Summary
NOW, THEREFORE, Be it ordained by the Council of the City of Toledo:
SECTION 1. That a request for an amendment to a Special Use Permit for a Gas Station and Convenience store for a site located at 3023 Dorr Street, City of Toledo, Lucas County, Ohio; be and the same is hereby approved, subject to the conditions contained in Section 2 hereof which must be complied with, as to the property more fully described as follows:
The South 115 feet of the North 775 feet of the East 200 feet of the West 230 feet of that part of the West 1/2 of the Northwest 1/4 of Section 2, Town 2 in the Unites States Reserve of 12 miles square at the foot of the Rapids of the Miami of Lake Erie in the City of Toledo, Lucas County, Ohio, lying East of the centerline of the Holland-Sylvania Road.
SECTION 2. That the approval of the amendment to a Special Use Permit for a Gas Station and Convenience store for a site located at 3023 Dorr Street, City of Toledo, Lucas County, Ohio; shall be subject to compliance with the 32 conditions as follows:
The following thirty-two (32) conditions are listed by agency of origin. Applicants are encouraged to contact each of the agencies to address compliance with their conditions.
Division of Engineering Services
1. A pre-submittal meeting is not required, however one may be requested. Contact information is as follows:
Division of Engineering Services: ph. 419-245-1315, fax 419-936-2850
Right-of-Way and Inspection: 419-245-1341
Roadway: 419-245-1344
Water: 419-936-2163
Stormwater Drainage: 419-245-3221; 419-245-1338
Sanitary Sewers: 419-936-2276
2. All proposed sidewalk, drive approaches, curb, and pedestrian curb ramps within the public right-of-way shall be constructed in accordance with the City of Toledo Construction Standards, Specifications, Toledo Municipal Code, and Americans with Disabilities Act guidelines.
3. All commercial drive approaches, (along with the sidewalk through the drive) shall be constructed with 8" thick concrete per City of Toledo Construction Standards and Specifications. No curb shall be permitted in the right-of-way along either side of a drive approach.
4. Required permits for all approved work in the public right-of-way shall be obtained, before work begins, from One Stop Shop, (419) 245-1220.
Contact Joe Warnka at (419) 245-1341 for inspection of above mentioned items.
5. Brookley Blvd is an unimproved, uncurbed street. There is no formal gutter flow line; stormwater drainage flows down the street at the edge of pavement (EOP). A new drive approach on an unimproved street could impede the drainage flow path at the EOP and create a nuisance of stagnant backed up storm drainage. To minimize the chance of creating this condition, be aware that the approach detail showing a raised lip for the concrete approach at the EOP is not required. Rather, the concrete at the EOP can be flush or even set lower compared to the asphalt.
6. Flow at the EOP appears to flow from south to north, from the 98.83 elevation at the southwest corner of the proposed drive approach to the 98.62 elevation at the northwest. The 98.40 elevation in between means that a 2" deep puddle will result in the middle of the approach. Resubmit a minor revision to Engineering Services that shows grading for positive flow across the approach.
7. A catch basin (CB) exists at the corner of Dorr and Brookley. Consider extending a new storm line, or a perforated underdrain from the CB to the south limit of the proposed drive approach to provide drainage for any impounded water that forms there. If such work is added to the project, submit permit drawings for approval to the stormwater engineer.
8. Owner may be required to remove and reinstall the drive approach if nuisance drainage condition results from inattention to above drainage concerns.
Sewer & Drainage Services
9. S&DS requires that all private sewer lines that are not being removed or properly abandoned (both storm & sanitary) be cleaned and inspected.
10. S&DS requires that the private sanitary lines (after they have been cleaned) that are not being removed or properly abandoned be televised from the building (or private cleanout) to where they connect with the public sewer system if this has not been done in the past (2) two years. An electronic copy (DVD/memory stick) shall be provided to Sewer & Drainage Services demonstrating the lines cleaning and integrity.
