R. BOX 280 12 NORTH CENTER STREET r PHONE f208) 359-3020 IL PAX (208) 359-3022 Nov. 1 9, 1996 There are still some problems that 1. The, dimensions from the street centerline to the curbline to the highway right -off vvay line are not show -n correctly. As indicated on the reed plans, the distmice from street centerIffie to back of curb is 3 b` 6". The distance from bask of curb to the right of way line is therefore 13Y 6" as these is a 5 0 ft. wide right of way ori that side of the street. The plans show the building as being located 72 ft. from the hack of curb. It is therefore 58' 6" from the right of way line to the face of building. (Field measurements also conf= that the building is located 72'from the back of curb li-ne.) If yvu talo the 220'and subtract the )6'6" from centerline to back of curb, Then subtract the 72' from back of curd to the building, and then subtract the 116' length of the building, it indicates that the back of the building is 4' b" easy of the east property IM* e, �� herefo�e appears �ha� mare p�op�rty is requi zed an the easy side of the building. Also note Table 5-A of the UB calls fora 1 -hr. wall wherever the property dine is fess than 20 ft. from the wall line; therefore, the entire east wail may need to have a I hr. rating dependinu upon what your final distance zs between property Ione and wall line. 2. With 72 ft. from back of curb to the building, there is room for a 7.5 ft. wide landscaped strip at the back of the sidewalk. Dependina upon how one calculates the area required for par.�ng, you need that much width or more to get the required 10% landscaping area required by the zoning ordinance, 3. The pens do not specifically indicate the required handicapped parking spaces, signs, ramps, etc. There has to be a relativeiv flat landing in frons of the doors to. facilitate �vhee�c�air maneu�rer�ng; consequently, any depressed areas in the sidewalk geed tobe located to one side or the other from the doors. (Or the doors need to be recessed.) Returned herewith are some typical drawings (sent to you previously) sowing how this has been handled in other instances. If yon have better ideas regarding how to meet these handica-rnped parkina/access requirements, we w101I3 of course, be glad to review them; however, I would dike to emphasize thatPyour ians do need to address these items in some mannen The topes, heights, sizes, clearances, etc, of the facilities in the rest room also need to meta. the requirements of UBC chapter 1 I Accessibility. 4. As indicated on the Site Plan returned to you previously, your Site pian needs to show the proposed building floor elevation and other proposed control point elevations (top of curbs, sidewalks , asphalt surface, inlet box grate, etc. as well as the. drarnag� flow arrows. Your Site Pian may not need to show as many elevationpo�n�s as does the EXAMPLE sent to you previoustv- howeverzt eves you an indication of what we expect to see in the wav of providing adequate vertical site information. As the site is in the flood plain, it is particularly important that this elevation information be referenced to the Basi Flood Elevation for the b-ui1di-n.,.-,g. As indiGated previously, you will need a flood elevati*an certificate (preparedbv a registered �ngineer or hand surveyor} for the site. On the north and east sides of the buildinc,, you do not indicate how you are going to r��a�n your storm draunace on the builirSits. �'�u c�,li�ot increase t he amount of norm drainage croing onto an adjacent owners property without that o�",-ners permission. You can direct the norm water to the east to a detention basin on your adjacent property; However, when you de-velop that property, the runoff from this parcel as well as the runoff from the easterly parcel will both have to be addressed at that time.. Similarly, the slopes from the top of asphalt dowm to the existing around are not addressed on the site plan. If the side slopes on the north and south �o over onto the adjacent owners property, you will need an easement from them to allow the slope encroachment,, 5. The Site Plans da not shote the 12" water main along 2nd East St.. The location of thiS water main was shown on the highway plans, Beni to you previously. The sizes of the water service I ine and the sewer service line and the location(s) of any sewer cleanout s a.€so need to be indicated on the plans. the site plan, does not show the sanitary server easement or the storm drain easement paxallellllcr 2nd East St. 6, The site pian does not indicate the location of the mann electrical line and where the connection point/transfonner will be. Similarly, the site pian does not indicate the location and size of the gas main and tie sire of the bas connection line,, 7. The site pian does not indicate the size of the sio drain Ime connecting vou�r new irlet box to the existing stndrain ma.in. If it is a G" or 8" diameter Zine, it could b e connected to the 18 main by a "Field Tap" as showy an the attached Drawing No. 7D0 -i. If it is larger, there would need to be a manhole connecting it to the main_ S. As indicated on the previously reviewed and returned plans, the driveway will not have curb returns like a city street approach. It Ma*11 be a depressed concrete driveway as shown. in Section B/B of Standard Drawing �+00-3 attached, 9. The Planning & Zoning Con=ssion indicated that at feast 16 park" n� spaces were required. 10. Frim our verbal discussion, it is my understanding that you are not aotnlor to have any buildings to the east of this one that will require the easterly extension of the storm drain.) sanitary sewer or water systems. The fire department indicates they still need another fire hydrant in the vicinity of the driveway to the subject building. Please contact Fire Marshall Dee Owens regarding the need for and location of this fire h The metal building plans provided do not show the correct locations of the doors and windows on the north and south sides of the bufidm"g. The plans are also lacking details of column to roof cor}nections, etc. It is my understanding that the final plans will contain all of the appropriate detaiis regarding doors, column/roof/wall connections, snow, loading, wind loads, sers�n�c loads, etc. and that they will be signed and sealed by an engineer or architect registered in Idaho, Please bio, � Kcal sectio -Jas J� i ludo r m tion wall, ext, erior non -rated wall, in I -houx wall..,and inten'or 1 P r_1 I -hour 12.

