Topic: General
My understanding from the meeting is that another submittal is needed for Engineering, Stormwater, Technical
Services and Environmental Planning. To save paper, I don’t think landscape plans are needed for that. Let’s
coordinate a routing.
I am assuming FC-Loveland Water District and SFC Sanitation District are resolved: The District does not allow trees,
extensive landscaping, structures, etc. within 10 feet of District facilities or within District easements. The District will
require a permanent and temporary construction easement for the installation of a 24-inch waterline. The property will
need to petition into the sanitation District with a $50 per acre fee. There is a reimbursement for connection to the
water infrastructure of approximately $62,566.76 as of September 3, 2014. There is an interest rate factor that will
increase over time. The District will require another review of plans to resolve these comments.

03/13/2016: Street Trees: Standards call for street trees in groups of 3, 5, or
more of each species. The idea is to be more definite and legible in defining
the street as a space, and get more effect out of each species.
For the benefit of people walking on the sidewalks, any chance to stagger
groupings on the outside of the sidewalk to create stretches of allee, should be
taken advantage of. The point is to more strongly establish the street and
sidewalk as positive public spaces. There is no stronger spatial effect in
landscaping than an allee.
Is there a reason for the more random groupings-if so let's discuss.
Response: This was a design strategy that was approved in schematic design with the City team as well as forestry. The idea
behind this is to embrace the farm vernacular, and enhance the native appeal where one would not find trees planted in allees to
the extents of the farm property. Intentional planting, such as tree allees, would generally occur adjacent with the physical
development of the farm property. This is the design intention. Also, many of the proposed street trees fall in native seed areas.

03/13/2016: Street Trees: It looks like there should be shade trees along the
parking on Saber Cat Drive, for comfort and attractiveness of the parking. Also
along Lady Moon to visually absorb and shade the parking.
Response: We have met the requirements for street trees. Our layout has been approved by the city design team and the city
forester.

03/13/2016: Street Trees: At the orchard on the south, if some of the flowering
trees crossed over into the parkway to create a flowering allee in spring. In that
case, the species should match the orchard rows, and so will vary along the
street.
Response: There is the true fruiting orchard area which runs north/ south and crosses the parking area. We also have a “false”
orchard to the southeast of this. The intention is to represent an orchard with the flowering trees, but not require maintenance at
the intensity of the true fruiting orchard. Visually these two will relate to one another with their variety of spring bloom.

03/07/2016: Please look at the plan and profile sheets for Ziegler Road and
Lady Moon Drive. There are areas that exceed to 0.4% grade breaks. The curb
returns at the driveways show slopes greater than 2%. These grades would not
meet ADA across the ramps. The vertical curve for an arterial street has k
values >= 90 and minimum lengths of 150'. These can be looked at further since
it is in a deceleration right turn lane. Response: The profiles have been revised to meet the code
requirements.

03/08/2016: Is this a 100' buffer from McClelland Creek and 50' for the ditch?
The buffer will be referred to in your Development Agreement as the Natural
Habitat Buffer Zone (NHBZ). For the purposes of the DA, future inspections, and
evaluating the overall establishment and success of the resource restoration
and buffer, please label consistently as the Natural Habitat Buffer Zone (NHBZ)
on all sheets that show the buffer.
Response: The NHBZ has been revised on all SP-XX sheets, as well as all LL-XX sheets. A revised legend has been included,
as well as additional labels on all plans. There is not a ditch within this property. The required SF for the NHBZ is determined as
100’ buffer from the top of bank. We have then taken this SF, and modified the boundary to adhere to the design constraints.
The revised NHBZ falls only in native seed areas within the park.
Comment Number: 2 Comment Originated: 03/08/2016
03/08/2016: On sheet SP-01 it is hard to differentiate the NHBZ from the
100-year floodplain and other dashed lines. Please use different symbology for
the buffer, perhaps a dotted line, to better distinguish it. Also, please label the
buffer on all sheets, such as SP-02 that shows the boundary but does not have a
label.

03/08/2016: The determination of the buffer line is unclear. If this is a 100'
buffer it has been averaged with what appears to be 0' setback from top of bank
in some areas and more than 100' in other areas. We recommend moving the
buffer boundary to the edge of trails and borders the encompass native
landscaping around the stream. Using these more clearly defined breaks in the
landscaping will make it easier to review and monitor the success of the NHBZ
over the long term. For clarity, please also include a table that shows the total
area required for a straight 100' buffer versus the total area provided.
Response: The NHBZ has been revised on all SP-XX sheets, as well as all LL-XX sheets. It is labeled as such as well. There is
not a ditch within this property, so the NHBZ is determined as 100’ buffer from the top of bank. We have then taken this SF, and
modified the boundary to adhere to the design constraints. The revised NHBZ falls only in native seed areas within the park, and
clearly follows the proposed walkways and other site design elements. A table has been included on sheet SP-01

03/08/2016: As per the Land Use Code, the buffer distance for stream
corridors is measured from top of bank. Is "toe of slope" synonymous with "top
of bank". How was this measured? Please use "toe of slope" to measure the
buffer zone distances and re-label on all plan sets.
Response: Toe of slope refers to a detail for bank reinforcement in the creek bed. This is not in any way related to top of bank
alignment. The NHBZ has been determined based on the proposed top of bank alignment.

