Please install and complete walkway connections at various locations on the development (see red lines).
Including connections out to Timberline and Drake Roads, which provide direct pedestrian access to the
neighborhood commercial center on the SE comer of Drake and Timberline.
FOLLOW-UP COMMENT (3-19-03): Two walkway connections still need to be accommodated. A connection
from the walkway near Bldg B-1 out to the Timberline sidewalk, which may require a bridge or sunken culvert.
Please use GK Gymnastics on south Timberline just south of Horsetooth as an.example. The other walkway
connects Centre Street through the large parking area to Timberline and the future bus stop (see red lines).
Number: 129 Created: 11/6/2002
Directional access ramps are required at all intersections. Please refer to the LCUASS for design specifications.
FOLLOW-UP COMMENT (3-19-03) The following intersections need to be depicted with directional access
ramps for the utility and site plans. Drake and Sagebrush intersection should have directional ramps that lead
north to south and east to west, contact Traffic Ops for crosswalk treatment measures. Both Mansion Pkwy and
the Buell Drive intersection with Timberline should be designed as north to south access ramps only. the Circle
Drive and timberline intersection should have east to west ramps and north to south ramps.
Number: 130 Created: 11/6/2002
Increase the width of the Drake Road sidewalk to 8 foot minimum from Sagebrush St. west to the Platte River
Valley regional trail just west of the Union Pacific railroad tracks.
FOLLOW-UP COMMENT (3-19-03): Please label this section of walk as 8 feet on all plan sets to clarify any
possible discrepancies.
Number: 258 Created: 3/24/2003
No need to stripe crosswalks on local residential streets unless in a high ped / vehicle traffic area, such as

Please review the location of the proposed handicap parking stalls to ensure that there is a convenient
accessbile route to the entrance of the residences. This may require the installation of a walkway or access
ramp.
Topic: Street Design
Number: 113 Created: 11/6/2002
To improve the safety and operation of the proposed traffic circle provide instructional signage on how to
navigate the circle for drivers and cyclists as they enter the circle. FOLLOW-UP COMMENT (3-19-03): Consider
signage that lets cyclists and motorists know the bike lane is ending as you approach and go through the
roundabout. Within the MUTCD are signs that state -'Bike Lane Ends" and "Share the Road". These signs
together would instruct motorists and cyclists that they'll need to yield to one another as they navigate the
roundabout.
Number: 116 Created: 11/6/2002
Additional access ramps are required at locations throughout the proposed development, a meeting is suggested
with Transportation Planning, Engineering, and current Planning to help identify these locations.
FOLLOW-UP COMMENT (3-19-03): Please add another ramp and crosswalk at Mansion Pkwy and Mansion
Circle that leads directly to the neighborhood center (see red lines). Relocate the ramps on Temple Street to lead
directly to the neighborhood center and remove the ramp on the west of the Temple in front of Lot 34. Driveways
if designed to ADA standards can serve as the access ramp. If designing the driveway to ADA standards is not
possible than maintain the ramps as proposed.
Number: 118 Created: 11/6/2002
The design of Circle Drive at the Timberline intersection does not accurately reflect the necessary width (ROW)
to accommodate the design for the turn lanes that are called for in the Transportation Impact Study (TIS). Within
the TIS a dedicated left turn lane is required and a combined through lane and right turn lane is required, for both
the short term and long term.
FOLLOW-UP COMMENT (3-19-03): Additional roadway width will most likely be required at the intersection of
Circle Drive and Timberline. The proposed street design that drops the bike lanes on Circle Drive prior to the
intersection is not acceptable. The bike lanes are required to be carried to the intersection in order to align with
the bike lanes east of Timberline. Please correct for the next submittal.
Number: 119 'Created: 11/6/2002
Since no neighborhood trail system is being proposed, include bike lanes on Circle Drive from Timberline west to
the traffic circle then southward on Sagebrush St. to Drake Road.
FOLLOW-UP COMMENT (3-19-03): Please see comment # 118.
Number: 120 Created: 11/6/2002
Sagebrush Street should be designed to include traffic calming features to keep vehicular speeds down and not
encourage cut through traffic from the future employment and industrial land uses to the north. In addition, to the
traffic circle, and the street off set consider neckdowns, or curb extensions (bulb outs), especially at
intersections.
FOLLOW-UP COMMENT (3-19-03): With the agreed upon cross section for Sagebrush (2 - T park, 2 - 4' bike, 2
- 10' travel) traffic calming measures may not be necessary as long as the street is striped to reflect the cross
section. A centerline to distinguish northbound and southbound travel is highly recommended. This striping plan
is also recommended for Circle Drive, except for the transition for the left turn lane at Timberline and the
roundabout.
Number: 121 Created: 11/6/2002
For next submittal please provide a striping and signing plan for Drake Road, Sagebrush Street, and Circle Drive.
FOLLOW-UP COMMENT (3-19-03): The signage and striping plan will be needed prior to final compliance to
ensure that all travel and bike lanes can be adequately accommodated in the proposed roadway.
Number: 122 Created: 11/6/2002
Since bike lanes will be added to Sagebrush St. and Circle Drive, please provide a street design detail on how
the bike lanes are planned to be carried through the Circle Drive / Timberline intersection, as well as how the
bike lanes will transition from a connecter with parking to a local residential street without bike lanes around the
recreation center.

