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, NORTHERN ENGINEERING SERVICES, INC. Kimberly J. Dall, EI Project Engineer Number: 60 Created: 5/31 /2006 [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. Number: 74 Created: 6/30/2006 [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. Number: 75 Created: 6/30/2006 [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. Nl� Number: 72 Created: 6/28/2006 [6/28/06] Please revise the property boundary indication on the site, landscape, and construction drawings to reflect the right-of-way dedication on Strauss Cabin Road. • The property boundary has been revised on all sheets. Number: 73 Created: 6/28/2006 [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. Number: 62 Created: 5/31 /2006 [6/30/06] [5/31/06] WATER SUPPLY FOR DUPLEXES: Minimum water flow and spacing for the properties with duplex residences is 1,500 g.p.m. at 20 psi residual pressure, located not farther than 300 feet to any building, on 600-foot centers • This comment has been noted. Number: 22 Created: 1 /27/2006 [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. Number: 25 Created: 1 /27/2006 [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 on the construction drawings. (The County and the Ditch Company, as well as the District will need to sign off on the plans before the City does). • The signature blocks have been added to the cover. Number: 51 Created: 5/24/2006 [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. [5/24/06] With ID 26 regarding the use of concrete for Rock Creek Drive, please then provide a concrete joint pattern detail for the street section. • This comment has been noted, thank you for the information. Number: 53 Created: 5/24/2006 [6/28/06] Carried over for reference. [5/24/06] In addition to the County signing the plans, please provide an easement type letter from the County authorizing the grading and utility work being done on their property for our files. • This letter will be provided from the County once the plans are City -approved. Number: 71 Created: 6/28/2006 [6/28/06] Please provide flowline profiles for Rock Creek Drive and Daylight Court in the plan set. • Flowline profiles have been added to the plan set.

College Ave. Suite 100 www.northernengineering.com Fort Collins, CO 80524 FAX: 970.221.4159 City of Fort Collins Planning Department Q t 006 281 North College Avenue Fort Collins, Colorado 80524 �J t' 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. /Q£SPvNSE 7-4
