PUBLIC WORKS - General
Comments: None X
PUBLIC WORKS Traffic
Comments:
1. Driveways accessing both Woolbright and Congress should be "right in-right X
out".
UTILITIES
Comments:
2. Fire flow calculations will be required demonstrating the City Code X
requirement of 1,500 g.p.m, as stated in LDR Chap. 6, Art. IV, Sec. 16, or the
requirement imposed by insurance underwriters, whichever is greater (see
CODE Sec. 26-16(a)).
3. All utility easements are shown on the rectified site plan and landscaping X
drawings; we will determine which trees may interfere with existing utilities.
In general, palm trees will be the only tree species allowed within utility
easements. Canopy trees may be planted outside of the easements so that
roots and branches will not impact those utilities within the easement in the
foreseeable future. LDR Sec 7.5-18.1 give public utilities the authority to
remove any trees that interfere with utility services, either in utility easements
or public rights-of-way.
4. The Utilities Department does not approve of a CBS screen wall or X
continuous heavy landscape visual screen barrier within its utility easement
along the west property line of this project. Palm tree cluster(s) and staggered
on either side of the existing water main may be planted to satisfy the
screening intent. However, the Utilities Department will field locate the water
main at the time of landscape planting to ensure that no trees are installed that
would be detrimental to the existing water main. Low shrubbery is
permissible provided that the applicant executes a "Hold Harmless"
agreement in the event the Department is required to excavate any portion of
the utility easement to repair and/or replace any portion of the existing water
main that would damage and/or destroy said palm tree clustering or said low
shrubbery. The aspects of this condition relative to the density of
landscaping materials are superseded by Commission Condition #45.
