SUP Review: Big Blue Box & A Tree Service Planning Commission Report; 6-16-20 Page 7 Lot Access:  The access points to the property will not change from existing conditions. Water System(s):  The site has access to Municipal water, and there are no engineering or public works concerns regarding the new use and water usage. Sanitary System(s):  The site has access to Municipal sewer, and there are no engineering or public works concerns regarding the new use and sewer usage. Storm water / Grading / Erosion:  The potential of outdoor storage to impact the adjacent County Ditch #2 is of primary concern in this review, and the use of “existing jersey barriers” may not sufficiently prevent future problems. The applicants should come to agreement with DCAD staff on a final solution that can/will be effective over the long-term. Additional perimeter control around all stockpiles will be required.  Engineering has examined existing grades, and does not find any reason to require changes to the site to accommodate stormwater; however, the applicant shall address stormwater concerns if unforeseen issues arise (or become foreseeable) as a result of the on-site storage.  Because the site is not paved, vehicle tracking of dirt into the ROW is evident with existing uses, and the problem is presumed to get worse should these new uses be approved. As a condition of approval, the applicant must either make improvements to the site to keep tracking from being a problem, or must agree to paying for street sweeping services whenever directed to do so by the City. Signage  Sign changes on the building and/or site will need to be reviewed and approved via a separate sign permitting process. Fire/Safety:  Engineering reviewed the plans and expressed concerns about storage containers and trailers will be accessed and moved. Additional information showing the access route was requested of the applicant, and should be agreed upon with DCAD staff prior to any container storage commencing. Hours of Operations:  Not applicable. Neither use will cater to daily customers coming on-site. Per the applicant’s narrative, “We do not sell anything on site, all material are resold and delivered to clients.”
