satisfy the Non-Residential Architectural Standards. Suggestion: Extending the
projection along Façade B to 4-feet would satisfy this requirement.
Answer:
On Façade "B", "C" and "D" awnings were added to satisfy the articulation and
architectural element requirements.
Question:
According to Section 7.5D Streetscape Requirements, 300 additional points shall
be required for every 50 linear feet of frontage on a right of way. This site has
approximately 233' of frontage on State Highway 6 which results in an additional
1,398 landscaping points. The total number of landscape points required for this
site is 5,084 points. Please revise the plan accordingly.
Answer: As discussed we have discounted approximately 80 linear feet of
frontage from the streetscape requirements because we are allowed to discount
undeveloped floodplain from our calculations. Therefore utilizing only 157 linear
feet toward these calculations.
Question:
Please clearly illustrate the property lines on the landscape plan and dimension
the lengths of each line.
Answer: These lines have been clarified and dimensions written.
Question:
Streetscaping will be required for this site because it has 233' of frontage along
State Highway 6. The trees need to be planted on the site within 50' of the
property line. Please provide streetscaping calculations in the legend and verify
that the requirement is being met.
Answer: As discussed we have discounted approximately 80 linear feet of
frontage from the streetscape requirements because we are allowed to discount
undeveloped floodplain from our calculations. Therefore utilizing only 157 linear
feet toward these calculations.
Question:
Please be aware that the required buffer plantings cannot be counted towards
the required landscape points. Please provide a separate legend of the
calculation and the required plantings. Also be aware that buffers will be required
along every property line that bounds property R-1 Single Family Residential. In
this case, buffers would be required along the north and west property lines.
Answer:
We have added the buffer plantings per section 7.6 (f) 4 (b) to meet these
requirements. We will be appealing the decision to require these plantings to the
DRB.
Question:
Staff noted that the calculated points for 96 Buford Hollies was incorrect. Please
adjust the plan accordingly.
Answer: This has been corrected.
ENGINEERING COMMENTS NO.2
Question:
Provide documentation that adjacent property owner (Lot 13) is acceptable to the
proposed grading on his property.
Answer: This documentation is forthcoming from Posadas. We understand that
you cannot stamp the plans until you receive this data. We will forward as soon
as we have it.
Question:
Easement dedication needs copy of filed plat and corporate resolution
Answer: A copy of the corporate paperwork is attached. The signed plat to be
filed for record is forthcoming from Posadas owner. As soon as we have this
mylar we will submit it to you.
Question:
Need your opinion as to impacts from increased drainage runoff in drainage
letter. (No negative impacts?)
Answer: Please see attached drainage report supplement.
Question:
Provide velocity appropriate permanent erosion control at stormwater outlets.
Answer: There is some rip rap at the stormwater outfalls, but we have added
additional on the plans.
Question:
Access easements are private, not public. Make sure revised Mylar indicates so.
Answer: We have corrected this notation on the plans and the mylar is silent to
this. The mylar simply indicates it as a PAE so we will clarify this and define PAE
in the legend as a Private Access Easement.
Question:
Add additional gate valve to southeast leg of fire hydrant tee.
Answer: This additional gate valve has been added.
Question:
Why the bend in the 12" storm sewer pipe? Can it be easily unclogged at the
distance from inlet/junction box?
Answer: The bend has been removed.

Re: NTB Resubmittal
Dear Crissy & Carol,
Attached you will find a revised submittal for NTB. During the bidding of the project there was
concern regarding the added construction cost of the rear driveway. My client asked that we try to
redesign the site to eliminate this driveway. This drive will be constructed as a drive aisle in the
future by the adjacent user to the south. To accomplish the elimination of this rear driveway, we
have added a new fire lane that loops back around the parking stalls. To meet truck turning radii
we had to lose two parking stalls, increase the island radius and add pavement on the southwest
end to accommodate the rear wheels of the 18-wheel trucks that will be delivering the tires.
We understand that this layout is a change and that we have already used our three reviews for the
previous submittal. Because of this we are submitting a new application and application fee.
The following is enclosed:
• $200 application fee
• Site plan application
• Fourteen (14) folded copies of site plan
• A copy of the site plan check list
• One (1) folded copy of the landscape plan
• One (1) full set of construction drawings
If y. have any questions please feel free to give me a call.

James—Per my telephone conversation with you this afternoon, I have attached copies of our Reciprocal
Easement Agreement and First Amendment to the REA between Posados and Gateway Six Partners. Reference
is made to Article 2 of the REA and Articles 2 & 3 of the First Amendment to the REA. These two references
clearly denote the right granted to us proceed with the construction of the grading and paving work necessary for
the construction of the driveway for access to Lot 14 (Developer's Parcel/NTB Site). These agreements should
clearly provide evidence to the City that we have the right for the construction of the driveway and will allow the
City to release the Site Development Permit.
I will also be by your office tomorrow morning to pick-up the two sets of updated permit/construction drawings for
the NTB site. Call me if you have any questions. Thanks -
