Subject: 	171 Warren Avenue Review Comments

Marc and Lee,
 
As promised, I am sending this e-mail as a comprehensive "review" letter to clarify the final comments on the submitted site plan application and plans;  this e-mail only mentions the outstanding issues that need to be addressed as otherwise the proposals are acceptable.
 
Please revise the site plan (and details as appropriate) to show:
A bituminous sidewalk along the edge of the curb along the frontage from Hemingway Street to the nort eastern-most oak tree and transition it to provide a sidewalk at the back of the ROW when it gets beyond the tree and continue this to the property line;  please include a note on the site plan indicating that the exact location of the transition away from the curb will be field located during construction in conjunction with the City Arborist-  please include the sidewalk detail previously forwarded to you regarding the sidewalk itself; 
That the small curb cut in the middle of the frontage (not the main drive) will be closed with curbing (also sidewalk); 
Two (2) bicycle parking spaces (DERO Hitch preferred) near the main entrance; 
That dumpster will have gates and fencing all around it, plus provide detail of the gates; 
Two additional trees in the grassed area along Hemingway Street;
Details re the oak tree nearest the parking area showing how tree will be protected from construction of sidewalk; and maximize pervious area over the root system on parking lot side;
Installation of the two rear property pins in the vacated Katadin Street, with note confirming that this to be done by a licensesd surveyor. 
Please provide the information as previously requested:
The tie distance to the angle point easterly of the site along the side line of Warren Ave; 
Clarifying re impervious surface net change;
Evidence of application for Sewer and Water Capacity letters.
Please note that there will be a condition of approval along the following lines because the existing driveway does not meet the separation standard for the distance between it and Hemingway Street:
 
       "That the applicant shall close the Warren Avenue driveway and re-establish the driveway on Hemingway Street at the time
        that Hemingway Street is improved.  The applicant would be responsible for all work associated with this action, both on site 
        and off site."
 
Once I receive the revised plans and information I will endeavor to complete the review quickly;  please send the revised plans and info by pdf as well as 7 paper sets to scale so I can get these to the reviewers as quickly as possible;  I am on vacation August 30- Sept 3.
 
Please confirm that you have received this e-mail and please call if any questions.
 
Jean
