RE: Paragon Point, Phase IV, Preliminary P.U.D.
Addendum to Planning Objectives
Dear Board Members:
The attached plan reflects revisions to the site plan which have been made
since the April 5, 1993, submittal, most notably a reduction in the number of
units in this phase from 72 to 66. The larger lots offer greater flexibility in
siting the buildings, allowing for more variation in setbacks, floor plans and
more opportunity for three -car garages.
This change also impacts the overall density of the project. The 72 units
originally proposed for this phase resulted in an total average density for all
phases of three dwelling units per acre, as required; since with 66 units the
total density drops to 2.9 du/acre, we have amended the O.D.P. to maintain
the minimum overall density required by City policy.
The amendment to the O.D.P. consists of replacing two acres of commercial
property at the the corner of Trilby Road and Lemay with multi -family
--
housing.- The overall densities resulting from this amendment -are -shown -on- -- - -- - — ---
the attached 11"x17" supplemental plan. We have also included an 11"xl7"
exhibit of a townhome development concept for this intersection.
Eliminating the commercial use at this location is appropriate for the following
reasons:
1. Traffic considerations may not permit a local convenience store at this
location.
2. The site is probably too small for office use.
3. And, commercial use does not receive enough points on the point chart to
suggest its viability.

We hope that in considering the amendment and revisions described above you
will keep in mind how unique this project is. The development planned and
built at Paragon Point reflects vigilance in preserving the outstanding assets
this site possesses -- its unusual landforms, its natural open space and its
sensitivity, resulting from the Fossil Creek flood plain and associated wildlife.
We believe these revisions to Phase IV substantially enhance the overall
quality of the project. Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely,
JIM SSELL DESIGN
