Dear Jim,
Staff has reviewed your documentation for the PRESTON-KELLEY 2"d SUBDIVISION
(Two Lots) - Project Development Plan (Administrative Review, Type I, Land Use
Code) that was submitted to the City on August 31, 1999, and would like to offer the
following comments:
Jim Hoff of the City's Mapping/Drafting Department stated that the legal
description and plat map close; therefore, the submitted subdivision plat appears
to be OK.
2. Doug Martine of the Light & Power Department stated that he had no
comments regarding this request.
3. Dennis Greenwalt of AT&T Cable Services (cable television) stated that they
would like to see a 13' wide utility easement along East Harmony Road and the
Minor Road (County Road 9).
4. Basil Hamdan of the Stormwater Utility offered the following comments:
a. There are several drainage facilities that serve both properties, such as
the large drainage swale that runs along the north boundary of the
properties and the detention ponds located at the east end of the
proposed Lot 1 of the Preston -Kelley 2Id Subdivision.
b. It is being recommended that, at the least, the larger drainage facilities
such as the large swale and detention ponds be placed in a permanent
public easement. Cross easements may be needed for smaller drainage
facilities serving both lots, but they would not be required to be public.

C. Alternatively, the applicant may choose to place the entire site in a blanket
drainage, utility and emergency access easement while excluding all
building envelopes from such easement.
Please contact Basil, at 224-6035, if you have questions about these comments.
5. Jeff Hill of the Water/Wastewater Department stated that, depending upon the
outcome of the discussions regarding the water and sanitary sewer service for
the 2 lots, there may be a need for additional utility easements. Jeff can be
reached at 221-6681 if you have questions about this comment.
6. Jim Slagle of Public Service Company of Colorado stated that PSC gas lines
that cross from Lot 1 into Lot 2, or from Lot 2 into Lot 1, must be shown as
centered within a platted 15' wide PSC easement. All PSC gas lines on the site
should be field -located prior to the easements being platted to ensure that the
gas lines fall within the easements. Jim can be reached at (970)225-7843 if you
have questions about this comment.
7. Dave Stringer of the Engineering Department offered the following comments:
a. All owners of interest (of the property being subdivided) must sign the
subdivision plat as per Section 2.2.3(C)(3)(a) through (i) of the Land Use
Code LUC).
b. Revise the subdivision plat language to reflect the new language (see
comments on enclosed red -lined plat).
c� The necessary emergency/access easements must be included on and
dedicated with this subdivision plat.
d. Drainage easements that carry off -site flows from public or private
property need to be in public drainage/utility easements. It is being
suggested that you lay out building envelopes and dedicate the remainder
as blanket easements.
e� Additional street right-of-way adjacent to County Road 9 (possibly 15')
and East Harmony Road (possibly 17') may be necessary.
Please contact Dave, at 221-6750, if you have questions about these comments.

this.
