A. Site Development Plan (SDP201300009)
1. The access road to the parking lot is too steep. Per 18- 4.12.17 the entrances cannot exceed 4 %, but
this will be difficult. I recommend reducing the slope where it is 20% to about 12 %.
2. The vehicle access aisles to the parking lot cannot exceed a 10% grade per section 4.12.17. This
will also be difficult, but a 12% is a reasonable alternative. Please request a waiver in writing and
provide all the necessary informatation to justify that no reasonable design alternative exists.
3. The parking area cannot exceed 5% grade anywhere, in any direction per section 4.12.15.
4. The SW corner of the emergency access where it meets Berkmar Drive appears to show a 10'
shoulder that just ends. I recommend the 50' radius, with curb and gutter to adjoin Berkmar Drive.
5. Please provide a bumper block for the handicap parking adjacent to sidewalk.
Sincerely,
