowledged.

Topic: Floodplain
Comment Number: 2 Comment Originated: 04/06/2012
1. A request has been made to allow a 2,000-3,000 s.f. basement for storage. Per Section
10-38, no new basement may be constructed below the regulatory flood protection elevation in
a new residential structure.
Acknowledged.
2. No-Rise Certification is needed for the work proposed in the floodway (replacement of the
sidewalk with an 8-ft. attached walk) along Elizabeth Street. Technical analysis will be needed
to justify the no-rise condition.
Acknowledged.
3. The floodway and flood fringe boundaries must be included on the plat. Include a note to
inform that the boundaries are from the proposed waiver request and explain why the current
effective model is not being used. Also include the name of the City Basin (Canal Importation)
and the City Benchmark and its associated elevation.
Current effective floodway and flood fringe boundaries are shown on the plat. The waiver is solely
for BFE and does not apply to the floodplain boundaries shown on the plat.
4. The notes from the Floodplain Exhibit (Sheet C4.1) should also be included on the plat.
Shown on the plat.
5. NAVD88 elevations are not required in City Basins, only FEMA basins. Please remove
NAVD88 elevations from the Floodplain Exhibit, etc.
Done.
6. The Drainage Letter does not have any floodplain information within the body of the letter.
Please add the information requested within the 'City's Floodplain Review Checklist 100%
Development Review Submittals'. Also within the letter, please explain why the floodplain
waiver is needed, how it will be obtained and how it will be used, etc.
This information will be forthcoming.
7. Please note on the plans that the floodplain boundaries, cross-section, base flood
elevations, etc. are based upon the waiver request and not on the current effective model.
The waiver request will be noted on the plans.
8. The boundaries and locations of the cross sections and BFE's that are shown on the
Floodplain Exhibit (Sheet C4.1) appear to be from the current effective model, while the
elevations noted are from the waiver request. All of this information should match what is
proposed in the waiver request.
This will be discussed further with Floodplain Staff.
9. The HVAC shown on the Floodplain Exhibit (Sheet C4.1) is shown at the same elevation as
the Regulatory Flood Protection Elevation. We suggest that the equipment be elevated more
than that. If there is any sort of error during construction that results in the equipment being less
than the RFPE, it will be have to me moved prior to the issuance of the Elevation Certificate.
That could be very expensive and time consuming. Somewhere in the submittal a note was
included that stated that the HVAC equipment was to be located on the roof. If that is the case,
remove the HVAC from the Floodplain Exhibit.
The detail has been revised. (HVAC equipment will be on the roof)
10. Please note all red-lined comments on the plat, site plan and utility plans and make
corrections as indicated.
Acknowledged.
11. Please refer to the City's 'Floodplain Review Checklist 100% Development Review
Submittals' in preparation of the plans. It can be found at
