Dear Frank:
Staff has reviewed the PACE at Fossil Creek West PUD final plan and has the
following comments to make:
1. Light and Power requires a 15' utility easement outside of the State
Highway r-o-w along College Avenue.
2. Utility easements adjoining Fossil Creek Parkway r-o-w will have to be
provided, even though the land on both sides of the parkway is unplatted.
Street trees should not be planted a minimum of 6' from any natural gas
line. Utility coordination with the various agencies is recommended.
3. All parking areas need to be designated as access easements.
4. The applicant must provide documents showing capability of the water
supply system to provide the required fire flows.
5. An additional fire hydrant needs to be provided near the southeast corner
of the building.
6. "No parking - fire lane" signs need to be posted along the north and south
curb lines, adjacent to the building.
7. When parcel C is platted, r-o-w for the City's Fossil Creek trail needs to be
dedicated as part of an access easement.
8. Construction of the mitigation area needs to be done in a manner that does
not preclude the future construction of a trail along Fossil Creek. A
minimum 20' wide bench should be maintained through the mitigation area
for this future trail.
9. Easements should be shown on the site plan matching those shown on the
subdivision plat.
10. All signs must comply with the sign code. As one lot, this property is
entitled to one free standing sign. The off -premises sign requires a State
Highway permit, as well as a City permit. Specific details on the proposed
sign (size, character, illumination) need to be provided.

11. A future connection to the property to the south should be pursued, in lieu
of the connection to the north, through the mitigation area.
12. Designs for the interim road alignment, as well as the final alignment for
Fossil Creek Parkway need to be submitted.
13. Landscape plans addressing plant material to be installed along the interim
alignment of Fossil Creek Parkway need to be provided.
14. Additional landscaping should be provided along the south wall of the
building and along the south property line, to soften the building's south
elevation. Additional coniferous trees need to be provided along the west
side of Fossil Boulevard and along the east side of the creek, in the
mitigation area.
15. Note #5 on the landscape plan should be changed to reflect the provision
of an automatic irrigation system.
16. An improved transition to grade needs to be provided at the southeast
corner of the site.
17. The landscape plan and utility/grading plans need to be coordinated,
particularly for the mitigation area south of Fossil Creek Parkway and the
existing wetlands area north of Fossil Creek Parkway. This can best be
accomplished by showing finish contours on the landscape plan and
showing the mitigation and existing wetlands area on the utility plans.
18. Maintenance and irrigation of landscaping in medians and street trees will
be the developer's responsibility.
19. The sidewalk along College Avenue should be detached.
20. The site plan needs to show r-o-w lines and property lines, to determine
the Fossil Creek Parkway alignment's impact on Fossil Creek and property
owned by the Homeowners' Association. if ;'ic=c is ii::pct on
property, it will be the developer's responsibility to acquire any necessary
easements or r-o-w for road construction and to do any necessary
mitigation for impact to Fossil Creek.
21. A sedimentation and erosion control plan, addressing construction and long
term impacts of the project, needs to be provided.
22. Additional information to update the preliminary design of erosion control
structures referenced in the Fossil Creek Basin Master Drainage Plan needs
to be provided.
23. The design and construction of erosion control structures located between
the railroad and College Avenue and the design and placement of riprap
located east of College Avenue (as per the Fossil Creek Basin Master
Drainage Plan) will be the developer's responsibility.

24. Confirmation of the size of the wetland areas is needed and should be
done in the field using the three parameter approach. Acreages of
wetlands to be created and disturbed should be stated by type. This
should include wetianus disturbea by any sicc grading or roadways.
25. Documentation, in the form of a letter, should be provided showing that
the Army Corps of Engineers has approved of the proposed wetland
modifications.
26. Additional information on the design, expected results, establishment and
maintenance of the wetlands/mitigation areas needs to be provided.
27. Information describing how environmentally sensitive areas will be protected
during construction needs to be provided.
28. Additional information regarding the proposed energy management system
needs to be provided, in order to evaluate the credit given for energy
conservation.
29. Additional information detailing the planting and maintenance of the
retaining wall needs to be provided.
By noon on Wednesday. February 8. 1989, three copies of the revised site plan
addressing these comments must be submitted to this office. By Tuesday,
February 21, 1989 ten (10) folded sets of the site plan, a colored rendering
(unfolded) and an 8-1/2" x 11" PMT reduction must be submitted.
If you have any questions or would like to meet with me to discuss these
comments, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Sincerely,

The following are Natural Resource's Comments on the Pace Warehouse Final Plan:
11) The grading plan does not match the site plan - properly delineated existing
wetland areas should be shown on the grading plan of the utility drawings.
2) Wetland areas should be delineated in the field using the three parameter
approach. Acreages of wetlands to be created and disturbed should be stated by
type. This should include wetlands disturbed by any site grading or roadways.
13) Documentation (a letter) needs to be recieved showing that the Army Corps
of Engineers has approved of the proposed wetland modifications.
14) A plan for irrigation and maintenance of the mitigation area needs to be
provided.
5) Some changes in plant material selection and location need to be made. Also,
the number of trees and shrubs should be increased. See Bob Wilkinson in the
Natural Resource Division for more information.
6) A comment should be put on the site plan concerning the types of revegetation
which will be done at the relocation site for Fossil Creek Parkway.
