RE: SDP201300057 Northside Library — LOR #1
Dear Sir:
Department of Community Development has reviewed the above referenced proposal (dated 6-26-16) against
applicable codes and ordinances. Comments are provided below:
1. [4.12.16, 4.12.131 Minimum Design Required. The location of the proposed rolling dumpsters impedes two-
way traffic by reducing the aisle widths/throat of the aisle below an acceptable width (20'). Relocate the rolling
dumpsters.
It may be possible to move the `striping for no parking" to the other side of the 2 dumpsters and slide the
dumpsters into the corner. Be mindful of not impeding parking spaces.
2. [4.12.16] Minimum Design Required. The location of the two proposed parallel parking spaces impedes two-
way traffic by reducing the aisle widths below an acceptable width (20'). Relocate the parking spaces.
The site may be able to gain a couple spaces by converting/ reducing landscape islands if the minimum
landscape requirements of the site are maintained. If the proposal is revised to convert landscape islands into
spaces, provide information to verify the minimum landscape requirements are still maintained.
3. [4.12.19] Minimum design requirements and improvements for dumpster pads. Dumpster pads are required to
be concrete. The material these facilities are located on is Heavy Duty Pavement. Revise.
Engineering Comments — Matthew Wentland
1. The proposed parking will decrease the access aisle width to below the required 20' for two-way traffic and
appears to limit the access to the loading dock. [18.4.12.17(c)1]
2. Dumpsters should be placed on a concrete dumpster pad. [ 18.4.12.19]
ARB — Margaret Maliszewski
No objections
