07/27/2012: Note #19 on site plan sheet 1 of 5 is confusing. It states that lots 1-25 can be
duplexes or detached single family, but goes on to state that there can be only one unit per lot.
I assume the term "unit" means dwelling unit, and if so, that means there can't be any duplexes
on those lots since that would be 2 units on a lot. If by 'unit' they mean 'building', then that's the
term they should use instead. If 'unit' means 'building', then Note #20 becomes confusing in
that it would mean that 2 single-family dwellings could be on lot 26 and on lot 27.

08/14/2012: The Spring Creek sanitary sewer trunk lines are critical lines in the City's collection
system. At the points where the storm drains are crossing over the trunk lines, the clearances
currently shown on the plans are not adequate. Pothole these trunk sewers at the storm drain
crossing points so that adequate clearance and protection can be designed and added to the
utility plans now.

be 10'. The code requires a 15' miniumum front setback. The proposed 10' setback will
require a modification. The 'Typical Lot' details on the same sheet show similar non -complying

08/17/2012: In addition to the previous comment, on the plat, there needs to be a Tract created
to designate the Sprocket Drive and Ellis Street loop (with then dedication of permanent
easements to the City for utility, drainage, access, and emergency access easement).
Currently the plat appears to show these as public right-of-way, dedicated to the City, which

08/17/2012: The drive approaches for the two private drives intersecting the south side of Ellis
Street and Apex Drive appear to be built as a standard street intersection as evident by the
reference of LCUASS detail 708. These drive approaches need to be concrete to the property
line and be built with the Standard Drive Approach (LCUASS Detail 707). Note #3 on Sheet
C-010 does indicate the use of concrete to the right-of-way, but combining this with 708 instead
of 707 seems confusing.

08/17/2012: Can the possibility be explored of widening Ellis Street out to 36 feet in width
approaching Prospect Road? The wider width would help. create an approach onto Prospect
Road that would better allow a three lane cross-section to function (with right -in, left -out, and
right -out maneuvers). The intent would be that the 36 feet would extend for a short distance past
the intersection such that vehicles at the intersection We've had the 30 feet local street cross
section widened out to 36 feet or larger at arterial intersections in development such as
Pinnacle Townhomes (with Robertson Street at 39 feet), Lemay Avenue Estates, Sidehill and
Observatory Village. It appears that since additional right-of-way occurs on the west side of Ellis
Street, it may not be as impactive to accommodate this widening.

that I have discussed this with Peter Barnes and we agree that Section 3.5.2(D)(2)(a)
supersedes the requirement for a 15 foot minimum front setback. This is because Lots 18 - 25
