Modify the following items on the Site Plan and Landscape Plan:
· Increase line weight of property lines to increase legibility.
· Shade or hatch the subject site on the vicinity map.
· Omit Tabulations notation to the left of the Landscape Requirements on site
plan sheet.
· Indicate to staff that the proposed EIFS shown on the south screen wall and
any other non-masonry building materials do not reduce the required masonry
exterior below the required 80%. See Section 25-5 of the zoning ordinance.
· Revise Plant Schedule to group together proposed trees.
Per Section 31-6 (18) of the zoning ordinance, re-evaluate required parking
calculations according to the specific use within this building. Section 31-6 (18)
requires one space per employee per maximum shift plus space for all trucks and
other vehicles utilized as part of the use, but not less than one space per 1,000
square feet. Revise parking calculations as necessary and clearly indicate the
anticipated number of employees and if any additional vehicles, other than those
utilizing the loading docks, will be present on site.
Explain the purpose of the grass strip located between two rows of parking at the
northwest comer of the site? If this area is necessary to meet the landscape area
requirement, please provide elsewhere on site.
Staff recommends that the filter/trash compactor area be relocated to the south
side of the building or within the confines of the building and away from the
adjacent public street and nearby less intensive uses.
In any event, please provide additional information on the proposed exterior
filter/trash compactor area:
· Indicate how this area will be screened from view-Extension of building wall?
· Indicate the height to the top of the filter.
· Indicate the manner in which the noise generated by fans will be mitigated.
· Better define the elevations to show dimensions, color, and building lines
beyond.

Indicate compliance with Condition #12 of prior Site Plan approval (April 11,
2000) "The gas valve on the northeast comer of the property be screened from
visibility from adjacent rights-of-way." If the gas valve is above grade, it is not
adequately screened.
According to the recent re-plat of the site approved by City Council on April 11,
2000, the 26' T.P. & L. Easement running through the middle of the property was
to be abandoned. Please indicate whether this easement has been abandoned.
Handicapped spaces are considered part of the required parking and not separate;
the total number of parking spaces on the site plan sheet should be modified to
include the 7 handicapped parking spaces.
When calculating the amount of required parking and landscaping always round
up to the nearest whole number. As currently shown, the required amount of trees
and parking is incorrect and should be increased.
