This development needs to work with the developers of Spring Creek Center in
accomplishing the improvements that are needed at the midpoint timberline intersection
to accommodate truck traffic at this intersection. improvements to this intersection will be a
condition of approval. (per Traffic) Plans for this improvemew will need to be provided and approved prior to
final approval of this project if they have not already been received and approved.
106
Once this project has gone to hearing (assuming one building and only one building can be built) the Final Plan
submittal will need to only show the work and infrastructure for the one building to be built. All extra stuff and other
building sites and services will need to be taken off of the plans. Can only put in the infrastructure for the one building.
Because of the APF issues only 1 building can be built - so only 1 building can receive final approval. Thus only that
building that receives final approval and its associated needs (sidewalk, parking lot services, driveway, etc) can be built.
The rest can not be built or shown on the approved it will not have final approval. When the other building or buildings
can be built they will need to come in for final approval with their own set or sets of plans for the improvements needed
to serve that building(s).
107
Will need a letter of intent from the adjacent property owner for the off -site easement prior to being scheduled for a
hearing.
128
If any of the proposed uses are changed - the traffic studies will need to be updated.
Topic: Site Plan
35
Show the future 7-foot sidewalk along Timberline Road. It would be best to not have dual walks along here.
Widen out the 5-foot walk on site to meet the 7-foot standard or build and use the 7-foot walk to meet the
connection needs you are showing. 5/7/02 Need to show the sidewalk as being built - it will be needed to
connect to building B if that is the building to be built. Will need a sidewalk connection that does not cross a
drive isle.
Topic: Utility plans

See plans for additional comments.
102
All work within the Platte River Power Authority non -buildable easement needs to be approved by Platte River power
Authority. They will need to sign the plans showing they approve of the work and improvements shown within their
easement.

The drainage re rt arbitrarily reduces the overtopping flows from 417 cfs to 350 cfs based on -spills that would darin'
back into Spr' g Creek and then further reduces the flows onto the site to 20% of the leftover flows or roughly 70 cfs. In
order to r uce these flows a hydraulic study that shows where the flows would cross Timberline is needed the City
can accept these flow number reductions based on simple assumptions that are not supported by documentation.

Third Review
July 30, 2002
There must be a note on the plan indicating clearly what is to be done with reseeding and mulching. Your note explains
what the calculations in the report are for. It should say something to the effect that all disturbed areas not immediately
landscaped must be reseeded and mulched.
Please indicate that the detention area is to be utilized as a sediment trap (gravel filter, overexcavation, whatever)
during construction.

Previous note #2 is not addressed. -- jf A1C -it {JAr N COVV �� LA. Q
Topic: Mite Flows
122
Please note that this comment is critical for the approval of this project and has yet to be adequately addressed. The
report states that the low point in the railroad is 100 feet west of Timberline, that is correct however the Spring Creek
Master Plan model shows that the 417 cfs flows from the low area on the west side of Timberline eventually makes it
across Timberline. A more detailed hydraulic modeling study is needed to assess how much of that total would make it
across this site and what portion of it simply goes down Midpoint or goes north and will continue to do so. If the
proposal is to channel the flows that would currently make it to your site north along Timberline, you need to analyze
how these flows will make it into the Spring Creek channel without raising the flood depths in Timberline, or increasing
the flooding potential on the adjacent property to the north. Another option is to take the flows that currently make it
onto this site through and discharge them downstream without causing any adverse impact to neighboring properties.
A detailed hydraulic analysis of the spill across Timberline was done by Northern Engineering in conjunction with the
analysis of the site to the north. However a spill of 75 cfs was modeled, per the old rainfall flows. Much of the basic
survey information can be used to analyze the spill with the new 417 cfs flow numbers.

Because the ultimate east edge of Timberline Road adjacent to this property is not yet determined the Summit Ash
street trees as shown should be moved to the east, 7' off of the west edge of the future 7' wide sidewalk. This will
minimize potential adverse impacts to the trees. Please see the red -lined Landscape Plan.
117
The westernmost Marshall's Ash street tree along Midpoint Drive may have to be eliminated due to the possibility that
the turning radius from Timberline Road into Midpoint Drive may have to be increased, potentially impacting that tree.
129
A copy of a letter received from Tom McCormick of the Platte River Power Authority is attached to this comment letter.
His letter deals primarily with the type of some of the plant materials located within their easement and with safety
concerns associated with the location of trash enclosures relative to their easement.
Topic: Site Plan
101
The Burlington Northern Railroad, along the southwest side of this site, is now the Great Western Railroad.
112
The proposed amount of new parking spaces on Lots 1 & 2 is 28 spaces over what is allowed by the Land Use Code,
based on the parking analysis on the plan. When calculating industrial parking allowances (0.75 spaces per employee)
the number of employees should be multiplied by 0.75, not divided.
114
There are two separate trash enclosure locations shown on the south side of Building B on Lot 1. Are both of these
trash enclosures needed?
Topic: zoning
124
The Site Plan indicates, under the BUILDING USE DATA and Parking Analysis, that there is to be General Retail uses
in Buildings A, B, and C. The E - Employment Zoning District does not permit General Retail unless it is located in a
Convenience Shopping Center. The Centerpoint Plaza development does not meet the definition of, nor will it function
as, a Convenience Shopping Center. The proposed retail uses could be defined as "accessory uses" to principal
(primary) uses if they meet the following definition:
"Accessory use shall mean a use of land or of a building or portion thereof customarily used with, and clearly
incidental and subordinate to, the principal use of the land or building and ordinarily located on the same lot with
such principal use."
The way the General Retail uses are identified on the Site Plan would indicate that they are intended to be principal
(primary) uses not associated with the office or industrial uses. Please refer to Peter Barnes comment (#119) in this
comment letter.

Will need an off -site easement for the driveway construction at the northeast corner of the site.

As was previously discussed this development can provide the city with a cash escrow
for the design and construction of the local street portion of the improvements to
Timberline Road adjacent to the site in lieu of doing this work at this time.

The Current Planning Department comments are on red -lined Site, Landscape, Building
Elevations, and Lighting Plans that are being forwarded to the applicant.
Topic: General
113
The Traffic Operations Department is evaluating and determining if either Building A or Building B can be constructed
under the Adequate Public Facilities regulation in the Land Use Code. Definitely only one building can move forward
and submit Final Compliance Plans for that portion of the development. The Final Compliance Plans shall reflect only
the building, associated parking, and improvements for that building requesting final approval.
115
City staff will not be supporting the Alternative Compliance Request for the "phase 1" parking for either Building A or
Building B. Continuous paved access for emergency and service/delivery vehicles can be made for either Building A or
Building B without constructing all the parking spaces. Please see Diagrams 1 & 2 that are being forwarded with this
comment letter.
130
Depending on what is outcome determined regarding the General Retail land use issue, the Transportation Impact
Analysis may have to be modified to reflect traffic impacts associated with this proposed development and how this
affects the Adequate Public Facilities issue.
Topic: Landscape Plan
108
The landscaping on Lot 1, around Buildings A & B and in the landscaped islands, has been decreased significantly from
the first submittal. Why is this?
109
The loading/service area south of Building B is unscreened from Timberline Road. Landscaping meeting the screening
requirements of the Land Use Code is needed.
110
More landscape screening is needed around the 2 trash enclosures south of Building B. See the red -lined Landscape
Plan.
ill
Note #13 on the Landscape Plan must indicate that the security for the landscaping is for the materials and installation.
Please see the red -lined Landscape Plan.
