Project: CSISD CREEK VIEW ELEMENTRAY (SP) — 07-00500282
PLANNING
1. Since rezoning is not considered for ISD projects, please remove the proposed zoning line
and references to proposed zoning.
2. Provide easement dedication sheet for the proposed ROW dedication for Eagle Avenue.
3. Please note the address for the site is 1001 Eagle Avenue.
4. It appears the "Future Portable Building Location" does not have adequate fire coverage. If it
is to remain on this site plan as a proposed building location, fire coverage needs to be
provided. If the location is removed and portable structures are proposed in the future, a
revised site plan, meeting fire coverage, will need to be submitted at that time.
5. Please provide a Landscape Plan for review. While the Landscape Plan will not be
reviewed for compliance with Unified Development Ordinance 7.5 (Landscaping and Tree
Protection), it will be checked for conflicts with proposed utilities and infrastructure.
6. Please note that 100% coverage of groundcover, decorative paving, decorative rock, or a
perennial grass is required in parking lot islands, swales and drainage areas, the parking lot
setback, rights-of-way, and adjacent property disturbed during construction.
7. Please note that if an irrigation system is installed, it will need to be tested prior to issuance
of a Certificate of Occupancy as per the following general notes: Irrigation system must be
protected by either a Pressure Vacuum Breaker, a Reduced Pressure Principle Back Flow
Device, or a Double-Check Back Flow Device, and installed as per City Ordinance 2394 and
All BackFlow devices must be installed and tested upon installation as per City Ordinance
2394.
