Number: 129 Created: 3/ 18/2008
[3/18/08] See redlined plans for other comments.
This completes staff (and outside reviewing agencies) review and comments at this time.
Red -lined plan from City departments are included with this comment letter. Additional
comments and red -lined plans may be forthcoming. At the staff review meeting on March
19'' it was determined that another round of staff review really is necessary. This proposal is
subject to the 90-day revision re -submittal requirement (from the date of this comment
letter, being March 21, 2008) as set forth in Section 2.2.11(A) of the Land Use Code. Be
sure and return all red -lined plans when you re -submit. The number of copies of each
document to re -submit is shown on the attached REVISION ROUTING SHEET.
A copy of comments from Tim Buchanan, the City Forester, is attached to this
comment letter.
If you have any questions regarding these issues or any other issues related to this project,
please feel free to call me at 221-6341.

[3/19/08] Please show the future box culvert on the Utility Plan along with preliminary
design information. Also, please provide preliminary sizing information and show the
culvert crossing at the correct width.
Number: 137 Created: 3/19/2008
[3/19/08] There are 5 or 6 sub -basins that free release in the interim condition that are not
being retained and are not being treated for water quality. These sub -basins add up to around
40% of the entire site. These areas need to be retained and treated for water quality. Many
of these flows enter the irrigation ditch as well, which violates the City's agreement with the
ditch companies regarding any new development. A meeting may be required to resolve this
issue.
Number: 175 Created: 3/21/2008
[3/21/08] Briarwood Road is a local street and any perpendicular flows overtopping the
street cannot exceed 18 inches per the Storm Drainage Criteria Manual. A culvert/bridge
will be required to meet this overtopping requirement if flows depths exceed 18 inches above
the flowline of Briarwood Road in any location. If a culvert or bridge is necessary, this
would need to be included in the floodplain modeling and all plans and reports revised. No -
rise off of the applicant's property can be shown by the modeling. A no -rise certification is
also required for the construction of Briarwood Road.
Number: 177 Created: 3/21/2008
[3/21/08] Through experience with other projects, lots like the ones in sub -basins S & BB
are built more like B lots where half the roof drains to the front and half to the back. If this
were to happen, Sub -basin BB would get larger, resulting in a larger area not being retained
and receiving water quality treatment. This would only make the situation worse, where
around 40% of the site already is not being retained in the interim condition.

[3/21/08] A more detailed floodplain map with cross -sections and BFE's for the project area
is required.
Number: 176 Created: 3/21 /2008
[3/21/08] A meeting to discuss the floodplain modeling is suggested.
Topic: Stormwater
Number: 130 Created: 3/19/2008
[3/19/08] Staff is concerned with Outlot D being shown as a park site as this is the location
of a future master planned drainage swale. The plans submitted by Vignette Studios show a
park area hatched separately from the rest of the tract. At a minimum, please update the
Utility Plans to reflect this concept. Alternately, please consider placing the area to be
encompassed by the regional drainage swale in a tract separate from the park area. This will
help alleviate any future confusion regarding what is park area and what is not.
Number: 131 Created: 3/19/2008
[3/19/08] Section One of the URS drainage report refers to a spillway for off -site flows.
This design does not appear to have been provided. Please address the routing of off -site
flows through the site.
Number: 132 Created: 3/19/2008
[3/19/08] Based on hydrologic modeling submitted, Staff is in agreement that detention is
not required in the ultimate condition, provided the hydrology does not change with
subsequent revisions. Water quality detention will still be required in both the interim and
ultimate conditions and storm water retention will still be required in the interim condition.
Number: 133 Created: 3/19/2008
[3/19/08] Thanks for adding the Future Basin Improvements sheet. This will help make it
more clear what is happening in the ultimate condition. One item that is still a concern is
how the ultimate swale will function in the configuration shown. Please provide hydraulic
modeling for the ultimate condition showing that the swale can adequately convey the master
planned flows.
Number: 134 Created: 3/19/2008
[3/19/08] Please provide a detail in the Utility Plans for the outlet at the existing hexagonal
culvert. Please also include design and details for the water quality portion of the outlet
structure in both the interim and ultimate configuration.

