Please delete the general notes on Plan Sheets 3 and 4 which reference
the LDGS submittal requirements for architectural elevations. Per
Ordinance No. 114, 1997 (Amending Section 3 and Exhibit B of
Ordinance No. 161, 1996), Final PUD submittal requirement #4 states:
"Final architectural elevations of all buildings sufficient to convey
the exact architectural intent of the proposed improvements
including the location of proposed flushwall signs and all exterior
building materials and colors. In addition, City staff may require
samples of all building materials and colors."
Building elevations of all sides of all buildings are required. All building
materials and colors must be specifically designated abe led on building
elevations and/or materials and colors table. Alternate building materials
should be deleted. If architectural changes are deemed necessary by the
applicant, the applicant may submit a Minor Amendment for such
architectural changes for review by the City at a later time.
vb. The landscaping on the architectural elevations does not match the
landscape plan. Please either show the landscaping as proposed on the
Landscape Plan or elete the landsca ing�ntir�e r from the building
elevations.
c. Additional architectural detail is needed on the. south and west elevations
of Lot 7 and the south and east elevations of Lot 6. Additional

landscaping is needed to screen the view of these service areas from
/ Midpoint Drive.
vd. The rooftop mechanical units on all buildings (especially Lots 6 and 7)
should be incorporated into the building architecture. Staff suggests the
use of rooftop parapets rather than the deckin which is currently
proposed on buildings 6 and 7. Cum "G
Per Ordinance No. 114, 1997 (Amending Section 3 and Exhibit B of
Ordinance No. 161, 1996), Final PUD submittal requirement #5 states:
"Other information and data as the Planning and Zoning Board may
require for full and complete consideration of the development."
Pia �
The Director of Planning has determined that land uses need to be
'Ali
specified on each of the lots and within the Land Use Breakdown data.
please label the building on Lot 2 as a "4,400 s.f. fast-food restaurant"
fit' rather than "4,400 s.f. building'. The land use designations on the Site
o�a Plan for Lots 3, 4, 6 and 7 are not adequate. A note on the site plan
states: multi -tenant buildings may include retail, office, restaurant, and/or
Y• business service uses". It appears that this land use designation and the
building square footages are inconsistent with the Traffic Study prepared
fain November 1996. According to the Traffic Study, Lots 3, 4, 6, 7 are
oIdesignated as Business Park Uses. It is staff's understanding that the ITE
trip generation numbers for a "business park" (which assumes a certain
percentage of office use with the remainder of the building dedicated for
associated warehouse use) may be significantly less than than the ITE
trip generation numbers for retail, restaurant and business service uses.
The inconsistency is magnified by the fact that the building square
footages assumed in the Traffic Study do not match the current Site Plan.
Parking ratios vary for each of the "multi -tenant" uses. It is difficult to
determine whether the proposed parking ratio is insufficient, acceptable,
or excessive.
Additional landscaping is needed as per the attached redlined landscape
plan.
The cross -sections that were provided appear to be misleading. The
setbacks of the north sides of buildings 3 and 4 are listed as 12 feet and
23 feet respectively. While these setbacks may be accurate for the
selected point of reference, it appears that the most favorable point of
reference (to the applicant) was selected. In reality Building 3 has a
minimum setback of 5 feet between the building envelope and the back of
the walk. Building 4 has a minimum setback of 0 feet between the
building envelope and the back of the walk. A greater separation/setback
is needed between the back of the walk and the proposed building
envelopes.
As noted on the attached redlined Site Plan, there are numerous sidewalk
intersections that are indirect and odd. Please make these intersections
more direct and purposeful.
I. --The pedestrian crossings on the north and south sides of the fast-food
restaurant should be raised, patterned concrete crossings.
j. The applicant needs to schedule a meeting in the field with the City
Forester to determine the appropriateness removing any existing trees.
0 Trees to be removed and trees that are to remain must be clearly labeled
on the Landscape Plan. Tree preservation and protection notes must be
added to the Landscape Plan. Please contact the City Forester at 221-
6361 for the necessary tree protection measures and verbiage.
k. The following revisions to the Plat were requested in the October 29, 1997
comment letter. A revised Plat was not submitted on January 21,-199
staff review.
• Springcreek in the title of the Plat should be two words (Spring
Creek).
• Should the Land Description be part of the Legal for the property?
Possibly "more particularly described as......"?
• Please move the Attorney's Certification to the area above the
Director of Engineering's Certification.
• Please add a signature blank for the Director of Engineering.
• It does not appear that the Plat matches the proposed Site Plan
(i.e. joint access between lots as shown on the Site Plan; eastern
access to Midpoint Drive is missing; southern access on Specht
Point is missing; etc.).
• Please provide a scale for the Vicinity Map. /

