[5/24/07] Site plan. We don't need a plan showing existing features. Project Notes
and Tables should be on the actual site plan.
Number: 16 Created: 5/24/2007
[5/24/07] Site Plan: I am unclear as to what all of the dashed lines are denoting.
The setbacks for the zoning district dictate where the houses can be placed. Not
clear where the property lines are. It looks like you are showing them to the middle
of the streets. Please clearly label the property lines, easements and remove the
dashed lines that seem to show building envelopes on the plat.
Number: 17 Created: 5/24/2007
[5/24/07] Please remove topo lines from final site plan.
Number: 18 Created: 5/25/2007
[5/25/07] The outline of an existing barn is being shown on the site plan, please
remove that.
Number: 20 Created: 5/25/2007
[5/25/07] Landscape plan: Add a note to the landscape notes regarding installation
of landscaping prior to the issuance of a CO

Please provide swales to channel lot flows to the roadside swale between lots 2 and
3 , and between lots 12, 13 and 14.
Why is the pipe and spillway for Pond B not located at the low point ? Provide
erosion protection downstream of spillway.
Pond B is proposed with no water quality outlet structure, please revise to include
water quality structure and volume otherwise all the road runoff would go untreated.
Please provide some erosion protection such as matting between Pond C outfall and
existing pipe into the ditch.
Flows from Hidden Pond Drive into Pond C will wash out the path as soon as it
rains, please provide an adequate culvert crossing.
Please provide a letter of intent from the North Poudre Irrigation company for
draining into ditch.
Topic: Water/Sewer
Number: 23 Created: 5/29/2007
[5/29/07]
Please label all fittings and appurtenances.
Please call out length of water main between valves and fittings.
Please call out a thrust block and a 6" gate valve at the point where the water line
ties into the existing water main in Ziegler.
The main in Ziegler is a cathodically protected line. Please indicate that on the utility
plan.
Please add to the note that if ductile iron is used then, contractor shall provide a
minimum 2 foot long isolating section prior to connecting to the cathodically
protected main in Ziegler.
Since Ziegler is being built at this stage by the City, it would be a good idea to
coordinate with City's Street Oversizing program to have the City install the water
and sewer connections during their construction as to eliminate the need to tear up
the recently completed street improvements.
Please add a note to the plat indicating that the proposed grinder pumps are to be
owned and maintained by the individual property owners and the sewer forced main
shall be owned and maintained by the HOA.
Please see redlines for additional comments.

[5/18/07] If you would like to consider a lower level of lighting since this is a "private"
sort of area, please let me know. On the public drives, we can make provisions for
lighting at a normal level, but only install necessary lights. City lights aren't installed
on private drives.
Number: 5 Created: 5/18/2007
[5/18/07] It may be helpful to have a utility coordination meeting since the cul-de-sac
street frontages are small.

Topic: Fire
Number: 30 Created: 5/30/2007
[5/30/07] STREET NAME: According to the Larimer County "Rules of the Street,"
continuous roads should have continuous names. Based on that, where Hidden
Pond Drive makes a 90-degree turn, it should become Pond View Court (the Pond
View name should continue, since it's the straight -running street). For "Rules of the
Streets," see hftp://ftp.larimer.org/streets/rules.htm.
Number: 31 Created: 5/30/2007
[5/30/07] AUTOMATIC SPRINKLER INFORMATION ON PLAT: It shall be stated on
the final plat that all residences will be equipped with an approved, residential fire -
sprinkler system.
Number: 32 Created: 5/30/2007
[5/30/07] FIRE LANE: The Emergency Access Easement (fire lane) is required to be
maintained by the HOA. This information must be included in the HOA paperwork.
Also, if no gravel is laid on the sides of the paved private drive, the "NO PARKING
FIRE LANE" signs must be erected in such a way to convey to drivers to not park
their vehicles on the paved portion of the road.

Topic: Stormwater
Number: 29 Created: 5/29/2007
[5/29/07] Please provide a sizing and type for driveway culverts. Show proposed
locations.
At final please specify lot corner elevations and minimum finished floor elevations for
all lots.
The pipe outfall between lots 7 and 8 will require erosion protection and possible
drop structures. Show swale cross section, may need to move proposed path
further east so it is not washed away during larger storm events.

