14. In response to Engineering Department comments:
A. A secondary emergency access has been negotiated with Heatheridge
Condominium Association.
B. Definition between public and private streets will be provided probably in the
form of colored and / or patterned concrete, each and every place where public streets
blend into private and vice versa.
C. Turn around designs, parallel parking widths north arrow, scale, vicinity
map, legal description and final survey considerations are being addressed.
D. Geometrics of primary access point have been redesigned.
15. Setback of private drive paralleling West Prospect has been increased and traffic
pattern in this area reconfigured.
16. Storm drainage concerns have been addressed including contours so that storm
drainage can see how grading will work. Meetings with Storm Drainage have been
held to specifically focus on their requirements and needs.
17. Our landscape architect has been advised to review City ordinance #76 relating to
landscape and irrigation design guidelines as ordinance relates to this project's open
space.
I very much look forward to working with various City departments and staff people and
P & Z on this project. I am confident that an attractive, low impact neighborhood can
be created at this location at townhouse densities but without townhouse aesthetics.
The look will be one of a small pedestrian -oriented village with aesthetic streetscapes
and great attention paid to the soft and aesthetic transition from housing to natural
area and from natural area to housing for the mutual benefit of both the residents and
the public.
Sincerty,
Jo ay
Pr d
Enc.
6. Regarding Transportation Department comment, parking requirements will be
looked at very closely with an eye to meeting and exceeding City requirements,
convenient location in relationship to houses and aesthetic design. It is anticipated
that 7' wide street parking spaces will be used for guest parking along streets, which
spaces will be constructed from concrete and will be interrupted by landscaped offsets.
Transportation requirements for vehicles, bicycles and pedestrians both by residents
and guests will be very carefully addressed by Developer with additional review and
input by Transportation.
7. An on -site meeting has been scheduled with Tim Buchanan, City Forester.
8. If the City buys the 7.99 acres (Parcel #2 - see attached plan) south of the ditch and
north of Stuart Street, this will provide important access to entire approximate 35 acre
The Bridges natural area. Furthermore, it provides an opportunity for both public
parking and limited access group parking for this entire natural area, and it provides a
connection to link The Bridges natural area with Rolland Moore park.
9. Responding to Natural Resources comments, Developer will make every effort to
negotiate in good faith with the City and to facilitate the City dialogue with the land
owner in order to achieve the best possible purchase price for City for the 7.99 acres
(Parcel #2 - see attached plan) which the City desires. Following up meetings with
Natural Resources and residents, we now share the view that this is a very important
piece of infill property which completes the east end of The Bridges natural area and
very much enhances the value and utility of this entire approximate 35 acre natural
area, including access, parking and connection to Rolland Moore park. We will price
the property at our cost on a pro rata basis, and will assist the City and Natural
Resources in every way to purchase same.
10. Wetland delineation has been completed as requested.
11. As discussed with Natural Resources, project design will include all storm
drainage and yard run off water to be carried by impervious concrete gutter and
roadway around the entire periphery of the project and then transported into storm
drainage system assuring that water quality and existing native plants and vegetation
will not be impacted by the development.
12. Access for Bridgefield residents to the open space will be by controlled access
gate at the west side of project permitting a tie-in to proposed gravel pathway and
existing bridges immediately to the south of The Bridges townhouses.
13. South lots 1 through 5 have been moved from adjacent to Stuart Street north into
the major portion of project.

RE: Bridgefield / Response to September 13, 1994 Comments
Dear Steve:
1. Utility easements will be marked on plat as requested by Columbine.
2. Developer and Engineering will initiate a Utilities coordination meeting to address
the need for a joint trench for electric, telephone and cable, as requested by
Columbine.
3. Regarding Public Service's comments, gas main sleeving, easement
considerations, tree planting and tree planting requirements will be met and can be
further addressed at Utilities coordination meeting_
4. Fire Department requirements relating to hydrants, bridge and emergency access
will be met. A minimum of 20' clear roadway will be provided for fire trucks and
emergency vehicles. Developer will review specific proposed roadway configurations,
both public and private, with the fire authority.
5. Responding to Light and Power comment, a Utilities coordination meeting will be
held as they requested. At that time or earlier, we can review with them their
recommendations and requirements as to utility routes.
Furthermore, we are very interested in exploring with Light and Power the possibilities
relating to adjusting the street lighting requirements to fit the size, scale and density of
this project through the use of shorter poles, 50 watt bulbs and 50 watt ballasts. We
believe that this can result in energy conservation in the form of a reduction in
operating costs while at the same time increasing the candle power and evenness of
light distribution on the streets.
