03/09/2016: Noticing that the response was to not provide a crossing with ped
refuge at the north leg of Webster and "International", I would perhaps want to chat
about this further with other City Transportation staff. I really suspect that the
landscaping here will become a goat path for pedestrians who would rather not
cross at the roundabout with additional traffic, or further north without the benefit of
the median.
01/13/2016: On Sheet C516 a couple of thoughts regarding access ramps:
- There's a ramp facing east on the south side of Cottage Drive and the minor
arterial. I don't believe this is needed, as there's a crossing and a receiving ramp
along the north leg of this intersection.
- The access ramps on the south side of the Duff Drive/minor arterial intersection
don't appear to align with each other across the minor arterial.
- I'm wondering if there's an opportunity and support for an access ramp on the
north leg of Webster Avenue/minor arterial intersection with a pedestrian refuge
island midway through the splitter island? Perhaps this crossing negate the need for
a crossing at the north side of the Cottage Drive/minor arterial intersection.

03/09/2016: The receiving ramp (without necessarily the sidewalk) should be built at
the northeast corner of Buckingham/realigned Lemay at this time. The response on
the second ramp (mid -block on Webster) indicates it was eliminated, but the plans
appear to still show it. It is expected that when an access ramp is provided (as
required) along an abutting public street, it is required that a receiving ramp across
the street is provided. Please ensure these are provided (again ramps only, not
sidewalk) on the north side of Webster to "receive" crossings from the south side.
01/13/2016: On Sheets C517 and C518 also pertaining to access ramps:
- Please ensure that at the southeast corner of the Buckingham-Duff/realigned
Lemay intersection that an access ramp is built heading north, with a receiving
access ramp at the northeast corner of this intersection. It would seem that this
could be built in the ultimate condition today within the limits of the curb and gutter
section for Buckingham -Duff.
- The mid -block receiving access ramp on the north side of Buckingham -Duff
doesn't appear to align with the access ramp/sidewalk on the south side.
- The plans should indicate that the aforementioned receiving ramps along the
north side of Buckingham -Duff being built now. The sidewalk on the north side isn't
required with this project, (but can be built with this project) -- in its current iteration it
is confusing to discern what is being built along the north side.
- Sheet C518 should be showing at least the receiving access ramps along the
north side of the Buckingham-Duff/minor arterial intersection. Sidewalk again along
the north side isn't required, but would be nice; what is to be built north of the curb
and gutter along the north side should be clarified.

03/09/2016: This response indicates this was revised accordingly, but I see no
change to the profile view.
01/13/2016: On the plan and profile sheets, please ensure that the profile lines use
a heavier lineweight for the 0 and 5 foot elevations, it's difficult to verify elevations
without the variation of lineweight at the major intervals.

03/09/2016: This area being underneath concrete still has very minimal cover and
needs further refinement. Either a realignment of the water line, or a lowering needs
to occur.
01/13/2016: Sheet ST4's Storm Drain Line 3-3 has less than 2 feet of cover over
the top of the roadway and is about 1.5 feet at its shallowest. While this area
appears to be a concrete roadway, I'm concerned that at 1.5 feet, we may have
depth concerns.

03/09/2016: This area being underneath asphalt and a foot of cover is problematic.
Either a realignment of the water line, or a lowering needs to occur.
01/13/2016: Sheet ST4's Storm Drain Line 5 has at its shallowest about 1 foot of
cover over the top of the roadway. I'm wondering if a waterline lowering should be
explored here (and in other locations as it pertains to some of the other shallow
crossing noted above).

03/09/2016: This will be brought up with Capital Projects for their
verification/consideration.
01/13/2016: Sheet ST5's Future Storm Drain Line 7 appears to be situated to have
less than the minimum cover required (showing less than 2 feet), again due in part
to maintaining 18" of clearance from an existing water line.

03/09/2016: The revised drawings appear to better address the issue and will be
brought up with Capital Projects as an FYI.
01/13/2016: Sheet ST5's Storm Drain Line 8 shows less than the minimum cover
required, and in general is the existing storm pipe that this line ties into, problematic
with its elevation in relation to Lemay Avenue? Existing ground is higher than
proposed as depicted on the profile view, with a cut occurring, though C502 shows
a fill instead of a cut in this area. Is there a profile for this existing line shown in
relation to finished grade along Lemay Avenue? C502 should be depicting this pipe
under the roadway and illustrate whether the pipe itself is problematic with the
ultimate Lemay improvements.

03/09/2016: I'm understanding that part of the confusion on this water line is the
potential that it will be turned over from the City to Elco. Perhaps at staff review we
can re-engage on this discussion with City water and decide if Elco needs to be
brought into the discussion.
01/13/2016: In general, it appears that much of the previous comments pertain to
conflicts with existing water lines (and potentially an existing storm line as well).
Given the reworking of Lincoln that will occur with the project, and the reworking of
Lemay in the future, presumably by the City, I would be curious to understand
whether some of the existing utility infrastructure should be modified and/or
relocated, since the corresponding roadways will have similar realignment, which
could better allow compliance with street standard cover requirements.

03/09/2016: This looks to meet the cover now for the crossing at
"International"/Duff. The crossing at Webster is still short, but would appear to be
under concrete. Is there a way to define the concrete limit on C312 to provide more
definitive proof that the shallow crossing here will be under concrete?
01/13/2016: Sheet ST1 shows the 48" RCP having less than the minimum cover
needed across Webster Avenue, with a depth of less than 2'. If the concern is
maintaining the 18" from the water line, perhaps twin pipes and/or and elliptical pipe
can be explored to get additional cover from Webster.

