Please provide justification for the points taken in the Bonus section of the Residential
Density Chart. The points taken for Bonus criteria m, n, p, and q are very difficult to
understand and support. How much area is being considered "recreational use" and how
does that meet the City's definition of Recreational Space in the L.D.G. S.? What areas)
are considered to be "permanent off -site open space" and how can this percentage be so
high? How will the commitment to this be assured? What neighborhood facilities and
services not otherwise required by City code are being proposed? How will the
commitment to a percentage of the dwelling units to be for low income families be
assured? Base criterion j - contiguity to existing urban development - cannot be varied.
The density chart will have to be discussed thoroughly. Staff has concerns about whether
this development can meet the minimum requirements based on the location of the
proposed development at this time and place.
4. The Vicinity Map on the Site Plan shows a potential connection to Serramonte Highlands
but the subdivision plat does not.
What is the intent for and who owns the "public access"?
The Stormwater Utility has concerns about the wetlands. They appear to be perched,
with no outlets. Are basements being planned? Groundwater infiltration may be a problem.
A hydrologic study maybe should be done now. The affected ditch company will have to
approve and sign the utility plans.
This completes the review comments at this time. Additional comments may be forthcoming as
the various departments and reviewing agencies continue to review this request. Please be aware
of the following dates and deadlines to assure your ability to stay on schedule for the August 21,
1995 Planning and Zoning Board hearing:
Plan revisions are due no later than the end of the working day, August 3, 1995. Please
contact me for the number of folded revisions required for each document.

rendering (one each colored full-size Site u Landscape Plan and Building Elevations), and

Dear Jim,
The following comments for the Hoffman O.D.P. and the Hoffman P.U.D., Preliminary are in
addition to the comments dated July 12, 1995 that were previously sent to you:
Overall Development Plan:
Public Service Company has stated that easement widths adjacent to County Road
rights -of -way and internal streets must be adequate for all utilities.
Preliminary P.U.D.:
The following comments have been received from Public Service Company:
a. Utility easement widths adjacent to street rights -of -way must be such that from the
back of walk to the rear line of the easement is 13' minimum.
b. Utility easements adjacent to rights -of -way must also be along all tracts, as well as
.all lots.
C. Any reroute/abandonment of existing PSC facilities due to this development will be
at the developer's expense.
2. Columbine CableVision has stated that "marked in pink are the areas we will need utility
easements. We would also need the tracts marked in blue as open space and utility
easements". They are obviously referring to a document that I do not seem to have. I
would suggest contacting Dennis Greenwalt at the cable company for clarification on this
comment.
