Project: CHAMPION CREEK(SP) - 06-00500016
PLANNING
1. The zoning of the subject property is correct on the site plan (A-P Administrative
Professional). However it is not "Commercial/Office". Please amend notes on sheet
C1.2 by removing the word "Commercial" and inserting Administrative Professional.
In the parking legend you can use "Office" and your(Notes :) can put "Office Use".
2. (FYI) Please be aware that a Certificate of Occupancy cannot be issued for any of
the buildings until all site/landscape work is 100% complete and inspected. (In
reference to previous phasing comment)
3. The dumpster detail is not clear as to the dimension of the pad and the placement of
the bollards. It appears from the site plan the bollards are being placed at the rear of
the enclosure..? Which is ok as long as there is still 12 feet of depth clearance. As
previously mentioned the enclosure is required to match the proposed buildings.
Please provide color/material samples with the detail drawing. (NRA)
4. Per the site plan check list under landscaping a Buffer is requirement per Section 7.6
of the Unified Development Ordinance (UDO). The subject property abuts the R-1
Single Family properties to the east and the south. According to Section 7.6.F, there
is a 10-foot planted buffer required with a wooden fence a minimum of 6 -feet in
height. Please see this section of the UDO for your required plantings. Please be
aware that buffer planting requirements cannot count toward the
landscape/streetscape point calculations requirements.
5. Please provide buffer plantings in the landscape legend.
6. Please identify the streetscape calculations and point requirements separately like
the landscape has been done.
7. Please provide the caliper of proposed plantings in the legend.
8. Need color/material samples and detail drawing on the proposed retaining wall.
(NRA)
9. Per Section 7.5.3.C.4 - Every project must expend a minimum of 50% of its point
total on canopy trees. Currently the landscape plan is not meeting this requirement.
10. (FYI) Please be aware that signs are permitted separately.
