07/02/2018: Storm Sewer Plan - I'm questioning many of the callouts on the

these cleanouts or other? grated tops or solid? why are you calling out for an
area inlet at the curb in the parking lot? The type C inlet in the rain garden
seems like overkill; it would be best to minimize the amount of pipes coming
into the rain garden to also minimize the amount of forebays that need to be
constructed.

07/02/2018: The utility plans seem to indicate permeable pavers along the row
of parking on the south side of the building but the plans don't say anything
about them. The site plan refers to the civil plans for permeable pavement
design. If you are proposing to use the pavers for LID treatment then this needs
to be analyzed and discussed in the drainage report. If not, a detail of how they
are to be constructed still need to be provided along with an underdrain design.

OA response: The bike trail to the south of the ponds will serve as the emergency spillway where excess
volume will overtop the trail and discharge directly into the Cache La Poudre River. The overflow weir is
designed to be wide enough to minimize the velocities so that rip -rap protection will not be necessary.

07/02/2018: Grading Plan - the courtyard grading plan indicates a swale with
2:1 side slopes and a point discharge toward the sidewalk. Max allowable
cross -slopes are 4:1 and I don't think you want to put planters on 4:1 slopes. In
addition, the point discharge needs to be at a location where a sidewalk chase
can be installed.

07/02/2018: Grading Plan - the courtyard grading plan also indicates some
cross slopes less than the 2% minimum. Perhaps a swale needs to be graded
in or something of that nature. The site plan shows this area as artificial turf so
I'm wondering if this is permeable and if so, what is the subgrade material?
Does I need an underdrain?

Clean up items:
(1) Texas Red Oak does not appear to be shown on the landscape plans
(LP401). It might be incorrectly labeled as a GTI.
RMS Response: Tree label is corrected.
Only (5) MSS are shown on the landscape plan, instead of 8. Please identify the
remaining (3) MSS on the plans.
RMS Response: Symbols for MSS and SRE were very similar. They were updated to be more distinct.
Three trees at the end of the garage were mislabeled as SRE when they were MSS.
There are currently two different labels for the Honeylocust — GTI and GTR.
Please show all Honeylocust with the label GTI as they are shown in the plant
list.
RMS Response: All labels updated to GTI.
The Honeylocust shown in the right-of-way along Lincoln Ave is missing a label.

07/06/2018: UPDATED DIRECTION FROM REBECCA EVERETTE: Within

feet apart. A few tree locations may need to be adjusted to accommodate this
separation.
RMS Response: Trees shown minimum of 18' o.c.
7/3/2018:
Please space Cottonwoods at least 30 feet, as some are currently positioned
less than 20 feet apart. This is too close for such a large maturing shade tree.
