Submittal with a Conditional Use Permit Application should be a site plan not a preliminary plat. In the predevelopment meeting it was determined that only a Conditional Use Permit and a Final Plat would be required for this site. The following comments do not constitute a complete site plan review. 1. Both sheets need to show a north arrow, if you choose to resubmit with information on two sheets. 2. Clearly label the property lines on both sheets. 3. Label fire hydrant on both sheets. 4. Scale needs to be a standard engineering scale. Usually not greater than 1:100. Not 1":1 mile as on the sheet prepared by Orr. The sheet prepared by Fontaine has 2 different scales shown. 1:15 is not a standard _ scale. ~5. i Show landscape reserve and proposed landscaping plan. 1 ~r~~a. ~',;~~"' C~~ 6.

With the subject property's close proximity to such a prominent intersection it is anticipated that the Planning and Zoning Commission will be interested in the screening and the aesthetics of the property. 18. Building permits will not be issued until property is final platted.

The proposed landscaping does not meet the ordinance for required landscaping or streetscaping. Provide landscaping legend showing required landscaping and streetscaping points and the number and type of plants proposed to meet those requirements. 50% of landscaping points must be canopy trees. streetscaping is required along Arrington Road to minor arterial standards. If the vault shown along Greens Prairie is above ground, it should be screened. Irrigation is required for all new plantings. 6. Show the building setbacks.

Gravel drives are not permitted per ordinance. 13. The driveway ordinance allows the City Engineer (or his designee) to "override the recommended dimensions set forth in this policy if warranted by specific traffic conditions." Variances to the surface material and width are being allowed, because of the low frequency of use (one pick-up size maintenance truck once a day) and because the public will not have access to the site. Commercial drives should be 24 - 36 feet wide per ordinance; a width of 16 feet will be permitted in this instance. Concrete is usually the required material; here asphalt will be permitted. The location of the driveway will need to meet adjacent driveway spacing requirements for a collector, which is 185 feet from Greens Prairie Road. 15. Chain link with wooden slats is not considered screening fencing, but it will be up to the Commission to decide if full screening fencing will be required. 19. In the upper left-hand corner the plan erroneously states that the property is .036 acres not .36 acres. J:\PZTEXT\PZ03297.DOC Page 1 of 1 Note: If in the future, the use of the Fire Department building changes and the truck access point is removed from Greens Prairie Road, the site will need to fully comply with the driveway ordinance.
