LEGAL DESCRIPTION. The legal description provided on Sheet C100 incorrectly identifies the project site as Lot 9 versus Lot 10.

LOT INFORMATION. The lot line dimensions provided on Sheet C200 are incorrect for the following: the south property line (474.42' instead of 290.94'); the curve length at the SE property corner (134.141' instead of 67.07'); the east property line (375.83' instead of 440.27'); and the northeastern property line (258.89' instead of 187.35').

STREETS. Dimension the roadway width for north-south street along the western lot boundary.

DRIVE AISLES. Internal drive aisles serving two-way traffic shall have a minimum pavement width of 24' (excluding curb and gutter). The 24'-wide dimensioned aisles are taken to the face of the curb as currently shown. Revise to meet the 24' width without the curb (i.e. actual asphalt pavement width only).

PHOTOMETRIC PLAN. The photometric plan only appears to include the parking lot pole-mounted light fixtures. No information is provided for wall-mounted fixtures on the building. The photometric plan shall also include light levels produced by the wall-mounted fixtures. Wall-mounted fixtures shall comply with the fixture standards under UDO Section 8.220, 8.260 and 8.270. Provide specifications for the proposed wall-mounted fixtures.

MECHANICAL EQUIPMENT. Dash in the roof line and roof-top mechanical equipment on the building elevations to ensure that the proposed building parapet wall heights are of sufficient height to fully screen said equipment from view on all sides. Take into account the added height from any curbs on which the RTUs will sit when designing the parapet wall heights.

GARAGE PLANS (SHEETS A-100 AND A-101). Dimension the lengths and widths of the standard parking spaces, accessible spaces and accessible access aisle on the garage floor plans. Also dimension the widths of the drive aisles serving the parking garage.

PLANT MATERIAL SIZE. The caliper size is not provided for most of the trees included in the Plant Schedule. The minimum caliper size for shade trees is 2.5" caliper; the minimum caliper size for ornamental trees is 1.5".

OPEN YARD LANDSCAPING. In addition to the street frontage tree and shrub planting requirements, open yard landscaping is required to be provided at a rate of 1 tree for every 5,000 sq. ft. of total lot area minus the building footprint square footage. Similarly, 2 shrubs are required to be planted for every 5,000 sq. ft. of total lot area minus the building footprint square footage.

PARKING LOT SCREENING. Screening to a height of two and one-half feet must be provided along the edge of the parking lot or loading area closest to and parallel to the street along the western lot boundary. Screening shall be decorative and 100 percent opaque to a height of two and one-half feet above the elevation of the parking/loading area or the street, whichever is highest. See UDO Section 8.820.C for the available parking lot screening options.

STREET TREE LANDSCAPING. One street tree shall be planted along the street frontage along the western lot boundary to satisfy the requirement for 1 tree for every 30' of frontage.

SITE DATA TABLE. For ease of reference, add a line item for the total number of parking spaces provided (standard + ADA stalls) of 220 spaces.

TRASH ENCLOSURES. A detailed drawing of enclosure and screening methods to be used in connection with trash storage containers on the property shall be provided. Each trash enclosure shall be constructed of masonry walls or steel architecturally designed walls with either a solid steel opaque gate painted to be compatible with the color of the masonry or steel walls and building it is to serve or a steel framed semi-opaque gate with a screen mesh material approved by the Director that provides an appropriate visual barrier.

LANDSCAPE 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 islands in the middle of the surface parking lot do not meet the minimum island widths. Also, the trees planted at either ends of these same islands are less than 4' from the back of the curb.

FAA FORM 7460. Due to the proximity of the project site to the airport, an FAA Form 7460 shall be completed and submitted to the FAA, and comments received back prior to any construction.

Revise “Lot 9” to “Lot 9-1” throughout the plan set.

30’ of concrete pavement is required to extend from the trash enclosure door. Please revise to meet this requirement.

Please include the design HGL on all storm sewer Profile views.

Please replace the Junction Box standard detail with the City’s Curb Inlet standard detail (STM-1).

Please remove “STM-4” from the Non-Setback Curb Inlet detail as it isn’t a City standard detail.

Please include the City’s Storm MH Cover (STM-6) and Storm MH Frame (DWG-7) standard details.

Please revise the Light-Duty Asphalt Section detail to specify KCMMB asphalt Type A2. The minimum lift thickness allowed for Type 2 is 2”, which does not meet the UDO requirements. The UDO will be revised to specify overall pavement thickness. Please either specify the overall thickness or revise lift thicknesses accordingly.

Please revise the Fire Line Pavement Section to meet the Fire Department requirements, as included in their comments.

Private easements will be required for the private water mains. Please show throughout the plan set. Coordinate with the developer to determine if these easements will all be platted of by separate document.

Miscellaneous Correction

For a 2" meter, piping from main to 10' past meter to be 2" copper. Amend plans.

Miscellaneous Correction

Specify connection of sanitary to main.

The drive approach radii at the street must be 35 FT. Please revise.
