01/18/2017: PREMISE IDENTIFICATION & WAYFINDING
As Townhome access is to the rear of these units, addressing within this development will require
additional consideration and advanced planning. Naming of private alleys is recommended.
Naming shall be done with the addresses posted on each structure and where otherwise needed
to aid in wayfinding. A man-door should be available facing the alley to provide emergency
access. Code language provided below.
> IFC 505.1: New buildings shall have approved address numbers, building numbers or approved
building identification placed in a position that is plainly legible, visible from the street or road
fronting the property, and posted with a minimum of six-inch numerals on a contrasting
background. Where access is by means of a private road and the building cannot be viewed from
the public way, a monument, pole or other sign or means shall be used to identify the structure.
ADDRESS POSTING - LOCAL AMENDMENT
> IFC 505.1.8: Buildings that are addressed on one street, but are accessible from other streets,
shall have the address numbers and street name on each side that is accessible form another
street.
RESPONSE: A signage plan has been provided for review/comment.

Comment Number: 1 Comment Originated: 01/18/2017
01/18/2017: In general, the overall layout, while practical, appears overly rectilinear and
regimented and would benefit by softening the overall layout at least to some degree. While the
principles of new urbanism are on full display, there is an over-abundance of right angles and
repetition. For example, could Buildings Q and R be further differentiated either by providing
greater separation or off-setting orientation to the private alley? Could Building O ben angled
relative to its juxtaposition with Building P to add interest? Could Buildings H, L and N be offset
from each other relative to their alignment along both the private alley and the open space to add
11
variety?
RESPONSE: Buildings E, H and N have been shifted to provide more interest on-site. Building Q
and R have not been shifted as they are constrained by the intersection locations of the alley at
Bluegrass Drive.
Within the single family attached buildings, could individual units or entrances be varied and
offsetting? Otherwise there may be no privacy on the front porches. Could the long private
alley on the west feature a long sweep or curve? It seems the entire project would benefit from
some curvature or variety in building placement, individual unit placement and/or private alley
alignment so that the overall arrangement is less rigid.
RESPONSE: Private Drive B (N) has been revised to include the largest radius possible.
Buildings have been staggered to provide more variation on the site. The exact location of
buildings on the single family lots has not yet been determined. We should be able to provide
additional information on this with our FDP submittal.
Comment Number: 2 Comment Originated: 01/18/2017
01/18/2017: Staff recommends that a pedestrian bridge be placed at the southern terminus of
Hillock Street (or private alley, whichever the case may be) that connects the residents over
Dixon Creek to the open space designated on the plat as Tract E. Essentially, this project is a
cluster development plan with Tract E being a five acre private park, but as currently designed;
the project does not take full advantage of this important site attribute. This private park should
instead be more fully integrated with the overall project so that it can be enjoyed by the residents.
The bridge does not have to be designed to the level of that seen on the City’s regional bike trails.
Rather, it could be reduced in size so as to not appear to be part of the regional trail system.
RESPONSE: A pedestrian bridge has been added on the west side of the property.
Construction will be necessary in this area for swales and drainage which will make the addition of
the bridge less of an overall disruption to the natural habitat buffer area than if it were located
along the eastern side of the property. Spurs have been added providing a connection to both
Drake and Overland.
Comment Number: 3 Comment Originated: 01/18/2017
01/18/2017: In order to further promote Tract E as an asset for the residents, has any
consideration been given to providing soft walking paths? At five acres, there are opportunities
to promote walking and fitness with a soft path walking loop. This loop could be enhanced with
spurs connecting to Drake Road and Overland Trail. It seems that the benefits of the open
space are being under-utilized.
RESPONSE: Soft surface trails have been added to the southern portion of the property with
spurs to both Drake and Overland.
Comment Number: 4 Comment Originated: 01/18/2017
01/18/2017: Along the north property line, within Tract A, staff recommends that this area be
planted in a more dense fashion than indicated in order to buffer the access drive to the drive-in
movie theatre. This access drive is the eastbound queuing lane for the theatre and there will be
idling vehicles that may prove to be a problem during the evenings in the summer months. Upon
exiting, this lane gets stacked up in a similar fashion in a westbound direction. The plans are not
clear whether or not a new privacy fence is planned for along this property line. In general, it
appears more consideration needs to be given to ensure compatibility between the existing
drive-in theatre and the proposed P.D.P.
RESPONSE: Additional planting has been added in this area. A privacy fence will be provided as
well.
