Identification and Descriptive Data

All improvements and site information, such as adjacent rights-of-way and property lines, shown on the landscape plan will be identical in size and location to those shown on the base plan (site plan or tentative plat). Should amendments be required to the base plan through the review process, the same amendments will be made to the landscape plan which will then be resubmitted along with the base plan.

The landscape plan will contain the following identification in the lower right corner of each sheet:

Any relevant case number for reviews or modifications that affect the site

Square footage of the oasis allowance area and calculation

Interior landscape borders are required as a buffer and visual transition along the common property lines between adjacent land uses and zones as determined in Table 7.6.4-1. Interior landscape border is required to screen this site from adjacent residential zoned properties.

One canopy tree is required for every 33 linear feet of landscape border or fraction thereof, excluding vehicular ingress or egress points.

Where motor vehicle parking spaces or parking area access lanes (PAALs) are located next to the property line or where the interior landscape border conflicts with a utility easement, an interior landscape border is not be required if all of the following requirements are met:

(1) An equivalent number of trees are planted elsewhere on the site between the building(s) and the property line, or if the use on the site does not include buildings, the required canopy trees are located between the principal use and the property line;

(2) The trees are evenly distributed over the site; and

(3)The minimum planting area required in Section 7.6.4.B.3, Planter Area, is provided for each canopy tree .

a) Label existing ROW along Park Avenue per recorded, approved final plat.
b) Label existing sidewalk and proposed sidewalk along frontage streets.
c) Show existing SVT's on site plan and label dimensions for both future and existing SVT's on planview.
4) Admin Man Sec.4.9.O, Tech Man Sec.2-01.9: Address the following setback comments:
a) Due to high failure rate of basins to meet drain down time requirements, all retention areas (basin and water harvesting) shall have positive gradients. Add bleed pipe systems, scuppers, positive gradients, and sufficient outlet areas to meet drain down time, and to prevent hold-up, delays at post-construction final grading inspection approval stage.
b) Provide geotechnical report recommendations for basin setbacks form structures, or provide 20-ft setback from buildings to basins.
c) Regarding proposed vegetation, provide soils/geotechnical report showing that vegetation meets soils report recommendations, or, provide positive gradient away from structures with setback for irrigation and proposed vegetation per building codes.
5) UDC 8.4.3.B.6, Admin Man Sec.2-06.4.9.N.4: Drainage Report needs to meet minimum standards per City Drainage Manual and Detention Retention Manual. Address the following comments:
a) Admin Man Sec.4.9.N.1: Explain in drainage report how FFE's were determined - provide adjacent 100-year WSEL and corresponding finished floor elevation on planview grading/drainage sheet C102 and in report.
b) Tech Manual Secs.4-04, 4-03: Any proposed depressed areas must follow geotech/soils report recommendations. Positive gradients should be provided away from structures per building codes. Swales and/or bleed pipes and/or storm drain system should be provided to provide positive gradient from basins.
c) Volume for basins may be used within waterharvesting areas. Explain volume of detention/retention is each basin location in report. Retention areas also may use bleed pipes to meet the maximum 12 hour drain down time.
d) See Technical Manual Section 4-04.2.1.1 for report format and content requirements.
e) Geotechnical infiltration testing may be used to substantiate basin location however safety factors must be used and the basins must have post construction infiltration testing if bleed pipes are not used. Basins without positive gradients to outlet infrastructure are not recommended due to high failure rates and significant additional cost and time to developer if basins fail and re-engineering of basins, resubmittal of the revision for review and approval and re-construction, are required prior to final inspection approval.
6) Tech Man Sec 8-01.5: Add detail showing 10-ft clear between bollards and gate for solid waste pick-up area. Label gate material - this material must be opaque. Also show 2% grades away from pad; this area may not be used for any flow line for drainage.

Submit revised sheets, any supporting documentation, and comprehensive response letter. Please call me to set up a meeting prior to resubmittal to discuss comments, or call for clarifications at 837-4934.
