Steve, I have enclosed copies of letters of response to each of the different referral departments for your
review. The original letters and revised plans were sent directly to the Departments from Jim Sell
Design or Shear Engineering. Also, I've enclosed 5 copies of the revised Final Site and Landscape Plan
for your review. Hopefully this addresses all concerns, but should you have any questions, please give
me a call.
Sincerely,

the planting schedule. An additional copy of the report is attached.
13. Parks Planning Department
a. The trail, park and open space tracts will remain in the ownership and
maintenance of the Homeowners' Association.
14. No response needed.
15. Oil Well Setback
a. Although the 150' setback restricts Lot 38, note #8 on the Site and Land-
scape Plan states: "Any building constructed on Lots 38, 51, 52 and 54
shall be constructed outside the 150' oil well setback limit." If a building
can be constructed on Lot 38 with this restriction, we do not feel it is
appropriate to restrict this lot any further.
16. Relocation of Hearthfire Way
a. Hearthfire Way was shifted to the central portion of the site through the
wetland area to make the road more compatible with the surrounding
neighborhood. After approval of the Preliminary P.U.D., all of the
residents adjacent to the east side of the road met with the developer and
asked to try to work out a more acceptable location for the alignment. The
road was then moved to the location as shown on the plan which was also
restricted from going much further west because of the setback requirements
from the oil well holding tank site.
b. Several meetings with the Natural Resources Department have taken place to
discuss the realignment. A mitigation plan has also been prepared and submitted
to the City.
c. The actual amount of disturbed wetlands is 1.25 acres. The mitigated area is
1.92 acres, a ratio of 1:1.53.
d. The Army Corps of Engineers have been to the site and a permit request has
been submitted to the Corp. This permit application is currently being reviewed
by Mr. Rex Fletcher of the Corps.
17. Water Quality and Wetlands Slopes
a. Any slopes which encroach into the wetlands were calculated in the total acreage
disturbed and will be mitigated at a minimum of 1:1.5.
b. An Urban Runoff Mitigation Plan was submitted to the City which addressed
the water quality effects.
18. Hearthfire Way Annexation
a. See Comment #1-b above.
19. Engineering Department
b. An additional copy of the traffic study is included.
c. The soils report has been revised an a copy is attached.
d. Because of the proximity of the wetlands and the impacts that a subdrain
system could have on these wetlands, no subdrain system is proposed.
d. Off site improvements for Douglas Road are being prepared by Shear
Engineering Corporation and will be submitted directly to the
Engineering Department.
e. Douglas Road improvements - See attached letter of November 25, 1996,
to Kerrie Ashbeck related to Street Construction Schedule
f. Discussions are taking place with affected property owners to secure any
necessary easements and R.O.W.

the Final Site and Landscape Plan.

5. ELCO Water District
a. The 20' wide utility easement has been shown on the Final Plat between
Lots 87 & 88.
b. The water main utility plans are in the process of being revised and will be
sent to ELCO by Shear Engineering for approval as soon as completed.
6. The comment made by Gloria T. Hice-Idler of the Colorado Department of
Transportation does not necessarily mean that intersection improvements of
Highway 1 and Douglas Road will be the responsibility of Hearthfire P.U.D.
with the Douglas Road Improvements plan. It simply reminds the City and the
County of their obligation in regard to this connection. The intersection improve-
ments may, or may not be triggered by the Hearthfire development.
Shear Engineering has discussed the status and the requirements for the intersec-
tion of Highway 1 and Douglas Road with Rex Bums at Larimer County and
Theresa Jones at the Colorado Department of Transportation. As we understand
it, a preliminary design has been prepared for the intersection improvements by
Stewart and Associates in association with a project called Terry Cove. Since the
design is only in a preliminary nature, final intersection design may be a requirement
of this project. This has not been decided at this time. We will provide status
reports of our future discussions with Larimer County and the Colorado Department
of Transportation. Theresa Jones is sending a copy of the preliminary intersection
design to Shear Engineering so that Douglas Road may be coordinated with the
intent of the intersection preliminary design.
7. U.S. Post Office
a. Blue Heron Court has been changed to Bald Eagle Court
8. Police Department
a. Richard's Lake Drive has been changed to Morningstar Way
b. Barn Swallow Way has been changed to Barn Swallow Circle.
(The existing Barn Swallow Circle has been eliminated.)
c. The street lighting plan was submitted and approved by Mr. Gary Diede
prior to approval of the Preliminary P.U.D. (a copy of this plan, attached).
9. Zoning Department
a. A revised note as agreed to by Peter Barnes and Tim Buchanan has been
added to the plan.
b. The minimum setback to the garage has been changed to 20'.
c. Signs have been shown on the community building elevations.
10. Building Inspection Department
d. All building code requirements and nonresidential energy code requirements
for the construction of the community buildings and swimming pool will be
met at the time these facilities are constructed. Any food service establish-
ments or child care facilities will receive approval by the Larimer County
Health Department at the time of building permit application.
11. Light and Power Department
a. The developer will work with Light & Power on an acceptable location for
providing service to the development.
12. Natural Resources Department
a. The Final Site and Landscape Plan label "mitigated wetlands" has been changed
to read "wetlands created for mitigation."

RE: Hearthfre P.U.D., First Filing - Final P.U.D.
Dear Steve:
The following letter addresses your comments and the referral agencies' comments as
noted in your letter of December 19, 1996.

3.
Latimer County Planning Division
a. Copies of both the Final Site and Landscape Plan and the Wetlands Mitigation
Report were sent to Rob Helmick to review. He is aware that the
developer has applied to the Army Corps of Engineers for the required
permit to construct the access road through the wetland area.
b. The R.O.W. annexation was discussed with Mr. Helmick. He is aware
that the R.O.W. will be annexed into the City after final approval. (See
attached letter of December 19, 1996, to Mr. Paul Echman from
Ms. Lucia Liley.) The balance of the property which is located in
Larimer County will be processed with an Amended Exemption per County
Regulations. (See attached letter of December 31, 1996, to Mr. Paul Echman
from Ms. Lucia Liley.)
Larimer County Engineering Department
a. Traffic Impact Report was submitted and reviewed.
b. An erosion control plan was submitted as part of the utility plans and
the measures will be in place during construction. Also, any storm
water runoff which is filtered through the wetlands will be dispersed
through the wetlands as discussed in the Urban Runoff Mitigation Plan
which was submitted to the City.
c. A complete pavement design will be completed per the City's regulations
by a licensed engineer at the time the road grading is completed. A copy
will be submitted to the County if requested.
Public Service Company
a. A 9' utility easement is shown on the utility plans for Hearthfire Way and
will be included in the deeded roadway.
A 15' utility easement is also shown on the utility plans for the south side
of Douglas Road. This will also be included in the dedication of the roadway.
Any required utility easements for C.R. 13 will be shown on the plat when
a Final P.U.D. is filed for Phase II.
b. The City's Street Standards adopted under Ordinance #97-1996, shows the
6' minimum fence setback on the residential local street section. This is the
street section which was shown on our plans. If there is a conflict with
Public Service Co.'s gas lines, we will revise our street sections, but we
