Best regards, Brian Williamson Jim Sell Design 153 W Mountain Ave. Fort Collins CO 808524 970-484-1921 brianw@jimselldesign.com 153 WEST MOUNTAIN AVENUE FORT COLLINS. COLORADO 80524 P970.484.1921 F970.4842443 INFO(mJIMSELLOESIGN.COM JIMSELLDESIGN.COM Number:57 Created:9/19/2007 [9/19/07] Revise the plans to show the fire hydrant assemblies in the cul-de-sacs using swivel tees with a plug and thrust block at the end of the tee. (See sketch on redlined plans.) The connection for the hydrants has been revised. Number:58 Created:9/19/2007 [9/19/07] It is noted that the FCLWD water service which previously served the existing house is being converted to an irrigation tap for the development. As a result, water development fees will be due for the new water service supplying water to Lot 1. These fees include the Water Plant Investment Fee (WPIF) and Raw Water Requirement (RWR) which are based upon the number of living units (in this case - one) and the lot area. For large lots, these fees are calculated on a maximum of a half acre. If the RWR is satisfied with cash, the total water development fees for Lot 1 will be nearly $18,700 based upon 2007 fees. The 2008 fees will likely be higher for the WPIF's. Noted. 153 WEST MOUNTAIN AVENUE FORT COLLINS, COLORADO 80524 P 970.484.1921 F 970.4841443 INFQa11MSELLDESIGN.COM 11MSELLDESIGN.COM Please add a note stating that the area downstream of the pipe between lots 7 and 8 might need permanent erosion protection. In the event of erosion problems or head cutting, within the first five years of construction, the developer shall install structural stabilizing measures to be reviewed and approved by the City of Fort Collins. A note has been added to the grading plan stating the above condition. Pond C seems to have no freeboard. Please show spillway design in cross-section, and request a variance in the drainage report if the one foot freeboard cannot be achieved as currently stated in report. The pond has 0.8' of freeboard, not 0.081. This is noted in the drainage report and a variance from the standard 1.0' is requested in the same paragraph. Specify which water quality outlet detail will be used. The modified water quality outlet detail that is shown on the plans is to be used, please add a YxY maintenance pad in front of box, and make sure it is keyed into the soil. The details on the top of the water quality sheet are the standard details from Urban Drainage. The drawings on the bottom are schematics to show specific dimensions for the 2 outlet structures that will be built with the project. Please specify the type of well screen that will be used in conjunction with the water quality plate. The well screen is shown on the standard Urban Drainage Details. Please indicate on plans where the headwall detail will be used. It is now noted that the headwall will be placed at the end of the pond outlet pipes. The silt fence is shown to be wrapped around the swale between lots 7 and 8. A temporary straw bale check dam might work better in that situation. Wattles have been added in this area. Please see redlined plans for additional comments. Topic: Water/wastewater Number:56 Created:9/19/2007 [9/19/071 Please add a legend to all utility plans. There is a legend on the cover of the plans. Will need one more round of paper review before proceeding to mylars stage. Department: Stormwater-Water-Wastewater Issue Contact: Roger Buffington Topic: Water/wastewater 153 WEST MOUNTAIN AVENUE FORT COLLINS. COLORADO 80524 P970.484.1921 F970.484.2443 INFOCOJIMSELLDESIGN.COM 11MSELLDESIGN.COM l [9/18/07] An additional fire hydrant needs to be installed to better provide a water supply for the structures to be built on Hidden Pond Drive. The best location would be the east end of Lot 1 or west end of Lot 2, adjacent to Hidden Pond Drive. A fire hydrant has been added next to the existing garage. Department: Stormwater-Water-Wastewater Issue Contact: Basil Harridan Topic: Stormwater Number:55 Created:9/19/2007 [9/19/07] Please specify how the roadside swales will be vegetated. Add a note indicating who will be responsible for maintaining these. It has been specified that the swales will be turf, that no landscaping that would hamper drainage is allowed, and that the maintenance (mowing) of the swale is the responsibility of the lot owner. Trees within roadside swales should be planted on top of bank, add a note to landscape plan to that specifying that trees shall not be placed in a manner that would impede drainage flows. This note has been added to the landscape plan. Grading plan does not specify lot grading. How will these be certified? A plot plan showing individual lot grading will be required prior to building permit. Top of foundation elevations, highpoints on the lots, and flow arrows have been added to the grading plan. This was deemed acceptable in a meeting with Basil and Glen. Approval by the FCRID irrigation company (North Poudre Irrigation) will be required prior to final plan approval by the City of Fort Collins. The cover of the plans have an approval block for the ditch company. Please specify a minimum cover for all storm lines on storm line profile sheet. The cover over the line crossing the private drive has been added. Plat should include roadside swale in a drainage easement along with tract for paved area. Plat notes should indicate who maintains roadside swale and what type of landscaping can be done. No landscape rocks or other materials that can be washed out will be allowed. The tract and easement have been added. Please add a legend to the grading plan. Show limits of disturbance. The cover sheet has the legend and the limits of disturbance line has been added. 