[12/18/07] Stormwater is ready for a hearing.
Please consider a "multi -use" detention pond. It may be advantageous for the church to
provide for outdoor recreation, informal gathering or passive recreation in such a large
detention pond. There are two examples where this was successfully done and both on
South Timberline Road: The first is just north of Lowe Street near GK Gymnastics and
Triple Crown Sports. The second is just north of Battlecreek Drive. The Stormwater Utility
is willing to work with the applicant on creative approaches that can provide dual use.
Comment from Current Planning:
Please shift or add shrubs to screen the electrical transformer from Buckingham Street.
There is a landscape island that includes two shade trees and a light fixture with double
lamps. Over the long term, this will result is less illumination reaching the surface of the
parking lot. Please consider moving the light fixture away from the trees to avoid light loss.
The fixtures in the luminaire schedule need to be specified as "full cut-off."
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

[11/6/07] The Lemay design for the turn lanes creates angle points where the transitions
occur for the left turn lanes, I'd like to see these shown smoothed out with curves rather than
the angle points for driveability concerns.
Number: 27 Created: 11 /6/2007
[12/18/07] The cross slopes appear fine in the revised drawing. Please note that I did not
come across a variance request letter for the .4% grade specified in the response letter,
though I don't see this being required prior to hearing.
[11/6/07] The cross sections for Lemay show instances where the additional pavement
widening is at less of a cross slope than the existing portion which is of concern and does
not meet standards.
Number: 35 Created: 11 /7/2007
[12/18/07] The response letter indicated that drainage is being directed under the sidewalk
with a culvert though I don't see this indicated on either side of the driveway.
[11/7/07] 1 wasn't able to ascertain if drainage is being directed off the driveway onto
Buckingham over the sidewalk. How much spillage (if any) occurs over the sidewalk?

[12/18/07] At the time of final plan submittal please look to provide spot elevations on the
grading plan to better understand parking lot flow design.
Number: 45 Created: 12/18/2007
[12/18/07] At the time of final plan submittal please specify curb and gutter extent along
Ninth Street with stationing.
Topic: General
Number: 20 Created: 11 /6/2007
[12/18/07] I'm fine with the applicant's response, though I believe some sort of
acknowledgement from PRPA should be received prior to hearing that they don't object to
the project going to hearing (or have no comment/concerns with the propsal.)
[11/6/07] It appears that the Platte River Power Authority would need to be a signatory to
the plat as well as construction drawings, having an exclusive easement and facilities within
the property boundary.

Topic: Floodplain
Number: 39 Created: 11 /9/2007
[12/18/07] The building is not in any 100-year floodplain, but the building is in the Poudre
River 500-year floodplain. No critical facilities would apply. This includes daycare as stated
in the conceptual comments. Please contact Marsha Hilmes-Robinson for more information
at 224- 6036
[11/9/07] Please discuss in the text of the report that the building will not be located in any
floodplain.

ISSUES:
Department: Engineering Issue Contact: Marc Virata
Topic: Construction Plans
Number: 22 Created: 11/6/2007
[12/18/07] Carried over for reference.
[11/6/07] Please add the preliminary design information for Lemay and Buckingham done
with the Lincoln Park project onto the construction plan set (as was done on the site plan).
This information isn't as necessary on the site plan, but should be shown on the construction
plan set as a reference. This information should be complete with stationing, tangent and
curve data.
Number: 23 Created: 11 /6/2007
[12/18/07] Carried over for reference.
[11/6/07] The construction plan set needs to show vertical design information specific to
Buckingham/Duff carried from the Lincoln Park project and then have it preliminarily
designed along this project tying back to the west. If the project were to then also do a full
design of Buckingham (flowline and centerline design, cross sections, etc.) then the local
street portion escrow for Buckingham would only need to include construction costs (curb
and gutter, pavements, etc.) (The design should demonstrate that the curb and gutter
installed along the western property boundary can remain otherwise curb and gutter in this
location would also need to be included in the escrow). If the project's design along
Buckingham is limited to the preliminary portion only then the local street portion escrow will
need to include design costs to ensure curb and gutter and pavement can be built to an
ultimate condition.

[12/18/07] Shouldn't the truncated dome alignment on the north side of Buckingham be
angled to direct a pedestrian towards the southwest rather than southeast?
[11/6/07] I'd like to do some further follow-up on the existing asphalt sidewalk and how it is
affected by the widening shown for the left turn lane. It appears that the asphalt sections of
walk may need to be reconfigured with the road widening. Also, it may be necessary to
provide detectable warnings (truncated domes) for the walks as they approach the
intersection.
Number: 26 Created: 11 /6/2007
[12/18/07] The angle point elimination is evident on the striping portion of Buckingham
Street though an agnel point is specified at the edge of pavement (19+75.7). Can this also
be revised to be a curved section?
