- If the storm inlets and piping in Lake Street and then downstream of the inlets
in Lake Street are to be considered public, then a drainage easement will be
required through the site, for the storm line taking drainage from Lake Street to
the detention pond. However, if the storm inlets and piping in Lake Street and
downstream are privately owned and maintained by CSU, then these will not
require an easement.
JVA Response: The entire storm drain system will be private and maintained by CSU. The Utility plan calls
out the storm drains as private.
- A drainage easement will not be required for the detention pond as this pond
is within CSU's MS4,
JVA Response: Noted, thank you.
- Utility Easements:
1. Easements for the existing water and sewer alignments will need to be
provided to ensure an easement is in place for the existing utilities while the
proposed utilities are being constructed. These can be provided by separate
document.
2. Easements for the proposed water and sewer alignments can be provided
ahead of the platting process by separate document. The final plat will then
need to reference these easements with their recordation numbers.
3. Easements for the old water and sewer alignments can be vacated once the
new utility easements are in place and the lines are in service.
JVA Response: Noted, thank you. We are proceeding with dedicating the new easements by separate
document and referencing them on the plat.

12/04/2015: Utility Plans
- In the meeting with CSU, JVA and City staff on 12/3/15 we discussed the
possibility of the sewer main becoming CSU's to own and maintain as it mostly
services CSU facilities, with the exception of the single family residence at
1407 S. College Ave. If CSU plans to take over the ownership/maintenance of
this sewer main, no easement to the City will be required. Otherwise, if this main
remains City infrastructure, then an easement will be required.
JVA Response: CSU is currently investigating this. We will keep you updated on the decision and how
they would like to move forward. At the time of this submittal we are showing the sanitary sewer main as
public and within easements.
- Encasements or steel casings are required anywhere where the waterline
passes below a sewer or storm sewer. Please indicate on the plans.
JVA Response: Steel encasement is now shown, and the detail added to the plan set.
- The proposed sewer main alignment should be moved away from the
architectural features (seat walls, retaining walls, patio) that are along the east
side of the building. In the meeting on 12/3/15 we discussed moving the sewer
line to the west side of the building along the waterline alignment. There is a
potential that some of the existing main in Prospect Alley may need to be
revised to account for this longer run around the west side of the building. The
City has provided existing sewer service locations in this area to JVA in the
event that they need to revise this segment of sewer.
JVA Response: The sewer main is now routed on the west side of the building at the minimum slope.

dedicated (although it can be dedicated as shown). It can stay right-of-way as
shown or can be a utility and access easement in lieu. The utility and access
easement needs to be a minimum of 15 feet wide or extend to the back of the

JVA Response: The modification to this ramp may not work if the City would like to keep the large
evergreen at this corner. This tree is very close to the existing sidewalk and ramp and does not allow
construction of a directional ramp without cutting into the trees root system considerably. The existing inlet
in Lake Street confines any curb cut to west of the inlet, and out of the typical pedestrian path across Lake.

11/27/2015: 1. Depending on the timing of the plat and the utility plans the plat
will need to change in one of two ways. This is because easements need to
exist for the existing utilities and need to be provided in the new location prior to
the utilities being relocated.
a. If the plat is to be filed prior to the utilities within the alley being relocated
them a utility easement along the alley and court where utilities existing will need
to be dedicated on the plat. This easement can then be vacated by separate
document once the utilities have been relocated.
b. If the utilities are to be relocated prior to the plat being filed then easements
for the utilities to be relocated within will need to be dedicated by separate
document prior to the utility relocation. These easements by separate
document will need to be noted on the plat.
JVA Response: We are anticipating moving forward with dedicating these per separate document prior to
the plat being filed. The plat will reference these documents, and once the new utilities are in service and
the existing ones abandoned/removed we will vacate the unnecessary easements.

construction. Is the flowline location moving from what exists? If it is moving
then we will need a design for this (plan and profile and cross sections). If it is
staying in the same location just being reconstructed then we need lots more
spot elevations. Notes identifying the curb is to be replaced back at existing
elevations and the contractor is responsible for surveying and identifying the
existing grades prior to reconstruction.
JVA Response: The curb along Lake Street is only to be removed and replaced. The alignment is the

occur. The plan now only shows the future design not what this is going to look
like when this line is installed. Need to show existing features and how the tie in
works now. Also then need to note what will need to happen when the road
work does occur for the sewer manhole— at a minimum the manhole cover will
need to be reset.
JVA Response: We are now only showing the existing conditions at Prospect Road. Any modifications to
the utilities required for the Prospect Road improvements will be called out on those plans. We are now
considering these two plan sets as different "projects".

Mason Trail. This would not be an asphalt patch.

is currently shown to be attached. This needs to be designed and constructed
meeting the West Central Area Plan — which identifies a 10 sidewalk detached
by a minimum of 6.5 feet. The right-of-way needs to align with the back this
sidewalk location.
JVA Response: As discussed in the December 1 Staff Review Meeting, the detached sidewalk at this
corner does not match the existing attached sidewalk along the BRT, would create only a small patch of
landscaping between the curb and sidewalk, still needs to be attached at the proposed bus pullout, and
therefore is not going to be required. The sidewalk will now be shown on the separate set of Prospect
Road improvement plans and will not be a part of this set, final coordination on the location of the sidewalk
will take place at that time.

