Wherever parking overhangs the walk, the minimum width is 6 . Either way, the width should be clarified. Dimensions have been adjusted on the plans.

A letter of intent is required if you are planning on providing emergency access as shown on these plans. As discussed at the 4126106 meeting with City staff, it would be acceptable to transition the existing offsite 20' wide double fire lane into the proposed on -site 30' lane, but a detail showing how this would work should be provided, and approved by PFA prior to hearing. The proposed layout has been discussed with PFA and approved. Number. 18 Created: 412612006 [4126106] Please note, if you are not adding a new emergency access easement in the middle of the offsite connection, the emergency aisle would have to be constructed where the existing easements are shown. In other words, the design needs to match the easements. Plans adjusted as such. Topic: Plat Number.2 Created.411212006 [4112106] RESOLVED at 4126106 meeting, all onsite easements will be vacated. Please refer to the redlines on the plat: Fire lane easements are shown on Preston Center 3rd as extending onto your site, along with a circle at the east edge of your property.

One of the easements not shown appears to go directly across your proposed building. Acknowledged. Number:8 Created.411312006 [4113106] The sidewalk is shown along Harmony extending all the way to Ziegler. Will you be building this portion of the walk?

Carle Dann Topic: Fire Number. 20 Created. 412612006 [4126106] ACCESS: The Emergency Access Easements from the various filings are difficult to interpret. Bottomline, we acknowledge the 26-foot to 30-foot fire lane that runs west -east to the south of the structure, but we also require a fire lane be dedicated over the north -south drive aisle that connects to Timberwood (see redlines). The EAE must be dedicated on the plat. The fire lane must be visible by painting and signage, and maintained unobstructed. Acknowledged.

Wes Lamarque Topic: Stormwater Number. 14 Created. 412612006 [4126106] Water quality is required for the site. If the regional pond is to be used, the water quality volume needs to be for the entire area that drains to the pond and not just the 3 acres. Water quality can be provided on -site if you just want to supply the volume for the site. The revised calculations and the proposed water quality structure account for the entire area tributary to the filing three water quality/detention pond. Number. 15 Created: 412612006 [4126106] The water quality volume needs to be in addition to the quantity detention. As discussed with stormwater, water quality will not be in addition to detention. Number. 28 Created. 412812006 [41281061 Per Preston Center 3rd Filing partial stormwater certification dated May 18, 2001, the detention pond volume is 4% short of the designed volume. This issue, along with designing water quality mitigation for the entire 3rd filing and reseeding (landscaping) the pond, can be addressed at final compliance. Per phone conversation, the owners of the lots in the third filing will all participate in these requirements for the regional pond. A repay could be put into the development agreement for this project, however the owners may work this out on their own. As discussed with Stormwater the additional 4% volume was accounted for. See section 4.4 in the Final Drainage Report. Topic: WaterMastewater Number. 16 Created. 412612006 [4126106] Water/Wastewater is ready for a hearing. All comments are final compliance items. Acknowledged. Department: Zoning Issue Contact. Peter Barnes Topic: zoning Number. 12 Created. 411712006 [4117106] Each landscape island must contain one or more trees (80 s.f. Of ground area per tree/per island). Some of them only contain shrubs. The landscape islands along the drive, south of the building, do not contain trees because there is an existing 8" water line that runs east and west and minimum separation clearances can not be maintained. Number. 13 Created. 411712006 [4117106] Building height review required per Sec. 3.5.1(G) since the building is taller than 40 A shadow analysis has been submitted. Comments from Current Planning; The plat must be called Preston Center Fourth Filing, being a replat of Lots Two and Six of the Third Filing. The P.D.P. can be called Harmony One at Preston Center Fourth Filing. For marketing purposes, the project may be called Harmony One. Changed as such. The center is allowed a maximum 5.00 spaces per 1,000 square feet of gross floor area. Please describe how the proposed 176 spaces serving a 50,000 square foot building does not put the Third Filing over the 5.00 spaces per 1,000 maximum. 50,000 s.f./ 1,000 s.f. = 50 x 5 = 250 maximum allowed spaces. This building is parked at a ratio of approximately 3.5 spaces per 1,000 square feet. This ratio is under the ratio allowed by the Third Filing. Please let us know if you have any other issues.
