RMS Response: All grayed back tress are part of previous filings. Trees have been placed where possible
in all instances where there is not utility conflict. On the alley side of the buildings, there are utility conflicts,
so there is a landscape constraint in those area. Additional shades trees have been provided where
possible in the updated submittal to provide a more robust tree canopy. Let us know if you have any
additional questions or concerns about the tree placements.
Comment Number: 3
02/24/2020: FOR HEARING:
3.2.1(E)(2) Landscape Area Treatment: Please provide a detailed typical

the standards for projects within the TOD Overlay. This project is located
outside of the TOD Overlay and is therefore subject to the parking requirements
as outlined in Section 3.2.2.(K)(1)(a). Please update the parking calculations
accordingly. FYI, staff calculates that the required parking is 189 spaces,
therefore the current calculation is short by 64 spaces. Additional parking will
need to be allocated throughout the site to meet the minimum parking
requirement. Staff
recommends looking at potentially allocating additional
spaces on the north side of the
project and/or on-street parking along
Barnstormer street and Vicot Way.
RMS Response: The parking table has been updated to show accurate data.
- FOR HEARING - It is not entirely clear to staff how many how many single and

Comment Number: 3
02/18/2020: FOR INFORMATION:
We anticipate the area to be short on parking. You will likely need to have 'no
parking' signs along the alleys to keep them operational. In addition, there are a
number of short driveways. They will likely be used for parking. If the driveways
can be at least 8 ft in length, then parallel parking could be allowed. If they
remain at 507 ft in length, then you'll likely end up with parked vehicles impeding
traffic flow in the alleys.
RMS Response: Please see the updated parking table for accurate parking numbers.

Topic: Erosion Control
Comment Number: 1
02/18/2020: FOR INFORMATION ONLY:
The proposed site development would disturb more than 10,000 sq. ft. and
therefore meets
the criteria for erosion and sediment control materials to be
submitted at Final (FDP) stage.
The erosion control requirements are located in the Stormwater Design Criteria
in Chapter 2 Section 6.0 a copy of the requirements can be found at
www.fcgov.com/erosion.
Based upon the area of disturbance, State permits for stormwater will be
required since the site
is over an acre and should be pulled before construction
activities ca commence on this site.
However, no erosion and sediment control materials required at PDP level. Will
expect the required materials as explained above to be submitted at FDP level.
FOR FINAL:
Please submit an Erosion Control Report to meet City Criteria listed above.
Please submit an Erosion Control Escrow Security Calculation based on the
approved Erosion Control Plans.

Please note the following about the proposed plant list:
-Fifty of the 78 ornamental trees proposed are cultivars of crabapple trees. Per
LUC standards for species diversity (LUC 3.2.1 D(3)), no more than 15 percent
of one species is permitted on a proposed plan, in order to prevent disease or
insect susceptibility. Please incorporate additional ornamental species.
-Canopy shade trees should constitute approximately 50 percent of all tree
plantings (per LUC 3.2.1 D(1)). The proposed plant list contains approximately
30 percent shade trees. There are opportunities at this site to incorporate
additional shade trees and/or substitute shade trees for ornamental trees.
RMS Response: The landscape plan and landscape schedule has been updated. Additional shade trees
have been added to the plans and replaced some ornamentals to meet standards. Let us know if you have
additional questions.
