| | PLEASE RESPOND IN WRITING. |
| | |
| | 1) REPEAT COMMENT: THE BUILDING IS NOT SHOWN ON THE |
| | LANDSCAPE PLAN WITH THE SAME SETBACKS AS ARE SHOWN ON |
| | THE SURVEY. EX. THE SURVEY SHOWS A 5 FOOT SETBACK ALONG |
| | THE WEST PROPERTY LINE AND THE LANDSCAPE PLAN SHOWS THE |
| | BUILDING WITH A 4.5 FOOT BUFFER STRIP/BUILDING SETBACK. |
| | PLEASE USE THE SURVEY AS A BASE FOR THE LANDSCAPE PLAN. |
| | ADDITIONALLY, THE SURVEY SHOWS ONLY ONE (1) FOOT |
| | BETWEEN THE SOUTHWEST PORTION OF THE BUILDING AND THE |
| | PROPERTY LINE. THE LANDSCAPE PLAN SHOWS A WIDER AREA |
| | AND INCLUDES ADONIDA PALMS PLANTED IN THE STRIP. STAFF |
| | IS CONCERNED THAT THE PALMS WILL NOT FIT IN THIS AREA |
| | WITHOUT IMPEDING VEHICLES USING THE ALLEY. PLEASE |
| | REVIEW THE LANDSCAPE CHOICES ONCE THE BASE PLANS MATCH |
| | THE SURVEY. |
| | |
| | 2) REVISED COMMENT: THE 17,613.2 SQUARE FEET OF |
| | REQUIRED OPEN SPACE REQUIRES 12 SHADE TREES SINCE THE |
| | CITY ROUNDS UP ANY FRACTION WHEN IT COMES TO LANDSCAPE |
| | REQUIREMENTS. PLEASE NOTE THAT THE SITE HAS ENOUGH |
| | SHADE TREES TO MEET THE OPEN SPACE REQUIREMENTS AS THE |
| | CITY COUNTS ALL SHADE TREES ON SITE IN MEETING THIS |
| | REQUIREMENT (BUFFER AND PARKING LOT INCLUDED EVEN |
| | THOUGH THEY HAVE THEIR OWN REQUIREMENTS). |
| | |
| | 3) PARTIAL REPEAT COMMENT: THE DIMENSIONS WERE NOT |
| | PROVIDED FOR THE LANDSCAPE BUFFERS AT THE SOUTHWEST |
| | SIDES OF THE BUILDING (WILL BE DETERMINED ONCE THE |
| | BUILDING IS PLACED CORRECTLY IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE |
| | SURVEY). |
| | |
| | 4) REPEAT COMMENT: BASED ON THE SURVEY, THE WIDTH FROM |
| | THE WALKWAY NORTH OF THE WESTERN PORTION OF THE |
| | BUILDING TO THE NORTHERN PROPERTY LINE APPEARS TO BE 64 |
| | FEET AT ITS NARROWEST POINT. THIS PERMITS THE 2 PARKING |
| | ROWS, THE 24 FOOT WIDE DRIVE AISLE AND A FOUR (4) FOOT |
| | LANDSCAPE BUFFER. |
| | |
| | A. THE SITE AND LANDSCAPE PLANS HAVE THE BUILDING |
| | LOCATED IN THE WRONG SPOT WHEN COMPARED TO THE SURVEY |
| | SO THE PLANS ARE NOT ACCURATE AND SHOW A SMALLER BUFFER |
| | THAN IT SHOULD. ADDITIONALLY, THERE IS A GAP SHOWN |
| | BETWEEN THE FENCE AND THE LANDSCAPE BUFFER. THE SURVEY |
| | SHOWS THE EXISTING FENCE AT THE PROPERTY LINE. THIS |
| | AREA SHALL BE SHOWN AS LANDSCAPE BUFFER. THE PLANS |
| | SHALL BE ACCURATE AND BASED ON THE SURVEY. |
