02/15/2021: FOR FINAL APPOVAL
Really great work on the updated fence/landscape detail, however, sheet C2.0 does not match
L1.0. We will want sheet C2.0 updated prior to recording mylars. Remove Note 2 from sheet L1.0.
Typically, any species changes to the Landscape Plan go through a 'Micro Amendment' process
which is just a quick check by zoning staff.
RESPONSE: SHEET C2.0 IS THE CORRECT SCREEN FENCE LAYOUT, SHEET L1.0 HAS BEEN
UPDATED TO CLARIFY THE LIMITS OF SCREEN FENCE SPACING. SHEET L1.0 WAS ALSO
TO REMOVE NOTE 2.

02/16/2021: FOR APPROVAL: The CDOT Frontage Roadway plans were submitted with the
first review, but were not within the second round of the submittal. Through the coordination
meeting, the client has stated that the CDOT plans will be submitted for the review after approved
by CDOT. The City will need to review and record the plans for City records. The plans will be
reviewed to be sure that there are no discrepancies with City Code.
RESPONSE: GIVEN IT WAS AGREED TO THAT CDOT WOULD BE THE GOVERNING ENTITY
TO REVIEW THE DESIGN OF THE FRONTAGE ROAD IMPROVEMENTS, WE HAVE
CONTINUED DISCUSSIONS AND SUBMITTALS WITH CDOT DIRECTLY. WE WILL SUBMIT THE
APPROVED CDOT PLANS UPON RECEIPT FOR YOUR FINAL REVIEW AND RECORDATION.
CURRENTLY, WE PLAN TO RESUBMIT THE FRONTAGE ROAD PLANS TO CDOT BY 3/10/2021,
BUT WE ARE STILL WAITING ON TWO DEPARTMENTS COMMENTS ON THE PREVIOUS
ROUND SUBMITTAL AHEAD OF OUR RESUBMITTAL. OUR EXPECTATION IS TO HAVE
FORMAL APPROVAL FROM CDOT IN APRIL 2021.
Comment Number: 11 Comment Originated: 02/16/2021
02/16/2021: FOR APPROVAL: Please forward the documents for recordation of the right of way
to be dedicated to CDOT as soon as they are ready and the City will assist in getting these
documents recorded.
RESPONSE: WE RECEIVED THE ATTACHED TEMPLATED DEED REQUIRED BY CDOT FOR
THE DEDICATION, IN THE FORM OF A GENERAL WARRANTY DEED. PER AN EMAIL FROM
CDOT ON 3/3/2021, THEIR REGION 4 ROW DEPARMENT IS FILLING IN THIS TEMPLATED
DEED FORM WITH THE SPECIFIC PROJECT INFORMATION AND REVIEWING ONCE
RECEIVED, OUR LEGAL DESCRIPTION EXHIBIT, FOLLOWING WICH IT WILL CIRCULATE AN
EXECUTABLE VERSION. ONCE RECEIVED, WE WILL GET THIS EXECUTED AND
COORDINATE WITH THE CITY ATTORNEY TO RECORD FOLLOWING APPROVAL OF THE
FDP. IT WILL BE RECORDED AHEAD OF THE RECORDING OF THE PLAT.
Comment Number: 12 Comment Originated: 02/17/2021
02/17/2021: FOR APPROVAL: City Code requires that the infrastructure is completed before the
issuance of building permits. It is acknowledged that the applicant has requested if there are any
negotiation in this matter. Although City staff cannot waive City Code, we will check into historical
projects with similar conditions to see what alternatives exist.
RESPONSE: A DRAFT DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT WAS RECEIVED ON 3/5/21. WE ARE IN
THE PROCESS OF REVIEWING THE OUTLINED REQUIREMENTS AND PROCESS FOR
PERMITTING AND STAGING OF OUR PROJECT. WE WILL REVIEW AND TURN OUR
COMMENTS ON THE DA IN A QUICK MANNER, AS THIS DEVELOPMENT APPROVAL IS OUR
TOP PRIORITY.
Comment Number: 13 Comment Originated: 02/17/2021
02/17/2021: FOR APPROVAL: A meeting will be scheduled to discuss how to handle the
inspection on the proposed improvements. This has been handled on a case-by-case basis in
areas involving cross jurisdictional projects. The Development Review Coordinator will schedule a
meeting with the Applicant, CDOT, Engineering to discuss inspection issues.

