Responses to Staff Review Comments No.1 JIM SINGLETON
Project: The Enclave Apartments—Recreational Area Remodel (SP) ARCHITECTS
08-00500094
\/ 1. ING (page 1)
1. Clearly define the existing improvements on site versus the proposed. There are several
lines all around the site that look like there are two layers(around the parking for example)
and there are too many lines to clearly see what is going on. Please call Lauren Hovde
when you receive these comments so we can clarify. We now show a bold line around
- I the borders of the affected area.
V 2. Remove all arrows that have no description.Ww th Laurenae removed all Hovde, we have provided
✓ traneous arrows.
3. Show trees to be removed. Per discussions
the list of removed trees on the site plan sheet.
J4. Provide legend on Sheet A100 stating how many trees to be removed, and their caliper
size, and what trees are being planted to replace those trees. We do not need the
additional details on the shrubs and non-canopy trees being planted. This is now on the
same site plan sheet rather than separate.
/5. Reduce size key map.The key map has been reduced.
✓6. Provide a north arrow.The north arrow is shown on the site plan.
/7. Is the key map to scale or not to scale?There is a scale, but the map states that it is not to
scale. The newly reduced key map is not to scale. It is for orientation purposes
only.
✓8. Provide the legal description of the lot, and please add the total area of the affected area
in the title block.The legal description now appears on the same site plan sheet.The
total area and affected were already shown on the site plan in the bottom right
corner of the sheet.
A. Provide ownership and current zoning of the parcel on sheet A100. There is no need to
put the adjacent property zoning on the site plan since these changes are completely
surrounded by the existing Enclave complex. Ownership and current zoning are now
/ shown on the site plan.Adjacent property zoning will be omitted as noted.
✓ 10. Provide the gross square footage of the new structure in a note on sheet A100. The
gross square footage of 1,624 was already shown on the building.
/
• Rename site plan as The Enclave Apartments — Recreational Area Remodel. The site
/ plan has now been renamed as noted.
✓ 12. We are a little confused as to the building layout of the existing apartment buildings on the
site plan. The aerial we are looking at shows one building to the west of the proposed
changes, not 3. The previous drawing showed the building footprints. The new
drawing shows the breezeways and the rooflines dashed in as well.
V13. What is the rectangle on the west side of the building that is only 12 feet from the
proposed fitness center? Building separation must be 15 feet, and I cannot what this is.
The offending rectangle is a condensing unit pad. It is now noted as such.The new
/ building is 16'-5"from the existing building.
`'14. Provide note with the confirming FEMA/FIRM flood panel as to existence of floodplain on
this tract on sheet A100. There is now a note on the site plan sheet stating that the
site is not in the Flood Plain.
✓15. On the upper left hand corner, what is TRAY? "TRAV" was an extraneous note from
the survey. It has now been removed.
116. What is the dashed line in the parking lot on the west? The dashed lines are Utility
Easement No. 2 2539/23. Noted on the site plan.
✓17. It looks like a corner of the building is in the easement, please clearly show the easement
and gray out the landscaping or use some other method to clearly see if that structure
extends into that easement. The corner of the building is not in electrical easement.
. a
• Page 2 May 7, 2008
Previously, the equipment screening fence was slightly into the easement. It has
now been adjusted to miss the easement.
v18. Please clearly show different utility lines. Electric lines should be—E--, sewer lines should
be—SS—, and water lines should be--W--.Different Utility lines are now designated in
the requested manner.
119. Provide volume and page number of utility easement.2539/23 is the utility easement
where the water main is located. 2539/18 is the Electrical Easement No. 2 noted on
the site plan.
1 20. Provide a general note that all roof and ground-mounted mechanical equipment shall be
screened from view or isolated so as not to be visible from any public right-of-way or
residential district within 150' of the subject lot, measured from a point five feet above
grade. Such screening shall be coordinated with the building architecture and scale to
maintain a unified appearance. This new building and its equipment are more than
150' from any adjacent properties. However, the ground-mounted equipment will
be screened by a fence and landscaping.This is now noted on the site plan.
LANDSCAPINGISTREETSCAPINGBUFFER(page 2)
✓1. Provide a general note that 100% coverage of groundcover, decorative paving, decorative
rock (not loose), or a perennial grass is required in parking lot islands, swallesturbed s and drainage
ae
areas, the parking lot setback, rights-of-way, and adjacent property during
/ construction. Now noted on Landscaping Plan.

drain silt fencing, the construction entrance, and concrete wash-out area.

changes to the grading pattern. Noted on site plan.

4. Please label and dimension all easements. Existing easements are now noted on the
site plan. There are no new easements required.
5. Please show how the storm drain is being rerouted. One section of the existing storm

modified on the site plan.

FIRE(page 2)
1. The dotted lines indicated on the site plan does not correctly show the lay of hose.The
building will now be fire sprinklered in accordance with the applicable Codes.
There is a remote FDC shown at the Fire Lane,due to distance requirements.
2. "The lay of hose"shown from the fire lane goes through the breeze way of another
building.We will not fight a fire through another building. See response to note 1.
3. The proposed building is more then 150'from the fire lane therefore the building is not
permitted to be constructed as shown in the current site plan. See response to note 1.
4. Site plan is denied as proposed. See response to note 1.This newly proposed
solution was discussed and approved with Eric Dotson.
