Dear Eldon,
Staff has. reviewed your submittal for the Upper Meadow at Miramont,
Second Filing - Final P.U.D., and would like to offer the following
comments:
1. The parcel size in the legal description on all the plans is
11.38 acres and is shown as 11.42 acres in the Land Use
Breakdown on the Site Plan. Which is correct?
2. Is Boardwalk Drive already dedicated along the northeast side
of this development? If it is, the Subdivision Plat and Site
Plan could indicate "Existing ' wide R.O.W.".
3. A copy of the comments from U.S. West is attached to this
letter.
4. Public service company will require an 8' utility easement on
the east side of Boardwalk Drive, unobstructed by fences, for
the installation of a gas main along the entire length of the
Second Filing.
5. Highcastle Drive must connect to a public street network to
the south and west to provide a second point of access for
emergency access purposes.
6. The proposed street width for the two cul-de-sacs is not the
City standard 36' width. An analysis and variance request for
the narrower width must be submitted to the City for review.
A variance for the 28' width for Sawgrass Court and Bulrush
Court was not approved with the preliminary plat approval. At
the time of preliminary review the Engineering Department
noted that the cul-de-sacs were too long and serving too many
lots to be 28' wide. Poudre Fire Authority may support a
variance to the street width if all homes are provided with 3-
car garages. General Note 2 on the Site Plan does not commit
to all homes having 3-car garages.

7. Sub -drain design and street design comments from Engineering
are on redlined plans sent to the engineer.
8. The Water/Wastewater Department's comments have been sent to
the engineer on a redlined set of utility plans.
9. It is being recommended that a fescue blend sod grass be
substituted for bluegrass for reduced water consumption.
10. Parkland fees of $625 per dwelling unit -will be collected at
the time of issuance of building permits.
11. The park site that you are taking credit for on the
Residential Density Chart (Oak/Cottonwood) is shown on the
Parks & Recreation Master Plan but has not yet been purchased
by the City. The criteria states "existing or reserved .. ".
Also, the length of this filing that is contiguous to existing
urban development is 1004.631, or 35% of 'the development
boundary. This earns 20-25 % on the Density Chart. The total
earned credit is actually 55%-60%.
12. There is a "trail" that parallels the Mail Creek Ditch. Is it
proposed to be a trail or is it actually a ditch rider road?
The boundaries of the ditch should be labeled on the plans.
13. Fence details for the Boardwalk Drive, Highcastle Drive, and
all perimeter areas should be provided on the plans. General
Note 7 on the Site Plan does not adequately define the fencing
intent for this filing.
14. Who maintains the access easement on Sawgrass Court?
This completes the review comments at. this time. Additional
comments may be forthcoming as the various departments and
reviewing agencies continue to review this request. Please be aware