03/09/2016: The run-on area for the porous paver system is over the manufacturer
recommended maximum by double. The concern is the maintenance and
sustainability of these pavement systems may be compromised the the additional
loading.
Also, the sub -basins that drain onto the porous pavement may need some altering
which may help reduce the run-on area. It appears that some of the roof tops that
are planned to drain over the pavement system may not drain that way per the

correct and also remove the redundant "the buffer zone", which comes after "the
Natural Habitat Buffer Zone". The Natural Habitat Buffer Zone (NHBZ) will be
referred to in the Development Agreement and will be used for purposes of the DA,
future inspections, and for evaluating the overall establishment of the wetland and
buffer; therefore, it should be labeled consistently and clearly on all plans.
01/11/2016: On all plans showing the mitigation wetland and associated buffer,

03/09/2016: We've received comments from the business property owners to the
east (who have also contacted Larimer County, being not in City limits) regarding
construction build -out of the project. They are looking to have the following occur
with the construction of the project:
"A barrier installed at the ends of Webster and Duff (and Link if necessary)
prohibiting vehicle and pedestrian access through the FCBA subdivision. Perhaps a
4' orange fence across that entire area would work."
"No Construction Access"sign installed at Lincoln and Link."
The City is OK with their requests and would want to verify if the Developer is
amenable to these items, and their placing in the development agreement. Larimer
County Engineering has indicated support of the items listed above as well, and with
the second item occurring outside City limits, they are OK with the following input:
"County is fine with a "No Construction Access"sign being installed at Lincoln and
Link, We would expect the Developer to install it. The sign should conform to
MUTCD requirements and mounting posts need to meet break away requirements.
They should also be required to obtain utility locates before installing the posts.
We would not require it to be on plans. But if City requires it to be on the plans, it is
not necessary for me to sign the sheet.
Any questions at the time of installation can be directed to Bill Gleiforst, Larimer
County Traffic Operations Manager at (970) 498-5707.
There are no County permits required for the installation. "

the amount of sidewalk added on the south side of Lincoln Avenue could be reduced

03/09/2016: In reference to #225, on needing left and right flowline profiles, please
consider how information on Sheet C915 coordinates with C508 for coordination of
"International" road design information. C508 shows centerline, left and right profiles,
C915 provides a centerline profile. The termination of the centerline on C508 is at
STA 12+39.45, there's a matchline on C915 at 12+38.91, where the plans don't
seem to coincide. There isn't corresponding information on the Wilson set that I'm
able to find that shows how the left and right flowline profiles of Northern's on C508
are tied into. Can the two sets show some overlap of each other's information to
partially address this, in addition to getting left/right profiles on Wilson's design? On

go away is intended to do so.
01/13/2016: The placement of rain gardens within utility easements behind the
right-of-way does not constitute Engineering approval for its placement, though the
slope and material type immediately behind the public street sidewalks need to be
verified for being gradual, and not a "hole" or with rough media behind the walk. I
would question the implications on the integrity of the rain gardens being maintained
over time with any utility installation work occurring in the future within the general

03/09/2016: Related to the previous comment, this additional information will help
provide further clarity on the right-of-way vacation that has been proposed. In looking
at past submittals of the legal description for this right-of-way vacation, it's apparent
that the area to be vacated has shrunk over time as the roundabout design has been
further refined. The 5/7/2014 legal had 3,578 square feet proposed for vacation, the
12/9/2014 legal had 918 square feet, and now the 2/19/2016 legal has 601 square
feet. Seeing that area defined on Wilson's plans with the corresponding
plat/right-of-way/lot line information provided in the previous comment will help
finalize the approach on potential right-of-way vacation, but it's perhaps worth noting
that the overall area has been reduced by a factor of almost 6 over time. I would
perhaps then question whether the 601 square feet at this point is worth pursuing a
right-of-way vacation, since the area isn't buildable and would encompass a utility
easement any way -- would the time for two readings before Council prior to plat and
plan recordings make the effort worth it?

right-of-way or within a grading easement. Is a grading easement specifically being
identified as the grading plans don't appear to depict an easement. The grades
within right-of-way are not meeting at least a 4:1 slope however and would need to
be revised (which would likely then require the grading easement). The cross
section at 31+50 again shows the need for some sort of grading easement from the
property owner to the east.
01/13/2016: The cross sections for Duff Drive show grading past the platted
right-of-way for Duff Drive along the north and would require an offsite grading
easement. Note that the right-of-way from STA 27+50 on is not depicted for the

03/09/2016: With the spot elevations not provided, some general concerns:
On the west leg of Duff and International (C516) along Duff, the flowline grades
shown on the spot elevations do not coincide with the plan and profile deisgn
(grades of 5% and 20% when the plan and profile show in the .5 to 2% range,)
Flowline grades shown on International's spot elevations also do not match the
International flowline plan and profile (2.3% instead of .6%).
Along Lincoln in front of South Clubhouse Drive the grades within the flowine are at
.3% below the .5%, similarly along International at Cottage Drive, flowline grades fall
below .5%
There appear to be exceed of 2% cross slope for ADA at access ramps, such as
crossing Webster at International, also at Cottage Drive at International, and the
midblock private drive at Duff Drive.
01/1312016: Intersection spot elevations are needed for the public streets
intersections in accordance with Figure 7-27 and 7-28 of LCUASS.
