[6/8/04] Sheet 3 of 4 indicates that the scale of the elevations is 1/8" = 1'. However,
they are really drawn at a 1/4" = 1' scale. Need to change note to 1/4" = 1'.
Number: 53 Created: 6/8/2004
[6/8/04] Since they once again show signage and painted mural on the elevations,
they need to indicate that these are "possible" sign locations. As shown, they may
not comply with the code and even though note #7 on the site plan states that signs
will comply with the sign code, it avoids confusion later on if we indicate that we
aren't giving approval to what they are showing on the plan.
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

Please provide an outfall pipe detail at the curb.

All grades need to tie-in to existing contours along the perimeter of the site. At some
retaining wall locations, it appears some off -site grading would occur, which would
require off -site grading and temporary construction easements.
Number: 66 Created: 6/29/2004
Please provide BOW and TOW elevations for the retaining wall on the grading plan.
Number: 67 Created: 6/30/2004
Once drainage leaves the outlet pipe from the detention pond, flow needs to drain
into the gutter of the private drive and turn north across a concrete pan at the
intersection of the two streets rather than fan out onto the private drive. This will
help with freezing issues in the winter as well as a "cleaner" outfall system.
Topic: Erosion/Sediment Control

1. There must be a project schedule on the plan. Don't use specific months, just
week 1, 2, 3, etc. or moth 1, 2, 3, etc.
2. What will protect the College Avenue side of the project stormwater
discharges during construction?
3. How is the silt fencing/retaining wall construction to work. Is there enough
room to place the fence north of the wall construction and leave it? Or, once
the wall construction is underway, there may not be a need for the fence?
There should be a note on the plan defining this BMP/process.
4. It is unclear how the "haybales around three sides of the structure" at the
pond outlet is supposed to work or do anything. It should be protected on the
intake side of the structure, and since you have a pan in the pond and bales
don't work on hard surfaces...?
5. Is the drive in the northeast corner of the site to be reconstructed? If so, what
will be the protection for this construction?
6. What is the protection along the east side of the site, particularly on the north
end just south of the existing drive?

In doing so, it appears that only the southern half of the north half of Dartmouth
would nee to be patched.

[6/17/04] In general, a main concern is the lack of information on how the proposed
and existing grades tie into the retaining walls surrounding the site (see redlines).
The wall on the east edge of the site does not appear to have enough depth so that
the Tooter is deeper than the bottom of the pond and still retain enough to the
existing grade of the parking lot directly east (the structural detail shows a 7' max
wall while the contours seem to show a 9' height difference). Shouldn't it be shown
on the north edge of the site that the existing wall is to be removed? Shouldn't there
be proposed grade lines shown north of the new wall as fill will need to be added?
Why isn't there top of wall and footer elevations shown throughout the grading plan?
The structural design of the walls themselves appear fine, but there seems to be
little to no information as to how this will be built in relation to the existing and
proposed grades. At this point, there doesn't appear to be a way to determine if
offsite easements are required from the property owner to the north.
Number: 59 Created: 6/18/2004
[6/18/04] The construction drawings note an 8.8' PSCO easement but gives no
indication as to its location and it's possible impact on the development. PSCO may -
need to sign off on aspects of the project depending on its location and impact.
Number: 60 Created: 6/18/2004
[6/18/04] With the outstanding issue of how the retaining walls tie ito proposed and
existing grades, it would be beneficial to enlarge these areas as the existing
contours offsite are difficult to read and anaylze near the property boundaries. With
the need for top of wall and footer elevations as well as proposed contours being
added to the plans, it will likely be difficult to read at the curent scale.
Topic: landscape
Number: 61 Created: 6/18/2004
[6/18/04] The street trees along College Avenue should be 5' from the sidewalk, not
10'. This helps ensure that any future widening of College to current standards will
not result in a conflict with the tree placement
Topic: Plat

[6/15/041 This comment was not addressed.
[4/19/04] The plat does not have the latest maintenance/repair language as well as
the entire "Notice of Other Documents" section. This can be electronically mailed if
desired.

[6/15/04] Left as unresolved for reference. The City will meet with CDOT in late
June to discuss the latest plan.
[4/19/04] In reviewing the proposal, CDOT has offered the following comments:
- Two access permits (one for each driveway) will need to be issued on one
application. More information regarding the access permit(s) requirements will be
determined as the design progresses.
- No portion of a retaining wall is allowed in right-of-way (including footings).
Excavation for footings cannot be within right-of-way. There may be concerns with
the retaining walls onsite that run parallel to College depending on the final design.
- Signs will be needed posted at the driveways indicating that the southern driveway
is "Entrance Only" and the northern driveway has a "Do Not Enter" sign. These
signs will need to be west of the sidewalk along College and angled facing
southwest. The signs shall be situated such that sight distance is not being
compromised. A One Way sign is also needed in the median in front of the northern
driveway.
-A warranty deed will be required for the right-of-way dedication on College.

