Topic: General
02/25/2016: The legal descriptions provided are being checked for any errors on
format and closure. We may need to have the legal descriptions described
separately on separate pages, rather than combined into one document, pending
consultation with our city attorney. This comment will be updated accordingly. I will
email out our standard deed of dedication forms for right-of-way and easement,
along with a link to the fee schedule.
10/06/2015: Existing right-of-way along Mulberry Street needs to be identified and
indicated for verification on whether any additional right-of-way dedication is
required. Existing utility easements (if any) need to be identified -- a 9 foot utility
easement behind the ultimate Lilac Lane right-of-way and a 15 foot utility easement
behind the Mulberry Street right-of-way would need to be dedicated if not already in
place. Any required dedications have a $250 deed of dedication fee as part of the
Transportation Development Review Fee schedule along with recording fees that
Larimer County requires to record the document(s).

10/08/2015: Any changes to the existing electric capacity and or location will initiate
electric development and system modification charges. All costs for relocation of
Light and Power's existing facilities adjacent to the site will be the responsibility of
the Developer. Please contact Light and Power engineering if existing facilities must
be moved to accomodate site upgrades (sidewalk widening, sidewalk installation,
etc).

02/24/2016: The irrigation box labeled on the site plan is actually City Light and
Power secondary box with existing electrical feeds. This box does not need to be
relocated but due to the sidewalk widening along Lilac Ln, the existing box must be
replaced with a traffic rated box. The Developer will be responsible for time and
material costs for Light and Power to replace the box and set the box to the new
sidewalk grade. Please contact me for additional information.

10/09/2015: Please indicate the amount of added concrete (or impervious surfaces)
that are proposed for this site. If your project adds more than 350 square feet (and
less than 1000 square feet) of new hard surface area or substantially changes the
site grading on your lot, the following additional information must be submitted with
your application. Hard surfaces are roofs, driveways, and sidewalks or any surface
that does not allow water to penetrate into the soil.
Using the site plan, show drainage arrows indicating the direction the water flows
away from the building and along all property lines.
Show the location of the existing and proposed downspouts with flow arrows
pointing in the direction the downspouts will be aimed.
Show any other information that may affect the drainage such as sidewalks,
driveways, curbs, gutters, retaining walls, and window well locations.

02/22/2016: The site plan now indicates the amount of proposed impervious
surfaces (Bldg Coverage and Hard Surface).
However, the existing condition imperviousness also needs to be stated.
You only need to include imperviousness (existing and proposed conditions) that are
within your lot. Don't include what is within the ROW fronting your lot.
It is important to document the existing impervious area since drainage
requirements and fees are based on new impervious area. An exhibit showing the
existing and proposed impervious areas with a table summarizing the areas is
required prior to the time fees are calculated for each building permit.
Comment Number: 3 Comment Originated: 02/22/2016
02/22/2016: If there is an increase in imperviousness greater than 1000 square feet
a drainage report, erosion control report and construction plans are required and
they must be prepared by a Professional Engineer registered in Colorado. The
drainage report must address the four-step process for selecting structural BMPs.
If there is less than 1,000 square feet of new impervious area on an existing
development, a drainage letter along with a grading plan should be sufficient to
document the existing and proposed drainage patterns.
By looking at your site plan it looks like you may be right under or at the 1000 square
feet threshold.
Please contact Heather McDowell in the Water Utilities Department to discuss this
further if you have questions about what needs to be provided for review and
approval. (970) 224-6065.