Comment Number: 5 Comment Originated: 01/18/2017
01/18/2017: Similarly, the plans are not clear as to whether or not the project will construct a
12
common rear-lot privacy fence along the east property line. Is a common fence proposed or will
rear yard fencing be left up to each individual lot owner? Or, does the developer plan on relying
upon the neighbors’ existing fencing? This issue will likely be a topic at the upcoming
neighborhood meeting. In comparable projects, staff has seen a unified common rear yard
fence, with masonry columns at the property corners, offered as the successful solution to this
design issue.
RESPONSE: A common rear lot fence will be required by the HOA. It has been added to the
plans and will be built by either the builder or homeowner.
Comment Number: 6 Comment Originated: 01/18/2017
01/18/2017: Is there a sufficient amount of guest parking? There are similar projects where
guest parking is distributed throughout the project. For example, guest parking at the mail
cluster box will double as a handy pick up point. Guest parking could also double as good
locations for plowed snow.
RESPONSE: Yes! Additional parking has been provided. The plan now includes 48 additional
parking spaces.
Comment Number: 7 Comment Originated: 01/18/2017
01/18/2017: Please consider adding an east-west connecting walkway between Buildings G/H
and K/L that ties the internal green space (Tract C) to Overland Trail. This is approximately the
midpoint between Bluegrass Drive on the south and the east-west private alley on the north and
will enhance the overall walkability of the project and add another view opportunity to the west.
RESPONSE: Walks have been added between all of the buildings connecting the alley’s to the
front yard sidewalks.
Comment Number: 8 Comment Originated: 01/18/2017
01/18/2017: The aerial maps indicate that there are a significant number of trees along the west
property line that may be in the existing Overland Trail public right-of-way. What is the status of
these trees after the 7.5 feet dedicated for additional public right-of-way and the 15 feet dedicated
as a utility easement? These trees are not addressed either in the project narrative or on the
Landscape Plan. Please provide a detailed response as to the status and proposed disposition
of these trees. Hopefully, a significant number of these trees can be preserved.
RESPONSE: A tree inventory/mitigation plan has been provided with this submittal.
Comment Number: 9 Comment Originated: 01/18/2017
01/18/2017: The existing trees that are totally on private property and are slated to be removed
will need to be identified and mitigated per Section 3.2.1(F) in conjunction with a site inspection
by the City Forester. Then, the Landscape Plan needs to indicate the extent of the tree removal,
reason for removal and tree mitigation both in table form and on the Plan. As we have required
on other projects, a separate Tree Mitigation Plan sheet may be needed.
RESPONSE: A tree inventory/mitigation plan has been provided with this submittal.
Comment Number: 10 Comment Originated: 01/18/2017
01/18/2017: Staff is concerned about the 12 single family attached dwellings facing on the
southwest side of Bluegrass Drive and the extent of the garages facing north to Bluegrass Drive.
Although there is an open space area between Bluegrass Drive and the private alley (Tract H),
this area looks sparsely landscaped as it appears to be a drainage conveyance channel. The
exposure of 12 garages to a public street needs to be mitigated with landscaping despite the
challenges of the drainage channel.
RESPONSE: Additional planting has been provided.
Comment Number: 11 Comment Originated: 01/18/2017
01/18/2017: In the private alleys, with the garages arranged as proposed, staff recommends a
landscape strip between driveways. Such landscaping should be sufficiently dense and vertical
13
to prevent informal parallel parking from spilling over onto the neighboring driveway. This
landscaping will also improve the overall aesthetics of the private alleys.
RESPONSE: Landscape strips have been added.

01/18/2017: On the S-1 fixture, be sure to specify that the maximum Kelvin temperature is 3,000
degrees. Higher values are not residential in character and are more suited for commercial
environments.
RESPONSE: The fixture schedule indicates a requirement for 3000 degree K rating.
Comment Number: 14 Comment Originated: 01/18/2017
01/18/2017:Regarding the S-2 fixture, the plans are confusing. While sheet E3
describes these as wall-mounted fixtures, sheet E1 shows them to be
free-standing at 10 feet in height. These fixtures must be wall-mounted and
shown to be located at the garage setback, eight feet behind the flowline of the alley.
RESPONSE: A detail has been added to sheet E3 which shows the installation of the S1 fixture
on a 15-foot pole. All S2 fixtures are building mounted at the designated height, mounted on the
garages.