[6/11/04] The construction plans now show construction of a landscape retaining
wall at the connection out to Dartmouth. What is this and does this fall inside public
right-of-way or onto private property (no external property/right-of-way boundaries
are shown on the plans, which should be provided)? Please provide a detail of this
proposal. Note that a 2' clearance is required between the wall and the sidewalk in
accordance with Chapter 19 of LCUASS.
Number: 55 Created: 6/14/2004
[6/14/04] The sidewalk along College north of the northern driveway shows a very
steep longitudinal slope (22%), steeper than the same section along the roadway,
which doesn't meet LCUASS 16.2.1.H. Also, the 2004 contour line here does not
appear correctly as it continues straight across the access ramp, which should
adjust for the change in grade through the ramp.
Number: 56 Created: 6/15/2004
[6/15/04] Provide construction details of the barricades and signage along College.
Coordinate location and number of bollards between the construction and site plans
as they conflict.
Number: 57 Created: 6/15/2004
[6/15/04] The sewer line connecting out to Remington Street is problematic in that
the entire south half of Dartmouth would need to be patched (at a minimum)
because the proposed patching is not per standard. In checking with water/sewer, it
is suggested that instead of tying into the existing manhole, use a saddle fitting and
tie 2' north of the manhole than extend the service parallel to Dartmouth into the site.

[6/14/04] It is still not clear to me how the northernmost sidewalk connection is to be
constructed. By moving the 2002 contour to the northern boundary, it appears
you're adding fill up to the property boundary, thus the sidewalk (and the area in
general) will not tie vertically into the existing development to the north. How will this
area work?
[4/13/04] The response indicates that proposed contours tie into existing grades. I
don't seem to see this, for instance there's a proposed 5004 contour that
appears to tie into a 5003 contour at the northernmost access ramp.
[3/1/04] With more information as to how the proposed frontage along College
Avenue ties into the proposed grades and roadways to the south and to the
north, additional comments may be made.
Number: 39 Created: 3/1 /2004
[6/14/04] Without knowing the grading north of the northern retaining wall, it is
unknown whether the design is affecting the northern property owner to require an
offsite easement.
[4/13/04] In addition, letters of intent appear to be needed with the existing
properties to the north and south as they are affected by the retaining wall
replacement/reconstruction.
[3/1/04] A letter of intent from the Ditch Company agreeing in principle to the
development proposal is required.
Number: 44 Created: 4/12/2004
[6/14/04] This comment is still viewed as not fully addressed.
[4/12/04] As a general comment in reference to previous comments, the plans and
the narrative really need to give more detail with regards to how the development will
tie into the existing uses considering there are roads on both side of the
development off of College as well as retaining walls on both sides of the property.
A thorough explanation of the intent regarding the removal and replacement of the
retaining walls is required. Constructed "by others", who are "by others"? Has
permission from the adjacent property owners been looked at? (Letters of intent
from the surrounding property owners are required.) How can the walls be removed
but not replaced in sections? Designs of the walls and structural calcs are needed
as these may affect public right-of-way.

Topic: General
Number: 7 Created: 2/16/2004
[6/7/04] It appears (by the indication of parallel lines on the drawings) that some sort
of physical separation is now being provided. Please indicate (label) on the plans
what this is and reference an appropriate construction detail in the details sheet of
the construction plans.
[3/24/04] The response letter states "Curb has now been turned on. See plans."
The plans don't indicate any curb and gutter to be installed along the northern and
southern boundary of the site directly east of College Avenue. The utility plans also
do not indicate this. Is there some other means (landscape edging?) in which the
new turf and the existing asphalt are separated? From my perspective, curb and
gutter should be installed to help define the edge of the roadways, but other options
may be available?
[2/16/04] The landscape plans indicate turf up to the property lines directly east of
College Avenue, shouldn't curb and gutter be installed so that turf doesn't tie directly
into asphalt?
Number: 23 Created: 2/24/2004
[6/14/04] Please coordinate between the different plan sets on the right-of-way
dedication along College Avenue. The right-of-way should now only be dedicated to
the back of walk. Some of the drawings show additional right-of-way behind the
sidewalk. Assuming the plat followed the original intent of additional right-of-way
behind the sidewalk, the plat should now have a slightly reduced area for dedication.
[4/12/04] With the response noting that the new wall will be out of the right-of-way, it
would be beneficial to have a preliminary design to help understand how this will
work.
[2/24/04] Sheet U1 notes retaining wall layout and design by others, is it intended to
remove and replace the existing retaining wall? If such is the case, when redoing
the retaining wall, please ensure it is outside of the new right-of-way.
