| | |
| | PLEASE PROVIDE RESPONSES TO REVIEW COMMENTS IN WRITTEN |
| | FORMAT. |
| | |
| | 1. PURSUANT TO SECTION 94-443 (C)(2), VEHICULAR USE |
| | AREAS SHALL BE SCREENED FROM THOROUGHFARES AND |
| | RESIDENTIAL USES AND DISTRICT BY A LANDSCAPE BUFFER AT |
| | LEAST FIVE FEET IN WIDTH. TREES SHALL BE PLANTED AT |
| | 30-FOOT INTERVALS AND HEDGES SHALL BE PLANTED AT |
| | TWO-FOOT INTERVALS FOR EACH REQUIRED LANDSCAPE BUFFER. |
| | THE WIDTH OF THE BUFFER ALONG THE EAST AND NORTH SIDES |
| | OF THE SITE DO NOT MEET THIS REQUIREMENT. THE PARKING |
| | STALL ON THE NORTH SIDE OF THE BUILDING COULD BE |
| | LIMITED TO 18 FEET IN LENGTH WITH THE BALANCE OF THE |
| | PAVEMENT BEING REMOVED AND THE AREA CONVERTED INTO |
| | GREEN SPACE. THIS WILL REDUCE THE NONCONFORMITY. |
| | |
| | 2. PURSUANT TO SECTION 94-443 (C)(3), OFF-STREET |
| | PARKING LOTS CONTAINING AT LEAST 12 INTERIOR PARKING |
| | SPACES SHALL CONTAIN LANDSCAPE AREAS. THE TOTAL SIZE OF |
| | SUCH LANDCAPED AREAS SHALL BE EQUAL TO TEN SQUARE FEET |
| | FOR EACH PARKING SPACE AND SHALL BE PROVIDED WITHIN THE |
| | INTERIOR OF AN OFF-STREET PAKRING AREA. LANDSCAPE AREAS |
| | SHALL CONTAIN AT LEAST ONE SHADE OR FLOWERING TREE FOR |
| | EACH 100 SQUARE FEET OF REQUIRED LANDSCAPED AREA. |
| | |
| | 3. A 5 X 24 FOOT TURNAROUND SHALL BE PROVIDED FOR |
| | DEAD-END PARKING LOTS. THE WIDTH OF THE PARKING STALLS |
| | COULD BE REDUCED TO 81/2 FEET IN WIDTH FROM 9 FEET TO |
| | PICK UP SOME ADDITIONAL AREA. THE NEW PLANTER ON THE |
| | NORTH END OF THE EAST PARKING ROW COULD BE REDUCED IN |
| | WIDTH TO FIVE FEET. IF THE PARKING STALLS WERE REDUCED |
| | IN WIDTH AS WELL AS THE LANDSCAPE ISLAND, AN ADDITIOANL |
| | PARKING STALL COULD BE ADDED AND THERE WOULD BE ENOUGH |
| | SPACE FOR THE TURN-AROUND. |
| | |
| | 4. A TYPICAL HANDICAP SPACE IS 12 FEET X 18 FEET WITH A |
| | 5 FOOT X 18 FOOT MANEUVERING AREA. NO MANEURVEING AREA |
| | HAS BEEN PROVIDED FOR THE HANDICAP SPACE. IF AN |
| | ADDITIONAL SPACE IS ADDED TO THE EAST PARKING ROW, THEN |
| | ONE SPACE COULD BE LOST ON THE WEST PARKING ROW TO |
| | ALLOW FOR THE MANEUVERING ARE AND ADDTIONAL |
| | LANDSCAPING. |
| | |
| | 5. THE NEW RAMP AND APRON ON THE EAST SIDE OF THE |
| | BUILDING LIMITS THE REQUIRED 24 FOOT BACK-UP AREA TO 22 |
| | FEET. THE 24 FEET MUST BE MAINTAINED. |
| | |
| | 6. THE DUMPSTER IS UNDERSIZED. BECAUSE IT MUST BE |
| | REBUILT, IT SHOULD BE REBUILT TO CITY STANDARDS. ALSO, |
| | THERE IS A GATE THAT CLOSES OFF THE PARKING LOT. HOW IS |
| | THE DUMPSTER GOING TO BE ACCESSED IF THE GATE ON THE |
| | PARKING LOT IS CLOSED? |
| | |
| | 7. THERE IS A UTILITY EASEMENT ALONG THE EAST AND SOUTH |
| | SIDES OF THE PROPERTY. THE APPLICANT SHALL OBTAIN |
| | WRITTEN AUTHORZATION FROM THE EASEMENT HOLDER TO PLANT |
| | WITHIN THOSE EASEMENTS. |
| | |
| | 8. ALL PROHIBITED PLANT SPECIES SHALL BE REMOVED FROM |
| | THE SITE, INCLUDING THE RIGHT-OF-WAY AND THE CANAL |
| | EMBANKMENT. THE CANAL BANK SHALL BE STRIPPED OF TREES |
| | AND SHRUBS WITH SOD AND IRRIGATION INSTALLED. |
| | |
| | 9. PLEASE PROVIDE A CROSS-SECTION OF THE SLOPE WITH |
| | LANDSCAPING AND IMPROVEMENTS SHOWN FROM THE PARKING LOT |
| | TO THE WATER'S EDGE OF THE CANAL. |
| | |
| | 10. PURSUANT TO SECTION 94-443 (C)(5)(A), LANDSCAPE |
| | AREAS SHALL BE SEPARATED FROM VEHICULAR USE AREAS BY |
| | NONMOUNTABLE, CONCRETE CURBING OF THE TYPE |
| | CHARACTERIZED AS "TYPE D". |