11/27/2015: 15. The easement lines need to be shown on the plans.
JVA Response: The easement, property, and right-of-way lines are shown on Sheet C2.0 and C3.0. Due
to conflicting callouts on the grading plan, we will not be showing the easements on the grading plans.

16. The plans are showing a wide attached sidewalk adjacent the Mason Trail at
the NW corner of the site. If you plan on doing this the curbed wing of the
pedestrian ramp will need to be reconstructed with a flare that meets ADA
standards. Is there anything else — signs, poles, pedestals, etc. that will need to
be relocated in this area to accommodate the wide sidewalk tying into the
existing sidewalk?l1/27/2015:
JVA Response: CSU is in the process of redesigning this corner ramp to widen it and allow access to the
west over the railroad tracks. We are now showing this ramp configuration along with the flare as
mentioned. Relocation of the MAX poles, pedestals, etc. are also now shown to be relocated. Final design
and coordination of the ramp and relocated appurtenances are to be finalized in the next couple of weeks.

11/27/2015: 17. From what I have gathered from conversations during
meetings is that the Mason Trail next to the building at the NW corner will likely
need to be reconstructed with the removal of the foundation and utilities that
exist and are associated with that building. The trail was built around the
window well and the utilities. The bollards around these obstacles can also be
removed when they are no longer needed. This need to be identified and noted
on the plans.
JVA Response: You are correct. The sidewalk in this area is currently heaving and needs to be replaced
under a warranty item from the MAX contractor. The CSU Medical Building contractor will coordinate the
efforts between the two contractors to determine limits and scope of work. We are calling out a note to
coordinate removal/replacement of sidewalk with MAX contractor. Another part of this area is the
reconstructed ramp as discussed above that will be a part of this project and responsibility of the Medical
Building contract.

11/27/2015: 18. The driveways need to be concrete to the property line in
accordance with the driveway details. Detail 707.1
JVA Response: The driveways are now shown to include concrete all the way to the back of the sidewalk.
Detail 707.1 has been added to the plans.

This plan set needs to only show the work that is to be approved by these plans
and constructed as a part of these plans. It is confusing to show the Prospect
Road improvements when we don't have that design yet and there are no notes
on these plans on where the improvements planned to be constructed with
these plans end. Examples: 1. sidewalk on College and on site — what portion
is to be built with these plans and how will it have an interim tie back into the
existing improvements. My understanding is the road work will not start until
2017, we can't have this sidewalk be out of use for 2 years. 2. The sewer
connection into the manhole in Prospect. What does this look like in the interim
and then with the future road improvements. The manhole will need to be reset
and probably change elevations. Also need to show the patching of the existing
street that will need to occur (street and sidewalk).
JVA Response: Prospect Road improvements are now completely separated from this project. The plans
now show all connections to existing conditions due to the above mentioned timing concerns. There is a
page added to the set showing the future Prospect Road improvements for reference only as requested by
the City at the December 1 Staff Review Meeting. A separate submittal that will include the Prospect Road
Improvements, and sidewalk along College, will be submitted under separate title to the City for review in
coordination with the City's proposed improvements for the intersection. Those plans will then include any
modifications to the utilities shown in the Medical Center drawings. The existing sidewalks along Prospect
and College are to remain intact and accessible throughout the project. Once improvements begin on
Prospect the rerouted sidewalks will be constructed.

11/27/2015: 12. The plans are showing that the handicap ramps at the MAX
station are to be replaced. Why do they need to be replaced?
JVA Response: The existing ramps are to remain and are now noted as such on the plans. On the north
ramp, we will remove the existing landscape retaining curb, widen the ramp the additional 4' and add a
new landscape retaining curb. The south ramp will remain as is with an additional winged style ramp added
on the east side to bring the bottom of the ramp up to sidewalk elevation within the "warp" of the new ramp.
Clearance around the new ramp will be provided, and the existing ramp will remain in the bike path.

11/27/2015: 13. The plans do not show enough detail as to what is happening
at the South end of the Mason Trail. The discussion was that the bike racks.
light and such would likely be moved and rearranged. Additional detail on all of
this is needed.
JVA Response: The bike racks and lights are now shown to be relocated per the demolition plan,
horizontal control plan and landscape plan. The bike racks are moving up towards Lake Street with the new
enclosed bike parking. The lights along the widened portion of the MAX trail are to be relocated behind the
new sidewalk. The existing sidewalk will remain, the Public Service Company sculpture will be relocated
east out of the new sidewalk.

11/27/2015: 9. How are you proposing to provide the road design? A full
separate plan set or will it be revisions to this plan set (revising approved
sheets to show the Prospect frontage improvements) and adding sheets as
needed?
