Site Plan Transmittal date:
1st Review January 16, 2004


COMMENTS: Please resubmit revised drawings along with redlines and a response letter, which states how all Zoning Review Section comments regarding the Land Use Code and Development Standards were addressed.

1. This site is Zoned HO-3 and the proposed use is for Professional and Administrative Office use. In addition to review of the site plan by DSD staff, the site plan must be submitted to Frank Podgorski for review by the Historic Review and approval. The following comments must be addressed and a revised plan submitted to DSD for review. You may submit a copy of the revised plan to Frank Podgorski if all DSD staff's comments have been addressed and the plan reflects the changes required in order for DSD to grant approval. As a caveat if the plan is submitted to Frank Podgorski prior to required changes made to the plan, DSD will require that the revised site plan be re-approved and re-stamped by Frank Podgorski before final approval by the DSD staff.

2. A small, project-location map shall be drawn on the first sheet of the development plan, preferably in the upper right corner. The map should cover approximately one (1) square mile, be drawn at a minimum scale of 3" = 1 mile, and provide the following information.
a. Show the subject property approximately centered within the one (1) square mile area.
b. Identify conditions within the square mile area, such as major streets and watercourses.
c. Section, township, and range; section corners; north arrow; and the scale will be labeled. DS 2-02.2.1.A.4


3. Label all building dimensions. The building square footage cannot be verified. DS 2-02.2.1.A.6

4. The building setback adjacent to the south property line which is zoned HR-2 is to be based on one and one-half (1-1/2) times the height of the building. The proposed building height is listed, as 26 feet therefore the required building setback is 39 feet from the south property line. The notes list the required south building setback as ½ the height, which is incorrect. Please revise the note and provide the correct building setback on the drawing. A Lot Development Option (LDO) review and approval would be required to allow the proposed south building setback. If a Board of Adjustment variance is approved (see comment 7) the setback issue may be addressed as part of the variances requested. DS 2-02.2.1.A.7

5. A minimum of two (2) class two bicycle-parking spaces is required for this use. A fully dimensioned detail drawing of the facility, which includes surfacing material, type/manufacturer, lighting, and the number of bicycles the facility supports must be labeled. Add the bicycle parking calculations to the plan. DS 2-02.2.1.A.9

6. A loading zone is required for the site based on the proposed office use and the proposed building gross floor area of 2,660 square feet. Revise plan to show a loading zone, fully dimensioned. Add a loading zone calculation stating the number of loading zones required and provided. If no loading zone is to be provided a Board of Adjustment variance is required. If a variance application is submitted and approved, place the case number, date of approval, variances approved and conditions on the site plan. LUC 3.4.5.5, DS 2-02.2.1.A.14, DS 2-02.2.2.A.5.

7. Minimum PAAL width required is 24 feet for two-way traffic. Pedestrian circulation may not be located within the proposed entrance drive from 13th Street as shown. Also, pedestrian sidewalks must be physically separated from vehicle use areas by raised concrete curbs or other means as described in DS 3-01.3.3.B.5. Revise to provide a direct continuous pedestrian sidewalk connection to 13th St. that is not located within the 24' access drive. DS 2-02.2.1.A.12 & DS 2-08

8. Revise the pedestrian sidewalk connection to 4th Avenue so that it provides h/c accessibility, i.e. an access ramp. DS 2-08.3.1 & American National Standards Chapters 3 & 4.

9. An access ramp is required at the handicapped parking aisle. Show the access ramp and provide the maximum slope of the associated aisle and the ramp.

10. It appears that the dimension of the backup spur at the south end of the PAAL is somewhat less than 3 feet relative to the h/c parking space, which is located slightly to the south compared to the standard parking space on the opposite side of the PAAL. Dimension the backup spur to show a minimum 3 feet for the h/c parking space. Also, in addition to the required 3-foot back up spur, an additional minimum distance of 3 feet will be provided between the back of the spur and any obstruction over six (6) inches in height. Dimension the distance between the curb of the backup spur and the existing olive tree which is located immediately to the west of the h/c parking aisle. DS 3-05.2.2.D

11. Correct the Township, Section and Range to read; T 14 S, R 13 E, Sec 13.

12. Add existing near and far-side sight visibility triangles at the entrance drive location along 13th Street. DS 2-02.2.1.A.10
