Dear T.K.:
Staff has reviewed Hicks Special Review #z-15-88, and has the following
comments:
1. Our traffic engineer questions why the developer doesn't access off of
the frontage road as well as State Highway 392.
2. The landscape plan is inadequate. There should be more plant material
along Highway 392 and the site should be buffered from existing
and future land uses adjacent to the property. The landscape should be
automatically irrigated.
3. "Sunburst Honeylocusts" are bright yellow trees usually used as an
accent. Since these are the only deciduous canopy trees proposed for
the site, a species with green foliage would be more appropriate. The
same comment goes for the Junipers selected which are blue and gold.
4. The combination of brick veneer, synthetic stucco and cedar trim make
the south facade very busy. Staff would encourage less diverse
building materials and simpler architectural detailing. What does the
south elevation look like?
5. What kind of signage and lighting is proposed?
6. What does the gas canopy look like?
Thank you for the opportunity to review this proposal and please call if
you have any questions.
Sincerely,
U�
Linda Ripley
Project Planner
