Response: Thank you Department: Park Planning Contact: Missy Nelson mnelson@fcgov.com Topic: General Comment Number: 2 07/10/2024: FOR FINAL APPROVAL - UNRESOLVED: On utility plan sheets OU1 & OU2 (see redline), adjust where the development will sleeve the City's irrigation/mainline under the drive. Add to notes: - Sleeve locations shall be marked on concrete. Please add the irrigation drip line on the same utilities sheets as above since the street trees on the southeast portion of this property merge into private property. I just want to make sure it's clear that this line is to remain the City's responsibility. Unless the Development wants to take over that irrigation line as well? (Forestry would otherwise still maintain the trees themselves). 04/30/2024: FOR FINAL APPROVAL - PARTIAL REPEAT: - Thank you for clarifying that the development will take over landscaping and installing new irrigation from back of walk. - A new sheet in the Utility Plan set will need to be provided to show where the development will sleeve the City's irrigation/mainline under the drive. This sheet shall also show which zones you will be taking over. Sleeve locations marked on concrete. - Coordination on whom and when the disconnect will happen will need to be coordinated with Parks (sooner is better). Parks staff will need to meet with landscaper performing the work on site. (please coordinate with Missy). 01/02/2024: FOR FINAL APPROVAL: Please see the redlines on the Landscape plans. In general, Parks would like to discuss the following: - Currently, there is irrigation that was installed on the backside of the sidewalks for the native grass areas. Along the northern area of Lemay, if that area of the right-of-way is to remain under Parks maintenance, that maintenance will only consist of mowing approximately once per year (basically just as weed 5 management) and watering, once established, only as needed. Is this the look your development wants to have? - Same question about the smaller native grass areas along the rest of Lemay and Suniga. Please also note, the native grass areas next to the planting beds may cause weediness in those areas. - A new sheet in the Utility Plan set will need to be provided to show where the development will sleeve the City's irrigation/mainline under the drive. This sheet shall also show which zones you will be taking over. Sleeve locations marked on concrete. - Coordination on whom and when the disconnect will happen will will need to be coordinated with Parks. Please set up a meeting to discuss any of these items. Response: Sheets OU1 & OU2 have been revised, The developer will take over the drip line for the trees as that will be cleaner and simpler. This submittal also includes the final irrigation plans. Please note that some of the existing trees will be located in turf grass and these trees do not have drip to them per city code.
