f the existing main is clay pipe. (Dig down cut old clay pipe, sleeve back in with PVC and city approved couplings)

If the existing main is clay pipe and you are required to retire multiple laterals for a project.(It may be cheaper for the contractor to install a city approved CIPP liner from manhole to manhole and not cut out the laterals that they are retiring)

If the existing main is PVC pipe. (Remove the lateral pipe from the PVC Wye fitting and install a plug into the Wye. Install a green locating marking ball at the lateral locating, no deeper than 4 ft. below grade)

 

11. Add Engineering standard details 301-1, 301-2, sidewalk details and 305-1, 305-2 driveway and roadway details.

1.                     Flat roofs on principal buildings shall be concealed by parapet walls that extend at least three feet above the roof level and have three-dimensional cornice treatments that project at least eight inches outward from the parapet facade plane (155.5601.C.6). Revise the elevations to meet this code section.

2.                     Make sure the dimensions are scaled properly. The setbacks that are called out as 12’ but actually measure to be 11’ setback.

3.                     Clarify if the opening on the north elevation is an interior hallway/balcony or if it protrudes from the building. Is this an un-air-conditioned hallway?

4.                     Comment not addressed: An open balcony is permitted to extend up to five feet into a required rear yard only (155.9402.C). All other sides of the building must meet the required setback, therefore the front and side balconies must be moved back within this setback. The southwest balcony on the front elevation is not within the required setback, nor are the eight balconies on the south elevation.

5.                     Upper-story balconies serving individual dwelling units located within 100 feet of a single-family dwelling shall be oriented or configured to prevent direct views into the dwelling's rear yard (155.5601.C.8.b). The balconies on the south elevation look directly into a rear yard of a single family home and shall be removed.

6.                     Provide the setback from the rear property line to the balconies on the east. Balconies can only extend five feet into the rear setback, therefore, they must be at least seven feet from the east property line to the balconies.

7.                     Provide a note on the site plan that signage will be used to indicate which parking spaces are the compact spaces (155.5102.2).

8.                     Comment not addressed: A 5’ wide Vehicular Use Area perimeter landscape strip is required between all parking spaces and the property line (155.5203.D.3.c). This applies to the east property line. See the following comment for the south property line. The A-1 Ground Floor plan shows there is only 1’8’’ of landscape in this area on the south property line and the landscaped area is not dimensioned on the east property line. Revise the landscape area and provide the dimensions on all sides.

9.                     Off-street surface parking areas located adjacent to single-family residential development shall be screened by a type C perimeter buffer in accordance with Section 155.5203.F, Perimeter Buffers (155.5604.C.4). This requires a 10’ wide buffer, an 8’ wall, and various landscaping on the south property line.

10.                     Comment not addressed: Provide the width of the pedestrian sidewalks on the site plan that are proposed inside of the property lines (north and west of the building). They must be at least 5’ wide per 155.5101.I.3.a.

11.                     The minimum level of illumination within the vehicular use area is 0.5 foot-candle. The maximum level of illumination at the property line, measured at five feet above ground level, is 2.0 foot-candle for multifamily residential districts. Revise the photometric plan to show the foot-candles on the entire drive aisle and on the properties lines. The current plan only shows the foot-candles on half of the entrance drive aisle. 

12.                     Comment not addressed: Any light source or lamp that emits more than 900 lumens shall be concealed or shielded with full cut-off style fixture with an angle not exceeding 90 degrees to minimize glare and unnecessary light diffusion onto adjacent properties and streets (155.5401.G). Provide a detail of the lighting fixtures that show this cut-off style for the fixtures that exceed 900 lumens.

13.                     Wall packs on buildings may be used at entrances to a building to light unsafe areas. They are not intended to draw attention to the building or provide general building or site lighting. Wall packs on the exterior of the building shall be fully shielded (e.g., with true cut-off type bulb or light source not visible from off-site) to direct the light vertically downward and have a light output of 900 lumens or less (155.5401.I). Revise any lighting types that are wall packs.

14.                     Comment not addressed: There is currently no mechanical equipment rendered on the site plan. Any ground floor mechanical equipment must be at least 3 feet from the property line and screened with either a solid fence or dense landscaping per 155.5301.A.  Mechanical equipment mounted on the roof of a building shall be screened by a parapet wall, roof screen, or similar device of a height equal to or exceeding the height of the mechanical equipment being screened. Note that mechanical equipment is not permitted to be placed in front of the principal structure.

15.                     Comment not addressed: The parking garage must meet the Parking Deck or Garage Design Standards found in section 155.5605. All building facades of the parking deck or garage that are facing a street; within 100 feet of a street or an open space; or are visible from a street shall be harmonious and complement the principal structure and contain all of the following architectural treatments:

            i.   Facade articulation (i.e. wall offsets); and

            iii.   Material and color variation; and

            iv.   Varied proportions of openings.

         b.   No vehicles parked within or on the roof of the deck or garage shall be visible from the street. All openings shall be treated with decorative screening or in a manner that creates the appearance of an active use area and conceals all internal elements such as plumbing pipes, fans, ducts and lighting.

 

More specifically, in addition to i-iv above, the openings must be redesigned to shield the vehicles from view from the street and the all openings (on all sides) must be screened.

 

16.                     Comment not addressed: Provide colored elevations in order to clearly depict the proposed elevations.

17.                     Comment not addressed: Multi-family design standards (155.5601.C.3).

18.                     All parking areas containing more than ten parking spaces shall provide bicycle racks or lockers sufficient to accommodate the parking of at least four bicycles for each ten parking spaces, or major fraction thereof, above ten spaces-provided that no more than 20 bicycle parking spaces shall be required in any one parking area (155.5102.L). The current site plan only shows enough parking for two bicycles. This proposed site plan requires at least four bicycle parking spaces, however, it is encouraged to have more for the residences.

19.                     Provide the setback distance on the site plan from the new dumpster enclosure location. The enclosure shall be at least five feet from the side property line and is not permitted to be located within an easement (155.5301.C.2).

20.                     Provide a detail of the dumpster enclosure. The height of the screening walls and gate shall be at least six inches higher than the height of the container. Commercial containers shall be screened on three sides by a durable, sight-obscuring wall constructed of brick, masonry, stone, or similar material, and on the fourth side by a wood or metal gate. Where the container is located next to a building wall, the building wall may serve as a screening wall, and the other screening walls or fences shall incorporate at least one of the primary materials or colors of the adjacent building wall (155.530.                     C.1.a).

21.                     Identify the easement location on the site plan.

22.                     A note was added to the site plan stating a six foot fence will be added around the property but it was not shown on the site plan itself. Either provide the location of the proposed fence with the height and fence type called out or remove this note from the site plan. If this fence is in reference to a temporary construction fence then revise the note to say so.

23.                     A Utility Easement Agreement must be submitted for the parking spaces, pavement, and wall located within the 5’ utility easement along the south property line prior to building permit approval.

Ensure adequate height clearance, access, and maneuverability for trash collection vehicles are provided.


1. Toting a garbage dumpster to the street for service is not permitted. However, smaller carts would be allowed if the property management is willing to set the carts out on the swale on collection days.


2. The enclosure as shown on the site plan is not big enough for a dumpster. It is suggested to enlarge the enclosure to a minimum size of 10 feet by 10 feet or plan to use smaller, individual garbage carts for these residential units.
