Due to utility agency concerns regarding service to the lots west of the ravine, a Utility Coordination Meeting will be scheduled as soon as possible. At this meeting, all of the utility agencies that would provide service to this site will be represented, as well as Planning and Engineering staff, and will meet to resolve any utility service issues. A representative of this project (probably Dr. Musselwhite) will also be asked to attend. 2. Public Service Company requires an 8 foot easement on both sides of the 20' driveway and adjacent to Lots 5 - 8 around the cul-de-sac. (These comments will also be discussed at Utility Coordination). 3. US West typically occupies rear lot easements. The developer must provide a 30" trench for telephone cable. A joint trench for both telephone and electric in the driveway through the ravine may be provided. If providing a joint trench, the developer must coordinate activities of both utilities. 4. The developer must coordinate fire sprinkler water taps for Lots 5 - 8 with the water district. 5. Building envelopes must be dimensioned and tied to the lot lines in at least two places on each lot. 6. If building envelopes are noted on the plat, it would require a replat to allow any structure, or portion thereof, outside the envelope. Therefore, the applicant may want to remove envelopes from the plat. 7. The area of the open space needs to be noted on the site plan and plat. 8. Lot sizes on the site plan and plat must match. 281 North College avenue • P.O. Box 580 • Fort Collins. CO 80522-0580 • (303) 221-6750 ` • • 9. The landscaping intent for Lots 5 - 8 should be addressed on the landscape plan. Any references to landscaping intent made with the original plan submitted in 1990 need to be added to this current plan. 10. Minimum size for deciduous trees is 2" caliper, rather than 8- 101. Chokecherry size may be 5 gallon, rather than 8-101. 11. The City Forester recommends that Sargent Cottonwood populous sargentii be used in place of Freemont Cottonwood. The following species should also be considered for bio diversity: Sargent Cottonwood (4) Narrowleaf Cottonwood (4) Lanceleaf Cottonwood (5) 12. The attached planting details should be used in place of the details on the landscape plan. 13. The Botanical name for Rhus glabra should note "cismontana" as the variety. 14. Greater shrub diversity should be considered, using the following species: Golden Currant ribes aureum Wax Currant ribes cereum Three leaf Sumac rhus trilobata Red Stemmed Hawthorn crataequs erythropoda 15. The applicant has indicated that tree replacement would be at a rate of 2:1. With 10 trees proposed to be removed, the replacement, therefore, should be with at least 20 trees. 16. The "Revegetation Methodology Report" is referenced on the landscape plan. Has this been revised to address Planning and Zoning Board preliminary approval conditions? (see attached) 17. Street design was not included in the Utility Plans. 18. Current City standards for general notes, as well as the statement of engineer's liability, need to be used (see redlined utility plans). 19. The soils report, as well as any other relevant construction information should be referred to on the utility plans, for contractor use in the field. 20. The profile of the actual grade above utilities needs to be provided, to show that adequate cover is being provided. 21. Both the final drainage report and soils report were not submitted with the final plan submittal and are needed in order to complete our review of this project. 0 • 22. The following details need to be addressed on the plat: a. bearing and distance is missing for the POB; b. dimension street right-of-way; c. cul-de-sac minimum radius is 441; d. boundary monuments found and set must be described; e. reference the 20' sanitary sewer easement by County recording number; f. "City Planning" signature block should be changed to "Planning and Zoning Board" ... approved by the Planning and Zoning Board... Secretary of Board (rather than Director of Planning); g. Laurie Subdivision First Filing must be filed and recorded before this plat can be filed and recorded. Without the first filing, there is no access to this site. 23. A development agreement will be drafted by Mike Herzig of the Engineering Department. Typically, these agreements are available a short time prior to the public hearing. 24. The following conditions of preliminary approval need to be addressed: a. The language of the proposed conservation easement, including maintenance be reviewed by City staff during final review (we need to review this document prior to completing our final review). b. Tree and shrub removal plans be submitted for approval for Lots 8 and 9 (now lots 2 and 3 ) prior to the issuance of a building permit (a note reflecting this condition needs to be added to the site and landscape plans). C. Individual erosion control and revegetation plans be required for Lots 3, 6, 8 and 9 (now 2, 3, 5 and 8) prior to the issuance of a building permit, to ensure adequate treatment during construction and revegetation with compatible plant materials. on -site inspection, by City staff, throughout the construction process will be required, to ensure these plans are adhered to (a note reflecting this condition needs to be added to the site and landscape plans). d. Rip rap areas be designed to allow revegetation and that detailed plans for these sites be submitted for approval at the time of final review (no information was submitted to address this, to complete our final review of this project). e. Detailed plans and specifications regarding rip -rap materials, placement, size, etc. and other erosion control methods be submitted for final review (no information was submitted to address this, to complete our final review of this project). f. A detailed analysis, along with plans and specifications for rip -rap materials, placement, size etc. and other erosion control methods proposed to stabilize the ravine be submitted for final review (no information was submitted to address this, to complete our final review of this project). g. This condition, to redesign the east side of the ravine to no more than 4 lots, has been addressed. 25. In addition to noting items 23b and c above on the site and landscape plans, staff would recommend that these conditions, as well as Notes 5 - 7 on the landscape plan, be incorporated into the protective covenants for this development. Placing these items in the covenants provides an additional way of making prospective purchasers and subsequent owners aware of these requirements and the value and importance of existing vegetation and characteristics of this site. Notes 5 - 7 could also be addressed by delineating all areas on individual lots outside building envelopes as conservation easements. 26. The attached letter to the Applewood Estates HOA is intended to clarify whether any additional easement width will be required by the City, for the relocation of the existing Applewood irrigation ditch. Revised plans and documents, addressing these comments, must be submitted to my office on the following schedule: Noon, Wednesday, October 30, 1991 Noon, Tuesday, November 12, 1991 five copies of all plans and documents ten folded site and landscape plans, a rendered site or landscape plan, and an 8- 1/2 x 11" PMT Please note that since a final drainage report was not submitted and additional work is needed on the final utility plans, there is the potential that the review of this project may not be completed in time for the November 18, 1991 Planning and zoning Board hearing. Therefore, it is important that any information missing from the final submittal be provided as soon as possible, regardless of the deadlines mentioned above. • E If you have any questions or comments, please contact me at your earliest convenience.
