Extend water service and fire line from McMurray to the proposed building Department: Zoning Issue Contact: Peter Barnes Topic: zoning Number:13 Created: 4/8/2003 Land Use note on site plan states that max. building height is 30'. However, the elevations indicate that height is over 40'. Which is it? If over 40', then need to do Building Height Review per Sec. 3.5.1(6). Number: 14 Created: 4/8/2003 Per definition of "convenience shopping center", a bank is a permitted "secondary" use in the center, and can only have limited drive -up facilities. I question whether or not the proposed bank is a secondary use, and I don't think 3 drive -up lanes qualifies as "limited drive -up facilities". Number: 15 Created: 4/8/2003 Need to show building envelope dimensions and setback to McMurry. Number: 16 Created: 4/8/2003 Building doesn't appear to comply with build -to -line standards in 3.5.3(B)(2). Building can be no more than 15' from McMurry ROW. Number: 17 Created: 4/8/2003 It appears that the 4' wide sidewalk connection from McMurry only serves the rear entrances of a part of the building. What's the purpose of the walk? Number: 18 Created: 4/8/2003 In the event that a determination is made that 3 drive -up lanes does not violate the definition of "convenience shopping center", there does not appear to be adequate room for stacking of vehicles. Page 5 Number: 19 Created; 4/8/2003 The westernmost landscape island in the middle parking aisles only has 1 tree. 2 trees are required per Sec. 3.2.1(E)(5)(b). Number: 20 Created: 4/8/2003 Remove the ID sign from the site plan. The sign code regulates the location of the sign, not the site plan. Especially since the location on the site plan doesn't comply with the sign code. Number: 21 Created: 4/8/2003 Need to list the proposed use on the site plan. The narrative explains that it's a convenience shopping center, but the narrative doesn't get recorded. Need to state use on the plan. Number: 22 Created: 4/8/2003 Need 1 tree per 40' along the north lot line per Sec. 3.2.1(E)(4). Number: 23 Created: 4/8/2003 Need ramps at handicap parking stalls. This completes staff (and outside reviewing agencies) review and comments at this time. Additional comments and red -lined plans are forthcoming. This proposal is subject to the 90-day revision re -submittal requirement (from the date of this comment letter, being April 17, 2003) as set forth in Section 2.2.11(A) of the Land Use Code.

Please let me know of any questions or concerns. Sincerely, / Marc Virata - Civil Engineer cc: Golden Meadows 2nd Filing project file 281 North Cullege Avenue • P.O.

