Re: Third Submission Review – Mixed-Use Building at Parkside at City Center – Site Plan Application Number: DA-1773-06 Case Number: 2017-6008-03
Dear Mr. Marcotte:
Thank you for your second submittal, which we received on January 8, 2019. We reviewed it and attached our comments along with this cover letter.
Because some important issues still remain, a technical corrections submittal will be required prior to submitting your final Site Plan mylars. Please revise your work and send us a new submission on or before Friday, February 15, 2019.
Note that all our comments are numbered. When you resubmit, include a cover letter specifically responding to each item. The Planning Department reserves the right to reject any resubmissions that fail to address these items. If you have made any other changes to your documents other than those requested, be sure to also specifically list them in your letter.
As always, if you have any comments or concerns, please give me a call. I may be reached at 303-739-7857.
Sincerely,
Sarah Wieder, Senior Planner City of Aurora Planning Department cc: Angela Gunn, Oz Architecture, 3003 Larimer Street, Denver, CO 80205 Susan Barkman, Neighborhood Liaison Mark Geyer, ODA Filed: K:\$DA\1773-06rev3.rtf

Please review the CAD Data Submittal Standards and email your Case Manager the .DWG file before submitting your final Site Plan mylars.
