Hugo Gardens Page 8 is generally supportive of the locations. However, the main access at Upper 1461n should be redesigned to flatten the street alignment at this entrance to better align with the existing street. No parking is allowed on private drives. The drives must comply with the City's private drive standards, which may include signage to distinguish the private drive from the public streets. The plans must comply with fire department access and turn around requirements. A fire turning radius was provided but must be updated to show compliance in the southeast portion of the site.

We hope to have the details finalized before the City Council reviews this application. The plans do show construction of Finale Avenue as part of the developer's plan set, but do not show construction of 1471" Street. The plans must be revised to show Finale Avenue as a 32-foot wide street, which will accommodate parking on the east side of the street.. This parking would serve Lion's Park and could provide additional guest parking for the apartments on the northeast part of the site where no conveniently located guest
