Code Statement

All issues pertaining to life safety and property protection from the hazards of fire, explosion or dangerous conditions in new and existing buildings, structures and premises, and to the safety to fire fighters and emergency responders during emergency operations, shall be in accordance with the 2012 International Fire Code.

Limit the proposed plan to the subject development application (SUP), storage facility. The plan should also include associated infrastructure (e.g. driveway and turn lane from Douglas and driveway connection to shared access/Polytainers). It is my understanding re-zoning and concept plan are not a part of this application and the presentation of a concept for the remaining property is informational only, as needed and upon request, to address potential questions as the SUP proceeds through the public hearing process. Presenting a concept plan as part of the application may be misleading and no review of the concept plan has been performed from a transportation/traffic perspective. If a concept plan is proposed as part of the application, a traffic study will be required to assess its impact prior to recommendation for approval of any such concept by the governing body.

Please be aware that a full engineering review of the site utilities, stormwater detention, grading, sidewalks, and other aspects of the project will be reviewed during the Final Development Plan phase.

The detention basin serving Lot 2 shows an outlet structure within a public easement. Please move the outlet structure outside the limits of the easement.

Staff recommends revising the application in the following ways: A) Do not rezone at this time since the storage/mini-warehouse use is permitted in PI with a special use permit; B) Apply for a special use permit with conceptual plan; C) Show all conceptual elements either in greyscale or hatched so it is easily discernable what is conceptual.

Conditions and restrictions for a special use permit for mini-warehouse facility (Section 10.420 of the UDO) include: A) In any non-industrial district, a mini-warehouse facility must be enclosed on all sides by a wall or earthen berm that shields the development from view; B) Colors selected must be of muted shades; and C) Roof pitch shall be 1:3. A is not applicable since this property is zoned PI (Planned Industrial), and B is good since the building is earth-tone(s), but C must either be meet or a modification requested for those conditions with justification(s) as to why.

Is the total building area for Lot 1 76,599.56 (per Overall Site Data table) or 76,559.55 (per the site plan)? Correct plans accordingly.

Lot 1 is missing its required 1 van accessible space.

Minimum Drive Aisle Width. Per Section 12.120.E.4 of the UDO the minimum required drive aisle width is 24' plus curb and gutters which totals 28'. Correct plan as needed.

Miscellaneous Corrections for Sheet C1.0: A) "Total Building Footprint Area" under the overall site data is missing an "n". B) The required parking calculation for Lot 1 is missing the #2 at the beginning of the calculation. C) Note #3 is missing the word "be" after "An easement of license will...". D) Note #3 also references the plan as "this plat" (revise accordingly). E) Note #5 is missing the word "be" after "...or setback lines will..." and the word "the" before "...street right-of-way.". F) Remove or revise note #19, as it currently reads it appears to be more of a reminder for the developer.

Provide a detail of the modular block wall. Walls over 4' in height (including footing) are required to be designed by a structural engineer.

Revise detail 7.0-10, handicap signage, to reflect the R7-8 standard sign found in the MUTCD (minus the double arrow). In addition, the height dimensions need to be revised from 60" - 72" to 36" - 60" (per Section 12.080.I of the UDO).

Trash Enclosure Gates. Per Section 7.180.G of the UDO, trash enclosure gates shall be steel and painted to be compatible with the color of the masonry walls and building it is to serve.

Landscaping, Open Yard Areas. The calculation for the trees and shrubs should be the same except there are 2 shrubs per every 5,000 square feet of lot area.

Landscaping, Parking Lot Screening. Per Section 12.120.C of the UDO screening for a parking lot may be provided in 1 of 4 ways: A) A hedge consisting of 12 shrubs per 40 linear feet; or B) An earthen berm constructed to a height of 2.5 feet above the adjacent elevation of the street or parking/loading area, whichever is highest, shall not exceed a slope of 3:1 and shall have a crown of at least 2 feet; or C) A wall of brick, stone, PVC plastic fencing or finished and textured concrete may be constructed to a height of 2.5 feet and 100% opacity and landscaped with plant material to achieve a decorative effect; or D) Any combination of hedge, berm or wall that effectively provides a visual screen of the parking lot or loading area to a height of 2.5 feet and achieves a decorative effect through appropriate use of landscaping and plant material.

Provide a list of building materials.
