An address of 1825 W Kagy already exists for this lot. That address can be used
for the new building. We'll just need to work together to add unit designations
once this is approved and you are ready to obtain building permits. Any additional
buildings would need additional consideration and addressing.
Understood - we look forward to
coordinating unit addressing more
once the application reaches
adequacy.

Ditch Noticing Checklist:
BMC 38.310.010 - The applicant must fill out the Ditch Noticing Checklist found
on the planning website and provide the relevant documentation with the
subsequent site plan application for documentation purposes. The checklist
includes a box to check if there are no new impacts. As of June 18, 2025, the
checklist is required with all concept reviews, site plans, master site plans,
subdivision pre-applications, subdivision preliminary plats, and PDZs.
The applicant is proposing a driveway access and sidewalk over the existing
MDCD irrigation pipe along S 19th Ave. It is unclear if MCDC will allow this, or if

Water Rights and Water Adequacy:
Prior to the site plan application being deemed adequate for review, the applicant
must describe how it intends to satisfy water adequacy requirements in BMC
38.410.110 and meet requirements of BMC 38.710.050.A.19. The information
provided should be compiled into a preliminary water adequacy compliance report
containing the following:
a) A description of water rights associated with the property or otherwise available
to the applicant, and a description of whether each respective water right is
appurtenant to the property or has been severed from the land title.
b) A description of the proposed lots for which a payment of cash in lieu of water
rights will be provided and the proposed lots for which deferred compliance of
BMC 38.410.130 will be sought.
c) A description of the proposed lots for which non-potable irrigation systems will
be provided; the anticipated irrigation water demand of each lot; and the water
source proposed to supply the non-potable irrigation systems.
i) If exempt wells are proposed for irrigation supply, then the applicant must obtain
DNRC approval of Form No. 602I Notice of Intent to Appropriate Groundwater
prior to adequacy.
ii) If exempt wells authorized by DNRC under an approved notice of intent to
appropriate groundwater are inadequate to meet the anticipated irrigation
demands and existing irrigation water rights are associated with the property or
otherwise available to the applicant , then the applicant must:
(1) Evaluate the legal elements of the water rights to determine if a DNRC change
authorization is required to use the rights as proposed.
(2) Confirm that the flowrate and volume of the water rights are adequate to meet
the anticipated irrigation water demands.
(3) Confirm that existing water conveyance facilities can deliver the water rights
from their point of diversion to the proposed place of use. If existing conveyance
facilities are inadequate, then provide a description of improvements needed to
deliver the water rights to the proposed place of use.

The plans currently are unclear exactly where the MDT right of way will be
expanded to between the civil plan and architectural plan. In the civil plan,
common outdoor open space (in the new code amenity space) and pedestrian
connections are shown encroaching into the shown expansion of the MDT right of
way. Please be aware that MDT is not likely to permit such encroachments, and
planning staff would not count amenity space within a street right-of-way towards
the overall total amenity space calculation.
The applicant understands that the
Kagy Blvd right-of way will not be

South 19th Avenue it appears to exceed the allowed 250-foot maximum. Please
either design the building to be at or less than the maximum width allowed or
provide a statutory alternative such as the Open Space as Building Break (per
BMC Section 38.260.110.B.3.b.). Please ensure that any formal submittal meets
the maximum building widths allowed by Municipal Code.
Building length along S. 19th has been
updated with the Site Plan Application
to stay below 250' length to avoid the
building break or open space
requirement.

rooms, etc.. Please provide this information in any formal submittal.
Noted. The street facing rooms are
either units or common amenity
spaces that will meet this requirement.
Stairwells, storage and equipment
rooms all face inward on the site.

Please provide all calculations related to window transparency requirements of
the R-D zoning district. In order to comply with BMC Section 38.210.050.B.5. all
stories must have a minimum of 30% transparency. See the measurements
required for determining each floor height for this calculation located in BMC
Section 38.260.140. Please provide this information on the elevation sheets in any
formal submittal.
Noted, however, per the design team's
follow up email; only the first floor is
required to have 30% transparency and
15% on upper stories.

Per BMC Section 38.520.040.B. for each facade, a building is required to provide
a change in roofline with vertical modulation of at least 2 feet, every 60 horizontal
feet of building width pursuant to the detailed requirements of Subsection F. All
elevations need to provide this vertical articulation at least every 60 feet. Please
design the structure to provide the minimum required facade articulation on all
facades in any formal submittal.
This section cites a nonresidential
façade articulation requirement. Per
follow up email, design team will
follow 38.520.040.C which addresses
building articulation requirements for
residential structures.

Please ensure that in any formal submittal the parking lot landscaping is designed
in conformance with Section 38.540.050. Currently it appears that there may not
be enough landscaped areas to ensure that no parking space is further than 70-
feet from the trunk of a tree.
Please see the landscape plans
included with the site plan application
materials with radii from trees
demonstrating compliance with this

Please ensure that in any formal submittal the parking lot landscaping is designed
in conformance with Section 38.540.050. Currently it appears that landscape
screening has not been provided to mitigate the residential adjacency along the
North and East property lines. Please ensure that any formal submittal includes
landscape screening in conformance with subsection B.2.a.
Please see the landscape plans
included with the site plan application
materials for proposed landscape
screening from parking lots.

BMC Section 38.510.040.C.4. requires that one walkway must be provided at a
maximum spacing of every 200ft or every 4 parking rows. In order to ensure that
this site complies with minimum pedestrian path spacing, the site must contain at
least 2 pedestrian walkways which provide north/south access. Planning staff
would recommend placing one on the eastern property line and one through the
center of the parking lot next to the proposed location of bike parking in order to
satisfy this requirement. Please provide pedestrian paths through the property at
the minimum required spacing in any formal submittal.
North/south walkways have been
added along the east property line and
through the center of the parking lot as
recommended by planning staff.

BMC Section 38.510.060.B. The trash location may not be appropriately sited.
Given the limited information within this submittal, it is unclear whether it would be
acceptable. Please ensure that the trash enclosure is located away from internal
pathways and pedestrian areas while still being accessible for solid waste pick up.
This may require early coordination with the Solid Waste Department, prior to
formal submittal.
There is no permanent trash enclosure
proposed. Dumpsters will be stored
internally to the building and will be
rolled out to a heated tip pad on trash
day for collection. See also solid waste
comment REF #3.

Per BMC Section 38.260.090. parking and drive aisles are not allowed within the
side setbacks but are allowed within the rear setback. Please ensure that, in a
formal submittal, the site is designed to comply with this standard. With the
existing layout, it would appear that the rear setback would apply to the northern
property line and that a side setback would apply to the eastern property line. This
will allow residential adjacent screening be provided along with a pedestrian walk
way along the eastern property line and will allow compliance with all required
setbacks.
Parking is provided in the 20' rear
setback with landscape screening
along the north property line. No
parking or drive aisles are proposed
within the 5' side setback along the
east property line, except for the
driveway crossing the setback as
allowed by BMC 38.260.090.A.3.b.
Landscape screening is also provided
along the side setback.
