The Honorable Chairman and Planning Commission August 9, 2001 Page Two • A retaining wall is being shown on the north end of the property varying in height from 0 to 7 feet. It appears there is an error in the top and bottom elevation of the retaining wall indicating that both are at a 908, approximately 40 feet from the west end of the wall. • We suggest that any retaining wall over five feet high be terraced or fenced. • It appears that the west end of the wall will need to be extended around the comer to tie into an existing 908.5 contour. Extending the wall around the comer may also allow for a higher irregular berm on the west end of the property. • No contours or elevations are shown for the irregular berm on the west end of the site. Contours should be shown to indicate the proposed slopes and height. • The northeast comer of the parking lot slopes to the west to CB No. 7 at greater than 10 %. We believe that this comer of the parking lot should be lowered. This lowering would also decrease the amount of runoff from the parking lot onto Country Drive. • The drainage and utility plan indicates a 2 -inch copper service and an existing sanitary service extended to the building. Our records indicate that there is a 6- inch PVC sanitary stub to the property along with a 6 -inch DIP water line for fire protection and a 1.5 -inch copper line for potable water service. There are also no services onto the property from Conduit Street. • The site plan on page C -1 of the plans illustrates that truck traffic can traverse the site. It does appear, however, that when cars are parked in the very northwest comer of the property access to the loading dock with a truck may be difficult. • As stated previously, the building and parking layout shown on the site plan indicate truck traffic can navigate the site. However, the building and parking layout on the drainage and utility plan does not match that shown on the site plan Clarification as to which layout is correct should be given and corrections made to the incorrect layout. • A total of 66 parking stalls are shown on both the site plan and drainage and utility plan. State regulations require three handicap spaces of which one must be van accessible. Three handicap spaces are shown on the plan, and therefore, meet the state regulations. If you have any questions regarding these comments, please call. Sincerely, Howard R. Green Company Lee Elfenng Project Engineer LE:mw owarc O:\PROJt807581JWtr -080901 - Planning Co Page 25 any
