RE: Aspen Dental interior finish-3270 North Eagle Road
Please find the following in response and clarification to review comments.
1. The scale on the site-plan is incorrect. It states it is ¼” but that scale does not work at all on the
plans. The plans are required to be scalable. Please resubmit plans that are to scale.
• Scale has been corrected to 1”=10’-0”
2. Please clarify your drive aisle width on the west side of the building, abutting Eagle Rd. Your
site-plan shows 23’6” but we approved and inspected this in previous approvals and it was
approved at the minimum of 25 feet.
• Dimension has been adjusted to reference the correct point.
3. As briefly discussed prior to submittal, the new parking spaces proposed on the south end of the
site will require additional parking lot landscaping. The simplest way to accomplish this is to
label the street buffer as “existing buffer landscaping…” or similar and then the striped areas
you show would need to become planter islands that meet our code (UDC 11-3B-8: Parking Lot
Landscaping). Please resubmit landscape plans that show these new planter islands and
required parking lot landscaping.
• Site plan has been updated to include requested landscaping islands and additional
landscaping notes.
