Dear Frank:
Staff has reviewed the request for Final P.U.D. for New Mercer
Commons and offers the following comments:
1. The "necking -down" of Worthington Circle appears to have merit
in that the adjoining uses will combine with New Mercer
Commons to create a campus environment. A variance request,
however, must be submitted in order to justify the deviation
from the standard design for a local street. The variance
should be prepared by an registered professional engineer.
After the submittal of the variance request, the affected City
departments will review the issue.
2. There are seven existing street lights on Centre Avenue and
Worthington Circle that are impacted by the proposed attached
sidewalk:. These street lights will have to be relocated
behind the sidewalk. It is estimated by Light and Power that
the cost of relocation will range from $300 to $400 per street
light.
3. The landscaping proposed for the north side of Centre Avenue
will have to be carefully coordinated with the Public Service
Company in order to allow the installation of a four inch
diameter gas main in the 15 foot wide utility easement.
Public Service Company requests that trees be kept a minimum
of four feet, in horizontal distance, from the underground gas
line.
4. The legal description on the plat does not match the survey.
The discrepancy is with the distance at the southwest corner
along Centre Avenue. Is the distance 220.23 feet or 220.53
feet? Please verify.
5. The plat should provide a description of the outer boundary
monuments.
6. The groups of Austrian Pines at both intersections of Centre
and Worthington Circle may cause sight distance visibility
problems; as the trees mature. Shifting these groups more
interior in the project should eliminate this potential
problem.

7. It is suggested that where bluegrass turf is specified, that
it be substituted in favor of a fescue blend. The watering
needs of the fescue is less than for bluegrass, and the
appearance is similar.
8. The Parks and Recreation Department cautions that the picnic
shelter and gazebo next to a pond will be very attractive for
geese. Depending on the applicant's point of view, this may
or may not be considered a nuisance.
9. As of this writing, the Planning Department has not received
architectural elevations for the building, garages, and
courtyard walls. Please provide three sheets so these
documents can be reviewed.
This concludes Staff comments at this time. Please note that
comments pertaining to the Utility Plans have been forwarded to the
consulting engineer under separate cover. The following schedule
is for the March 22, 1993 Planning and Zoning Board hearing:
Plan revision are due Wednesday, March 3, 1993
P.M.T.'s, 10 prints, colored renderings are due March 15, 1993
Final documents are due March 18, 1993.
Please call if you have questions regarding this schedule of the
comments.

Dear Frank and Kathy,
Staff reviewed your submittal for New Mercer office P.U.D. (Lot 3,
C.A.T. 15th Filing) at our regularly scheduled Interdepartmental
Meeting on June 21, 1993, and would like to offer the following
comments:
1. General Note 11 on the Final Site Plan should be changed to
read:
"This development is located in the Residential
Neighborhood Sign District and is subject to the
requirements of Ordinance No. 141, 1992 of City Code. The
Planning and Zoning Board will review the location of all
proposed flushwall signs. The architectural elevations
show the locations of all proposed flushwall signs. All
other aspects of signage for this development are
regulated by the City's Sign Code."
Administrative changes for signage will not be required. Sign
permits will be issued upon receipt of a sign permit
application which must show compliance with City Code.
2. The Landscape Plan must note when the completion of the
landscaping is required and will occur (i.e. - completion or
collateral for 125% of landscaping before issuance of
certificate of occupancy).
3. The street light on Worthington Circle will need to be
relocated to the rear of the attached sidewalk, and this will
be at the developer's expense. A suitable location for the
transformer should be coordinated with Bruce Vogel of Light &
Power. Bruce can be reached at 221-6700.
4. The outdoor lighting for the entrance, exit, and parking areas
must be adequate for regular use as well as for safety for
staff, residents, and other users during hours of darkness.

5. Does the utility plan submitted with this request reflect the
approved utility plan for the Alzheimer's facility to the
east? If not, then the two plans should be revised or amended
to make them in agreement with one another. Comments from the
Water/Wastewater Department are being forwarded to you on a
red -lined copy of the Landscape Plan. Also, comments are being
forwarded to your engineer on a red -lined copy of the utility
plans. Both of these red -lined plans should be returned to the
City when revisions are complete. Please contact Mark Taylor
at 221-6681 with questions pertaining to water and sanitary
sewer services.
6. A copy of the Stormwater Utilityls comment sheet is attached
to this letter. Your engineer is receiving a red -lined copy of
the revised utilities and drainage plan for this site. This
red -lined copy should be returned to the City when the
revisions are done. Please contact Kate Malers at 221-6589
with questions pertaining to storm drainage.
7. Where do the stairs lead to in the northwest corner of the
building'? Elevations for all four sides of the building must
be submitted. Presently only the north and east elevations
have been received.
8. The northwest corner around the trash enclosure should be
landscaped. This area gets fuzzy and lacks detail on the
Landscape Plan.
9. The bicycle rack shown on the Site Plan is not shown on the
Landscape Plan and should be for consistency.
10. Buffering or screening of the parking area adjacent to
Worthington Circle should be provided. Berms and/or additional
plant materials should be included.
11. The standard landscape notes should be added to the Landscape
Plan.
12. There is an approved sidewalk around the loop drive on Lot 1,
at the northwest "corner", that should be shown on this site
Plan.
13. It seems as if the attached sidewalk along the south side of
Worthington Circle should continue along the south side of the
driveway onto this lot and connect close to the building
somewhere in the area of the trash enclosure.
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 July 26, 1993 Planning and Zoning Board
hearing:
Plan revisions are due July 7, 1993 by 12:00 noon. 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 July 19, 1993.
Final documents (including the signed development agreement,
applicable my]Lars and utility plans) are due July 22, 1993 by 12:00
noon.
Please contact me at 221-6750 if you have questions or concerns
relateP to these comments. I would like to schedule a meeting with
you soon as possible, if necessary, to discuss these comments.

