Site Plan-
The fence blocks access to the sanitary sewer easement, consider putting gates at the north and south areas of the fencing to allow access to the easement without destruction of the fence. The property developing to the south is doing the same.

Dimension the width of the van accessible access aisle.

Is there a gate the prevents access to the rear of the building in the fenced enclosure (from the Terminal entrance or on the other side next to the building)? If so, label on the site plan.

Label building entrances on the site plan. Is the front the only entrance? Show other entrances and/or overhead door locations.

Please provide bike parking per LDC Section 6.2.5(F)

Landscape Plan -
Internal landscaping should not count other areas of landscaping that are required by the Code. Please locate the internal landscape areas per the requirements of LDC Section 6.2.2(E)(3)(b) and ensure that it is not counting areas credited toward other landscape requirements per LDC Section 6.2.2(G)(2)(h)(iii).

Currently it appears you are double counting the roadway landscape areas as required in 6.2.2 with the internal landscape areas.

Submit the following documents:
- Use the latest 2019 ESQCP Form. Unresolved. Form is downloadable at https://planningdevelopment.elpasoco.com/planning-community-development/engineering/#1519834382859-d2efa5ee-acb0
- Financial Assurance Estimate. Unresolved. Address redline comments uploaded on 10/1/2019 10:45:25 AM
- SWMP Report and SWMP Checklist. Unresolved. The GEC notes SWMP must be approved two weeks prior to beginning of construction. Staff recommends the SWMP and Checklist be submitted concurrent with the site plan review and not after site plan approval to avoid delay in issuing construction permit. Submittals/resubmittals are placed on queue on a first come first served basis and with the volume of submittals current review time is typically 30 days out. Construction permit will not be issued until the SWMP is approved.


Redline comments on the following documents will be uploaded by the project manager:

A separate sign permit shall be required for any proposed signage on site. 10/13/2019 8:59:44 PM

Landscape Plan:

Trees shall not be planted within the sanitary sewer easement. Move trees outside of easement. This does not reduce the number of trees required for the Terminal Street frontage but will require you to cluster to meet the required number of trees.

The landscape plan shows two entrances to the site. The site plan only shows one. Please revise based on the desired site layout.

Internal landscaping should not count other areas of landscaping that are required by the Code. Please locate the internal landscape areas per the requirements of LDC Section 6.2.2(E)(3)(b) and ensure that it is not counting areas credited toward other landscape requirements per LDC Section 6.2.2(G)(2)(h)(iii).

Include the scientific name for each plant species proposed.

Show proposed pole light fixtures on the landscape plan to illustrate that no conflicts exist between pole lights and proposed trees.

There is a turf area shown between the parking and the sidewalk in front of the building. How do people get from parking to the sidewalk and how does the HC ramp function?

Provide a calculation for parking lot screening (See LDC Section 6.2.2(C)(5)).

Label site distance triangles to ensure they are clear per LDC Section 6.2.2(G)(2)(f).

Add the following notes to the landscape plan (LDC Section 6.2.2(G)(2)(k):
1. The owner is responsible for all regular and normal maintenance of required landscaping including weeding, irrigation, fertilization, pruning, and mowing.
2. Replacement of dead, diseased, or substantially damaged plant materials shall occur within 6 months from the plant material died, or when the inspection determined plant material was dead or damaged. Replacement shall be of same or similar type as originally approved unless the PCD Director approves an alternative species.
3. Maintenance inspections shall be performed periodically. Failure to maintain the landscaping in compliance with the approval is considered a zoning violation.

Site Plan -
The letter of intent describes the building as a sales office. How much floor space is allocated to retail sales area where customers can view products, how much is office, and how much is storage? We need to fine tune the parking calculations based on these numbers. The floorplan provided does not indicate any areas of retail sales.

General Construction Note 3 indicates side setback at 25 feet. The required side setbacks per the zoning district are 30'.

General Construction Note 7 indicates a proposed freestanding sign that is 12 feet high. Per LDC Section 6.2.10(2)(d), freestanding signs in industrial parks are limited to low profile signs. The LDC defines a low profile sign as a freestanding sign not exceeding 6 feet in height.

Label building entrances on the site plan.

Label the accessible path of travel from the HC space to the building entrance.

Is there a gate the prevents access to the rear of the building in the fenced enclosure? If so, label on the site plan.

Provide a detail for the fencing. LDC 5.2.37 requires outside storage areas be enclosed or concealed by a solid fence or wall at least 6 feet in height. Chainlink fencing with slats is not solid and not 100% opaque.

The fence blocks access to the sanitary sewer easement, consider putting gates at the north and south areas of the fencing to allow access to the easement without destruction of the fence. The property developing to the south is doing the same.

The proposed concrete storage bins and trash enclosure are located within the sanitary sewer easement. Installation of permanent structures within the easement is not permitted without approval of the easement holder.

Dimension the width of the parking lot drive aisle.

The label for "Lot 1, Appaloosa Hwy 24 should be on the subject parcel rather than on the parcel to the east. Please move label.

Provide a detail for the proposed waste handling enclosure and gate.

The elevations show a proposed canopy over the entry. Show the extent of the canopy (edge of canopy) and the location of the supports on the site development plan.

Add the following note to the site development plan: The parties responsible for this plan have familiarized themselves with all current accessibility criteria and specifications and the proposed plan reflects all site elements required by the applicable ADA design standards and guidelines as published by the United States Department of Justice. Approval of this plan by El Paso County does not assure compliance with the ADA or any regulations or guidelines enacted or promulgated under or with respect to such laws.

Revise the Letter of intent to address the setback issue. There are two front setbacks along the roadways that are 50' feet. A reduction more than 20% along Terminal requires BOA approval. Alternatively the site can be redesigned to accommodate the required setbacks. 10/13/2019 7:47:19 PM

Regarding a request for approval of a site development plan for The Sod Guy, Enumerations has the following comments:

1. The tax schedule number and legal description on the application are incorrect. The legal description of the lot to the south of this proposal is incorrect. The legal description in the title block is incorrect. Enumerations has not received a copy of the final recorded plat of Appaloosa Hwy 24 Sub Fil. No. 1A. Enumerations will not approve any building plans for this parcel without a copy of the final recorded plat in our records.
2. The address of 595 Amelia St. was assigned to this parcel and is appropriate given the proposed access to the lot and the building frontage. Any building plans submitted should use this address.



Floodplain has no comment or objection.
