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. The fire lanes around the building look good. Extend the same signage to the area around the FDC. Verified at building permit review.

Sheet C08: • Please review the need for DIP on the fire line between the backflow vault and the building. It would appear that C900 PVC would be a better choice since the stub is of that material. • Please shift the backflow vault east to be out of the public sanitary sewer easement. • Indicate the material of the “50 LF 6” New Water Line” near the SE building corner. • Staff is ok with the issuance of a foundation only permit, however the items in this comment would need to be resolved prior to the issuance of a building permit for anything going vertical.

The UDO requires some sort of landscaping within the parking lot islands (sod, trees, shrubs, mulch, ground cover, etc.). Perhaps the islands closest to the building can be sodded with a brick path in the middle for pedestrians. Staff cannot waive this requirement. Approval through a preliminary development plan and City Council approval would be needed to waive this requirement.

Please reconcile with the master developer the deficiencies with the open yard tree and shrub requirements. A total of 100 shrubs and 50 trees are required for the open yard requirement. The landscape Sheet L01 needs to be revised and resubmitted.

The elevations should be relabeled, the east and west labels are reversed. Please resubmit those sheets affected.

Submit a site line drawing showing the proposed RTU's. It is noted on the south elevation they could be seen above the roofline.

Staff is ok with the issuance of a foundation only permit, however the items in this comment letter would need to be resolved prior to the issuance of a building permit for anything going vertical.

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. The fire lanes around the building look good. Extend the same signage to the area around the FDC. Verified at building permit review.

The UDO requires some sort of landscaping within the parking lot islands (sod, trees, shrubs, mulch, ground cover, etc.), please revise the proposed islands that have pavers shown within them. The required number of open yard shrubs is 100 and 50 for the open yard tree requirement. Please revise accordingly. A waiver to this requirement was not approved on the preliminary development plan.

All trees that are located within utility easements shall be revised to an ornamental variety. There are many locations where there is this conflict. Please revise the landscaping sheets as necessary. A waiver to this requirement was not approved on the preliminary development plan. Show all utility easements on the landscape plan sheets.

The UDO requires an additional parking lot island within the parking lot. For every four rows of parking area a parking lot island is required. A waiver to this requirement was not approved on the preliminary development plan. Has consideration been given to an internal sidewalk connection within the parking lot leading to the front entrance?

Provide the manufacturer's specifications for the wall-pak/building lighting.

All signs are required to be submitted by separate permit and approvals. Prior to the installation of any sings, City approvals are required.

On the architectural sheets provide a dashed line to indicate the location of the proposed RTU's. Provide a detail of proposed RTU screening. A pre manufactured screen was not approved as part of the preliminary development plan.

Indicate on the site plan the location and layout of the proposed outdoor seating area.

Confirm location of trash enclosure and provide detail. Confirm the material of the screening wall for the loading dock area.

Make a note on the accessible sign detail the sign shall conform to R7-8 sign type. This sign has a white background and green border.

Label the drive aisle widths at the island areas. The width is required to be 24-feet (not to include any portion of the curb). Provide the dimension excluding the curb.

At a detail for the proposed retaining wall to include height and exterior building material.

Label and dimension all sidewalks. Are sidewalks proposed along the prviate drives? Staff would encourage this. Is the sidewalk on the north side of the parking lot part of this lot's construction?

Water meter not found in design. Action required: Specify size and location of domestic water meter. 8/8/19 - water meter noted in letter as 1-1/2" but design drawings are not updated. Our water meter flow rates can be found in the downloadable fee estimation tool at: https://cityofls.net/development-services/construction/fees/fee-estimation-tool It is under the "building permit" tab. You'll see that a 2" meter goes up to 100gpm while a 1-1/2" meter is only capable of 50gpm. Update plans accordingly.

Add a sidewalk ramp on the SE corner of the building for pedestrian access to lots south.

Add sidewalk between the store front and east-west prive drive intersection with ramp for crossing the private drive to connect with adjacent lot (pedestrian access).

General: • As previously requested, revise the private road/access drive names to match the Final Development Plan that includes their construction. That FDP names them Private Road A, B and C. • The public easements along Lowenstein Drive have been revised. Please revise these plans to match. • Please revise the Engineer’s Estimate of Probable Construction Costs based on all review comments.

Sheet C01: Revise General Note 13 to refer to the 2018 code.

Sheet C04: Label the retaining wall as Proposed (By Others) rather than Existing.

Sheet C05: • Include the different hatchings in the Legend. • The proposed contour seems to extend to the middle of Pryor Road at the SE lot corner. Please revise. • It appears that labels were only added to proposed contours. Please add to all contours. • There are still many locations where proposed contours do not tie out, especially along lot boundaries. Please revise. • Please clarify the label for the small retaining wall on the south side of the building, “See Others for Details” does not make sense.

