04/19/2011: More information is needed on the connection of the flood control channel

flows in Spring Creek will back up into the flood channel. This will create a wetland within
the flood channel. The plans also do not show the scour protection within Spring Creek
that was designed with the BRT CLOMR. Coordination needs to take place between
these two projects for a design that meets all parties design needs and City requirements.

these sub -basins.

Projects -Street Oversizing that the City provides reimbursement for the oversized portions
of street components only to the extent that what was there previously is either
substandard or non-existent. With the construction of new detached sidewalk,
reimbursement from the local to oversized condition is only to the extent that there is either
no sidewalk or non -compliant (less than ADA width) sidewalk previously in place. Thus the
portions of existing attached sidewalk that are being removed and installed as detached
will not have reimbursement rights extended to the applicant.

04/20/2011: We did receive feedback from CDOT earlier this week. In addition to previous
comments regarding concern on the trees in the landscape island, providing a subdrain,
and the use of barrier curb, the following comments were provided from CDOT:
1) Remove CDOT as a signature on the construction plans.
2) Please add lane width dimensions along College Avenue and explain any deficiencies to
CDOT's requirements.
3) Contact Gloria Hice-Idler to start coordinating CDOT approvals as access permits, a
utility permit, and a landscape permit will be required. Because there's changes to existing
accesses, creation of new accesses, and closures of existing, several access permits will
be required but these can all be applied for using a single set of plans.
[2/18/11] CDOT met with the City on 2/18 and indicated that they needed to have additional

04/20/2011: With the proposed landscaping now shown on the drawings some input from
CDOT in this regard: 1) CDOT indicates that they will not support the placement of street
trees in the median. The City is currently doing further analysis on this and may wish to
pursue appealing CDOT's decision (a sight distance analysis of the street tree placement
is forthcoming from Ward Stanford). 2) CDOT requires the installation of an underdrain
system as a result of the landscaping of this median.
[2/16/111 What is the manner in which the landscaping being removed will be mitigated
with the median reduction taking place in College Avenue that removes several trees and
landscaping? I'm understanding that Community Development and Neighborhood
Services has a general concern about the landscaping and trees that along the median in
College Avenue that would be removed with the construction of the larger left turn lane
onto the site. Will the installation of the new median directly north result in the installation of
low lying plantings as mitigation for the lost landscaping. Will the narrowed down median
that creates the longer left turn lane have landscaping installed?

04/20/2011: Feedback from CDOT indicates that they will require barrier curb (without a
gutter) to instead be installed for the new concrete ribbon median as well as the new curb
for the median porkchop. The depth of the barrier curb for the median ribbons will need to
match the depth of the surrounding existing curb and gutter and dowelled per CDOT
criteria. The depth of the barrier curb for the new median porkchop will need to be at a
minimum the projected curb and gutter depth of the barrier curb medians on either side.
[2/16/11] The apparent new concrete "ribbon" median extending the left turn stack into the
site should have additional information on sheet 15. Please indicate a flowline to flowline
width of this median. If it's intended that the existing median along the west side of College
is to remain, how will the new median transition to the existing median? It seems that the
existing median no longer has the gutter at existing finished grade due to successive
overlays and the new median gutter would need to then be set below finished grade in
order to tie into existing. Please provide spot elevations along the gutter (or final pavement
grade if gutter is set below) along with cross -sections at several locations in order to
understand how drainage along the extended turn lane is intended to function.
