155. Correct sanitary sewer profile. (scale, inverts, other utility crossings, etc.)
Profile drawings will be corrected Jeff Hill also sketched a detail of the traffic rated clean out that
will be used in this project. This detail will be added to the plans.
156. Clearly define the abandonment of existing stub and core drilling of new connection at sanitary sewer
manhole.
OX
157. Use 1.5 inch water services for all 6-plex buildings. Include the 1.5 inch meter pit detain on the detail
sheets.
The mechanical engineer for this project, RAD One Design, provided TSP with fixture count
calculations for each building. The calculations show that a 1-inch water service is sufficient for
each building. Jeff Hill requested a copy of the calculations. He advised TSP to provide I %"
service instead because there is no difference in tap fees compared to a I"service. Apparently, the
water pressure available in this area is approximately 50-60 psi. We also discussed the water
needs for the yard irrigation system for the site. Jeff Hill suggested that a 1 %" water meter pit be
added somewhere at the center of the site strictly for irrigation. TSP will contact an irrigation
designer tofind out whether that is sufficient.
158. Provide insulation detail and calculations for our review. See attached.
Jeff Hill provided the detail for sanitary sewer pipe insulation. The detail will be added to the plan
set.
162. Re -align sanitary sewer at tie-in to existing sewer as shown on marked up plans.
The City Standards do not allow shallow angle connections for sanitary sewer lines. JVA revised
their drawings fron the last review to eliminate the shallow angle connection they had for the line
that was realigned with Brook Drive and added a manhole to achieve this. In this review, Water
and Wastewater felt that the additional manhole would not be easily accessible for maintenance
work because it is located in the natural resources buffer zone and in a very steep area. Jeff Hill
requested that the drawings be revised back to previous design to show a shallow angle connection
for this line and eliminate the additional manhole.
Current Planning
Can additional sidewalk connections be added from the living units to the pedestrianibike path to the east?
The slopes fronn the living units to the path on the west are too steep to incorporate additional sidewalk
connections. They will not comply with ADA.
At the conclusion of this meeting, it was decided that the Engineering Department would schedule meetings
with Light and Power so that the design team can review their comments with them and the owners of the
Skyline Acres to discuss the signatures required on the plat and the utility plan set as well as the pedestrian
path that is to be extended to Richmond Drive from this property. If there are any discrepancies in this
memorandum, please let me know so that I can get them corrected.

Kevin Tone and Curtis Kostecki, JVA, Inc.
The City requested t z shallower pipe such as an elliptical pit installed The pavement above
the pipe needs to be protected by geoteclrriical fabric. JVA will investigate if the storm sewer slstenr
can be lowered to obtain more cover over the pipe.
126. Please provide a variance request regarding the spacing of intersections on an arterial (the Standards
require 1320' between intersections, please show what is existing)
The City requested that the curb cut into the development should align with Seneca Street across
from W. Horsetooth. The spacing between this intersection and Shields is less than 1320'. The
City requested an application for a variance be included with the application for variances for
Kunz Court street setback and driveway design for Brook Drive.
This engineering variance was approved by Cbampney A. McNair, A. City Engineer at the City
meeting on August 29, 2001. No variance letter will be required

landscape/utility separation distances.
The landscape plan will be revised to match the civil plans.
150. Permanent structures may not be placed in utility easements. (ie. trash enclosures, development
signage, etc.
The trash enclosure was relocated at the last minute. The site plan will be revised so that the trash
enclosure in not located in the utility easement.
151. Provide concrete encasement of all sewer lines which cross above or within 18-inches vertically of
water line.
The water and sanitary sewer lines located close to the curb cut from IY Horsetooth appear to be
very close to each other. The pipes have to be concrete encased if they are less than 18" apart.
152. Use different line types to distinguish between utilities, ROW(s), easements, etc.
There was an error made during the plotting of the overall utilityplan submitted The line types
for the drawings will be corrected.
153. Provide gravity block design on water main lowerings.
The City has a new detail for the water line crossing detail. JVA will revise the drawings.

