LANDSCAPING/STREETSCAPING/BUFFER 1. The tree noted as not existing' is required to meet minimum point requirements for the site. This tree will need to be installed. Also, the shrubs and other vegetation currently in place around the existing building edge that will be removed to allow for the expansion should be relocated and shown on the revised plan as proposed landscaping. This landscaping can be shown on the site plan if preferred. If the proposed landscaping is shown on the site plan, the landscape plan (LP.01) can be removed from the set. RESPONSE: The proposed landscaping has been shown on the site plan as well as a note for the contractor to refer to the existing landscape plan (LP.01) for referral to all pertinent landscape details. 2. 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, swales and drainage areas, the parking lot setback, rights-of-way, and adjacent property disturbed during construction. RESPONSE: This note has been added. MISCELLANEOUS 1. Irrigation system must be protected by 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. RESPONSE: This note has been added. 2. All BackFlow devices must be installed and tested upon installation as per City Ordinance 2394. RESPONSE: This note has been added. 2 ENGINEERING COMMENTS NO. 1 ,1 Please show existing easements on the Site plan. If there's no existing easement for the water main, please provide a minimum of 15' easement by plat or separate instrument. FYI... A LOC and CO will not be issued until easements have been filed. RESPONSE: The existing easements have been shown with the volume and page. We have attached a copy of the filed replat that shows the easements. Show the existing fire flow requirement + building type, and the proposed building type and fire flow requirements on the site plan. RESPONSE: The existing and proposed building types and fire flow requirements have been added to the site plan. Please provide a fire flow report showing that the existing fire hydrants are still sufficient for the additional fire flow requirement from the addition of the building expansion. An amending or addendum report from the existing report would suffice. RESPONSE: See the attached fire flow addendum letter. 4. Provide a legend table on the site plan. RESPONSE: A legend has been added. ,,F) Are the circle W symbols water meters? Are those existing or proposed? Please show the existing layout by the fire hydrant as shown by the "As-Built" and specify if any changes are being made in that area since the "As-Built" and site plan are not corresponding. RESPONSE: The water meter, irrigation meter, fire hydrant and valve symbols have been changed to what was shown on the as-builts. These are all existing and the project is capturing the existing 6" fire line and 2.5" waterline to take these lines internal to the building. 4. There are two FEMA firm panel corresponding with this site. Please use both firm panels when determining if the property is in floodplain. FYI... A small portion at the northing property boundary appears to be in floodplain according to GIS. RESPONSE: The notes have been modified to reflect both panels and that a portion of Lot 13 has floodplain on it. The Demolition plan is showing a 4" line to be abandoned. Please show where this line is tying into. There's no new 4" service line proposed on the site plan. Is the 4" line not needed anymore for the building to operate? 3 RESPONSE: The 4" line is for the existing remote FDC that is not needed because of the FDC will now be attached to the building as shown on the site plan. Z. Please re-label the Demolition plan to Demolition & Erosion Control Plan. RESPONSE: This sheet has been relabeled. ,9. (Grading Plan) A 2% grade is shown to be graded towards the proposed building expansion. B/C elevations shows the grading the opposite direction. See also the 1% grade by the proposed parking. RESPONSE: The arrow shown is not a representation of flow direction. The arrow is showing the grade direction. So the 2% grade means we are climbing in the direction of the arrow. Autocad labeling uses +/- symbols to indicate how to read a grade arrow. FIRE 1. No comment at this time. RESPONSE: Thank you. SANITATION 1. Sanitation is ok with this project. RESPONSE: Thank you.
