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. Action required: The location of the proposed hydrant does not meet the 100 foot distance requirement to the FDC. It is recommended that the proposed hydrant be located at the end of either of the islands on the south end of the parking lot. This will meet the FDC requirement.

FDC

Fire Lanes - Marking

IFC 503.3 - Where required by the fire code official, approved signs or other approved notices or markings that include the words NO PARKING—FIRE LANE shall be provided for fire apparatus access roads to identify such roads or prohibit the obstruction thereof. The means by which fire lanes are designated shall be maintained in a clean and legible condition at all times and be replaced or repaired when necessary to provide adequate visibility.

DE C&O #01 Eng Plans – FDP/PDP

All required engineering plans and studies, including water lines, sanitary sewers, storm drainage, streets and erosion and sediment control shall be submitted along with the final development plan. All public infrastructure must be substantially complete, prior to the issuance of any certificates of occupancy.

DE C&O #03 Eng & Insp Fees

All Engineering Plan Review and Inspection Fees shall be paid prior to approval of the associated engineering plans and prior to the issuance of any infrastructure permits or the start of construction (excluding land disturbance permit).

DE C&O #06 Land Disturbance

A Land Disturbance Permit shall be obtained from the City if ground breaking will take place prior to the issuance of an infrastructure permit, building permit, or prior to the approval of the Final Development Plan / Engineering Plans.

DE C&O #11 Pavement Thickness

Private parking lots shall meet the Unified Development Ordinance for pavement thickness and base requirements.

DE C&O #12 Cut & Fill

Any cut and / or fill operations, which cause public infrastructure to exceed the maximum / minimum depths of cover shall be mitigated by relocating the infrastructure vertically and / or horizontally to meet the specifications contained within the City’s Design and Construction Manual.

A backflow vault is required for this project, outside the building and located adjacent to the public main. A gate valve is required immediately preceeding the vault. The water meter should be placed immediately before the gate valve, which eliminates the street crossing for the domestic water line.

It appears the maximum water surface elevation within the detention basin will be too close to the property boundary on the east side of the basin. A minimum of 20 feet is required, and only 15 is shown.

The pavement section for asphalt does not meet the Unified Development Ordinance (UDO) in terms in required thickness, or subgrade. It may be better to eliminate this detail until the Final Development Plan.

Please provide details for all proposed exterior lighting, including parking lot lights and wall-mounted fixtures, including fixture type, location, height and intensity. Please also submit the manufacturer’s specification sheets for all proposed lighting.

Parking lots containing 11 or more parking spaces shall provide parking lot lighting. Please update the plans to comply with this requirement.

Are you requesting any modification to any UDO requirements? If so, please submit a narrative statement that explains the need and justification for modification of the applicable zoning district regulations.

Open space trees are calculated on the total site area (124,458.3 sq. ft.) minus the building footprint (24,000) divided by 5000. By my calculation, 20 trees are necessary to meet the open space requirement.

Open space shrubs are calculated on the total site area (124,458.3 sq. ft.) minus the building footprint (24,000) divided by 5000 then multiplied by 2. By my calculation, 40 shrubs are necessary to meet the open space requirement. Parking lot screening shrubs are separate from open yard shrubs and are calculated independently from each other.

Please provide a detailed drawing of the enclosure and screening methods to be used in connection with trash storage containers on the property.

Please label the width of the tree planting area south of the parking stalls.

How was the required parking calculated for this project? Will there be office space or any other use in this building other than warehouse?

Please extend the curb adjacent to the south façade to the end of the proposed concrete wall.

Parking stalls depths are to the face of the curb. The label of the east row of parking looks as it is pointing to the back of the curb. Please update this.

The 24’ minimum width of the driveway and entrance into the parking area should not include the curb gutter. As proposed the driveway and parking entrance width is 23’. Please update the plans to comply the 24’ minimum.

Please relocated the ADA stalls to be centrally located in relation to the building.

As proposed there does not appear to be an accessible route from the ADA parking as curbing is shown along the full length of the ADA aisle.

All ADA signs must be of the R7-8 style and be mounted on a pole or other structure, located between 3’ and 5’ above the ground measured from the bottom of the sign, at the head of the parking space. Please update the details on sheet 3 to reflect this.

Are any signs being proposed? If so, please provide details.

Will there be any ground or roof mounted mechanical equipment? If so how will it be screened?

What material will the “Prefinished Wall Panels” be?

Please label the elevations with what colors are being proposed.

Please relabel the elevations so that the façade that they correlate to can be identified.

Please note, a 6’ setback will be required along the north property line when the existing parking lot is removed.

The proposed façades are lacking the required architectural elements. Buildings shall incorporate four-sided architecture. Horizontal and vertical elements shall extend completely around the building and utilize the same or similar materials. Please incorporate additional architectural elements (projections, breaks in roofline, windows, etc.) on all sides of the proposed building. Please limit the use of EFIS to 30% or less on any given façade.
