Sincerely, MICHAEL J HO~MILLER Planning Director MIH.CW%d Attachments c: Gary Wayne Brian Hunter Bobbie Hoder Bob Wojcik Ken Quon File Cqy Data Entry MarjorieNch 2075 Las Palmas Drive - Carlsbad. California 92009-1576 - (619) 438-1 161 @ .- ISSUES OF CONCERN No. PIP 95-03 - Exhibit Art PLANNING 1. 2. 3. 4. The minimum standard parking stall size is 170 square feet or 20 feet deep by 8.5 feet wide. A 2.5 foot of overhang is allowed up to but not within the building setback along either street frontage. Up to 25% of the total spaces required may be provided as compact spaces. Compact spaces must be a minimum width of 8 feet and a minimum depth of 15 feet with no overhang permitted. A retaining wall of 5 feet is proposed along Kellogg Avenue. SP 181(A) allows up to maximum of 3 foot walls within the building setback area of 30 feet from the Right-of-way. Any proposed retaining wall must be of decorative materials. The proposed recess of 10 feet on the north end of the building will sufficiently disguise the roll-up door from a large part of Kellogg Avenue. However, in order to insure that this roll-up door does not become a "loading area" a condition will be placed on the project prohibiting the parking of vehicles for any reason in the front of the roll-up door. In order to further disguise the roll-up doors on the south side of the building, I would suggest that the a similar recess treatment be provided as well as the same condition regarding parking as in the paragraph above. Hedge planting should be provided along the top of slopes in order to screen the fronts of parked cars. ENGINEERING: 1. The drainage openings in the parking lot planter islands that are indicated on the grading plan are not shown on the site plan. 2. The section of retaining wall extending from the northeast corner of the building towards Kellogg Avenue, as shown on the site plan and landscape plan, is not shown on the grading plan. 3. The grading plan indicates that drainage from the slope on the east side of the building will travel along the top of the retaining wall towards Kellogg Avenue. We suggest adding a pipe or extending the brow ditch to carry this runoff from the end of the building to the street to avoid nuisance water where the comer of the building meets the slope. 4. The location of six parking stalls along the south side of the building will interfere with truck parking at the two roll-up doors on either side. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. A clear distance of 5' on both sides is required for parking stalls located at the end of an aisle and perpendicular to one another. This configuration occurs in the southwest corner of the parking lot. All parking lot planter islands should extend to the end of the parking stall to avoid parked vehicks from protruding into the aisle. Because of the location of the trash enclosure and the triangular shape of the area, it appears that there is not enough space for trucks to maneuver in the parking lot area on the south side of the building. To assure that there is adequate truck circulation space, please plot on the site plan turning radii for a 42' long truck in accordance with Figure 407E of the California Department of Transportation Highway Design Manual. Please note that truck turns cannot encroach into parking stalls. Similar to the previous comment, please plot truck turning radii for the roll-up door located on the north side of the building. An additional concern is that trucks will use Kellogg Avenue as a backing area into the parking lot. This project is to comply with the City's requirements of the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit. This permit requires the project to provide best management practices to reduce surface pollutants to an acceptable level prior to discharge. Please indicate on the plans as to how-this requirement will be met. Previous industrial projects have utilized methods such as the installation of modified basins designed to remove pollutants prior to discharge into an inlet, or directing runoff through landscaped areas prior to discharge. We suggest locating the drainage inlet so that it does not become a tripping hazard for users of the employee eating area. Please provide a detail of the connection of the gravel filter and concrete spillway to the existing type "F" inlet. Please clarify the "ADA" sidewalk adjacent to the driveway. It is unclear if this improvement is intended to be a standard 4' wide section of sidewalk or an additional 4' of width to the driveway apron. Since a portion of this sidewalk is a private improvement, please remove the term "public" from the note on the plan. Finally, this' sidewalk is not shown on the grading plan. Please indicate on the site plan the dimensions of the planter area adjacent to the two roll-up doors on the south side of the building. The landscape plans show an existing water meter within the driveway apron, while the site plan and grading plan indicate this meter is located east of the driveway. Please check the proposed landscape materials near the driveway area to make sure that landscaping will not reduce sight distance. Attached is a redlined check print set of the project. Please return this plan set with the corrected plans to assist us in our continued review. If you have questions regarding any of the Engineering comments above, please contact Ken Quon at (619) 438-1161, extension 4380.
