5/28/2013: Sheet C3 – Per land use code the phone and cable will need to be undergrounded with this
project. Alternatively, conduits may be installed in preparation of undergrounding since the frontage of
property is short. A utility easement may need to be created behind the property line to include the
conduits along with the water meters.
3/6/2013: Sheet C3 – There is overhead electric in front of the property. Please explore what will be required for this
project to relocate the overhead electric now or in the future Conduits, easement, etc?
Response: The overhead utilities in front of the site are telecom only. According to Janet McTague, the
electric is already underground to the northwest corner of the site and is of sufficient size to serve this
project. We will work during final design with the overhead telecom utilities to extend those
underground through the additional utility easement we are providing along the frontage.

5/28/2013: Thank you for the Engineer’s Estimate, now that Coy Ditch has been confirmed to no longer
need to remain, this estimate may need to be updated. At this time the Local Street portion of $204/L.F.
will be all that needs to be collected. The project will be responsible for removing CMP, filling in and
abandoning the Coy Ditch along its frontage.
3/6/2013: As was discussed prior to resubmittal, the project will be able to make payment in lieu for the frontage
improvements and Coy Ditch relocation. This payment will most likely have 3 parts; the local street portion which is
$204/lf of frontage, an engineer’s estimate to construct the new Coy Ditch location and an engineer’s estimate to
abandon the Coy Ditch in the right of way.
12/11/2012: Engineering and transportation staff will need to discuss internally the applicant’s desire to escrow funds
for the construction of curb, gutter, sidewalk and Coy Ditch. Recent direction has been to no longer escrow for future
construction.
Response: We have coordinated with Stormwater and Natural Resources on the disposition of the Coy
ditch. They currently have a project underway to remove and fill in the Coy.

5/28/2013: The City just announced that the Coy Ditch rights have been purchased by Natural Resources
and they no longer need the ditch along the frontage of your project. Please incorporate removing the
CMP, filling in the ditch and abandoning it along your frontage. Contact Natural Resources on whether
or not they need a signature block or any special notes on any sheets.
Response: As previously mentioned, we have coordinated and will continue to coordinate with
Stormwater and Natural Resources regarding the Coy.

5/28/2013: Revise the plans accordingly to incorporate the Coy Ditch being removed.
Topic: Plat
Comment Number 14 Comment Originated: 12/11/2012
12/11/2012: A signature block for the Coy Ditch will need to be added to the cover of the plat since an
easement is being dedicated per this plat.
Response: This easement is no longer needed per discussion with John Stokes (Natural Resources) and
Stormwater.
Comment Number 23 Comment Originated: 3/6/2013
5/28/2013: The Coy Ditch rights have been purchased by City of Fort Collins Natural Resources and thus
an easement will no longer be required to be dedicated on the property. However, please contact
Natural Resources to determine if they still require a signature block since this project incorporates the
area of the existing ditch.
03/06/2013: Is there specific Coy Ditch easement language that needs to be included on the plat. For example anything that
pertains to specifics regarding Landscaping allowed in easement, maintenance, etc?
Response: Additional signature blocks are not needed per discussion with Natural Resources and
Stormwater.

5/23/2013: If/when the existing Light & Power facilities need to be relocated, the requesting party will
be responsible for the costs.
2/21/2013: The existing streetlight and electric vault near the N.W. corner of the site will need to be relocated at the
developer’s expense to just behind the curb. The landscape plan needs to show this light, and street tree locations
adjusted to provide a minimum of 40 feet of clearance between the light and the tree (15 feet if the tree is an
ornamental type).
Response: As previously discussed, the electric does not require relocating.

charges with Light & Power Engineering (970)221-6700.

need to be submitted. The erosion control requirements are in the Stormwater Design Criteria under
the Amendments of Volume 3 Chapter 7 Section 1.3.3 If you need clarification concerning this section,
or if there are any questions please contact Jesse Schlam 970-218-2932 or email @ jschlam@fcgov.com.

3/8/2013: Reminder comment.
12/11/2012: The irrigation company is required to sign the Utility Plans.
Response: The Irrigation company no longer owns the water rights to the Coy Ditch. It was purchased
by the City of Fort Collins Natural Areas. The ditch company signature is no longer needed per
discussion with John Stokes (Natural Resources) and Glen Schlueter (Stormwater).
Comment Number: 7 Comment Originated: 5/28/2013
05/28/2013: Please revise the plans to not include the irrigation ditch. This ditch can be removed from
the property. This may allow the site to be lowered and minimize the retaining wall height.
Response: The ditch has been removed from the ultimate design. It is anticipated that the City project
to remove and fill in the Coy will be complete before this project begins construction. However, the
interim condition (showing the Coy in place, but functioning as a drainage ditch) is being retained in the
plans in case that project does not move ahead as quickly as expected. We will continue to coordinate
on the schedule and scope of the City project as the project moves through final design.
