01/08/2018: We'll want to discuss timing of the vacation of utility related easements in conjunction with the impacted utility
provider(s). Typically we coordinate these documents prior to plan approval, but with the utilities being existing, I suspect the
utility providers would not prefer to vacate easement(s) until the utilities are physically relocated. (Any newly dedicated utility
easement can at least be coordinated prior to plan approval). Ultimately I'm looking to ensure that the timing of the dedications
and vacations of easements are processed such that the dedications are completed prior to plan approval and the vacations
are typically completed upon the work being done to relocate them.
RESPONSE: Acknowledged.

01/08/2018: I'll want verification from Stormwater/Water Utilities on whether a new development agreement or amendment to
the existing development agreement will be needed.
RESPONSE: As discussed at staff review, Stormwater will not need a new DA. An escrow amount will be determined.

01/03/2018: LIGHTING PLAN: The light fixtures previously approved for Harmony Commons Lots 3, 4, 5 and 6 all had color
temperatures of 3000K. Please update all light fixtures to match (all fixtures are currently shown as 4000K).
Lots 3, 4 & 5: http://citydocs.fcgov.com/?cmd=convert&vid=51&docid=2735495&dt=L-LIGHTING+PLAN
Lot 6: http://citydocs.fcgov.com/?cmd=convert&vid=51&docid=2950361&dt=L-LIGHTING+PLAN
RESPONSE: This site needs to be evaluated with the context of the overall development. Changing colors for this site is not
the appropriate break point.
These lot share common private drives. One of these private drives is already illuminated and a 2nd intersecting private drive
is being illuminated as part of the lot 5 development. Since the lights are in a common development and literally illuminate
common intersecting private streets that feed into this property it is our desire to maintain uniformity throughout the
development. Therefore we want to match the color of the adjacent development lighting that this property is a part of.

A note has been added to the photometric submittal addressing building mount lighting control.
Comment Number: 2 Comment Originated: 01/03/2018
01/03/2018: LIGHTING PLAN: For the BB light fixture, please consider the motion/ambient light sensor option to reduce
unnecessary lighting at night. Alternatively, automatic dimming or shut-off after a certain time of night could be considered.
The surrounding street and parking lot lighting in this area should provide adequate security when the building is not in use.
RESPONSE: Exterior lighting control is function of design and building code requirements and is included in the building
department permit submittal process. Thus is implemented by the Electrical Engineer of Record creating the permit
documentation.
This is a photometric submittal to evaluate worst case exterior lighting contribution from proposed fixtures used on the site of
the project.
Per building code exterior egress lighting is to be maintained during all occupied hours or operations, this typically eliminates
the use of motion sensors.
Per the IECC astronomical time clocks or photoelectric control is code required so these will definitely be implemented into the
control design.
A note has been added to the photometric plan.

01/03/2018: NATURE IN THE CITY: This location could be a great opportunity to partner with Nature in the City or other
community programs to install a habitat garden and/or vegetable garden as a site amenity. Other child care centers in town
have made similar improvements, in some cases funded by local non-profits or the Nature in the City program. Please contact
me if you would like to discuss this opportunity further.

01/08/2018: It appears the number of Kentucky Coffeetree and Bur Oak exceed the maximum percentage species diversity
on the landscape plans. According to LUC 3.2.1 (D) 3, if there are 60 or more trees on-site, the maximum percentage of any
one species allowed is 15%. Because there are 66 trees proposed on the plans, all species must fall below 15% diversity.
Please incorporate additional species such as Hackberry and Accolade Elm to balance out the diversity percentages.

01/03/2018: The Community Recycling Ordinance (No. 109 2016) requires that all new business and multifamily complexes
subscribe to recycling service that is at minimum 1/3 of their overall service capacity(total bin capacity x number of weekly
pickups, include both trash and recycling when calculating overall service capacity). In general recycling containers must be at
least 50% the size of proposed trash containers to meet this requirement. Please make sure proposed containers meet this
requirement and that adequate space is provided in all enclosures.
RESPONSE: The trash enclosure is dimensioned on Sheet A-3.0. It should be adequately sized at 16’-8” x 15’-4”. We have
also been told that the day care use does not generate a lot of trash as compared to an office or restaurant use.