[3/17/08] On Block 3 Lots 2-4 the electric line needs to be in an easement. There should be
a 10' separation from the sewer line and 5' from the building envelope to the electric line.
The building envelopes for lots 2-4 may need to be shifted west approx 5'.

slopes to at least one decimal point in those areas. That is the only way we can see that the
min/max cross slope requirements are being met.
Number: 162 Created: 3/20/2008
[3/20/08] Typical street sections need to be identified by street name as the sections are not
typical and change from street to street with the different curb types. Curb types can change
at the end of blocks but may not occur in the middle of a block. Missing a typical section for
Webb Avenue.
Number: 163 Created: 3/20/2008
[3/20/08] Please dimension all crosspans.
Topic: Utility Plans - Storm Profiles
Number: 72 Created: 10/30/2007
[3/19/08] Most of the cover issues have been taken care of with the exception of two places.
You may construct a 30' concrete section over Storm 5 per Rick Richter in Pavement
Management. A joint detail will be required in FC for that section. Storm 5A is acceptable
provided that a note is placed on the plan and profile sheet stating that Storm 5A is to be
placed behind the curb.
[10/30/07] Minimum cover requirements are not being met. See LCUASS 12.2.2 for
minimum depth requirements (2' below subgrade or 3' to finish). This applies to all utilities
and any structure (box culvert or otherwise).
Topic: Utility Plans - Typical Street Sections
Number: 60 Created: 10/30/2007
[3/19/08] Repeat comment and we now have the same issue with Barton Drive and
Briarwood Road. Suggest a utility coordination to determine how best to serve the site and
where variances can be allowed.
[10/30/07] Please label and dimension the 9' UE on both sides of the local street sections.
There doesn't appear to be enough room to grant that along the back of the street widening at
the corner of Eyestone Street and Barton Drive. How will the utilities serve this side of the
street? Will need to submit a variance request in accordance with 1.9.4 so that we can route
to all utilities, both city and private, for their review and approval. You can do this prior to
the next submittal if you wish.

On private drives when duplex are next to each other locate ganged electric meters on each
building so one service trench can serve two buildings.

[3/20/08] Sheet 7 is showing a darker line weight around the storm channel that runs east to
west. Is that another retaining wall? If so, please clearly label and show on all plan sets.
Site and landscape plans need to indicate total height while the utility plans must call out the
tow and bow as well. Design information may be required in FC depending on the wall
height.
Number: 159 Created: 3/20/2008
[3/20/08] Off -site grading may be required to construct the Webb Avenue street stub. The
plan and profiles indicate that you'll need an interim grading design to tie into existing from
the end of the proposed construction. As previously stated, an estimate for the completion of
your street stub to the property line including fill, sidewalks, c&g, landscaping, irrigation and
road will be required for our review and approval.

[3/10/08] Please label existing ditches as "to be removed" where ever applicable.
[10/30/07] There area couple of small existing irrigation ditches shown but what are you
doing withthem? Are you removing? Relocating? Something needs to be done as they
cross individual lots. Each and every affected ditch owner will require a signature block on
each sheet where their ditch is shown to be impacted.

Topic: Utility Plans - Grading
Number: 57 Created: 10/30/2007
[3/19/08] Repeat comment. The line weights are too similar and it's almost impossible to
distinguish what line stands for what. This is a problem throughout the entire set.
[10/30/07] The existing and proposed contours are indistinguishable. Sidewalks aren't
shown or they are there but in the same line weight as the contours. Need to dimension and

f. Street names do not match between the plat and Site Plan.
Number: 161 Created: 3/20/2008
[3/20/08] The plat is calling out the 9'UE behind the ROW and a 9' utility and drainage
easement but the rest of the plans only show it as a UE. Is this just a mistake?
Number: 165 Created: 3/20/2008
[3/20/08] The plat was red -lined within the utility plan set.
Topic: Soils Report
Number: 25 Created: 10/30/2007
[3/19/08] [10/30/07] The soils report indicates that groundwater was encountered within 5'
of the existing surface (see LCUASS 5.6.1) so an additional Subsurface Water Investigation
report is required.
Topic: Traffic Study
Number: 22 Created: 10/30/2007
(3/19/08] Please see Denise Weston in Transportation Planning regarding this comment.
[10/30/07] The Traffic Study needs to address the Pedestrian Level of Service requirements
to and from the site. Please refer to Chapter 4 of the Larimer County Urban Area Street
Standards for this and other requirements. More than likely some sort of sidewalk along
LaPorte Avenue will be necessary to get the kids back and forth to school. This could be
either in concrete at the ultimate location if you want reimbursement for the oversized
portion OR it can be in asphalt with no reimbursement. The sidewalk along this
development's frontage along LaPorte Avenue must be constructed at the ultimate with an
escrow for the curb, gutter and possibly the parkway landscaping. It is not known at this
time whether or not the trees along LaPorte Avenue will be planted now or later. We'll
determine that in Final Compliance.
Topic: Utility Plans -General
Number: 39 Created: 10/30/2007
[3/17/08] Repeat comment. Please meet with John Pedas in Technical Services for
suggestions on how to bring up your plans to standard. The plans are still extremely difficult
to read and will not meet scanning requirements.
[10/30/07] The plans do meet the scanning requirements in Appendix E6. They are
extremely difficult to read as too many similar line weights are used, existing matches
proposed and much information is missing. Please bring the plans up to speed with the next
round of review so that a more detailed review can be provided.
Number: 54 Created: 10/30/2007
[3/19/08] Thank you for adding the Horizontal Control sheet but there is quite a bit of
missing info on it. All easements must be labeled for what they are, as in "9' utility
easement". Can not just label it as 'Y easement". Please dimension all sidewalks, etc. Once
this sheet is complete, then you will not need to call out this info on any other sheet.
Page 10
[10/30/07] No building permit for Lots 1, 2 and 1 at the east end of Kruse Drive will be
issued until the street frontages along those lots are complete. A note on the Site and Utility
Plans indicating this is required and it will also be stated in the Development Agreement.
(Could adjust the turnaround to get 2 more lots and just restrict Lot 1, Blockl).
Number: 58 Created: 10/30/2007
[3/19/08] The utility plans are not clearly showing this information. A dashed line weight is
used to show everything from edge of asphalt to driveways and it's not clear what is being
shown.
[ 10/30/07] Existing features must be shown for a minimum of 150' beyond the project limits.

