A slope of 4:1 is normally required, not 3:1. There could be maintenance concerns with a slope of 3:1. Number:97 Created:5/19/2009 Pending [5/19/09] An independent study was conducted and confirmed that the area proposed for detention will detain the required 5.65 acre-feet. However, the design needs to prove the detention ponds can be connected hydraulically and act as one pond. Please show that all three ponds can be connected and will act as one pond. Number:98 Created:5/19/2009 Pending [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.

This may lead to discussions regarding the need for sewer in Mason. Department: Stormwater-Water-Wastewater Issue Contact: Wes Lamarque Topic: Stormwater Contact: (970)416-2418, w1amarc1ueAfc4ov.com Number:74 Created:4/24/2009 Unresolved [4/24/09] Water quality mitigation needs to be quantified to make sure the drainage can be treated per the Urban Drain Manual before the project can go to a hearing. To simplify things, the design can assume all water quality mitigation will take place in the detention pond in the form of extended detention. During final compliance, any other treatments that are proposed would reduce the water quality volume required in the detention pond. The Urban Drainage Manual is the document used to determine how much credit will be given for using LID and the other water quality mitigation techniques included in the manual. Number:75 Created:4/24/2009 Pending (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 it's 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 Pending [5/19/09] [4/24/09] 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 Pending [5/19/09] [4/24/09] How is water proposed to convey from pond N1 to N2?

On Sheet 2 of the plat, the easement should be 15 feet on the south side of the sewer and as close to 10 feet as possible (Can we get at least 8 minimum?) on the north side. On Sheet 3 of the plat, the easement should be 30 feet (i.e. 15 feet on each side of the sewer).

Number:106 Created:5/20/2009 Pending [5/20/09] There is a big missing sidewalk patch along Willox. This is the square area, it should read like it does on the Landscape plan. Number:107 Created:5/20/2009 Pending [5/20/09] Between Lot 1 and 2 of Block 4, Code requires you to have at least 28' between building faces, per 3.2.2(L)*. You are meeting this requirement where the building foot prints are, but the building envelope goes to the rear property line. I just want to make you aware of this requirement if things on the site plan change.

Also, just a reminder, commercial uses will be limited to those listed as subject to a type 1 hearing. If a use is proposed that is not on that list, it will need to go through a major amendment.

Current Planning 281 North College Avenue PO Box 580 Fort Collins, CO 80522 970.221.6750 970.224.6134 - fax kgov. com/currentplanning May 27, 2009 Donna Merten Rob Ross Merten Inc. 55 South 32nd Street Boulder, CO 80305 Dear Donna and Rob, The attached are comments from City Staff concerning the request for Union Place, which was presented before Staff Review on May 20, 2009. This is a proposal for a mixed use development on 10.91 acres, consisting of 8 single-family homes, 20 duplex units, 38 condominiums and 14 mixed -use units. Forty-six (58%) units are planned to become permanently affordable. The proposal also includes the use of geothermal technology as the primary energy source for the entire development. The Urban Renewal Authority (URA) has approved $2.2 million in tax increment financing to assist the developer with the multiple public improvements on and off site. The site is located south of West Willox Lane approximately 400 feet west of North College Avenue. This site has been designated as the location of a regional detention pond, which will consume approximately 2 acres of the lot. The entire site is in the Service Commercial (CS) zone district. Due to the recent information from Engineering regarding the denial of a variance request, vacating a utility easement along Willox Lane, staff is asking for a third round of review due to the changes this could have on the overall plan. Please make revisions per staffs comments prior to the next submittal. If you have questions regarding any comments please get in touch with the contact that raised the particular issue.