01/09/2018: Proposed transformer location shown is considered to be out-of-access. The transformer needs to be no more
than 10' from the asphalt. Also, it needs to be a minimum of 2' behind the sidewalk. A concrete pad, able to support a line
truck, could be poured in the parkway for access. This would have to be a minimum of 9' wide.
RESPONSE: The transformer location has been moved to be within access of the asphalt drive.
Comment Number: 2 Comment Originated: 01/09/2018
01/09/2018: Proposed transformer location does not meet clearance requirements from doors. "Oil insulated, pad-mounted

01/09/2018: A Child Care Center is a permitted use in the Harmony Corridor zone, subject to Administrative Review (Type
One). But, Lot 5 of Harmony Commons is within a designated Convenience Shopping Center which is a permitted use within
the H-C, Harmony Corridor zone, subject to Planning and Zoning Board review (Type Two). The original P.D.P. for Lots 3,4
and 5 was approved by the P & Z Board. Therefore, the Major Amendment is also subject to review by the Planning and
Zoning Board.
RESPONSE: Noted.
Comment Number: 2 Comment Originated: 01/09/2018
01/09/2018: Both Child Care Center and Convenience Shopping Center are further defined by the Harmony Corridor zone as
Secondary Uses. Within Harmony Commons, Parcel S of the O.D.P., there can no more than a total of 7.57 acres of
secondary uses.
The table that describes the breakdown between primary and secondary uses must use all of Tract S as the basis as this is
how the O.D.P., Seventh Amendment, was approved. Please adjust the table to include all seven lots and use the Replat as
the basis for the lot sizes. Please note that this will require that Lots 1 and 7 be developed as Primary Uses.
RESPONSE: Table has been adjusted for the calculations as discussed.
Comment Number: 3 Comment Originated: 01/09/2018
01/09/2018: If there was a curb cut on Timberwood that aligned with the north-south drive in front of the building, then three
sides of the parking lot drive would not be needed to be dedicated as fire lanes. As such, in any location where the drive
aisles do not serve double-loaded parking, these drives could be reduced in width from 24 to 20 feet in width and there would
be less impervious surface and less area needed to be dedicated as an Emergency Access Easement. It appears that such
a driveway would comply with the spacing requirements from the intersection.
RESPONSE: Brinkman and the day care operator have decided not to pursue access off Timberwood at this time, although
this might be re-visited at Final Plan review.
Comment Number: 4 Comment Originated: 01/09/2018
01/09/2018: What is the expectation for cross-access to allow the lunch crowd to be able to park on Lot 5? If the
expectation is to allow for cross-access for parking, please indicate on the Site Plan with an explanatory note.
RESPONSE: Note added under the parking statistics.
Comment Number: 5 Comment Originated: 01/09/2018
01/09/2018: Regarding parking lot perimeter landscaping, there are gaps along the northwest portion of the parking lot.
These gaps need to be filled in to comply with Section 3.2.1(E) (4).
RESPONSE: It is our preference not to add more shrubs to this area. We are trying to be consistent with the existing
parkway treatment on the north side of the private drive, which is mainly irrigated turf and street trees. See landscape plan
5
for Lots 3 and 4.
Comment Number: 6 Comment Originated: 01/09/2018
01/09/2018: The fence linework is hard to follow and distinguish from other lines. On the site plan it appears that the area