wall is to stay, we will require its design details in FC.
Topic: Offsite Easements
Number: 160 Created: 3/20/2008
[3/20/08] Off -site ROW slope & utility easements are required for Barton Drive through the
school property. Off -site slope easements may be required for the Webb Avenue street stub
depending on where the 4:1 slope ends. Off -site slope and utility easements are required to
complete the Briarwood Road connection to LaPorte Avenue. An off -site access easement
will be required for the sidewalk through the small lot on the north side of the large detention
pond. In order to go to hearing, only letters of intent from the affected property owner is
required. The actual easement itself will be required during FC and prior to plan approval.
Topic: Plat
Number: 29 Created: 10/30/2007
[3/17/08] Drainage, utility, access, pedestrian access and emergency access easements are

[10/30/071 Per Conceptual Review, this development is responsible for improving LaPorte
Avenue to 36' (2-12' travel lanes and 2-6' bike lanes) in the interim to North Taft Hill Road.
A preliminary design (including 500' of offsite design) is due prior to going to hearing. Keep
in mind minimum cover requirements over any structure. The final design will be due in
Final Compliance.

[3/19/08] The site and landscape plan do a good job of showing this information but the
utility plans are still lacking. The information shown needs to match on all plan sets.
[10/30/07] Need to show existing streets, driveways, sidewalks within 50' of the project
limits and show how this development's proposed improvements are tying into the existing,
all plan sets. This would be for the neighborhoods to the north and across the street on
LaPorte Avenue.
Number: 45 Created: 10/30/2007
[3/19/08] [10/30/07] There is a sidewalk shown crossing another lot on the north side of the
drainage channel. An easement is required from the affected property owner in Final
Compliance, a letter of intent from that owner to grant this easement is necessary in order to
go to hearing.
Number: 48 Created: 10/30/2007
[3/19/08] Please see Denise Weston regarding this comment.
[10/30/071 A pedestrian connection is more than likely going to be required from Tavelli
Street to the sidewalk in the park site if going around up or down the block doesn't meet the
pedestrian level of service requirements. The TIS will need to look into this. See the site
plan red -lines for the area in question.

[3/19/08] Please provide the interim sidewalk connection from the end of the concrete
sidewalk to LaPorte Avenue at the two locations listed below as well as the rest of the design
information required below.
[10/30/07] Construct Bauder Lane and Briarwood Road to the PCs as shown, provide the
interim sidewalk connections to meet the Ped LOS and provide an interim asphalt patch from
the PCs to LaPorte Avenue. Enough FL information for LaPorte Avenue will need to be
provided to see how Briarwood Road and Barton Drive are tying into it. Cash in lieu of
constructing the ultimate curb, gutter and street section in that area must be escrowed prior to
the first building permit. An estimate for their construction costs will be required in FC for
the City's review and approval and that number will go in the Development Agreement.
Number: 51 Created: 10/30/2007
[3/19/08] Building permits can now be issued for the lots on the north side of the street
because the street frontage will be complete. Lot 1 on the south side does not have a

utility plans are still showing a 20' dedication.
[10/30/07] LaPorte Avenue is a 2 lane arterial according to the Master Street Plan. A total
of 84' of row plus a 15' UE is required. There is an existing 60' so this development is
responsible for dedicating an additional 12' of row plus the 15' UE. Currently the plat is

[3/17/08] Repeat comment and update. The county is doing some widening improvements
to LaPorte Avenue that you may be able to coordinate your project with. Please contact Kyle
Amt with Larimer County to see where his project is starting to the east of you. You will
need to tie into his plans (please submit a copy of his design so that we can see that yours'
ties in) and you might even be able to give him the money to build your portion of the
improvements if it's not too late. If you can still do that, we will need some sort of letter

being considered with this second round of PDP review.
[11/6/07] Regarding the requirement set forth in Section 3.5.2(C)(1) Orientation to a
Connecting Walkway, was any alternative plan considered that satisfied this requirement for
Blocks 14, 15, and 16? The Preferred Plan is a plan that is equal to Alternative Plans A & B.

