Mr . Brandau
In response to your phone conversation of April 8, 1988 with Greg
Gammons and a subsequent phone conversation with me on April 11 ,
1988 the following is- a status of the items in question.
1 . Right of way of 50 feet (one-half ) on Range Line Road and 30
feet (one half ) on Gradle Drive verified with Tom Welch , City
Engineer .
2. One handicapped parking space added in northeast parking lot
next to sidewalk entrance to balcony.
C. Drive way widths of 24 feet , 26 feet , 29 feet and 31 feet
coupled with parking space depths of a true 20 feet will allow
for the largest of delivery trucks to maneuver in and out of the
site.
4. North entrance to parking lot off of Range Line Road has
been made right turn only for exiting vehicles. A high
percentage of North bound traffic will enter either by the South
Range Line Road entrance or the Gradle Drive entrance. It is
estimated that South Bound Range Line Road traffic will use the
three entrances equally. Traffic exiting to go North will mainly
use the Gradle Drive exit , depending upon the time of day.
5. Due to the design used in trash trucks and dumpsters a
covered trash enclosure would be difficult and costly to
construct. I will though investigate the veasibility of such a
design.
6. Surrounding zoning and uses is shown on the Site plan.
7. Book of the project for each BZA member and 2 for your Dept.
will be provided. Any changes made in the project will be
updated in the book.
8. Variance will be applied for on location of Range Line Road
sign by Dave Coots.
1
9. Mechanical units on roof will be screened by 42" high
railing and placed so as to be screened from view. The units are
7 foot square and 3 ' 9" high and will be painted slate grey to
blend with the roofing material .
10. The average height of the building to the mid-point of the
roof is less than 35 feet. The maximum height to the mid-point
of the main roof is =3 feet b inches. I will have Dave Coots
address this issue with your dept.
11 . Additional and taller evergreens have been added to
perimeter of parking lot . Spreading yews have been added and the
firebushes eliminated.
12. Light fixtures will be compatible with the City fixtures.
Catalog cuts are included in the book.
13. Ground spot lights are landscaped on new plan.
14. Conversed with Randy Powell today and he had not reviewed
project as of 4/ 11/88. I ' am waiting on his review before making
any suggested changes to the drainage and grading plan.
15. Signage will be of Roman type lettering of cast aluminum
with a gold finish. Maximum letter height will be 18" and
maximum sign area per tenant sign will be 30 square feet as per
sign ordinance. Tenant signage will be submitted for approval as
each tenant space is leased. A catalog cut is included in the
book.