southwest of the building is not fenced but shows as being fenced on the landscape plan. Both plans use a different graphic
depiction for the fence. Please label all linework and use a consistent, distinctive graphic so the extent of the fence can be
followed.
RESPONSE: Fencing is now shown clearly on the site and landscape plans.
Comment Number: 7 Comment Originated: 01/09/2018
01/09/2018: Regarding the extent of the fence, Staff is concerned about the fence along not only a portion of the west and
south sides but also along the entire east and most of the north sides of the building as well. This results in a significant
exposure along Lady Moon Drive. Staff has learned that the east sidewalk provides access from the building to the outdoor
play areas. With this being a walkway and not an outdoor play area, Staff recommends that the fencing along Lady Moon be
softened in both material and height. Perhaps wrought iron (or its visual equivalent) could be considered. And, at six feet in
height, this fence would comprise approximately one-third of the total building height (18' 10" to the top of the parapet). Staff
encourages the applicant to consider a lower height along this area, especially since the site is slightly elevated above the
grade of the public right-of-way.
RESPONSE: The applicant is proposing a 6’ metal ornamental fence along the length of the east side of the building which
will enhance transparency through to the building beyond and soften the visual impact of the fence in this area. The fence
would transition to a 6’ vinyl semi-private fence for the southernmost 40’ of the east property line where it abuts the play area
to provide required privacy and security for the children.
Comment Number: 8 Comment Originated: 01/09/2018
01/09/2018: Section 3.8.11 requires that fences along collectors (Lady Moon Drive) that exceed 100 feet must vary in
alignment or setback at least one-third of the length of the fence by a minimum of five feet. The standard also includes
a qualitative aspect that fences must be made visually interesting by integrating architectural elements such as brick or stone
columns, incorporating articulation or openings into the design varying the alignment or setback or softening the appearance
with plantings or similar techniques.
RESPONSE: The applicant is proposing approximately 100’ feet of metal ornamental fencing and 40’ of vinyl semi-private
fencing as described in the response to Comment Number 7 above. We request that the change in fencing material together
with the extensive landscaping proposed adjacent to the fence been deemed sufficient to address the requirements of Section
3.8.11.
Comment Number: 9 Comment Originated: 01/09/2018
01/09/2018: Please provide more detail on the specifications of the proposed fence. I could not find any references on the
internet to the Rahab, Inc. It is not clear what exactly is proposed with references like “semi-private” or “Danbury.”
The color must be specified. Staff recommends that white not be selected as PVC white causes glare. With the extent of
fencing proposed, an earth-tone color would be more compatible with the center.
RESPONSE: Brochures for proposed fencing have been submitted to Ted Shepard under separate cover. Sheet A-3.0 has
an elevation of the Rafab, Inc. vinyl semi-private fence in the “Danbury” style. We propose the “almond” color for this fence,
subject to City and private Design Review Board approval. Both fence types are shown on Sheet L2.
Comment Number: 10 Comment Originated: 01/09/2018
01/09/2018: With regard to the fence alignment along Timberwood, please reconcile the Site and Landscape plans.

