| | |
| | THIS IS A CONCEPTUAL LEVEL REVIEW. CONSTRUCTION DETAILS |
| | WILL BE REVIEWED AS PART OF THE ENGINEERING DEVELOPMENT |
| | APPROVAL AND BUILDING PERMIT APPLICATION PROCESSES. |
| | THE FOLLOWING COMMENTS MUST BE ADDRESSED PRIOR TO SITE |
| | PLAN APPROVAL. |
| | |
| | 1. INCLUDE PARKING PLANS FOR ALL LEVELS OF THE PARKING |
| | GARAGE AND ENSURE THAT THE ELEVATION VIEW OF THE GARAGE |
| | MATCHES THE PLAN VIEW. THE SUBMITTED PLANS DID NOT |
| | INCLUDE PARKING LAYOUTS FOR UNDERGROUND LEVELS 1B, 1D, |
| | OR 1E. |
| | |
| | 2. THE PARKING LAYOUT CONTAINS SEVERAL DEAD-ENDS, |
| | INACCESSIBLE PARKING SPACES, PARKING SPACES AND DRIVE |
| | AISLES WHICH DO NOT MEET CODE REQUIREMENTS. TURN AROUND |
| | SPACES MUST BE PROVIDED AT THE DEAD ENDS. SHOW PROFILE |
| | DETAILS FOR THE PARKING SPOTS PROPOSED UNDER RAMPS. |
| | REVISE THE PARKING LAYOUT TO COMPLY WITH SECTION 94-485 |
| | OF THE CODE OF ORDINANCES. ALSO , RESPOND TO THE |
| | RELATED ZONING, PARKING AND TRAFFIC ENGINEERING |
| | COMMENTS. |
| | |
| | 3. THE PROPOSED FLOOD PROTECTION FOR THE SOUTHERN |
| | PARKING GARAGE, WHICH IS PROPOSED WITH A BOTTOM |
| | ELEVATION OF APPROXIMATELY 7.8 FT NGVD, IS A PUMP. SHOW |
| | HOW THE ANY WATER COLLECTED IN THIS AREA IS GOING TO BE |
| | TREATED PRIOR TO DISCHARGE AND WHERE THE TREATED WATER |
| | WILL BE DISCHARGED. |
| | |
| | 4. THE PROPOSED LAYOUT IS NOT ACCESSIBLE TO THE SOLID |
| | WASTE TRUCKS (35 FT LONG, 15 FT HIGH). THE PROPOSAL TO |
| | ROLL THE TRASH BINS INTO THE ALLEY WILL IMPEDE TRAFFIC |
| | FLOW WHILE THE BINS ARE IN THE ALLEY AND COMPLETELY |
| | BLOCK TRAFFIC WHEN THE SOLID WASTE TRUCKS ARE |
| | COLLECTING THE GARBAGE. REVISE THE DESIGN TO |
| | ACCOMMODATE THE TRUCKS WITHOUT REQUIRING THEM TO BACK |
| | AROUND CORNERS OR DOWN THE ALLEY AND TO COMPLY WITH |
| | SECTION 74-35(A)(9) OF THE CODE OF ORDINANCES. |
| | |
| | 5. VERIFY THAT THE PROPOSED SIZE AND QUANTITY OF TRASH |
| | BINS IS APPROPRIATE FOR THE WASTE YARDAGE ANTICIPATED |
| | TO BE GENERATED BY THE COMPLEX. CONSIDER USING A |
| | COMPACTOR TO REDUCE THE YARDAGE OF WASTE THAT WILL NEED |
| | TO BE COLLECTED. |
| | |
| | 6. THE PROJECT MUST PROVIDE ADEQUATE STORMWATER |
| | MANAGEMENT, INCLUDING NOT MODIFYING THE VELOCITY OR |
| | VOLUME OF OFF-SITE STORMWATER DISCHARGE. DESCRIBE HOW |
| | THIS WILL BE ACHIEVED. COMPLIANCE WITH CHAPTER 40E-4 |
| | FAC WILL DEMONSTRATE COMPLIANCE WITH THIS PROVISION. |
