01/23/2015: The TIS shows that four auxiliary turn lanes are warrented but not
constructed within the study area. One lane (NB right at Taft/Horsetooth) is not
impacted by this proposal. One lane (WB right at Horsetooth and Silver Trails)
will be done by the City with striping after the overlay project this summer. The
two remaining lanes (SB rights from Taft onto Bronson and Horsetooth) are
impacted by school traffic. If GVA proposes to not build the lanes, please
provide a variance request with narrative and justification. Thanks.

The two north most street trees along Taft Hill Road have not been installed or
cannot be accurately identified as existing. there is space for only one street
tree in this area but there is an open space for another street tree to the south.
Please indicate on these phase to plans that these two missing street trees will
be planted and show the locations where they will be planted. Contact the City
Forester to obtain a permit for the planting of these two street trees.

The existing street trees planted in phase one are showing varying amounts of
transplant stress. City Forestry staff will inspect the street trees in the spring to
determine if the development will need to replace any of the existing street trees
planted in 2014. If replacements need to occur the development will be notified
to replace dead or dying street trees. Please contact the City Forester, Tim
Buchanan at 2216361 or tbuchanan @fcgov.com with any question about the
City inspection and acceptance process for City Street Trees.

01/21/2015: Does the bus lane need to extend towards Bronson this close to
the drive approach? It appears that if you end the bus lane further into the
property you will reduce the amount of new pavement added to the site and
minimize the bus and car conflict at the drive approach off of Bronson.

01/21/2015: With the addition of the paved lanes interior to the property and the
new curb and gutter along the private drive a grading plan will need to be
submitted for review as part of the project. Will the existing inlet (near Bronson)
be relocated?
