Project: ALLEN HONDA PRE-OWNED SALES STORE-SITE PLAN (0-176)
This review has been stopped. Because some of the following comments may
affect site layout and adequate fire coverage is not shown, staff has stopped this
review and will perform a full site plan review of the next submittal. The following
comments are not intended to reflect a complete review, but are items staff has
noted thus far.
PLANNING
1. In C-1, the rear setback is 15'. Please show setback lines and that the
office building meets those setbacks.
2. Please show the ownership of all abutting parcels.
3. Please show the 12" water line as extending across the entire length of
the property.
4. What is the line above "6" SAN SWR" indicating?
5. Please describe the line on which the water valve is at the front of the
property.
6. Please show the electric lines to, through, and next to the property.
7. What does the "0" with the line through it symbolize? (See the east
corner of the property and along the frontage). What is the line these
symbols are on?
8. Please add the missing stripe between the two parking spaces on the
southwest property line.
9. Please add a note to all handicap-accessibility related details that the item
will meet ANSI standards.
10. The end island in the north corner of the property needs to be landscaped,
or set with decorative pavers, stamped dyed concrete, or other decorative
materials as approved.
11. To discourage use of the space as parking (which would inhibit their
purpose), please reduce the depth of the turnarounds to 4'.
12. Southwest Parkway is classified as a minor arterial on the City's
Thoroughfare Plan. As such, driveways with access onto it are required to
have a throat length of 40'. Please make this adjustment and call the
length out.
13. Will there be a gate to close off the lot after hours? If so, please show its
location and a detail.
14. For safety reasons, the Southwest Parkway curb cuts radii should include
the ramps and sidewalks-i.e., the plan drawing should reflect what is
presented in detail #5.
15. Please call out more of the topographic lines in the area of the detention
pond.
16. Only 300' of hose will be laid from a fire truck. From that point, the spray
from the hose can go to 150'. The project needs to show adequate fire
protection.

17. The back of the southwest parking row needs to be striped for that drive to
be considered a fire lane.
18. Please show fire lane signage and striping detail.
19. Landscaping points are determined by total site area (30 points per 1000
sq. ft.). Please recalculate the required points and adjust the plan
accordingly.
20. Every project must expend a minimum of 50% of its point total on canopy
trees.
21. As landscaping elements are assigned points based upon their caliper or
gallon sizes, the sizes need to be listed with their plantings.
22. Scientific names of plantings need to be listed with common names.
23. Three crepe myrtles along the rear property line are over a sanitary sewer
line. These need to be located to one side or other of the line.
24. What is the brick pattern at the front of the property indicating?
25. On note #11, please add that irrigation will be approved prior to C.O.
