Preliminary Planned Residential Development Planning Commission Report; 5-21-19 Page 34 (cont.)  Staff would propose there are four possible ways forward to address this matter: 1. Amend the Workforce housing plan to reduce units as needed to get to a parking ratio of at least 1.87 (the average ratio needed for similar buildings); 2. Require Dominium to negotiate out acquisition of additional land from the Public Works site as may be needed to bring the parking ratio up to at least 1.87; 3. Accept the data and justification as proposed, but require Dominium to provide the City with a surety (i.e. letter of credit) that would cover the cost to increase parking onto the Public Works site if problems arise; or 4. Accept the data and justification as proposed.  Notably, there will be no convenient off-site or on-street parking options available to this building, and there is the opportunity to address any problems that arise moving forward as the public works site and surrounding lands are also redeveloped (presumably) over the next ten years. Required Signage:  The applicants shall erect private drive street signs within the townhome portion of the development, and shall reimburse the City for costs associated with erecting new Municipal street signs as may be needed. Entrance Monument:  The northern monument sign at 7th Street NW is currently proposed to be within the ROW. This sign must be relocated outside of the ROW with the understanding that both signs may need to move to maintain a coordinated look. An alternative solution may be a slight reconfiguration of the sidewalk. The final solution to be worked out with DCAD prior to final plan application.  No monuments are currently shown for either Dominium building. Should monuments be proposed, the location, size, and design shall be subject to DCAD review and approval. Fire Hydrants / Fire Safety:  Fire Hydrants are to be placed at locations approved by Fire Marshal, but shall not be greater than 50 feet from a building fire department connection or more than 30 feet from a roadway. Furthermore, connections shall not be placed in a manner that requires hoses (connected from the hydrant to the fire truck and from the fire truck to the fire department connection) to be placed across a primary ingress/egress route to the location. Streetlights:  Street lighting, as needed, shall be worked out with the City Engineer prior to final plan approval.
