10/09/2013: The concrete scoring pattern should be changed from 15' x 12' panel sizes to 10' x 12',
as we're finding that panel sizing larger than 120 sq. ft. has been prone to cracking. A note should be
added to the detail indicating that the joint pattern detail may be modified in the field in consultation with
City Engineering Inspection. Will the concrete panels be dowelled into the curb and gutter section, and
if so, provide spacing.
08/08/2013: A concrete joint pattern design for Timberline Road is required. Information provided
should be in a manner similar to CDOT's M-412 standard.

10/09/2013: The private storm lines crossing Majestic Drive right-of-way need to be labeled on the
construction plan set. Installation of sleeving spanning the right-of-way also needs to indicated on the
plans and that encroachment permits will be required from Engineering Inspection prior to the
installation
Comment Number: 37 Comment Originated: 10/09/2013
10/09/2013: The transition to remove the crown along Majestic Drive is set too far back from the
Timberline Road intersection, with the concern that the cross slopes are below 2% for too long of an
area for drainage. Please look to carry the crown 2% to the eastern edge of the median and then
transition.

10/09/2013: In general, the cross sections provided in the plan set are not labelling the spot elevations
correctly. The cross section should also be indicating the slopes outside of the roadway section.
Comment Number: 39 Comment Originated: 10/09/2013
10/09/2013: For roadway widening in areas without curb and gutter and not a bikelane, the City requires
beyond the pavement section, a 4 foot asphalt shoulder followed by a 2 foot gravel shoulder. For the
Timberline Road southbound right turn lane onto Trilby Road from approximately STA 94+80 south, the
additional 4 foot asphalt shoulder and 2 foot gravel shoulder is required. Ensure cross sections on
Timberline reflect the additional pavement/shoulder.
Comment Number: 40 Comment Originated: 10/09/2013
10/09/2013: On sheets C16 and C18, please showing street patching along Trilby Road for the two

approximate. Final limits are to be determined in the field by the City Engineering Inspector. All
repairs to be in accordance with City street repair standards.

10/09/2013: The use of LCUASS detail 705a included on Sheet C.61 is needed for the underdrain

gutter design as part of the City's recently updated streetscape standards. Please cross out the use of

10/09/2013: Offsite easements appear to be needed from the following property owners:
1) Lot 25 of Paragon Estates for grading and drainage easement
2) Tract F of Paragon Estates for grading (unless there's an underlying easement already in place, with
this plat being in Larimer County, the City does not have a copy)
3) Lot 3 Leistikow MRD drainage easement to the City, plus a grading easement that can be dedicated
to the City, but okay to be private?
4) Westchase HOA, drainage easement (unless considered resolved by City Stormwater and City
Attorney's Office)
5) Susan Levine for grading and drainage
6) Potentially Chuck Burchett for grading? (right-of-way isn't clearly delineated on the plans)
7) Wayne Leistikow for grading and drainage
We'll need legal descriptions for the easements for review. Because some of these easements are
located in areas that are under Larimer County's jurisdiction, I've inquired with Traci at Larimer County
Engineering on whether they have any interest or concerns on the easement language. I may have
additional comments upon their input. Each easement dedicated to the City requires a $250
Transportation Development Review Fee as well as recording fees assess by Larimer County.

10/09/2013: Please continue illustrating the left flowline/edge of pavement further south past Rock
Castle Lane to illustrate the extent of new pavement and indicate the existing edge of pavement grade
being tied into (since this is under Larimer County jurisdiction however, I will defer to Larimer County if
they don't feel this additional information is needed).

Natural Habitat Buffer Zone, Drainage, Landscape, Irrigation and Access Easement needing to be
dedicated to the City? I'm not sure where "Access" is needed and "Irrigation" as well? A "Natural
Habitat Buffer Zone" if dedicated to the City, may need clarification language from our standard
easement dedication form, explaining what this easement is.

10/09/2013: On the construction plans, Sheet C6, please indicate the removal of existing vertical curb
and replacement with driveover curb for the emergency access. Include the driveover curb detail in
the details sheet.
08/07/2013: There's been further discussion and coordination with PFA on the design of emergency
access off of public streets on projects as a whole. Pending verification from PFA, Engineering would
prefer to see that instead of a driveway cut for the emergency access onto Trilby, that the vertical curb
and gutter is replaced with driveover curb for the emergency access and the bollards are placed
behind the right-of-way. We've looked to implement this design on other projects for the aesthetic
value of the streetscape not having bollards and the driveway cut. In addition the bollard placement in
right-of-way is of concern.

