Clearly define whether the 2 existing sets of water and sewer services are to be used or abandoned. If
they are to be abandoned include the standard general note to abandon them at the main and to
coordinate abandonment with the City Utilities.
See the site, landscape and utility plans for other comments.
Response: Added Note #5 to Sheet 3. Both existing sets of services are to be used..
We look forward to your prompt and favorable review of this project. Please do not hesitate to contact
me directly if any additional issues arise or are found to be outstanding. We will do our best to make
any necessary changes as expeditiously as possible.
Sincerely,

Please change water quality orifice holes to be one 1/4-inch hole per row for five rows spaced 5-inches
apart instead of 4-inches. This is a non-standard design needed to accommodate for the 2 foot high
structure that is associated with such a small water quality volume and surface area. The 1/8-inch
holes were looked at as probably clogging much more regularly.
Response: Revised WQ orifice holes to be 1-1/4" per row at 5" apart.
Number:106 Created:6/27/2003
Please consider a little less landscaping at the WQ outlet structure. At full plant maturity, there should
be no blockage of outlet structure and access for maintenance.
Response: Landscaping in this area has been pulled back from this point. The plants that remain in
the area are a clump -style ornamental grass (Blue Oats Grama) that should work well in this situation
and not cause any blockage.

Topic: Utility Plan
Number:36 Created:3/14/2003
The utility plans that were submitted are expired and must be resubmitted to current standards
(October 1, 2002 LCUASS). You may revise the older set and bubble out everything that's changed
but it would much easier, faster, and cleaner to resubmit a new plan set under another name that's
different than the expired set. Please see chapter 3 and Appendix E for submittal and design
requirements. Please complete and submit Appendix E4 with the next submittal. Quite a lot of
information was left off this submittal. Expect more comments in the next round if not designed in
accordance with the current street standards.
6/20/3: Your response indicated confusion with what I meant by "current street standards." I was
referring to LCUASS - Larimer County Urban Area Street Standards in short form (as mentioned in the
first sentence of the previous comment). These standards govern all public improvements and are not

Label all existing easements as "existing" and label the recep#. If proposed, label as "proposed". If
vacating, then label as "to be vacated" and hatch in the area lightly showing the area to be vacated.
Response: An Easement Exhibit has been added on Sheet 7 of the utility plans, however this
information has not been added on the overall or drainage plan as it is not relevant to those plans, and
they are already too cluttered. Cityscape does show this information on their site and landscape plans
as appropriate.

There are only a few small items to clear up before we can go to hearing. Current Planning comment
#60 needs to be resolved to staffs satisfaction, all off -site easements need letters of intent, and the
timing of the vacation of the drainage easement relative to the date of the hearing needs to be
coordinated with Engineering and Stormwater. Coordinate with me (Troy Jones) on the revised
landscape plan, and coordinate with Susan Joy on the easement issues. After hearing we will require
a final compliance submittal. The final compliance application will require an application form, a $1000
application fee, 4 site plans, 4 landscape plans, 4 utility plan sets, 1 drainage report, all signed
easements, and all redlines.
Response: OK
Topic: Landscape Plan
Number:60 Created:3/17/2003
[7/1/03] Although the re -submittal clarified the sizes of the various landscape areas, the comments is
still not addressed. The "6% landscaped areas requirement' [required by 3.2.1(E)(5)] applies to the
parking lot only, and not the entire site as a whole. The method to calculate the limits of the parking lot
is clarified in the LUC in the attached photocopy of Figure 1 from Article 3 page 12. Also, see the
purple line depicted on the redlined a copy of the landscape plan. This issue needs to be resolved
prior to going to hearing.
[3/17/03] It appears that less than the required amount of parking lot interior landscaping is being
proposed. Refer to the purple line sketched onto the redlined landscape plan from Current Planning.
This line, represents the vehicular area of which 6 percent must be landscaped area. Include a chart
on the landscape plan that clarifies the square footage of this vehicular area, and also clarifies how
much of that area, in square footage, is devoted to landscaped areas. It is required to be at least 6
percent, and must be communicated on the landscape plan as such [3.2.1(E)(5)].
Response: The illustrative graphic which was faxed to you the day I received this comment has been
incorporated into the Landscape Sheet for better clarification that we meet this standard.

Coordinate the various plan sets so that they present the same information.
6/27/3: The Landscape, Site and Utility plans still do not present the same information. Please
perform some quality control prior to your next submittal.
Response: Continued coordination between the various parties should alleviate the bulk of any
discrepancies. However, note that all these plans do not necessary present the same information
based upon varying checklist requirements and the intent of the plan.

The following departments and agencies forwarded hand written comments directly to me as follows:
Tim Buchanan, City Forester [6/26/03] - Add these notes to the landscape plan:
"A free permit must be obtained from the City Forester before any trees or shrubs as noted on this plan
are plated, pruned or removed in the public right-of-way. This includes all areas between the sidewalk
and curb and street medians. This permit shall approve the location and species to be planted.
Failure to obtain this permit may result in replacing or relocating trees and a hold on certificate of
occupancy."
"The developer shall contact the City Forester to inspect all street tree planting at completion. All trees
need to have been installed as shown on the landscape plan. Approval of street tree planing is
required before final approval. Failure to obtain approval by the City Forester for street tree planting
shall result in a hold on certificate of occupancy."
Response: These notes have been added to Sheet 2, as Notes # 20 & #23.
Len Hilderbrand, Xcel Energy [6/17/03] - No Comment.
Response: Comment was received at the Administrative hearing on 7/29/03 regarding a concern
about the location of the gas line in relation to the public sidewalk along Mason St. We met with Mr.
Hilderbrand on 7/31/03. He was satisfied with the proposed situation where the existing gas line will
remain about 1' to the west of the edge of that walk.
