r-.
Again, the Commission is faced with the decision of whether or not to waive
the Rural Development Standards for a rural subdivision. An annexation
policy, a means by which to clearly determine those areas within the two
mile extraterritorial area that may or may not be annexed, does not exist.
It is critical that the Commission, within the near future, establish some
type of guidelines by which to make these decisions.
Regarding the subject subdivision, the Commission may wish to waive the provisions
with regard to streets in the Rural Development Standards. The development
lies entirely within Old Man's Creek watershed, a watershed which the Commission
has previously considered as an area not likely to be annexed because of its
difficulty in sewering and its being located west of the proposed Highway 218
bypass. As a matter of policy, the Commission has not required subdivisions
within the Old Man's Creek watershed to meet the provisions of the City's
Stormwater Management Ordinance. Until the Commission decides on a rational
means by which to apply the Rural Development Standards the staff will recommend
that the Standards be applied to all areas within the City's two mile
extraterritorial control area with exception of stormwater management in Old
Man's Creek watershed.
RECOMMENDATION
The staff recommends that action on the plat be deferred. The staff further
recommends that upon revision of the plat incorporating the deficiencies and
discrepancies noted below, the plat be approved and that stornwater management
be waived.
DEFICIENCIES AND DISCREPANCIES
1. Lot lines should be extended to the center line of Rohret Road and
dimensioned.
2. The angle of intersection for Meade Place with Rohret Road should be
shown and radii indicated.
3. The right-of-way width for the turn -around should be consistent with
that of the street, i.e., both to be sixty feet.
4. The streets do not comply with the Rural Design Standards, i.e., twenty-
two B -B with six inches of concrete or eight inches of asphalt.
5. A fire rating should be established for the subdivision.
6. Prior to preliminary plat approval there should be a letter of trans-
mittal from the appropriate fire protection district approving spacing,
location, number of fire hydrants, size of water mains, pressure, etc.

EXITS
Sec. 1112. (a) General. Each tenant space and the covered mall building
shall be provided with exits as required by this Section and Chapter 33
of this Code. Where there is a conflict between the requirements of
Chapter 33 and the requirements of this Section, the requirements of
this Section shall apply.
(b) Determination of Occupancy Load. The occupant load permitted in
any individual tenant space in a covered mall building shall be de-
termined as required by Section 3301(d) of this Code. Exit require-
ments for individual tenant spaces shall be based on the occupant load
thus determined.
The occupant load permitted for the covered mall building, assuming
all portions, including individual tenant spaces and the mall to be
occupied at the same time, shall be determined by dividing the gross
leasable area by 30 for covered mall buildings containing up to 150,000
square feet of gross leasable area; by 40 for covered mall buildings
& containing between 150,001 and 350,000 square feet of gross leasable
area, and by 50 for covered mall buildings containing more than 350,000
square feet of gross leasable area. Exit requirements for the covered
mall building shall be based on the occupant load thus determined.
j
! The occupant load of anchor stores opening into the mall need not be
included in computing the total number of occupants for the mall.
t
i (c) Number of Exits. Each individual tenant space in covered mall
buildings shall be provided with the number of exits required by Sec-
tion 3302(a) of this Code. In addition to the requirements of Sec -
3302(a), whenever the distance of travel to the mall within any tenant
i space used by persons other than employees exceeds 75 feet, not less
than two exits shall be provided.
(d) Arrangement of Exits. Group A, Divisions 1, 2 and 2.1 Occupancies,
other than drinking and dining establishments, shall be so located in
the covered mall building that their entrance will be immediately
adjacent to a principal entrance to the mall and shall have not less
than one-half of their required exits opening directly to the exterior
i of the covered mall building.
Required exits for anchor stores shall be provided independently from
the mall exit system.
The occupant load of anchor stores opening into the mall shall not be
included in determining exit requirements for the mall.
Malls shall not exit through anchor stores. Malls terminating at an
anchor store where no other means of exit has been provided shall be
considered as a dead end mall.
(e) Distance to Exits. Within each individual tenant space in a covered
mall building the maximum distance of travel from any point to an ex-
terior exit door, horizontal exit, exit passageway, enclosed stairway
or entrance to the mall shall not exceed 200 feet.

The maximum distance of travel from any point within a mall to an exterior
exit door, horizontal exit, exit passageway, or an enclosed stairway
shall not exceed 200 feet.
(f) Access to Exits. When more than one exit is required, they shall
be so arranged that it is possible to go in either direction from any
point in a mall to a separate exit, except for dead ends not exceeding
a length equal to twice the width of the mall measured at the narrowest
location within the dead-end portion of the mall.
The minimum width of exit from a mall shall be 66 inches.
When exit passageways are present to provide a secondary exit from a
tenant space, doors to the exit passageway shall be one-hour fire doors.
Such doors shall be self-closing and be so maintained or shall be auto-
matica closing by smoke detection.
Storage is prohibited in exit passageways which are also used for service
to the tenants. Such exit passageways shall be posted with conspicuous
signs so stating.
(g) Malls. For the purpose of providing required egress, malls may be
considered as corridors, but need not comply with the requirements of
Sections 3304(g) and 3304(h) of this Code when the width of mall is as
specified in this Section.
The minimum width of a mall shall be 20 feet. There shall be a minimum
of 10 feet clear width to a height of 8 feet between any projection from
a tenant space bordering the mall and the nearest kiosk, vending machine,
bench, display, or other obstruction to egress. The mall shall be suf-
ficient to accommodate the occupant load immediately tributary thereto.
Malls which do not conform to the requirements of this Section shall
comply with the requirements of Sections 3304(g) and 3304(h) of this
Code.
(h) Security Grills and Doors. Horizontal sliding or vertical security
grills or doors which are a part of a required means of egress shall
conform to the following:
1. They must remain secured in the full open position during the period
of occupancy by the general public.
2. Doors or grills shall not be brought to the closed position when
there are more than 10 persons occupying spaces served by a single
exit or 50 persons occupying spaces served by more than one exit.
3. The doors or grills shall be openable from within without the use
of any special knowledge or effort when the space is occupied.
4. When two or more exits are required, not more than one-half of
the exits may be equipped with horizontal sliding or vertical
rolling grills or doors.
