Topic: Construction Drawings
Comment Number: 1 Comment Originated: 07/31/2012
07/31/2012: The floodplain exhibit on C4.1 of the construction plans incorrectly labels
an
attached 8' sidewalk along Elizabeth Street. Please label the general use of 10' wide
sidewalks
on the plan sets.
Response: This has been corrected. Please note, the Floodplain Exhibit is now Sheet C5.1.
Comment Number: 2 Comment Originated: 07/31/2012
07/31/2012: Please add the standard street patch note regarding limits of patch shown
on the
construction drawings.
Response: Done.
Comment Number: 5 Comment Originated: 07/31/2012
07/31/2012: Construction plan details should be added, to include a construction detail
for the
drive approaches, access ramps, sidewalk, etc.
Response: Done (see Sheets C4.0 – C4.2)
Comment Number: 6 Comment Originated: 07/31/2012
07/31/2012: Please ensure that with the final approved construction plan set that a
copy of the
plat is included in the set for reference.
Response: Done.
Topic: General
Comment Number: 3 Comment Originated: 07/31/2012
07/31/2012: The two drive approaches should have more definitive indication on the
plans
(especially the construction set) of how they intend to be modified to allow for suitable
crossing
of the sidewalk. The plans (except for one note on the site plan specific to the eastern
driveway) do not appear to have any indication of the drive approaches being rebuilt in
order
for the new sidewalk to not tie into driveways with both concrete and asphalt across this
interface. The concrete scoring indicative of the sidewalk crossing through the driveway
should
be shown on the drawings.
Response: Done. Both drive approaches have concrete extended well behind the public ROW and full
sidewalk widths, so there is no asphalt/concrete interface at the crossings.
Comment Number: 4 Comment Originated: 07/31/2012
07/31/2012: The sidewalk across the eastern driveway should be designed to anticipate
tying
into a 12' wide sidewalk to the east proposed with redevelopment of that property. The
plans
should show a widening from 10' to 12' in order to make the tie in. A note on the plans
can be
placed acknowledging a deviation of the plan could be considered in the event that
redevelopment of the property to the east is no longer apparent.
Response: The design of the Wendy’s drive-thru exit and sidewalk transition at the eastern boundary
has been revised and coordinated with the proposed redevelopment of the adjacent property. It should
be noted that the sidewalk design at the western boundary of Lot 2, Eleventh Fairview Subdivision
redevelopment will need to be adjusted slightly to account for the vertical difference of the drive-thru exit
(± flush with Elizabeth flowline) to standard sidewalk elevation (± 6” above flowline).
Comment Number: 7 Comment Originated: 07/31/2012
07/31/2012: Please change the title on all the drawings provided by Aller-Lingle-Massey
to
Fairview Shopping Center Filing Four to coordinate with the other drawings.
Response: The title block has been revised.

shared
parking easement recorded prior to approval of the final plan/plat.

07/31/2012: Please add the following notes to the Landscape Plan:
"The soil in all landscape areas, shall be thoroughly loosened to a depth of not less than
eight
(8) inches and soil amendment shall be thoroughly incorporated into the soil of all
landscape
areas to a depth of at least six (6) inches by tilling, discing or other suitable method, at a
rate of
at least three (3) cubic yards of soil amendment per one thousand (1,000) square feet of
landscape area."
Please include these landscape notes:
A permit must be obtained from the City forester before any trees or shrubs as noted on
this
plan are planted, pruned or removed on the public right-of-way. This includes zones
between
the sidewalk and curb, medians and other city property. This permit shall approve the
location
and species to be planted. Failure to obtain this permit may result in replacing or
relocating
trees and a hold on certificate of occupancy.
The developer shall contact the City Forester to inspect all street tree plantings at the
completion of the development. All trees need to have been installed and protected as
shown on the landscape plan. Failure to obtain approval by the City Forester for trees
shall
result in a hold on certificate of occupancy.

Comment Number: 1. Comment Originated: 07/31/2012
07/31/2012: The address is required to be visible from the street fronting the property.
Response: The building address will be installed on the north elevation of the building facing W.
Elizabeth Street.
Comment Number: 2. Comment Originated: 07/31/2012
07/31/2012: The unit numbers shall be visible from the fire lane, be a minimum 4
inches in
width with a 1 inch stroke posted on a contrasting background.
Response: Unit numbers to be installed will meet this criteria.
Comment Number: 3. Comment Originated: 07/31/2012
07/31/2012: This project will be fire sprinklered. The standard water supply is a 6 inch
line. A
4 inch can be used, if the hydraulic calculations support the smaller line. Calculations
must be
submitted to verify the 4 inch line.
Response: The fire line has been changed to a 6 inch line.
Comment Number: 4. Comment Originated: 07/31/2012
07/31/2012: A 3 story building requires a 30 foot wide fire lane that does not exceed
150 feet in
length; or if it is longer, a turn-around is required at the end of the fire lane.
Response: The CRT review comments we received on 10/31/11 state that a full type NFPA 13 sprinkler
system could be used to offset the deficiency of an emergency access that exceeded 150 feet based on
the site constraints that do not allow a turn around. The comment also states that the width of the
emergency access is required to be 20'. The project does in fact have a full type NFPA 13 sprinkler
system that has been included to meet this condition.
Based on these comments from the CRT, the project was designed around these parameters and the
drive aisles on the east and south sides of the buildings are designed to be 24' min. widths and there is
currently no additional space on the site to increase these to 30' without making the building footprint
smaller or losing parking spaces all of which are key to make the project work as a whole. The drive
aisles also have no easements associated with them but do connect to both CD Potts parking lot system
to the west and to the Wendys drive-thru lane to the east.

07/30/2012: Move the curb stop and meter pit north into the landscaped area.
Response: The limits of hardscape and landscape have been revised, per Water Utilities’ redlines, such
that the curb stop and meter pit are surrounded by crusher fines and not concrete.
Comment Number: 2 Comment Originated: 07/30/2012
07/30/2012: Is the existing sewer service 4" or 6"? If 4", it is strongly suggested that
the
service be replaced with 6" to avoid potential maintenance/plugging problems at the
connection between the existing 4" and the proposed 6" coming out of the building. The
sewer
service is maintained by the property owner from the building to the sewer main in the
street
including the connection at the main.
Response: The assumption is that the existing sewer service is 4” and will be abandoned back at the
main. It is assumed that a new 6” service will be extended from the main to the building.

Any existing tree on site that is remaining needs to be indicated as protected.
Please coordinate off site mitigation trees with City Forester and plans should document
