10/26/2011: Whenever storm drains 24" or larger cross over water mains or sanitary sewers,
place the water mains and sanitary sewers in steel casings which extend 10 each side of the
storm drain. Label the diameter and thickness of the casings.
Steel casing details and callouts have been added to the plans.
Comment Number: 9 Comment Originated: 10/26/2011
10126/2011: How will the existing sewer that is to be re-routed be abandoned? If MH bases
are poured around the existing pipe, there is concern that there will not be a good invert
channel through the manhole.
This will require further discussion with the Contractor at the DCP pre -construction meeting. A
note has been added to the plans as well.
Comment Number: 10 Comment Originated: 10/26/2011
10126/2011: Add steel casings to the water and sanitary sewer where these cross under the

10/25/2011: The swale along the north side of Native Plant Way has a longitudinal slope of 1%.
Normally slopes less than 2% require a pan. Slopes between 1 % and 2% can have a soft
bottom if the invert of the swale is treated per Stormwater Criteria, which includes a sandy
bottom. The invert of the swale should include a sandy loam bottom 2 feet wide and 1 foot
deep.
The construction plans now specify a 2' wide, 1' deep sand bottom.

10/25/2011: The swale along the north side of Native Plant Way also has 3:1 side slopes in
several locations. This would require a variance to our standard criteria if 4:1 slopes are not
achievable. Good justification is required to grant a variance.
See Section 12 of the Drainage Report for documentation/justification for the limited areas of 3:1
slopes.

10/25/2011: Staff has reviewed the 2011 (First) Annual Groundwater and Vegetation Monitoring
Report prepared by Cedar Creek Associates for the applicant. Staff appreciates the willingness
by the applicant to collect baseline and post -construction data that ensures the wetlands
continue to function at a similar level to what is presently observed. Staff appreciates the effort
by the consultant to not only collect scientific data on the vegetation and groundwater levels at
the site, but also the effort to collect experiential knowledge (via the farmer who has been
haying the site for quite some time). Staff recognizes that this experiential knowledge suggests
the hydrology at these wetlands has been dynamic over the past few years especially. As the
monitoring results are reviewed in the future, both the scientific and the experiential data will be
assessed to evaluate site changes.

Topic: Landscape Plans
Comment Number: 4 Comment Originated: 10/25/2011
10/25/2011: In light of the pet restriction being placed on the project, City Staff would like to
discuss changing the character of the fence on the site. Originally, the intention was to deter
both human and pet encroachment into the wetlands. However, with the pet restriction in place,
staff would like to explore the removal of the metal rail fence and instead suggest the
installation of a split -rail or similar type fence that would still deter humans but facilitate wildlife
movement throughout the site to a higher degree than the metal rail fence would. To
discourage social trails through the wetlands, signs installed along the fence could remind
those passing by that the area has been protected for its natural features to encourage folks to
stay out of the wetlands.
An alternative fence has been proposed that is approximately 4.5 feet high and would allow for
small animals to move underneath. We are hopeful that this fence is a good compromise between
what the City's Natural Resource Department would like and a higher barrier preferred by some
neighborhood residents. See Sheet 2 of 23 in the FDP set.

10/26/2011: As a reminder of prior discussions, the City will be incorporating items into the
development agreement pertaining to the existing Rolland Moore Drive's reconfiguration into
Perennial Lane and the extension of the new Rolland Moore Drive. Among these items are 1)
CSURF's responsibility for reimbursing the City of Fort Collins for one-half of the actual design
and construction costs of the existing Rolland Moore Drive that stubs off of Centre Ave. 2) The
City will not extend reimbursement right for a portion of the proposed new Rolland Moore Drive
equal to the length of the existing Rolland Moore Drive roadway that was previously built. 3)
The applicant is responsible for all the costs pertaining towards the removal of the unused
portions of existing Rolland Moore Drive with it now connecting to Perennial Lane, including
landscaping of the Gardens at Spring Creek and application for the vacation of right-of-way of
the eventual unused portions of roadway.

