encl.
E. Cablevision:
TCI of Fort Collins would like to see all side easements shown labeled as six (6) foot utility
easements.
F. Light and Power:
See attached comments.
G. Poudre Fire Authority:
1. Two (2) fire hydrants will be required at or near the entrances.
2. The two duplexes labeled GG where the seven buildings are located at the south end of the
project are shown as fire sprinklered but DO meet Fire Department Access requirements and,
thus, would not be required to be fire sprinklered.
3. All access roadways must be an all-weather driving surface capable of supporting fire apparatus.
Surfaces may be asphalt, concrete, or compacted road base. Surface criteria may be obtained
from the City or County Engineering Departments.
4. The private drive must be signed "Fire Lane No Parking." The twenty-eight (28') foot private
drive must be signed to prevent parking on one side.
H. US West:
1. The landscape plan still shows decks extending into the utility easement along the south property
line. This conflict with use for utilities is unacceptable to U S West.
2. U S West requires a utility easement at the southwest corner of Lot 24 for access across the
drainage easement into Lot 24.
I. Police:
1. Please consider building address locations and visibility. Easily readable addresses enhance
emergency response times significantly.
J. Mapping and Drafting (plat -related comments):
1. Please show Lemay Avenue dedication - reception number.
2. The plat needs a vicinity map.
3. Please describe the control monuments.
4. The dedication statement does not call the plat a PUD; this must be done.
5. The document that vacates the r.o.w. in Lot 1 should be listed on this plat.
6. Please label Tract A as "utility, drainage, and public access easement."
t,
K. Please add the following note to the Plant Notes section: "Replacement of landscape elements
needed due to utility development and/or maintenance will be at the developer's expense."
ELEVATION COMMENTS - - -
A. Please submit final elevation drawings.
B. Please provide a fencing detail as well as a development I.D. sign detail.
IV. - - - COMMENTS FROM OTHER REVIEWING DEPARTMENTS ---
A. Engineering:
1. See attached comments.
B. Parks:
1. Park fees will vary according to square footage of buildings, and will be assessed at the time of
building permit issuance.
2. Jerry Brown came across some language that the developers at Southridge put into their sales
contracts. We feel that similar language would be appropriate for this project, and would like to
see it placed in the General Notes of the site plan. The language is as follows:
It is hereby understood that the Greens at Collindale PUD is a
separate entity from Collindale Golf Course and is in no way affiliated
with membership of the golf course, which is presently owned and
operated by the City of Fort Collins. The City hereby expressly
disclaims any present or future liability arising from the above
described property's proximity to said golf course and related golfing
activities, and the homeowner accepts and assumes any and all risks
for future damage or injury that homeowner or their guests on the
above -described property may suffer on account of such proximity.
According to the Title transfer agreement (judgement and decree) that was written up and signed
when the property was sold to Landsource, the City must grant an easement for the sanitary
sewer lines through the golf course property, provided Landsource or their successors "shall pay
for the reasonable cost of such easement, shall construct all improvements and facilities within
such easement according to the design specifications of the City of Fort Collins and shall further
bear all costs of construction of said improvement, as well as all costs of restoration and repair
of any City property damaged by said construction." This agreement will need to be worked out
with Jerry Brown of the Parks and Recreation Department.
C. Zoning:
1. Building envelopes are suggested over footprints on the site plan. This must be corrected.
2. Please place a bike rack on the site plan, perhaps near the perpendicular parking area(s).
3. The setbacks note on Land Use Breakdown should say "minimum unless otherwise noted. This
to address situations such as the fact that it says 14' minimum from east property line, but it shows
an I P setback for Lot 7.
D. Building Inspection:
1. See attached comments.
3. Please remove general notes numbers 10, 11, and 12 altogether. These notes do not apply
because these plans are the Final submittal.
4. Please add a note stipulating that "All private drives contain public access easements."
5. Please remove note #9 as note #1 covers the same information. By the way, "plat" is spelled with
one "C'
6. The parking count in the Land Use Breakdown shows 29 on street stalls. I count just 25. Please
double-check your count and, if necessary, correct it.
H. - - - LANDSCAPE PLAN COMMENTS ---
A. The landscape plan does not match the site plan. Please read note 916 and ensure that it is being
adhered to. For instance, the decks on the south side of the structures on Lots 19-24 are shown
to extend further to the south than they do on the site plan. On the landscape plan, these decks
are shown to clearly encroach upon the easements. This will need to be adjusted.
B. The deck on the east side of the structure on Lot 17 is shown to extend beyond the property line
and into the detention pond. This must be corrected.
C. The hammer -head turn -around between Lots 16 and 17 is shown to be in the detention pond.
This situation will not work and must be corrected.
D. Please label all trees along the south property line in a manner that will stipulate that they are to
be trees with a minimum caliper of three inches (3"), in accordance with note #15.
E. At the hammer -head turn -around between Lots 24 and 25 (along Lemay), please fill in the gaps
between the shrubs in order to make this row of shrubs a continuous screen between Lemay and
the turn -around. Also, please change these shrubs to a taller species than Scandia Juniper, such
as Mugo Pine, Blue Star Juniper, Old Gold Juniper, Pfitzer Juniper, Pfitzer Compact Juniper, or
similar.
F. In a similar vein to comment "E" above, please screen the northwest corner of the three -car
parking area adjacent to Lot 25. The parking area across the street from Lots 3 and 4 needs to
be screed from the Lemay Avenue right-of-way with a continuous row of 3-4 foot tall evergreen
shrubs.
G. Please place as many service lines in the drives and driveways as possible. Also, please put the
meter pits and curb stops on landscaped areas and maintain the minimum separation distances,
as stipulated in note #14.
H. The water line shown in front of Lots 1; 2, and 3 must be in the street. It is currently shown
under the parkway strips. Please adjust this accordingly.
I. Please revise note #10 to read as follows: "Any changes in plant locations and/or overall
quantities required by site conditions during construction will be prohibited unless such changes
have been reviewed and approved by the City of Fort Collins."
J. Please remove note #11 altogether. It conflicts with note #10.

Dear Bob,
Staff has reviewed your submittal for the Greens at Collindale P.U.D., Final (#8-96A) and offers the
following comments:
1. - - - SITE PLAN COMMENTS - - -
A. Plan Comments:
Please make sure that no easements are encroached upon (anywhere on the plans), and that no
portion of any structure extends beyond its designated building envelope. A few entry areas and
decks appear to be encroaching upon easements; for instance,
► The patio/deck on the south side of the building on Lot 27 is encroaching upon the
landscape easement;
► The courtyard/entry area on the west side of the building on Lot 24 encroaches upon a
utility and drainage easement;
► The entryways/courtyards on the front sides of the building on Lots 9 and 10 appear to
be encroaching upon the front lot utility and drainage easement;
► The deck on the east side of the building on Lot 17 appears to be encroaching upon the
utility and drainage easement, and extending beyond the designated building envelope;
► Other areas that appear to be encroaching upon easements include the northwestern
corner of the building on Lot 25; both entryway courtyards on the building on Lots 25
and 26; and, the entryway courtyards of the buildings on Lots 14, and 18-23.
2. Fort Collins Light and Power does not install streetlights on private streets. Please revise general
note #8 accordingly. Also, to the extent possible, please indicate the proposed locations of all
privately installed street lights.
