05/28/2013: Please clarify where the water quality requirements will be met.
04/30/2013: The site is required to provide water quality treatment per City of Fort Collins
standards. This can be done on -site, in the existing detention ponds, or a combination of both.
If the existing detention ponds are used for this site's water quality mitigation, the ponds would
need to be retrofitted to treat all the flows that drain to the ponds.

rather indication . . the utility easements conveyed to the City -,a subject to restrictions set
forth in their note (and out updated plat language indicated in the previous comment has similar
restriction language). If the easements identified as "U" on the plat were intended to only be
dedicated to FCLWD/SFCSD, the City should still have easements for these areas as well for
City and other franchise utilities. If ultimately easements are intended to be dedicated to
FCLWD/SFCSD, it would seem that they need to sign the plat signifying their acceptance.

easement for le,,-. grade:
(1) Structures and landscaping within the easement shall not exceed 24 inches in height with
the following exceptions:
(a) Fences up to 42 inches in height may be allowed as long as they do not obstruct the line of
sight for motorists.
(b) Deciduous trees may be allowed as long as all branches of the trees are trimmed so that
no portion thereof or leaves thereon hang lower than eight (8) feet above the ground, and the
trees are spaced such that they do not obstruct line of sight for motorists. Deciduous trees with
trunks large enough to obstruct line of sight for motorists shall be removed by the owner.
For non -level areas these requirements shall be modified to provide the same degree of
visibility.
05/01/2013: Both access points onto Avondale Road appear to require sight distance
easements per the requirements in Figure 7-16 of the street standards. The amount of sight
distance is estimated in some regards with Avondale Road not designed to the east but does
appear to conflict with building placement. It should be noted that AASHTO has provided newer
criteria regarding sight distance that has resulted in the City accepting variances to the values
specified in Figure 7-16 resulting in typically a smaller required easement.

05/01/2013: The subdivision plat has a note regarding conveying easements specific to Fort
Collins/Loveland Water District & South Fort Collins Sanitation District while the City's certificate
of dedication statement indicates that the undersigned is conveying streets and easements laid
out and designated on the plat. Since both entities have statements regarding the dedication of
easements, it may call into question what are the easements being granted to City vs.
easement being granted to FCLWD/SFCSD. Granting specific easements to FCLWD/SFCSD
isn't a concern from my standpoint, though I'm wondering since their facilities are located in
areas that are labelled as U, D & EAE, it may be open to interpretation as to whether the U, D &
EAEs are being conveyed to the City, FCLWD/SFCSD, or both. Perhaps each easement
needs to be identified as to whom it is being dedicated to in order to leave out any ambiguity
and on top of the U, D & EAE is also easements specifically for FCLWD/SFCSD. Or if
acceptable to FCLWD/SFCSD, their statement might not have easements dedicated to them but
(and identifies PE, .i Drive as Avondale Road).

06/18/2013: On the site plan note, please add after "Half cul-de-sac turnaround is temporary and
is to be removed and replaced", the words: "by the property owner/HOA,".
05/29/2013: This was addressed on the site plan but is unknown with the other documents as
only a site plan appears to have been submitted.
05/01/2013: The extension of Avondale Road appears to depict a temporary turnaround on the
plans and the plat shows an emergency access easement. Please label the area as a
temporary turnaround on the site, landscape, and construction plans. The plat needs to add
access easement to the emergency access easement designation as the temporary
turnaround is not just intended for emergency services but for general public use. The
construction plans show the use of vertical curb across the turnaround and would need to be
built as driveover curb to more easily allow vehicles to turnaround.

06/18/2013: Carried over for reference to verify sight distance easement language is added to
the plat. Note that "sight distance triangle easement" needs to be changed to "sight distance
easement" on the plat.
05/29/2013: The variance request to reduce the amount of sight distance easement was
approved by the City on 5/30/2013. The subdivision plat will need to reflect the placement of
the sight distance easement as indicated on the variance exhibit. The landscape plan will need
to be amended to reflect the removal of the Austrian Pine and Colorado Spruce that would be
in the sight distance easement. In addition, in consultation with the Traffic Engineer, the first two
street trees along Avondale Road on either side of the driveways (4 total) abutting the sight
distance easement would need to be removed for better visibility. Sight distance easement
language needs to be provided on the plat as follows:
Sight Distance Easement i The sight distance easement is an easement required by the City at
some street intersections where it is necessary to protect the line of sight for a motorist
needing to see approaching traffic and to react safely for merging their vehicle into the traffic
flow. The following are requirements for certain objects that may occupy a sight distance
