[10/11/07] After looking into the conceptual comments that were prepared by Glen
Schlueter, the engineer may have referenced the wrong set of comments. The comments
for 5335 Strauss Cabin Road mention the 20% impervious criteria because they are not
redeveloping the whole site and were proposing to just subdivide into 2 lots. The comments
for 5227 Strauss Cabin Road state there is a detention requirement in accordance to the
McClellands Creek Master Plan. It also appears there may be some errors in the
impervious calculations used to justify no detention, however this justification does not
matter since quantity and quality detention are required. If you would like a meeting to
discuss this, please call Wes at 416-2418 to schedule.

[10/12/07] The outfall for this site needs to be investigated down to the FCRID. There
needs to be adequate conveyance from the site to FCRID (Fossil Creek Reservoir Inlet
Ditch). This includes capacity calculations with cross -sections, as well as channel
stability/erosion concerns. It appears the outfall travels through private property before the
FCRID. If so, an off -site drainage easement is required for that portion because there is an
increase in quantity of flow even with detention.
Number: 37 Created: 10/12/2007
[10/12/07] With an increase in volume of flow, The FCRID will need to approve the Utility
plans. The City has an agreement w/ FCRID to discharge into their ditch at specific
locations. The proposed outfall is not one of the previously approved outfall locations.
Comments from Current Planning:
1. If a lot size falls below the one-half acre minimum by an amount that is nominal and
inconsequential due to additional dedication for access easements or stormwater detention,
then a Modification of Standard may be submitted.
2. Please see redline comments on the plans.
Be sure and return all of your redlined plans when you re -submit.
If you have any questions regarding these issues or any other issues related to this project,
please feel free to call me at (970) 221-6750.
Sincerely:
Ted Shepard
Chief Planner

(10/11/07] At the staff review meeting, it was conveyed that if old Oak Lane is to be
dedicated as a named private drive, it must be dedicated as a separate tract of land. Ted
indicated that this would reduce the lot area below the minimum but a modification to the
code would be supported by City Staff if you choose to do this.

[10/10/07] WATER SUPPLY: Fire hydrants, where required, must be the type approved by
the water district having jurisdiction and the Fire Department. Hydrant spacing and water
flow must meet minimum requirements based on type of occupancy. Minimum flow and
spacing requirements include: residential within Urban Growth Area, 1,000 gpm at 20 psi
residual pressure, spaced not further than 400 feet to the building, on 800-foot centers
thereafter. These requirements may be modified if buildings are equipped with automatic fire
sprinkler systems.

[10/10/07] ACCESS: As was discussed today at Staff Review, my preference would be for
access to all six lots be off Big Dipper Drive: one driveway to serve lots 1-2, and one
driveway to serve lots 3-6. 1 would prefer that lot 2 NOT be accessed by a driveway that also
provides access to lots 3-6, because it seems counterintuitive to access lot 2 from relatively
far away to the east, when the lot fronts Big Dipper. Accessing the lots by utilizing two
driveways would eliminate the need for the (named) private drive that runs north -south off
Big Dipper.
Number: 24 Created: 10/10/2007
[10/10/07] ADDRESSING: ADDRESS NUMERALS
Address numerals shall be visible from the street fronting the property, and posted with a
minimum of six-inch (6) numerals on a contrasting background. (Bronze numerals on brown
brick are not acceptable). In addition to posting the numerals on the structures, if all lots are
addressed off Big Dipper Drive, the addresses shall be posted in an acceptable manner on
Big Dipper Drive, at each of the two driveways, showing which addresses are accessed off
each driveway. Numerals must be at least six inches in height and visible at night (reflective
and/or lit). 97UFC 901.4.4
Number: 25 Created: 10/10/2007
[10/10/07] TURNAROUND: At the end of each driveway, we need a turnaround for
emergency vehicles. This could be a hammerhead or "TT -shaped" portion of the driveway, a
minimum of 50 feet long each direction.

[10/9/07] Strauss Cabin - LCUASS requires that you provide 1000 feet of preliminary off -site
street design and cross sections in both directions for arterial streets to show proposed
design works with existing grades. Per our discussion at the staff review meeting, the City
will only require that you tie into the design that was provided with Sunrise Ridge on Strauss
Cabin. Centerline, flowline and cross sections due at final.
Number: 17 Created: 10/9/2007
[10/9/07] Will need to provide an intersection detail for Strauss Cabin & Big Dipper per
LCUASS 7-27 at final plan submittal.

