[7/18/08] Please use a 15-inch pipe instead of a 12-inch for the pond outlet which is our
minimum. Also, please revise the text in the report to mention 15-inch.
Number: 94 Created: 7/18/2008
[7/18/08] As per Randy's comment, sheet C2.1 shows the drainage to spill over the retaining
wall. This is allowed, but may create ponding near the top of the wall and cause problems
with the wall's structural capabilities.
Number: 95 Created: 7/18/2008
[7/18/08] Please provide a drainage easement for the storm sewer that drains the parking
areas.
Number: 96 Created: 7/18/2008
[7/18/08] Please provide 10 feet of separation between all storm sewers and canopy trees. 6
to 8 feet of separation is OK between storm sewers and ornamental trees. See redlines on
landscape plan.
Another round of review is determined to be necessary before City staff would consider
asking for mylars of the development plans. Be sure and return all red -lined plans when
you re -submit documents.
If you have any questions regarding these issues or any other issues related to this project,
please feel free to call me at 221-6341.
Yours Truly,

Topic: Fire
Number: 87 Created: 7/17/2008
[7/17/08] EMERGENCY VEHICLE ACCESS: Providing a hard -surface drive on the west
side of the campus, via what is labeled as the Ditch Maintenance Road, would improve
emergency response capabilities. This maintenance road is shown on the various site
drawings, but in actuality it no longer exists; grass has been allowed to grow over any
existing road, and there are numerous trees, dirt piles, etc., on the nursery property that
affects any possible access from the adjoining drive to the north (an Emergency Access
Easement that begins at Strasburg). Vehicular access currently is available only from
Triangle Drive, so putting a hard surface on the ditch road would only improve emergency
vehicle access. Please contact me so we can discuss options for improving the ditch road.
Number: 88 Created: 7/17/2008
[7/17/08] 3 LEVELS/4 LEVELS: Just an FYI - a three-story building with a walkout
basement is considered a four-story building for emergency response purposes, since we
measure from the lowest level of fire department vehicle access.
Number: 89 Created: 7/17/2008
[7/17/08] 2 FIRE LINES: Plans show two 6-inch fire lines (to supply the automatic fire -
sprinkler system) for the buildings, which I believe is an error.
Department: Stormwater-Water-Wastewater Issue Contact: Wes Lamarque
Topic: Stormwater
Number: 69 Created: 5/l/2008
[7/18/08] Reminder Comment.
[5/l/08] Signed off -site drainage easements will be required before signing of mylars.
Number: 90 Created: 7/ 18/2008
[7/18/08] All the storm sewers already outlet at the irrigation water surface elevation of the
detention pond, so the lowering of the outlets is no longer needed. There will be times when
the irrigation level in the pond is lower during the winter, so erosion control is still important
for the slopes below the outlet. Please provide a riprap detail and cross-section. The City
normally requires the riprap to be buried. Only the riprap for the emergency spillway needs
to be buried due to the fact it will be permanently exposed. The irrigation pipe can outlet
into the pond higher as discussed in our meeting if erosion concerns are mitigated.
Number: 91 Created: 7/ 18/2008
[7/18/08] Please show the HGL on the storm sewer profiles.
Number: 92 Created: 7/ 18/2008
[7/18/08] Please rotate the water quality opening so the vertical dimension is 3 inches and
the horizontal is 2 inches. Since the WQ elevation is .4 feet, this will better reflect a staged
release.

