[10/5/07] A conflict on page 1 of the soils report needs to be corrected.
Under the first paragraph of Proposed Construction, the first sentence and
the next to last sentence state the complete opposite. One is saying that
this project is Single Family and the other says it's commercial with slab on
grade foundations.

[10/5/07] Susan Joy of the Engineering Department offered the following
comments:
a. The soils report as submitted does not contain information addressing
potential contamination in the soil on -site.
b. The soils report references commercial uses in this development. It
apparently is from a "boilerplate" report for some other development.
Please make the necessary changes to this report.
c. There is some concern about the location and alignment of part of the
new sidewalk along the north side of Falcon Drive, between this
development and South Taft Hill Road.
Department: Engineering Issue Contact: Susan Joy
Topic: General
Number: 136 Created: 10 / 4 / 2007
[10/4/07] The sidewalk configuration has changed since the last submittal
for a portion on the north side of Falcon Drive at South Taft Hill Road. The
plans are now showing an attached walk that meanders around the
mailbox. It appears that this is necessary in order to miss a stand of
existing trees. There are a couple of options here and another conflict that
needs to be discussed because it will effect the sidewalk placement as well.
The plans are currently showing the gas line between the sidewalk and the
curb where the electric line needs to go. The gas line needs to be placed in a
9' utility easement behind the ROW, which requires an off -site easement
and may require the trees be removed anyway. If that happens, then the
walk can be detached. We'll need to look at that more. Also, a variance to
the utilities is required in order to place them under the sidewalk.
If the variance is granted and the gas line can be constructed without
disturbing the trees, then we will approve the attached walk provided that:
1. The sidewalk width is increased 2' where attached.
2. The sidewalk on the entire north side of Falcon Drive is shifted south 2'
to meet the separation requirement between the existing fence and the
back of walk and the sidewalk is tapered more smoothly around the
mailbox. 15' radii should do it. The reason we want the entire stretch
moved is to eliminate all or as many of the shifting and/or kinks as we
can. There will be three typical street sections on the utility plans for
Falcon then, one for the N-S, one for the E-W detached and one for the
E-W attached portion.
3. The utility services approve.

[10/5/07] Has a streetlight plan been provided by City Light & Power so
that the street tree placement can be verified to meet the separation
requirements?
Number: 188 Created: 10/ 5/ 2007
[10/5/07] The proposed Common Lilac and Peking Cotoneaster shrubs in
the right-of-way (ROW) along the south side of Falcon Drive, opposite
Broadwing Road, are a good gesture to appease "car headlight" concerns of
the property owners on the south side of Falcon Drive. What guarantee is
there that these plants will be established and maintained over time? The
Landscape Plan does say that the Homeowner's Association is responsible
for all landscaping in the public ROW and common open areas; however,
unless the covenants for this development specify that the HOA is
responsible for these plants they could be overlooked. Generally, most
homeowners will not look at the recorded Landscape Plan.
Topic: Light & Power
Number: 176 Created: 10/5/2007
[10/5/07] Alan Rutz of Light & Power offered the following comments:
a. The proposed gas lines between sidewalk and curb cannot be in those
locations. Off -site easements from Xcel energy will probably be needed.
b. A streetlight layout plan is needed so that the required streetlight/ street
tree separations can be evaluated. Some adjustments may be
necessary.

Topic: General

[ 10/ 5 / 07] The hearing officer placed a condition on the approval of the
Project Development Plan (PDP) that states:
"The Applicant shall submit evidence of a soils report in conjunction
with the Final Plan evaluating the presence of soil contaminants on the
subject property."
The soils report submitted with the Final Plan does not appear to address
this condition of PDP approval. A revised soils report, clearly addressing the
condition, must be submitted for review. The Final Plans cannot be
approved and recorded until the condition of PDP approval is satisfied.

[10/5/07] Tim Varrone of the City's Geographical Information System

the Larimer County Inventory.
Topic: Landscape Plans

[10/5/07] The Final Landscape Plan does specify 2.0" caliper trees. This
should help appease the neighbors concerns.
[3/29/07] The Landscape Plan specifies 1.25" caliper street trees, which are
permitted by the table in Section 3.2.1(D)(4) Tree Species and Minimum
Sizes of the Land Use Code, for street trees on a Residential Local Street.
However, a neighbor has expressed a request for this development to
provide as much landscaping as possible to help mitigate the visual impact
of a number of new homes across Falcon Drive from the existing homes. The
standard minimum street tree size is 2.0" caliper. Although not required by
the City, it would be a significant and more considerate gesture if this
developer would initially plant at least 2.0" caliper street trees along the
