HomeMy WebLinkAboutSUNRISE RIDGE, FIRST FILING - FDP - 13-05C - CORRESPONDENCE - (5)1. Current Planning is concerned about placing street trees within the parkway along
Strauss Cabin Road where the proposed slope is 2:1. Current Planning will check with the
City Forester regarding this planting condition within the public right-of-way.
•The grades have been revised to ensure no areas steeper than 4:1
Please review these comments with our submittal of Sunrise Ridge first Filing, and please also note that
time is of the essence; it is imperative for the drawings to be approved by August 1, 2006, we will do
everything we can to give the City and other involved entities our cooperation and diligence to help
achieve this goal.
Thank you for your time and consideration,

[6/30/06] Please revise the spot elevation on the northeast corner of lot 10.
[5/31/06] Please provide spot elevations at all lot corners and label low points and high
points. See redlined plans.
• The spot elevation has been revised.

[6/30/06] Please have the 6-foot utility easement on Lot 10 also include a drainage easement
for the storm sewer that runs along the east side of Lot 10.
• The easement has been relabeled.

[6/30/06] 1. Your construction sequence/BMP installation schedule indicates such things
such as:
Overlot grading will commence first, and continue throughout the project?
The construction of most other items (water/sewer/storm/concrete/etc.) will begin next and
continue throughout the rest of the project?
Etc.
Please provide a more realistic schedule for the beginning/ending of various project items,
and time them appropriately with the BMP's being utilized.
• The timelines have been updated to be more definitive.
2. On my review set, sheets G1 & G2 still are not indicated as erosion control sheets. Neither
is this designation indicated on the cover sheet table of contents. None of the other
comments appear to be addressed on my review set, either. Please correct.
• The titles have been changed to reflect the contents of the sheets. All redlined comments are to be
addressed with this submittal.
1. Light and Power is concerned about the steep grades between the sidewalk and the
curb along Strauss Cabin Road. This location must accommodate underground electrical
facilities. Please contact Doug Martine at 221-6700 to discuss system design in this area.
• The grades have been revised to ensure no areas steeper than 4:1.
2. Light and Power may have a conflict with water and sewer services on Lots 7 and 12.
For example, on Lot 7, the water and sewer services may have to be moved from the corner
to the middle of the lot.
• The services can be moved to accommodate the dry utilities.

[6/28/06] With the 2:1 slopes presently shown for the area between the sidewalk and Strauss
Cabin Road will a parkway strip with street trees be easily maintainable for the development?
• The slopes have been limited to a 4:1 maximum slope, which should be maintainable.

[6/30/06] Reminder Comment
[5/31/06] Offsite drainage agreement is needed before signing of mylars.
[3/17/06] This is needed before a hearing.
[1/27/06] Please provide a letter from the owners of the detention pond stating the
modification and expansion of the pond is acceptable and also a maintenance agreement will
be agreed upon in the future.
*The agreements are finalized and will be signed and submitted as soon as possible.

[6/30/06] Reminder Comment
[5/31/06] Repeat Comment.
[3/17/06] Repeat Comment.
[1/27/06] Off -site drainage easements on the lot to the south, as well as on the property to
the west are required. Letters of intent are required before a public hearing.
• The agreements are finalized and will be signed and submitted as soon as possible.
Number: 57 Created: 5/31 /2006
[6/30/06] Repeat Comment.
[5/31/06] Detailed grading is required showing a building envelope for each lot. Even though
the lots are larger than the typical, the structures will most likely be large.
• A building envelope and detailed grading plan with top of foundation and finish grade elevations
labeled has been added for each lot. Please reference the grading plan.
m
[3/21/06] The plans don't appear to clearly show the intent of providing sidewalk along
Strauss Cabin Road abutting Lot 12. In discussion with Transportation Planning, the
sidewalk should be provided at this time. In looking at the grading plan it is apparent that the
sidewalk cannot be provided with the grades proposed. Please address in the design how
the sidewalk can be provided meeting standards at this time. Please note that even if the
sidewalk were to be deferred at a later date the grading shown on the plans needs to be able
to accommodate the future sidewalk.
• The cross sections have been added to the Grading Plan, calling out the one -foot clearance on the
west side of the walk. Slopes have been labeled, and are 4:1 maximum slope.
Number: 50 Created: 5/24/2006
[6/28/06] Please also provide the North Poudre and Larimer County signature blocks on the
cover sheet.
[5/24/06] The pipe on the County property for the Ditch Company on the west side of Strauss
Cabin Road is okay to Engineering provided that the County and the Ditch Company sign off

will need to sign off on the plans before the City does).
• The signature blocks have been added to the cover.

[6/28/06] The CDOT M-Standard reference is acceptable. When specifying CDOT criteria,
CDOT does require epoxy doweling. The City does not require the epoxy. It may be worth
noting if the contractor specs this out.

a concrete joint pattern detail for the street section.

Project: Sunrise Ridge First Filing
RE: Staff Comments for Final Compliance
Northern Engineering has received the staff comments for the Sunrise Ridge Residential Development
at Strauss Cabin Road, dated July 5, 2006. We have reviewed these comments and offer the following
responses, in order of the comments given:
Number: 26 Created: 1 /31 /2006
[6/28/06] The plans specify using concrete from the east side (not west side) of the future
street connection to the south, this does not address the inadequate cover concern at the
intersection.
[5/24/06] In looking at the current submittal and discussion with the Pavement Management
Engineer, we would allow the substandard cover condition to exist provided that a concrete
street was built for Rock Creek Drive from the west side of the intersection to the south future
street to the intersection with Strauss Cabin Road. Should an asphalt street section be
desired, then the current design will not be accepted.
[3/21/06] This appears to still be the case with A, Al, and Al-1. Couldn't regrading occur to
provide more fall on this storm line? If there is no alternative in meeting the standards a
variance request is needed and we would likely look to using a concrete section for Rock
Creek Drive from the future street heading south to Strauss Cabin Road.
[1/31/06] There appears to be several storm sewer lines that have inadequate cover
requirements over the proposed street grade.
•The concrete section has been extended to include the entire intersection of Rock Creek Drive and
future Sunglow Court to address the inadequate cover issue.
Number: 44 Created: 3/21 /2006
[6/28/06] The cross -sections provided in the response letter should be included in the plan
set. The cross sections shown should label cross slopes. In general the cross sections
demonstrate too steep of a grade. Behind the sidewalk 1' of of clearance (no slope) needs to
be maintained and between the sidewalk and Strauss Cabin Road, 4:1 lopes are the
maximum allowed. Grades between the sidewalk and street appear to be as steep as 2:1.
[5/24/06] The grades shown on Sheet G1 may be of concern with regards to the placement
of the sidewalk. Please provide three cross -sections of the area behind the sidewalk, the
sidewalk, the parkway and Strauss Cabin Road to ascertain if the sidewalk can be built along
this area of steep grades.
