06/21/2022: INFORMATION:
All plans should be saved as optimized/flattened PDFs to reduce file size and remove layers.
Per the Electronic Submittal Requirements AutoCAD SHX attributes need to be removed from the PDF’s.
AutoCAD turns drawing text into comments that appear in the PDF plan set,
and these must be removed prior to submittal as they can cause issues with the
PDF file. The default setting is "1" ("on") in AutoCAD. To change the setting
and remove this feature, type "EPDFSHX" in the command line and enter "0".

06/20/2023: FOR HEARING: There is a list of easements involving letters of
Page 3 of 14
intent for dedication or vacating; and a list of needed signatures on Final Plans.
These topics should be clearly understood by all involved. As a follow up to the meeting,
an organized list of these would seem to be useful. Or, if it all becomes clear at the meeting, then great.

1/28/2024: FOR FINAL - email sent today as a heads up that I think there will
HAVE to be irrigation in the extensive areas that have this designation. This
isn’t critical for hearing but I will be recommending removal of the prefix “Non“ in Final -Plans.If you
disagree, let me know!
RESPONSE: We disagree. The native will be irrigated through the establishment period and any
mitigation but the intent is to be able to turn the water off once the native is well established.

03/27/2024: FOR FINAL APPROVAL:
This matter will have to be solved between the affected prior to final approval.
RESPONSE: Acknowledged. We are still working with the adjacent property owner.
06/13/2023: FOR HEARING - UNRESOLVED:
Waiting on the LOI. Will look for signature block on plat in FDP. Technical
Services can give details on what that signature block could look like. This LOI
can also pertain to the existing drainage easement on the west side of the site
since they will need the same party to sign.
03/14/2023: FOR HEARING - UNRESOLVED:
This easement is a private easement that was conveyed from the western
property to this property (20150068972). The easement will need to be
depicted on the plat and identified as to be vacated. The western property
owner will have to sign the plat. For the hearing, we will need a LOI from the
western property owner. This will ultimately require the developer and the
property owner to the west to negotiate and find some sort of resolution.
Otherwise, this easement derails the design in its current iteration.
01/03/2023: FOR HEARING: - UNRESOLVED:
The sanitary easement is not noted in the plat. It'll need the reception number
and a note specifying that it is to be abandoned.
09/21/2022: FOR HEARING:
There is an existing sanitary sewer easement shown in the demolition plan that
is not shown anywhere else. Do you have any additional details about that
easement? Is it going to be abandoned? Is it a private easement?
Comment Number: 29
06/13/2023: FOR FINAL PLAN - UNRESOLVED:
Utility plans indicate the partial vacation of easements while the plat shows
otherwise. Please indicate where partial vacations are to occur on the plat, and
depict what is to be done with the easements consistently. See redlines. Please
reach out with any questions.
RESPONSE: Plat and plans should be consistent.
09/21/2022: FOR HEARING:
Page 4 of 14
There are easements not being consistently shown across the plans or the plat.
Please revise. See redlines on sheets 28 and 30.
Comment Number: 31
06/20/2023: FOR FINAL PLANS:
Downgrading to final plans. The Mountain States (now Lumen/CenturyLink)
easement does not need to be vacated since there is actively a utility there. The
LOI can still serve as an acknowledgment of undergrounding the utility and
dedicating overlapping ROW. Does Lumen want to vacate the easement? If
Lumen is okay with vacating the easement, The City will want the Lumen comms
line moved within the newly dedicated easement along Willox. Will also be
looking for Lumen signature block in the plat.
RESPONSE: Lumen is okay with not vacating the easement and just allowing the ROW to overlap.
03/02/2023: FOR HEARING - UNRESOLVED:
The plat in round 1 shows the easement running through the additional 12 feet of
ROW dedicated along Willox. This seems to be the accurate depiction of the
easement based on the legal language of the original easement dedication.
Mountain States has senior right to the ROW being dedicated and should be
shown/labeled and retained on the plat. (For final plan) The LUC does require
overhead utilities to be undergrounded as well, so you will need to work with
them on undergrounding that line.
01/04/2023: FOR HEARING:
There is now an easement from Mountain States along Willox. Is this a public or
private easement? If private, we also need a LOI from them. Does it terminate
at the property line? We will need a callout and reception number on the plat.
Comment Number: 37
06/13/2023: FOR FINAL APPROVAL:
Please change the wording on the easements to be vacated in the utility plans -
"BY THIS PLAT" should be removed since it is not a plat.
RESPONSE: Wording has been revised.

