Sonya,
We have reviewed the attached staff report and agree with the conditions of approval presented in the analysis, but
would like to add the following to be considered by staff and Council.
Within TM Crossing Subdivision No. 3, there is a required 20’ landscape buffer along W. Navigator Drive. Brighton
Development is proposing to install the landscape improvements in the 8’ planter strip, between back of curb and
sidewalk.
However we are requesting a waiver from City Council, to install the landscaping behind back of walk. We are
requesting that this will be the responsibility of the lot owner to improve the remaining landscape buffer at build
out. Based on our previous experiences with Ten Mile Creek, Paramount Square, and previous phases of Ten Mile
Crossing, we installed the landscape buffer as required, only to have the improvements removed due to construction
activities at time of individual lot build out. As a result, on the most recent project we have opted to not install the
landscape improvements behind back of walk and instead bond for the remaining landscaping. These bonds will be
held up with the City until the build out is completed. The timing of the build out is dependent on the market.
Therefore, we respectfully respect that the landscape improvements behind the sidewalk be the responsibility each
individual building, and installed consistent with the approved landscape plans for the subdivision. This will allow for
a unified landscape installation. And that the landscaping behind the sidewalk be removed from the required
bonding in this commercial subdivision.
Please let me know if there are any questions or concerns. Thank you,
Kameron Nauahi | Assistant Project Manager
