Dear George,
The staff has reviewed the site plan for the 1990 Elementary School and offers
the following comments:
1. In the past, wider street sidewalks have been provided directly in front of
the newer elementary school sites to facilitate the expected high pedestrian
traffic. Staff would recommend that you consider the wider walks for the
1990 school.
2. A street name should be proposed for the street fronting the school site.
The City maintains a list of names for collector and arterial streets from
which a name should be selected.
3. A handicapped ramp for pedestrians should be provided at the pedestrian
crossing area at the intersection of the public streets directly fronting the
school site. Also, this handicapped ramp should be connected to the street
sidewalk.
4. The existing 20-in. water main in Horsetooth Road must be extended to the
west limit of Horsetooth Road construction. The City's Water Utility will
pay for the oversizing from a 12-in. to 20-in. water main. Another water
main must be constructed from the 20-in. in Horsetooth north past the
school. This main will be used to provide water service for the school.
5. A sanitary sewer main must be built from an existing main in Taft Hill
Road to the school site. This sewer main will be built in the east -west
collector which -parallels and is north of Horsetooth Road.
6. An eight foot minimum width utility easement adjoining the west right-of-
way line of the N-S street in front of the school will be required from
Horsetooth Road north to the north line of the school site for installation
and maintenance of a natural gas line.
7. A vicinity map on the site plan locating the proposed school site would be
very helpful.

8. Is there any fencing planned for the school site? If so, please indicate on
site plan.
9. Site plan should indicate the extent of off -site improvements being installed
with the school.
10. The landscape plans that were submitted were for another school. We
would like the opportunity to review the specific plans for the 1990 school.
12. Five copies of the revised plans indicating the needed changes as indicated
above should be delivered to this office no later than April 5, 1989.
13. Ten copies of the site plan, building elevations and landscape plans should
be delivered to this office by April 17. Also at that time 8 1/2" x 11"
PMT. reductions of the plans should be provided.
Thank you for the opportunity to review these plans. The Planning and Zon-
ing Board will conduct a public hearing on the matter at their April 24, 1989
meeting. If you should have any questions, please feel free to call me.
