Fossil Lakes PUD, 3 rd Filing (page 4 of 4) October 1, 2001
Comments on the letter from Aller Lingle dated Aug 21, 2001 - review criteria for planned development.
1. The letter states that the path along the south boundary of the property is an 8-foot path when infact this Trail will
be 10 feet minimum and quite possibly will be a 12-foot Trail. (I" page 51' paragraph)
2. Under the vehicular circulation and parking section it is stated that an attached 5-foot walk is proposed in lieu of a
4-foot wide detached walk. The minimum requirements for a detached sidewalk are 4.5 feet. Therefore a 5 foot
attached walk is proposed in lieu of a 4.5 foot detached walk. (2"d page Yd paragraph)
3. In the same section as mentioned above the reference to the width of adjacent street sidewalks is incorrect. The
adjacent streets (Shallow Pond Drive and Snowy Creek Drive) will have 4.5-foot sidewalks not the 4-foot that they
indicate. (2"d page 5d' paragraph) These references need to be corrected.
Comments on Development agreement for fossil lake pud 3`d filing
1. In section 2 the reference to the width of the bicycle -pedestrian trail is incorrect, unless this is referring to the
connection they are making to the regional trail. If this is the case it needs to be clarified. The regional trail will be
a minimum of 10 feet wide and quite possibly could be 12 feet wide.
2. There is nothing in this agreement that indicates that the private.streets and surrounding public streets (a part of the
2"d filing) will need to be in place — curb, gutter, sidewalk and the first lift of pavement prior to the issuance of any
building permits.
3. Section 26 — at this time there is nothing indicated on the plans that is to be maintained by any other entity that the
development. Is this section really needed? We should be approving the plans if they indicate anywhere that we
are responsible for maintaining something on them. If this Section is kept the following changes should be made.
Revise a) to read: "Larimer County and the City of Fort Collins have agreed that the City of Fort Collins will
assume routine maintenance of public improvements on the Property, at the end of the warranty period." Revise b)
to read: "Upon the expiration of the warranty (2 years from the date of final acceptance of completion of the public
improvements and in accordance with paragraph 22 of this Development Agreement) and upon consummation of
the intended annexation process, the maintenance of the public improvements identified in the approved utility
plans shall be the responsibility of the City of Fort Collins. If the City of Fort Collins fails or refuses to perform its
inspection or maintenance obligations, the county agrees that it will cooperate with the Developer to compel
performance by the City of Fort Collins of its maintenance and inspection obligations in connection with this
development."
4. Add the following in under section 10. Streets. "Any excavations in existing City of Fort Collins rights -of -way, for
utility connections or any other purposes, will only be allowed following the issuance of an Excavation Permit from
the City of Fort Collins. The Developer agrees to obtain such permit(s) as needed and to comply with all
requirements associated with such permits."
5. Add the following into section 18. Erosion Control at the end of the first sentence. "and shall maintain the erosion
control facilities throughout the duration of construction activities."
6. Section 21.(e) Cost Estimates and Guarantee of improvements make the folowing changes as the City will inspect
the private street construction as it would for private streets constructed within the City limits. "(NOTE: As streets
and sidewalks interior to the Property are designated as "private" City inspection of said streets shall be required.)
7. Under section 22. Developer Guarantees and Warranty Collateral add "design," into the first sentence after "defects
in".
Fossil Lakes PUD, 3 rd Filing (page 3 of 4) October 1, 2001
Utility Plans
8. Use current general notes (see attached).
9. Provide Indemnification statement per 3.3.11 on the cover sheet.
10. Provide Construction notes as applicable.
11. Utility Plan - need to show what is being installed with Shallow Pond Drive for the site as existing.

12. Off -site easements are needed for the grading and sidewalk work on the property to the northwest of the site.
13. Per 9.4.11 no more than 500 square feet of sheet flow from a driveway can go across a sidewalk. You will need to
adjust grades in many of the driveways so that the 500-foot threshold is not exceeded.
14. Is parks allowing the retaining wall within the trail easement? I doubt it (if all the parks department received for
review is the site and landscape plans they will have no idea that the wall is even proposed as it is not shown on
those plans).
15. The storm sewer system in the cul-de-sac has both inlets located within driveways. You can not have an inlet in the
driveway as the inlet will have a vertical face a thus not something easily driven over. And per the inlet detail a 5-
foot transition is needed to transition the vertical face to drive over curb or even a curb cut.
Street plan and profile
16, Driveways need to intersect at 90 degrees with the street and the maximum driveway width is 36 feet per detail 7-
29B. A minimum 6 foot wide median is needed between the split drives (otherwise they exceed the 36 feet) and
between the large drive in the northwest comer.
17. Need to provide a pedestrian ramp at the `T' intersection on the south side of the street. (16.3.I.A.2) This ramp can
be combined with a driveway cut as long as the ramp is built to ADA standards and has the red square, scoring and
other ramp standards.
18. Provide design information in accordance with 3.3.4. Provide PI, PC, PT, curb return radii, curb return information
and other items as required by that section.
19. Provide flowline profiles per 3.3.4.13.2
20. On Stonewater Court - min k value for a crest curve on a 25 mph is 20, and per detail 7-17 the min curve length is
70 feet. 1
21. Per 7.4. LB the minimum flowline grade in a cul-de-sac is 1%. Need to show that is being done and provide
enough information to be able to verify it.
22. What are the cul-de-sac radii? Minimum flowline radius is 40 feet. The center island radii are to be 12 feet per 7-
24A.
23. Provide a curve table.
24. Provide intersection elevations in accordance with detail 7-32A
25. Indicate what the island median curb type is to be.
26. Not meeting 19.2.3 that requires 1 parking space for each residence that has frontage on the cul-de-sac.
27. Provide a typical cross section. Nothing on here indicates the flowline to flowline width, curb type or sidewalk
width.
28. Provide station information for all driveways and indicate the driveway widths. 3.3.4.A.12
29. From the elevations provided and an estimate of the pavement width, some of the x-slopes in the cul-de-sacs do not
meet minimum requirements. The x-slope needs to be between 2% and 3%.
Details
30. Per detail 16-1 all sidewalk in Fort Collins is to be 6 inches thick minimum. Provide this detail or adjust with on
detail 7-20B.
31. Provide detail 7-29A if you plan on using driveway cuts. It is recommended that driveway cuts are used for at least
the driveways shared by the 4 garages.
32. Provide detail 7-29A modified to show how the pedestrian ramp is to be built as a part of this ramp at the south side
of the `T'.
33. Provide details 7-20C, 7-14, 7-33, 22-1 and 7-21 or 7-22.
Comments on `notice to prospective purchasers of special conditions related to development use of property in fossil
lake 3rd'
1. Page 2 - under roads and streets - There are no streets in this development that provide through access to adjoining
property. A more accurate statement would be: There are streets adjacent to this development, which are intended
to provide through access to adjoining properties. The adjacent streets are technically not a part of this project.

