Dear Glen:
City staff has reviewed the revised plans for the Campus West Texaco, Non -Conforming Use
request, and has the following comments to offer at this time:
I� A note should be added to the Site Plan and the Landscape Plan stating that the existing
9� and proposed landscaping will be maintained as part of this use and replaced if it
becomes necessary. It is important, without an automatic sprinkler system in place, to
assure proper watering and care of the plant material.
22 The 35' Dedicated Right -of -Way as shown on the final Plat of Campus West Texaco
Subdivision must be shown in identical form on the Site Plan and Landscape Plan. The
existing platted lot goes to the centerline of South Shields Street with the new pla,
dedicating 35' of street ROW back to the City. All the plans must be consistent and
reflect the correct information.
3� Revisions to the drainage plan and report must be submitted to City Stormwater Utility
as soon as possible, specifically addressing the off -site drainage easement concern; also,
please return the redlined copies of the original drainage plan and report.
The addition of the two raised planting beds at the northeast and-setHkes-corners of
p the site significantly improve the visual character along South College Avenue. Please
consider enlarging the planters, especially the two at the corners, to create a greater
impact. They could be extended to the west into the property another 8'-10'. The
common access between this site and Campus West shops would become better defined
an more manageable at a 30' (approxim width_ Lasi,

�K with an above ground sign to assure that it is always visible. It appears that the space
at the southwest corner of the site is large enough and is intended to be for the
handicapped. G/ T_Aa/Li+N
0 Building elevations for the addition, giving architectural intent including materials and
colors, should be submitted. The maximum building height should be indicated on this
plan.
7 / An overall utility plan is needed for this site, showing all the existing water & sewer
mains and existing & proposed services. This information may be included on the
drainage plan and the plan then named "Drainage and Grading, Overall Utility Plan".