Please also refer to the redlines for additional responses. Upon receiving comments from city staff, several meetings have been held to discuss issues raised on the project. Jay Stoner, the developer, and members of the design team have had a utility coordination meeting, a meeting with Steve Olt and Basil Hamden, and a meeting with Peter Barnes, to resolve several issues. Current Planning — Steve Olt: 50. A variance was granted for the intersection spacing.. 51. Acknowledged. 52. Existing gas mains are shown on the plans. 53. The redline comments from current planning have been addressed. See site, landscape, lighting and elevation plans. Engineering — Mark Virata: 49 The retaining walls have been removed. 40 The curb return has a 25' radius — this was noted on the grading plan on the first set and a label has been added to the utility plan. 41 The retaining walls have been removed. 45 The walk has been realigned per discussions at the utility coordination meeting. 48 The barricade requested has been added. 1 The Plat and plans have been changed from McMurray to McMurry. It should be noted that the original Golden Meadows plat and the Safeway plat both have this called out as McMurray. 36 The future edge of pavement is now shown and right of way is dedicated off of Harmony. The 80' setback lies entirely within the existing 80' utility easement located on the south side of the project. 36. Section 3.6.3(f) states, `All development plans shall provide for future public street comlections to adjacent developable parcels by providing a local street connection spaced at intervals not to exceed (600) feet along each development plan boundary that abuts potentially developable or redevelopable land.' If we add the recommended connection, we will have two connections to the eastern parcel that are about 140' apart. This seems to exceed the standard set forth in the code. Why does the pedestrian trail across the front of the site not satisfy this standard? 38 The variance was approved on May 7, 2003. 39 A copy of the plat has been added. 46 The plans have been changed to Golden Meadows Second Filing. 44 The plat blocks have been revised. 47 All Technical services comments have been addressed. 43. The ROW will be dedicated at this time, the word future has been removed from the drawing. PFA — Michael Chavez: 32. The site has a blanket emergency access easement over it. There will also be a fire lane through the parking lot where adjacent curbs shall be painted red and appropriate signage utilized. 33. Acknowledged. 34. Acknowledged. 35. Acknowledged. Police — Joseph Gordon: 26. Lighting — The lighting on the south and west sides of the building will comply with the code regarding minimum light levels for safety. Typically, the building mounted lighting will be determined once the tenant emergence doors have been finalized. These lights will be cut off wall sconces or under canopy lights. 27. See above comment. Transportation Planning — Mark Jackson: 24. The traffic study took into account the highest possible traffic generating users. At this time, the tenants have not been determined. The Day Spa and Bank are very likely to be tenants in this building, but nothing has been finalized. 25. The access along the south side of the building is for emergency access and primarily employees. Water Wastewater — Jeff Hill: 28. All existing utilities are now being shown on the landscape plans. Separation distances h.,,p hI pn -her ed 29 Existing gas and electric are now shown. The transformer location was okayed at the UCM. There is plenty of easement for the gas service wherever it ends up being). 30 The existing 36" waterline is immediately under the existing swale. The City (Stormwater and Planning) is requiring that the swale be piped and this new pipe will need to daylight in the Swale until it is extended further east. It is assumed that the Water Department is OK with the FES location since piping the swale was acceptable at the UCM. 31 Crossing s are shown in the profiles. 42 The waterline along the site will be abandoned. When the existing services were located in the field, it was discovered that the irrigation tap is off of the main that was to be removed rather than out of McMurry. After discussions with Roger Buffington, it was determined to use the 8- main for a fire line and leave the existing tap alone. Zoning - Peter Barnes: 13. The building height listed on the site plan was incorrect. Sorry! The building is actually over 40' high and a shadow analysis has been submitted. 14. The bank in going to be one of four or five users in this building. All of the other potential users fall into the primary use category. Additionally, Jay Stoner has met with Peter Barnes and Steve Olt regarding the drive thru facilities. One lane is for commercial use, one for standard use and one for ATM use. 15. Acknowledged. 16. ROW is being dedicated along McMurray with this project. The building will comply with the build -to -line. 17. The walk along the south side of the building is for emergency access. 18. The drive thru lane has been designed to allow two cars to be side by side at it's narrowest point. Because of that, there should be adequate stacking. 19. All three of the parking islands contain poled mounted lights for the parking lot. On a site this small it is difficult to find good locations for site lighting and utilities that do not conflict with landscaping. We have selected a tree that will be 30'-35' feet high and 15'- 20' wide. This tree also has a great red fall color. We felt that this tree would be more interesting and have fewer conflicts with the site lighting. 20. The ID signs has been removed. 21. Acknowledged. 22. See the landscape plan. 23. Acknowledged. Stormwater - Basil Hamden: 56 The detention release has been clarified in the drainage report. 57 The swale will be piped with the revised plan- no bales are needed. 55 The swale is being removed. The proposed 36" pipe is analyzed in the report. The overflow is onto the property to the east, but it is into a drainage easement. _ 58 We are piping the existing swale. 54 The outfall pipe has been moved west of the telephone easement. The entire lot (outside of the building envelope) is a utility and drainage easement. Thank you for your consideration.

Number: 18 Created: 4/8/2003 REPEAT COMMENT: The way the drive -up is configured, I don't see how the stacking can accommodate more than 1 vehicle for 3 drive -up "windows". I don't believe that's acceptable. Original comment: In the event that a determination is made that 3 drive -up lanes does not violate the definition of "convenience shopping center", there does not appear to be adequate room for stacking of vehicles. There are several significant comments that must be addressed prior to this item going to a Planning and Zoning Board public hearing. Another round of review may be necessary; however, it is possible that this item could be scheduled for either a July 17'h or August 71h public hearing if the main issues can be resolved quickly. If another round of review is going to be done then the proposal is subject to the 90-day revision re -submittal requirement (from the date of this comment letter, being June 18, 2003) as set forth in Section 2.2.11(A) of the Land Use Code.