- Additional review and comment may be needed upon providing the additional information. It
would be of benefit if a rain garden design/report was provided addressing the items noted
above with the report being signed and stamped by the engineer.
A meeting with multiple City departments was held on 11103/2011, during which additional
comments and details were discussed. Section 12.2 of the Drainage Report contains additional
description as well.
Comment Number: 10 Comment Originated: 10/26/2011
10/26/2011: The northeast corner of Perennial Lane and Rolland Moore Drive shows a 7.1 %
grade along the flowline of the curb return on the plan and profile sheets. Another steep grade
along the flowline of curb return is at the southwest comer of Centre Avenue and Rolland Moore
Drive at about 6.1 % These steeper grades around the curb returns along the flowline need to
be looked at and reduced in some manner. There are concems of how steep the access ramp
cross slopes presumably are for pedestrians entering the intersections. Additionally, does this
introduce the possibility that flows from the street won't actually want to remain in the flowline of
the street but will want to enter the access ramp/sidewalk system itself? Spot elevations and
longitudinal grade information along the sidewalks/access ramps at these steeper intersections
should be provided to demonstrate that flows along the gutter are maintained. Perhaps
roadway crowns should be flattened to make the amount of grade change along the flowlines
less prominent in these instances.
The design has been revised and additional information has been added to address these
concerns.
Comment Number: 11 Comment Originated: 10/26/2011
10/26/2011: Note that the flowline profile grades don't necessarily match the grades shown
along the same flowlines on the intersection details sheets such as the Perennial Lane/Rolland

Comment Number: 9 Comment Originated: 10/26/2011
10/26/2011: The rain garden concept needs to have additional design information provided in
the construction plan set for final plan review. City staff with representatives of both Engineering
and Stormwater had the opportunity to meet and review the final plan submittal and identified
key considerations and issues. Among the information needed and concerns with the
information provided thus far:
- Indicate locations on the Rolland Moore Drive plan and profile views where the openings for
the rain gardens are intended.
The curb opening and overflow locations have been added to Sheets R1-R2.
- Provide a detail on how the curb and gutter section transitions to and from the opening for the
rain gardens.
See Sheet D10.
- The flowline grade around the neckdowns past where the opening for the rain gardens occurs
must remain on -grade. There are several instances where the grade goes negative past the
openings which is of concern. The City requires that positive grade be maintained around the
neckdowns to minimize the amount of retrofit needed should the rain garden use be eliminated
and drainage is perpetuated around the neckdowns along the flowline.
Per the 11/0312011 rain garden design meeting, it was determined that flows can continue through
the rain gardens, even in the retrofit scenario. The main differences are that the cobble infiltration
swale will get lined in concrete and the overlow weirs will get cut flush so that the landscaped curb
extensions become 'pass through' with respect to gutter flows,
- Provide cross -sectional information of the rain gardens, including soil media information and
depth, indication of underdrain (typical depth?), bedding material/wrap around the underdrain,
etc.
See Sheet D10.
- Some structural analysis is needed to indicate how the structural integrity of the roadway and
curb and gutter section is maintained where Rolland Moore Drive abuts the rain garden. There
is the potential concern that the soil needed to effectively allow the necessary percolation for
the success of the rain garden does not provide sufficient integrity to the abutting curb and
gutter and roadway section. There may need to be the exploration of either the use of more
native soil to provide sufficient stabilization abutting the public infrastructure that then slopes off
to the different media specific to the rain gardens, and/or the use of a concrete wall extending
below the curb and gutter of the neckdown to provide that support.
See Sheet D10. 2' wide compacted subgrade sections lined with cobble will support the adjacent
curbs and sidewalks.
- Indicate how the rain garden design is intended to be perpetuated for drainage where the rain
garden is interrupted by driveways. There is a concern on the premise of flows leaving a rain
garden, draining across a driveway and then reentering a rain garden on the other side of the
driveway. If flows leave the street section into a rain garden, the flows shouldn't then re-enter
the street system and then move to a successive rain garden.
The overflow weir sections create 'mini ponds' in the rain gardens encouraging full infiltration of the
minor storm events. Only major storm events will leave the rain gardens and continue to flow
across downstream cross -pans.
- It would be beneficial to provide some documentation that the plant species specified in the
landscaping plan for the rain garden areas were viewed as appropriate for the rain garden
design, function and use.
Plant material has been selected from native plants that are drought tolerant but can handle

repay obligation (which has not yet been received), and discuss with the City Attorney's Office
when this requirement may legally be imposed. In addition, CSURF and Campus Crest need to
discuss with the City Attorney's Office legal issues in connection with requirements 2 and 3 above.
