[1/13/05] The City is concerned the groundwater will infiltrate into the pond and the percolation design will not function properly due to the groundwater rising when the New Mercer Ditch is flowing. More investigation needs to take place to how to resolve this probable problem. There are certain designs that can be implemented to help mitigate this issue, like a clay cut-off wall along within the berm between the pond and the ditch. Also, a suggestion would be to have the primary design be the slow release of the pond into the New Mercer ditch, with City approval based on this concept. The secondary, or backup, design would be the percolation of the pond water into the ground. This would essentially be the same overall design, just basing the approval by the City on a different option. Number: 58 Created: 3/1 /2005 [3/1/05] At final review, the design of the ADS pipe will have to be revised with a swale and proper placement. Topic: Floodplain Number: 55 Created: 3/1 /2005 [3/1/05] The Bike trail and bridge over the irrigation ditch can not be located in the floodway.

Page 3 [1/10/05] Tract A will need a public access easement in addition to the utility and drainage easement currently shown. Topic: Utility Number: 30 Created: 1/10/2005 [3/1/05] Final Compliance [1/10/05] Will need to show the pedestrian connection and bridge out to Taft Hill as well as enough information to lay it out in the field (ie: a curve table). This development is elligible to file for a repay for 1/2 the cost of the bridge connection against the property owner to the south. Matt Baker with Street Oversizing will assist you with the actual process of doing so. Number: 31 Created: 1/10/2005 [3/2/05] Final Compliance. Road needs to meet PFA's minimum requirements including the 25' inside and 50' outside turning radii. Concerned with the tight jog in the road closer to Cherry - can PFA's trucks fit through here? [1/10/05] Please provide a plan and profile for the emergency access road and show how it ties into the existing Cherry Street. Number: 33 Created: 1/10/2005 [3/1/05] Final Compliance [1/10/05] Please add the driveway symbol to the legend. Will need stationing for every driveway on the plan and profile sheets in Final Compliance. Number: 34 Created: 1/10/2005 [3/1/05] A variance request has been routed to all of the utilities. Comments are due March 8, 2005. As of March 1, Light and Power has responded and they have no problem with the request. [1/10/051 No structures of any kind (retaining walls) are allowed in the utility easement. Number: 38 Created: 1/10/2005 [3/1/05] [1/10/05] More detailed comments to follow in final compliance. Number: 39 Created: 1/10/2005 [3/1/05] Final Compliance [1/10/05] This development is responsible for the maintainence of the median in Briarwood and for providing irrigation to the median. A bond or Letter of Credit will be required to cover the cost of the City removing it in the future should this development not maintain it properly. Please provide an estimate (Final Compliance) for the City's review and approval. This requirement will also be put into the Development Agreement. Please see Appendix C for landscaping requirements. Number: 40 Created: 1/10/2005 [3/1/05] Final Compliance [1/10/05] This development is responsible for improving Vine Drive to Taft Hill with a minimum of 36' of asphalt and striping in bike lanes. This design is currently being done by the Adrian PDP. Those mylars need to be approved and signed before this development's mylars can be approved and signed off on. If, for whatever reason, the Adrian design is not completed, than this development will need to submit utility plans with said improvements. In addition, these improvements must be constructed with whichever development goes first. No building permits can be issued until the Vine improvements are complete.

MOUNTAIN SUITE 201 FORT COLLINS, CO 80521 Date: 03/02/2005 Staff has reviewed your submittal for BELLWETHER FARM - PROJECT DEVELOPMENT PLAN, #46-04, and we offer the following comments: ISSUES: Department: Engineering Issue Contact: Susan Joy Topic: General Number: 13 Created: 1 /10/2005 [3/1/05] Final Compliance [1/10/05] Please see Appendix E6 for scanning requirements. You may want to visit with JR Wilson in Tech Services before your next submittal to discuss whether or not your plans will scan or not. The grey scale on some sheets probably will not scan and will need to be corrected. Just to warn you that even if the mylars are signed off and they don't scan in properly, Tech Services will not accept them. New mylars will need to be provided that meet their needs and they will need to be rerouted for signatures. Please meet with them early to avoid this delay. Thanks!! Number: 59 Created: 3/2/2005 [3/2/05] The ditch company will need a maintenance road along the top of the ditch. There seems to be a "pinch point" at the retaining wall where there is only 10' of space between the wall and the slope of the ditch. Is this wide enough to allow for their equipment? Topic: Hearing Number: 57 Created: 3/1/2005 [3/1/05] Ready to go to Hearing. All remaining design to be completed in Final Compliance. Topic: Landscape Number: 17 Created: 1/10/2005 [3/1/05] Final Compliance. Perhaps turning off the contours will improve scannability. (1/10/051 Please see Appendix E6 for scanning requirements. Topic: Plat Number: 27 Created: 1 /10/2005 [3/1/05] .Final Compliance. [1/10/05] There is a portion of an existing 10' utility easement that is being vacated. If the easement is dedicated to the gas company, than they can either sign off on the plat to vacate the easement or you can vacate it by sep doc as indicated. Please provide a copy of the recorded vacation. If the easement is dedicated to the City of Fort Collins as a utility easement, than we'll need to vacate the easement in house. Number: 28 Created: 1 /10/2005 [3/1/05] Final Compliance - Tract A is now Tract G. Please substitute the label "private access easement" for "public" or put the sidewalk connection to Taft Hill in a separate Public Access Easement. Page 1