Dear Frank:
The Planning Department has conducted the interdepartmental review
for New Mercer Commons Preliminary P.U.D. The following comments
are offered:
1. The Public Service Company is concerned that back of the
perimeter sidewalks generally correspond to the edge of the
right-of-way line. This will require a 15 foot wide utility
easement along the public street to accommodate natural gas
facilities. Also, the location of street trees should be
coordinated with Public Service Company so that trees are kept
a minimum of four feet from underground gas lines.
2. U.S. West cautions that any relocation of existing facilities
will be at the expense of the developer.
3. Columbine Cable Vision would like to work with the developer
on providing service to this complex by installing at least
one conduit to the building for a main line. In addition,
Columbine Cable Vision would like to wire the building with a
"home -run" system with cable meeting minimum standards.
4. The plat should dedicate the half width of Centre Avenue as
publicly dedicated right-of-way. Presently, Centre Avenue is
only dedicated by the S.I.D. as an access easement. It is the
City's desire to upgrade this dedication to the normal, fee
simple, dedication as public right-of-way.
5. Staff is concerned about the "necking down" of Worthington
Circle from 36 feet to 24 feet. It is acknowledged that it is
important to link the two facilities on the north side of the
street to the amenities on the south. Narrowing of the public
right-of-way, however, may be an inappropriate method by which
to accomplish this purpose. Perhaps a crosswalk with yellow
caution signs would be sufficient. At minimum, a variance
request, prepared by a licensed professional engineer, would
„'I \kvth C��If����e :Arrnuc f'.C�. I;.,� ���� • ��: Culling, CO RI)�, -(l� {l ( 0"�)-214)_7'��
be required to narrow the width of a public street. Further,
it may not be feasible to reconstruct the curb and still be
able to meet minimum flowline grades for drainage purposes.
6. Staff applauds the designation of a 3.5 acre "park" with a
network of pedestrian paths. This amenity will create a
campus type atmosphere that will enhance the proposed and
existing facilities. Staff suggests that the internal path
network be supplemented with two access points to the
perimeter. One access could align with the southerly curb for
Centre Professional Park on Worthington Circle. Another
connection is suggested between the west edge of the detention
pond and the third berm from the corner of Worthington Circle
and Centre Avenue. These two points would help integrate the
"campus" with the balance of the C.A.T.
7. The site plan indicates the path network to be six feet wide.
The landscape plan indicates seven feet wide. Please clarify.
8. The median at the Centre Avenue curb cut should be placed
behind the right-of-way line so it is on private property.
9. It is suggested that the curve on the sidewalk between the
southwest; corner of the Assisted Living Unit and the parking
lot should be softened and provided with a flared ramp for
easy access to the parking lot.
10. The Parking Data should indicate that the 18 garage spaces
will be for the Worthington Place project.
11. At the time of Final P.U.D., the architectural detail of the
three garage units must be provided. It will be important to
blend these garages with main structure. Also, with the close
setback from Worthington Circle, these garages will have an
impact on the streetscape.
12. Please check Note #5. This should read: "The City will not be
responsible for maintenance of on -site storm drainage
facilities".
13. Will 10 spaces be enough for the daycare function? It is
unclear from the written materials how this activity operates.
Perhaps an additional explanatory paragraph should be added to
the Planning Objectives.
14. Please label the structures within the park area. Are these
a gazebo and a picnic shelter?
15. Please adjust the spelling to "Centre" Avenue.
16. The building occupancy classification must conform to the
Building Code for health care uses. The secured courtyards
must be provided with gates for emergency access. The east
side of the loop access drive must be signed "No Parking -
Fire Lane" and the curb painted red.
17. Any units with kitchens would pay a parkland fee; otherwise,
one fee is required as a "group quarters" use.
18. A native/drought tolerant turf blend is recommended for the
park/detention area to reduce water consumption. We would
also recommend a more naturalistic approach to this area. A
"backyard. wildlife habitat" approach would seem compatible
with the proposed use and might enhance the area for users.
Such an approach would also reduce long term maintenance
requirements.
19. The Commission on Disability would like to work with the
architect. in establishing accessibility features for the
Assisted Living Units and suggested that the carport cover
extend over the driveway and drop-off areas for both units.
Please contact COD Chairman Jim Reigles at 221-3878.
20. Clarification is needed regarding the proposed building
materials and architecture, by providing a narrative or
preliminary elevations.
21. Clarification is needed whether perimeter sidewalks are new
construction or existing.
22. Storm drainage comments will be delivered under separate
cover.
This concludes Staff comments at this time. Please note the
following deadlines for the January 25, 1993 Planning and Zoning
Board hearing:
Plan revisions due January 6, 1993
P.M.T.'s,, 10 prints, renderings due January, 19, 1993
As always, please call if there are any questions or concerns
regarding these comments, or to set up a meeting to discuss the
comments in detail.
Sincerely,
