Comment Summary: Department: Stormwater Engineering Contact: Matt Simpson, (970)416-2754,masimpson@fcgov.com Topic: General Comment Number: 35 Comment Originated: 01/05/2021 01/05/2021: FOR HEARING: There are 3 proposed trees along Snead Drive that are too close to the proposed storm main. These trees will need to be shifted or relocated. See redlines for more information. OSLA Response: see revised locations with dimensions. Comment Number: 36 Comment Originated: 01/05/2021 01/05/2021: FOR HEARING: Please revise the subdrain alignment so that there is only 1 private subdrain pipe in the ROW. The proposed subdrain alignment is also creating tree conflicts. I have suggested an alternate alignment in the LANDSCAPE PLAN redlines. JR Response: The suggested alignment could not be achieved due to the invert elevation at the tie in at the proposed inlet. Another alignment has been proposed with only one private subdrain pipe in the ROW. 2 Comment Number: 37 Comment Originated: 01/05/2021 01/05/2021: FOR HEARING: Please revise the way water quality requirements are being tabulated and presented. Please tabulate the following items in a table in the drainage report: a. Required WQ Treatment Area = New or Modified Impervious Areas Onsite b. Required LID treatment Area = 75% of required WQ treatment areas c. Provided LID treatment area (areas treated with LID) d. Provided standard WQ treatment area (areas treated with extended detention) e. Total Imp. Areas Receiving WQ treatment. (SF and % of required) JR Response: Addressed Comment Number: 38 Comment Originated: 01/05/2021 01/05/2021: FOR HEARING: It appears you are providing water quality treatment with LID for 78% of the required water quality treatment area. This meets the LID requirement but not the overall water quality requirement. At this point I think providing treatment for Snead Drive is infeasible and you have done the best you can to compensate with offsite areas. I recommend adding a paragraph to the report that explains the engineering challenges of providing treatment for Snead Drive and then removing the Snead Drive area from the treatment requirement calculation. JR Response: Addressed Comment Number: 39 Comment Originated: 01/05/2021 01/05/2021: FOR HEARING: I would like you confirm the storm system on east side of Snead Dr will work vertically. Please provide the following items and then discuss with me: a. Invert spot elevations and pipe slopes. b. Vertical separation at crossings of water and sewer mains. JR Response: Addressed, an exhibit has been provided Comment Number: 40 Comment Originated: 01/05/2021 01/05/2021: FOR HEARING: Please add additional labels to the drainage map showing a) the pipe flow under Fossil Creek Parkway, and b) the “bypass flow” north of Fossil Creek Parkway. Show existing and proposed conditions. See redlines. JR Response: Addressed Comment Number: 41 Comment Originated: 01/05/2021 01/05/2021: FOR HEARING: Provide a stage-storage table for the Sand Filter to confirm footprint is sufficient. JR Response: Addressed Comment Number: 42 Comment Originated: 01/05/2021 01/05/2021: FOR HEARING: Please show where the gas main on north side of building will be relocated to. Will the PSCO easement be vacated? The plans show a proposed storm pipe at the edge of this easement. JR Response: Addressed Comment Number: 43 Comment Originated: 01/05/2021 01/05/2021: FOR FINAL PLAN: All custom junction structures will need structural details for 3 FDP. JR Response: this will be provided at time of final Comment Number: 44 Comment Originated: 01/05/2021 01/05/2021: FOR FINAL PLAN: Can the storm pipe, north of the building, be moved away from the retaining wall? 4-6 feet clear would be acceptable. JR Response: Addressed, storm pipe moved Comment Number: 45 Comment Originated: 01/05/2021 01/05/2021: FOR FINAL PLAN: Will there be foundation drains? Where will they tie into the storm drain system? JR Response: This will be addressed at time of final Comment Number: 46 Comment Originated: 01/05/2021 01/05/2021: FOR FINAL PLAN: I would like to review SWMM model. Please submit the SWMM model input/ output files and also include these in the drainage report. JR Response: This will be addressed at time of final Department: Erosion Control Contact: Chandler Arellano, Topic: Erosion Control Comment Number: 1 Comment Originated: 01/04/2021 01/04/2021: Comments Acknowledged. Expecting materials to be submitted at final. 03/06/2020: Erosion Control report and escrow calculation will need to be submitted at final. 01/02/2020: INFORMATION ONLY: The site disturbs more than 10,000 sq. ft. and/or meets the criteria for a need for Erosion and Sediment Control Materials to be submitted. The erosion control requirements are located in the Stormwater Design Criteria in Chapter 2 Section 6.0 a copy of the requirements can be found at www.fcgov.com/erosion For FINAL Please submit an Erosion Control Plans to meet City Criteria. FOR FINAL: Please submit an Erosion Control Escrow / Security Calculation based upon the accepted Erosion Control Plans to meet City Criteria. FOR FINAL: Thank you for submitting an ESC plan at PDP level. The plan is acceptable for this development review stage. At Final please provide an ESC report and a cost estimate and a calculation for total disturbed area by this project. Also at Final, please update the plan to add more specific ESC notes. A note should be added specifying that the sand filter will be build at the end of the construction sequence in order to prevent that facility from being contaminated with sediment during site construction activities. Other notes specific to this site should also be added as needed. JR Response: This will be addressed at time of final 4 Department: Floodplain Contact: Claudia Quezada, (970)416-2494,cquezada@fcgov.com Topic: Floodplain Comment Number: 34 Comment Originated: 03/10/2020 01/04/2021: FOR FINAL: See redlines. 