Yes! . . . We acknowledge and agree with the conditions, as written, per current DA and UDC requirements.
The response below was to state—for the record—the rationale for our intent to address Site Specific Conditions 4.b
and 5.a through the Alternative Compliance process.

Mike – While the previous approval file numbers are noted in condition #1, so is the most recent DA amendment for Ten
Mile Crossing with “TBD” for the yet to be recorded DA. As we discussed, conditions #4b and #5a can’t be waived or
approved with this application; a subsequent ALT application needs to be submitted.
Are you in agreement with the conditions of approval as written? If not, this will need to be pulled from the work
session agenda and placed on the regular agenda.

All,
We have reviewed the staff report and conditions of approval, and concur with these qualifying comments:
While not likely an issue, Site Specific Condition No.1 refers to prior DA’s which are being consolidated into a single,
project-governing Ten Mile Crossing DA.
- That DA Mod process may be completed prior to City Engineer signature and plat recording.
1
Site Specific Conditions 4.b and 5.a – Because the project’s underlying zone is Residential R-40, the 20-foot Wayfinder
and Cobalt collector street landscape buffers must be in common lots.
- Technically, that is possible—but not practical
o While the site is residentially-zoned, the project is, in reality, commercial
o There is no HOA to own and maintain common lots
o They will be owned solely by the multi-family project
o They will be maintained by the owner as, simply, a “seamless” part of the project’s landscaping
- The Phase 1 apartment site across Wayfinder is zoned commercial, thus the required buffers were defined by
easements
o Zoning is the only distinction
THEREFORE, rather than plat 4.5’-wide common lots solely for UDC compliance, we propose to address the
conditions through Alternative Compliance.
Respectfully,
Mike Wardle
