Dear Mr. Carper and Hubsch,
We are enclosing herewith site development/construction plans review of the Gate Automobile
Service Station with Minor Automotive Service submittal. Enclosed you will find:
• 4 Sets of Revised Signed and Sealed Plans
• Updated Stormwater "ICPR" Calculations
Zoning Review Correction Comments 1/29/16:
1. The submitted plans state this is an "Automotive Service Station with Minor Automotive
Service". Please provide staff with further information about what is considered minor
automotive service.
Response: Noted, thank you.
2. Section 24-111(a) states, "new development and new uses within these districts should
have direct access to arterial or collector streets, and sites should be designed so that
increased traffic through adjacent residential neighborhoods is avoided." Please describe
how the site has been designed to avoid increased traffic though adjacent residential
neighborhoods. Additionally, please provide the city with information about how deliveries
will be made to the site.
Response: Noted, thank you.
3. Section 32(b) states, "the licensed premises where any alcoholic beverages are kept,
except for restaurants, grocery stores and markets where the primary business is the sale
or service of food, shall be closed for business between the hours of 2:00 AM and 7:00 AM
all days of the week. No person shall be permitted on the premises of such business during
such hours except to clean the premises, to preform necessary functions for closing the
establishment or to perform necessary maintenance." Please provide staff with anticipated
hours of operation.

Response: Noted, thank you.
4. Section 24-165(d) states, "All lights and lighting on a service station shall be designed and
arranged so that no source of light shall be directly visible from any residential zoning
district." Additionally, Section 24-171€ states, "direct lighting sources shall be shielded or
recessed so that excessive light does not illuminate adjacent properties or the sky". The
submitted photometric plan shows that minimal lighting will leave the site. However, please
describe or demonstrate how exterior lights will be shielded or recessed.
Response: Noted, thank you.
5. Section 24-171(g)(2) requires a six foot wide area between the building and sidewalks. This
area is visible in the plans, but the landscape plan does not show any landscaping. Please
revise plans to meet this provision.
Response: Noted, thank you.
6. Sections 24-177(d)(1)(b), "all vehicle use areas (VUA) that are not entirely screened by an
intervening building from any abutting dedicated public street shall contain the following, a
durable opaque landscape screen along at least 75% of the street frontage, excluding
driveways. The submitted landscape plans do not appear to provide a sufficient landscape
screen along the street frontage. Please revise accordingly.
Response: Noted, thank you.
7. Section 24-177(d)(4) states, "the maximum width of any driveway not containing a
landscape island through the perimeter landscape area shall be 36 feet. The driveway
shown on plans exceeds 36 feet. Please revise plans accordingly.
Response: Noted, thank you.
8. Section 23-33(f)(1)(a) requires new oaks to have a minimum 4 inch caliper and 12 foot
height at the time of installation. Please revise landscape plans accordingly.
Response: Noted, thank you.
9. Per 24-67(d), when preliminary site development plans are signed off on by all
departments, the applicant may submit an application for a development permit for vertical
construction.
Response: Noted, thank you.
10. Be aware that the city will ensure that construction complies with Section 24-171(c)(3)
which states "The exterior finish of new building shall be of brick, wood, stucco, decorative
masonry, exterior insulation and finish systems (EIFS), architectural or split faces type block
or other finish materials with similar appearance or texture. Metal clad, corrugated metal,
plywood or oriented stand board (OSB), and exposed plain concrete shall not be permitted
as exterior finish materials on the front or any street side building."
Response: Noted, thank you.

11. Additionally, Section 24-171(c)(1) states, "roofs, which give the appearance of a flat roof
from any street side of the building are prohibited. Roofs may be gabled, hipped, mansard,
or otherwise designed so as to avoid the appearance of a flat roof from the adjoining
street."
Response: Noted, thank you.
12. Mr. Lindorff's report provides reasoning for why the City is not able to require onsite parking
beyond the minimum standards established in Section 24-161. As such, the City can only
require 19 spaces for the restaurant use (1 space per 4 seats) and 16 spaces for the "retail
sales" structure (1 space per 400 square feet of gross floor area). The proposed plan
shows 26 spaces for the retail sales building and 18 spaces for the restaurant. Please
revise plans to provide 1 additional space for the Beach Diner use.
Response: Please see revised Sheet 3.0 which provides the additional parking space
requested.
13. (Informational) Prior to any tree removal on site, please submit a tree removal permit. The
tree planting shown in the submitted landscape plan are able to be used as mitigation (if
necessary).
Response: Noted, thank you.