[5/29/07] The applicant is responsible for requesting the vacation of the row out to
Ziegler after project approval at the public hearing. The City will retain the area as an
access easement so that this property does not become landlocked. We want to wait
until after the hearing to verify that the project will go forward before we proceed with
the vacation. This development will still be responsible for the maintenance of the
drive and the landscaped area within the access easement. If the row is vacated, the
sidewalk connection to Ziegler does NOT have to be concrete, it can match
whatever is going in the development. The sidewalk will only need to become
concrete again where the Ziegler row exists.
If Council does not agree to vacate the row, then the old comment from Conceptual
Review applies. A note on the plat, site, landscape and utility plans must be placed
stating that the City will never maintain or accept the maintenance of the private
drive. In addition, the force main is considered a private utility and private utilities
require a permit and yearly fee. This permit and fee does not apply if the area
becomes private.
Number: 24 Created: 5/29/2007
[5/29/07] This development must provide Engineering with a copy of the HOA
covenants showing that the HOA is responsible for the maintenance of the private
road within the development and that they have set up a budget in order to do that.
Number: 25 Created: 5/29/2007
[5/29/07] Both variances were received and approved. Please place a note under
line 48 of the General Notes of the utility plan stating the approval of each section
and variance.
Number: 26 Created: 5/29/2007
[5/29/07] From Technical Services:
1. Boundary and legal close.
2. Make "Plat of smaller letters and on top of the title.
3. Building envelopes and set backs are not necessary.
4. Ownership of the tracts, who maintains?
5. Natural Resource Buffer needs to be geometrically defined. Can be somewhat
squared off - stop at Lot 5, 8, 9, and 10 lot lines.
Number: 27 Created: 5/29/2007
[5/29/07] More detailed comments will be provided with the first round of final
review.

[5/18/07] Power to this project will come from Ziegler. It would be good to
coordinate with other utilities since all utilities will likely come from Ziegler.

(5/23/07] Please remove the building envelopes from the subdivision plat. You are
required to show the building envelope on the site plan.
Number: 8 Created: 5/23/2007
[5/23/07] Please add a tract table to the subdivision plat. This table should include
ownership and maintenance information for each tract in the subdivision. Also,
remember that as required in cluster developments, at least 50 percent of the site
area must be preserved as permanent, private open space. It looks like Tract C will
satisfy this requirement, but please indicate so in the tract table.

Topic: Site Plan
Number: 10 Created: 5/23/2007
(5/23/07] Please dimension sidewalk and private drive widths on site plan and
indicate what surface(s) are proposed for pathways/sidewalks. Per the Land Use
Code (Section 3.5.2(C)) each dwelling unit must orient to a connecting walkway
(sidewalk). Please work with David Averill to determine how wide and what surface
this walkway/sidewalk should be.
Number: 11 Created: 5/23/2007
[5/23/07] Is any new fencing proposed? The symbol for the existing fence along the
western edge of the property did not print clearly. Will this remain or will you be
removing it?
Number: 12 Created: 5/23/2007
[5/23/07] Please remove the topo/contour lines from the site plan as they will not
scan well. The existing contours on the landscape plan area also very light and will
not scan.

[5/29/07] OK to go to hearing with the condition that a satisfactory pedestrian
system throughout the development is provided. The applicant will need to work with
Shelby, David Averill in Transportation Planning and myself to determine the
appropriate typical drive/street section. The current configuration showing 3 separate
crossings is a safety hazard and will not be acceptable to the City. Some sort of
pathway system throughout the neighborhood is required as well.

[6/4/07] The natural area buffer in Lot 1 needs to have a legal description with
meets and bounds. Tangents will be sufficient. Revise all other plans to reflect final
location of line.
Number: 36 Created: 6/4/2007
[6/4/07] A Limit of Development (LOD) line needs to be established and approved
by Dana Leavitt and shown on all plans.

[5/23/07] If possible please show the proposed utility lines on the landscape plan so
we can determine if there are any conflict areas with proposed landscaping.
Number: 14 Created: 5/23/2007
[5/23/07] Please be more specific with regards to the plant schedule by either
adding more information to the plant schedule and/or identify specify quantities and
locations on the plant list.
Department: Current Planning Issue Contact: Dana Leavitt
Topic: Landscape Plan
Number: 37 Created: 6/4/2007
[6/4/07] The open space shall be revegetated with native grass and shrub species.
A mix of native plant and pasture gasses is not compatible.
Number: 38 Created: 6/4/2007
[6/4/07] It is highly recommended that the covenants for the project include a
standard for transitioning from a manicured formal landscape into a natural
landscape between the rear of the building envelopes and the property lines
adjacent to the open space and buffer areas.
Number: 39 Created: 6/4/2007
[6/4/07] Provide a program to remove the isolated clumps of Siberian Elms in the
buffer area and add additional native trees and shrubs. This could take place in a
one to two year time frame. Additional plant materials are needed behind the lots in
the buffer areas to enhance the value of the habitat in the buffer area.
Number: 40 Created: 6/4/2007
[6/4/07] Any fencing along the rear of the lots is required to be compatible with the
buffer area. Open fencing with wire mesh is the acceptable alternative. Please
provide information on the proposed method to be used.