[10/9/07] Strauss Cabin - see redlines for additional comments and clarification.
Number: 19 Created: 10/9/2007
[10/9/07] Big Dipper - Similar comments to Strauss Cabin design sheet. It appears that
some new sidewalk is being proposed off -site to the west ? What will this connect to ?
Please clearly define what is proposed for this project. See redlines for clarification. As
discussed at the staff review meeting, we will need to see the existing trail system that
crosses Big Dipper and existing sidewalk at the intersection. One other thing to note, the
sidewalk on the south side of Big Dipper west of the development should be constructed
with this development to avoid Street Oversizing reimbursement confusion later. Please call
me for details 970-416-2292.

[10/9/07] It appears that a couple of off -site easements are needed to make sewer
connections to the north and west. Please show and label these off -site easements on the
plat and reference them as utility easements by separate document. All off -site easements
needed must be submitted to the City for review prior to recording. The review fees are
$250 per document + recording fees and the City must receive signed deeds of dedication
or letters of intent form the property owners prior to scheduling a hearing for the project.
See redlines for clarification. At the staff review meeting, it was suggested that the off -site
utility easements may not be needed. Please show the existing easements off -site to verify
there are no gaps between the easements for the sewer connections. The water district on -
site easement by separate document still applies. Please submit a deed of dedication (with
legal & map exhibits) for this easement with a $250 review fee.
Number: 8 Created: 10/9/2007
[10/9/07] Sheet EX1 - Existing Conditions. Please label the existing driveway on Strauss
Cabin "Existing driveway to be closed with new curb & gutter. Emergency access easement
dedicated for emergency second point of access only". As a result of the discussion at the
staff review meeting, this access point may no longer be needed. If you are not clear about
all of the options discussed at the meeting for accesses to the Lots, please call me at 970-
416-2292.

Staff has reviewed your submittal for OLD OAK ESTATES PDP - TYPE I, and we offer the
following comments:
Department: Engineering Issue Contact: Randy Maizland
Topic: Engineering
Number: 2 Created: 10/9/2007
(10/9/07] Utility Plan Cover Sheet - Please add the geotechnical engineers info to the cover
sheet and revise the FC-Loveland Water District signature block per the redlines. Submit all
District comments with your next round of review. Detail sheets will be required at final and
should be added to the cover sheet index.
Number: 3 Created: 10/9/2007
[10/9/07] General Notes - Please use a heavier line type for the text in the general Notes
section so they will scan and copy well. Add/list the variance request for driveway spacing
on Big Dipper to note no. 48. This variance request has been reviewed and accepted by the
City however, you will need to submit a new letter of request with original wet stamp by the
engineer. This must be received prior to scheduling a hearing.
Number: 4 Created: 10/9/2007
[10/9/07] Plat - Please label Old Oak Lane as a Private drive on the Plat. The easement on
the northerly portion of the property shall be dedicated as the following: Access, Emergency
Access and Utility Easement. This easement will serve as a 2nd emergency point of access
on the property only and the existing driveway on Strauss Cabin Rd. will be closed with new
curb and gutter. All of the lots will take access from the Private Drive (Old Oak Lane). As
discussed at the staff review meeting, PFA may not need the second point of access and
the emergency access easement out to Strauss Cabin may not be needed after all. Lots 1 &
2 may take access on Big Dipper from a shared driveway or Lot 2 may take access from the
common driveway used by Lots 3-6 and Lot 1 may have it's own driveway access to Big
Dipper. You have a few different options at this point however, an open useable access to
Strauss Cabin will not be permitted.
Number: 5 Created: 10/9/2007
[10/9/07] The common driveway for Lots 3-6 was discussed at the staff review meeting. If
this driveway is intended to be a named private drive (for addressing purposes) it will need
to be paved with asphalt, concrete or other approved hard surface (not gravel). At the
meeting it was my understanding that the Lots could be addressed off of Big Dipper with an
address kiosk at the driveway access point and then you could have a very long driveway
accessing the lots. In this case the driveway would not have to be paved with a hard
surface (except the first 20 feet from the driveway to reduce track out) and the remainder
could be gravel. Again you have a couple different options here. Either way, you will need to
dedicate the driveway area as an access easement on the Plat.
