We issued comments accordingly on 11/1/12. The site plan submitted was not to scale. Our office has requested engineered construction plans,including a grading and drainage plan,in order to fully review the project and ensure there are no negative impacts to the surrounding properties or right-of-way. The site plan indicates three parallel parking spaces along the alley. Per the site plan, the property only has 65-feet fronting the alley, and parallel parking generally requires 22-25 feet for maneuvering. Three parking spaces would require between 66 and 75-feet,in addition to any buffering required. The developer has indicated a rain garden on the site plan for stonnwater quality and detention. Since this is in excess of the stormwater standards for this size site, the Engineering Department appreciates the developer's desire to construct this stormwater improvement. McDonald's The developer has made changes to the south entrance to the site,per concerns from the Engineering Department. While the entrance is not ideal,the changes that have been made are sufficient for the Engineering Department to approve the entrance location. The developer has not submitted all items necessary to fully review the stormwater drainage and water quality for this project. However, the Engineering Department has no issues with the project moving forward,conditional upon the developer addressing any issues that may arise as additional stonnwater details are provided to the Department during the construction plan review process. 146th and Gray Rezone The Engineering Department has not received any new submittals for this project. Kunkle Family Minor Subdivision The Department has requested a buffer strip in lieu of stonnwater detention and stormwater quality requirements. The buffer strip shall include the entire extent of the floodplain or the regulated drain easement,whichever is greater, plus an additional 10-feet. This has not been indicated on the most recent primary plat submitted to the Engineering Department. A 20-foot easement shall be indicated on the plat,centered on the property line between Lots 1 and 2,per the Subdivision Control Ordinance. Mr.Kunkle has submitted an acceptable draft commitment for the required alternative transportation path. We will work with him to finalize this commitment. *Ultimate Car Wash Modifications The Engineering Department has not received construction plans for full review of this project. A site plan was submitted via email.

Carmel Drive Amanda and Gary, I got a set of plans and a letter today stating that further investigation is being done to confirm downstream of the existing storm drain. It doesn't appear that there is a whole lot going on with this, and I only calculate about 7,500 square feet of disturbance. Have there been discussions internally on this one? I'm not sure I even really need to see anything else. Please advise. G Gregory J. Ilko, P.E.

Subject: RE: Ultimate Carwash Modification Plans review Hi, Corey—here are some quick review comments: 1. The carvac enclosures need to be at least a 5-ft setback from the side property line. 2. The loss of green space and trees will have to be mitigated elsewhere on site, with the planting of additional trees and shrubs. The City Forester will most likely be contacting you about this and what he wants to see where. 3. Rachel Boone, the sign permits officer,will review the signage on Monday. We will also need more detail on the dimensions of all those internal traffic directional signs,to make sure that they are not more that 3 sq ft in area, nor greater than 3-ft tall.
