Replat
Revise the 30' building line adjacent to Freeport Parkway to be located from the revised
property line after the 20' dedication, not prior.
Revise Street name "Freeway Parkway" to read "Freeport Parkway".
Provide City Secretary Signature Block. (Attached)
Revise Utility Signature Block to eliminate reference to Lone Star Gas, gas service is
now provided by TXU Electric & Gas.
Provide actual dimensions of Freeport Parkway Right-of-way and eliminate notation
"variable".
Replat shows Block 1 & 2, but also indicates property lines further subdividing both
blocks into (2) two separate lots. Block 1 can not be subdivided in this manner,
according to the design shown on the Site Plan. These property lines appear to be
existing, but if they are to be removed from the plat, they must be denoted as such.
Label all easements on the subject site. As shown, all easement labels are located off-site,
making it difficult to interpret.
Adjust line weight of easements, property line, and fire lanes on Block 1, to increase
legibility.
All signs located within the Fire Lane shall be removed and must be noted as such on the
plat.
Site Plan
1. Revise location map to more clearly show site and bordering streets.
2. Remove tree stamps from site plan sheet; all landscaping should be shown on the
landscape plan only.
3. Revise widths of proposed sidewalks. The sidewalk along Hammond should measure 4'
in width and the sidewalks along Freeport and Bums should measure 5' in width.
4. No electrical equipment (transformers, generators, etc.) is shown on the plan. This must
be indicated on the plan and properly screened or will not be permitted.
5. Revise notations Parcel 1 and II on buildings. As proposed, the site plan covers only one
parcel; buildings should be labeled Building 1 & II.

Revise site plan to correctly show the number of spaces per row on all rows containing
the handicapped spaces. All rows with handicapped spaces are incorrectly labeled with
one additional space, counting the access aisle between handicapped spaces as a space.

and 6' on landscape plan.

"Screen".

are provided, not 446 spaces.
Per Section 31-3 (Off-Street Loading) of the zoning ordinance, the Alternate Truck Court
Layout is not in compliance with the zoning ordinance. One loading space shall be
provided per 20,000 square feet of space, requiring 8 loading spaces. This plan
eliminates all loading spaces.
Indicate if any attached signs are proposed and where they will be placed on the building.
Revise height of proposed monument sign; height can not exceed 6' with a total max.
area of 60 sq. ft. Indicate the proposed colors of materials and font.
Revise building elevations (Sheet A4.0) to show the proposed colors of building wall
materials, windows, mullions, and overhead doors.
As proposed, building elevations only indicate the elevations of one building, not both.
Provide a note on the elevations indicating that the elevations are reversed for Building I
and II.
The proposed 10' high screening walls must appear to be an extension of the building
wall and shall be incorporated into the design of the building with like materials, colors,

incorrectly shown as Freeport and Freeport is incorrectly shown as Bethel)
Revise Landscape Requirements Table and label Open Space category as Non-Vehicular

Revise inconsistencies between Plant List and Landscape Requirements Table on Sheet
