unsafe intersection for pedestrians, the developer should remove this sidewalk connection and reroute the sidewalk along the west edge of Oakcrest Avenue and make a connection with the existing sidewalk adjacent to the Knights of Columbus building. It should be noted that current City policy requires sidewalks along all roadway frontage in business zoning districts. 6. The current proposal calls for angle parking along the southerly portion of the parking lot. The drive aisle south of the parking area is only 21' wide which does not meet City codes for two-way traffic. However, the site layout suggests that the drive aisle be designed for two- way traffic. With some minor modifications, the parking lot could accommodate 90 degree parking in this area with a drive aisle that would meet current City codes for two-way traffic. It is recommended that this be required to avoid on-site circulation problems. 7. The current proposal calls for sheet drainage of the parking lot to a concrete drainage flume located in the southwest portion of the property. Based on the size of this property, catch basins and stonn sewer will be required within the parking lot to carry stonnwater run-off to the proposed pond. 8. There is currently a stonn sewer connection proposed on the Rosebrook Park property. The developer should work with the City's Parks and Engineering Departments to obtain a permit to make the connection. 9. The connection to the Knights of Columbus parking lot may create some confusion for motorists. It appears from the existing conditions plan that the parking at the Knights of Columbus building is situated so that motorists exiting the National Tire Warehouse site will have some difficulty maneuvering through the parking lot. The developer should work with the Knights of Columbus to ensure that a direct route through the parking lot is provided. In addition, the proposed opening is approximately 20' in width. The driveway opening should be widened to 24' to accommodate two-way traffic. 10. The driveway opening to Oakcrest Avenue is approximately 24' in width. It may be beneficial to provide a wider opening to ease the difficulty of the turning movement rrom southbound Oakcrest Avenue. 11. The proposed sanitary sewer service is very long and crosses the Knights of Columbus parking lot. Because of the length of the service, a clean-out will be required every 100 feet minimum. The current proposal calls for a 6" water service to be tapped off of an existing hydrant lead. The water service should be tapped into the watennain on the opposite side of the existing valve and a new valve should be provided. 12. The landscaping plan should be reviewed by Chuck Stifter in the Parks Department. In addition, the landscaping plan should be compared with the utility plans to ensure that landscaping items are not placed over the top of existing utilities. 13. Assessments for sanitary sewer in the amount of $448.69 and for watennain in the amount of $340.08 will be required if the project is approved.