[3/18/08] Regarding solar -oriented lots, Lot 1, Block 12 does not satisfy the definitions of
such a lot. Lots 1 of Blocks 7 - 10 are solar -oriented; however, Lots 2 of Blocks 7 - 10 do not
satisfy the definitions. The overall tally for solar -oriented lots is 54 of 81 lots, or 66.7%. The
minimum of 65% is still being met and, therefore, no Alternative Compliance request is
needed.

[3/18/081 GENERAL NOTE 13 on the Site Plan does reference the Housing Model Variety
requirement as set forth in Section 3.5.2(B) of the LUC. The 2 sheets of "Duplex" Elevations
clearly show 4 different housing models (by definition). However, no information was
provided with the PDP revisions that "shows how the development will comply with the
foregoing requirement" for the single-family detached houses. Possibly just a reference to
Section 3.8.15 of the LUC is sufficient, as done in Section 3.5.2(B)(4).
[10/29/07] Section 3.5.2(B)(1) of the Land Use Code sets forth the requirement for at least 4
different types of housing models for any residential development containing 100 or more
single-family detached or two-family detached (duplex) dwelling units. Each housing model
shall have at least 3 characteristics which clearly and obviously distinguish it from the other
housing models. This includes different floor plans, exterior materials, roof lines, garage
placement, placement of the footprint on the lot, and/or building face. The applicant shall
include in the application for development review documentation showing how the
development will comply with this requirement.
Number: 10 Created: 10/30/2007
[3/18/08] The most recent comments received from the attorney for the New Mercer Ditch
Company are:
a. Written agreements must be signed and fees paid.
b. The natural buffer area must provide for 20' in width from the top of the ditch bank.
C. The New Mercer Ditch will only accept the historic run-off of storm water. Provision
must be made for the increased run-off that will occur when there are roofs, driveways,
and streets.
[10/30/07] A copy of a letter received from Gene Fischer, the attorney for the New Mercer
Ditch Company, is attached to this comment letter. It says that there are potential ditch
crossings and storm drainage issues that must be addressed. Also, there must be a 15'
maintenance easement measured from the ditch bank.

[3/18/08] A letter dated March 4, 2008 from Ed Holder of the Poudre School District was
submitted by the applicant with the revised plans. This letter represents a "letter of intent" by
the District to work with the developer on a street alignment of Barton Drive, at the west end
of the development, that will provide access from LaPorte Avenue across the District's
property.
[10/30/07] John Little of the Poudre School District indicated that they have no problems or
concerns with this development request.

Staff has reviewed your submittal for SANCTUARY WEST, PDP - TYPE 1, and we offer
the following comments:
ISSUES:
Department: Current Planning Issue Contact: Dana Leavitt
Topic: Environmental
Number: 138 Created: 3/19/2008
[3/19/08] The wetlands have to be shown in their entirety in each location. Additional
fieldwork is needed to inspect the wetlands boundaries. Please contact Dana Leavitt after the
wetlands have been delineated in the field to coordinate the field visit. See the red -line notes
on the Site Plan and the Grading Plan.
Number: 139 Created: 3/19/2008
[3/19/08] The area of each of the wetlands will need to be calculated to determine the
appropriate buffer for each per Section 3.4.1 of the Land Use Code (LUC). The impacts
caused by the road and infrastructure improvements for Briarwood Drive are needed to
determine mitigation for the impacted wetlands. Per the red -line notes on the Grading Plan,
prepare a detailed exhibit for each wetland showing the wetland and any impacts to the
wetland.
Number: 140 Created: 3/19/2008
[3/19/08] Additional information on the southern wetland is needed to determine the value
of the wetland which is used to determine mitigation measures per Section 3.4.1 of the LUC.
A meeting to determine the extent of the Ecological Characterization Study (ECS) is needed.
Number: 141 Created: 3/19/2008
[3/19/08] Resolve the discrepancy of information between the Site and Landscape Plans
with the Grading Plan. The Grading Plan labels the wetland as a "saturated area" due to
seepage from the adjacent pond.
Number: 142 Created: 3/19/2008
[3/19/08] Will the adjacent pond be impacted by the grading of the area to the east for storm
water detention? Determine if there is a hydrologic connection and what the impacts will be
once the wetlands are impacted.
Number: 166 Created: 3/21/2008
[3/21/08] Demonstrate that the drainage basin next to the northern wetland will not impact
the quality of the wetland from seepage into the basin.
