Please explore this idea with Engineering. Not sure what this comment relates too. There are no county streets to the east. There are platted lots and existing homes C. Street trees and a sidewalk will be required along Countryside Road. These have been included. d. Contact Pete Wray to determine if the East Mulberry Corridor Plan has any impact upon this property. This was done. The access plan was not complete enough to determine if there were any impacts on this development. Concept Review Response RIVERBEND PROJECT DEVELOPMENT PLANS 4 C. Please provide a visible address with 6-inch numerals on a contrasting background visible from the street. See notes on Site Plan. d.

The access plan was not complete enough to determine if there were any impacts on this development. b. A Transportation Impact Study is required. Contact Eric Bracke regarding the scooping of the study for vehicular modes of transporation. Contact Tom Reiff for other modes. Per Fsfc Bracke, no traffic study is required. C. We will be looking for sidewalk connection out to Timberline for this project. A sidewalk has been added to the south side of Countryside Road 8. Natural Resources a. The site drains into city ponds. The Natural resources department may consider selling drainage easements Per discussions with Doug Moore, this may no longer be possible, therefore the storm drainage system has been designed to release at the historic two year release rate. b. An Ecological Characterization Study is required. Per Doug Moore, this is no longer required. C. The buffer areas are a significant issue. Buffer from ponds (significantly use by waterfowl) is a minimum of 300 feet. Non -significant ponds require a 100-foot buffer. We need to determine if there are nesting activities on the city property. Will follow up With Natural Areas staff. Per meetings with Doug Moore, we have modified the site plan to keep buildings 100 feet away from the edge of the ponds, and site improvements at 80 feet. Storm drain ponds may be constructed within the buffer if landscaped with native plant material which has been accomplished. d. Study of Prebles Jumping Mouse and Ladies Tressid Orchid should be included in ECS.

These are included as part of the submittal package C. Onsite detention may be required buit if an outfall system is designed with 100 year developed capacity to the ponds then there would not be a need for onsite water quantity detention. An easement from the Natural Resources department is required to release stormwater into their ponds. Onsite water quality extended detention is required to treat runoff. Natural Resources may allow treatment in the pond but usually they require treatment upstream of their ponds. The detention ponds have been designed to release at the Z year historic flow rate, thereby negating any need for off -site easements 6. Poudre Fire Authority a. Dedication of a fire lane must be required. See Plat b. The water needs for the site are 1500 gallons per minute at 20 pounds per square inch.
