08/14/2015: By moving the transformer location across the drive, it will mean a
lot more re -work of existing secondary services which will add cost.
06/26/2015: The existing electric vault shown to be removed on the demolition
plan is actually a pad mount transformer. This transformer will be needed to
provide power to some of the buildings. Owner will need to coordinate a new
transformer location within 10' of an asphalt/concrete surface and all existing
secondary will need to be extended and re -pulled.

08/14/2015: The location shown for the new electric line on the South side of
the drive does not meet clearance requirements from the sanitary sewer. The
utility plan shows about a 4' seperation from sewer which is not enough. 10' of
clearance is the standard with a 7' minimum in extreme cases.
06/26/2015: Contact Light & Power Engineering @ 970-221-6700 to
coordinate locations for electric lines. Electric lines are shown going in back lot.
Light & Power does front lot installations. With the smaller private drive it may
be difficult to fit all of the utilities in the easement.

applicant to meet the total area buffer requirements. Initially, we had discussed
a permanent easement for this area for the landscaping and associated
maintenance. Recent discussions with Stormwater have led us away from this
idea and instead we would like to see the applicant establish and maintain the
landscaping for a period of at least three years until it reaches an agreed upon
level of success, at which point the continued maintenance will be turned over to
Stormwater.

07/15/2015: Please see notes on landscape plan for buffer area to the south.
Suggestions include: 1.) activating the western spur with chokecherry, plums, as
well as possibly Twinberry honeysuckle and thimbleberry 2.) Avoid shading
shrubs and other plants with cottonwoods - chokecherry o.k. 3.) Move junipers
up away from the wetland edge and move moisture -loving plants down 4.)
Cluster rabbitbrush, snowberry, sumac and juniper to create and informal edge
with some gaps/view sheds 5.) Don't shade rabbitbrush 6.) currant,
chokecherry, and plum in the moisture transition area and move cottonwoods
closer to edge of wetland

07/15/2015: As for buffer enhancement plantings on Stormwater property: 1.)
Do not plant trees and shrubs in a line but cluster appropriately for the plants
moisture/shade requirements and to allow for mowing and maintenance 2.) Do
not plant cottonwoods and plums together, nor junipers and cottonwoods
together 3.) Cluster juniper with rabbitbrush, as well as possibly red osier
dogwood, sand cherry 4.) Instead of rabbitbrush in the northwest comer of this
area along edge, suggest wood's rose, snowberry and/or shrubby cinquefoil

Add this information at the end of note 17 addressing irrigation and
maintenance of the buffer area.
The establishment and maintenance period may be extended past 3 years by
the City to ensure the required level of establishment has occurred. Prior to the
area being turned over for maintenance to Stormwater the development shall
contact City representatives from Stormwater, Forestry and Environmental
Planning for a site inspection. The level of establishment must be approved by
the City prior to the maintenance being transferred to Stormwater. All shade and
evergreen trees need to be in place and established.
07/16/2015:
Provide irrigation to trees and shrubs in the Buffer Enhancement Zone. Irrigation
to the trees and shrubs will be need until plants are established, which can be 5
years or more. Specify the length of time irrigation will be provided. Provide a
