AT&T 96th Street Maintenance Building and Site Work
To Whom It May Concern:
This letter is the item-by-item written response to address the specific comments listed in the plan review with a completed
date of 08/05/2020 regarding the above referenced project. The format of the response will be as follows: We will indicate
the original comment numbered as you have in your comment letter followed by the response in bold.
A-50002 - Rachel Keesling
Elevation Colors
1. Please provide info on what colors the building will be. A photo of color swatches or a materials sample sheet would
work.
Response: Please see attached rendering on sheet A-50002.
Bollards
2. What color will the bollards be?
Response: Bollards will be hazard yellow.
Accessory Building Height
3. Accessory buildings are limited to 18’ tall. This is 2’ taller than at 20’. Please reduce the height of the building.
Another option would be to request a zoning waiver for the extra 2’, which is 10% over. Zoning waivers are allowed
to be requested up to 35%.
Response: The structural roof panel at the peak is 20’-10” above the slab. The additional height is required
to accommodate the vehicle lifts to be installed inside the building. A waiver has been requested. The
assigned docket number is PZ-2020-00118 ZW.

C-10001 – Rachel Keesling
Sidewalk Removal
1. Why is this sidewalk being removed?
Response: The east end of the sidewalk is being removed and replaced to provide an ADA accessible ramp.
The location of Keynote 13 has been updated to accurately depict this.
Existing Bushes/Trees
2. On the aerial photo for this site, there appears to be large trees or bushes along the edge of the pavement. Will
these be remaining in the areas not effected? Please show these on the demo plan if they are proposed to be
removed.
Response: The existing shrubs are to be removed. Keynote 14 has been added to C-10001 calling for shrub
removal along the existing pavement.
C-20001 Daren Mindham
Tree Preservation Fencing
1. Please put up tree preservation fencing around all existing wooded areas and the trees in the front.
Response: Tree preservation has been included along the east wooded area and the trees in the front of the
property. Please see sheets C-10001 and L-10001.
Landscape Plan
2. Please submit a landscape plan for this project. I have made notes on this sheet for the requirements. I have
uploaded tree planting details for your use in the correspondence folder.
Response: A Landscape Plan and planting details have been included in the Plan Set. Please see sheets L-
10001 and L-20001.
Western Perimeter Bufferyard
3. Please plant 4 shade trees and 10 shrubs per 100 linear feet per the UDO. 3 shrubs can equal 1 shade tree. I would
recommend planting 5 shade trees in this area to meet the requirement. Hybrid elm would be a good choice.
Response: Planting in the Western Perimeter Bufferyard has been provided. Please see sheet L-10001.
Northern Perimeter Bufferyard
4. Please plant 4 shade trees and 10 shrubs per 100 linear feet per the UDO. 12 shade trees and 30 shrubs would be
fine. I would recommend 12 shade trees and planting the area in prairie grasses and making the area a ‘no mow’
area would also meet this requirement for me. This area could become a wooded line like the one on the east
perimeter.
Response: Planting in the Northern Perimeter Bufferyard has been provided. Please see sheet L-10001.

Southern Perimeter Bufferyard
5. 6 shade trees, 1 ornamental tree and 15 shrubs per 100 linear feet is required. Per the UDO, the other 3 existing
trees can count toward the requirement adjacent to the new parking there. These trees should be placed back away
from the power lines as much as possible. 9 shade trees, 2 ornamental trees and 25 shrubs will need to be planted
as the far SW corner from GIS doesn’t seem to be wooded like the rest of the eastern border for a 175’ linear
distance. Field verify if needed.
Response: Planting in the Southern Perimeter Bufferyard has been provided. Please see sheet L-10001.
Parking Lot Plantings
6. 1 shade tree and 5 shrubs are required per every 10 parking spaces. I believe there are 75 spaces total for a
landscaping requirement of 7 shade trees and 75 shrubs. Again, I would like to promote more trees. If you can plant
32 (25+7) trees in this cloud area as a reforestation location that would meet the parking lot trees requirement. I
would like to also make this area a no mow area and essentially expand the wooded line from the east to
incorporate these trees. Otherwise, the parking lot trees will need to be scattered around the parking lot and
parking lot islands and bumpouts created. If the impervious surface is not increased by 35%, then this requirement is
not required. Please let me know if that is the case and by what percentage the impervious surface is increased.
Response: The impervious surface area of the parking lot is only increased by 25%. Parking Lot Plantings are
not required.
C-20001 Rachel Keesling
Building Square Footage
7. Please label the building square footage on the site plan.
Response: The square footage of the proposed building has been labeled on the Site Plan sheet C-20001.
Site Details
8. Please add a site detail info box that has the total number of existing parking spaces, number of new parking spaces,
building square footages, impervious parcel coverage (acreage and percent), site acreage, etc.
Response: A Site Information Table has been provided on sheet C-20001.
Sidewalk
9. Where does this sidewalk lead to? I noticed on the demo plan it is shown as being removed. Will it be put back to
have access for this door?
Response: Only the east end of the sidewalk is being removed for ADA accessibility. The existing sidewalk is
now shown. Please see sheet C-20001.

additional structural features shall not be accepted.
Heavy_Duty_TYM-2000_Gate_System_Chain Link_R8 Page 2 of 7 5/30/19
a. Gate track system shall be keyed to interlock into gate frame member
(providing 200% additional strength when compared to weld only keyless
systems). When interlocked with and welded to the "keyed" frame top member,
gate track forms a composite structure.
b. Gate shall have a minimum counterbalance length of 50% opening width which
provides a 36% increase in lateral resistance (when compared to ASTM
minimum of 40% counterbalance). If gate is ever to be automated,
counterbalance section shall be filled with fabric or other specified material.
c. To provide superior structural integrity, intermediate vertical members shall be
used - with spacing between verticals to be less than 50% of the gate frame
height.
d. Entire gate frame (including counterbalance section) shall include 2 adjustable
stainless or galvanized steel cables (minimum 3/16”) per bay to allow complete
gate frame adjustment (maintaining strongest structural square and level
orientation).

the gate in the closed and latched condition only. Typical gate design is
expected to operate satisfactorily in winds up to 30 MPH. Depending on gate
panel infill, winds higher than 30 MPH may cause gate operational problems
(if automated, operator entrapment may trigger; gate panel may not engage
receiver). For sites with higher operational, non-typical, or specified wind
loadings, manufacturer should be advised of the site conditions and a
specifically engineered design will be offered.
D. Certifications:
1. Gate in compliance with ASTM F 2200, Standard Specification for Automated
Vehicular Gate Construction per section 1.02 B.
2. The gate operator shall be in compliance with UL 325 as evidenced by UL listing
label attached to gate operator. See 1.02 A

documented Welding Procedure Specification and Procedure Qualification Record
to insure conformance to the AWS D1.2 welding code. Upon request, Individual
Certificates of Welder Qualification documenting successful completion of the
requirements of the AWS D1.2 code shall also be provided. See 1.02 D.
Heavy_Duty_TYM-2000_Gate_System_Chain Link_R8 Page 3 of 7 5/30/19
4. Manufacturer shall supply gate design performance certification as per section 1.03

5. Gate is to be designed to meet specified ASCE-7 wind load requirements with the
gate in the closed and latched condition only. Typical gate design is expected to
operate satisfactorily in winds up to 30 MPH. Depending on gate panel infill, winds
higher than 30 MPH may cause gate operational problems (operator entrapment
sensing may trigger; gate panel may not engage receiver). For sites with higher
operational, non-typical, or specified wind loadings, manufacturer should be
advised of the site conditions and a specifically engineered design will be offered.
