Dear Frank:
Staff has reviewed the Park South PUD Master Plan and Preliminary Phase
Plan A and have the following comments to make:
Master Plan
VT There is an existing 4" gas line parallel to the south line of Horsetooth
Road at 15' south of the southern right-of-way line. Utility easements will
need to be provided for this existing gas line on any future rep.lats.
L2/ With the proposed change in use of the northern portion of the site,
previous run-off calculations and detention requirements will need to be
re-evaluated.
I The city's Traffic Engineer is requesting additional information in the
Vj traffic impact analysis and is working directly with the project traffic
(vim consultant. Specific traffic concerns relate to the proposed two points of
��J nr�lbu access along Horsetooth (only one should be shown and should incorporate
a decel lane) and the need for a right turn bay at Manhattan, as well as
the overall impact on area streets.
The planning objectives shown lon the site plan need. #,o reflect "54" lots,
rather than 55.
117511' The remainder of note 6 regarding the intent/expectations of master plans
needs to be added.
The phasing schedule for phase twp needs to be defined.
Clarification of "private community) services" is needed in note 5.
The proposed land use categories need to be broken out to define what
falls under the heading of "commercial, office and retail". Definition is
needed for "seasonal uses".

Many of the proposed uses appear to be regional in nature and therefore,
may be inappropriate for this site. Included are hotels/motels, hospitals,
indoor theatres, printing & newspaper offices, warehouse & storage
facilities, boat... showrooms & repair and builder's supplies. Staff questions
the inclusion of these uses as potential uses in a neighborhood -oriented
commercial/retail project.
10.
Additional information regarding the buffering intent and proposed
building height in the northwest corner of the site should be provided.
Suggestions include a minimum buffer width dimension and a limit to
building height along the western portion of phase E as a means of
providing adequate separation between existing residential uses and the
proposed commercial/office uses.
Phase A, Preliminary
tXWater
mains exist and are available in Manhattan and Horsetooth. A
sanitary sewer main is available in the southeast corner of the property.,
A water main is also existing in Dennison west of the property. The main
in Dennison should be looped to the main in Manhattan.
I/�
Light and Power facilities are existing along a portion of Dennison and
`�
along the easterly cul-de-sac
g y (previously called Stream Ct.). It appears that
most, if not all, of this system will need to be removed or abandoned to
accommodate the replat. The cost of reworking the electric system will be
at the developer's expense.
'u13!
t
The existing sewer main, behind the south curb of the revised Stream Court
may require special considerations when Light and Power designs the
electric system. If additional costs are encountered by Light and Power to
work around the sewer main, these costs will be passed on to the devel-
oper.
Some
411
of the existing water and sewer services now line up with the lot
lines of this plap. If these services are utilized, or otherwise preclude the
installation of Light and Power equipment, the additional costs will be
passed on to the developer.

5.
The rear easement on lots ' 8,9,21,22,23,24,25,26,27,28,&29 is all drainage
ditch. An additional 8' easement is needed for utilities. All 5' easements
should be increased to 6'.
Any variance to engineering standards needs to be in written form and
prepared by a registered professional engineer.
7 7.
Some dimensions on the site plan do not match engineering drawings.
These plans need to be coordinated and matched.
Access ramps at sidewalks need to be shown.

along Manhattan and needs to be incorporated with the existing street
design.
% 10. The potential for street naming and addressing problems exists with the
design of Dennison. Coordination with staff regarding this situation is
necessary.
�! 11. A landscape plan addressing the Manhattan frontage, as well as landscape
intent for individual lots must be submitted. The issue of maintenance of
landscaping along Manhattan must also be clarified.
j,,12/ Street names should be shown on the site plan.
1 The area of each lot should be shown on the plat.
L,IA:'-A note that all signs must comply with the sign code should be placed on
the site plan.
1-1
�A. Staff would encourage a 20' frontyard setback, rather than a 15' setback.
i
IA note should be placed on the site plan regarding the provision of tandem
parking spaces in front of garages, that will not overhang sidewalks.
t,N'The specific drainage easement location on the southern end of the site is
being designed. At a minimum, the western and eastern ends of this
easement will need to be flared -out to approximately 20'. This needs to be
addressed on both the site plan and plat.
Revisions reflecting these comments are due by noon on June �sd
1988. Items
that cannot be shown graphically on the plans should be addre in writing.
Three copies of all plans that are revised should be provided.
PMT reductions of all plans, color renderings and ten (10) full size copies of
all plans are due by June 20, 1988.
If you have any questions regarding these comments, please do not hesitate to
contact me.
Sincerely,
Sherry Albe son -Clark