Please revise intersection detail spot elevations per redlines.
Number: 296 Created: 4/3/2003
The City is concerned with the temproary swale that takes flows from phase 1. to the detention pond. This swale
has a slope from .5 to 1%. Normally when swales are under 2%, the City requires a concrete pan to help
maintain grade and prohibit ponding along the swale path. If future phases are not built for a long time, or ever,
than this swale would default to be a permanent feature. Please investigate piping the low flows or adding a
concrete pan to this Swale. The pipe can be a low grade, inexpensive plastic or other pipe approved by the City.
Number: 297 Created: 4/3/2003
In some areas lots are draining through others that are not adjacent to one another. In these cases, drainage
easements are required on the lots where water flows from these other lots. Please provide easements for thes
locations.
Number: 298 Created: 4/3/2003
Where water flows from the back of the west lots onto railroad property, a drainage easement or equivalent is
needed from the railroad company. The City understands how it can be difficult obtaining an easement from
railroad property. If an easement is not obtainable, the railroad company does have a system which it grants
permission, but not formally an easement. Please inquire about obtaining this permission due to an increase of
flow, although small, onto railroad property.
Number: 299 Created: 4/3/2003
Some additional spot elevations are needed to determine spillway crests and low points at inlets. Specifically,
see sheet CS 263 along with the other grading sheets.
Number: 300 Created: 4/3/2003
Please clarify the grading around Pond E. The grading seems to show that the pond does not have the required
capacity. See sheet CS 264.
Number: 301 Created: 4/3/2003
Please see comments on the plat regarding additional areas needed for drainage easements.
Number: 302 . Created: 4/3/2003
Please see comments on the landscape plan regarding separation between storm sewers and trees.
Topic: Erosion/Sediment Control
Number: 303 Created: 4/3/2003
1. The table of contents indicates the erosion control report begins on page 16, that isn't correct.
2. Please provide erosion/sediment control plan calculations including PS, EFF and surety.
3. Delete the Larimer County Urban Street Standards notes on erosion control.
4. You added a note to the City Standard Erosion Control Notes that the stream will be pumped around the
construction of the channel - where is this, I don't recall ever seeing a stream on this property?
5. Inlet filters are of gravel, not straw bales.
6. Please add a note to the plan that all disturbed areas will be seeded and mulched (per your report).

Topic: Drainage
Number: 134 Created: 11/6/2002
The grading plans show overlot grading and are not detailed grading plans. With the scale used (1"=50'),
detailed grading could not be legible enough to read. Please increase the plan scale and provide detailed
grading plans showing drainage around all mulitfamily buildings and single-family building footprints.
Repeat Comment 3/26/03 - Please provide better detail for the single family lots showing building
footprints. The grading plan should clearly show if a lot is Type A or B, with high points Identified.
Please provide more spot elevations around multi -family buildings as well to clarify grading.
Number: 181 Created: 11/13/2002
Please provide a signature block on the plans for the owner of the irrigation ditch. Even though the ditch is not
owned by a ditch company, the plans still need approval for the modifications. Repeat Comment 3/26103 -
Signatures of approval need to be on the plans before the signing of mylars.
Number: 182 Created: 11/13/2002
Please provide cross -lot drainage easements along the lot lines for the drainage that enters the site along the
west property boundary. Repeat Comment 3/26/03 - In looking at the grading along the west boundary,
there Is definitely some areas where the drainage will flow through the lots. In the areas where drainage
will be trapped in the railroad right-of-way, these easements are not needed If the flow is quantified and
proven that It will not flow out the railroad property.
Number: 185 Created: 11/13/2002 .
At the southwest comer of the site there is existing offsite drainage that is being cutt-off with the proposed on -site
.grading. (See grading plan) Please provide positive outfall for these off -site flows. Repeat Comment 3/26/03 -
The grading around the south end of the site is higher than some of the lots just to the north. If flows
were to spill from the railroad property, it would travel through these lots, which would require drainage
easements. If It is shown that these flows stay within the railroad property during a 100-year storm, as
stated in comment 182, than no easements would be required.
Number: 187 Created: 11/13/2002
Please provide spot elevations for the top of berm and wier crest of the detention ponds to better clarify grading
and.freeboard requirements. Repeat Comment 3/26/03 - A note referencing the detail is adequate for Pond

