Re:
Site Plan at old Erickson Pontiac Lot
Here is a list of the discrepancies that I have identified on this site plan.
1. 60° parking requires an 18' wide aisle. The aisles shown are too narrow.
2. The ADA Standards for Accessible Design identify that 8 handicapped spaces are
required when 303 spaces are provided. One of these spaces must be a "van accessible"
space and must have a 96" wide aisle along side of it. The other seven handicapped
spaces must be served by a 60" wide aisle along side.
3. The radius at the trash dumpsters is too tight to allow our trash trucks to make a turn and
the aisle that leads to them is too long for our truck to back all the way out. The City
Engineer should make a determination on the minimum radius required. I'm not sure that
cars can tum in some of the radius shown.
4. There isn't enough snow starage area on the South and West sides of the Southern
parking area. What little is shown is in the City right-of-way.
5. 20% landscaping is required. All of it must be within the property lines.
I didn't measure the landscaping and the snow storage. The plans identify only 10% landscaping, so
I took them at their word. Let me know if I can be of further help.
