Sheet A2.1 still is showing the 24’ tall monument sign. Please remove this drawing from the plans.

Please label the width of the sidewalks adjacent to the building to ensure they are a minimum of 6’.

Easements may not be vacated by minor plat. This will require separate applications. Please remove these labels form the plan documents.

Building Elevations – Please provide color elevations of the proposed building.

Ground cover - Open areas not covered with other materials shall be covered with sod. Please label these areas.

Trash Enclosures - A detailed drawing of enclosure and screening methods to be used in connection with trash storage containers on the property shall be included with the landscaping plan. Where will the dumpsters be located for this site?

Island width - Tree planting areas shall be no less than 10 feet in width. No tree shall be located less than 4 feet from the back of curb. The trees along NE Vanderbilt seem to be squeezed in. Please label the setback of the trees from the curbing and syntactic turf area. Please also label the width between the curbing and the turf in this area.

Parking lot screening - Screening to a height of 2.5 feet must be provided along the edge of the parking lot or loading area closest to and parallel to the street. Please add additional shrubs along the east edge of the parking lot adjacent to NE Ralph Powell Rd.

Parking dimensions – Parking stalls are required to be 9’ wide x 19’ deep or 9’ wide x 17’ deep if the parking space abuts a 6’ wide sidewalk or when abutting a curbed open green/landscaped space. The parking stall along the outer perimeter are to short, 15.5’. Please also label the sidewalk with between the building and parking stalls adjacent to the south and west facades of the building.

Curbing - CG-1 concrete curbing is required around all parking areas and access drives in office, commercial and industrial districts. You will need a modification to seek relief from this requirement for curbing around the “test area”.

Accessible Parking Space Size - Accessible parking spaces shall have an adjacent aisle 5 feet wide, and one in every 8 accessible spaces (but no less than one) shall be adjacent to an aisle 8 feet wide and the space shall be clearly marked with a sign indicating that the space is “van accessible. Please label the width of the ADA aisles.

Accessible Parking Space Location - Accessible spaces shall be located at the nearest point to the front building entry and/or accessible ramp. Such spaces separated by a drive aisle shall have clearly discernable cross walks. Please relocate the ADA stalls nearest to the main entrance of the proposed building.

Accessible Parking Space Location – Please show the accessible route from the parking stall to the entrance. As show there is curbing blocking the rout from both sets of ADA stalls to the entrances.

Accessible Parking Space Location – How will you protect the building from errant vehicles parking in the ADA stalls? The use of curb blocks at the head of accessible parking spaces when they are adjacent to a pedestrian walkway with no raised curb is acceptable.

Accessible Parking Standards - All accessible parking shall comply with the requirements of the federal Americans with Disabilities Act.

Signs – The UDO limits the number of signs to 3 for a single tenant building in this zoning district. You will need to seek approval of your proposed sign package. Please do so by providing a written narrative providing justification for the requested sign package. Staff can support the signs package excluding the monument sign. See the below comment for more about the monument sign.

Monument sign – A monument sign is defined as a freestanding sign in which the entire bottom of the sign is in contact with the ground, or which is mounted on a solid base at least two-thirds of the width of the sign face, providing a solid and continuous background for the sign face from the ground to the top of the sign. The base of the proposed monument sign does not meet the minimum width requirement. Currently the sign bass is only 40.3% of the width of the overall sign. It needs to be a minimum of 66.6% or 95.9” wide.

Signs – A monument sign is limited to 72 sq. ft. for the sign face area and 96 sq. ft. for the structure area with a maximum height of 12’ tall in the CP-2 zoning district. The proposed sign far exceeds these limitations. Please reduce the size of the sign to meet the UDO requirements. Staff cannot support a sing this large.

Motorcycle sales is an allowed use in the CP-2 zoning district as long as there is no outdoor display. If you would like outdoor display of the motorcycles you will need to seek a modification.

Modification Statement - A narrative statement that explains the need for and justification for all requested modifications of the applicable zoning district regulations, shall be submitted in support of the application for the preliminary development plan approval.

Please show the proposed monument sign on the site plan, Sheet C. 101. There are 2 boxes on sheet C. 101 shown in the south east corner of the property but they are not labeled. Are these the monument sign?

Setbacks – Please label the set back of the bathroom building from the property line.

Easements may not be vacated by minor plat. This will require separate applications. Please remove these labels form the plan documents.

Label the width of the drive entrance from NE Ralph Powell Rd.

The south east corner of the proposed building look to be over the building setback line. Is this part of the building or is it something else?

The UDO requires all roof top units to be screened by a parapet wall at least the height of the units. Please provide more detail on how the RTUs will be screened. Are you proposing an inset parapet wall, are these boult on screens or are you proposing another screening method? Will there be any ground mounted mechanical units?

Metal is a conditional material that will require the approval of the Planning Commission and City Council. Please label the total % of each façade material.

What material is being proposed on the underside of the awnings and roof overhangs?

The private water main shown on the utility plan needs substantial work. In addition, there are several conflicts with easements that need to be eliminated. The storm line shown in the southwest connecting to the curb inlet on Ralph Powell Rd. likely needs to be replaced. Features are called-out without any identification, and there are questionable materials shown on the call-outs. Finally, there is a private storm line crossing onto Lot 9-C without any apparent private easement. Please see separate sheet showing markups showing the various issues with the utility plan. This sheet will be provided separate from these comments.

Utility easements and egress/ingress easements shown on the previous plat need to be vacated by separate document to eliminate conflicts. This would include the cul-de-sac bulb, the easements shown around the cul-de-sac bulb, and any other areas where existing easements create conflicts with the placement of private stormwater structures, lighting, backflow vaults, etc.

As shown on the Preliminary Development Plan, it would appear Lot 9-C of the parent plat will be responsible for the majority of the private road maintenance serving this development from the north. There is no clear delineation of who maintains what, nor to what limits they are maintained. Please define on the replat who will be responsible for maintenance, and where they will be responsible for maintenance.

Nyloplast inlets are called-out on the private street access road. Please use the City standard curb inlet rather than a nyloplast inlet.

Trees are shown directly on top of the public sanitary main near the west side of the project. A minimum of 5 feet is required from the outside of the pipe or manhole to the outside of the mature tree trunk. Even though these trees are ornamental, it appears there are better alternatives than placing on top of the sanitary sewer line. Please revise.