Additional spot elevations will be provided.
117. Please provide more details/spot elevations regarding the driveway cut across from Brook Drive.
There is not enough information given to make a judgement on the variance request.
A variance fora different design for the driveway ut Brook Drive is required. This can be included
in the same application as the variance./or the setback at Kunz Court. The driveway has deviated
fronz the City Standards because of the need to convey emergency, oveaflow from Westfield park
and V0,4 detention pond oven flows through Brook Drive in the .100 year or greater storm.
This engineering variance was approved by Champney A. R:fcNair, Jr. City.Engineer tit the City
nneeting on August 29, 2001. No variance letter will be required.
119. Site plan:
Please match the site plan with the utility plans and plat. Easements, ROW, radii and other items do
not match. See redlines.
The site plan will be revised.
120. High swell soils need to be addressed in the soils report.
This issue is duly noted especially at the cul-de-sac and the entrance to the development.
122. Please provide design of pedestrian bridge and address the issue of who will be building it.
The City will provide TSP and JVA with the standard City design for this bridge. The City
informed its that the bridge would be built by VOA, with no funding assistance from the City or the
adjacent property. VOA will also be responsible for funding half of the pedestrian trail along the
west boundary of the property. The City believes the ftttnding will be available to build the other
half of the trail sometime in 2002.

98. Where is the design for Brook Drive? The design of Brook Drive is required for 500' beyond the
proposed construction (plan and profile) (7.4.1.A8)
Additional survey is required to design Brook Drive.
TSP and JVA received an e-mailfrom Katie Moore on August 17, 2001 stating that the City will
not require a design for Brook Drive. However, the pedestrian and bike path still needs to be
extended to Richmond Drive. The additional survey work is still required.
99. Please see Kunz Court plans for additional redlines.
In reviewing this item, Katie Moore informed its that recorded easements are required for the
vision triangles at the driveways along Kunz Court.
100. Kunz Court profiles:

This easement is wit the ditch and access easements on the p The ditch and access
easements on the west boundary of the site will be revised to include the construction easement.
33. Street standards (drawing 19-03) require a 40' setback of the first parking stall from the flowline for
the street or an approved variance to the standard.
JVA is in the process of working on the application for a variance. TSP and JVA pointed out that
if the 40' setback were enforced, it would make the site almost impossible to develop.
This engineering variance Was approved by Chumpney A. McNair, Jr. City F,ngineer at the City
meeting on August 29, 2001. No variance letter will be required.
36. Driveways should be shown as concrete to edge of ROW.
JVA pointed out that this condition is very apparent in the drawings, bunt would include a detail tag
at all the driveway locations to comply with the City's request.
37. Horsetooth Improvements/ROW
Please dedicate 57.5' for Horsetooth ROW.
Please design Horsetooth improvements for ultimate conditions, showing continuance to grade and
ground lines for 1000' beyond proposed construction (for continuity with adjacent areas).
The ROW will be shown in the drawings. In talking about this issue, the City expressed that they
have not decided whether the widening of W. Horsetooth should be constructed in this project.
Matt Baker front Street Oversizing proposed not to widen the street at this time, but requested that
a design for the widening of the street be available for bidding so that the cost is known and can be
escrowed with the City. If the work is not done in this project, then JVA will need to design the
curb cut into the development to include a culvert to maintain the existing irrigation lateral along
the south side of W. Horsetooth. We then discussed how to taper W. Horsetooth from the widened
portion of the street on the west side of the property to the existing street on the east. TSP and JVA
were informed that the 320' taper beyond this property to the east as shown in the drawings is
insufficient. Dave Stringer then requested three alternative designs from JVA. One to show a curb
cut to tie into the existing street. The second design will show the widening of W. Horsetooth to the
ultimate width within the boundaries of this property and the third design will show the ultimate
widening of W. Horsetooth to 1000' beyond this property. The City proposed to compensate the
owner for engineering design costs through the streets oversizing program for the engineering
efforts required for the third design. Dave Stringer will also consult with the Transportation
Department to determine what are the limits of the taper for W. Horsetooth and inform the design
team as soon as possible.
TSP and JVA received an e-nail from Katie Moore on August 17, 2001 stating that the existing
curb and gutter on the west end of the property shall tie into the existing curb and gutter at W.
Horsetooth and Shields at a straight line. The City would like the north and south flowlines of W.
Horsetooth be shown: in the ultimate design 1000' beyond this property. Additional surveying work
will be needed at TE Horsetooth and Shields to determine the ultimate design. .Signing and striping
plans for the offsite ultinmfe design outside ROR fr•orrtage oJ'this project art., not required. The
curb and gutter along W. Horsetooth within this property will need to be built in this project to
assist with drainage.
38. Variance requests must be made by a licensed professional engineer, and include the identification of
the issue, proposed alternate design, a comparison to standards, and justification of the variance.
(Section 1.9.2 in the street standards explains in further detail).
Please resubmit your requests following these guidelines
(FYI — the request for the wider street width will most likely not be supported by staff).
Sante as item 33. Katie Moore said that the mote that the staff will not support a wider street width
might not be true now.
48. A pedestrian and bicycle connection needs to be made from Brook Drive street stub to Richmond
Drive within existing Brook Drive ROW. (repeat comment)