[6/27/08] Please be consistent with easement labeling throughout the plan set. Remove
"pedestrian" from the access easement designation.
Number: 76 Created: 6/27/2008
[6/27/08] Please accurately show the truncated dome warning strips on the driveway/ramp
drawings. The strips are rectangular and perpendicular to the driveway and ramps. Please
also show the sidewalk crossing limits and cross slopes on the driveway construction details
on sheet C6.0. 2 percent max. on the sidewalk portion and 1:12 max. on the driveway
portion.
Number: 77 Created: 6/27/2008
[6/27/08] Please label the on -site parking lot inlets on the grading plan and utility plan
sheets.
Number: 78 Created: 6/27/2008
[6/27/08] Cross section E as shown on C2.0 is missing from sheet C2.4. Either remove the
cross section designation or add the cross section. Your choice.
Number: 79 Created: 6/27/2008
[6/27/08] There appears to be a couple small areas behind the retaining wall adjacent to
Triangle Drive that could potentially collect water. See comments on sheet C2.1 and revise
accordingly to prevent any ponding of water behind the walls.
Number: 80 Created: 6/27/2008
[6/27/08] See retaining wall details on sheet C2.4. No wall foundations are permitted to
encroach into Utility Easements or cross property lines unless approved by easement holder
or property owner. Please provide all bottom of footing and top of wall elevations so we can
easily determine which walls must be constructed under a separate building permit.
Number: 81 Created: 6/27/2008
[6/27/08] No ROW and Easement dedications were provided with this submittal. All
dedication deeds, legal descriptions and associated review fees must be provided, reviewed
and approved (ready to record) prior to final plan approval.
Number: 82 Created: 6/27/2008
[6/27/08] See redlines for any additional minor comments related to drafting, notes or
labeling. Revisions will not require another formal round of review. All comments can be
addressed by email, telephone and mylars (engineering comments only). The ditch Company
and Water District will need to sign the plans prior to the City. Please provide redlines with
mylar submittal. Thank you.

submitted for signatures.
Number: 99 Created: 7/29/2008
[7/29/08] Don Kapperman of Comcast Cable TV offered the following comment:
a. Comcast Cable has fiber on the north side of Triangle Drive to Avondale Road. If the
fiber is in the way or needs to be lowered the MeadowView Campus project will need
to pay all expenses to relocate the fiber.

[6/27/08] No comments have been provided to the City by the Louden Ditch Company. It
should be understood that the Ditch Company will be required to sign the final plans prior to
the City and any revisions requested by the Ditch Company must be reviewed and approved
by the City prior to plotting any mylars.

routed plans and will be required to sign the final plans. Please be sure to provide any
comments from Louden Ditch with your next submittal.

done however, if you wish to have the Site Plan in the plan set please add in clear bold text
FOR REFERENCE ONLY on the bottom right hand corner and in the title block.
Number: 73 Created: 6/27/2008
[6/27/08] Please clearly show and label existing HC ramps at the intersection with Strasburg
Dr. If ramps do not exist at this location, this development may be responsible for
installation to meet pedestrian level of service requirements.
Number: 74 Created: 6/27/2008
[6/27/08] If there is an existing driveway cut for the ditch maintenance road, please clearly
show and label it on the plans.

Poudre Fire Authority (PFA)/Cane Dann
a. PFA needs a surface for the ditch road that is acceptable for fire trucks.
b. Emergency access to the site is less than ideal. The proposed sprinklers are "saving the
bacon".
C. By definition, PFA considers the east end of the building to be 4 stories in height. A
standpipe is needed in that location.
Environmental Planner/Dana Leavitt
a. Dana wants to meet with Tory of Alpine Gardens to talk about providing sufficient
plantings in the buffer areas.
b. On the replat, need a note about "stuff' in the buffer area. Dana will provide the
wording for the note.
Number: 101 Created: 7/30/2008
[7/30/08] What has been decided about a possible replat of the property? As previously
stated, a replat would have to go to the Planning & Zoning Board at a public hearing since it
was not part of PDP review and approval.
Number: 102 Created: 7/30/2008
[7/30/08] Please see red -lined Site & Landscape Plans with Current Planning's comments.
Number: 103 Created: 7/30/2008
[7/30/08] No Building elevations were submitted with the Final Plan. As they are required as
part of a Final Plan submittal, 3 copies of the elevations must be submitted with the next
round of review.

[7/16/08] Show the complete buffer line on the Plat, Site Plan and the Landscape Plan.
Label on all plans as such: Natural Feature Buffer. No need to have a reference to the
distance.
Topic: Landscape Plan
Number: 84 Created: 7/ 16/2008
[7/16/08] A meeting with the preparer of the Landscape Plan will be the best way to resolve
the inadequacy of the Landscape Plan.