Fossil Lakes PUD, 3 rd Filing (page 2 of 4) October 1, 2001
Landscape Plan
1. The landscaping and structures on the island in the cul-de-sac need to meet sight distance restrictions. Indicate this
and place these restrictions on the landscape plan.
2. " The wall height within the island doesn't meet the sight distance easement restrictions.
Plat
I . The 6-foot drainage easement along the south portion of the property that is shown on the site and utility plans is
not shown on the plat.
2. I believe that the 15-foot access easement along the south property line might need to be a trail easement. This
easement should be dedicated to Park's standards and requirements.
3. Per standards (7-24A) the radius for a center island in a cul-de-sac is 12 feet not what is shown.
4. Tracts B and C need to be identified as sight distance easements also. Provide sight distance easement restrictions
on the plat.
SIGHT DISTANCE EASEMENT RESTRICTIONS:
Sight Distance Easement — The sight distance easement is an easement required by the City at
some street intersections where it is necessary to protect the line of sight for a motorist needing to
see approaching traffic and to react safely for merging their vehicle into the traffic flow. The
following are requirements for certain objects that may occupy a sight distance easement for.level
grade:
(1) Structures and landscaping within the easement shall not exceed 24 inches in height with the
following exceptions:
(a) Fences up to 42 inches in height may be allowed as long as they do not obstruct the line of
sight for motorists.
(b) Deciduous trees may be allowed as long as all branches of the trees are trimmed so that no
portion thereof or leaves thereon hang lower than six (6) feet above the ground, and the trees are
spaced such that they do not obstruct line of sight for motorists. Deciduous trees with trunks large
enough to obstruct line of sight for motorists shall be removed by the owner.
For non -level areas these requirements shall be modified to provide the same degree of visibility.
5. Need to identify who is to own and maintain all of the tracts.
6. Provide the following note on the plat regarding private street maintenance:
The following shall be placed on the plat set apart from the other notes in a box labeled as "NOTICE" when private
drives or streets are utilized on the property:
I NOTICE G
ALL RESPONSIBILITIES AND COSTS OF OPERATION, MAINTENANCE AND"
RECONSTRUCTION OF THE PRIVATE STREETS AND/OR DRIVES LOCATED ON THE
PRIVATE PROPERTY THAT IS THE SUBJECT OF THIS PLAT SHALL BE BORNE.BY THE
OWNERS OF SAID PROPERTY, EITHER INDIVIDUALLY, OR COLLECTIVELY, THROUGH A
PROPERTY OWNERS' ASSOCIATION, IF APPLICABLE. THE CITY OF FORT COLLINS
SHALL HAVE NO OBLIGATION OF OPERATION, MAINTENANCE OR RECONSTRUCTION
OF SUCH PRIVATE STREETS AND/OR DRIVES NOR SHALL THE CITY HAVE ANY
OBLIGATION TO ACCEPT SUCH STREETS AND/OR DRIVES AS PUBLIC STREETS OR
DRIVES.
The radius at the entry to the cul-de-sac is too small. Per detail 7-24A the flowline radius is 50 feet and the row
radius is equal to the flowline radius (50') minus the width from the flowline to the back of sidewalk. As this
distance is not 16 or more feet the radius shown are not correct.

PLEASE RETURN ALL REDLINED PLANS WITH NEXT REVIEW.
Site Plan
1. Driveways need to intersect at 90 degrees with the street and the maximum driveway width is 36 feet per detail 7-
29B. A minimum 6 foot wide median is needed between the split drives (otherwise they exceed the 36 feet) and
between the large drive in the northwest comer.
2. Need to provide a pedestrian ramp at the `T' intersection on the south side of the street. (16.3.1.A.2) This ramp can