153 WEST MOUNTAIN AVENUE FORT COLLINS, COLORADO 80524 P 970.484.1921 F 970.4842443 INFOOIIMSELLDESIGN.COM 11MSELLDESIGN.COM [9/20/07] There is a conflict in the Tract numbering/lettering. The plan view shows lettering, but the table numbers them. This conflict has been resolved. Department: Engineering Issue Contact: Susan Joy Topic: Plat Number:45 Created:9/11/2007 [9/11/07] The row was vacated by council so it needs to be labeled as "row vacated by ordinance #xx" or something to that effect. This needs to be carried throughout all of the various plan sets as well. This note has been added. Topic: Site Plan Number:48 Created:9/11/2007 [9/11/071 Remove the words "Final Plan" out of the project title and title block title. This has been removed. Number:49 Created:9/11/2007 [9/11/07] See Appendix E6 for all scanning requirements and bring the plan set up to standard. Remove the shading, correct all line over text labeling, etc. These issues have been addressed. Topic: Utility Plans Number:44 Created:9/11/2007 [9/11/07] Beautiful job! The only comment I might offer is the shading of the private drive ... I talked to JR and he said you can leave it on the horizontal control sheets but to please take it off the utility, grading and drainage sheets. The hatching has been removed.

Just please be sure to address the few comments I had before printing them however. If you have any questions about the scannability of the plan sets, please see JR in Tech Services as I will be on vacation from 9/14 to 9/23. Noted. Topic: Landscape Plan Number:46 Created:9/11/2007 [9/11/07] Removing the contours should help with the scannability of the plan sets. See Appendix E6 for other scanning requirements. The contours have been removed. Number:47 Created:9/11/2007 [9/11/07] Remove the words "Final Plan" out of the project title and title block title. This has been removed. Department: Engineering Issue Contact: Sheri Langenberger Topic: Plat Number:59 Created:9/20/2007 [9/20/07] The private drives need to be placed in a Tract - not defined as easements across the lots. This is necessary to meet the definition of a private drive and for the private drive to be named. The tract has been added over the asphalt drive. Number:60 Created:9/20/2007 [9/20/071 Comments from Technical Services: 1) Boundary and legal close. 2) Can not name easements (see comment #59) 3) Plat needs "Natural Area Buffer" Note. Need to define on the plat what a natural area buffer is (i.e. what is allowed and not allowed in this area). 1) This has been adjusted. 2) A Tract has been added for the private drive. 3) The Natural Area Buffer note has been added. Number:61 Created:9/20/2007 [9/20/07] Need to add the private drive maintenance note to the plat. A note has been added to the plat stating that the Hidden Pond HOA will be responsible for maintaining the private drive.

The existing pasture areas need to be broken up prior to reseeding to allow the native grasses to succeed. Removing incompatible landscape materials is cited in Section 3.4.1(E)(1)(g) of the Land Use Code. It was verbally agreed that a total eradication program was not needed, but to use a less intrusive method of breaking up the grass to allow for new species of grasses to grow. [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. The notes on the landscape plan have been adjusted to include discing and reseeding. Department: Current Planning Issue Contact: Shelby Sommer Topic: Plat Number:8 Created:5/23/2007 [9/12/07] The Tract Table lists the Tracts as 1, 2, 3 but the plat shows Tracts A, B, C. Please correct. [5/23/071 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. This has been corrected. Topic: Site Plan Number:11 Created:5/23/2007 [9/12/071 The fence symbol is still difficult to see underneath the darker boundary symbol. Please add a label and try to adjust the overlapping. [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? A note has been added to the existing fence line and it has been adjusted. Number:51 Created:9/12/2007 [9/12/07] See highlighted areas on the site plan that may have scanning issues. Please try to make these areas as clear as possible and avoid overlapping symbols and text. The landscaping outlines on the site plan are very light and will not scan or reproduce. Please remove or darken these symbols. The line weight of the existing vegetation has been changed and highlighted areas have been addressed.