| | |
| | B. STAFF RECOMMENDS THE USE OF THE D CURB WITH TWO FOOT |
| | OVERHANG IN LIEU OF WHEEL STOPS FOR A WIDER BUFFER. THE |
| | PLANS SHOW BOTH WHEEL STOPS AND D CURB. YOU DO NOT NEED |
| | TO PROVIDE THE D CURB IF THE WHEEL STOPS ARE USED. |
| | STAFF SUGGESTS REPLACING THE WHEEL STOPS WITH THE D |
| | CURB SO THERE IS 16 FEET OF PAVEMENT FOR THE PARKING |
| | STALL AND THE CURB AND GRASS STRIP OVERHANG AREA IS THE |
| | REMAINING 2 FEET OF THE PARKING STALL. PLEASE SEE THE |
| | DIAGRAM ON |
| | |
| | 5) REPEAT COMMENT: THERE IS A DISCREPANCY IN THE WIDTH |
| | OF THE EXISTING LANDSCAPE BUFFER, INCLUDING THE CURB, |
| | ALONG THE NORTH PROPERTY LINE ON THE EAST SIDE OF THE |
| | BUILDING - SHOWN ON THE SURVEY (6 FEET WIDE) AND THE |
| | LANDSCAPE PLAN (4.5 FEET WIDE). THIS DISCREPANCY LEADS |
| | TO THE LAYOUT ISSUES WITH THE EASTERN PARKING LOT, |
| | PARTICULARLY THE AMOUNT OF SPACE AVAILABLE FOR THE |
| | SOUTHERN LANDSCAPE BUFFER. PLEASE USE SURVEY AS A BASE |
| | FOR THE LANDSCAPE PLAN. |
| | |
| | 6) REVISED COMMENT: DUE TO SITE CONSTRAINTS, THE |
| | SOUTHERN LANDSCAPE BUFFER CAN NOT BE INSTALLED AT ITS |
| | REQUIRED FIVE FOOT WIDTH. HOWEVER, AT THE HEAD OF THE |
| | SOUTHERN ROW OF PARKING SPACES, WHERE BASED ON THE 110 |
| | FOOT NORTH/SOUTH PROPERTY DIMENSION FROM THE SURVEY AND |
| | SUBTRACTING THE DIMENSIONS OF THE NORTHERN LANDSCAPE |
| | BUFFER, THE CODE REQUIRED WIDTH OF THE THREE ROWS OF |
| | PARKING AND THE TWO DRIVE AISLES, THERE IS |
| | APPROXIMATELY TWO (2) FEET IN WIDTH REMAINING. THIS |
| | SECTION SHALL BE ACCURATELY SHOWN ON THE LANDSCAPE |
| | PLANS. THE TWO (2) FOOT BUFFER STRIP SHALL INCLUDE A |
| | HEDGE AND THIN TRUNKED TREES OR PALMS PLACED SO THAT |
| | THEY ARE LOCATED BETWEEN PARKING SPACES. DUE TO THE |
| | LIMITED SPACE OF THE SOUTHERN BUFFER, THERE SHALL BE A |
| | TYPE D CURB USED IN LIEU OF WHEEL STOPS SO THAT THE |
| | SOUTHERN TWO (2) FEET OF EACH PARKING SPACE IS A |
| | VEHICLE OVERHANG AREA TO ALLOW THE ROOTS FOR THE TREES |
| | AND HEDGES MORE ROOM TO GROW. THE OVERHANG AREA SHALL |
| | BE MAINTAINED AS SOD. |
| | |
| | 7) REVISED COMMENT: BASED ON THE DIMENSIONS PROVIDE ON |
| | THE SURVEY, STAFF CALCULATES THAT THE FOUNDATION OF THE |
| | BUILDING CONTAINS 641.6 LINEAR FEET, WHICH REQUIRES A |
| | MINIMUM OF 193 LINEAR FEET OF FOUNDATION PLANNING. |
| | STAFF MEASURED ONLY 197.6 LINEAR FEET OF FOUNDATION |
