HomeMy WebLinkAboutSTRACHAN FOURTH - Filed CS-COMMENT SHEETS - 2016-07-11Etyze'e-ein 0-or"."4n, MA150084 the Square September 30, 2015 The plans need to clearly identify and label that the remaining sidewalk along JFK is to be widened and improved. Reference detail 707.2 for the driveway reconstruction. Easement vacation requests, fees, and legals need to be received so that the requests can be routed and the legals reviewed. I also need information on how the easements were originally dedicated. It looks like one of the Waterline easements was dedicated by the Strachan Subdivision, Fourth Filing plat, but the others must have been dedicated by separate instrument as they are not shown on any of the plats. I need copies of the dedication documents or the reception numbers for those. Any needed easement vacation that doesn't have a line in it that has to be relocated will need to be vacated prior to approval of the utility plans. For the vacation of the easement in which the sanitary line is located. The easement vacation needs to be routed and all the utilities will need to agree that it can be vacated — or can be vacated once the sanitary sewer line is relocated. If that is the case, for that easement I will have the resolution written and the legal for this vacation before the plans are approved. Once the line has been removed and I am notified by utilities that it is okay to vacate, I will need a check for the filing fees and then I can proceed with the vacation of this easement. The easement will need to be vacated before any building permit for a structure to be located in this area can be issued. Any needed easement dedications will need to be received prior to approval of the utility plans and approval of the minor amendment. Additional information on the dedication and vacation process can be found here: Including base dedication formats. http://www.fceov.com/eneineerins/devrev.php Comment Number: 2 Comment Originated: 09/22/201.1 09/22/2015: Please fill out a Commercial Service Information (C-1).

Comment Originated: 09/23/2015 09/23/2015: On sheet L-1 it shows existing tree locations to be removed. The locations labeled 1 and 2 are existing parking lot tree islands. These trees should not be removed. These trees, labeled 1 and 2, should be moved and placed in new tree islands at the south end of the proposed parking rows. Response: We will not be able to move these trees as requested. There are construction limitations to the request in comment Number 1 and we can review w3ith you in our site meeting noted above. We are replacing those 3 trees with 5 additional trees in the same parking field and feel we have more than compensated for their removal. It has been agreed on several occasions that we would not be required to introduce planters and trees at the south end of the parking field as we have on the entire site of the project. We most recently were told in a meeting with your staff and representatives of the City Managers staff that we would be able to continue developing the site in the manner we have to date.

Comment Number: 2 Comment Originated: 10/05/201 10/05/2015: At a recent site meeting with Ralph Zentz from the City Forestry Division existing tree number 6 and 12 were determined in agreement with the applicant to be retained. They are both marked for removal in the tree inventory and mitigation table. These two trees should be recorded to preserve in the table. Response; Tree #6 will remain in place, but Tree #12 will need to be removed. Comment Number: 3 Comment Originated: 10/05/201! 10/05/2015: Evaluate the construction impact to existing tree number 6 and 12 and explore construction modifications to reduce root system impact. Tree number 12 is shown with the curb right against the tree. Placing a peninsula landscape area of some form on its west side might be a solution. Provide information on the construction impact to these two trees by a private certified arborist. Forestry staff is available to meet on site with the projects representative and the projects private arborist to review how these trees will be protected. Response Tree #6 will remain in place, but Tree #12 will need to be removed. We will meet with you or your staff and discuss the reasons for replacing the tree. We will have a certified Arborist with us on site.

Additional information on the dedication and vacation process can be found here: Including base dedication formats. httr)://www.fcgov.com/eng!neering/­devrev.i)hp The easement vacation requests were received and have been routed. There will be no problem in vacating the portions of the waterline easement, the water easement, the power easement, and the sewer easement. The identified utility easement cannot be vacated by the City since it is a private easement and was not dedicated to the City. - The legals for these are still in review and I will pass along any comments once the reviews have been finalized. - Resolutions for the vacations have been written and will be sent to the City attorneys office for review. - Once I know the final number of pages for these documents I will let you know what the filing fee costs will be. The legal for the drainage easement has been routed for review — once that review has been finalized any comments will be passed along. Once we have a final document I can provide information on the filing fees cost to be provided. I have not heard from utilities as to whether the private sewer main needs to be within a public easement or is okay to just be within a private easement. Once that is known — we will know whether the easement for the relocated sewer main will need to be dedicated to the city or can be a private easement. Fees are still owed for the easement vacation and dedication process. Since we still do not yet know the final number of these to be processed this can wait, but will need to be paid prior to approval and filing of those documents. The DCP numbers have been reviewed, but I need to find out from utilities if the private sewer main will need to be inspected by the City. If it does not then the inspection number and security will need to be adjusted.