03/10/2020: FOR HEARING: Please see included redlines. JR Response: Plat comments will be addressed at time of final Department: Planning Services Contact: Pete Wray, 970-221-6754,pwray@fcgov.com Topic: General Comment Number: 8 Comment Originated: 01/04/2021 BY HEARING. Landscape Plan - Based in tree separation requirements, any removal of relocation of trees wil lneed to be coordinated for overall compliance of landscaping standards for shading and screening. - Please identify landscape area between east building facade and edge of existing neighborhood is meeting the minimum of 25' of landscape separation buffer. This may include calculating amount of landscaping east of Snead Drive and also portion west of Snead Drive to building. - The standard does not include an average distance, but given the curve of Snead Drive this may be only way to document amoiunt of landscaping. if short a modification may be needed and due to location and alignment if Snead Drive, an equal to or better criteria is justified. OSLA Response: see landscape screening diagram on sheet 8 - minimum total dimension is 37’-6” @ entry area Comment Number: 9 Comment Originated: 01/05/2021 BY HEARING: Ready for hearing. Please clarify if any new plans or information is submitted for hearing to be added for the record. Department: Engineering Development Review Contact: Morgan Stroud, 970-416-4344,mstroud@fcgov.com Topic: General Comment Number: 2 Comment Originated: 01/07/2020 01/05/2021: For Hearing - Updated: The comment response for the last round of review stated that the ground water for the Snead Dr. right-of-way was addressed with a dewatering system and an undrain was being proposed. I did not see the information regarding the ground water for Snead Drive, but the separation requirement of ground water levels and a sand filter. Can you detail if there is high ground water in Snead Drive and if there is how it will be mitigated? 03/10/2020: 'For Hearing - Updated: Thank you for providing additional boring samples. It appears that some ground water mitigation will be needed for the Snead right-of-way. Please provide information on what measures will be made to mitigate the ground water levels. 01/07/2020: For Hearing: It is unclear from the soils report that was submitted about what the soil 5 conditions are near the Snead Drive right-of-way. Could you provide information about the condition of the soils near the right-of-way? JR Response: memo updated to include Snead Drive. Comment Number: 6 Comment Originated: 01/08/2020 01/05/2021: For Information - Updated: Many discussions are happening in the City on how long repayments on a property is eligible to repay the City for frontage improvements that are made. The repayment listed below may not be applicable by the time of final plan approval because it would be over 10 years since the improvements were made and constructed. 01/08/2020: For Information: There is a repayment will be due for the construction of Fossil Creek Parkway, the final number can be determined once plans and quantities are finalized. JR Response: Noted Comment Number: 7 Comment Originated: 01/05/2021 01/05/2021: For Hearing: Private underdrain systems in the public right-of-way will require approval of a major encroachment permit. It appears that there are two proposed private underdrain systems proposed in the Snead Dr. right-of-way, please limit this to 1 system and add the following note on the utility plan set: "Private improvements shown within the rights-of-way are subject to approval of an encroachment permit". If the underdrain system is for dewatering the street section and is perforated it can be considered public and would not require a major encroachment permit. An example of an underdrain system the City has approved previously can be found in the Huntington Hills West Subdivision utility plan set. JR Response: The suggested alignment could not be achieved due to the invert elevation at the tie in at the proposed inlet. Another alignment has been proposed with only one private subdrain pipe in the ROW. Noted added to the utility plan. Comment Number: 8 Comment Originated: 01/06/2021 01/06/2021: For Hearing: During discussions at Staff Review on 01/05/21, it was determined that there should probably be a condition of approval for hearing regarding the relocation of the gas line in an exclusive easement for PSCO because of the potential difficulty of gaining a letter of intent prior to hearing. There was also conversation about the potential of replatting the exclusive easement with this project, if that is the case, the easement holder should be added to the plat to sign off on and approve. JR Response: Noted, the proposed realignment of the gas line