It appears that the site will not be able to be phased by individual building as proposed. For example, the first dumpsters constructed are within Phase 2C, necessitating it be within a first phase. Phases also are not to be divided in the middle of parking rows or drive aisles and are to incorporate turn around areas for fire and sanitation departments, etc. Please incorporate the creek crossings into phases that are part of the Building 9 through 15 side of the development. In making all of these considerations Staff suggests consolidating phases, perhaps into 2 or 3 on each side of the creek. Comment addressed. A separate phasing plan sheet has been provided with the site plan. The owner continues to wish to permit each building separately. Therefore, we have broken down the phasing to be more specific and provided a table on the phasing plan which lists proceeding phases which must be complete before a building phase is considered fully complete. We feel that this method will allow us to individually permit the buildings like is currently done on phase I while meeting your concerns. 2. Please place a note on the site plan that phases are to be constructed sequentially from already developed phases such that for safety purposes residents would not be passing through an active construction site. Comment addressed, see phasing plan and sheet C-07 3. Please place a note on the site plan that states the area of the property zoned A-0 Agricultural Open is to remain in a natural state and vegetation preserved except for the approved creek crossings and minor drainage maintenance activities approved by the City's Public Works Department. Comment addressed, see sheet C-07 note 15. 4. It appears that the match lines for the site plan exclude the property directly underneath them. For example, Sheets C-06 and C-07 are missing parking spaces, landscape islands, etc that should be on one sheet or the other. Please revise. Comment addressed 5. There now appears to be 13 spaces in front of Building#7 instead of 12. Please revise. Comment addressed 6. Including the additional spot above, there appears to be only 522 parking spaces. Please verify the total and revise on Sheet C-07. Comment addressed 7. On Sheet C-07, the Parking Required calculations should state that 128 spaces (not 124) are required for the Building Type 5 subtotal. Comment addressed 8. The total required landscaping points for this project is 22,540 (16,990+5,550). Please revise the figure on Sheet 5L that states 24,650. Comment addressed 9. Please revise the Required Canopy Trees figure on Sheet 5L to reflect 11,270 as being 50%of 22,540.

These comments are related to the "Crossing" section of the Domestic Water Design Guidelines, which is on page 11 of that section, as well as the "Crossing" section of the Sanitary Sewer Design Guidelines, which is on page 8 of that section. The proposed below grade crossing of creeks does require a minimum cover, steel encasement, capped and sealed, etc. Please revise these proposed crossing. As mentioned on the original comments one alternative may be to move the mains inside of and above the proposed box culvert to avoid the encasement requirement and provide additional protection during large storm events. Thanks -Josh Norton From: Josh Norton To: Harris, Chris Date: 7/3/2008 1:36:13 PM Subject: 2818 Place Phase 2 - ZBA Variance Chris, Here are the comments from Alan regarding the ZBA Variance Request. Some comments may be more of a formality, in order to gather all the information for the ZBA process. Please address the comments and re-submit with your next site plan / development permit submittal. *Please verify that the floodplain/floodway elevations illustrated on the plans match those of the most recent LOMR. *Did the most recent LOMR take into account the full build out of both Phases 1 and 2? Do the assumptions made with the LOMR regarding full build out of Phase 1 and 2 match those that are now being proposed? Did the LOMR take into account any or all fill that has been done or will be done with this project? *Aside from the proposed box culverts, does the Zero Rise Study take into account all fill, retaining walls etc. associated with the site plan *Please delineate the floodplain/floodway pre and post throughout Phase 2. *Please demonstrate that all criteria required for granting a variance has been addressed. This criteria can be found in the City's Flood Hazard Protection Ordinance, Section 6: Variances. The City's Flood Hazard Protection Ordinance can be found in Chapter 13 of the City's Code of Ordinances. *Why was the interpolated cross sections removed? *Why was the geometry/topo data updated? *It appears that there are several large high bank section throughout this project. Please verify that these locations have been analyzed regarding needed erosion control and bank stabilization. *Please verify that all proposed retaining walls are outside of public utility easements. Please identify any and all locations where public utilities penetrate retaining walls. If so, please identify the encasement or appropriate utility protection. *Have the velocities at each cross section been reviewed to verify that the appropriate erosion control is being proposed. For example, Cross Section 4207 with a velocity of 8.26 fps. (Drainage Guidelines - Section 9, Appendix C, Table C-11) Thanks -Josh Norton >>> < Chris.Harris@kimley-horn.com > 2/24/2009 2:13 PM >>> Josh, It looks like we are going to have a fairly significant grading revision that will also include some minor shifting of drive aisles/curbs to accommodate the gas line along the back property line.