The plans show two different symbols for the railroad marking stencil. Please
use one. The railroad stencil should be moved east further outside the
intersection. The bottom of the X in the stencil should be 460 feet from the stop
bar, and looks like it could be moved 5-6 feet. The railroad advance sign will
need to be adjacent to the stencil.
RESPONSE: The markings have been shifted and the sign is adjacent to the stencil.

06/21/2022: FOR FINAL PLAN
We will want to see the existing railroad crossing pavement symbols/markings
and signs on the plans, to see how the proposed Willox Ln. access location may
impact them. If the existing markings and signs need to be relocated, the
applicant will need to work with the railroad to determine the appropriate
location for those to meet railroad and MUTCD standards.
Comment Number: 6
09/26/2022: FOR FINAL PLAN
Further signing and striping comments will be provided during final. You will
need to signs internal to the development within the Utility Plans. Stop signs will
also need to be placed on the Landscape Plans, and trees should not be
planted within 50 feet on the approach to them.
RESPONSE: Understood and acknowledged. Stop signs have been placed on the Utility plans.

Based upon the supplied materials, site disturbs more than 10,000 sq. ft. and/or
meets one of the other triggering criteria (sensitive area, steep slopes, or larger
common development) that would require Erosion and Sediment Control
Materials to be submitted. Please provide an erosion control plan for 'Final Plan
or approval Submittal'. This project disturbs 5 or more acres so erosion control
phasing materials will need to be provided in the erosion control plans, reports and
escrow. Please ensure that the Erosion Control Plans, Escrows, and Reports
include phasing requirements (FCSCM Ch 2 Section 6.1.3, 6.1.4, & 6.1.5)
Based upon the supplied materials, site disturbs more than 1 acre or is part of a

03/02/2023: The City Manager’s development review fee schedule under City
Code 7.5-2 was updated to include fees for Erosion Control and Stormwater
Inspections. As of January 1st, 2021, these fees will be collected on all projects
for such inspections. The Erosion Control fees are based on; the number of lots,
the total site disturbance, the estimated number of years the project will be
active. Based on the proposed site construction associated with this project we
are assuming 67 lots, 19.01 acres of disturbance, 4 years from demo through
build out of construction and an additional 3.00 years till full vegetative
stabilization due to seeding. Which results in an Erosion Control Fee estimate of $5,605.35.
Please note that as the plans and any subsequent review modifications of the
above-mentioned values change the fees may need to be modified. I have
provided a copy of the spreadsheet used to arrive at these estimates for you to
review. Please respond to this comment with any changes to these assumed
estimates and why, so that we may have a final fee estimate ready for this
project. The fee will need to be provided at the time of erosion control escrow.
The Stormwater Inspection Fees are based on the number of LID/WQ Features
that are designed for on this project. Based on the plans we identified 0 number
of porous pavers, 1 number of bioretention/level spreaders, 0 number of
extended detention basins, and 0 number of underground treatments, results in
an estimate of the Stormwater LID/WQ Inspection fee to be $ $315.00 . Please
note that as the plans and any subsequent review modifications of the
above-mentioned values change the fees may need to be modified. I have
provided a copy of the spreadsheet used to arrive at these estimates for you to review.
Please respond to this comment with any changes to these assumed estimates
and why, so that we may have a final fee estimate ready for this project. The fee
will need to be provided at the time of erosion control escrow. "
RESPONSE: The Erosion Control Escrow has been submitted with this FDP 1. The fee calculated above
will need to be recalculated due to the number of lots dec reasing.

