DRIVE AISLE WIDTH. All driveways and drive aisles serving two-way traffic shall have a minimum 24' pavement width (exclusive of curb and gutter). - The drive aisle entrance at the southeast parking lot corner only has a pavement width of 22' where that entrance is flanked by landscape islands on both sides. Revise so it has a minimum pavement width of 24' (28' back-of-curb to back-of-curb).

ROOF-TOP MECHANICAL UNITS. City ordinance requires that parapet walls be extended to a height at least equal to the height of the RTUs in order to fully screen them from view on all sides. The building cross section provided shows the parapet wall approximately 1 foot lower in height than the top of the RTU. Also, please confirm that the parapet height along all sides of the building will meet the minimum height requirement to screen the RTU from view.

Sheet C4.0: • As previously requested, please delete Utility Note 4. • Note 20B references an incorrect note. Please revise. • Revise the water meter location to be within 1’ of the easement line, as required by the Design and Construction Manual.

Sheet C8.0: • Revise Line B, changes in direction are only allowed at structures. • As stated previously, profiles are required for all pipe greater than 6” diameter. Add a profile for the line connecting to CI A-2.

Sheet C9.0: • Revise detail CW2, the City requires KCMMB 4K concrete. • Revise the names of the pavement details to clarify usage of each.

Submit a revised Engineer’s Estimate of Probable Construction Costs based on these review comments.

UTILITY EASEMENTS. Label and dimension all utility easements. There is an unlabeled drainage easement at the NW lot corner and a sanitary sewer easement at the SE lot corner. Please add the labeled easements to the Utility Plan (Sheet C4.0).

DRIVE AISLE WIDTH. All driveways and drive aisles serving two-way traffic shall have a minimum 24' pavement width (exclusive of curb and gutter). - The drive aisle entrances serving the various rows of parking only have a pavement width of 22' where those entrances are flanked by landscape islands on both sides. Revise so all drive aisle entrances have a minimum pavement width of 24' (28' back-of-curb to back-of-curb). - The exterior drive aisles flanked by parking spaces on one side and curbed islands on the other side only have a pavement width of 23'. Revise to meet the minimum required 24' of pavement width (not including curb and gutter).

SITE ENTRIES (DRIVEWAYS). Clearly identify the limits of the curbing, driveway and parking lot areas on the abutting lot to the east that will be constructed as part of this project. As currently shown on the plans, only half of the driveway and drive aisle are contained within the limits of the subject property. Should the full extent of the pavement, curbing, island, etc., that is shown on the plans is not what will be constructed as part of this project, then temporary asphalt curbing shall be provided at the eastern limit of the paved area where the parking lot and drives will be extended to the east as part of future development. Call out the limits of any temporary asphalt curbing.

ROOF-TOP MECHANICAL UNITS. Dash in the location of all RTUs on the building elevations to the extent possible in order to ensure that the proposed parapet heights are of a height to fully screen all RTUs from view. City ordinance requires that parapet walls be extended to a height at least equal to the height of the RTUs in order to fully screen them from view on all sides. This comment was mistakenly omitted from the previous review.

The shared driveway construction has been noted on the plans by others and discussed with the developer for coordination. The intent is understood, but the plans remains unclear. As-built drawings should reflect the driveway as constructed; the entire drive width must be done to support either adjacent lot and both lots.

Although the plans did not address the prior comment to show existing/approved driveways on the north side of Donovan, the approved driveway associated with Summit Square Apts Phase 2 FDP was cross-referenced by staff and the driveway alignment was confirmed. No further action needed on this item.

There is no such label in the detail legend on Sheet C3.0. - According to the Grading Plan (Sheet C5.0), there is a 6" sidewalk/curb at the head of the parking bay on the south side of the building that transitions to 0" in front of the ADA spaces. What is the curb height in front of the two parking spaces at the northeast building corner? 0" curb height in front of the ADA spaces is acceptable, but the non-ADA space requires a raised curb or bollard to prevent vehicle encroachment onto the sidewalk. Curb blocks are not permitted.

RIGHT-OF-WAY. Label the ROW widths for NW Ward Rd and NW Donovan Rd.

UTILITY EASEMENTS. Label and dimension all utility easements. There is an unlabeled drainage easement at the NW lot corner and a sanitary sewer easement at the SE lot corner.

ADA PARKING SPACES. - To meet City ordinance, the ADA parking spaces shall be a minimum 9' in width. Plans show the spaces at 8' wide. - The required sign at the head of each ADA parking space shall be sign type R7-8 (white background, green border, green text and blue wheelchair symbol), as identified in the MUTCD. Label the sign type on the detail on Sheet C10.0.

DRIVE AISLE WIDTH. All driveways and drive aisles serving two-way traffic shall have a minimum 24' pavement width (exclusive of curb and gutter). - The drive aisle entrances serving the various rows of parking only have a pavement width of 22' where those entrances are flanked by landscape islands on both sides. - The exterior drive aisles flanked by parking spaces on one side and curbed islands on the other side only have a pavement width of 23'.

DOCK AREA SCREENING. Please verify that a screen wall will be provided on the north side of the building to block the view of the dock. Sheet A-131 appears to show a screen wall, but it isn't clear or called out on any other civil or architectural sheet that a screen wall is proposed. If a wall is proposed, provide the height and length of the screen wall.

LANDSCAPE PLAN. - In addition to street trees, shrubs are required along the street frontages at a ratio of 1 shrub per 20' of street frontage. - The proposed trees do not meet the minimum size requirements at the time of planting of 3" caliper for deciduous trees and 8' height for evergreen trees.

LIGHTING PLAN. - Sheet C13.0 shows the site as having AVG/MIN and MAX/MIN footcandle ratios of 31.7 and 86.0, respectively. The site shall not exceed AVG/MIN and MAX/MIN ratios of 6:1 and 20:1, respectively.

BUILDING ELEVATIONS. - Re-label the Front (4), Rear (3), Side (2) and Side (1) elevations as the South, North, East and West elevations, respectively. - To meet the four-sided architecture requirement, architectural and material elements from the north and south elevations shall be extended onto the north and west elevations. Horiztonal and vertical architectural elements are required for the north and west sides to provide architectural relief for the large expanse of blank walls.

SITE ENTRIES (DRIVEWAYS). Call out and clarify the limits of the driveway and parking lot areas on the abutting lot to the east that will be constructed as part of this project. As currently shown on the plans, only half of the driveway and drive aisle are contained within the limits of the subject property.
