REVIEW SUMMARY SITE PLAN REVIEW SUMMARY : ZA14-003 Review No.: Three Date of Review: 2/14/14 Project Name: KIMBALL BUSINESS CENTER APPLICANT: Pacheco Koch DEVELOPER: Chandraco, LP Javier D. Jaramillo, P.E. Sanjay Chandra 8350 N. Central Expressway, Ste. 1000 1841 Broken Bow Drive Dallas, TX Westlake, TX 76262 Phone: (972) 235-3031 Phone: (972) 567-9598 Email: jjaramillo@pkce.com CITY STAFF HAS REVIEWED THE ABOVE REFERENCED PROJECT RECEIVED BY THE CITY ON 01/13/14 AND WE OFFER THE FOLLOWING STIPULATIONS. THESE STIPULATIONS ARE HEREBY MADE CONDITIONS OF SITE PLAN APPROVAL UNLESS SPECIFICALLY AMENDED BY THE CITY COUNCIL. IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR NEED FURTHER CLARIFICATION, PLEASE CONTACT APPROPRIATE STAFF MEMBER. Patty Moos Planner I Phone: (817) 748-8269 Email: pmoos@ci.southlake.tx.us Planning Review The following are recommendations and observations by staff where your application may benefit and does not represent a requirement. A material sample board may more clearly represent the materials being used on the building being proposed. This may be useful during the Planning & Zoning Commission meeting and City Council meetings. Keith Martin Landscape Administrator Phone: (817) 748-8229 E-mail: kmartin@ci.southlake.tx.us TREE CONSERVATION COMMENTS: Tree Conservation/Landscape Review 1. Please ensure that the existing trees that are proposed to be preserved can actually be properly preserved. Some of the existing trees that are proposed to be preserved are adjacent to the proposed buildings, at the edge of the parking, have grade changes proposed around them, and utilities installed proposed close to them. A protected tree shall be considered to be altered if one or more of the following occurs: more than twenty-five percent (25%) of the critical root zone is adversely affected, more than twenty-five percent (25%) of its canopy is removed, or the tree is disfigured to the extent a reasonable person would conclude the tree will not survive. * Please be aware that all existing trees shown to be preserved on the City Council approved Tree Attachment D ZA14-003 Page 1

Conservation Plan must be preserved and protected during all phases and construction of the development. Alteration or removal of any of the existing trees shown to be preserved on the approved Tree Conservation Plan is a violation of the Tree Preservation Ordinance and the zoning as approved by the Southlake City Council. Please ensure that the layout of all structures, easements, utilities, structures grading, and any other structure proposed to be constructed do not conflict with existing trees intended to be preserved. INTERIOR LANDSCAPE AND BUFFERYARDS COMMENTS: 1. The eight (8) parking landscape islands on each side of the north building are less than twelve feet (12 ) wide. Planter islands shall have a minimum width of 12 back-of-curb to back-of-curb if curbed or 13 edge-to-edge if no curb is intended, and shall be equal to the length of the parking stall. 2. A canopy tree is proposed in a parking lot island with a fire hydrant proposed in it on the east side of the property. The tree will probably not be able to planted within this island because it is an offense to plant a tree within ten feet (10 ) of a fire hydrant. Alejandra Ayala, P.E. Civil Engineer Phone: (817) 748-8274 E-mail: aayala@ci.southlake.tx.us GENERAL COMMENTS: Public Works/Engineering Review This review is preliminary. Additional requirements may be necessary with the review of construction plans. Street intersections must comply with TDLR/ADA accessibility standards. Sight distances will be required to conform to AASHTO guidelines on adjacent collectors and arterials. Use the City of Southlake GPS monuments whenever possible. Benchmark information can be found in the City of Southlake website:http://www.cityofsouthlake.com/index.aspx?nid=266 TRAFFIC IMPAT ANALYSIS (TIA): The Traffic Impact Analysis conducted by DeShazo Group (DeShazo #13200), dated January 10, 2014 was sent to Lee Engineering for review. Refer to the comments from Lee Engineering which have been included for further information. The site is zoned as a Light Industrial District I-1 with anticipated General Office and Warehouse uses. The land uses permitted in the site should be restricted to those included in the TIA if a right turn deceleration lane is not provided. See Lee Engineering Comment 5. The TIA states that while signalization would benefit the intersection, the proposed development traffic does not create the need for the signal. See Lee Engineering Comment 6. The sight distance to the left for motorists exiting the site appears to be a potential concern. The TIA states that parking stalls will include curb stops to keep vehicles away from the sight triangle. Also, planting should be restricted to low growth (less than 2 tall) along the frontage but the landscape plan submitted indicates trees proposed to be planted within the sight triangle. See Lee Engineering Comment 8. Attachment D ZA14-003 Page 2

The proposed driveway does not align well with the lanes on Continental. A two lane exit from the site would also be desirable to allow flexibility with signal phasing and left turn operation. See Lee Comment 10. EASEMENTS: Water and sewer lines cannot cross property lines without being in a public easement or in the ROW. All waterlines in easements or ROW must be constructed to City standards. DRAINAGE COMMENTS: This site drains to the south into an existing drainage swale. Documentation supporting and certifying that detention is not necessary shall be required prior to releasing civil plans for construction. If detention is necessary; the difference between pre and post development runoff shall be captured in a detention pond. The proposed detention ponds shall control the discharge of the 2, 10 and 100 year storm events. Any changes to the site plan to include a detention pond may require approval by the Planning and Zoning Commission and City Council. Provide calculations with the civil construction plans verifying that the street and existing curb inlets contain the necessary capacity to convey fully developed conditions. Provide capacity for the proposed storm drain line located along the eastern property for the northern property. All storm sewers collecting runoff from the public street shall be RCP. The discharge of post development runoff must have no adverse impact on downstream properties and meet the provisions of Ordinance # 605. INFORMATIONAL COMMENTS: Submit 4 copies civil construction plans (22 X 34 full size sheets) and a completed Construction Plan Checklist directly to the Public Works Administration Department for review. The plans shall conform to the most recent construction plan checklist, standard details and general notes which are located on the City s website: http://www.cityofsouthlake.com/publicworks/engineeringdesign.asp A ROW permit shall be obtained from the Public Works Operations Department (817) 748-8082 to connect to the City s sewer, water or storm sewer system. A Developer Agreement may be required for this development and may need to be approved by the City Council prior to any construction of public infrastructure. Construction plans for these improvements must be acceptable to Public Works prior to placing the Developer s Agreement on the City Council agenda for consideration. Payment, Performance and a separate 2-year Maintenance Bond for public infrastructure shall be required for this development. The 2-year Maintenance Bond shall be bound only unto the City of Southlake. The Maintenance Bond cannot be tied to the Performance and Payment Bond in any way as required per the Commercial Developer Agreement. Any hazardous waste being discharged must be pretreated Ordinance No. 836. =Denotes informational comment.
