• The project is located within a Watershed Resource Protection Area as identified by the 2006 CAMA Land Classification Map. The site must meet standards for exceptional design for the proposed impervious coverage. Please submit an exceptional design narrative. Maximum allowable (with points) impervious coverage is 75%.
• Provide wetland determination/delineation.
• Adjust building location and/or consider breaking up the building to avoid significant trees. 
• Plan identifies a 40” Oak with a rotten base and an 18” Oak with a rotten top as being saved, please confirm with City Arborist.
• There are several trees located outside of essential site improvements that can be saved.
• There are a number of trees that can be saved with some adjustments to the site and parking layout.
• A tree removal/preservation permit is required. Provide removal number and mitigation calculation.
• A land scape plan is required.
• Show/provide required dumpster screening.
• There will be a streetyard required along Park Avenue, not a bufferyard. 
• A waiver from the 500/800 maximum driveway length will be required. Please submit this request through the Engineering Department.
• Provide location and dimensions for required loading space.
• Show location (including number) of bicycle parking spaces.
• All federal, state, and local permits are required prior to full construction release.
• Would it be possible to adjust parking along western property line to allow for a direct sidewalk route from the end of 58th Street to Park Avenue? You may gain most of the spaces back by removing the proposed pedestrian connection from the interior of the site. 
• If the interior pedestrian path is maintained there may be an opportunity to run the path between two buildings out to Oleander, if buildings are adjusted to save significant trees, creating a green corridor feature for the site.

BASE INFORMATION: • Please provide a demolition sheet to show existing items that will be removed from the site. • If NCDOT requires a right turn lane, please show it as a separate plan sheet or special detail for the project, on the site plan. TRAFFIC IMPACT:  Please provide the estimate Trip Generation for this project. The Trip Generation should follow the typical format: Per the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ite) Trip Generation 9th Edition, 2012, Microtrans trip Generation Software; the estimated Trip Generation for the proposed LIST PROPOSED USE + INTENSITY (ite land use code xxx) is xx total driveway volume in the AM peak hours, xx total driveway volume in the PM peak hours and xx average weekday 2-way driveway volume.  If a Traffic Impact Analysis (TIA) has been started for this project, please provide the name for the TIA and an update on project status for this TIA. 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. • If a Turn Lane or other improvement is required by the NCDOT driveway permit process, it must be incorporated into the site plans for this project. • The site driveway on Oleander Drive must show compliance with the minimum Driveway Stem length. TECHNICAL STANDARDS – DRIVEWAY ACCESS (Major Thoroughfares): 1. Due to the alignment of the site driveway and Victory Gardens Drive, a variance may be required for the 75’ minimum property line offset distance. TECHNICAL STANDARDS – DRIVEWAY ACCESS (Non-Major Thoroughfares): 2. The proposed driveway on 58th Street appears to have created a negative offset conflict with turning vehicles from the site and Marguerite Drive. The site will be required to align the driveway with the street or shift the driveway well beyond the street. 3. The proposed paving of 58th Street appears to end prior to the end of the 58th Street ROW and property frontage on this street. Please revise and extend the pavement beyond the driveway. TECHNICAL STANDARDS – ACCESS (driveway, sidewalk, and sight distance): 4. Note which existing driveways will be closed. Extend the curb along these driveways and restore the verge area to match the existing/proposed. 5. Show proposed driveway centerline elevations at both the front and the back of each concrete driveway apron, at the curb line, property line & points at 26’ and 52’ behind the property line.

[Sec.18-566 CofW LDC] TECHNICAL STANDARDS – PARKING: 12. Please show truck turning movements to the dumpster location for a Trash Truck and Fire Engine. 13. Provide a turning movement analysis of a Fire Engine on each side of the building location. 14.
