Hi Patrick,
The City Engineer reviewed this and is in agreeance with us that the new luminaire should not be required and we can
disregard the comment. See below for City email.
Let us know if you need anything else on this.
Have a good weekend!

Ron,
I talked to Shawn, the City Engineer, about the subject and he agrees with how recent the subdivision was reviewed and
accepted it is not responsibility to add a new light.
Please disregard the comment to add the additional light for your sight plan.
Thanks Ron,
Karl A. Johnson

Karl,

If this is the case, your response begs the question of why this wasn’t caught previously. The mid-block crossing was
approved in it’s current configuration with street lighting as part of the subdivision and infrastructure improvements. If
this wasn’t required as part of the subdivision and infrastructure improvements, we do not see why it should be
required as part of the site plan package. Because this was not part of the original bid package for the infrastructure
improvements, it is significantly more expensive to go back for a second light pole at this point. Can you please explain
how the city has the authority to require something beyond what has already been approved?
Thank you,
Ron

Ron,
Yes a mid block cross walk requires lighting on both sides of the crossing. So we would need one shown on your side
prior to site plan approval
Thanks,

Karl,
We have a question in regards to your comment on adding a street luminaire as part of Package D.
The below snapshot indicates what was approved as part of the subdivision infrastructure package. There is an
existing luminaire on the west side of Stafford at the mid-block crossing. Does your comment imply that there
should have been another luminaire installed on the east side of the street, as part of the subdivision
improvements?
Thank you,
Ron

Greetings Nicole. The DRC discussion of Package D went well this morning. In fact, Karl Johnson already has his
comments in writing—which I attach to this message to give you an early start on responses. He cautions of trees
planted too close to utility services and that a public streetlight is needed in the northwest corner of the Site.
Addi Jadin will provide comments and guidance on parkland cash-in-lieu for this portion of Phase 2 of the
subdivision. John Alston asks that you make sure that the mechanical rooms in each building is sized properly and he
provides the attached drawing to guide you.
I will wait a couple of days to get all written comments in but I expect that we will determine that the current site plan
will be sufficient to begin the required public comment period on February 22 nd through March 8 th . I will give you
instructions within the next few days.
I have to give a final review of the Landscape Block Frontage details for the Garfield-facing buildings—with your two
departure requests.
Good work, Nicole and your team.
