11. This proposed development will not be required to complete
Automation Way to the south of Big Horn Drive.
12. Does the irrigation on this site contribute to the existing
wetlands in the area?
13. Storm drainage comments are as follows:
a) The outfall system seems convoluted. More discussion is
needed on the outfall system and field verification is
needed for the pipe size and grade of the outfall.
b) There is question as to whether the information provided
for this request is sufficient for a combined Preliminary
& Final decision at this time. It is possible that this
request could .go the Planning and Zoning Board for
preliminary approval only in October.
14. Where is the electric transformer and gas meter to be placed?
They should not be located along Timberline Road.
15. Is there to be any fencing, other than the "screen walls", on
or around this site?.
16. The spelling of the word "exents" (relating to the wetlands)
on the Site Plan should be corrected.
17. The Signature Block on the ,Site Plan seems to relate to a
Special Review process in the City of Loveland. The standard
.Owner's Certification,, Attorney's Certification or Notary
Public signature block, and Planning and Zoning Board
Certification for the City of Fort .Collins must be included on
this plan.
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. Please be aware
of the following dates and deadlines to assure your ability to stay
on schedule for the October 24, 1994 Planning and Zoning Board
hearing:
******************************************************************

4. The proposed building is over the 5,000 square foot limit and
must be either fire sprinkled or fire contained into areas
less than 5,000 square feet in size.
5. The Engineering Department has the following comments to offer
concerning the utility plans and subdivision plat:
a) The Timberline Road improvements must be shown.
b) The irrigation pipe over the water line must be encased
in concrete if the water line is within 18" below the
irrigation pipe.
c) Owners of the irrigation ditch need to sign off on the
subdivision plat and utility plans that show the pipe.
d) The property boundary has some directional errors and an
error in the horizontal curve at the northeast corner of
Lot 3.
e) The Point of Beginning should be shown.
Please contact Kerrie Ashbeck or Sheri Wamhoff, at 221-6750,
if you have questions about these engineering comments.
6. The street trees along Timberline road are spaced at 651. They
should be placed every 40' on -center.
7. In grading and landscaping the detention area, native trees,
shrubs, and grasses: should be used (wildflowers are OK, too).
Undesirable trees/shrubs such as Russian Olive should be
removed.
8. City Council has adopted ordinance #76, 1994 implementing part
of the City's Water Demand Management Policy. The ordinance
establishes water conservation standards for the design and
installation of landscapes and irrigation systems. All
applications, beginning with the August 22, 1994 submittals
for the October Planning and Zoning Board public hearing will
need to address the new requirements. These regulations apply
to all commercial, industrial, public, and residential "common
area" landscapes and their associated irrigation systems.
Copies of the comment sheets from Jim Clark, the City's Water
Conservation Specialist, are enclosed with this letter.
9. The 20' building envelope setback from the east property line,
along Timberline Road, is too close. The distance should be
increased to 301. Berming in this area would enhance the
buffering to the arterial street.
10. Fire access to this site appears to be very tight. Does this
proposal meet the minimum 150' access distance required by the
Poudre Fire Authority? Are the necessary fire hydrants in
place in this area?
