Department: Water Wastewater Issue Contact: Jeff Hill Topic: Utility Plans Number: 13 Created: 11 /25/2003 [11/25/03] A sanitary sewer main was installed on the north side of the existing 16- inch water main a short time ago. Field locate this new sanitary sewer main, show and label it on the utility plans. Due to the proximity of the sewer main to the water main, restrain all joints and fitting on the proposed water main. Provide restrained joint length calculations for our review. The new sewer line is shown on the plans and is south of the existing 16" waterline. Number: 14 Created: 11/25/2003 [11/25/03] The existing 16-inch water main is a cathodically protected (C.P.) water main. Include a note to install a C.P. isolation connection at the tap and include the standard general detail. The detail and note have been added to the plans. Number: 15 Created: 11 /25/2003 [11/25/03] Is a 1-inch water service adequate for this size of building and lot area? Will an irrigation tap be needed? The service is now 1.5" upsized to 2" past the meter. No irrigation tap is proposed. Page 6 elevations at same locations as proposed spot elevations. Please call to discuss other options. A cut and fill map has been added to the back of the drainage report so that design cuts can be seen. Adding this information to the construction plans would be confusing to the contractor and surveyor. 2. A no -rise certification is required because of the work being done in the floodway. This must be completed by a registered professional engineer. This certification should take into account the landscaping including plantings, parking areas, detention ponds, bike paths, etc. The certification is included in the drainage report. 3. Please. include a detail with a cross-section of the bike path to make sure the contractor understands that there must be excavation in order to place the base and asphalt, so as to not have fill in the floodway. The detail requested has been added. 4. As -built elevations in the floodway will need to be certified as part of the drainage certification to certify that there was no fill placed in the floodway. A note has been added to the plans — elevations will be surveyed with the drainage certification for the site. 5. Phase 2 of the building is right at the edge of the floodway. There needs to be room to provide slope away from the building without placing fill in the floodway. The southwest corner of the building will need to be pulled back away from the floodway. It is acknowledged by the owner that when Phase 2 is built, the south foundation wall will need to extend to existing ground and no fill will be allowed in the floodway. 6. Please add a note to the plans (Sheet 5) and to the drainage report addressing the requirement that no floatable materials are allowed to be stored overnight in the floodplain without being secured. Please include a note that all picnic tables, chairs, benches in the floodplain will be bolted. Also note that any overnight parking must be outside of the floodplain.

Contact Natural Resources for more information. Revegetation and restoration will occur around the drainage area as previously discussed. Land Use Code 3.4.1 (G)(2) (2) Streambank Stabilization. When the Stormwater Master Plans and the Storm Drainage Design Criteria and Construction Standards of the city require streambank stabilization, native vegetation shall be utilized for such purpose, and engineered stabilization techniques such as exposed rip rap shall be avoided, to the maximum extent feasible. The use of native vegetation shall be the principal means of streambank stabilization, and the use of rip -rap for streambank stabilization shall be restricted to locations where the use of vegetation techniques is not reasonably feasible. Acknowledged. Department: Stormwater Utility Issue Contact: Wes Lamarque Topic: Drainage Number: 11 Created: 11 /25/2003 Please revise water quality outlet structure detail as redlined on sheet 7. Per a conversation with Wes, the outlet structure remains flat topped. Number: 12 Created: 11 /25/2003 Please provide 10 feet of separation between the outfall storm sewer for the pond and the trees. The required separation is provided. Topic: Floodplain Number: 17 Created: 11/25/2003 1. There is a lot of work being done in the floodway. The lack of existing detailed topo makes it difficult to ensure that there is no fill being placed in the floodway, as required by the Poudre River floodplain regulations. Please provide better existing topographic data. Suggest providing existing spot Page 4 Topic: Utility Plans Number: 6 Created: 11 /25/2003 [11/25/03] See redlined utility plans. from Natural Resources.

The applicant shall propose, and the Director shall establish on the project development plan, a "limits of development" ("LOD") line(s) to establish the boundary of the project outside of which no land disturbance activities will occur during the construction of the project. The purpose of the LOD lines shall be to protect natural habitats and features and their associated buffer zones from inadvertent damage during site construction activities. The location of the LOD shall be designed to presence significant ecological characteristics of the affected natural habitat or feature that could not reasonably be restored if disturbed by construction activities associated with the project. The LOD shall also be designed to accommodate the practical needs of approved construction activity in terms of ingress and egress to the developed project and necessary staging and operational areas. The Limits of Development are shown on all plan sheets. Number: 7 Created: 11 /25/2003 11/25/03] Add a note to the General Notes page of the Utility Plans stating that the orange construction fencing will be required along the L.O.D. and include a construction detail on the Details sheet of the Utility Plans.
