The plans were prepared <br /> by BDM Consulting Engineers and were received at City Hall on August 1, 2003. The revised plans <br /> appear to address all of the issues raised in the review of the original submittal. The following two issues <br /> deserve slightly more discussion: <br /> 1. The plan showing how the existing restaurant will operate while the new building is <br /> • constructed shows diagonal parking adjacent to the existing building. This diagonal parking <br /> should be restriped to create head-in parking so that customers can drive in, park in the stalls, <br /> and then reverse their courses as they leave the site. Also, we suggest that the orange <br /> warning fence shown between the new construction site and the existing restaurant be a <br /> permanent barrier during construction of the new facility. This fence should not be broken for <br /> any construction activities or delivery of materials. All construction-related activity should <br /> happen south of the orange warning fence. <br /> 2. We have discussed with the developer the potential need for additional right-of-way along <br /> Dodge Avenue. Dodge Avenue is approximately twenty years old. When the plat of <br /> Barrington Place was originally developed, Dodge Avenue was platted with 50 feet of right-of- <br /> way. When the Indy-Lube site was developed east of KFC, an additional ten feet of right-of- <br /> way was granted along its frontage. We had requested consideration for additional right-of- <br /> way from KFC's developers, and they have elected not to provide it at this time. However, <br /> additional right-of-way will likely be needed when Dodge Avenue is reconstructed sometime in <br /> the future. <br /> If you have any questions regarding either of these issues, please call. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Howard R.
