07/03/2017: Prior to the finalization of this project, Utility Plan revisions will need to
be finalized with East Ridge Second Filing. Utility plan sheets for the irrigation line
are not yet finalized. The easement by separate document is needed first.

separate document instead of the plat? These waterline easements need to be
shown on the Utility Plans.

Comment Number: 9 Comment Originated: 06/28/2017
06/28/2017: Light & Power will likely need to utilize some tracts and their associated
easements to run primary power lines. Minimum distances from other utilities will
need to be adhered to. Please coordinate with Light & Power as early in your design
phase as is possible to avoid conflict with other utilities.

On behalf of the Boxelder Sanitation District (BSD), Farnsworth Group has reviewed
the Preliminary Development Plan of East Ridge 3rd Filing identified as:
1. Preliminary Plat Sheet 1-9
2. April 28, 2017 Response Letter from City of Fort Collins
3. East Ridge Third Filing Site Submittal - Final Development Plan
4. East Ridge Third Filing Landscape Submittal Final Development Plan
The District herebyadvises as follows:
There is no to this proposal.
0 objectionp p
0 Responses required to comments below.
D The District will respond at the hearing date of _Comments:
The District has reviewed this project and 2 previous submittals and additional
information has been added.
1) On sheet 1 of the Preliminary Plat there is a Sanitary Sewer Easement Note.
Clarify where the easements are that pertain to this note.
2) Tracts B, F, and J appear to be the tracts that will contain the sewers that will
ultimately be dedicated to the Boxelder Sanitation District. The plat indicates that
these tracts are to be maintained by the HOA. BSD will need to access these
Private Drives in the future and would like to see provisions in the HOA agreement
that specifically states BSD access and ability to maintain the sewers into the
future. The District is concerned about access for large vehicles in these narrow
Private Drives.
3) Sheet 4 of the Plat shows a vacation of sewer easement will be provided in
separate documents. Please provide the necessary documents.
4) A swimming pool has now been added to the plan. Swimming pools have a big
impact on the sewer system when they are drained. Provide documentation that
shows how the pool will be operated and how BSD will be notified about any
discharges from the pool to the sewer.
5) The District has reviewed the sewers in Tracts B, F and J after prior reviews and
feels that the 20-foot utility easement is inadequate for both water and sewer utilities.
BSD understands that this process has proceeded without discussion on this issue
and it may be too late for modifications. However, BSD expects to see similar
developments in the future and request consideration of how long-term operation of
their system is impacted by this type of high density development.
The District has adequate capacity to service the property referenced above. The
District is in full compliance with Federal and State water quality requirements. We
look forward to review future submittals on this project Please feel free to contact
me if you have any questions.

East Larimer County Water District (District) has reviewed and redlined the
documents received regarding the above project and has the following comments:
1. Utility Plans:
a. General layout of the water distribution network appears appropriate and follows
previously submitted drawings (PDP). Per discussion with developer and engineer,
revisions will be made to some of the waterlines and water service (and meter)
locations to provide single metered water service to the attached single-family units
(3, 4 and 5-plex units).
b. Easements: Locations to be verified and easements granted following revisions
noted above (1.a).
c. Irrigation Taps: Irrigation tap locations must be identified and shown on the utility
drawings.
2. Landscape Plans:
a. District staff communicated to the design engineer that meter locations must not
be encumbered by shrubs or trees within a minimum 5-ft radius of the meter, or 8-ft
radius of a water service line. Future landscape plans will need to show water lines
and service lateral locations in relation to landscaping to insure adequate separation
(no service lines shown on current landscape plans).
b. LP405: See attached redlines re: tree separation from service line(s)
c. LP406: See attached redlines re: plantings/shrub separation from valve
Drawing redlines are available at the District office for pickup (contact has been
made with design engineer). Return redlines with next round of revisions for use in
backchecking.
Please contact me if there are additional questions regarding this review.

Sheet A3.02-C: Need to distinguish this design type from other 4-plex models. It
does not appear to be a craftsman design so suggest using titles such as Model-A,
B etc. Need to add call-outs for building materials, colors or other design
characteristics.

10/01/2017: Phasing Plans— please verify that you intend to build the upstream
segment of storm drain C as part of Phase 1 B (this segment actually located within
the extents of Phase 1C). I just want to be sure since the construction installation
and the drainage certification requirements for each phase will need to match what
is shown on the phasing plans.

10/01/2017: Grading Plans—
There are some labels shown on the driveways at the corner units of some of the
buildings that either show the driveway grade at the garage face or the finished
grade at that location. Just a note to say that some of these elevations are -r0.5'
below the others.
The grades along the railroad embankment look to be steeper than 3:1 in some
areas. These areas may need to be surfaced with ECB's or something similar?
There are still a few buildings shown that look to have minimal slope away from the
foundation. Typical geotechnical recommendations are that the FG is required to be
at least 6 inches below FF and there is also a 5-10% slope away from the
foundation. (Please verify with your geotech). I just want to make sure that you aren't
creating inadvertent low spots that don't drain anywhere and create inadequate
drainage issues and neighbors complaining.
Please note that swales less than 2% will be required to have either a soft pan
section (> 1%) or a concrete pan (< 1%). Please include details for these pans. Call
me if you need a detail for a soft pan.

10/01/2017: Storm Sheets—There are several storm pipe runs that look like they
could be shallower. I've noted these locations on the redlined plans. For private
storm systems outside of the ROW, we are ok with shallower pipes and do not
require a minimum depth as long as you can show that the 100-yr HGL is still below
FG.
