RE: Response Letter #2 for SDP202100021 Animal Wellness Center Major Site Plan Amendment
Dear Kevin,
Thank you for your review of the major site plan amendment for Animal Wellness Center. This letter
contains responses to County comments dated January 14, 2022.Our responses are as follows:
1. [32.5.2(o)] The Site Plan and Concept Plan reflect a proposed property line that shows a portion
of the property being dedicated to the Right of Way. In order to dedicate land to public right-of-
way, a Special Lot Application must be submitted, reviewed, approved, and recorded prior to
approval of the major amendment. This can be combined with the easement plat mentioned below
in comment 6, provided that all applicable regulations for easement plats (Section 14-208.2) of
the Subdivision Ordinance, and all applicable regulations for Special Lot applications (Section
14-207) are met. Comment stands. Please submit a combination Special Lot and Easement
Plat that shows all ROW adjustments and proposed easements.
RESPONSE: Comment received. The ROW dedication and easement plat will be provided prior
to final site plan approval. The submission is forthcoming.
2. 14.12.13 and 4.12.19] Per applicant comment response letter to the first Site Review Committee
comments, no dumpster pads are shown because "totes will be sufficient." County Code 18-
4.12.13 (e), "each site plan that depicts a commercial or industrial building of 4,000 gross square
feet or more shall provide a dumpster pad that does not impede any required parking or loading
spaces, nor any pedestrian or vehicular circulation aisles."
a. Please provide a dumpster pad that meets the design and screening requirements of
Section 4.12.19.
RESPONSE: Thank you for bringing this to our attention. A dumpster pad has been provided
with the trash toters as well as a 6' screening fence, to falfill the screening requirements.
3. [32.7.9.7(a)(2)] Provide screening along the southern property line adjacent to the five (5) parking
spaces adjacent to TMP 56-11 as shown on the concept plan and as required by Section
