properties involved in this application.

A phase one environmental study should be considered prior the next submittal. As

10. Gated entries require a dedicated turn around area prior to the gate. The
proposed design does not have adequate area to provide the turn around.
5/16/2018 A 5-foot minimum hammerhead is also required prior to the gate.
7/18/18 Since the guest spaces are behind the proposed gated entry, please
provide a narrative of the operational characteristic of the gated entry, proposed
queues, etc.
Response:
The vehicular gate will be accessed via a driver side call box at the base of the
ramp. If a guest is denied access, the guest vehicle will pull into the turn-around
designated parking location to allow for traffic flow. The guest has the option to
turn around and leave the garage or access a second adjacent call box to
continue attempting to gain access. With the limited number of units and guests
proposed, the applicant sees this as an adequate solution to handle queuing.
11. See markup comments
Response:
Update plans per markup comments
