Dear Eldon,
Stan has reviewed your documents for the Stetson Creels PUD, Third & Fourth Filings -
Preliminary and the Stetson Creek PUD, Third Filing - Final that were submitted to the City
on January' 1996, and would like to offer the following comments:
Stetson Creek PUD, Third & Fourth Filings - Preliminary:
Columbine CableVision would like to have the T racts marked as recreational open space
and utility, drainage, and pedestrian access easements. Also, could the rear lot easements
be marked on the map as such, not just referred to in the Notes on the subdivision plat.
2. Public Service Company has offered the following comments:
a. Planting of trees must be coordinated/controlled by the developer so that no trees
are planted within 4' of any gas lines.
b. The installation/paving of the temporary turnaround at the east end of Rock Creek
Drive may have to be delayed until after installation of natural gas mains. The
developer needs to coordinate this item closely with PSC-
C
. There may need to be a 13' front lot utility easement through Lot 39.
d. At culvert structures 228 & 706, the developer will have to provide sleeves
underneath these structures for natural gas lines, per PSC specifications. The
developer needs to coordinate this item closely with PSC.
A copy of the comments received from U.S. West is enclosed with this letter.

4. Police Services has stated that Woody Creek Court needs to be renamed - this street

street name and must be changed.

the Site & Landscape Plan:

tree/streetlight standards.
8. The Stormwater Utility has stated that the preliminary submittal for the Stetson Creek
PUD, Third & fourth filings meets the Stormwater Utility's requirements for a preliminary
drainage report and utility plans. A re -submittal of the preliminary utility plans is not
needed for the Stormwater Utility. Please refer to the final submittal for Stetson Creek
PLD, Third Filing for detailed comments.

b. Note 3 should add ... (other than the City of Fort Collins)... at the end of the note.
C. Note 9 would infer that the street trees in the parkway along Stetson Creek Drive
would be installed by the homeowner. The developer should be responsible for
these trees and the Site & Landscape Plan should reflect this.
d. Note 11 does not apply to preliminary PUD's and should be removed from plan.
e. Note 14 is unnecessary and inappropriate and should be removed from the plan.
