Due to outstanding issues about the private drive versus public street,
sidewalks and pedestrian connectivity, garage door placement and setbacks,
storm drainage concerns, and potential impacts to the adjacent natural area, it
is important to schedule a meeting with City staff to discuss the issues.
Engineering, Stormwater, Natural Resources, Transportation Planning, Poudre Fire
Authority, and Planning must be present at this meeting. Please call me at 221-6341
to assist you in scheduling the meeting. I will be out of my office from Thursday, April

Indicate bldg footprint dimensions and relative distance to nearest property line.
The following comments and concerns were expressed at staff review on March 20,
2002:
Engineering
The applicant has not addressed the Poudre Fire Authority's addressing
concern.
2. The project title varies from plan to plan. The plans must be consistent.
3. Garage doors need to be set back at least 20' from the back of sidewalk to
prevent vehicles from being parked blocking the walk.
4. The private drive entrance from Countryside Drive needs to be perpendicular to
the street.
5. The necessary additional street right-of-way for Countryside Drive is not being
shown on all plans.
6. The subdivision plat is not adequate.
7. Show all utility easements on the appropriate plans.
8. The tie from the section corner is in conflict.
9. The text on the subdivision plat is too small to reproduce and be legible.
10. Easement dedications with the Natural Resources Department are needed.
11. The plans need to be reviewed by the ELCO Water District and the Boxelder
Sanitation District.
Stormwater
The outfall to the natural area to the south requires a letter of intent for an
easement from the City before going to public hearing. The applicant should get
this item to the Natural Resources Advisory Board as soon as possible for a
decision and acquisition of the letter of intent. The actual easement must be
included in the final compliance submittal package.

Please provide 1-foot of freeboard from bottom of pond spillway. See redlined
drainage report.
Topic: Erosion/Sediment Control
130
1. The legend symbol for silt fencing doesn't match the plan symbol.
2. What is to protect the existing pond to the south from sedimentation from the
installation of the 15" RCP WQ pond outlet pipe?
3. How are the properties to the east to be protected from sediment transport during
the installation of the 15" RCP along the east side of the development?
4. Previous note #3 has not been addressed with regard to utilizing the WQ pond as
a sediment trap with a gravel filter.
5. Previous note #4 has not been addressed. Any reseeding/sodding, etc to be
done is a part of the erosion control plan. Whatever is on the landscape plan (which
is never seen by the people doing the erosion control) should be repeated on the
E.C. plan.
6. What reseeding/mulching is to be done on the excavation going into the Natural
Areas pond with the pipeline,"and in the natural area that will be disturbed near the
silt fence south of the pond? This should be coordinated with Natural Resources, a
seed mix/method decided upon with their input, and then a note placed on the
erosion control plan stating what was decided.
7. Why are straw bales being placed in the existing swale to the west?
8. Previous note # 5 has not been addressed.

All plant material within the Natural Area Buffer must be native to the Fort Collins
area. 3.4.1(E)
93
Performance Standards are not being met -
The Natural Areas Team feels that the current Landscape Plan does not meet the
intent of the Performance Standards and that more vegetation is needs to be added
to buffer between the activity proposed for the development and the natural habitat.
3.4.1(E)
94
Install a fence along southside of property -
Natural Areas would like to see a fence installed along the south property line
between the development and the River Bend Ponds Natural Area. River Bend
Ponds Natural Area is a "Trail Only" natural area and limit entrance points to the
area is a key management practice for the natural area.

Topic: Electric
107
Existing electric is at the N.E. corner of Timberline & Countryside. Developer will
need to provide off site easements along the north side of Countryside from
Timberline Rd.
108
Light & Power will need to cross countryside Rd. Developer will need to pay
additional costs to bore the street (if possible). As an alternative, the developer will
need to provide a street cut permit, pay permit and impact fees, pay additional costs
to cut asphalt, and replace asphalt as necessary to meet city standards.

10/16/01: See the Land Use Code 3.6.2(L)2 and contact Ron Gonzales, 416-2864,
with the PFA. It appears that buildings 6,7,8 are out of fire access (max 150') from a
public street. Is there a separate "man door" at the rear of the buildings? Fire
access cannot be taken through the garage. If there IS a separate entrance and
PFA can serve off the private drive, then the private drive must be dedicated as an
emergency access easement. Show on Plat.
03/19/02: Repeat. Appears that the main entrance has been moved to the rear,
however, still need the separate emergency access easement dedicated on the plat.
This can not be combined into Tract A's blanket easement because not all of Tract A
is fire accessible. This comment appears under "Plat" as well and was provided
here for your information.
117
03/19/02: The Site plan does not match the utility plan. Please coordinate the
sheets so that they present the same information.

Len Hilderbrand of Excel Energy (Public Service) offered the following comments:
1. The building envelope for Lots 1 & 2 encroaches into an easement on the
west end of the lots.
2. Meters must be clustered together on the west wall of Lot 3 to serve Lots 3 -
8.
3. The water curb stop must be to the back of the easement. If telephone, cable,
and electric equipment are located within the 9' easement, then the easement
must be expanded to 11' in width.
4. The gas line must be located in the street right-of-way with a minimum 10,
clearance from water and sewer.
5. Any relocation of existing gas lines will be at the developers expense.

10/16/01: Coordinate the various sheets so that they present the same information.
03/19/02: Repeat. For instance, the Plat shows another 2.5' of ROW being
dedicated and this needs to be reflected on the landscape and utility plans. The
sidewalks on the private drive are shown one way on the utility plans and another on
the site/landscape plans. The project title varies from Landscape/Site plan to Plat to
Utility Sheets. Easements are shown on some sheets and not on others ... etc.
118
03/19/02: Who does the existing fence shown on the south side of the property
belong to? Is it city property or does it belong to this development? What type of
fence is it? Please show the additional fence required by Natural Resources.
119
Garage doors must be setback 20' from back of walk and perpendicular to the street.
Garages must be recessed and cannot exceed more than 50% of the street
frontage. The driveway entrance from Countryside must be perpendicular to the
street + or - 10 degrees for a minimum of 25'. Sidewalks must be continuous
through the driveways and grade separated. The utility plans show a proposed VC
curb running parallel to the garages but no sidewalk, while the site/landscape plans
show the sidewalk that's even with the drive aisle. See 3.5.2 of the Land Use Code
regarding orientation to a connecting walkway requirements (no building shall be
more than 200' from a street sidewalk), building setbacks, and garage doors.

ISSUES:
Department: Current Planning
Issue Contact: Steve Olt
98
Eric Bracke of the Traffic Operations Department offered the following comments:
No Transportation Impact Study is required.
2. The parking on Countryside Drive will be eliminated.
100
Doug Martine of Light & Power offered the following comments:
Off -site easements along the north side of Countryside Road (Drive) will be
necessary.
2. Electric meters will need to be "gated" at the west end of Buildings 3 - 8, and
on the south or west end of Buildings 1 & 2.
3. Light & Power will need to cross Countryside Road (Drive) and the developer
will need to provide a street cut permit, pay the permit and impact fees, and
repair asphalt as necessary.
4. The Lighting and Landscape Plans show a proposed streetlight on the east
side of Countryside Road (Drive). This location is acceptable to L&P, but the
street trees need to be a minimum of 40' from the light.
102
Dennis Greenwalt of AT&T Broadband (cable TV) indicated that the Riverbend PDP
is too far from their facilities for service at this time and does not meet the franchise
requirements. With this project being in the city limits of Fort Collins and no one else
holding a franchise for Fort Collins, there should not be any cable service available.