01/05/2021: FOR APPROVAL:
All easements dedicated and vacated by separate document (temporary access through site,
roadway easement along northern property line, Redman Drive easement) that are identified on the
plat need to have reception numbers prior to recording the plat at the County.
RESPONSE: PER OUR 1/25/2021 RESPONSE LETTER (INCLUDING SCHEDULE 1 THERETO,
WHICH IS RE-ATTACHED WITH THIS RESPONSE), WE HAD IDENTIFIED A PROPOSED
PROCESS FOR RECORDING DOCUMENTS WITH BLANKS ON THE PLAT. SPECIFICALLY,
THE CITY ATTORNEY IS TO RECORD THOSE DOCUMENTS AND HANDWRITE INTO THE PLAT
THEIR RECORDING INFORMATION PRIOR TO RECORDATION OF THE PLAT. WE HAD
JOINTLY FORMULATED THIS PROCESS WITH CLAIRE HAVELDA AND MORGAN STROUD. IN
VIEW OF THE CITY’S LATEST COMMENTS ON THIS PROCESS (INCLUDING NOTING BLANK
RECEPTION NUMBERS ON THE PLAT), WE SOUGHT ASSURANCE FROM MS. HAVELDA AND
DAVE BETLEY, WHO EACH CONFIRMED THEY WERE AWARE OF NO ISSUE RELATED TO
THIS PROPOSED PROCESS.
Comment Number: 3 Comment Originated: 01/05/2021
01/05/2021: FOR APPROVAL:
The City will need to have the easement for Redman Drive recorded prior to the plat being
recorded if the applicant team needs to be the party recording. However, the City Attorneys have
indicated that with a letter of instruction for recording the City could record the documents
"simultaneously" to help achieve the timing that is needed by the applicant team.
RESPONSE: PER OUR 1/25/2021 RESPONSE LETTER (INCLUDING SCHEDULE 1 THERETO,
WHICH IS RE-ATTACHED WITH THIS RESPONSE), WE HAD IDENTIFIED RECORDATION OF
THE REDMAN DRIVE EASEMENT TO OCCUR AFTER RECORDATION OF THE PLAT. WE HAD
PREVIOUSLY VETTED THIS WITH CLAIRE HAVELDA AND MORGAN STROUD. THEY
INDICATED (AS NOTED IN OUR PRIOR RESPONSE) THAT THE REDMAN DRIVE EASEMENT
COULD BE RECORDED AFTER THE PLAT, PROVIDED THE 26’ TEMPORARY ACCESS
EASEMENT (SHOWN ON OUR PLAT ALONG THE NORTHERN PROPERTY BOUNDARY LINE)
PROVIDES FOR ACCESS TO LOT 3 UNTIL RECORDATION OF THE REDMAN DRIVE
EASEMENT. FURTHER, PLAT NOTE 17 DESCRIBES THIS PROCESS AND NOTES THE
OBLIGATION OF OUR SELLER AND THE OWNER OF REDMAN TO ENTER INTO THE REDMAN
DRIVE EASEMENT. ACCORDINGLY, THIS EASEMENT IS BEING HELD IN ESCROW WITH
THE TITLE COMPANY FOR RECORDATION AT THE TIME OF THE LAND CLOSING. FURTHER
NOTE, AS A PRACTICAL MATTER, THE REDMAN DRIVE EASEMENT CANNOT BE RECORDED
UNTIL WE CLOSE ON THE LAND, WHICH CANNOT OCCUR UNTIL CITY FDP APPROVAL AND
PLAT RECORDATION.
Comment Number: 4 Comment Originated: 01/05/2021
01/07/2021: FOR APPROVAL: - Updated: Applicant provided correspondence from CDOT that
they wish to have the plan sets separated for their ease and for easier access for their inspectors.
RESPONSE: AS DISCUSSED IN OUR STAFF COMMENT REVIEW CALL FOR THIS SECOND
ROUND SUBMITTAL, WE WILL SUPPLY THE APPROVED CDOT PLAN SET UPON APPROVAL
Page 4 of 14
FOR YOUR FILES. ADDITIONALLY, WE ARE WILLING TO ACCOMMODATE ANY INSPECTION
REQUIREMENTS OF THE CITY FOR THIS SOW, AS LONG AS ITS CONSISTENT WITH CDOT
REQUIREMENTS.

