Topic: General Number: 15 Created: 12/23/2003 (12/23/03) Project title needs to be consistent between the plan sets. All sets should read "Cambridge House Lofts" or whatever the project title is that you decide on. Number: 41 Created: 12/23/2003 (12/23/03) This project is responsible for dedicating their half of the current local street width (5l'total) and for the design and construction of Scott Avenue. There is currently 20' of ROW for Scott Avenue. That means that this project needs to dedicate an additional 15.5, or (51-20)/2. However, you may dedicate the additional width as a Public Access, Utility, and Drainage Easement instead so that the applicant still retains the current use of the property as currently shown. In addition, this project is responsible for dedicating their half of a minor collector with parking along Plum. There is currently 40' of ROW and a total of 76' is needed. That means that this project must dedicate an additional 18' of ROW on Plum. They do NOT need to dedicate the utility easement along Plum. No additional ROW along Shields is required. Number: 50 Created: 12/31 /2003 (12/31 /03) A variance request will need to be submitted by a licensed engineer if the emergency access easement does not meet standards. (9/25/03) From the modification request: Upon submittal of a PDP, the fire lane must meet the minimum requirements as shown in 7.8 of LCUASS and the Emergency Access section 3.6.6 in the COFC Land Use Code. Such emergency access lanes must be in a dedicated emergency access easement (can be done by separate document). Please contact PFA to determine if such easements are required. Please label and dimension the width and inner/outer radii of the emergency access lane so that we can determine whether or not the lane meets minimum requirements.

Number: 30 Created: 12/23/2003 (12/23/03) Spell out all abbreviated easement labels. Number: 31 Created: 12/23/2003 (12/23/03) Change the "Pedestrian Access Easement' along Plum Street to read "Public Access Easement'. Page 3 (1 /8/04) Scott Avenue is a public street directly west of the site. It is gravel and the right of way is only 25 feet wide. At some point in the long mid to long term future, Scott Avenue will likely be widened and improved by the creation of some sort of Special Improvement District or some other mechanism. Although such improvements would not likely happen anytime soon, such widening would impact the parking along the west edge of Cambridge House Apartments.. If Scott Avenue were to have a right of way width in accordance with the local residential street standard, the right of way would need to be 51 feet wide. This would mean that an addition 15.5 feet would be needed from the Cambridge House apartments property to accomplish this. One potential solution staff is considering would be to have this project dedicate a 15.5 foot wide access easement along the western edge of the property. The conditions by which the City would exercise the use of this area would need to be carfully spelled out in the development agreement. It would also need to be clarified in the developent agreement that the loss of on -site parking as a result of Scott Street being built would need to be somehow accommodated by on -street parking, or some other solution that doesn't adversely affect Cambridge House Apartment. I'm in the process of coordinate schedules, we should meet on this issue next week.

Department: Current Planning Topic: General Number: 58 Issue Contact: Carl Jenkins Created: 1 /8/2004 Issue Contact: Troy Jones Created: 1 /8/2004 (1 /8/04) The Conceptual Landscape Plan calls the project "Cambridge House PUD." The Existing Site Plan and the proposed Site Plan calls the project "Cambridge Lofts." The elevation sheet calls the project "Cambridge House Lofts." All sheets need to use the some name. Also, the project is a Project Development Plan, not a PUD. We have therefore entered the name in our system as "Cambridge Lofts Apartments PDP." Please change the title of all drawing sets, including civil engineering drawings to this name. If you don't like the name we chose, you can choose a different one. Let us know what you want the name to be and make sure all the drawing sheets say the new name. Number: 60 Created: 1 /8/2004 (1 /8/04) Shrubs are shown within an area shown on the utility plans to be a concrete channel at the southeast corner of the site. Please resolve this conflict.

Number: 62 Created: 1 /8/2004 (1 /8/04) Advance Planning, Current Planning and Transportation Planning all need to review a detail at a larger scale to the sidewalk and landscape areas on the east and south sides of the new Shields Street building. As currently shown, it's just too small of a scale to get an understanding of what's exactly proposed. It's not clear what's proposed within the planting beds, and the paving patterns are a little confusing at this scale. Number: 63 Created: 1 /8/2004 (1 /8/04) Along the northeastern corner of the site, extend a sidewalk along the street frontage. If the existing tree is in the way, it can be removed, because it is considered a nusionce species of tree. Tim Buchanan, the City Forester should be contacted first. Number: 64 Created: 1 /8/2004 (1 /8/04) The new tree porposed along the south property line midway between the new building and the existing apartments is not considered to be feasible to have there because of the location of the sewer line in that vicinity. You should remove this tree from the plans. The landscape diamond should remain where shown, but have a shrub. Number: 65 Created: 1 /8/2004 Page 1
