Dear Eldon,
The staff has reviewed the application for Preliminary and Final PUD
approval of the McClelland Office Park and offers the following comments:
1. Written permission from adjacent property owners to access storm
drainage outlet will be required. The staff questions some of the drain-
age calculations used in the drainage report.
2. In order to assess adequacy of plan for maneuvering of fire equipment,
turning radius within the parking lot should be indicated.
3. The staff questions the adequacy of the traffic impact report. For
instance, the report did not mention the impacts at intersections and
the need for additional ROW along McClelland.
4. Access easements will need to be dedicated for the public sidewalk
along McClelland Drive.
5. The sidewalks along McClelland Drive should be dimensioned. The note
concerning width of interior sidewalks should be repeated on the plan
for clarification purposes.
6. Turning radii at all project entrances should be indicated. The design
of the sidewalks in terms of their approaches to the entrances does
not appear to meet City standard.
7. It would appear that some of the entrances to the buildings will be
blocked by bicycle parking. Please clarify.
8. The off -site access through Gart Brothers parking lot will need to
be guaranteed with
public
access easements. The necessary
easement
dedication documents
should
be submitted prior to approval
of this
PUD.
9. All compact parking
stalls
must be signed as such. Please
indicate
this on site plan.

10. Typical width of parking stalls should be indicated on the site plan.
11. A building envelope dimension appears to be missing on Building enve-
lope C. Please correct.
12. Bike parking should be provided for Building B.
13. All signs must comply with sign code. The plan shows two ground signs.
The sign code will allow only one.
14. The applicants should provide evidence as to the possible impact of
parking and building lot lighting shining onto adjacent residential
areas. If a negative impact is identified, how will it be mitigated?
15. The building elevations should indicate color of exterior building
material.
16. The staff would recommend that the applicant re-evaluate the plan
in terms of clustering the buildings, thereby increasing the size
of open space areas and improving pedestrian circulation between build-
ings.
17. The site plan should specifically note how the site and building will
contribute to the overall reduction of energy use in the building.
18. The staff questions whether adequate areas for landscaping have been
provided adjacent to the buildings which will contribute to the overall
aesthetic quality of the site.
19. The staff questions the adequacy of the main entrance in terms of
providing for stacking of vehicles. Also, the staff questions the
desirability of offsetting the intersection of parking aisles at the
southeast corner of Building B.
20. The staff recommends that the following pedestrian connections be
provided: connection between the sidewalk along the south side of
Building A to the Gart Brothers building parking lot and along the
east side of Building B.
21. The applicants should re-evaluate the plan in terms of incorporating
design features in the parking lots to enhance pedestrian circulation
including paving patterns and grade differences (speed humps) at cri-
tical locations.
22. The staff is currently reviewing the landscape plan and will have
comments forthcoming. Some initial comments include the adequacy of
numbers of shrubs in parking islands; adequacy in number of street
tree plantings, and; the need for ornamental tree plantings along
base of buildings.

23. The pinion pine material should be minimum size of 5-6 feet rather
than 4-5 feet.
24. The site plan is unclear as to the intentions of the dotted lines
along the south property line. Please clarify.
25. The City has adopted two new solar access planning criteria for
all new planned unit developments. The applicants should review
these criteria and demonstrate they are being achieved in the plan.
26. Signed mylars of the site plan, landscape plan, building elevations
and subdivision plat should be delivered to this office no later
than Monday, June 18, 1984. Also on that date, a signed Site and
Landscape Covenant document should be submitted.
27. On Monday, June 18, 1984, ten full size copies each of the site
and landscape plan; 812"xll" PMT reductions of all plans; and colored
renderings of the landscape and building elevation plans should
be delivered.
I recommend we meet as soon as possible to discuss the above comments. Revi-
sions to the plans reflecting these comments should be submitted no later
than Wednesday, June 6, 1984. If you have any questions or require further
information, please do not hesitate to contact me.
