Jean,

Attached is the revised site plan to address the comments provided. I believe this will finalize the site plan review process. Do I presume correctly that I will get some type of final written approval? Let me know if that is not the case.

I will be dropping of 7 sets of the full‑size plans to supplement this 11" x 17" PDF version.

Let me know if there is anything else you need.

Also, I left you a voice mail message asking you to call me to discuss the invoice I received from the City. Please give me a call if you are the one to whom I should speak about that. If not, please ask the right person to call me.

Many thanks for you help this past year. Happy New Year to you.

Marc

Lee and Shawn,

Below are the review comments from the City on the revised site plan.

Can you modify the final site plan you sent to me ‑ copy attached. Getting this sooner than later allows me to get one more thing done and off my list :‑)

I have noted the changes per the City's comments below. I also added a change in the location of the bike rack to the location I want to use.

Can you send me a version that is in the format of 11"x17" and the typical full size. I need to send to the City the smaller version electronically and then will have the larger version printed (7 copies) and deliver that to the Site Plan review department.

Thanks, I appreciate it. I hope this is the last submission of this piece. Then I move to the building review process for other changes :‑(

Have great Holidays.

Marc

This morning we completed the review of the revised plans that you sent.  After some discussion (and consultations with fire, traffic, and DPS reviewers) we concluded that the proposal you submitted could not be approved. The revisions are generally OK, but there are 2 revisions we would like to see to make the proposals more consistent with the approved plan:

1.  Remove the marked parking space nearest to the drive that leads to the rear parking area (the northernmost one of the two that were added at the front);

2.  Place a sign near the access that is visible from Warren Ave. that says something along the lines:  "Handicap parking in rear"

You may want to send a pdf for me to look at before committing to printing the 7 at scale paper sets ‑  but as these are minor changes its fine if you want to just submit the paper plans and once received I will send an e‑mail confirming approval (also the plans get stamped and circulated to all departments/inspectors).

I am assuming you have sent revised plans to Building Inspections re the ramp etc. as the detail of that is not a site plan issue.

Please do not hesitate to call if any questions.

I will be discussing it with reviewers tomorrow morning and get back to you over lunchtime. Please don't send any plans yet as I am not sure that all of the amendments will be approved. In particular, please do not stripe the front parking spaces if these have not been done yet.

However, this scale of amendment is considered to be diminimus, so once the revisions have been approved it is just a question of having revised scaled plans to stamp and circulate so whatever has changed is on the record.

I assume that would happen. Let me know if/when you want the full size plans?

Hello Marc,

I will need to run these amendments by my colleagues (other reviewers and the Development Review Services Manager) and then get back to you.

Hi  Jean,

I believe I need your assistance for a change in the site plan for 171 Warren Avenue.

As originally laid out, we were not able to make the wheel chair work into the landscaping area available. It became necessary to modify and relocate

Attached is an 11' x 17" site plan as modified and 2 related views of the building. It reflects the following changes:

 *
Moving the handicap parking space to the rear of the building
 *
Relocation of the wheel chair ramp for the property to the rear of the building
 *
Increase to 6 parking spaces in the customer area for parking since the handicap space is relocated to the back.

Is this all you need to have the planning dept approve this modification?

If this is it, I will have it printed to normal size (36" x 24") and drop off to you. How many copies of the full ‑ large scale ‑ sheets do you need?

I hope you are doing well.

My best,

Marc