01/09/2018: Fences cannot exceed 42 inches in any sight distance triangle. There may be a sight distance triangle at the
north driveway.
RESPONSE: one will not be needed as the fence on the east stops at the eastern entry door.
Comment Number: 12 Comment Originated: 01/09/2018
01/09/2018: Please indicate if there will be rooftop mechanical equipment. If so, please provide a building cross-section that
indicates the equipment mounting height relative to the height of the parapet to ensure proper screening. If the parapet is
insufficient, then a roof-mounted mechanical screen wall will be required to screen the equipment from the public streets.
The elevations indicate what appears to be a rooftop screen but it’s not labeled. If this is a screen wall, then it appears to be
relatively sizable (27 feet long by 4.5 feet high). Staff will need a sample of the material for this screen wall.
RESPONSE: The roof top equipment is now labeled on Sheet A-2.0 as is the height of the top of the roof. Roof top
equipment is fully screened by the parapet. There is no rooftop screen proposed – the extent of the view of the parapet is
now labeled on the elevations to clarify this depiction.

Comment Number: 13 Comment Originated: 01/09/2018
01/09/2018: Utility meters, electrical panels, gas valves, phone and cable pedestals and outdoor condensing units will likely
be located along the east elevation facing Lady Moon Drive. Since the exact location and extent of these appurtenances are
not yet determined, please add a Site Plan Note and General Landscape Note that ensures these various devices must be
screened by landscaping or by a screen wall or any combination thereof and that adjustments in the field may be necessary to
achieve compliance prior to issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy. Staff has learned that the transformer will likely be
moved either off-site to the north, or remain on-site but closer to the intersection of Lady Moon and the private east-west drive.
Please note that both locations will end up being highly visible and will need to be landscaped in accordance with the
clearance requirements of Light and Power.
RESPONSE: Note added to Site and Landscape Plans.

01/09/2018: On the architectural elevations, the brick color BR-1 is not specified. Please be sure to make a selection prior
to either the next round of review or the public hearing. As noted, it may be helpful to provide a material sample board prior
to public hearing.
RESPONSE: BR-1 is now specified as “Red Centennial Velour”. We are preparing a material sample board which will be
submitted prior to public hearing.
Comment Number: 15 Comment Originated: 01/09/2018
01/09/2018: On the trash and recycling enclosure, staff prefers that the person door not have a gate. This allows for
hands-free access.
RESPONSE: As discussed, it is the day care’s desire to have a door. The type and amount of trash generated by a child
care center is minimal.
Comment Number: 16 Comment Originated: 01/09/2018
01/09/2018: On the Lighting Plan, please decrease the Kelvin temperatures on the exterior lighting from 4,000 to 3,000
degrees. Higher Kelvin temperatures for the commercial areas of Harmony Commons were allowed based on the anticipated
level of evening patrons visiting the various restaurants and brew pub. Since the child care center will not experience this
level of night time activity, there is no comparable justification for 4,000 degrees Kelvin. Staff recommends that building
mounted lighting be equipped with automatic dimming capability after hours.
RESPONSE: Thank you for your recommendations.
This site needs to be evaluated with the context of the overall development. Changing colors for this site is not the appropriate
break point.
These lot share common private drives. One of these private drives is already illuminated and a 2nd intersecting private drive
is being illuminated as part of the lot 5 development. Since the lights are in a common development and literally illuminate

Comment Number: 17 Comment Originated: 01/10/2018
01/10/2018: Staff is concerned that the east elevation facing Lady Moon lacks horizontal relief. The length of the east side of
the building is 130 feet. Please note that Section 3.5.3(D) – Variation in Massing – requires that horizontal masses must not
exceed a height : width ratio of 1 : 3 without substantial variation in massing that includes a change in height and a projecting
or recessed elements.
RESPONSE: The East elevation has been revised to show a Variation in Massing per City requirements. The parapet has
been extended up at the classroom doors and pushed out 6”. A clear anodized sun screen canopy has been added above
these doors and windows to provide a purpose of function with the massing change as required by the City code.
Comment Number: 18 Comment Originated: 01/10/2018
01/10/2018: Also, with regard to the east elevation, Section 3.5.3(E)(2)(a) addresses minimum wall articulation and requires
that building bays be a maximum of 30 feet and visually established by architectural features such as columns, ribs, or
pilaster, piers and fenestration pattern. The standard goes on to state that no wall that faces a street shall have a blank,
uninterrupted length exceeding 30 feet without including at least two of the following: change in plane, change in texture or
masonry pattern, windows, treillage with vines, or an equivalent element that subdivides the wall into human scale proportions.

01/09/2018: Existing street lighting will need to be removed from photometric site plan. Light levels measured twenty (20)
feet beyond the property line of the development site (adjacent to residential uses or public rights-of-way) shall not exceed
one-tenth (0.1) foot-candle as a direct result of the on-site lighting.
RESPONSE: We will shut off the existing private drive street lighting to the north as requested. However, this lot needs to be
evaluated in the overall context of the development. The private street to the West of Lot 5 is being illuminated as part of the
Lot 5 improvements and is part of the access to the overall development.
