RE: SDP201400059 Hollymead Towncenter Area A -1— Minor Amendment
Dear Sir:
Your Minor Amendment application has been reviewed. In order for the amended site plan to be
approved the following revisions are required:
1. [4.12.13(e)] Each site plan... shall provide a dumpster pad that does not impede any required parking
or loading spaces, nor any pedestrian or vehicular circulation aisles. The dumpster pad area should
not block travel way, it appears it will when the doors are opened. Please relocate the dumpster pad
area back from travel way to avoid any impact. Revise.
2. [4.12.16(c)3] Angled Parking. Please label the angle of parking for verification. Also, provide
dominions for these four spaces.
3. [4.12.17(c)2(a)] Bypass traffic. A travelway width of up to sixteen (16) feet may be required to allow
for bypass traffic, when deemed necessary by the county engineer. In making this determination, the
county engineer shall consider the site specific factors including, but not limited to, the length of the
travelway, nature of the land use, and internal traffic circulation. Provide measurements for drive
thru lanes for orders and the bypass lane. Currently the bypass lane appears to only be 11 feet wide.
4. [32.5.2(b)] On sheet 2, amendment #1 provided 50 regular spaces onsite and 2 handicapped spaces,
amendment #2 provides 61 regular spaces and 2 handicapped, thus 11 new regular parking spaces are
being provided. However, on sheet 1, under parking calculations 12 regular spaces are being provided
with the revision (1,150 regular parking spaces from Amendment #1 and 1,162 spaces from
amendment #2). Please address this inconsistency.
5. [32.5.2(a)] Zoning. Add a note that states "proffers are associated with the project ", Entrance
Corridor (EC) and Airport Impact Area (AIA) to the Zoning note.
6. [32.5.2i] Streets. Label all street names on the plan.
7. [Comment] On sheet 4, Plant List, the total canopy calculations seem to have a typographical/
mathematical area. The plan lists 10,955 SF; however, when added it truly is 12,872 SF. Revise.
8. [Comment] On the plan depict and label the proposed building canopy over the drive thru.
9. [32.6.2(k) & 4.17] Lighting. Sheet 5, the cutsheets are blurry, small font and generally unreadable,
revise to make them readable. Also, under note #5 it lists 0.75 as the maintenance factor; however,
this truly should be 1 Light Loss Factor. Revise. Please coordinate this with ARB review.

ARB — Margaret Maliszewski (8 -5 -14 comments)
This proposal will be reviewed by the ARB on September 15, 2014. Comments will be available after that
date.
Engineering Comments — Max Greene
1. New sidewalk at proposed entrance will require CG -12 handicap ramps and stripping.
2. New entrance stop sign should be moved back behind crossing area similar to approved stop sign
in approved entrance.
3. "T" sidewalk configuration is confusing and should be a straight connection to sidewalk on
opposite side of proposed entrance.
4. Dumpster pad area should not block travel way when doors are opened. Please move the pad area
back from travel way.
5. Please label the angle of parking for verification. It appears to be 30 degree parking.
6. Drive lanes for orders /pick -up -lane will need to be shown to verify movements can be performed
without crossing into bypass lane when making turn around building. Inside radii will be shown
and should be 20'.
7. Stop bar pavement marking should be placed at the exit of the drive thru lane.
8. Please show sight distance triangles for drive thru lane. Should be a minimum 100' sight distance
for approval.
9. Bumper blocks should be placed in angled parking spaces to protect vehicles from hitting guard
rail.
10. VSMP plans will be required with final site plan submittal.