"Extent reasonably feasible shall mean that, under the circumstances, reasonable efforts have been undertaken
to comply with the regulation, that the costs of compliance clearly outweigh the potential benefits to the public or
would unreasonably burden the proposed project, and reasonable steps have been undertaken to minimize any
potential harm or adverse impacts resulting from noncompliance with the regulation." It has not been

111/13/02] Street Tree Placement. Water and sewer lines are shown on the landscape plan, but are not
coordinated with the locations of street trees. Many street trees are shown on top of water and sewer lines, or
shown closer than minimum separation requirements would allow. The Water/Wastewater Department typically
requires 10 feet separation, but has been flexible in the past to allow an 8 foot separation of a tree from a water
or sewer line. Driveways are, not shown, and will greatly affect street tree placement for the single family lots.
Electric and gas service lines will also affect the layout. A specific utility coordination meeting will be required for
the single family lots. Staff will not recommend approval of this layout if the utilities, driveways, and street trees
won't all fit along the proposed lot frontages. Street trees are very important to the City, and cannot be treated as
an afterthought, and the adequate spacing of the street trees cannot be compromised in order to achieve proper
utility spacing. It appears that the proposed single family lots do not have enough street frontage to accomplish
this. The single family lots appear to be in need of being widened and/or vehicular access is in need of having

alternative location. Another issue is that many of the street tree locations (in the parkway on a lot line) proposed
will conflict with the location where Light and Power typically locates transformers. Coordinate with Light and
Power on transformer locations and revise the landscape plan to reflect this information and locate trees
accordingly. Show us that it can work, because I'm still not convinced, given the transformer location conflict.
[11/12/021 Single Family Lot widths are a problem as proposed. Block 1 lots 3, 4, 8, 9, 14, 15, 19, 20, 25, 26,
39, 40, 44, & 45 all have less than 50 feet of street frontage. Additionally, many of the lots have exactly 50 feet
of street frontage. Although it's likely that cable TV and phone could be served from the rear of the lot, the water,
sewer, gas, and electric service lines will be competing with each other for space along the lot's frontage and
competing with other elements such as a driveways, and street trees . Vehicular access from the rear of the lots
(such as alleys or rear loaded private drives) would help reduce one front yard element needing space along the
front of the single family lots. A successful cordination of utilities, driveways, and street trees must be
demonstrated before staff could support the widths of single family lots proposed. Water and sewer service lines
must be located exactly 10 feet apart from one another. Trees must be provided at 30 to 40 foot spacing
intervals or one tree per lot along that frontage. Trees must be separated from water and sewer lines and
driveways. Gas and electric can't be joint trenched, and also have separation requirements from each other and
other utilities and trees. Water and sewer service lines can't be located under driveways. City staff has wrestled
with this issue quite a bit in the last 4 years. We've tried some compromises that have worked and some that
have not worked. After much consideration from the planning perspective and the utility provider's perspective,
we have concluded that it is not possible to serve 50 foot wide and narrower lots when a front loaded driveway is
also being proposed. It is your responsibility to show us that the utilities can serve the lots without compromising
the required street tree spacing. We have not figured out a way to accomplish this unless the front loaded
driveway is taken out of the mix. We are not likely to recommend approval of the layout unless and until this
utility/driveway/tree coordination is worked out. Two possible solutions come to mind. The first is to make the
narrow lots have rear drives or alleys for vehicular access, or the second is to widen the single family lots wide
enough to accomodate all the elements that need to go in the lot frontage.

