Re: Chaparral P.U.D., Preliminary submittal
Dear Debbie;
Having reviewed your staff comments pertaining to the review of
the above referenced project, and having met with you, Mike Herzig
and Glen Schlueter to discuss said comments, I enclose copies of
the revised drawings and offer the following information.
1. The location of the Storm Sewer under the curb and gutter is
consistent with previous projects. Mike Herzig indicated he will
speak with the affected utility companies to verify their concerns
with this location. No deveation from this location is planned at
this time.
2. The referenced fire hydrant has been moved east, as shown on
the Preliminary Plat.
3. It is understood that the City will not maintain the common
opera space.
4. The range of lot sizes is shown by a note on Preliminary Site
Plan. Lot areas will be shown on the individual lots on the Final
Plat.
5. It is understood that prior to the issuance of a C.O.,
landscaping will be in place or an acceptable guarantee for the
placement of the landscaping will be submitted to the city. At the
time of Final Site Plan, we will provide the City with an example
of a Landscaping Certificate that we propose to use in leu of a
letter of credit for the required individual lot landscaping. Also
at the time of Final Site Plan, we will work out a phasing
schedule with the City tieing the improvements of the common open
space to the phasing of lot development.
6. It is understood that all signs will conform to the sign
code.
7. As discussed with Mike Herzig, the suggested sanitary sewer
connection between Laredo Court and Laredo Lane is not necessary
to provide service to this specific development. If it is being
requested by the City to relieve some larger regional collection
problem, it should not be this developers responsibility to bear
the expense of this improvement. Mike is to check further with the
wastewater utility regarding this.

B. It is understood that no structures can be placed in the
sewer easement crossing Lot 1, Block 2. The building envelope as
shown on the Site Plan reflects this restriction.
9. The sewer between Lots 14 and 15, Block 2, has been adjusted
to be generally centered in the 20 foot easement, as shown on the
Preliminary Plat.
10. The referenced water pressure note has been added to the Site
Plan and Preliminary Plat.
11. The Cactus Court R.O.W. has been standardized, with the
excess area being included in Lots 7 and 8, as shown on all
drawings
12. The east -west street is a portion of Laredo Court and has
been labeled as such on the drawings.
13. Access ramp locations have been added to all drawings.
14. The ten street trees of the size and type requested by the
City have been added to the Site Plan. It should be noted that the
specific location of these trees will be subject to the existence
of several utilities in the vicinity. We feel that with the
addition of these requested trees, and in light of the stand of
large existing trees to be preserved, our plan for the open space
landscaping is sufficient.
15. Curvilenear storm sewer was approved in this same location in
1981 with the Wagon Wheel Filing No. 3 plans, and again in 1985
with the replat as Casa Grande F.U.D. It is our understanding that
the 1985 approval is still in force. It should be noted that based
on those previous designs and approvals, utilities., including a
curvilenear sanitary sewer have been constructed in this immediate
vicinity, and subsequent storm sewer placement will be restricted
by these existing constraints. We will be submitting a letter
requesting a variance from current standards to allow for the
construction of this curvilenear storm sewer.
16. The requested information has been added to the Grading and
Drainage plan, and is included in the attached exhibits. It should
be noted that we anticipate being able to provide approximately
0.5 feet of freeboard, as shown in the attached exhibits. It is
understood that at time of final submittal, we will detail the
hydraulic grade line, as requested by Glen Schlueter.
17. This incorrect basin designation will be corrected at time of
final submittal.
18. It is understood that erosion control will be provided during
construction. We will select and detail the specific method of
said control at the time of final submittal.

19. It was my understanding from Ted Shepard, early on in this
process, that no amendments to the Master Plan would be required
for this, project. you indicated that you would check on this, and
also check on the magnitude of the amendment process, if required.
I await your reply and reserve further discussion on this.
20. The applicant has agreed to provide the requested street tree
per lot, and a note regarding these trees has been added to the
Site Plan. The applicant would like to explore with the City the
option of providing a Landscaping Certificate to the home buyer
for these trees (see comment #5).
If any further discussion is needed regarding these items, please
feel free to contact me.
I will be submitting the requested reductions, renderings and
prints by November 9th.
Respectfully;
Daniel Herlihey