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.
A meeting between the applicant and staff has been scheduled for 11 A.M. on
Thursday February 25, 1998 at the Stormwater Utility Large Conference Room
(235 Matthews) to discuss these comments.
In order to minimize the development review time period, it is vital that a complete
package of revisions be submitted which addresses all of the above stated comments,
including a written response addressing each comment.
Please contact me for the required number of plan revisions prior to the revision
submittal. Revisions are reviewed for a period of three weeks. Items are not scheduled
for Planning and Zoning Board hearings until all comments have been satisfactorily
addressed.
Please contact me at 221-6206 if you have any additional questions.

- Additional comments provided by the Mapping Division.
UTILITY PLAN
- Swale 12 is located within the Public R.O.W. and needs to be moved on to the Spring Creek
Center Site. The sidewalk should be located within the Public R.O.W..
- The T.I.S. does not appear to be accurate please revise and resubmit. The Business Park Land
Use classification is too value without knowing the proposed tenants.
- The site has a poor circulation pattern that results in conflicting left hand turns which are a
safety concern.
- Prepare cost estimate for future construction of the local street portion of Timberline Rd.
Improvements for escrow purposes.

1. Pond 3 is shown to release to the existing cross pan at the 100-year historic rate. This
area should be directed directly to Spring Creek or detained at the 2-year historic rate.
The FAA method should be used to calculate the detention volume. The method used in
the report calculates volumes lower than the acceptable standard.
RESPONSE:
2. The diversion swale along the west site is shown to be within the right-of-way. The
swale should be located outside the right-of-way.

3. The 500-year floodplain for the Spring Creek needs to be delineated. It is not clear if
the proposed gas station in the northeast corner is in the 500-year floodplain. Please state
the elevation of the finished floor and the 500-year floodplain.
RESPONSE:
4. The water quality treatment for the gas stations is not acceptable. They do not appear
to offer spill containment capabilities, and appear to be a maintenance problem. Please
eliminate the filters and provide spill containment for the gas stations. The runoff will be
treated by the Stormceptor and extended detention.
RESPONSE:
5. Supporting calculations for the culverts 4 and 10 need to be provided along with the
other culvert calculations.
RESPONSE:
6. Several of the storm sewer lengths in the supporting calculations do not match the
lengths on the plans. Also, the floodplain elevation should be used as the downstream
hydraulic grade line.
RESPONSE:
7. Please provide water quality treatment for the release from Pond 3 and basins 5 and 7.
A water quality pond with a 40-hour detention time is recommended.
RESPONSE:
HEC-2 Comments
8. The fully developed condition model for Spring Creek should be used to determine the
500-year overflow for Timberline. The City is currently updating this model. The most
updated model should be used for this analysis.
RESPONSE:
9. The pre -development and post -development starting water surface elevations are
based on normal depth for cross-section 1000 with 75 cfs. This is not an accurate
estimate of the starting water surface elevation because part of the 75 cfs splits off from
11
the channel. Please revise the model to accurately model the starting water surface
elevation.
RESPONSE:
10. A split flow weir is defined between cross -sections 2025 and 2000 for both the pre -
development and post -development conditions. However, there is no weir at this
location. The split flow analysis should begin after cross-section 2000. Please provide
more explanation of the split flow analysis.
RESPONSE:
11. Please provide more discussion on the modeling methodology used for the analysis.
Encroachments are defined for the portion of the cross-section left of the weir point.
Why were encroachments used? And, why were the cross -sections defined for the areas
to the left of the weir points, when the split flow does not return to the channel?
RESPONSE:
12. There is a concern with the results of the pre -development condition model that
shows only .75 cfs continuing down Midpoint Drive. It appears that more than .75 cfs
will remain in the street because the street section has a capacity greater than .75 cfs. The
minimum flow that would continue down midpoint would be the capacity of the street
section. Please review and revise the modeling approach to provide more consistent
results for the flow in Midpoint drive.
RESPONSE:
13. Please use the HEC-2 output to map the inundated areas from the overflow.
RESPONSE:
14. Cross -sections 1000 and 1074 show the weir point to be lower than the high point to
the left of the street. It appears that the flow will spill at the high points rather than where
the weir points are defined.
RESPONSE:
15. There are several cross -sections that are shown as extended in the output. Please
revise these cross -sections to eliminate any vertical extension of the cross -sections.
