This maintains the structural integrity of the box. 14446 Engineering 1 Paul Andrews Compliant Andrews 09/30/2015 11/03/2015 Plans reviewed were stamped by the engineer on 20-oct-15 Ok for Planning Commission Note: The use of gravel in the rear requires that there is not loading and unloading being done to the rear of the building. I would expect that the dumpster would require a paved surface for the trash truck the drive isle may have to be paved. how will the gravel spaces be delineated? The right space on the 8-parking bay should be looked at to make sure that a vehicle parked in that location does not impede the 24-ft drive isle. verify that the spaces along Demere Road meet the minimum parking space width in the curved section. will the western driveway be in the dedicated left turn area for the traffic light? if so, that may have to be re-striped to accommodate the left turn exits. 14450 Environmental Health 1 William Jenkins Compliant Jenkins 09/30/2015 10/02/2015 10-1-2015 no comment on site plan but remember need food service application, fees and permit when construction of food service starts.