Our goal in doing this is to be able to submit mylars immediately following the heating. It is our hope that staff can review the minor site changes and discuss the project in about two weeks. Please refer to the following responses to staff comments for any clarification. We have routed copies of the plans to: Basil Hamdan — Stormwater Jeff Hill — Water Wastewater Mark Virata — Engineering Peter Barnes — Zoning Steve Olt — Current Planning Current Planning — Steve Olt: 74. Refer to the building elevations for revisions. Areas noted without poche' and questions regarding lack of banding are accent brick masonry. These areas have been modified and accent masonry is now delineated by a different masonry poche'. Final colors have not been selected, however, consistent with the rendering displayed at the neighborhood meeting, we are proposing a brown or red hue field brick with a contrasting tan brick accent. 72. Landscaping has been added in the 5' landscape setback 73. The trees have been added, but we have had to move them farther away from the property line because of an existing easement. Additionally, we have planted the trees in clusters, which is allowed according to the code. 75. All of the requested information regarding the shadow analysis has been added 66. There are no longer two #12 notes 67. Refer to the plat for the access easement. All land outside of the building envelope (including the walk along Harmony) is a drainage, utility, access and emergency access easement per the Plat. 68. That existing tree will be removed, all others will be pruned (city forester was consulted) 69. Another bike rack was provided by the plaza area 70. Additional dimensions have been added in regards to the building envelope 71. The sidewalk connection has been added Engineering —Mark Virata: 36. The Plat and Plans have been revised to remove any right of dedication on Harmony Road. 46. The title to the landscape plan, site plan, and elevations has been changed. 59. All land outside of the building envelope (including the walk along Harmony) is a drainage, utility, access and emergency access easement per the Plat. Natural Resources — Doug Moore: 79. Tree protection notes have been added to the landscape plan and the General Note sheet of the utility plans. Police — Joseph Gordon: 78. Lighting — The lighting on the south and west sides of the building will comply with the code regarding minimum light levels for safety. Typically, the building mounted or decorative: lighting is not included on the photometric plans. These detailed lights are designed with the building permit drawings and are considered part of the construction document set. Rarely does the lighting consultant show decorative lights on the plan, because the photometric plan is a macro study of the site lighting. All decorative lights will be cut off wall sconces or under canopy lights and they will comply with the standard of .7 fc at 30 feet. Stormwater — Basil Hamdan: 77. The proper detail is now referenced for the field collar. 55. The minor Swale design has been added to the grading plan. It is not possible to have this swale drain to the rim of the proposed manhole on the east because the west end of the swalc would not be able to drain the existing tree / utility area at the intersection of McMurry and Harmony (fill is not allowed because of the existing features). 76. The plan view has been rotated so that the plan and profile of the 36" pipe are in the same direction. 54. The US Nest easement (along the east property line) does not have a storm sewer within it. The 36" pipe will be in an existing drainage and utility easement and does not need the utility company's approval. Transportation Planning — Tom Reiff: 63. An additional bike rack has been added at the west end of the building. 64. I have coordinated with the city forester and that tree will be removed. 65. The walk has been added. Water Wastewater — Jeff Hill: 28. Thank you for indicating the location of the conflict. The more utilities there are, the harder it its to find all of the potential conflicts. The tree has been moved away from the utility. 60. Abandonment note has been added.

Service detail has been added. Zoning — Peter Barnes: 15. The building envelope has been dimensioned and additional dimensions have been shown on the site plan. 18. The bank drive-thru has been reconfigured to allow for fewer lanes and less stacking. The ATM lane has been relocated so that ATM customers do not have to wait in line to withdraw cash. By relocating the ATM, the stacking has been reduced and drive -up facility is smaller. Additionally, the drive-thru traffic runs in a clockwise direction as noted on the site plan.
