FROM: Mr. Terry W. Farrill, Systems Engineer �?� DATE: June 29, 1995 RE: Registry Ridge PUD Preliminary/ODP The Fort Collins - Loveland Water District and the South Fort Collins Sanitation District have reviewed the above mentioned project and submits the following comments. CThe District will require a hydraulic master plan for the development as shown in the ODP. The District is in discussions with the developer and the Developer's engineer regarding off site sanitary sewer improvements that will be required for the development. Please do not hesitate to contact me at 226-3104 if you have any questions or require additional information. xc: Mr. Mike DiTullio Registry Ridge PUD July 12A 1995 Page 2 3. The need for left turn lanes on Shields is more based on an interruption of through traffic or accident history than by volume. Unless this was provided by the Developer or the City it is unlikely that the improvements would be made in the near future. The LOS A rating for through traffic on Shields indicates that the through traffic is not being significantly impaired or delayed by the turning vehicles at this intersection. The safety issues of an increasing volume of left turns from Shields could be partially mitigated by reducing the speed limit on Shields to reduce the differential speeds of through and turning vehicles. 4. For purposes of determining the amount of impact the development will have on this area it would be informative if the background only conditions were run. This would permit the identification of significant impacts due primarily to the new development as opposed to impacts caused by the anticipated background traffic volumes. 5. The background traffic volumes should include some effect of the McKee Trust to the south. It is not clear if this was the case or not. Thank you for the opportunity to comment on this proposal. Sincerely, C &Zx rLU- Elaine W. Spencer T Director of Engineering c: Matt Delich A Commitment to Progress Engineering Department (970) 498-5700 FAX (970) 498-7986 Post Office Box 1190 Fort Collins, Colorado 80522-1190 Director of Engineering Elaine W. Spencer July 12, 1995 City of Fort Collins Planning PO Box 580 Fort Collins, CO 80522-0580 RE: REGISTRY RIDGE PUD This proposal has been reviewed by this office and the following comments are submitted. This development will add. significant traffic to Shields and Trilby in this area. Traffic is increasing on both roadways and particular attention needs to be paid to the Trilby/Shields intersection and to Shields Street north of Trilby to Clarendon Hills. Shields Street north of this proposal does not meet current urban standards and should be improved. The intersection should be signalized with this development if it meets warrants. Latimer County is not in a position to signalize this intersection unless funds are made available through the North Front Range Transportation and Air Quality Planning Council (NFRT&AQPC). Construction drawings for improvements to Shields and Trilby should be submitted to this office for review. The following items relate specifically to the traffic report. Any questions regarding these comments should be addressed to Brian Fraaken at 498-5718. 1. In reviewing the existing count data with the future background traffic volumes it appears that there are several questionable future background traffic volumes. Specifically, the northbound AM right turns from Shields to Trilby decrease from 1995 to 2000, and no growth in background traffic (1995 vs 2015) is shown for the AM eastbound left turns as well as PM northbound left turns and southbound right turns. It is unlikely that there will be no growth (or decrease) in any background turning movement volumes at this intersection. 2. In reviewing the site traffic at the intersection of Shields and Trilby it is evident that there are several errors in routing the site traffic volumes through the intersection from/to the site accesses. These errors are up to 70 vehicles in the peak hour (for instance the site traffic entering the intersection for the Short Range Afternoon Peak Hour Traffic from the south is 70 vehicles less than the sum of the site traffic routed through the North Road access point). Due to the large number of these errors and the potential for them to affect critical movements through the intersection the results shown in the intersection analyses may not be valid. Site traffic in 2015 is shown as static or decreasing from 2000 on the AM peak southbound right turn and the westbound through movements as well as the PM peak southbound right turn and eastbound left turns. As the site traffic volumes are to increase significantly from 2000 to 2015 it is not likely these turning movements would not increase too.

