RE: Provincetowne Filing Three
Final Plan Submittal
Mr. Olt:

On behalf of the design team, I am pleased to present for your consideration the
final plan application for Provincetowne Filing Three. The property is within the
L-M-N zone district, and the PDP for the project was approved for the property
earlier this month.
KB Home has proposed 431 homes on the property, including 151 affordable
homes and 280 single family detached homes. Following the City's decision on
the status of the Robert Benson Dam, a fourth filing may be forthcoming in the
area noted on the plan set and plat drawings as "Outlot A." This area is not
included within density calculations.
We have worked closely with JR Engineering and KB Home to prepare the
submittal, and look forward to receiving your comments in the next few weeks.
Should you have any questions regarding the submittal, please do not hesitate to
contact me.
We have been notified of an overpayment on previous applications for the
property. The overpayment amount has not been revealed, although we
understand that the figure exceeds the final plan application and transportation
review fees. Please let me know the amount of the overage so that I may advise
our client accordingly.
Rusty Crandall is the Division President of KB Home Colorado, Inc., and is
familiar with the project. Rick Holpp, also of KB Home, oversees day-to-day
aspects of the project. The official owner of the property is:

The Final Plan is nearly identical to the Project Development Plan that went
before the hearing officer on 10 August 2006. Minor changes to the plan
included verbiage clarification on the cover sheets and summary tables, a
reduction in parking in the Neighborhood Activity Center, changes in wording on
several notes to make design intent clear, addition of the sidewalk connection to
be eventually completed by the City, addition of proposed model home locations
and associated parking, and other minor adjustments.
Elevations included include those proposed for the affordable component of the
property, and the Neighborhood Activity Center. Single family detached homes
will comply with all applicable City regulations, including regulations for
architecture adjacent to the Natural Areas as indicated within the submittal set.
The landscape drawings expand upon the detail proposed within the PDP
submittal. Following conversations with the Natural Resources Department, we
have adjusted the landscape design adjacent to the Pelican Marsh Natural Area
to create a naturalized transition between residential neighborhoods and the
City's natural area. We anticipate working closely with the Natural Resources
Department for the next several weeks to complete the design process.
JR Engineering has prepared a subdivision plat, drainage and erosion control
report, and final utility plan. The Transportation Impact Analysis, Soils Report,
Subsurface Hydrologic Study, wetland delineation, and environmental study have
not changed since the PDP submittal. If you would like additional copies of these
for your records, please let me know and I will be happy to oblige.
As always, if you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to
contact me directly at 484 — 4100. Once again, I thank you for your time and
look forward to working with you closely for the next several weeks.