We Will need details of the sizes) of the sins on the front of the building so we can review them for compliance with the City's Sign Ord�nance. A separate Sigfl Permit will be required far the s�gns. Commercial buildings require better and more detailed site glass and'auzldin� plates than those we have required for sin��e famidy residences.

Please also understand that the more often we have to review the plans, the higher the Plan inspection Fee becomes until it reaches the maximum of 6511/o of the Building Permit Fee.

P0. BOX 280 12 N08TH CENTER STREET REXBUAG, IDAHO 83440 PHONE (208) 359-3020 FAX (20$) 359-3022 Nov. 19, 1996 There are still some probl,ems that 1. The dimensions from the street centerline to the curbline to the highway right-of-way line are not shown correctly. As indicated on the re -turned plans, the distance from street centerline to bask of curb �s 3 6' +�". The distance from back of cuxb to the rzght of way Zine is therefore 13' 6" as there i's a 5 0 ft. wide ng lit of way on that gide of the street. The plans show the building as being located 72 fit. from the back of curb. It is therefore 58' 6" from the right of way line. to the face of buildi*nge (Field measurements also confwm that the building is located 72' from the back. of curb line.) If you take the 22(x' and subtract the 3b' 6" from centerline to back of curb, then subtract the 72' from back of curb to the building, and then subtract the 116' length of the building, �t zndicates that the back of the bu'lding is 4' 6" east of the east properly lione. It therefore appears that more property is required on the east side of the building. Also nate Table 5-A of the USC calls for a 1 -hr. wall wherever the properly Ione is less than 20 ft. from the wall line- therefore, .0 the e��ire east wall may need to have a I hr.rating depending upon what your final distance �s between property line and wail line. 2. With 72 ft. from bask of curb to the building, there is room fora 7.5 ft. wide landscaped scrip at the back of the szdewalk. Depending upon how one calculates the area required for parkino,,, you need that much width or more to get the required I4% Iandscap�ng area required by the zozung ordinance° 3. The plans do not specifically indicate the required handicapped parking spaces, signs, ramp 'q, etc. There has to be a relatively flat landing in front of the doors to facilitate wheelchair maneuvenng; consequently,, any depressed areas in th-c sidewalk need to be located to one side or the other from the doors. ('Or the doors need to be recessed.) Returned herewith are some typical drawinas (sent to you previo usly) showing hew this has been handled in ocher instances. If you have bitter ideas regarding how to meet these handicapped Parkin&access requirements, we W11l, of curse, be glad to review them& ; however, I would like to en�phasi2e that your plans da need to address these Mems �n some manner. The types, heights., sees, cleazances, etc. of the facilities in the resp roam also need to meed the requirements of UBS Chapter i l Accessibility, 4. As indicated on the Site Pian returned to you previously, your Site plan needs to, show the proposed building floor elevation and other proposed control point elevations stop of curbs, sidewalks ; asphalt surface, inlet boy grate,, etc.) as well as the drainage flow axraws. Your Sate Plan may not need to show as many elevation points as does the EXAMPLE sent to you previously; however it gives you an indication of what we expect to see in the way of providinq,, adequate vertical site information. As the site is in the flood plain, it is particularly important that this elevation infonnation be referenced to the Base Flood Elevation for the building. As indicated previously, you will geed a flood elevation ceriif case (prepared by a �egistered engineer or land surveyor) for the site. On the north and east sides of the building, you deo not indicate hew you ars going to retain your stone drainage on the building site. You cannot increase the amount of storm drainage going Delo an adjacent o`Nmers property without that owxzers pemlission. You can direct the storm water to the east to a detention basin on your adjacent property-, however, when you develop that property, the runoff from this parcel as well as the runoff from t0he easterly parcel will both. have to be addressed at that time. Similarly, the slopes from the top of asphalt dowm to the existin� ground are not addressed on the site pian. If the side slopes ori the north and south go over onto the adjacent owners property, you Will need an easement from them to allow the slope encroachment. 5. The Site Plans coo not show the 12" water main alang 2nd East St. The location of this water main was shown on the highwayplans sent �o you previousty. The sites of the water service Zine and the sever service line and the location(s) of any sewer eleanouts also need to be indicated an the plans. The site pian does not show the sanitary sewer easement or the sten drain easement paralleling 2nd East St. 6. The site plan does riot indicate the location of ine main electrical Ji* ne and where the connection point/transfonner will be. Similarly, the side pian does not indicate the location and size of the gas main and the size of the gas connection line. 7. The site plan does not indicate the size of the storm drain dine connecting your new inlet boy to the existing storm drain main, Tf it is a 6" o� 8" dpamete� line, it could be connected to the 18" main by a "Field Tap" as shovvn on the attached D�awin� No. 700-7.
