[4/14/10] No comments.
Another "formal" round of paper copy review will not be necessary. The applicant can work
directly with appropriate staff to address these comments prior to requesting mylars of the
plans. Be sure and return all red -lined plans when you submit mylars.
If you have any questions regarding these issues or any other issues related to this project,
please feel free to call me at (970) 221-6341.

ADDRESSING
Just to verify and remind all involved, Northern Lights Drive and Big Canyon Drive will be
considered north -south roadways for their entire length, and will be addressed according to
the north -south grid.

WATER SUPPLY
Fire hydrants, where required, must be the type approved by the water district having
jurisdiction and the Fire Department. Hydrant spacing and water flow must meet minimum
requirements based on type of occupancy. Minimum flow and spacing requirements include:
Residential within Urban Growth Area, 1,000 gpm at 20 psi residual pressure, spaced
not further than 400 feet to the building, on 800-foot centers thereafter
These requirements may be modified if buildings are equipped with automatic fire sprinkler
systems.
2006 International Fire Code 508.1 and Appendix B

EMERGENCY VEHICLE ACCESS: I just spoke with Marc Virata, who received construction
plans that show two phases for the project. In order to ensure emergency vehicle access, a
second point of access must be provided prior to occupancy of the homes (a cul-de-sac
cannot exceed 660 feet in length without a second access point or fire sprinklers).
Construction plans show an east -west phasing. If this occurs, the access shown for Strauss
Cabin Road (Wild Elm Way) must be constructed. If the applicant decides on a north -south
phasing (basically, phasing north and south of Common Area Lot G), then the Wild Elm Way
access to Strauss Cabin Road will already be built as part of the phasing, and Northern
Lights Drive could be built with a 100-foot-diamter turnaround at the south end of the
Northern Lights cul-de-sac. A second access point must meet the requirement for
separation distance (at least one-half the length of the longest diagonal of the development).
If a second access point cannot be constructed, all buildings beyond the 660-foot distance
are required to be equipped with approved fire -sprinkler systems.

[8/28109] [8/28/09] Natural Areas has indicated that they do not intend to purchase the
portion of the Swift Farm immediately south of this development. As such, the sidewalk
along the west side of Strauss Cabin must be extended to the southern limit of development.

[3/19/10]
[8/28/09] [8/28/09] The previous development agreement included language providing
funds for the extension of High Desert Place to the southern limit of development. This
needs to be included in the revised development agreement as part of this replat.

Drive.)
Number: 60 Created: 4/16/2010
[4/16/10] The striping plan does not tie into the existing striping to the west. There is no
center turn lane heading west due to the creation of parking along the south side of Kechter
Road for Zach Elementary. Please have the Phase 1 striping plan reflect how the existing
striping to the west is intended to be tied into. Traffic Operations will be evaluating the
amount of stack shown on this striping plan for both left turn movements at Northern Lights
Drive compared to the traffic study.
Number: 61 Created: 4/16/2010
[4/16/10] The phasing exhibit for the termination in Phase 1 of Wild Elm Way, Oak Shadow
Way, and Northern Lights Drive creates small sections of asphalt roadway for these streets
at the termination of Phase 1. For purposes of integrity of these roadway sections, the
proposed phasing would require that sections of existing asphalt are milled out with the
continuation of the streets in Phase 2 (and a note on the plans should be provided stating to
that effect). Perhaps there are slight alterations to the phasing plan that can be explored that
would result in less or no portions of existing asphalt needing to be milled.
Number: 63 Created: 4/16/2010
[4/16/10] The 1606(a) and 1607(a) details refer to the interim designs. Please update the
reference date to 4/1/07, which are the latest approved specifications (admittedly it doesn't
appear that the design specs themselves have changed).

[4/14/10] In discussion at staff review, it appears that the proposed trail connection to the
west isn't consistent with Craig Foreman's recollection of how the trail would be constructed.
His understanding was redlined by him on the phasing plan of the construction set. Craig
also indicated that a cost sharing of the trail with Parks would be acceptable. The detail so
this can be encapsulated in the development agreement
Number: 49 Created: 4/14/2010
[4/14/10] In discussion at staff review it appears that a phasing plan will be needed for the
landscaping plan to reflect the proposed phasing illustrated in the construction drawings.
Number: 62 Created: 4/16/2010
[4/16/10] The conditions in the original development agreement for McClelland's Creek PD
& PLD 2nd Filing, from a Streets perspective, will need to be included with the development
agreement for this project that will supercede that previous development agreements. One
change in this regard will be the amount of security for the future construction of Strauss
Cabin Road and High Desert Place. Engineering has since adopted the protocol of requiring
125% of the estimated for a cash/check security rather than the previous 100%.

[4/16/10] Craig Foreman of Parks Planning has indicated the pedestrian/bicycle trail
alignment off -site, at the west end of the development, needs to change to go diagonally
northwest, closer to the ball field and parking lot on the school site (see red -lined Site Plan).
Number: 57 Created: 4/16/2010
[4/16/10] The pedestrian/bicycle trail proposed to continue east of High Desert Place to
Strauss Cabin Road, with a connection to the cul-de-sac at the south end of Northern Lights
Drive, must be shown on the appropriate Site Plans (see red -lined Site Plans).

[4/12/10] The striping plan sheet indicates the striping of a left turn lane from Kechter Road
onto Northern Lights Drive that I don't think was intended and is a carryover from the
previous design.
Number: 41 Created: 4/13/2010
[4/13/10] For the alley type driveway on the northwest area of the site (on the road design
portion of the plans) please call out the use of concrete to the property line and refer to
detail 706.

[4/13/10] Indicate the use of Type III barricades as the "end of roadway marker" on the
phasing exhibit and provide a detail for the Type III barricades either on that sheet or the
details section.
Number: 47 Created: 4/13/2010
[4/13/10] The phasing plan results in Phase 1 having one point of access to Kechter Road /
Northern Lights Drive. In checking with PFA they require a second point of access be
established for Phase 1. As a result, either Phase 1 need to incorporate construction of a
fully built Wild Elm Way (or Oak Shadow/Wild Elm Way), or a temporary roadway surface
suitable for PFA is constructed in some manner from the proposed Phase 1 out to Strauss
Cabin Road.
Number: 58 Created: 4/16/2010
[4/16/10] On the phasing plan please encapsulate which phase it is proposed that the
frontage improvement along Kechter Road will be constructed. It would appear that the
intention is to construct Kechter Road with Phase 2, though without a delineated boundary
around all of Phase 2, it's not apparently certain.
Number: 59 Created: 4/16/2010
[4/16/10] Continuing on #58, if it is intended that the portion of Kechter Road being
improved is not to be built until Phase 2, it appears that a two phase signing and striping
plan will be needed to distinguish striping changes needed with Phase 1 from Phase 2. (If
the intention is to delay any changes in striping on Kechter Road until Phase 2 work on
Kechter, there would at least need to be striping changes to Kechter on Phase 2 in order to

[4/16/10] Regarding comment #4 about the Narrowleaf Cottonwood, has the applicant's
response to keep this species been discussed further with Tim Buchanan? The other
comments are sufficiently addressed.
4. Narrow Leaf Cottonwood is used on the plan. This tree becomes a significant
nuisance due to the suckers. It should be changed to Lanceleaf Cottonwood
Populus acuminata.
