Dear Eldon,
Staff has reviewed your documents for the Oak Hill Apartments
P.U.D. - Final that were submitted to the. City on May 2, 1994, and
would like to offer the following comments:
1. U.S. Blest has stated that they have the same comments and
concerns as for the Oak Hill Apartments P.U.D., Preliminary
Plan.
2. Public service Company of Colorado has the following comments
to offer:
a. PSC has an existing 4" plastic gas main in an 8' PSC
easement along the east side of Boardwalk Drive that lays
4' east of the east right-of-way line. No trees can be
planted within 4' of this line.
b. Although the easement area behind the sidewalks has been
expanded, it is still not wide enough to allow
installation of both gas and electric behind the walk.
Where is electric planned to go? What is your phasing
plan for this development?
C. It looks like the: developer will have to pay for flow
fill for gas or electric.
d. If gas goes under oil, PSC needs to know the phasing plan
so that they can design the main installation to match
the asphalt installation.
e. A utility coordination may be necessary to resolve some
of these potential conflicts.
3. The Zoning Department received a Preliminary Plat to review at
this time. Where is the Final Plat? We are now in the midst of
Final review.

4. Many building envelope lines are not dimensioned on the Site
Plan. They all need to be. Wherever possible, building
envelopes need. to be dimensioned to property lines in order
for someone to be able to locate them in the field.
5. A copy of the comments received from Sharon Getz of the
Building Inspection Department is attached to this letter.
6. The Mapping Department has the following comments to offer:
a. Please show the recording information for Boardwalk Drive.
on this subdivision plat.
b. The control monument at the North 1/4 corner does not
meet State requirements.
C. The subdivision plat must call the area "Lot 1" even
though it is only one lot.
7. The transformer locations will need to be coordinated with the
Light i Power Department. Please contact Janet Perry for
assistance. Janet can be reached at 221-6700.
8. The comments received from the Engineering Department are as
follows:
a. Only 2 out of the 32 soil borings actually pertain to
this site. Other than that the soils report is good.
b. The driveway is too flat at the cross -pan. It is at 0.35%
and the required minimum is 0.6%.
C. Off -site drainage easements are required.
d. The entry driveways should be concrete from the street to
the property line.
e. Additional comments have been sent to RBD Engineers on
red -lined utility plans.
Please contact Kerrie Ashbeck if you have questions about
these Engineering comments. Kerrie can be reached at 221-6750.
9. The overall drainage plan must be revised. The Stormwater
Utility disagrees with the recalibrated SWMM model. The
hydrologic calculations must be revised.
10. The buildings are all to be three-story structures (to be
measured from the parking lot grade) and must all be equipped
with an automatic fire sprinkler system. Full credit was asked
for and approved on the Residential Uses Density Point Chart
(Criteria U) with the Oak Hill Apartments P.U.D., Preliminary.
LI
11. There is no parking area allotted for outside of the garages
without blocking the driveways. The use of automatic garage
door openers should be considered to make it more convenient
to use the garages and help prevent driveway blockage.
12. Sidewalk connections should be added along the northeast side
of Building H and the south side of Building C to make the
logical loop closures.
13. The note about the landscaping being installed or collateral
being provided prior to a certificate of occupancy must be
added to the Landscape Plan.
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 June 27, 1994 Planning and Zoning Board
hearing:
Plan revisions are due no late than June 9, 1994. Please contact me
for the number of folded revisions required for each. document.
PMT's, renderings, and 8 folded copies of final revisions (for the
Planning and Zoning Board packets) are due by 3:00 p.m. on June 2.0,
1994.
Please contact me at 221-6750 if you have questions or concerns
related to these comments. I would like to schedule a meeting with
you as soon as possible, if necessary, to discuss these comments.