03/08/2016: Turf grass is shown within some areas of the NHBZ, such as on
sheet LL-02. Turf grass is not compatible with the intent of the NHBZ. Please
see comment #3 regarding the delineation of the NHBZ and update
accordingly.
Response: The NHBZ has been revised. All turf grass is outside of this boundary. Native seed areas are within the boundary.

protected from light spillage from off-site sources." Thus, lighting from the
parking areas or other site amenities shall not spill over to the buffer areas.
Please update the lighting fixtures and photometric plan to remove any light
spillage and clearly label the NHBZ on all sheets.
Response: The NHBZ has been revised. There is minimal light spillage into the NHBZ, but after additional review with Kelly K
through email, the revised NHBZ has been approved. The proposed boundary is a simple boundary defined by site design.

The tree inventory information needs some editing. All existing trees are
numbered in the table on sheet SP03 but these same trees are not numbered
on the direct label on sheet SP02. All existing trees need to be numbered in
both the table an on the plan. Also in the direct label information should be
marked with the word remove or remain. At the east end of the site there is a
group of what appears to be 5 spruce to retain but the label only indicates 3.
Evaluate with Ralph Zentz further if any of the Austrian pines in the large grove
on the south edge of the project can be transplanted. This should be reviewed in
an onsite meeting.
Response: Existing tree inventory has been revised to include numbering on both sheets as well as “remove” and “remain”.
There are (5) existing spruce labeled at the east side of the park. There are (2) to remove and (3) to remain; #71, 72 are
removed, #76, 77, 78 are to remain. On further review with Ralph, the (12) Austrian along the north edge of the park near the
existing BMX were not suitable for transplant.

evaluation plan. Forestry has provided this information. These existing trees
need to be identified by species, size condition and mitigation as others have
been. Trees identified for transplanting by Forestry need to be recorded for
transplanting. The locations where transplanted tree will be transplanted needs
to be shown on the plan. Provide notes that describe the tree transplanting
process such as time of year, size of root ball and after care. Clearly show
which trees will be transplanted.

proposed trees near it that do not meet the separation standard. Show the
location of utility lines on the landscape plan that require a tree separation
distance and make adjustments as needed to tree positions to meet the LUC
separation standard.
Response: The sewer main and easement have been labeled on all sheets, included dimensions. All trees on either side of this
easement are in compliance with the below minimum distances. We have included a table on SP-XX sheets and LL-XX sheets
with minimum distances required.
12/15/2015
Provide tree separations from utilities to the Land Use Code 3.2.1 K. It
appears some trees may be too close to the existing sewer main running
across the park and possibly to other utilities. Review tree spacing from utilizes
and make adjustments where needed. Show utility locations on the landscape
sheets so trees can be correctly located in relation to these lines.

There are number errors in the summary tables for trees on sheet LL-00. Totals
for Italian Plum, Stanley Plum and Montmorency Cherry are not recorded. Just
one random check of coffeetrees was performed by Forestry and this check
indicated there is a large error in the total coffeetrees recorded. Eleven
coffeetrees are recorded on sheet LL-00 but there are many more than 11
shown on the plans. The Project needs to carefully verify all tree totals and
correct errors in the tree list schedules.
Response: This has been revised on LL-00. This same scheduled is duplicated on all LL-XX sheets – so the quantities showing

note and callout the specific details so that the contractor doesn’t
mis-understand or completely miss something. Also, its unclear what happened
to the Civil Grading Plans. Were these replaced with the Landscape Grading
Plans? Response: The grading plan has been revised.

03/08/2016: Sheet LG-06 - The low point in the driveway where the double
30-inch culverts are located needs to be more clearly labeled. There is a 2’ curb
cut on the north side of the drive aisle that needs to be labeled. The ponding
depth for the overtopping flow in this area needs to studied to ensure that the
overtopping doesn’t spill onto Ziegler or into the parking lot. The grading plan
may need to be revised through here to contain the overtopping. Response: Per the drainage report, the
overtopping of the roadway ponds to an elevation of 0.57’ above the spillway. Per the revised grading plan, there is a minimum of
0.7’ available before the water overtops the roadway high point.

Comment Number: 1 Comment Originated: 02/22/2016
02/22/2016: Per our phone conversation just a short while ago some significant
concerns I wanted to bring up and get address. The Plan will need the following:
1)Showing specific areas of slope protection along the channel on the plan set.
2)Showing more bank erosion control details to make sure the banks will have
less erosion control impact while seeding is occurring. 3) Adding erosion
control rolled product details to the plans from the Jute to any Straw blankets,

etc...
Response: Slope protection is now shown. We will advance the details after a contractor has been selected.
The Report will need the following. 4)With this being such a sensitive area. I will
need a little more specific and detailed process and means of construction in
this channel which will minimize the impact and pollutant discharge while
working in the water way (i.e. the rock check dams and pump bypass labeled on
the plans) I understand this is generally out of an engineer’s scope and so the
contractor may need to be the ones who supply this information after the project
bid has been awarded.
Response: Additional details will be added to the report once a contractor has been selected and a dewatering plan has been
established.
Two minor things not mentioned per the phone conversation 5)The report will
need to have the current vegetative cover or percent density, currently not found
in the Erosion Control Report. 6)The escrow may need to be recalculated with
Plan Revisions. If you need clarification concerning the erosion control section,
or if there are any questions please contact Jesse Schlam 970-218-2932 or
email @ jschlam@fcgov.com Response: Acknowledged.