| | PLANTING, NOT 298 LINEAR FEET AS LISTED, WHICH WHILE |
| | MEETING THE MINIMUM REQUIRED FOUNDATION PLANTING SHALL |
| | BE SHOWN CORRECTLY ON THE TABLE. PLEASE NOTE THAT SOD |
| | AGAINST THE BUILDING DOES NOT COUNT AS FOUNDATION |
| | PLANTING. STAFF DID NOT COUNT THE AREA ON THE SOUTHWEST |
| | PORTION OF THE BUILDING AGAINST THE ALLEY SINCE IT IS |
| | UNCLEAR IF A HEDGE WILL FIT WITHIN THE ACTUAL ONE (1) |
| | FOOT WIDE AREA AS SHOWN ON THE SURVEY. |
| | |
| | 8) REVISED COMMENT: THE NUMBER OF REQUIRED PERIMETER |
| | BUFFER TREES IS INCORRECTLY LISTED ON THE LANDSCAPE |
| | DATA TABLE. THE NUMBER OF REQUIRED TREES IS CALCULATED |
| | INDEPENDENTLY FOR EACH BUFFER (N, S, E, W) AND ALL |
| | ROUNDING IS TO THE NEXT HIGHER WHOLE NUMBER. WHERE THE |
| | SURVEY SHOWS THE BUILDING DIRECTLY ON THE PROPERTY LINE |
| | AT THE ALLEY, NO TREES NEED TO BE INSTALLED BASED ON |
| | THESE 128 FEET. THE LANDSCAPE DATA TABLE SHALL USE THE |
| | FOLLOWING REQUIRED TREE COUNTS: EAST 110 FEET = 4 |
| | TREES, SOUTH 272 FEET = 10 TREES, WEST 110 FEET = 4 |
| | TREES, NORTH 400 FEET = 14 TREES). PLEASE NOTE THAT - |
| | IT DOES NOT APPEAR THE WEST BUFFER HAS ENOUGH TREES. |
| | THE DATA TABLE OR THE PLAN SHALL CLEARLY STATE THE |
| | BUFFER TREES. DUE TO THE PROXIMITY OF THE BUILDING TO |
| | THE SOUTHERN PROPERTY LINE, YOU WILL NEED TO CLUSTER |
| | THE TREES ADJACENT TO THE PROPERTY LINE WHERE THEY WILL |
| | ACTUALLY GROW (EVEN IF NOT ON THE SOUTH BUFFER), NOT |
| | SHOEHORN THEM INTO THE ONE (1) FOOT WIDE PLANTING |
| | SPACE. PLEASE REMEMBER THAT TWO PALM TREES ARE REQUIRED |
| | TO COUNT AS ONE TREE AND BE COGNIZANT THAT NO MORE THAN |
| | 35% OF THE REQUIRED TREES MAY BE PALM TREES. |
| | |
| | 9) REPEAT COMMENT: DETAIL D ON SHEET SP 1.1 IS |
| | REFERENCED AS THE CURBING TO PROTECT THE LANDSCAPE FROM |
| | VEHICULAR ENCROACHMENT ON SHEET SP 1.3 (NOTE 11). THIS |
| | IS AN UNACCEPTABLE CURB. THE DRAWINGS SHALL REFERENCE |
| | THE D CURB SHOWN ON SHEET C-5 OR OTHERWISE BE MODIFIED. |
| | |
| | 10) NEW COMMENT: THE DETAIL A-1 ON SHEET SP 1.3 WAS NOT |
| | UPDATED TO REFLECT THE CONDITIONS SHOWN ON SP1.1 FOR |
| | THE SIZE OF THE LANDSCAPE ISLAND. |
| | |
| | 11) NEW COMMENT: THE SOUTH SIDE OF THE DUMPSTER |
| | ENCLOSURE SHALL HAVE A HEDGE INSTALLED (BETWEEN THE |
| | PEDESTRIAN GATE AND THE FRONT OF THE ENCLOSURE). |