Plat Off -site drainage easements, for the release of any greater than historic flows from the site, must be secured prior to final P & Z. Please add a drainage easement between lots 173 & 172, 421 & 422, and 285 & 286. A drainage easement will be required for pond # 503. Provide drainage easements for the proposed interception swales along the south border of the site and along the east side of lots 159-169. ti There are several locations of cross lot flow. This type of grading is strongly discouraged because the grading presents localized drainage problems for downstream lots. Please adjust grading to prevent cross lot flow. Please show grading for overflow swales at all locations of storm sewers between lots. These overflow swales should be provided for the case of inlet clogging. i ',The gradingof the tract M swale does not appear to direct flow around lot 352. Please 4&Just th6:gading of this channel to direct flow to the culvert under Bon Homme Richard Drive without impacting lot 352. Please show location of all existing wetland areas. Will there be any grading near the wetlands? Drainage Plan The storm sewer sizing for the pipe under Ranger Dr. from conveyance element 79 used 234.5 cfs. What about drainage from the on -site areas of basin 406? Design point 39 has a Q100=288.4cfs. Please size the pipe according to this design flow. - The grading of basin 405D does not show drainage to the inlets. The storm sewer and inlet analysis used a 3.1 cfs. The peak runoff of 405D is 9.1 cfs. Please place the inlet to allow drainage to the inlet, and design the inlet and storm sewer using a flow of 9.1 cfs. The inlet analysis for Van Wright Court requires a 10' inlet. Please show this inlet on the drainage plans. Please label the 15' curb inlet on the northwest side of Bon Homme Richard Dr. between King Tang, and label the 60" RCP storm sewer at this location. The plans show a 10' inlet at Bon Homme Richard and Enterprise Ct. However, the inlet analysis requires a 15' inlet at this location. Please show the required inlet size. The west inlet of the north end of Kearsarge Rd. has contributing basins of 405B and 405A. Please include the discharge from basin 405A to the inlet and storm sewer analysis. It appears that there should be a curb opening in basin 401D to allow drainage to 404E, and ' there should be curb opening 406P. Please show more details and temporary grading of the temporary access road of basin 406S. Please provide sizing calculations for the culvert under this road. Will the proposed 36" culvert handle design point 50 discharge? Please label the type and size bf the storm sewer exiting design point 5. The curb inlet at this location should be a 5' inlet.

Sincerely, NEcha Ludwig Project Planner xc: Kerrie Ashbeck Stormwater Utility file/Project Planner 10. 11 12. The Engineering Department offers the following comments: / Please indicate R.O.W. widths on the Site/Landscape Plan sheets and on the Plat. bl/ Odd shaped cul-de-sacs need to be discussed with Staff. C. The Phase I Environmental Site Assessment is for the wrong property. Attached are additional comments from the City Engineering Department that pertain to the Traffic Report, Site Plan, Plat, and Utility Plans and which must be addressed. The Planning Department offers the following comments: VZ All documents should reference "Registry Ridge PUD, Preliminary" (e.g., Site Access Study is for DALCO PUD). Please number the Preliminary Site/Landscape Plan sheets "SHEET 1 OF 3", "SHEET 2 OF 3 ", and "SHEET 3 OF 3". Please re-evaluate the name of "Barb Court". del Please rotate the vicinity map so that it corresponds with the north arrow and add the scale of the vicinity map. Please add the Site Plan scale to each sheet. Are any elevations of possible houses, community facilities available? The number of parking spaces should reflect two garage parking spaces or two L/ driveway parking spaces per unit for a total of 1,022 parking spaces. Two cars parked in the garage would be blocked by two cars in the driveway. Tract designations on the Site/Landscape Plan sheets should correspond to Tract designations on the Overall Development Plan. Please add notes which state "future access" at areas where streets are stubbed to the west property line. The Stormwater Utility Department offers the following comments: a. Downstream easements are needed if the stormwater release in more than historic. b. The applicant must work with the Natural Resources Department regarding wetlands, transition areas, and water quality. Additional comments from the Stormwater Utility are attached. t, l 5. The Mapping Department offers the following comments: E. Wahoo Court and West Wahoo Court should both be just Wahoo Court. li./ S. Kearsarge Court and N. Kearsarge Court should both be just Kearsarge Court. i< S. King Court and N. King Court should both be just King Court. 6. The Water Conservation Specialist offers the following comments: 7 _ The landscape plan shall contain a general note calling for the review and approval by the City of Fort Collins of any required landscape irrigation system, prior to the issuance of a building permit. (+� The landscape plan shall include the'total area (in square feet) for each landscape category. Landscape categories are distinguished by their water requirements and intended maintenance level. Examples of possible categories include, but are not limited to, high water turfgrass, low water turfgrass, low water planting beds, moderate water planting beds, and non -plant areas (paved areas, etc.) Please refer to page 4 of the "Water Conservation Standards for Landscapes" for further guidance. 7. In addition to O.D.P. Comment 4, the Natural Resources Department offers the following comments: a. Do not use smooth brome or crested wheat grass in seed mixes. Both are exotic, pest / species (very invasive). iv Use a short/mid grass, native prairie mix, not tall grass. Short mid/grass is native to this site and will need less maintenance and will do better. Include species list on final plan. Also specify on plan that only native species (to F.C. UGA) will be used in open spaces. Consider adding native flowers as well (e.g., blue flax, coneflower). List each species that will be planted and that any changes to the mix/plants will only take place if approved by the Natural Resources Department. — 8 A letter dated July 12, 1995 from Elaine Spencer of the Larimer County Engineering Department is attached to this comment letter. There are several traffic study issues which must be addressed. 