has been shown, and the PSCO easement will be addressed at time of final Department: Traffic Operation Contact: Martina Wilkinson, 970-221-6887,mwilkinson@fcgov.com Topic: General Comment Number: 4 Comment Originated: 03/10/2020 03/10/2020: READY FOR HEARING JR Response: Noted 6 Department: Environmental Planning Contact: Kelly Smith,ksmith@fcgov.com Topic: General Comment Number: 1 Comment Originated: 01/03/2021 01/03/2021: FOR HEARING Please clearly label and delineate the Natural Habitat Buffer Zone on site, utility and landscape plans. JR Response: Addressed OSLA Response: see revised labels on landscape plans Comment Number: 3 Comment Originated: 01/03/2021 01/03/2021: FOR FDP APPROVAL: Language for the Natural Resources section of the Development Agreement will be provided to Engineering. The following items must be submitted prior to FDP Approval 1. A cost estimate for landscaping in the Natural Habitat Buffer Zone (including plant material, labor and irrigation) 2. A cost estimate for three years of monitoring and annual reporting of landscape establishment in the Natural Habitat Buffer Zone 3. A bond, letter of credit, or escrow warranting the landscape installation, establishment, monitoring, and reporting for the Natural Habitat Buffer Zone (125% of cost estimates) 4. A weed management plan 5. An annual monitoring and reporting plan I can provide examples and additional detail for any of these items if needed. Please contact me if you have any questions. JR Response: Noted, will be provided at time of final. Comment Number: 4 Comment Originated: 01/03/2021 01/03/2021: FOR HEARING The NHBZ must be equal to the same SF of the buffer if a 50 foot buffer was used. The stormwater detention area was to be included in that SF calculation. Please modify the buffer area table to include this area. Also add additional native plantings along the embankments so that it complies NHBZ requirements. JR Response: Addressed Department: Forestry Contact: Nils Saha,nsaha@fcgov.com Topic: General Comment Number: 15 Comment Originated: 03/10/2020 03/10/2020: FOR FINAL Please see redlines for comments regarding tree placement. Comment Number: 19 Comment Originated: 01/05/2021 01/05/2021: FOR HEARING This is a minor adjustment, but on sheet 3, tree #25 is shown as “to be removed,” but listed as “removed” in the tree replacement matrix. Please make sure this is consistent on both. JR Response: Addressed Comment Number: 20 Comment Originated: 01/05/2021 01/05/2021: FOR HEARING 7 I would recommend restructuring the plant list. Since there is no difference in mitigation size for shade trees (2” caliper across the board), 13 of the deciduous trees proposed can also count as mitigation trees. Forestry has permitted this on other projects, provided the plant list meets Tree Planting Standards set forth in the Land Use Code. As it is laid out, it might appear that the mitigation requirements are not being met. The same adjustment is recommended in the tree replacement matrix on sheet 3. OSLA Response: see revised planting plan, “mitigation trees” has been removed. see revised Plant List – Mitigation trees merged into Deciduous and Evergreen trees. Comment Number: 21 Comment Originated: 01/05/2021 01/05/2021: FOR FINAL Honeylocusts are overplanted in our urban canopy (>10 percent). In order to protect against pests/diseases and create a more resilient, diverse urban forest, please limit the number of honeylocusts proposed. Kentucky coffeetrees or accolade elms would be suitable alternatives for this area. OSLA Response: see revised tree plantings (trees replaced by Accolade Elms and Kentucy Coffeetrees). Comment Number: 22 Comment Originated: 01/05/2021 01/05/2021: FOR FINAL The two crabapples in the landscaped island south of the parking lot should be switched to canopy shade trees (LUC 3.2.1 (E.3.5.c)). Please refer to redlines. OSLA Response: Done – replaced with Kentucky Coffeetree Comment Number: 23 Comment Originated: 01/05/2021 01/05/2021: FOR FINAL The tree count and tree/utility separation will be verified at FDP. However, please see redlines for conflicts. Additionally, I am not seeing the 13 junipers proposed on landscape plan. OSLA Response: All tree utility separations have dimensions shown – 8’ from storm per Matt, Junipers are shown to the south of the retaining wall along Fossil Creek Pkwy. Comment Number: 24 Comment Originated: 01/05/2021 01/05/2021: FOR FINAL There are three street trees (two along Snead and one along Fossil Creek) that do not meet the separation criteria from the adjacent stormdrain, underdrain and watermain. Please see redlines for suggestions on adjusting their placement. OSLA Response: See revised tree locations and dimensions (per Matt, ok to be 8’ from storm lines) Topic: Landscape Plans Comment Number: 9 Comment Originated: 01/06/2020 03/09/2020: FOR FINAL-UNRESOLVED Please see redlines. 01/06/2020: FOR FINAL There is a tree on Snead that is closer than 4’ to a gas line. Please see redlines and adjust. OSLA Response: trees adjusted and dimensioned to be 4’ min. off gas line. Comment Number: 12 Comment Originated: 01/06/2020 03/09/2020: FOR FINAL - UNRESOLVED Please see redlines. OSLA Response: nothing noted on the redlines 8 01/06/2020: FOR FINAL There are a lot of line over text issues with the plans. Please see redlines.
