25 <br />24. Need to revisit private road standards. <br />25. There's a lack of land use criteria for reserving school sites. Need some general <br />guidelines (i.e. not in wetlands or on slopes greater than X). Consult County School <br />Joint Construction Standards. <br />26. Relation to adjacent properties is not addressed -- Section 7.13.3 (C) (1) <br />27. Is there any limit to building height? Flag for future. <br />28. Are there provisions for shared driveways? It may be useful in certain cases (i.e. along <br />highways/major roadways). <br />29. Many places in the UDO have a restriction on the height of a building. While residential <br />structures tend to have 9 to 12 feet per floor, commercial structures can have as much <br />as 15 feet per floor. As the structure covers more area, the roof can have a substantial <br />amount of height to it if it is not a flat roof. Architectural details such as facades and <br />cupolas can affect the height. <br />30. My comment is this: Would it make more sense to specify the number of occupied <br />stories as a limit on the structure? An occupied story would not include attic space or <br />utility rooms- it would be space occupied by people working in the structure. Page 3-44 <br />and page 4-18 are examples of where this specification occurs. Note that the height <br />limitations that change with additional setback could be used as a maximum height such <br />that either a (for example) 3 story limit _OR_ the maximum height based on setback <br />would be the height limit for the building. An example of this setback based number is <br />found at the top of page 6-2. I would also add in (not sure where) than any building <br />whose height exceeds the apparatus or ladder height restrictions of the fire departments <br />which would respond to a structure fire would be required to be sprinklered. <br />31. There are various metal vapor lights, the most common being Mercury and Sodium <br />vapor. It would be nice to know why Mercury is being singled out. In particular, is it the <br />presence of Mercury (i.e. environmental) or is it the use of a specific type of fixture such <br />as the yard lights utilities sell that is the concern. If the concern is environmental, then <br />would it not also apply to all fluorescent lights which use mercury? <br />32. We have incandescent, metal vapor, fluorescent which is mercury and a phosphorous}, <br />and LED. Each has a different lumens per watt rating. If light is being regulated, lumens <br />should be the standard. Also, be aware that any light with a reflector will put out mare <br />light in a certain direction than a light with no reflector. As such, lumens is still a weak <br />measure of light output but it is what is on the packaging for all lights and is easier to <br />work with than getting into the amount of light energy per unit area type measurements <br />candles}. As a rule of thumb, incandescent runs 5 to 30 lumenslwatt, and LEDs run 60 <br />to 110 lumenslwatt. <br />33. The limits under section ~c} "General Operations" and fie} "Use of Accessory Structures" <br />severely limit what a home occupation can do. <br />34. Somewhere in the Standards for Residential Uses or Development Standards there <br />should be a section that specifies minimum residential driveway sizes of 12 feet wide by <br />14 feet vertical clearance (already stated in 7.8.5 (B) (15) on page 7-32) for fire <br />apparatus. This is the cleared width of the driveway, not the width of gravel or paving. <br />35. The travel-way width for Class B with 2 lots should be specified as 12 feet of cleared <br />space, no standard for width of gravel or hard surface. <br />A-3 <br />