9. The City Forester offers the following comments: Medians (rotaries) at intersections appear to cause severe site visibility problems (SEE /� ALSO ODP COMMENT #8 AND ENGINEERING COMMENTS). UStreet trees at regular spacing need to be shown along Trilby Road. Preliminary P.U.D. Columbine Cablevision will need additional easements. These areas have been highlighted on plans which will be forwarded with the Engineering Departments comments. In addition, they would like to see the open spaces marked as open space and utility easement on the plat map. These areas have been marked in blue on the plans. ` UU S WEST offers the following comments: a. Review of these plans should not be construed as a commitment that telephone facilities sufficient to serve this project are presently available. U S WEST will provide telephone service in accordance with the rates and tariffs on file with the Colorado Public Utilities Commission. b. The developer is responsible for provision of all trench, street crossings, and ditch crossings for telephone facilities within the project, and the developer pays up front construction costs for facilities within the development. C. Telephone facilities generally occupy rear lot utility easements, which must be located on terrain which permits trenching operations. This plat should be changed to show rear lot utility easements for rear lot distribution cable. d. A 15' by 30' easement for three large telephone equipment cabinets would be required in the general vicinity of the west central part of the project. All open space tracts should be described as utility easements. U S WEST would require a usable utility easement along the south side of Trilby Road. e. The utility.plans do not show existing telephone cables, so we are unable to determine how these plans might affect them. Any relocation of existing telephone facilities required by these plans will be paid for by the developer. 1,1 Please add the legal description to the Plat. 4. The Poudre Fire Authority offers the following comments: a� England Court is to similar in name to an already existing English Court and must be changed. b/ Fire hydrants must be located within 400' of all dwelling units capable of 1,000 g.p.m. with 20 p.s.i.. residual pressure. c! The minimum turning radius for fire apparatus is 20' inside and 40' outside. e. J d. The applicant must demonstrate that the construction of road and fire access will not negatively affect wetlands. Neither road is needed if the O.D.P. is in compliance with the Plan for the Region Between Loveland and Fort Collins. e. The applicant must submit a survey of the wetland to determine the presence of Ute Ladies Tresses Orchid (Federal Threatened Plant). The February plant study is not adequate as it needs a better plant species list, etc. f. It is "o.k." with the Natural Resources Department, in fact preferred, to remove all Siberian Elm trees on the property (e.g., clump around buildings on Phase 6(A)). 5. The applicant must submit a letter from the Thompson Valley District that states their intent to purchase and build on the proposed school site (Parcel M. A secondary use should be listed on the O.D.P. for this parcel. 6. The Parks Department offers the following comments: a. The Neighborhood Park as shown is in a major drainage channel for the entire project and is unsuitable for the Parks Department's purposes. b. The 1988 Parks and Recreation Master Plan is currently being updated and initial findings indicate that this square mile of the City will not support a neighborhood park at 7.5+ acres. Based on density the park site for this area should be between 3-5 acres. C. If a site -is selected in this development, it should be out of any major drainage channel, located with adequate street frontage and be located adjacent to the school site, so that parking can be shared. d. At this time the Parks Department will not commit to locating a park in this development, although some amenities could be included. The neighborhood parks in this square mile and in the next square mile to the east, will be determined when a school site is confirmed. 7. The proposed street "rotaries" are a new concept for which the City has no standards. Is landscaping planned in the middle? How would this effect sight distance? The applicant should discuss this concept with staff and submit appropriate documentation to justify its safety and functioning capability. 8. The Fort Collins - Loveland Water District and the South Fort Collins Sanitation District will require a hydraulic master plan for the development shown in the O.D.P. Comm -ty Planning and Environment., Current i-ianning City of Fort Collins July 17, 1995 DALCO Land, LLC c/o Jim Sell Design Inc. 117 E. Mountain Avenue Fort Collins, CO 80524 Dear Jim, -ervices Staff has reviewed your documents for the Registry Ridge O.D.P. and Preliminary P.U.D., that were submitted on June 19, 1995, and would like to offer the following comments: Overall Development Plan: 1. The Poudre Fire Authority states that "fire access roads must be provided with year round hard surface,. marked and maintained." 2. U.S. West Communications states: "Review of these plans should not be construed as a commitment that telephone facilities sufficient to serve this project are presently available. U.S. West will provide telephone service in accordance with the rates and tariffs on file with the Colorado Public Utilities Commission." 3. The Light and Power Utility Department will need to build about 3/4 mile of duct band from the railroad tracks on the east side of Shields Street, west to the site. Although this won't be an additional expense to the developer, the L&P Utility will need extra time to complete the job. 4. The Natural Resources Department states the following comments: a. Phase 5(L) is not in compliance with the Plan for the Region Between Loveland and Fort Collins which was adopted by the City Council. This area is shown as proposed open space in the Corridor Plan. b. The acreage within the 100-year floodplain should all be in open space, not proposed lots. C. A 150-foot buffer area should be maintained between wetlands and lots. The buffer area should be part of the natural open space. 281 North College Avenue • P.O.
