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" (version 2016.1) or “PDFSHX (version 2017 and
newer) in the command line and enter "0".

When your final plan or site-specific development plan gets approved, you have
up to three (3) years to finish all the necessary engineering work like water,
sewer, streets, and lighting.
This time frame is called the 'term of the vested property right.' If you don't finish
these improvements within this time, you'll lose your right to develop the property
without starting the approval process again.
o Applicant Response: Thank you for the clarification regarding the term of the vested
property right. We understand that once our final plan or site -specific development plan gets
approved, we have up to three years to complete all necessary engineering work including
water, sewer, streets, and lighting. We will ensure that all improvements are finished within
this time frame to maintain our development rights.

These water mains need to be potholed during the design phase to ensure
design will meet separation Criteria.
05/06/2025: FOR FINAL PLAN:
The water mains need to be potholed to confirm depth. Most likely, these mains

are not 6 feet to top of pipe. Could be 4 to 5 feet, which would provide a conflict
with the storm sewer.

With the new transformer location and the proposed meter location, the
secondary service will be ~300ft. The service will be customer owned and
maintained, so this is fine for Light and Power, but I wanted to make you aware
of this just in case you wanted to talk about moving the meter location closer to
the transformer or moving the transformer location closer to the meter.

09/29/2025: FOR FINAL APPROVAL:
In April 2024, City staff removed all bermudagrass species from the City's
Recommended Plant List due to staff concerns on growth rate, potential to
spread to natural landscapes and ease of establishment. This will not be a low
water use turf grass option until the City has a chance to complete its
literature and test plot reviews.
LUC Article 5.10.1(E)(2) only allows plants on this list to be used. You will need
to choose an alternative to Dog Tuff Bermudagrass for this landscape plan to
be approved. Consider using Buffalograss, Buffalo + Blue Grama, Sheep
Fescue, the City's Alkaline Upland Seed Mix, or low water use landscape beds
with shrubs and perennials. A mixture of these option may be optimal for this
site considering shade from existing trees. For more information on high water
use turf alternatives, the Colorado Native Grass Guide
(https://coloradonativegrass.org/grass-options/) and the Colorado WaterWise Document
(https://indd.adobe.com/view/796a9f0e-d28f-48b6-bebb-088396cb3c26) are
great resources.
If using grass seed, please put the City's Native Seed Mix Notes on the plan.
These notes will help ensure successful establishment.

o Applicant Response: Thank you for reviewing the plat and plan documentation for
Pedersen Toyota Filing One. We acknowledge that PSCo owns and operates existing
natural gas distribution facilities along the south property line and a service pipe to the
existing building. We will complete the application process via
xcelenergy.com/InstallAndConnect for any new natural gas service, or modification to
existing facilities, including relocation. We will ensure that the property owner, developer or
contractor contacts the Designer assigned to the project for approval of design details.
Additionally, we will make sure to call the Utility Notification Center by dialing 811 for utility
locates prior to construction as a safety precaution. If additional easements need to be
acquired by a separate PSCo document, we will contact the Right -of-Way Agent through
the Designer assigned to the project.