02/12/2021: UPDATED: Comments response states they are waiting on feedback from CDOT.
Will need to review striping changes when submitted.
RESPONSE: ACKNOWLEDGED. CITY WILL BE COPIED ON ALL CDOT/FRONTAGE ROAD
CORRESPONDENCE. CDOT IS NOT IN CONFLICT WITH ANY OF YOUR REQUESTS, SO WE
WILL INCORPORATE YOUR SUGGESTED MODIFICATIONS INTO THE STRIPING PLAN.
01/05/2021: We would like to work with you in regard to the proposed striping plans for the
frontage road that you submitted. The current configuration creates a significant offset in the lane
alignment across Redman Drive and leaves a large unused portion of roadway on the north end that
may create confusion. I have provided some redlines of some possible changes to fix this. Please
contact me if you have any questions.

Topic: Erosion Control
Comment Number: 1 Comment Originated: 02/10/2021
02/10/2021: INFORMATION ONLY:
The City Manager’s development review fee schedule under City Code 7.5-2 was updated to
include fees for Erosion Control and Stormwater Inspections. As of January 1st, 2021, these fees
will be collected on all projects for such inspections.
The Erosion Control fees are based on; the number of lots, the total site disturbance, the estimated
number of years the project will be active and the Stormwater Inspection Fees are based on the
number of LID/WQ Features that are designed for on this project. Based on the proposed site
construction associated with this project we are assuming 2 lots, 12.94 acres of disturbance, 2 years
from demo through build out of construction and an additional 2 years till full vegetative stabilization
due to seeding. Which results in an Erosion Control Fee estimate of $2,147.09
Based on 2 bioretention/rain gardens, 1 extended detention basin and 2 number of underground
treatment systems, results in an estimate of the Stormwater LID/WQ Inspection fee of $1,710.
I have provided a copy of the spreadsheet used to arrive at these estimates for your review.
RESPONSE: THANK YOU FOR PROVIDING THIS INFORMATION ON THE NEW FEES FOR
2021. WE ARE REFLECTING THESE IN OUR BUDGET AND WILL PAY WHEN DUE.

Comment Number: 16 Comment Originated: 02/16/2021
02/16/2021: FOR APPROVAL:
We have concerns about the dry well and inflow basin design - particularly that the top elevation of
this inflow basin will fill a considerable portion of the storm drain system with water. I would like to
discuss with you the need to add an onsite portable pump back up system to the Standard Operating
Procedures in the DA. Here is the text that has been added to the Standard Operating
Procedures document specific to this site:
“For this site, the drywell and infiltration basin are critical for the function of the site by providing the
drainage outlet for the majority of storm events. If the drywell and infiltration basin clog, the storm
drain system on this site will remain full of standing water. Maintenance of the drywell and infiltration
basin are essential for the functioning of the stormwater facilities on this site. A backup system will
be required for the drywell and infiltration basin, this shall consist of a portable pump, located
onsite, that can be used to drain the drywell and infiltration basin in the event stormwater ponding
occurs greater than 72 hours.”
Please acknowledge this comment and see the DA and SOP document for more information. Free
free to contact me to discuss.
RESPONSE: A PORTABLE PUMP WILL BE KEPT ON SITE IN CASE THE INFLOW BASIN BE
INADEQUATE TO DRAIN THE STORMWATER SYSTEM. TEXT WILL BE INCLUDED IN THE DA
AND SOP DOCUMENT TO IDENTIFY SUCH OBLIGATIONS.

BEEN OBTAINED AND THE FORMAL VARIANCE DOCUMENT IS ROUTED FOR SIGNATURE.
Comment Number: 18 Comment Originated: 02/19/2021
02/19/2021: FOR APPROVAL – UPDATED:
Follow up on comment 6 from FDP round 1. Verification from CDOT that the frontage road
improvements and drainage design have been approved by CDOT will be required for final approval
of development plans.
**Updated – more coordination will need to be performed with CDOT and the City to confirm the
design of the frontage road improvements meets CDOT and Larimer County Urban Area Street
Standards (LCUASS) – including drainage requirements. This is a situation of overlapping
jurisdiction. For Stormwater purposes, the drainage analysis needs to include all areas of the project,
including to the south end of the frontage road improvements. Drainage calculations need to be
provided for the area south of Redman Drive and an adequate outfall confirmed.
RESPONSE: AS DISCUSSED DURING MARCH 2ND CALL, FRONTAGE ROAD DRAINAGE HAS
BEEN REVISED TO DIRECT MORE FLOWS DOWN REDMAN DRIVE, THUS MINIMIZING ANY
DOWNSTREAM IMPACT TO THE FRONTAGE ROAD. AS DISCUSS DRAINAGE CALCULATED
HAVE BEEN ADDED TO THE DRAINAGE REPORT.
