The calculations for the parking as referenced to the ITE Manual are not reflected accurately within the response memo (only).

Staff would like to follow-up on the previous comment regarding the functionality of the trash enclosure areas and how they could negatively affect access within the private drives. It seems the truck would be backing in to this areas, crossing traffic, and blocking access for through traffic. The Concrete pad requirement (reference comment from previous staff comment letter), has not been met.

Additional Street shrubs are required along the frontages adjacent to private drives. One shrub per 20 feet of street frontage is needed.

Interior courtyard elevations need additional projections and material changes on the north and south elevations. The approved preliminary development plan indicated more projections and material changes than what is currently proposed.

There should be pedestrian connection(s) between Lot 8 and the adjacent lot to the north and south (e.g. Lot 6) along the west side of Private Road B (or along the east side of the building). There are sidewalks along the building and sidewalks on adjacent lots, these should be connected. There's even a illustrated crosswalk with no sidewalk connection on the north east corner of Lot 8.

Revise note #11 on the Title Sheet, the correct department to reference is Development Services.

Provide additional detail in the vicinity map on the Title Sheet.

Staff has concerns on the functionality of the proposed trash enclosures. It seems there could be a traffic conflict with the way they are proposed. It would seem a development of this size would have a loading dock area that would include a compactor, etc. The Unified Development Ordinance requires trash enclosure areas shall be improved with a Portland cement concrete pad and a Portland cement concrete approach 30 feet in length, measured from the enclosure opening. The pad and approach shall be improved with a minimum six inches of full depth unreinforced Portland cement concrete constructed on a sub-grade o four inches of granular base course. Provide a narrative of how trash pick-up is intended to function for this site. Are two trash enclosures adequate? Also, please provide a detail for the proposed trash enclosures.
