No accessibility or Landscape issue
Nothing from FIRE
- Tree mitigation calculation on landscape plan does not include 18” Bradford Pear (added to tree removal permit). Please revise.
- Use shade trees along Glen Meade instead of Crape Myrtles since there are no conflicts with powerlines.
- No further comments from planning.
NHRMC WOUND CARE PARKING LOT [TRC Plan Review #3]
Initial Review Note
All comments are based on adopted policy documents, specific City of Wilmington Land Development Code (CofW LDC) and City of Wilmington Technical Standards and Specifications Manual (CofWTSSM) requirements in effect at the time of this review. These have been noted after the comment as appropriate for your ease in further research. The City Engineer may administratively approve dimensional variance requests per LDC Sec. 18-348. If the Applicant feels further interpretation is in order, please contact Transportation Planning directly to discuss in additional detail. Please apply for all administrative variances in writing, an email is acceptable or this may be included on the plan set. Please see Sec. 18-348 of the Land Development Code for the information required to process a variance request.
NCDOT:
It is the Applicant’s responsibility to coordinate directly with NCDOT to determine if any driveway permits/ revisions/ review processes are required. Contact NCDOT at 910. 251.2655. Please note additional comments may be forthcoming once coordination occurs.
TECHNICAL STANDARDS – DRIVEWAY ACCESS (Major Thoroughfares):
1. This project (2259 S. 17th Street) and 2243 S. 17th Street share the same parcel. Please provide an update on the Driveway along S. 17th Street and the 230’ corner clearance requirement for driveways on a corner lot along major thoroughfares.
TECHNICAL STANDARDS – ACCESS (driveway, sidewalk, and sight distance):
2. As previously, stated the Glen Meade Road driveway does not appear to intersect at a 90 degree angle. Please revise. [7-11 #3 CofW Tech Stds]
3. Please ensure the driveways meet City-standard ramp-type driveways. Show appropriate City standard detail(s) on plan. [Chapter VII ,Detail SD 3-03 CofWTSSM]
4. Dimension driveway widths and tapers. [Sec.18-529 CofW LDC]
5. Provide a sidewalk connection between the site and the public sidewalk on S. 17th Street.
6. The site plans have shown a 4’ sidewalk adjacent to the new tank and vaporizer pad. Please increase to a standard 5’ sidewalk width. If the sidewalk will be at the back of curb, install a 6’ sidewalk per Technical Standards.
7. Show and apply the City’s 20’x70’ sight distance triangle at each driveway on the site plan and landscaping plan. [Sec.18-529(c)(3)CofW LDC] Add a note indicating that all proposed vegetation within sight triangles shall not interfere with clear visual sight lines from 30"-10'. [Sec.18-566 CofW LDC]
TECHNICAL STANDARDS – PARKING:
8. The dimensions on the site plan for the proposed parking aisle behind the new handicap parking spaces appear to be confusing. Consider clarifying the dimensions for the parking aisle. The distance from the face of curb to the end of the 18’ parking spaces appears to be twenty-four feet (24’), which matches the minimum drive aisle width behind perpendicular parking. [Chapter VII, Table 6, pg. 7-19 CofWTSSM]
9. Please provide protection adjacent to the flush curbing at the northern side of the building to prevent vehicles from encroaching upon this sidewalk.
10. The site data table lists bicycle parking. Show the bicycle parking on the plans. [Sec.18-528 CofW LDC]
GENERAL NOTES TO ADD TO THE PLAN:
A. Immediately notify City of Wilmington Traffic Engineering at 910-341-7888 if any traffic signal facilities or City-Owned streetlight facilities are damaged.
B. Damaged facilities shall be replaced, by an approved contractor, according to standard NCDOT replacement schedules and current NCDOT design standards.
C. All repair/replacement of traffic signal infrastructure shall be coordinated with the City of Wilmington Traffic Engineering Division.
Please let me know if you have any questions or if I can be of further assistance as this development moves through the review process.
