HomeMy WebLinkAboutUNION PLACE - PDP - 15-09 - CORRESPONDENCE - (11)[5/19/09] There are some off -site flows that pass through the site that are not be accounted
for. Please see the attached exhibit identifying these basins and flows. These off -site flows
need to be shown they can pass through the site safely.

[6/19/09] This information is adequate for a hearing. More detail can be submitted during
final compliance.
[5/22/09] The required volume can be reached with the area provided for the three separate
ponds. The ponds still need to be proven they can act as one hydraulically. This will require
some large culverts between these ponds which may conflict with existing utilities. There is
also a cost associated with these culverts as well. A meeting is needed to discuss these
issues and for everyone to be in agreement on expectations of capital costs for the regional
detention pond and maintenance responsibilities.
[4/24/09] Per the City's Master Plan for Dry Creek Basin, the required quantity detention for
this regional detention pond is 5.56 ac-ft. This volume is the total volume required, including
the detention for this site. The invert of the proposed outfall in the ultimate condition is also
known. The City needs to determine if the area proposed will be large enough to
accommodate this volume requirement. In determining if this area is large enough, the City
will follow its standard of 4:1 side slopes and 2% bottom slope. If the volume can not be met
with the area proposed by the applicant, the area might have to be enlarged. Other
options, including the use of drainage pans in the bottom of the pond or the use of retaining
walls, could be explored. These options would most likely come with an associated cost to
the applicant.
A meeting is advised to discuss these requirements and to coordinate.
Number: 76 Created: 4/24/2009
(6/19/09] The letter of intent is adequate for hearing. At final compliance, any required
construction easements will need to be completed.
[5/19/09]
[4/24/091 Permission from the Property Owner of the McDonalds site is required to make
the proposed changes to their detention pond. Before a hearing, a letter of intent from the
property owner is required.
Number: 77 Created: 4/24/2009
[6/19/091 This issue has been resolved with the ultimate regional detention pond high water
elevation being set at 4981.3. This will give us the required volume and allow for the area
north of the water line to function as a shallow conveyance area to pond N. Verification that
we have freeboard up to 4982.3 is still required before hearing.
[5/19/09]
[4/24/09] How is water proposed to convey from pond N1 to N2? This is where the Greeley
water line is located.
Number: 78 Created: 4/24/2009
[6/19/091 This can be resolved during final compliance.
[5/19/091
[4/24/09] The City and the design team need to discuss the side slopes for the bio-swales.
A slope of 4:1 is normally required, not 3:1. There could be maintenance concerns with a
slope of 3:1.
Number: 98 Created: 5/19/2009
[6/19/09] At final, the western flows can be verified where the true path is. This will
determine what alley cross-section can be used if the off -site flows still need to be conveyed
through the site.

[6/18/091 The variance request to change the street cross section from a 42 foot half ROW
to a 36 foot half ROW ending at the back of the parkway followed by a 8 foot sidewalk that
will be contained in a access/utility/drainage easement has been granted.
Number: 145 Created: 6/18/2009
[6/18/091 In the buildings that front Willox, will you have exterior doors that open onto the
walk? If so, the doors can not swing open and block any portion of the sidewalk. The doors
must be recessed as to not interfere with the walk.
Number: 146 Created: 6/18/2009
[6/18/09] The change in dwelling units will result in a change in the Transportation
Development Review Fees that was previously paid. Please submit the updated fee amount.

[6/22/09] Engineering is currently working with Nolte to come to a solution for the design of
Willox as the slopes are very minimal, therefore, I have not commented on the design on
Willox in this round.

Number: 118 Created: 5/22/2009
[6/17/09] After discussions with Emma and the applicants, if all the residential structures on
Urban Prairie Street Block 1, Lots 1-10 are equipped with an approved, automatic fire -
sprinkler system, the private drive/emergency access easement (Urban Prairie) can be
reduced to 16-18 feet of travel width for vehicular traffic. The fire sprinklers are required
because Urban Prairie is the only access to these properties (emergency responders
typically will not rely on alleys). The fire sprinklers are required regardless of the number of
dwellings per structure on those 10 lots (single family, duplex, triplex, etc).
VEHICLE ACCESS: Please contact me to discuss width of travel for vehicles on Urban
Prairie Street.

[6/18/09] The proposed retaining walls at the western edge of the property at the end of the

of intent from the adjacent property owner. Also, please clearly label the proposed wall on
both the utility plan as well as the site and landscape plan. Will any sort of bollards or
barricades be used to indicate the end of the drive?

(6/18/09] According to table 8-2 in LCUASS the Cedar Street entrance off of Willox must

be 15'. Any change to the LCUASS radii will require a variance through the engineering and

Topic: Architectural Elevations
Number: 53 Created: 4/22/2009
[6/15/09] Waiting on character drawings of tri-plex units.
[4/22/09] Will we get to review the architectural styles in the guideline books?
[5/19/09] What about the design of the mixed use buildings? Will they need to use the
design ideas in these books as well, even though the books are predominately single family
homes?

[6/15/09] Where will this be stated? Covenants?
[5/19/09] The ARC is the responsibility of Merten Design, correct? This development may
outlast Merten Design, what is the fall back, would review revert to the HOA?
Topic: circulation
Number: 129 Created: 5/27/2009
[6/15/09] ADA requires 36' accessible routes, but if the route is less than 5' there needs to
be passing spaces at least every 200'. Along Urban Prairie the sidewalk spans
approximately 250' without adequate turnaround/passing space. Current Planning and
Transportation Planning would suggest widening sidewalks through out the development to
preferably 5' or at a minimum 4.5'. 4.5' being the City standard width.
[5/27/09] A minimum of 4.5' sidewalks are recommended, but not required.

[6/16/09] Because the parkway was not updated, I'm not sure if the planting area in front of

[6/16/09] Landscape Plan does not meet the requirement set forth in Section 3.2.1(E)(2)(d)
Foundation Plantings. This requires "exposed sections of building walls that are in high -use
or high -visibility areas of the building exterior shall have planting beds at least 5' wide placed
directly along at least 50% of such walls." You have the option of adding these planting
