Dear Ms. Ding,
GPD is in receipt of your Plan Review comments dated June 13, 2017 and we are
addressing each comment as follows:
Landscape Plan:
1. Any new surface parking lot with more than 14 parking stalls shall be required
to comply with the parking lot landscaping requirements as outlined in RMC 4-4-
070F.6 and RMC4-4-070H4 & 5.
Response: A tree island has been added to the northern row of parking.
It should be noted that the proposed parking stall count is now 20 stalls,
due to the addition of the landscape tree island and added landscaping
around the refuse area (see comment #3).
2. A pedestrian connection from the townhome development to the south
terminates at the southern boundary of the project site. This connection should
be extended through the proposed parking lot to the Taco Bell entrance.
Response: A pedestrian connection has been added and follows the curb
on eastern edge of the parking lot. The pedestrian connection starts at
the existing sidewalk and crosswalk at the south property line and
extends to the proposed outdoor seating area. See attached photos for
reference to the location of the sidewalk connection with the neighboring
townhomes.
3. Landscaping is required around 3 sides of the refuse area per the urban design
regulations (RMC 4-3-100).
Response: The site plan and landscape plan have been revised for
proposed landscaping around 3 sides of the refuse area.