Sheet C08: • Please verify the presence of a sanitary sewer service stub to the south of the building. I’m not finding that information. If there is no stub, connection must be made with a cut-in wye. • The most recent plan set submitted to the City shows the stub for water line connection to be approximately 200’ north of the location shown. Please verify and revise as needed. • Indicate the water meter size. • HDPE is not an allowable water line pipe material. Please revise. • Verify that the water meter is located where it can be safely and easily accessed. • Indicate the pipe size and material of the “50 LF New Water Line” near the SE building corner. • Please remove “Public Works, Engineering Division of the” from Site Utility Notes 6 & 7. • Please reference Water Utilities Department in Site Utility Note 17.

Sheet C09: • Storm sewer profiles are required for all pipe greater than 6” in diameter. Please provide. • Verify that all pipe connections are called out along the roof drain. • Please remove “Public Works Dept.” from Note 3.

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. The fire lanes around the building shall be marked with a combination of signs and painted curbs.

Reduce the architectural plan sheet size to be no larger than 24 inches x 36 inches with one inch border.

Provide the drive aisle dimension between the islands within the parking lot. The drive aisle width shall be a minimum of 24' excluding the curb and gutter.

Provide the manufacturer's specifications for all exterior lighting.

The landscaping calculation for the open yard tree and shrub requirements is in error. The total square footage of the lot minus the building footprint (only), is the number to use for the landscape formula. Revise the tree caliper sizes to 3-inch caliper, the Unified Development Ordinance requires 3-inch. If trees are proposed within easements, revise the tree species to that of an ornamental variety.

The UDO requires some sort of landscaping within the parking lot islands (sod, trees, shrugs, mulch, ground cover, shrugs, etc.), please revise. This affects of few of the proposed islands that have pavers shown within them.

The UDO requires an additional parking lot islands (besides the islands on the end of every row), for every four rows. Please revise to account for a centered island somewhere "in the middle" of the parking lot. Had consideration been given to an internal sidewalk connection within the parking lot leading to the front entrance?

The preliminary development plan elevations had an "architectural detail/design that resembled wheat blowing in the wind" on the exterior of the building. Has consideration been given to include the detail with this plan submittal? Staff thought it was a nice detail as shown in the approved PDP.

The proposed pavement details do not meet UDO specifications. Please also refer to Engineering's comment regarding this reference.

Many standard details have been omitted. Please provide details for the following: -accessible sign -curbing -retaining wall (to include height) -proposed fencing -method of RTU screening (if something other than the parapet) -loading dock screening (to include height) -trash enclosure (if proposed)

On the architectural sheets provide a dashed line to indicate the location of the proposed RTU's. How will these be screened?

Label and dimension all sidewalks. Are sidewalks proposed along the private drives? Staff would encourage this. Is the sidewalk on the north side of the parking lot part of this lot's construction? Please clarify.

Clarify the location of the trash enclosure location/screening method. Staff is assuming it's integral to the loading dock area? Provide a detail and description of the proposed loading dock screening method.

Provide a CG-1 curbing call out and detail for proposed curbing.

Show all utility easements on the plan sheets.

Provide the surrounding property information.

All signs are required to be submitted by separate permit and approvals. Prior to the installation of any signs, City approvals are required.

Please reference within the plans the address for this lot of 840 NW Pryor Rd.

General: • Submit an Engineer’s Estimate of Probable Construction Costs. • Submit the SWPPP. • Nothing has been constructed yet on the site, and the timing of all construction elements is still unknown. Items labeled “Existing” would be better off labeled “Proposed (By Others)” or similar. • Revise the private road/access drive names to match the Final Development Plan that includes their construction. • Include all applicable standard details in the plan set.

Sheet C01: • Revise the Water Utilities address to 1200 SE Hamblen Road in the Utilities contact list. • Include the author of the oil/gas well source. • The General Notes introduction references a Preliminary Development Plan, but this is a Final Development Plan. Please revise. • Revise General Note 8 to reference Development Engineering Inspections.

Sheet C02: Why are some storm sewer called out as “Existing” but not all, and no other utilities are labeled that way? Perhaps adding a legend showing line weights/types or adding “Typ” to labels would be more consistent.

Sheet C04: The asphalt pavement sections do not meet the requirements shown in Section 8.620 of the Unified Development Ordinance. Revise details to meet requirements. Please note that the UDO requirements govern over any shown in the referenced geotechnical report unless a waiver is requested and approved by the City Engineer.

Sheet C05: • Label contour elevations. • All proposed contours must tie back into existing contours. • Add contour information to the Legend. • Include Top and Bottom Wall elevations.

Sheet C07: • Specify roof drain size, material, and how it connects to the storm structures. • Specify water line size, material, and what it connects to (tee, cross, etc.) • Label the sanitary sewer service line to be connected to the main with a cut-in tee.

Sheets C11 & C12: The proposed contours must tie back into the existing contours.
