10/19/2020: FOR HEARING - -UNRESOLVED:
Section 3.9.3 - Building setback form I-25 Centerline.
The setback distance from the new I-25 centerline needs to be measured to the nearest building edge, as
well as to the fuel canopies to reflect that all structures on the site meet the minimum setback. DCI
Response: The setback distance from I-25 centerline has been revised to measure from the nearest
building edge. A setback distancer has also been added to measure from the nearest fuel canopy
edge to I-25 centerline.
- RESOLVED: Section 3.9.4 (B) Landscape Buffer. Please provide a Request
for Modification of Standards to the requirement for an 80 foot landscape buffer
between building or parking lot edge and I-25 ROW. See Article Two - 2.8 for
criteria and requirements for Modifications.
-RESOLVED: Please consider what additional landscaping on site can be used to make up for
lack of 80' buffer on east boundary, as equal to or better than a plan in compliance.

10/19/2020: FOR HEARING - UNRESOLVED:
Section 3.5.3(C)(2) – Orientation to Build to Lines for Streetfront Buildings
Based on past discussions regarding the build-to requirement staff has
considered that the site is eligible for the following exceptions to the standard.
Exception 1 can be granted if you further enhance the proposed seating area to
the west of the building. Furtherinternal discussions between Stormwater and
Planning have determined that, while permeable pavers over the sand filter is
not feasible, you could adjust the dimensions of the sand filter to accomodate
additional pavement on it's northern side to create a larger plaza area with
additional tables. Additionally, the previous comment regarding a pedestrian
connection down to the detention area to the west still stands. Enhancing that
detention with additional landscaping and/or customer amenities such as
benches or tables for seating would strengthen the application, and help meet
this standard. If no enhancements can be made than a modification to the
standard should be discussed.
3
DCI Response: Based of the “Project Review” meeting on October 21, 2020 and discussions with
Will Lindsey, Pete Wray and Dan Mogen, adding picnic tables in the bottom of the detention pond
will enhance the proposed seating area west of the building and will help satisfy “Exception 1”.
Three picnic tables have been added to the bottom of the pond. A pedestrian connection/access
has also been provided to these tables and the area at the bottom of the detention pond. Additional
Landscaping has also been added to the detention area.
In order to form an outdoor space such as a plaza, courtyard, patio or garden between a building
and the sidewalk. Such a larger front yard area shall
have landscaping, low walls, fencing or railings, a tree canopy and/or other similar site improvements
along the sidewalk designed for pedestrian interest, comfort and visual continuity.
Exception 2 can be granted due to the high traffic volume on Carpenter Rd, the
existing landform, and the lack of an established pattern.
1. If the building abuts a four-lane or six-lane arterial street, and the Director
has determined that an alternative to the street sidewalk better serves the purpose of
connecting commercial destinations due to one (1) or more of the following constraints:
a. high volume and/or speed of traffic on the abutting street(s),
b. landform,
c. an established pattern of existing buildings that makes a
pedestrian-oriented streetfront infeasible.
Exception 4 can also be granted due to the larger front yard area required off of
the Frontage Rd which includes the 10 ft utility easement.
4. If a larger or otherwise noncompliant front yard area is required by the City to
continue an established drainage channel or access drive, or other easement.

09/08/2020: FOR FINAL PLAN:
Contours aren't typically shown on utility plan sheets (7 of 13). If you want to include them, you should be
showing proposed grading. It looks like you are just showing existing contours on the utility plan sheet
currently. DCI Response: The contours have been removed from the Utility Plan.
Comment Number: 16
09/08/2020: FOR FINAL PLAN:
See frontage road plan and profile sheet for comments. The slope labels shown there, don't
match what is called out on your cross sections. There are also errant labels for contours that
aren't shown on the plan, bearings that aren't labeling any linework, etc.
DCI Response: The slope labels have been revised and are consistent with the slope labels shown
in the cross sections. Removed all non-applicable labels.

these be dedicated by plat or separate document?
