27. Several lots at the northwest end of Grosbeak Court are beyond the maximum of
660' from a single point of access for emergency access purposes. In this case
the starting point for the single point of access would be the intersection of
Grosbeak Court and Town Center Drive. The center of the cul-de-sac at the end
of Grosbeak Court is 770' from the intersection to the southeast.
This completes the review comments at this time. Additional comments may be
forthcoming as the various departments and reviewing agencies continue to review this
request.
Staff has determined that the project is not yet ready to go to the Planning and Zoning
Board for a decision due to outstanding issues. Another round of review is necessary.
When it is ready to go to the Board a date will be scheduled for a public hearing, which
would be held on the first or third Thursday of each month. There is a mandatory
minimum two week public notification period prior to the public hearing.
8. A copy of the comments received from Sheri Wamhoff of the Engineering
Department is attached to this comment letter. Also, red -lined plans, with
additional comments, are being forwarded to the applicant. Please contact Sheri,
at 221-6750, if you have questions about her comments.
The comments and concerns were expressed at the weekly staff review meeting of
June 23, 1999:
Engineering (Sheri Wamhoff)
9. Phasing is being shown on the Site & Landscape Plan but not on the utility
plans. These plans should be consistent with each other.
10. There is an existing 60' wide right-of-way for County Road 13. This road needs to
be a collector street. Additional right-of-way may be needed. City staff would like
to schedule a meeting with the applicant to discuss this issue. Some pieces of
right-of-way will need to be dedicated by separate document.
11. An updated traffic study is needed if one has not already been provided.
12. Whiting Oil Company will have to sign the subdivision plat and utility plans.
13. More work is needed on the internal and external street design.
14. More work is needed on the subdivision plat.
15. More work is needed on the utility plans.
16. This development proposal is not ready to be scheduled for a public hearing
based on the condition of the plans.
Stormwater (Glen Schlueter)
17. The required SWMM Run has not yet been done for this project.
18. The drainage report does not provide the necessary detailed sizing of pipes and
swales.
19. The drainage report does not say where the concentrated flow from Town Center
Drive goes.
20. Off -site easements are needed and they are not accounted for at this time.
21. Off -site flows are not yet taken into account. This is a repeat comment.
C. Show phasing lines on theLandscape Plan. A separate sheet is not
needed.
d. What is the proposed pedestrian/equestrian trail to be constructed of?
e. How do the residents of Lot 17 access their property in a vehicle? There is
approximately 30' of street frontage on Bateleur Court and there appears
to be a street tree near the middle portion of the lot. Will this obstruct the
access? Where will the driveway go?
Please contact Jenny, at 21-6760, if you have questions about these comments.
5. Kim Kreimeyer of the Natural Resources Planning Department offered the
following comments:
a. The native dryland grass mixture needs to be added to the Landscape
Plan. Natural Resources would like to check the list to make sure the mix
contains only native species.
b. The wetlands that were created with the First Filing as mitigation for
wetlands disturbed on this Second Filing must be shown on the Site and
Landscape Plans.
C. The wetlands must have a Preble's Meadow Jumping Mouse habitat
evaluation.
d. Limits of development, including proposed grading and construction, need
to be clearly delineated on the Site Plan.
Please contact Kim, at 221-6750, if you have questions about these comments.
6. Kathleen Reavis of the Transportation Planning Department stated that paved
bicycle/pedestrian connections should be provided from the street cul-de-sacs to
County Road 13. Please see the red -lined Site & Landscape Plan that is being
forwarded to the applicant. Please contact Kathleen, at 224-6140, if you have
questions about her comments.

Dear Tom,
rvices
Staff has reviewed your revisions for Hearthfire PUD, Second Filing - Final that were
submitted to the City on May 25, 1999, and would like to offer the following comments:
1. Gary Huett of Public Service Company of Colorado offered the following
comments:
a. Fences proposed to be installed in front lot utility easements behind
sidewalks (Typical Street Cross -Sections, Sheet 11 of the utility plans)
represent a serious conflict with maintenance of natural gas facilities.
These fences need either to be shifted to the rear line of these 9' wide
easements or eliminated.
b. No trees may be planted closer than 4' to any natural gas line.
2. Mike Spurgin of the Post Office stated that the applicant must make an alternate
selection for the proposed street name "Golden Eagle Court". This street name
has been previously selected in the Falcon Ridge PUD that is under construction
at the corner of Terry Lake Road and Country Club Road.
3. Lori Digliani of Police Services stated that the proposed street name "Golden
Eagle Court" must be changed. This would duplicate a current street name near
Terry Lake Road and Country Club Road.
4. Jenny Nuckols of the Zoning Department offered the following comments:
a. Please clean up the Landscape Plan. The topography lines should be
removed.
b. Include the note on the Landscape Plan regarding installation of
landscaping prior to issuance of CO's.
