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. TECHNICAL STANDARDS – DRIVEWAY ACCESS (Non-Major Thoroughfares): 1. Commercial driveways must be at least 6.5 from the adjacent property line. This will include the end of the driveway flare and curb return. The driveway curb return must be at least 6.5’ from intersecting property lines. [Chapter VII, C, Table 4 CofWTSSM] TECHNICAL STANDARDS – ACCESS (driveway, sidewalk, and sight distance): 2.

Please revise the Bordeaux Avenue Driveway apron to show commercial flares on both sides of the driveway. 4.

[Sec.18-529 CofW LDC] 7. Please connection the proposed sidewalk on this site and the existing Bordeaux Avenue sidewalk. 8. The proposed Crape Myrtles on Bordeaux Avenue are shown in the sight distance triangle and shown as 6’ height at planting. Please move the trees or replace them with a tree/species that will provide clear visual sight distance from 30” to 10’ height. [Sec.18-566 CofW LDC] 9. Add a note to the site plans and landscaping plans indicating that all proposed vegetation within sight triangles shall not interfere with clear visual sight lines from 30"-10'.
