Revise the keynote for the bicycle parking facility to indentify whether it is for the short or long term facility. Add a second key note for the other facility. Revise the titles of the bicycle parking details on sheet 4 to correctly identify short and long term facilities. Include a dimensioned detail drawing of the area for the long term facility.

The short term bicycle parking facility must be within 50 feet of the main entrance to the building. The plan does not indicate if the door along the east side of the building is for the public or employees only.

26. COMMENT: As mentioned in a comment above, the site plan on the cover sheet does not include any design information. Sheet 2 is labeled as the Development-Utility Plan and includes the utility information. The line work for the utilities and other site information does not appear to be consistent and does not match any of the any of the lines in the legend.
