If the City"s concerns cannot otherwise be addressed, JPT has enmmi d tn -installing pumps -in each building. 3. Qpahard/Landscaping. In separate meetings, you and I met today with representatives of the Skyline Mobile Home Park. You raised a concern that the plans submitted by JPI did not include landscaping in the area around the tennis courts. JPI has indicated that it would be willing to install landscaping between the tennis/basketball courts and Skyline. Skyline has also tentatively advised that it would allow the installation of the landscaping on the Skyline side of the boundary line rather than on JPV s property. JPI has agreed that it will install landscaping on the boundary line in the area of the tennis and basketball courts either on its property or on Skyline's property. This Issue will be resolved prior to final review. Skyline also raised a concern that the area of Orchard to be located on the Skyline property may not be currently dedicated to the City. It appears that there has been a dedication. I understand that it would not be feasible to align Orchard other that: in the location shown and that if there has been no dedication, it may be a necessity to condemn the property in question. At this juncture, JPI tells me that they are reconfirming that Orchard has been dedicated, and I would anticipate providing you with the dedication information by tomorrow. If you have additional concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me. Sincerely yours, ,MARCH & MYATT, P.C. J.

MAI.CM IDOY-IwW MAILING ADDRESS: R n F}OX AM" TORT COLLIN0. 1�0 AOR20.0460 VIA FAX T9 221-6378 This letter is intended to follow up our discussions of March lx, 1996 related to the Jefferson Commons project. You indicated that the staff had immediate concerns about the project which needed to be addressed. I have addressed those issues with JPI and the involved City personnel, and this letter is intended to provide answers to the concerns. 1. Storm Drainage Calculations. Basil Hamdan raised concerns that the drainage associated with basin 66 was overlooked in the calculations submitted in the storm drainage model. Scott Queen with Ayres Engineering and Mr. Hamdan spoke this afternoon, and I understand that Ayres will provide storm drainage with a new model by 8:30 tomorrow morning and storm drainage will attempt to review the model and confirm that the drainage issue has been resolved by noon. 2. Water Pressure. Patrick Rhamey of JPI, JPI's engineer and I spoke with Roder Buffington regarding the water pressure issues. Apparently a concern has been raised that there may be insufficient water pressure for fire sprinklers. Mr. Buffington acknowledged that there may be a number of ways in which this issue could be addressed but that the issue clearly could be addressed by installing individual pumps in each building. Maintenance of these pumps would be the private responsibility of the owner of the project as opposed to being the responsibility of the City. At this juncture, I understand that the City and JPI are continuing to evaluate whether there is sufficient pressure to serve the project without installation of pumps and also are evaluating the Possibility of installing a single private pump to serve the project as a whole. Notwithstanding the potential alternative options, Mr. Buffington acknowledges that individual pumps certainly would address the fire pressure issue and that the other 30Vd 6E0£Z8b066 'QI Od SZVAN QNV HONVN :NOMA 0I'LL 96-Zi-NIdN
