Project: RED LOBSTER - MDW CENTER (SP)—07-00500272
PLANNING
1. The scale provided does not match the scale of the drawing. Please revise.
2. Please note that staff will not be able to verify that the newly proposed driveway has
adequate spacing from existing driveways until the site plan is correctly scaled. Ideally,
scale the site plan such that it is continuous with no match lines.
3. Please show all of Lot 2, Block 1 on the site plan with a phase line separating the
developing area from the undeveloped area.
4. Please show the ownership and zoning of all abutting parcels on the site plan.
5. It appears that the "Adjacent Zoning" designations are not accurate. Please revise.
6. Please revise the "Site Acreage" to include the newly proposed driveway area.
7. Please revise the "Existing Zoning" to include the C-1, and OV(Corridor Overlay District).
8. Please revise the required Parking Data to reflect 109 parking spaces required as factional
spaces are increased to the next whole number.
9. There appears to be 169 regular parking spaces (not 170). Please revise the totals.
10. The Landscape Plan cannot be partially revised. They are reviewed for compliance in
relation to the entire site. Please submit a revised Landscape Plan that includes the entire
site, though the phased area not being developed can be excluded.
11. Please note that the required 30' buffer area located on the western property line of Lot 2,
Block 1, as per rezoning Ordinance #2242, will be inspected and verified for compliance
prior to the issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy.

ENGINEERING COMMENTS NO. 1
1. It appears that with the construction of the proposed entrance there will be no future
access possible to the undeveloped 2 acre tract, as the required throat depth to swing the
new entrance toward this tract would put the drive isle in the detention pond.
2. Please verify that the proposed entrance meets the fire lane turning radius requirements:
33-ft radius for inside wheel and 48-ft radius for outside wheel.
3. The fill that was placed for the future construction of this proposed entrance is directly
downstream from the detention pond inlet structure, what is going to protect this entrance
from being undermined by drainage in the detention pond?
4. Was the fill that was placed for the future construction of this proposed entrance
compacted properly to achieve structural stability?

SUBJECT: Revised Comments for Red Lobster- MDW Center- Site Plan
I forwarded the initial round of comments for the above-referenced site plan
yesterday, November 13, 2007. There was one additional comment that was
omitted from those comments that also needs to be addressed:
• Unified Development Ordinance (UDO) Section 7.2.D, End Islands, states
that a raised island of at least 180 square feet is to be located at both
ends of every parking row. As such, the proposed demolition of the end
island near the dumpster enclosures cannot occur as submitted.
understand our Sanitation department does not have the necessary
clearance for service as currently constructed and will require some
modification. As a result, the dumpster enclosures should be realigned so
as to provide sufficient access for the sanitation vehicles and/or the end
island will need to be moved and some parking spaces lost to
accommodate them.
I apologize for not including this in yesterday's correspondence. If there are
comments that you are not addressing with the revised site plan, please attach a
letter explaining the details. If you have any questions or need additional
information, please call me at 979.764.3570.