08/06/2013: The comments related to the raptor's nest are continued and will be included in the
Development Agreement.
01/22/2013: The raptor nest to the west of Timberline cannot be removed until final plans have been
approved and recorded. If the timing of this removal conflicts with the seasonal restrictions on nesting
and rearing, then a temporary LOD will be established around the nest.
11/27/2012: As per the ECS, the recommendations found on page 7 regarding the raptor nest to the
west of Timberline shall be a condition of this project's approval. In addition, the Siberian elms on site
shall be surveyed prior to construction for any raptor nests.
If a raptors nest is found during the pre construction surveys, then a temporary Limits of Development
shall be applied in accordance with Section 3.4.1(N)(5) of the Land Use Code.

Topic: Reports - Soils, Subdrain
10/08/2013: As indicated in my prior email, I am meeting with several City staff members to assess
whether our success criteria is appropriate. We'll get back with David Johnson after this site visit
(scheduled for 10/15).
08/06/2013: Thank you for the timely submittal of the mitigation and monitoring plan. I have the
following comments:
1. The success criteria outlind on page 5 of the document are a good start, but we typically require
80-90% vegetation cover by the third season. Please revise or provide a justification. In the past,
we've required 50% cover at the end of the first year, 75% at the end of the second year and 85-90%
at the end of the third year.
2. On Section 5.2, please include that the City will be invited to attend at least one site visit per year
with the consultant.
3. On Section 5.5, please include a timing for delivery of the report, e.g., on or around December 1 of
each calendar year. Also include in the report any suggestions for addressing concerns/needs on the
site.

08/07/2013:
Tree Sizes:
Review the installed size of conifer trees to be sure the intent of the applicant is to provide specimen
trees larger than code requirement. There is not a restriction in providing larger trees but availability
and other issues should be considered. Some conifer trees are listed at 10-16 feet height. Upsizing
beyond what is in the code is not a City Requirement.
For mitigation trees these are the minimum size requirements.
2.5 inch ornamental
3 inch shade trees
8 foot heath conifer trees
Standard minimum size requirement
2.0 inch shade tree
1.5 inch ornamental tree
6 foot heath conifer tree
Spring Snow Crab, Thunderchild Crab and Chanticleer Pear are listed as 3 and 4 inch caliper in the
plant list.

08/07/2013:
Tree Mitigation Count and sizes:
Trees listed on LP605 in the list of the quantities of trees upsized for mitigation do not coincide with
those on the plant list. For one example there are 25 Spring Snow Crabs 2.5 inch caliper listed on
LP605 but on the plant list there 42 Spring Snow Crab listed as 3 inch. Also on the landscape sheets
where it shows the symbols of actual trees to plant the caliper is placed by the mitigation trees. Cross
check all three of these so that the sizes and numbers coincide.
1. List on LP605
2. Plant List
3. Direct labeling of mitigation trees on the sheets with caliper or height listed by the symbol.
Larger than mitigation size can be listed at the discretion of the applicant if that is the design intent of
the project but is not a code requirement. If additional upsizing is the intent of the applicant then the
upsized list on LP695 could say (Installed Size or Greater).

On LP605 Under Tree Preservation Guidelines /Protect Trunk and Branches change note number 9 to
say in effect the following.
All damage to existing trees to remain shall be reported immediately to the Architect and City Forester.
Fines for damage shall range from $500 to $1,000 per incident or as assessed by a private qualified
landscape appraiser.

08/07/2013:
Clarify the calculation for the 90.5 tree mitigation credit listed on LP605 by adding this statement. (The
tree mitigation credit for transplanting trees includes a maximum of 2 or the actual mitigation value
whichever is less). Please add this statement at the appropriate location on LP605.

10/21/2013: Sht C55: County requested the southbound two way left turn lane (TWLTL) approaching
Rock Castle be stripped as an exclusive left turn bay near Rock Castle. As such please modify the
TWLTL per the sketch emailed to you the evening of 10-21. Make it 300' in total length with 200' of
open "taper" and 100' of storage. I've emailed a sketch of the desired left turn. Since the County
asked for this we should match the northbound left turn lane at Timberline and Majestic (sht C48).
Please do the same change there with the same dimensions for the northbound approach.

Comment Number: 21 Comment Originated: 10/21/2013
10/21/2013: Upon reviewing the turning template provided to Marc Virata Traffic has the following input.
The southbound right turn onto Trilby should be modeled from a WB50 beginning their turn from the
right turn lane, swinging out into the adjacent lanes then completing their right turn. It provides a more
accurate turning characteristic than a truck assumed to be fully aligned in the southbound thru lane. The
pavement should be widened in the corner to provide for imperfect turning by truck drivers allowing
the rear truck tires to stay on the pavement. The signal pole should be a minimum of 4 feet away from
the trucks average rear turning path to provide pole, pole mounted signal head and pole foundation
clearance.
