other side of the public street.
At the time of submittal for Project Development Plan, a Utility Plan will be required.
Toward the end of the review process, a Development Agreement between the City
and the developer must be signed. A Development Construction Permit is required
to provide for a smooth transition from design review to construction.
At the time of building permit issuance, the City collects the Street Oversizing Fee
and the County collects the Road Impact Fee.
For further information, please contact Sheri Langenberger, 221-6605.

As mentioned, the O.D.P. is subject to the standards found in Section
2.3.2(H)(1,3,4,5 and 6).
Please note that in addition to all other applicable standards, the Project
Development Plan (P.D.P.) will be subject to Section 3.9 due to the project location
within the 1-25 Corridor.
A neighborhood information meeting is required. Please contact the project planner
for a notification map. The Planning Department will set up and help facilitate the
meeting.
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.

Please note that the CDOT's Northern 1-25 E.I.S. is active. Please contact Dave
Martinez, 622-1268, for further information.
Traffic Operations: E
A Transportation Impact Study will be required. In previous discussion with the
Traffic Operations Department, the scope of the study can be at the intermediate
level.
Be sure to include the traffic counts at the 1-25 ramps. The start and end times of
the shifts should be addressed, particularly the time of shift overlap. As mentioned,
trucks originating from 1-25 will need the proper length of turn lanes for stacking.
Employee trips originating from the west will require the T.I.S. to look at existing
deficiencies between the north -south access road and Summitview Drive. Staff has
observed that westbound traffic, at times, backs up past the north -south access
drive. This may have to be addressed.
Please note that off -site public improvements are intended to be commensurate with
the projected impact of the plant. For further information, please contact Ward
Stanford, 221-6820.
Engineering: r=¢ z
The O.D.P. should indicate the re -alignment of the Frontage Road. The T.I.S. will
help determine the roadway classifications of all proposed public streets. Keep in
mind that the City does not want public and private streets in parallel or in close
proximity that duplicates purpose and function.
As you are aware, Prospect Road between the north -south access drive and
Summitview Drive is not improved. Based on the results of the T.I.S., Staff will work
with the applicant, to design the necessary improvements to meet the needs of the
project and satisfy the requirements of the applicable codes. The extent and timing
of the construction will be the subject of future discussions with all the affected
parties.
As your consulting team is aware, the O.D.P. is subject to the standards found in
Section 2.3.2(H)(3 and 4).
Please note that the developer is responsible for construction of 4.5 feet of sidewalk,
curb, gutter and one-half of a public street along the property's public street frontage.
While developers must also construct full streets during the initial stage, the City will

There is an eight -inch diameter water main in Prospect Road. The size of the water
service to the building will have to be determined based on water needs and
projected usage. Water mains in the area will need to be looped. For further

There are three interceptors in the immediate area although the nearest line is at
capacity. The next nearest line that is able to be gravity -fed is near capacity. The
third line is 30-inches in diameter and designed to serve the towns of Timnath and
Severence. Existing mains may need to be upgraded to serve the site. For further
information, please contact Randy Siddens, 498-0604.
Environmental Planner: M
The Overall Development Plan must comply with Section 2.3.2(H)(5) which requires
that the plan show the general location and approximate size of all natural areas,
habitats and features within its boundaries and shall indicate the aplicant's proposed
rough estimate of the natural area buffer zones as required by Section 3.4.1(E).
Please call Dana Leavitt to set up a scoping meeting for an Ecological
Characterization Study (E.C.S.) that is appropriate for this O.D.P. and subsequent
Project Development Plan.
In order to begin the discussion with regard to buffers, the buffer for Boxelder Creek
is 100 feet as measured from the top of the bank. The pond is also considered a
natural feature with associated wetlands and will need a buffer that ranges from *50
to 100 feet, depending on its ecological value.
Transportation Planning: t a
CDOT has long range plans to widen the 1-25/Prospect Road interchange. This will
cause the frontage road to be re -aligned. The new frontage road alignment has not
been definitively determined and its ultimate location is flexible at this time, but it will
need to act in concert with other public streets to create a logical network for
connectivity through the region. Creating a network in this region is important since
there is no established grid to tie into.
Other public streets may be classified as "commercial local" or "industrial local"
streets depending in the results of the Transportation Impact Study. Roadway

[9/18/071 Onsite detention is required for this site and the release rate is a staged
release of 2, 10, 50, & 100 year existing flow rates. The reason is that the banks are
not stable so an erosion buffer limit is shown in the master plan where no
construction can occur. It should be easy to show that the normal 2 year release
rate is not needed since the site can drain ahead of the peak flows of the basin.

[9/21/07] The electric master plan projects the area surrounding the proposed AVA
site to be served by two substations on different transmission lines. These are
designated as the Timberline and Northeast Substations.
The City is working with our transmission provider to accelerate development of the
Timberline Substation located at the intersection of Timberline Road and Prospect
Road. Improvements to this site will have to be made to add distribution capabilities
since it is currently a transmission only site.
Three circuits from existing substations can be installed in the interim to meet AVA's
Phase 1 & 2 projected well within the proposed schedule. A meeting between the
applicant and the electric utility personnel should take place as soon as possible to
discuss AVA's redundancy requirements to determine the utility's design
requirements for these circuits and appropriate rates and fees.
The Northeast Substation site is currently scheduled for operation in 2013. This
project and associated circuits could provide a highly reliable infrastructure to meet
all of the applicant's electrical needs through Phase 4 and beyond. Contact Bob
Micek (Electric System Engineering Manager) 970-416-2724.
Please note that the Light and Power Utility offers design assistance to promote
energy conservation and L.E.E.D certification. Please contact Gary Schroeder at
221-6700 or Dana Leavitt at 221-6750 for further information.
