Dear Jim,
Staff has reviewed your submittal documentation for the Overland
Hills West, RF Site Plan Review (including Preliminary plat,
utility, and drainage plans), and would like to offer the following
comments:
1. it will be important to review the previous comment letter
dated October 15, 1992 from the Planning Department to be
assured that your revised plans incorporate the pertinent
requirements.
2. It must be noted on the Site Plan that all buildings will be
fire -sprinkled since this development will not comply with the
secondary emergency access requirement of the City:
3. Note 2.k) of the October 15th letter should be referred to and
these items should be addressed:
a Y A planting detail should be added to the plan.
b)/ Note stating that "A free permit must be obtained from
the -City -Forester before any trees -or shrubs as noted on
this plan are planted, pruned, or removed on the public
right-of-way".
c) The City Forester has indicated that certain trees and
shrubs would be more appropriate than several presently
VVO shown on the plan. Please contact Tim Buchanan at 221-
6640 if you have reasons for installing the plants as
specified.
d) Note stating that "All landscaping must be installed or
secured with an irrevocable letter of credit, escrow, or
performance bond for 125% of evaluation of landscaping as
indicated on this plan prior to issuance of a certificate
of occupancy".

4. The flared area at the west end of the 30' public access (to
be dedicated to the City) should be enlarged to allow the
planned trail to meander up that steep embankment. It would be
best to make that line as close to Lot 49 as possible.
5. Note 2 under the Plant List indicated that the developer will
maintain the streetscape within the Overland Trail right-of-
way. Will the developer be perpetually involved in this
development? It would seem logical that the Homeowner's
Association would assume responsibility for the maintenance at
some time.
6. A revised drainage report, with supporting calculations,
should be submitted to the City as soon as possible to give
the Stormwater Utility sufficient time to review the
documents.
This completes the review comments at this time. I would like to
reiterate the importance of reviewing the previous City comment
letter. 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 January 25, 1993 Planning and
Zoning Board hearing:
Plan revisions are due January 6, 1993 by 12:00 noon. Please
contact me for the number of folded revisions required for each
document.
PMT1s, renderings, and 8 folded copies of final revisions (for the
Planning and Zoning Board packets) are due January 19, 1993.
Final documents (including the signed development agreement,
applicable mylars and utility plans) are due January 21, 1993 by
12:00 noon.
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.
