11/22/2011: The smaller detention pond/channel on the east side of the site does not meet the
City's Detention Pond Design and Landscape Standards. These "craters" have been
scrutinized by City Council and are not compatible with our standards.

11/22/2011: Scour protection needs to be included in the design of the revised channel due to
the higher flows and the curvature of the channel.

11/22/2011: There are several safety concerns with this site due to the proximity of the channel
and the school. The intake just east of the revised bridge is a concern and a kid safe grate
should be included here.

11/22/2011: There needs to be .5 tol foot of freeboard to the bottom chord of the bridge.

11/22/2011: The landscape plan has a sidewalk on the northern side of the Phase 1 addition
that is not shown on the site plan and the utility plan. Please clarify which plan is accurate. This
sidewalk would create separation between the building and the channel, which a new retaining
wall would also be required.

11/23/2011: Please show the intended limits of removal for the trail going from Phase I to
Phase II. I'm concerned that if the intention is to remove as little trail as possible from Phase I to
Phase II that the new portion of trail in Phase II would be poured at an acute angle. In addition,
with minimal removal limits, the joint spacing pattern would be awkward.

11/23/2011: Provide construction plan details for sidewalk, drive approaches, etc. in
accordance with Larimer County Urban Area Street Standards details. Please use the provided
metal sidewalk culvert detail in lieu of the version that's in LCUASS and the City's Storm
Drainage Criteria manual.

11/23/2011: The proposed rerouting of the trail to the north to Limon Drive was met with
questions from City transportation staff as a whole, wondering how perhaps it can be addressed
to the P&Z Board that the proposed realigned design is in keeping with the ODP for Rigden
Farm which the approved ODP more reflects the trail design as is in place today.

11/23/2011: The proposed placement of a retaining wall abutting the trail is of concern without
any shy distance (minimum of 2 feet would be needed) and in addition, the amount of drop off
that occurs (appears to be around 4 feet). Even with a 2 foot offset provided, it seems handrails
or some other type of barrier be provided in light of the drop off.

11/23/2011: For the portion of trail built in Phase II that's abutting the parking lot, the trail width of
10 feet should exclude the curb and gutter section in the 10 foot width. Ideally though (if the trail
isn't intended to be used as part of the site program for pickup/drop-off) the trail should be
detached from the parking lot drive aisle (and perhaps the Type R inlet can then be placed
outside of the trail.)

11/23/2011: With the understanding from Stormwater comments that a vacation of a drainage
easement is required with an approved redesign of the drainage, please nite that this is a $400
Transportation Development Review Fee to process the vacation, similar to a vacation that
would potentially vacate portions of the access easement for the trail (with Larimer County
Recordation fees to record these documents also needing to be assessed.)

11/23/2011: How will removal of the street tree along Limon Drive for the driveway approach be
addressed?

11/23/2011: Two Development Construction Permits will be required prior to the
commencement of each of the two phases for construction.

1.Staff is concerned about the trail re -alignment. As proposed, it is not as convenient and
direct. from the overall neighborhood prospective. A more direct alignment is preferred.
Comment Number: Comment Originated: 11/23/2011
2. The plans do not include a drop-off / pick-up circulation plan and the submittal did not include
a T.I.S. A circulation plan should be implemented so that traffic on Custer is minimized.

4. Staff recommends that the walls of gymnasium be mitigated with day -lighting features. This
will help with internal illumination and soften the large exterior walls that are visible from public
streets.
