Dear Gene,
Staff has reviewed your submittal documents for the Fire Station 10
P.U.D., Preliminary & Final, and would like to offer the following
comments:
1. A copy of the U.S. West comments is attached to this letter.
2. The source for the electric transformer is in the northeast
P�1 corner of the site and the transformer is being located at the
southwest corner of the site. City Light & Power would like
for you to consider relocating the transformer, or at least be
aware that your primary service charge is $8.15 per foot (this
being the 1992 charge; the 199.3.charge may be more) from the
northeast corner of the site to the transformer (plus normal
development charges).
3. City Water/Wastewater requires that a utility plan (.prepared
by a licensed engineer) showing the utility mains, water and
sewer services and their- relationship to these mains, and all
appropriate detail drawings be submitted for review. Is the
sand/oil separator to be connected to the sanitary sewer or
the storm sewer? If it is connected to the sanitary sewer,
what will be discharged into it?
4. A copy of the Stormwater Utility comments is attached to this
letter.
5. RBD Engineers is currently updating/re-doing the drainage
report and utility plans. Engineering Professionals (no longer
in existence) 'did the original plans and report which were
approved and recorded when the minor subdivision for this site.
was done.
6. Maximum visibility is needed for fire trucks pulling onto
Timberline Road. Austrian pines will cause visibility
problems. This has been an issue at other stations, and can be
a problem even if there is a stop light at the intersection.

7. The species of the ornamental trees (Newport Plum and Cockspur`�
Hawthorn) along Timberline Road should be changed to shade
trees with a higher branching habit to avoid visibility
problems. Also, the Cockspur Hawthorn on the south side of the
building should be changed to Thornless Cockspur Hawthorn
(Crataegus crusgalli 'inermis').
8. A drought tolerant blend of turf grass, possibly a fescue blend
sod, is being recommended for this site.
Q9.Some plantings should be included along Vermont Drive. Proper
plant selection is the recommended approach, not just
elimination of landscaping.
10. The trash enclosure will be visible from timberline Road and
should be screened with plant materials.
11. The setback for this building along Timberline Road should be
consistent with setbacks and landscape treatment for other
uses in the area. The use of berms is a good mitigation
measure that may be considered.
12. The maximum building height must be shown on the Site Plan and
l , indicated on the elevations. Building material colors should
CACrbe added to the elevations.
13. Information on the .site lighting package and the proposed
signage should be submitted for review. It is important that
the lighting be down directional and not allow off -site
spillage. Staff would like to review the size, materials, and
type of lighting on the sign. AM 4 / -
.
