STAFF REVIEW COMMENTS NO. 1
Project: CHAMPIONS ON LUTHER ST (SP) — 02 -217
This review has been stopped. It has been determined that some of the following
staff comments have the potential to alter the site layout. A complete review was not
made of this plan. Staff will make a complete review of the next submittal.
PLANNING
1. Development must occur within the limits of the project's property lines. Even if the
existing private street was an access easement, staff has determined that in the
interest of safe circulation, parking would not be allowed directly off of this drive.
2. Please show distances to all opposite and adjacent curb cuts.
3. The required distance between adjacent curb cuts is 185 feet.
4. Please show ownership and legal description of all abutting parcels.
5. If other areas will be owned and used with this property this area will need to be
included in project area, affecting landscaping /streetscaping requirements.
6. Please clarify Note #7.
7. All water meters must be within the PUE.
8. Where is Luther Village Drive noted in Note #24?
9. If patios in the rear of the property will be in the setback line they cannot be covered.
However the rear setback line is 20', not 25' feet as show on the plan.
10. Please show handicapped parking requirement and show locations of these spaces
on the plan.
11. End islands will be required at the end of each parking isle. A grassy area in front of
a unit will work for this requirement, however sidewalks or paved areas will not.
12. Some units look like there is insufficient maneuvering space in the spaces closest to
the units. Turnarounds may be necessary.
13. Champion Circle appears to be a drive aisle, not a private street. Please remove
the street designation unless a minimum of 50 ft. of ROW is being dedicated.
14.This site will require three dumpsters.
15.As previously discussed, parking will not be allowed in the proposed detention area.
16. If parking is provided behind a building, sidewalks should be provided from the
parking area to the building.
17. Please show in more detail what is being provided in the amenity area.
18. Landscaping must be reasonably distributed throughout the site.

ENGINEERING
1. The proposed driveway connection onto Luther Street will be allowed without a
separate variance. Based on the difference between the actual and ultimate
classifications, the existing drainage infrastructure, and the layout of the site, I am
comfortable in granting a waiver to the minimum for such a small amount.
2. The existing private drive aisle serving the fraternity house will need to be upgraded
to meet minimum residential street standards. The existing drive was constructed
solely to meet the needs of the current fraternity house development, and not to
meet the access needs addressed in the exchange warranty deed reservations.
The "street" must be extended to the intersection of the site drive aisle. The existing
drive will be sufficient after that point.
3. Concerning Note 23. Lay -down curbs are principally for areas where driveway
locations are not planned out. Where curb locations are known, the standard curb
will be required.
