John Norris, Denver, CO. The Norris Co., side. On St. Andrews lane there will be a 50 ft. right-of-way with a 32 ft. wide street with parking on one side. It eliminates the need to severely grade the hillside by providing a narrower street with access on one side only limiting the amount of grading we would have to do on the hillside. The street widths meet all of the criteria for emergency access, the Federal Traffic Regulations, and AASHTO. Landscape Architects and Planners, Norris: We were asked to establish landscape concepts and amenity design for four separate areas within the project. The first area we treated were the landscape medians on Dillon Road. We continued with the street tree and canopy tree treatment with turf underneath. The next area, the main entry of Filing No. 4, we continued a similar design as is seen on the other collector roads throughout Coal Creek, rows of ornamental trees and some color at the entrances. The Community Center and the Recreation Center were the next areas we were asked to work on. We've oriented the pool and the tennis courts, so that the parking is located on the backside. The parking is buffered by the building. We also bermed and landscaped along those sides. The tennis courts have a north/south orientation. There are lawn areas inside the pool area to soften those areas. The common open space area throughout the back part of the site through the trail corridor is the last area. The trail corridor concept was to use drought tolerant plants in a xeriscape type application. Also, provide year around color with tree plantings throughout St. Andrews Lane and along the entire corridor. A secondary entry site at the intersection of Spy Glass Court and 11
