In reference to the Zoning comment for ROW landscaping, the parkway planting east of drive isle needs
to include 4 street shade trees extending to east property line and in centerline of parkway strip between
curb and detached sidewalk. The proposed Shumard Red Oak (located just east of drive isle - behind
sidewalk) should be moved into parkway tree row and included as group of 4 trees mentioned above.
RESPONSE: We have added the requested shade trees to the landscape plan.

Figure 19-6 of LCUASS specifies the minimum setback for a parking stall along a driveway from a
public street. The range varies from 20 feet to 50 feet, but needs ADT information from a traffic study in
order to determine. Depending on the information provided in the traffic study, there may need to be a
couple of parking spaces removed on the west side of the drive aisle in order to meet this requirement (it
appears that two parking spaces could be provided on the east side of the drive aisle that would still meet
the 50 foot requirement).
RESPONSE: The handicap parking stalls were shifted south and additional spaces were added on the
east.

The development is required to meet the City's LID requirements which include 50% of the land area
draining through an infiltration device and 25% of all private parking and drive aisles be porous
pavement. The regulations also include an equal to or better option. If 50% of the existing site were to
drain through and infiltration device, the City would agree that this option were equal to or better.
RESPONSE: The pre-sedimentation basins have been sized to provide for ponding to a 1’ depth, then
overtop and spill south into the existing detention pond. The design has been coordinated with Basil
Hamdan and Wes Lamarque and LID basins sized accordingly. The LID basins will serve the existing
and expanded site, and will offset the need for porous pavers, as the 50% is covered by the LID basins.
