UESTIONS REGARDING THE SITE PLAN FOR
THE DR. RONALD MILUI:-'s PROFESSIONAL BUILDING
1. According to the Zoning ordinance the building should have a 25 ft, setback from the
l st South St. right of way line. The plans show around a 17 ft. setback. Utilizing Section
4.9 - Exception to Setback. RQuirem and averaging the setbacks for- the existing buildings to
the west of the proposed building (Setbacks = 20,17.5 & 8.5 ft. = Avg. of 15.3 ft.) one gets an
average setback of 15.3 ft. for the south gide of this block, indicating that the approximately 17 ft,
setback shown on the buiuld'Ing plans would be O.K.
2. The ultimate building sire of 4,72.0 sq. ft. (times 5 parking spaces per 1000 sq. ft.. of
building) requires 24 parking spaces. The first -phase building sire of 3,730 sq. ft. requires 19
parking spices_ The number of parking spaces actually provided = 21 which is not adequate
unless additional future parking spaces can be shown to be available at su-ch time as the building is
expanded.
3. The approved Subdivision Improvement 'Drawings for the subdivision show a 6"
waterline and an S"
sanitary
sewerline being extended
to the south through the
parking dot area
east of this building.
Have
either of these utility lines
been installed? Who is
responsible for
installing these required
installation?
sewer and water lines? Is fir. Crouch or Dr. Mills responsible for their
mate that the depth to solid rock is not very great in this area so the cost of installing these
utility lines could be very substantial. The Developer of the Subdivision is normally responsible
for install'Thig the fire hydrants and waterlines, sanitary sewer lines and manholes, storm drain lines,.
manho�es, inlet boxes, etc_
Note that normal subdivision development items such as street ligbts, street centerline
survey monuments, lot corner rnonunlents, and street signs all need to be addressed also.
4. The parking dot layout and landscaping work completed by Dr, Crouch does not
correspond with the "Original" subdivision parking lot layout and landscaping plan that were
previously approved by the Planning & Zonin gor Commission. Similarly, the proposed parking
lit layout and landscaping plans pi-oposed for the Dr.. Mills building do not correspond with the
"original" plans approved by the Planning & Zoning Commission. The Planmng & Zoning
Comnu-ssion will have to review these existing and pi-oposed perking lot and landscaping plans to
to see if they approve of these charged versions of the originally approved plans.
5. A 5 ft. wide sidewalk is required along the south gide of I st South St. with a
connection back into the parking lot along the projected extension of Ash St. This could be a
curvilinear sidewalk as sketched -in on the site plan.
6. A 5 ft. sidewalk also needs to be erAended to the south at the southeast corner of t ie
building's parking lot to provide for foot traffitc to the other future office buildings that will be
located farther to the south of the subject building. (See approved play that shows other lots to the
south.)
7. Curb and gutter needs to be extended around the corner and connected into the
existing curb and gutter on the south side of I st South Street. There will need to be a
depressed handicapped ramp installed at this corner, which will affect both the curb and gutter
and the sidewalk.
8. Asphalt Pavement and Base Gravel need to meet City Standards for depth and quality
of materials for those portions of the 1st Sough Street/ Ash Vit. intersecfion that are within the
designated "Public Right of may". It should be noted for the record that the public strut ends
at the youth Right-of-way line of 1st South Street, and that south of the south right-of-way lige
of }. st South Street the developed street and parking lot will be privately owned, operated and
maintained by Dr. Crouch or the group of Doctors that eventually construct budd'ngs on all of
the lots in this private subdivision.
9. Depths of asphalt pavement and base gravel for the private street and parking dot have
not been shown on the plans.
10. No curb elevatIM
ions have been. shown on the south side of the southerly parking lot,
Also, haw do the
proposed curb and gutter and asphalt pavement
grades match with
the existing
curb on I st South
Street and with the existing asphalt paving and
landscaped median
strip hand
curbs) in the exisfing parking lot that is east of this proposed building?
11. French drains for stonn water runoff will not work satisfactorily in this area because
solid arae is so near the surface of the ground. Therefore,, a storm drain line from the proposed
storm drain inlet boxes will need to be extended farther to the east past Dr, grouch's office to
connect into the existing storm drain line that is located along Dr. CroucIf s east property ling,
[3r. it could tie extended across Dr. Crouch's parking lot and connect into the e�cist�ng norm drain
ling and inlet box(es) in Dr. Crouch's parking lot.
This storm drain line should be located both horizontally and vertically so it could be used
by the remaining lots to the south. these remaining dots will have to install separate starm
drain lines from said lots wMch X11 have to drain easterly and connect into the existing storm
drain line along the easterly side of said yet -to be developed lois.

site plan.
A R.Qrmanent location for the trash dumpster needs to be established aspart of this
13. There needs to be a heavily screened landscaping strip (az- fence) between the
westerly side of the parking lot and the adjacent apartment house to the west. (See Zoning
Ordinance, Section 4.7 - A. Screening Requirements,, Subsection 1.- Parking Areas.)
