used and would necessitate that this drive function as a one-way.
If it is to be one-way, traffic directional signs would be needed
at the northeast corner of the building to ensure that circulation
is not a problem.

data, or a copy of the site plan needs to be included in the
utility plans for reference, so this information is available to
the contractor and City inspectors.

agreement.

Clarification is needed on the future expansion area. Is
approval being sought for this area now, or will it be submitted in
the future for further review? If approval is sought now, we will
need building elevations to address the expansion. If approval is
not being sought, a note clarifying this, should be added to the
site plan.
The maximum building height should be noted on the site plan.

Revised plans and documents addressing the above comments should be
submitted to my office by Tuesday, March 23, so we may schedule the
hearing for this request during the week of April 5. I will need
three (3) copies of the revised site and landscape plans. After
the hearing, there is a 14-day appeal period, after which, final
processing of plans can occur. Please call me if you have any
questions regarding these comments, or if you would like to meet to
discuss our comments.

Dear Allen:
We have completed our review of At Home Professions IP Site Plan
and have the following comments:
1. Review of these plans by US.West should not be construed as a
commitment that telephone facilities sufficient to serve this
project are presently available. US West will provide service in
accordance with the rates and tariffs on file with the Colorado
PUC. The owner is responsible for provision of all trench and
conduit and the owner provides terminal room space and power for
the main terminal at the building. The owner's vendor provides all
facilities beyond the main terminal. Contact the US West engineer
for conduit specs for the main telephone entrance cable. Any
relocation of existing telephone facilities required by these plans
will be paid for by the developer.
'f 2. The minimum requirement of 6% of parking and drive areas being
in landscaped islands has not been met. An additiona 430 quare
feet (for a total of 1,389 square feet - 6% of 23,153 square feet)
in landscaped islands is needed. If there were fewer parking
spaces on the site, the amount of landscaped islands would be
reduced. As designed, there appears to be an over abundance of
parking for this type of land use.
The Parking Code requires that "vehicular use areas" (parking
and drives) be screened from the street by a landscape treatment of
sufficient height and opacity to block at least 20% of the cross-
section view of the parking area from the street. This requirement
has not been addressed for the east, south or west edges of the
property. A combination of berming and plant materials could
achieve this requirement.
Berm height needs to be noted on the landscape plan.
We recommend that the foundation plantings along the north and
west sides of the building be changed to include materials with
year-round coverage and interest.'