| | [CODE OF ORDINANCES SECTIONS 90-201, 94-35(C )(11), |
| | 94-307, AND 94-580] |
| | |
| | 7. PROVIDE VERTICAL PROFILES FOR THE PARKING GARAGE |
| | RAMPS INCLUDING THE TRANSITION AREA GEOMETRY. |
| | |
| | 8. PROVIDE DETAILS AND ELEVATION VIEWS OF THE LOADING |
| | AREA AND ADJACENT PARKING GARAGE RAMPS. |
| | |
| | THE FOLLOWING COMMENTS MUST BE ADDRESSED IN THE |
| | CONSTRUCTION PLANS SUBMITTED FOR DEVELOPMENT APPROVAL |
| | FROM THE ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT. |
| | |
| | 1. THE EXISTING WATER MAIN WITHIN THE ALLEY ALSO SERVES |
| | THE METER AT 522 CLEMATIS STREET. WATER SERVICE MUST |
| | CONTINUE TO BE PROVIDED FOR THIS ADDRESS. |
| | |
| | 2. SEWAGE DEMAND CALCULATIONS WILL NEED TO BE PROVIDED |
| | AS PART OF THE FINAL DESIGN. THE 8-INCH GRAVITY SEWER |
| | LINE MAY NOT BE SUFFICIENT FOR THE PROPOSED DEMAND AND |
| | MAY NEED TO BE UPGRADED. RECENT INSPECTIONS OF THE |
| | 8-INCH LINE INDICATE THAT IT IS NOT IN ACCEPTABLE |
| | CONDITION TO CONVEY ADDITIONAL FLOWS AND POSSIBLY MAY |
| | NOT WITHSTAND THE PROPOSED NEARBY SUBSURFACE |
| | CONSTRUCTION. |
| | |
| | 3. THE AVAILABLE WATER PRESSURE WITHIN THE CITY MAY NOT |
| | BE ACCEPTABLE AT ELEVATIONS HIGHER THAN THE 2ND FLOOR. |
| | WE RECOMMEND THAT A LONG-TERM PRESSURE STUDY BE |
| | PERFORMED ON THE POTABLE WATER LINES PRIOR TO |
| | FINALIZATION OF THE DESIGN. |
| | |
| | 4. SOLID WASTE YARDAGE WILL NEED TO BE ESTIMATED AS |
| | PART OF THE FINAL DESIGN TO VERIFY THAT THE DESIGN |
| | INCLUDES APPROPRIATE NUMBER AND SIZE OF TRASH BINS. |
| | |
| | 5. AN EXISTING SOLID WASTE CUSTOMER IS LOCATED ON THE |
| | ALLEY EAST OF THE PROPOSED PROJECT. THE FINAL PLANS |
| | WILL NEED TO INCLUDE A PROPOSAL FOR CONTINUING THEIR |
| | SOLID WASTE SERVICE DURING CONSTRUCTION. THE ALLEY END |
| | WEST OF THE RAILROAD LINE AND THERE IS NOT CURRENTLY A |
| | PAVED OR STABILIZED TURNAROUND. |
| | |
| | 6. STORMWATER CALCULATIONS WILL NEED TO BE SUBMITTED AS |
| | PART OF THE ENGINEERING DEVELOPMENT APPROVAL. IN |
| | ADDITION TO DEMONSTRATING THAT THE REQUIRED FLOOD |
| | PROTECTION AND WATER QUALITY TREATMENT IS PROVIDED, THE |
| | CALCULATION SHOULD INCLUDE THE PROPOSED PUMPED |
| | DISCHARGE FROM THE GARAGE, MOUNDING ANALYSIS FOR THE |
| | EXFILTRATION TRENCH, EVALUATION OF THE IMPACT (IF ANY) |
| | OF THE ROOF DRAIN VELOCITY INTO THE STORMWATER SYSTEM. |
