Sheet A2.0 has been revised with a driveway detail that shows access improvements in the R.O.W. Comment 3 Once the emergency access easement layout has been approved by PFA and finalized, the revised emergency access easement legal and exhibit will need to be resubmitted for review and approval by the rest of City staff. Once it is approved, we will coordinate recording of the documents. The applicant will be responsible for recording fees (tbd once documents are finalized).

Note #2 added on sheet A1.0 addressing this comment. Comment 7 With regards to construction of this site, the public right-of-way shall not be used for staging or storage of materials or equipment associated with the development, nor shall it be used for parking by any contractors, subcontractors, or other personnel working for or hired by the Developer to construct the Development.

Note #8 added on sheet A1.0 addressing this comment. Comment 8 It appears that the plans are indicating a proposed Verizon access/utility easement being dedicated over what would normally be a city standard 15’ utility easement adjacent to the Harmony Rd. ROW. This easement needs to be dedicated with this project and cannot be an exclusive Verizon access/utility easement. The submittal, review and approval process for this easement will be the same as for the emergency access easement. Please coordinate with City Engineering staff to ensure that the correct submittals are made, and fees paid. Refer to site acquisition.

Electric capacity fees, development fees, building site charges and any system modification charges necessary to feed the site will apply to this development. No action taken on drawings. Comment 2 Transformer locations will need to be coordinated with Light & Power. Transformer must be placed within 10ft of a drivable surface for installation and maintenance purposes.
