11. A copy of the comment sheet for water conservation standards
for landscaping is attached to this letter.
12. The proposed fence along South Shields Street should be moved
to the west side of the 15' wide utility easement (as shown on
the Site Plan) to allow for a wider, visually nicer
streetscape, thereby avoiding a tunnel effect of fence,
sidewalk, and a row of trees all in a 15' wide strip
immediately adjacent to the street.
13. There appears to be a discrepancy between the Site Plan and
the subdivision plat, which identifies a blanket utility,
drainage, and landscaping easement in Tracts D and E.
14. The following comments were received from the City Forester:
a. Please add to Plant Note #8:
The median in Belleview Drive to be maintained by the
Homeowner's Association.
b. Native cottonwoods, Plains and Lanceleaf, are preferred
over the hybrid Cottonwoods such as Siouxland that are
being proposed on the Landscape Plan.
15. A sidewalk connection (a minimum of 6' in width) between the
east end of Belleview Drive and South Shields Street should be
included. A meandering walk with additional landscaping
(preferably evergreen trees) is suggested.
16. Where will the 10' access easement for a pedestrian path
connection (in the southwest corner) enter the Ridge
development? The dedicated street right-of-way in the Ridge
should be identified on the Site and Landscape Plans. If the
path is only 6' to 8' wide, what will happen on either side of
the path, outside of private lots ... i.e.: treatment,
maintenance?
17. Tract G should be identified on the Site Plan. Also, it should
be identified, along with the nature of it, on the Landscape
Plan.
18. The 3' high berm in the island in Belleview Drive should be
labeled as such on the Site Plan.
19. A copy of the comments received from the Stormwater Utility is
attached to this letter. There apparently is some doubt as to
whether this item. will be able to stay on the May 22, 1995
Planning and Zoning Board agenda due to significant storm
drainage concerns.
5. The following comments were received from the Zoning
Department:
a. Note #13 on the Landscape Plan is not acceptable. The
City Code and the Land Development Guidance System
require all landscaping in, or a letter of credit, prior
to any certificate of occupancy. There is no way to allow
60% of units in any phase prior to installation of
landscaping or letter of credit.
b. The Zoning Department will not issue a certificate of
occupancy until all landscaping in each phase is in, or
a letter of credit is provided, even if this note fails
to get changed on the Landscape Plan.
6. A copy of the comments received from the Building Inspection
Department is attached to this letter.
7. The Mapping/surveying Department has asked that you please
show the Point of Beginning on the subdivision plat.
8. The following comments were received from the Light & Power
Department:
a. Installation of L & P facilities needs to be coordinated
with the construction of the box culvert.
b. Locations of some water service lines may need to be
adjusted to allow for power vaults and streetlights. This
must be done prior to construction of the water lines!
C. A utility must continue across Tract G along Belleview
Drive or Tract G must also be a utility easement.
d. Streetlights along South Shields Street are shown on a
marked copy of the Landscape Plan that is enclosed with
this letter. The street tree locations must be adjusted
to provide a minimum of 40' separation between trees and
streetlights.
9. A copy of the comments received from the Engineering
Department is attached'to this letter.
10. The following comments were received from the Natural
Resources Division:.
a. They would like to see the proposed native grass mix for
the open space areas specified on the Landscape Plan.
b. Cottonwoods, or other native riparian tree and shrub
species, would be more appropriate for planting along the
canal than the proposed Ponderosa Pines.

Dear Mark:
Staff has reviewed your documents for the Westbury P.U.D., Filing
Two - Final that were submitted to the City on March 20, 1995 and
would like to offer the following comments:
1. Public Service Company has stated that the subdivision plat
needs to dedicate 9' wide utility easements adjacent to street
rights -of -way across Tracts A. B, C, and G. A 4" sleeve is
needed in the bridge across the Pleasant Valley & Lake Canal
for a gas line.
2. A copy of the comments received from U.S. West is attached to
this letter.
3. The following comments were received from the Pleasant Valley
& Lake Canal Company:
a. If the location of the Westbury P.U.D., Filing Two -
Final is as indicated on the Vicinity Map, then any
effect on the PV & L Canal ditch would only pertain to
the Trilby Lateral ..... (Planning Dept.,question - Isn't
the Trilby Lateral further to the south, in the Thayer's
Cottonwood Ridge development/property? What is the
impact?).
b. The PV & L Canal Company would have concerns if they
intend to realign the ditch and drain water into it .....
(Planning Dept. question - Is there not a proposed
realignment of a section of the ditch in the area between
Lots 37, 39, 40 and 53.- 55?).
4. A copy of the comments received from the Fort Collins -Loveland
Water District and the South Fort Collins Sanitation District
is attached to this letter.
