ALLSIZE STORAGE
April 5, 2004
The following is a response to the city review comment letter dated March 17, 2004 for
the ALLSIZE STORAGE.
PLANNING
1. Please provide a list of building materials for all facades that are visible from or
roughly visible from any public right -of -way. This is a minimum submittal
requirement for all commercial site plans.
The building materials are listed on the architectural plans. The owner
has volunteered to submit samples of the materials if needed.
2. You may not extend a fence across the access easement. This must remain open
for the adjacent properly owners to access their property.
The fence has been removed from the access easement.
3. A copy of the "Prop. 30' Access Easement" must be submitted to our department
before the site plan may be stamped approved.
A copy of the field note description and exhibit of this easement is
attached
4. Please provide right -of -way width for Texas Avenue on the site plan.
The site plan has been updated to show this.
5. Please add to the sliding gate note that there is at least a 20' foot clear space for
fire entrance.
The site plan has been updated to show this.
LANDSCAPING /STREETSCAPINGBUFFER
1. Streetscape is required along both Texas Avenue and the East Bypass Frontage
Road. Please provide additional points and calculations.
Additional points and calculations have been added to the site plan.

2. If phase lines are not shown for this project, all landscape must be installed with
this portion of the development. If you wish to count any existing trees toward
your landscape points, you must show the location and size of those trees and
provide detail that shows that the barricade is outside of the drip line for those
trees.
Phase lines are not shown for this project. Existing trees that are to be
counted toward the required point total have been located on the site plan.
Tree protection will be provided for the existing trees. A detail has been
added to the site plan.
3. Any existing trees that will be counted toward your buffer requirement cannot
also be counted toward landscape points. Please show all existing trees to meet
your buffer requirement. The buffer requirement between commercial property
and residential is a wall and 15', a fence and 30', or 45'. If the vegetation is
100% opaque, then the wall or fence is not required. Photos may be required to
verify this.
Mr. Jim Jett has met with Jennifer Prochazka to discuss this issue. I
understand that shee has been provided an aerial photograph and
snapshots taken on -site.
4. Please add to Landscape Note #1 that the irrigation plan must also be approved by
our department prior to C.O..
This note has been added to the site plan.
ENGINEERING
1. As discussed, TxDOT may have issues with the driveway locations. Comments
will be forwarded as soon as received.
Carol Cotter has informed us that TxDOT made no comments. However,
if any work is to be performed on the existing driveways, TxDOT will not
approve a permit since the driveways do not meet current access
regulations.
2. Provide water design report.
The water design report is attached.

3. Show location of irrigation meter. Domestic and irrigation meters need to be
within a PUE or ROW.
The domestic and irrigation meters have been shown in the 20' PUE near
the proposed gate.
4. Verify diameter of water line along Texas Avenue. I show an 8" water line.
We cannot verify that this water line is either a 6" or an 8". The City
maps indicate 6" and 8" diameter for the line along Texas Avenue. We
assumed it to be a 6" in the water design report in order to be
conservative.
5. Please add note that water and sewer construction shall be in accordance with the
BCS Unified Design Guidelines and Construction Specifications.
A note has been added to the site plan.
6. Verify the width of the existing electric easement along the northwest property
boundary. I show a 25' wide electric easement and PUE.
The existing electrical easement has been determined to be a 10' easement
as shown on the site plan.
ELECTRICAL
1. Developer installs conduit per city specs and design.
Electrical infrastructure installation will comply with this requirement.

PLANNING
1. Three (3) canopy trees are required within the first 50 feet along Texas
Avenue to meet the streetscaping requirement. Two (2) non - canopy trees
may be substituted for a canopy tree.
2. Since a buffer wall /fence was not provided for on the plan, I will assume that
the vegetation is 100% opaque at the 40' mark. If this is the case, please
provide a note on the plan that states that the buffer will be 100% opaque
along the entire length of the property line prior to C.O. (if there are a couple
of places that are not opaque, additional plantings, such as 6' shrubs, will be
required to fill in the "gaps ").
3. No more than 40% of the exterior building materials may include metal panels
if the facade is roughly visible to a public right -of -way. The southwestern
facade (or left) of building D and the northeastern facade (or right) of building
E do not meet these requirements.