After discussions with stormwater field managers, the city does not want an
Page 7 of 14
inverted siphon on the 30-inch storm sewer. The city would prefer a conflict
manhole at this location depending on the existing storm sewer inverts. Early in
final plan review, please coordinate with city utilities on design.
RESPONSE: Understood. We have eliminated the siphon by eliminating the sewer main connect through
the park. We have provided another solution for review.

In order to provide more spacing for the sanitary sewer line, the city would like to
look into potential modifications to the existing set of 8-inch storm lines that run
through the parking lot.
RESPONSE: We are no longer providing a sewer main through the park. The water main can easily bend
under these 8 inch storm lines. We will not be revising these storm lines with this project.

The city requires that all swales have a minimum of 0.5% while using concrete
pans. It appears that a section of the eastern lot line swale is at 0.2%, please
revise. It appears that the northern section of the swale is steeper, if this were
reduced it would help increase the slope of the 0.2% section.
RESPONSE: All swales have been revised to have a minimum of 0.5% slope.

06/20/2023: FOR HEARING - UPDATE:
The private drainage easement along the western boundary needs to be
rededicated to a public drainage easement. The easement is owned by the
property owner to the west, and therefore, we will need to see a LOI with their
signature for the project to progress to hearing. The city has not had any
discussions with the property owner, and will not plan to. This is an agreement
between two private entities, and the city does not get involved with these matters.
RESPONSE: We have let the adjacent property owners know that the city would like to dedicate this
easement as public. We will continue to work with them.
03/14/2023: FOR HEARING:
There is a private drainage easement dedicated along the western boundary.
Please coordinate with the owner to west to determine if they would allow the
private drainage easement to be vacated and replaced with a public drainage
easement. We will need to see a LOI of this before hearing.

06/16/2023: FOR FINAL COMPLIANCE:
What was the purpose of raising the grading around the trail? Does this impact
the drainage patterns of the park? Appears there is a location with no outlet and
will cause ponding (see redline).
RESPONSE: We have provided an outlet for that area, therefore there won’t be any ponding. We have
eliminated the berm through the park by removing the sewer main. The concrete trail should drain as it
historically has.

As the drainage will be conveyed through both parks and natural areas property,
an easement will be required from both entities. As Natural Areas will be taking
lead on this a single LOI, that addresses the needs of both Parks and NA, will
be required before this project can progress to hearing. There is still internal
discussions to the length of the easement needed for natural areas.
RESPONSE: Understood. We have provided Natural Areas with the drainage easement and deliverables
they have requested. We will continue to work with them on this easement.
01/09/2023: PRIOR TO HEARING - Update:
To be approved for hearing, the city needs to receive a Letter of Intent regarding
the offsite drainage easement through the park. This Letter of Intent should be

Swale A5 has a slope between 0.5% and 1%; therefore, a concrete pan is
required to help adequately convey flows.
RESPONSE: Concrete pans have been added in areas necessary.
01/09/2023: FOR FINAL COMPLIANCE - UPDATE
The swale to the east should at least be 0.5%, we noticed that the eastern swale
was recorded as 0.4%. Please add concrete pans to the swales that are less
than 1%.
09/23/2022: FOR FINAL COMPLIANCE:
Discussion will be needed on whether a pan is desirable or not. Swales with

Further discussion and review is needed related to the stormwater outflow
options given that Tufted loosestrife (Lysimachia thyrsiflora), a sensitive and
rare plant species, has been found in the oxbow feature of Magpie Meander
Natural Area. The pertinent departments on the City's side would be
Environmental Planning, Natural Areas Department, Parks, and Stormwater.
Some fact-finding will need to occur (what is the specie's distribution on the site,
what are the specifi edaphic and hydrological requirements, etc.) and potential
options explored (i.e., are there engineered non-directional flow solutions like level spreaders?).
