Please discuss how in the future the pond can be retro fitted to discharge into the
proposed drainage channel to the east. It is suggested that either an easement is
acquired to drain the pond to the east, or provide a retention pond in an interim
condition until future downstream improvements are constructed.
The new design incorporates a second pond for retention storage. The on -site pond
is designed for the ultimate condition when the future downstream improvements are
constructed. Until that time, a second, off -site pond has been designed to retain the
runoff. Connection between the ponds is sufficient to pass stormwater in the interim
condition, but also located in the ultimate location for a downstream outfall
connection.
At final a ditch crossing agreement will be needed.
Acknowledged.
For erosion control maybe a perimeter temporary ditch on the south end of the site
along the canal might prevent silt from entering the irrigation canal.
Due to the existing trees and the desire to keep this area undisturbed, temporary
erosion control measures will be used along the south edge of the site..

[3/3/08] The turn lane transitions on Cherry Hurst need revising to use curvature
instead of angle points. Minimize the transitions to 75' to 1 00'to maximize storage.
Use curvature instead of angle points on the Timberline left turn bay also.
The turn lane transitions now use 100' and 150' radius curves. Storage is now 125'
long and the taper is 100' long. The left turn bay on Timberline uses 200' radius
curves.

Please provide a preliminary grading design for the future channel on the east side
of the site showing how that channel would fit within a 40-foot wide easement, with
20 feet on either side of the property line.
After preliminary analysis, is was determined that this section of the master planned
overflow system would be too deep to reasonably create an open channel. In order
to clear the bottom of the Larimer-Weld Ditch, the proposed pipe and channel would
be approximately 14 feet deep (only providing 2 feet instead of the preferred 5 feet
of clearance under the irrigation ditch). At 12 feet wide and 3:1 side slopes, this
channel would be almost 100 feet wide. It is recommended that a pipe be extended
from the ditch crossing south until more reasonable depth can be achieved (perhaps
at the drop-off below the irrigation lateral that crosses the Holter property.
Will the construction of the off -site storm sewer be all within the right of way? At 20
feet deep, construction easements may be needed from adjacent property owners.
The storm sewer now drains to the east and the future irrigation overflow master
planned improvements.

[3/3/08] Some of the geometric dimensions on the Rbt Detail plan (sht 9) do not
correspond to the Rodel values. The Rodel analysis values and the plan geometry
should correspond or there should be analysis or discussion as to how the plan
dimensions meet or exceed the capacity provided by the Rodel analysis. Please
model the planned geometry in Rodel, or provide discussion as to how the Rbt on
sht 9 meets or exceeds the Rodel analysis.
This should now be corrected

[3/3/08] Some of the Rbt plan dimensions (sht 9) do not clearly define their start and

length on the approaches, and inscribed diameter of the Rbt (missing the center
dimension to sum with the other provided dimensions to know the diameter). Please
provide that information on sht 9.
Flair and taper lengths at the approaches and exits are now labeled. These are

This portion of Collamer Road is a local street, not an arterial. As such, it has a
design speed of 30 mph, per Table 7-3. The sag curve has an algebraic difference .

speed of 30mph both curves comply with Figures 7-17 and 7-18.

The crown slope on Timberline is nominally 2%. The centerline slope of Cherryhurst
at the intersection is also 2%. There is no crown transition. The crown slope from
Timberline continues smoothly as the centerline profile of Cherryhurst. The
transitions between the two streets occur in the curb returns.

[2/5/08] Light & Power Engineering will need to know the power requirements for
each building before the electric utility facilities can be designed. The developer will
also need to coordinate with Light & Power Engineering the locations for electric
transformers. The dimensions of, and clearance requirements to the transformers
will vary depending on the building power requirements. Normal electric
development charges will apply.

[2/25/081 Based on discussion with the City Pavement Management Director, the
concrete road section proposed on Cherryhurst should extend and connect to the
concrete roundabout. Because it is an arterial roadway, it is not preferred to have
several concrete to asphalt transitions. Asphalt and concrete costs are almost the
same based on new cost data provided to the City.
This area has been changed to concrete.

[2/25/08] Timberline Road Design — The interim and ultimate Timberline design
needs to be shown for the entire street cross section along the frontage of the
property with cross sections for both provided every 50 feet. The preliminary off -site
design needs to show centerline and both flowline profiles as well as cross sections.
Please refer to LCUASS 7.4.1(8) for off -site design requirements. There will likely be
medians and turn lanes into the site with the ultimate design. The ultimate cross
sections should show how the crown of the road will be constructed with respect to
the median locations.
Cross -sections on Timberline are provided for the interim buildout along the frontage
of the property. Cross -sections on Timberline are provided for the ultimate buildout,
extending 1,000 feet south of the property, through the property frontage, and 1,000
feet north of the property. Medians and turn lanes are shown in the ultimate cross -
sections.
The Timberline interim profiles show centerline and flowline profiles where there is
new construction. Only centerline is shown north and south of new construction as
there is no curb and gutter, hence no flowline, in these areas.
The Timberline ultimate buildout profiles show centerline and flowline for their entire
length.

mph, algebraic grade difference of 5-6 percent. Please revise the curves and show
the flowline profiles for off -site preliminary design as well per LCUASS 7.4.1(8).

[2/29/08] Forestry (Tim Buchanan): These notes should be added to the landscape
plan.
"The soil in all landscape areas, including parkways and medians, shall be
thoroughly loosened to a depth of not less than 8 inches and soil amendment shall
be thoroughly incorporated into the soil of all landscape areas to a depth of at least 6
inches by tilling, disking or other suitable method, at a rate of at least 3 cubic yards
of soil amendment per 1,000 square feet of landscape area.
A permit must be obtained from the City forester before any trees or shrubs as noted
on this plan are planted, pruned or removed on the public right-of-way. This
includes zones between the sidewalk and curb, medians and other city property.
This permit shall approve the location and species to be planted. Failure to obtain
this permit may result in replacing or relocating trees and a hold on certificate of
occupancy.
The developer shall contact the City forester to inspect all street tree plantings at the
completion of each phase of the development. All trees need to have been installed
as shown on the landscape plan. Approval of street tree planting is required before
final approval of each phase. Failure to obtain approval by the City forester for
street trees in a phase shall result in a hold on certificate of occupancy for future
phases of the development."
