Please ref. Final Site Plan checklist for plan reviewers (FSP), and consider reference standards:
1. Protect power /light poles located on (marked) line separating rows of parking spaces with bumper blocks,
similar to 18' L parking spaces adjacent to 5' sidewalk (ACDSM, pg. 17). Please note that edge of light
pole is equivalent to face of curb in ACDSM diagram. Depth of parking space must be 16' measured from
face of bumper block. This does not appear to be the case (LOR#2, sheet 1). Design should consider pole
base dimension and may require revised drive aisle width to preserve one parking space (equipped with
bumper block), but not both. If drive aisle width is reduced to 24', it appears one space could provide 16'
depth, with 2' between face of bumper block and face of light pole. Engineering will approve design that
meets ACDSM guidance.
2. Protect power /light poles located in parking spaces with bollards at four corners, and stripe /mark /sign any
parking space `No parking' if a bollard restricts access by any amount. That is, if vehicles do not have 9'
clear width directly in front of a space, that space should be striped `No parking.' (18-4.12.16.d; proposal
does not `preserve the required dimensions' of at least three spaces)
3. Ensure Waste Management vehicles need not reverse a significant distance before switching to forward
drive (100' is significant).
4. Sheet 9: Note reads `Original plan except one pole has ben removed.' It appears two poles have been
removed. Please clarify. Also, item 7.c., below.
5. A block wall appears to be installed along phase line. Please depict wall on LOR#2. If wall height exceeds
3', it requires a building permit. Please confirm wall height, and if > 3', coordinate any inspection
requirements with County building inspections.
6. `All employee and customer parking areas south of buildings should be protected by curbed islands.' (FSP,
Parking and Circulation, item 5). Revise design to provide curbed islands.
Minimum 3' width of curbed islands (FSP, Parking and Circulation, item 6).
7. LOR#2, Sheet 1 /Additional:
a. Label TMP 04500-00-00-112BO to south (adjacent parcel); provide deed bk.-pg. ref. /owner name.
b. Label TMP 04500-00-00-068CO to north (adjacent parcel); provide deed bk.-pg. ref. /owner name.
c. If LP located in 3. F wide space between eastern -most loading space and western -most customer
parking space is to be removed, provide curb island between customer parking and loading space.
If LP is not removed at this location, a curb island may still provide effective protection for LP
base (if island poured around base). Bollards may intrude on western -most customer parking
space, and thereby eliminate this parking space.
8. Meaning of `SP' and `R' is ambiguous. (Ref. phase line.) Please provide an abbreviation guide.
