1. The proposed driveway exiting onto SH 121 will need
approval from TxDOT.
2. A drainage easement indicated on the west side of
the property on the site plan is not shown on the plat
and does not seem to be necessary.
See additional comments on the plat for this case.
- Relocate fire lane easement on S side of building out
of the 'collapse zone'. Move to the other aisle.
- Relocate fire hydrants on S side to correspond to the
new fire lane location.
- Indicate turning radii for fire lane - 30' inside, 54'
outside
- Indicate fire department connection (FDC) location.
FDC must be detached from building, within 50' of a fire
hydrant, on same side of the street/fire lane as the fire
hydrant.
Preliminary Water and Wastewater
- Three (3) separate water feeds to the building are not
necessary.
- "New 8~inch Fire Service" on W side will have to be
hydraulically calculated...may need to provide 12-inch
service from State Hwy. 121 to the New Fire Service,
then reduce to 8-inch.
- Connect the 8-inch water lines on the S side of
building.

Comments
1) A tree removal permit will be required prior to removal
of any protected trees on this site.
2) Tree mitigation tabulations on sheet L1.00 are
incorrect.
3) Tree survey is incorrect:
-tree # 305 is not a protected tree.
-tree #
384,385,386,387,388,389,390,391,392,393,394,402,40
3,404,405, &406 are not on this property and
should not appear on the tree survey, or figure into the
tree mitigation process.
-tree #
66,196,197,198,200,201,239,240,242,243,255,331,332,
340, & 348 must be identified on the tree survey to
determine if they are a protected tree.
4) Spacing of the trees in the parking lot islands on the
East & West side of the building is too tight. Overstory
trees need a minimum spacing of 20'. Need to
eliminate (1) tree per island.
5) Spacing of eastern red cedars on the West side of
the parking lot is too tight. Minimum spacing for
eastern red cedar is 15', not 10'. Recommend breaking
up the continuous row of eastern red cedar by mixing
in other screening materials such as wax myrtle or
nellie r. stevens hollies. It will be extremely difficult to
maintain a continuous row of 150+ trees without
having gaps down the road. Eastern red cedar is not
sold by the caliper inch in the numery industry, it's
sold by the height of the tree. If the eastern red cedars
are mitigated, each one wil~ need to be field
measured to assure that they are 3" DBH. The cost
of these trees will be very high. It will be difficult to get
this size eastern red cedar to get established.
6) Should consider using 6" caliper trees on this project
to offset having to write such a large check for tree
mitigation. The Staples development just South of this
project installed all 6" DBH trees to get tree
retribution numbers to a more managable cost.

Site Plan
1. Add dimensions to all property lines.
2. Add and correctly label ail easements as shown on
the plat. There are inconsistencies with the locations
and types of easements along western and southern
property lines.
3. Extend the screening walls perpendicular to loading
area thru the landscape area, to the fire lane.
4. There are islands in the parking lots which are
substandard in size.
5. Add a note to the site plan that all future parking areas
will meet all the requirements of the landscape
ordinance.
6. Need to provide a separate document establihsing
the proposed mutual access along the east side of the
property.
7. If a monument sign is proposed, then location, size,
materials, etc. need to be indicated.
8. Vicinity Map - the street to the north of the subject
property is Canyon Drive not Corporate Park.

Landscape Plan
1. The PLANT LIST indicates 454 trees being provided
on site: 171 - 4" caliper and 183 - 3" caliper for a total of
454 trees, however in the LANDSCAPE TABULATIONS,
under SUMMARY indicates 271 - 3" required and 271 -
4" trees provided, need to include the additional 183-3"
caliper trees being provided so that the totals will
match,
2. Along the western property line the 116 trees are
labeled as CE, but the symbol is for ERC - it is
assumed that the symbol is correct and the label
incorrect.
3. The landscaped area east of the western property
line is labeled as ERC, - and the symbol is for CE,
again, it is assumed that the symbol is correct and the
label is incorrect.
4. Per Sec. 12-34-8. Minimum requirements for
off-street parking and vehicular use areas; All off-street
parking, loading and vehicular use areas, including
driveway pavement, shall also be screened from all
abutting properties and/or public rights-of-way by a wall,
fence, hedge, berm or other durable landscape barrier.
This barrier is not indicated on the north, east or west
prepert¥ lines.
5. Review the labeling and the tree symbols along the
Sandy Lake frontage, there appears to be
inconsistencies, including but not limited to a random
3- LO note.
6. Show location of monument sign, if any.
7. Indicate existing and proposed easements.
8. Add a note to the site plan that all future parking areas
will meet all the requirements of the landscape
ordinance.
ELEVATIONS
1. This site is currently extremely visible from north and
southbound S.H. 121 and will always be visible from
Sandy Lake Road. This building is proposed to have
540 feet of frontage on Sandy Lake, and 53-55 dock
doors within 1120 linear feet along the east and west
elevations. The view of this building will be somewhat
obscured by the existing and proposed trees, however,
compliance with the following provision of the Light
Industrial District regulation must be demonstrated.
"Where walls exceed 100 feet in length, additional
architectural accents must be included to break up the
expanse of the wall. These may include items such as
reveals, windows, and wall articulations, among
others".
2. Submit a color board at the DRC meeting, color
renderings may also be helpful.
3. Correct leader line to clearstory windows.
