Topic: General
Comment Number: 1 Comment Originated: 07/14/2015
HR 07/14/2015: Site Plan: Placing the buildings closer than the 15 foot building setback will require a
modification to this standard or alternative compliance. How does the design mitigate the visual impacts
of closer proximity to the street, and how is the design equal to/better than a 15 foot setback?
RESPONSE: A Modification Request is included with the resubmittal.
Comment Number: 2 Comment Originated: 07/14/2015
HR 07/14/2015: We would like to see more refinement of the landscape plan, and this can be part of
the justification for comment 1. We need more evergreen material and a stronger, more distinctive
building foundation landscape concept. A less is more approach might be a nice look where there's a
mix of cobble sizes in larger beds combined with a looser mix of plant material, and with the material
further away from the building foundations where possible. This isn't the only approach, you could do
standard mulch. Mainly we just need the landscape plan to include more variety and significantly more
evergreen material. Also, the plan is very busy at 1:30 and very difficult to read the different symbols
with all of the other information (mulch hatching, etc.).
RESPONSE: Evergreen material has been added to the plan. Overall planting beds and the variety
of plan materials have been expanded as well. The scale of the drawings have been changed to
1:20.
Comment Number: 3 Comment Originated: 07/14/2015
HR 07/14/2015: Please see building elev. redlines. Also please show where the AC units and meters will
be located on the elevs. and all other plans, and how they will be screened. This is mentioned in the
planning objectives that this will be architectural? If on the ends of the buildings this could be a feature to
add variety/ visual interest to the building ends? For the formatting of the elevation drawings, the sheets
need to be to be drafted with linework only and include detailed materials notes and/or a material schedule.
The color elevations can be used with the PDP set in conjunction with the line drawings and also as a part
of the hearing presentation, but they need to be higher resolution. A material sampleboard is also required
that also includes paint samples.
RESPONSE: Please see revised elevations for some items as well as revised landscape plan for A/C
Unit pads.
Comment Number: 4 Comment Originated: 07/14/2015
HR 07/14/2015: Buildings F and G are not served by a design that qualifies as a major walkway spine.
We would need to process a modification for this and also connect the sidewalk east of the buildings.
RESPONSE: A Modification Request is included for the building entrances that are greater than
200’ from the street sidewalk.
Comment Number: 5 Comment Originated: 07/14/2015
HR 07/14/2015: The land use code supports the trail connection as a requirement of the project, as a
mid-block connection and in support of LUC 3.2.2.(C)(6) and (7). This development project would be required
to provide the final design and construction of the trail spur. No payments were made to the city for this work
with the past approval. Please acknowledge.

HR Comment Number: 12 Comment Originated: 07/15/2015 07/15/2015:
It appears that the cross section of Manhattan Avenue as shown on Sheet R1 is significantly less for the
roadway to the south of the property. It looks like it is about 1.67' less in this area. Did the roadwaycenterline
change?
RESPONSE: Roadway centerline did not shift, however the previous plans/cross section for Manhattan
Townhomes First Filing had an incorrect section, which may have led to some of the confusion. We are
providing the half-section for a Minor Collector (25’ Total, 11 travel, 6’ bike, 8’ parking).
The cross section shown, shows a EOP width of 47.67, which no cross section along the property meets this
width.
RESPONSE: I believe this is resolved from our meeting and subsequent discussions.

Comment Number: 1 Comment Originated: 07/15/2015
HR 07/15/2015: As the applicant is not able to meet a standard 100' buffer for the wetland, discussions
with Stormwater have allowed for enhancements to Stormwater property to the east of the development,
which will allow the applicant to meet the total area buffer requirements. Initially, we had discussed a
permanent easement for this area for the landscaping and associated maintenance. Recent discussions
with Stormwater have led us away from this idea and instead we would like to see the applicant establish
and maintain the landscaping for a period of at least three years until it reaches an agreed upon level of
success, at which point the continued maintained will be turned over to Stormwater.
RESPONSE: A note has been added to General Landscape Notes (#18) which states the following:
‘Landscaping within the Buffer Zone Enhancement Area shall be established and maintained for a
period of at least three years until it has reached an agreed upon level of success, at which point
the continued maintenance will be turned over to Stormwater.’
Comment Number: 2 Comment Originated: 07/15/2015
HR 07/15/2015: Please see notes on landscape plan for buffer area to the south. Suggestions include: 1.)
activating the western spur with chokecherry, plums, as well as possibly Twinberry honeysuckle and
thimbleberry 2.) Avoid shading shrubs and other plants with cottonwoods - chokecherry o.k. 3.) Move
junipers up away from the wetland edge and move moisture-loving plants down 4.) Cluster rabbitbrush,
snowberry, sumac and juniper to create and informal edge with some gaps/view sheds 5.) Don't shade
rabbitbrush 6.) currant, chokecherry, and plum in the moisture transition area and move cottonwoods closer
to edge of wetland
RESPONSE: The landscape has been adjusted per this comment.
HR Comment Number: 3 Comment Originated: 07/15/2015
07/15/2015: As for buffer enhancement plantings on Stormwater property: 1.) Do not plant trees and shrubs
in a line but cluster appropriately for the plants moisture/shade requirements and to allow for mowing and
maintenance 2.) Do not plant cottonwoods and plums together, nor junipers and cottonwoods together 3.)
Cluster juniper with rabbitbrush, as well as possibly red osier dogwood, sand cherry 4.) Instead of
rabbitbrush in the northwest corner of this area along edge, suggest wood's rose, snowberry and/or shrubby
cinquefoil
RESPONSE: The landscape has been adjusted per this comment.

HR 07/12/2015: FIRE LANES
General fire access is required to within 150' of all exterior portions of all buildings. This requirement has
been met with the proposed site plan and Emergency Access Easement to be dedicated.
One of the limiting factors from the past site plan review related to building heights in excess of 30'. This
requirement has been better defined in the last 2012 IFC revision, to the benefit of the applicant. Refer to
Section D105 of Appendix D for more information.
Code language and fire lane specifications provided below.

requirements of this section and shall extend to within 150 feet of all portions of the facility and all portions of
the exterior walls of the first story of the building as measured by an approved route around the exterior of the
building or facility. When any portion of the facility or any portion of an exterior wall of the first story of the
building is located more than 150 feet from fire apparatus access, the fire code official is authorized to increase
the dimension if the building is equipped throughout with an approved, automatic fire-sprinkler system.
> IFC D105.1: Where the vertical distance between the grade plane and the highest roof surface exceeds 30
feet, approved aerial fire apparatus access roads shall be provided. For purposes of this section, the highest
roof surface shall be determined by measurement to the eave of a pitched roof, the intersection of the roof to
the exterior wall, or the top of parapet walls, whichever is greater.
FIRE LANE SPECIFICATIONS
