Dear Eric:
We have reviewed all the changes for the proposed Oakgreen Commons & Carriage House Co -Op
as submitted by Folz, Freeman, Erickson, Inc. on July 14, 2009. Following are our comments/
recommendations for your consideration.
General C Comments
1. All previous comments for construction of Oakgreen Commons & Carriage House Co.-Op have
been addressed.
2. The current construction plans submitted are for the development of the north end of the lot.
This includes the looped roadway, parking areas and the drop off circle for Oakgreen
Commons. In addition, the sanitary sewer, water main and part of the storm sewer will be
constructed. The southern area of the development (Carriage House Co -Op) will be graded
to provide positive drainage and restored.
Plat

Oakgreen Avenue. F FE, Inc. will submit a separate docurnent to include this utility easement
as a trail easement.

constructed within the trail easement. we recommend an agreement stating that the
developer is responsible for all maintenance and/or repairs of this wall and fence. In
addition, any damage done to the surrounding trail as part of the maintenance /repair of
the wall/fence will be the responsibility of the developer to repair and or replace to City
