Since ely, Stev Olt Project Planner xc: Ron Phillips, Planning Director Bob Blanchard, Chief Planner Kerrie Ashbeck Advance.Planning Stormwater Utility Transportation Parks & Recreation Natural Resources Bill Reynolds Libby Glass file/Project Planner C. Street trees along Vine Drive should be at 40' spacing., on -center, and be from the approved City street tree species list. The treatment along Vine Drive should be similar to that being proposed along Waterglen Drive. d. Planting details for irrigated and non -irrigated trees should be added to the Landscape Plan. e. How will water and sanitary sewer be provided to the park site? f. Is the irrigation pond for the park site included in the joint irrigation/detention pond(s) as shown on the Site & Landscape Plan? g. How is storm drainage to be handled across the park site? Please contact Craig Foreman if you have general questions about these comments. He can be reached at 221-6640. 9. The Larimer and Weld Irrigation Company has numerous concerns about potential impacts of this development on their ditch. A copy of the letter from Tim Dow, dated November 11, 1993, is attached to this letter. Please indicate how these concerns have been addressed and mitigated. 10. The final utility plans show three master water meters, indicating that there will be an independent water distribution system within the development. Apparently ELCO will not maintain the service lines to "mobile".homes and, therefore, this development will have to form its own water district or provide a private distribution system. The City will not maintain these private services and private systems are not allowed to occur within public street rights -of -way. A meeting between Bill Reynolds and ELCO to discuss this issue should take place soon. 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 followina dates and deadlines to assure your ability to stay on schedule for the September 26, 1994 Planning and Zoning Board hearing: ' Planrevisions are due no_later than the end of the working day, September 7,1994.

Is Vine Drive an existing 50' right-of-way or is it existing.301 of right-of-way with 20' being dedicated? Please clarify. 5. The Light 6 Power Department has stated that street tree locations along Waterglen Drive need to be flexible to provide minimum clearances to streetlights. Also, open space tracts need to be identified as a utility easement pX a minimum 8' easement is required adjacent to streets along the tracts. 6. The Stormwater Utility is stating that this submittal will not be reviewed by the Utility since it does not meet the condition of preliminary approval. The condition as stated in their comments dated 4/20/94 was that approval of the major drainage work that is to be done in the State right-of-way along Interstate 25 must be obtained from the Colorado Department of Transportation (C.D.O.T.) PRIOR to final submittal. The exact wording of the condition is that the preliminary drainage report be approved by the City Stormwater Utility prior to submission of final drainage reports and plans for any oprtion of the development. The City reserves the right to make changes to the layout of the site plan that are ascertained to be warranted due to storm drainage impacts on the development. Approval by the Stormwater Utility is dependent on C.D.O.T. review and approval and, to our knowledge, that has not yet been accomplished. 7. Karen Manci of the Natural Resources Division has forwarded numerous comments. A copy of these comments is attached to this letter, along with a copy of a letter from Mark Leslie of the Colorado Division of Wildlife dated July 22, 1994. Also, attached is a copy of a memorandum to you from Karen, dated June 16, 1994, indicating that the revised plans have attempted to mitigate impacts to the Cooper Slough and that they feel that it is possible to proceed with submittal of final plans. S. The following comments have been received from the Parks i Recreation Department: a. The attached species list should be used for the proposed plants in the Cooper Slough Natural Area.