[3/28/03] Current Planning suggests that several outdoor staircases be included in the design as an
enhancement feature to the small neighborhood park west of the pool. See the attached sketch from Current
Planning. It is still necessary to provide an enlargement of this park/clubhouse block (as previously requested)
that shows enough detail to clarify that this standard is being met.
[11/13/021 Small Neighborhood Park. In order to meet the "small neighborhood park" standard in LUC 4.4(D)(7)
the "park w/ clubhouse" block needs to consist of multiple -use turf areas, walking paths, plazas, pavilions, picnic
tables, benches or other features for various age groups to enjoy. Provide an enlargement of this
park/clubhouse block that shows enough detail to show that this standard is being met.

[3/28/03] Even though the parking for this clubhouse complex has been reconfigured, the comment still stands.
On -street parallel parking may be a viable solution, but it would require a modification, which staff would likely
support.
] Recreational uses in residential zone districts have minimum parking requirements. Section
)(f) requires that the recreational use associated with the clubhouse complex provide at least 1 space
;ons maximum rated capacity. Please clarify the size of this this recreation use and determine (by
ng with our Building Inspection Department) what its maximum rated capacity is. Only then can it be

[3/19/031 The City and the development team still need to coordinate the details of how this comment will be .
resolved. Perhaps a mutually agreeable solution could be addressed in the development agreement. Staff's
preferred solution would be to work out a fee collection program whereby a "per dwelling unit" fee for all units in
Mansion Park would be deposited into an account that the City can use at a future date for the design and
construction of an 8 foot wide bicycle/pedestrian path connection to from the northwest portion of the site
ultimately to the Spring Creek Trail. Redevelopable properties north of Mansion Park will be required to make
their on -site continuations of the path through their sites if and when they redevelop. This fee would be collected
in order to provide the path connection for the portion of the path that would be adjacent to the power substation.
This is a critical link between the existing Spring Creek Trail and the potentially redevelopable property just south
of the power substation. It is likely that the path would need to be located within the Union Pacific right of way,
but along the outside edge of the railroad right of way. In addition to any design and construction costs of this
portion of path, this fee could potentially pay for any cost the railroad may want to charge for a long-term lease or
pedestrain access easement across their property.
[11/11/021 Section 3.2.2(C)(7) states: "Off -Site Access to Pedestrian and Bicycle Destinations. Off -site
pedestrian or bicycle facility improvements may be required in order to comply with the requirements of Section
3.2.2(E)(1) (Parking Lot Layout) and Section 3.6.4 (Transportation Level of Service Requirements)." Additionally,
Section 3.4.6(B) states: 'All development plans shall adequately provide vehicular, pedestrian and bicycle
facilities necessary to maintain the adopted transportation Level of Service standards contained in Part II of the
City of Fort Collins Multi -modal Transportation Level of Service Manual for the following modes of travel: motor
vehicle, bicycle and pedestrian. The Transit LOS standards contained in Part II of the Multi -modal Transportation
Manual will not be applied for the purposes of this Section." The LOS standards for bicycles and pedestrians, as
described in Part II of the Multi -modal Transportation Manual, require that some sort of connection be made to
link the northwest comer of Mansion Park to the destinations on the other side of the railroad tracks.
Acknowledging that a pedestrian/bicycle overpass or underpass of the Union Pacific Railroad is not possible due
to physical constraints, an alternative method needs to be provided to connect northwest bound bikes and
pedestrians (originating from Mansion Park) to the destinations such as Edora Park, the Spring Creek Trail,
EPIC, and the Union Pacific/Platte River Power Authority trail that runs along the west side of the tracks. A
solution to this issue would be to assess a "per dwelling -unit" fee for all units in Mansion Park which would be
deposited into an account that the City can use at a future date for the construction of an 8 foot wide connection
to the Spring Creek Trail. This process can be specified in the Development Agreement between the City and
the Developer. The amount of this fee will need to be negotiated between the developer, the Engineering
Department, the Transportation Planning Department, and the Current Planning Department. This fee would be
used specifically to obtain right-of-way and construct an 8 foot trail across Union Pacific right-of-way adjacent to
the power substation (which is located several properties to the north of the Mansion Park property). The
properties between the electirc substation and Mansion Park will be responsible to continue this
pedestrian/bicycle connection through thier properties at such time that those properties develop or redevelop.
