Additional comments will be forthcoming as they are received from City departments and outside reviewing agencies.

A signing & striping plan may be needed. The.applicant's engineer should coordinate this with Mark McCallum. 14. The correct name of the project should be included in paragraph 6 of the Statement of Ownership on the subdivision plat. The Harmony Village PUD is not the name of this project. 15. There are inconsistencies between the utility plans and the Landscape Plan. These must be corrected. 16. The street trees must be in the street right-of-way versus being in utility/drainage easements. 17. There is patterned concrete (as an enhanced cross -walk) at the north entry to the project from Troutman Parkway. The City will not replace the patterned concrete in the street right-of-way portion of this entry if repair work is needed. Plannino 18. The applicant should talk to the owners of the Somerset Apartments about the possibility of making a pedestrian connection between the two developments. 19. Building D is oriented to a public street and sidewalk; however, the sidewalk connections do not meet the primary entrance within 200' requirement as set forth in Section 3.5.2(C)(1) in the LUC. A request for a modification of the standard would be needed if the standard is not met. 20. Additional comments are included on a red -lined set of Site, Landscape, and Building Elevation Plans. 21. The request for a modification of standard 3.2.2(K)(1) regarding the on -site parking ratio has been received and is being reviewed. Although the numbers pertaining to other Kaufman & Broad projects look good on paper, the outstanding question (from the City's perspective) is still what will happen if this project does not remain a senior citizen housing development? What long term guarantee does the developer give to ensure that the parking needs will not increase substantially in the future? Transportation Planning (Kathleen Reavis) 22. There should be the potential for pedestrian connections from this project to the Somerset Apartments to the east and the West property to the south. There is an existing parking lot, with sidewalks, between two buildings in the Somerset Apartments that is just adjacent to this property. It would be possible to make a break in the fence or.install a gate and provide a pedestrian connection between 6.

This project now proposes to utilize off -site detention in the pond on the Home Depot site. The drainage report must analyze water flows down JFK Parkway and the capacity of the drainage infrastructure between this site and the Home Depot site. The stormwater flows are still in question. 10. How is this project addressing water quality and the capacity of the downstream drainage facilities? Stormwater's previous comments have not been addressed. This development request is not ready to be scheduled for a public hearing. Engineering (Mark McCallum) 11. The driveway access to the Parkway Townhomes on the west side of JFK Parkway is now shown on the plans -However, the access to this site must align with the Parkway Townhomes access or the applicant must submit a request for a variance to this requirement. , 12.

Representatives of the Zoning Department offered the following comments: a. Remove construction plans and details (Sheets 2, 4, and 5). This information should be submitted at the time of building permit application, not with the PDP review. b. Remove the ground sign location from the Site Plan. C. On the building elevations, instead of referring to the buildings by number of bedrooms, refer to the buildings by their letter designation (A, B, C, D, E). d. Show building envelope and dimensions for the 8 unit Building D, with relative distance to the nearest property line. Also, give dimensions of the swimming pool. e. Irrigation details do not need to be part of the PDP plan review. f. Note #6 on the Site Plan says the parking stalls are 9'x17', but the plan shows them to be 18' deep. Need to clarify which is correct? g. Several different building sizes are shown. Does one elevation represent all of them? Also, a rear building elevation is needed. h. It appears that a number of the comments from the second review have not been addressed. Please address each issue prior to submitting for further review. Please contact Jenny or Gary at 221=6760 if you have questions about these comments. 5.
