Department: Engineering Issue Contact: Marc Virata Topic: General Number: 11 Created: 7/19/2005 [7/19/05] In field observations, the existing hydrant towards the southeast comer of the site appears to be directly in the path of the sidewalk proposed to be extended along the eastern boundary of the site. Is the drawing accurate with regards to the location of the hydrant in relation to the sidewalk? What will be the separation distance between the sidewalk and the hydrant? Number: 24 Created: 7/20/2005 [7/20/05] Please provide information as to where the emergency access easement (offsite) will be situated, The response letter indicates that the emergency access easement will Page 1 occur around the permiter of the site, however the drawings only indicate the portion off of Horsetooth. Will it connect out to Timberline? Number: 25 Created: 7/20/2005 [7/20/05] Letter of intent are required from all the affected offsite property owners, this includes Lot 3 and Lot 1 and involve various easements, (emergency access, landcaping, construction, drainage, etc.) Department: Light & Power Issue Contact: Monica Moore Topic: General Number: 1 Created: 7/11/2005 [7/11/05] Normal electric development charges and policies will apply to this development. Number: 2 Created: 7/11 /2005 [7/11/05] Developer will need to submit a Commercial Service Form (C-1) in order to size the transformer and determine electric requirements. Department: Natural Resources Issue Contact: Doug Moore Topic: General Number: 9 Created: 7/19/2005 [7/19/05] No issues. Department: Police Issue Contact: Joseph Gerdom Topic: General Number: 10 Created: 7/19/2005 [7/19/05] The two P5 fixtures next to building are buried in Burr Oaks - need to relocate these two light fixtures. Number: 12 Created: 7/19/2005 [7/19/05] The landscape plan shows a possible P5 fixture near the NE comer of the trash enclosure. This is an important location for employee access to trash/recycle enclosure. Would recommend deleting plant materials (DKL, RB) next to this location in favor of lower growing species (max height24"). Department: Stormwater Utility Issue Contact: Basil Harridan Topic: Grading Plan -- -- _ Number: 26 Created: 7/22/2005 [7/22/05] Please clarify how the swale that runs along the south, then east end of the site transition into the proposed curb and gutter on the east property line. Topic: Maintenance Number: 20 Created: 7/19/2005 [7/19/05] Please clarify who will maintain the off -site pond. If it is to be maintained by the overall developer (WW Reynolds) then a maintenance agreement should be provided detailing how the pond will be maintained. Topic: Off -site Easements Number: 18 Created: 7/19/2005 [7/19/05] Please provide copies of off -site construction and drainage easements on Lot 1 of the Tower Shoppes property. Letters of intent for these easement will be required prior to this item going to a hearing. Page 2 Topic: Swale Design Number: 19 Created: 7/19/2005 [7/19/05] Temporary swales carrying drainage water into the pond have a history of siltation and lack of proper maintenance. How will the Developer guarantee that these will be properly maintained ? A temporary (until Lot 1 develops) small diameter pipe might be a good way to ensure that the area where water comes off the site drains properly. Department: Transportation Planning Issue Contact: David Averill Topic: General Number: 13 Created: 7/19/2005 [7/19/05] With regards to the response to the conceptual review comments, specifically number 16 ..."After consulting with planning staff, it was agreed that a reduction in sidewalk width would be allowale as the sidewalk in question is not used as a path to the building". I do not believe that whether or not a sidewalk leads to a building bears much on reducing the standard width as specified in 3.2.2 of the LUC. Yes, this walkway would most likely not be used by patrons of the establshment to reach the building. However, it seems to me that said walkway would very likely be used by the "carhops"/servers to walk back and forth while serving patrons of Sonic. If the walk is reduced in width, servers may very well be forced to constantly walk in the drive aisle(s), behind parked vehicles, all the while in conflict with arriving/departing vehicles. Unless there is a compelling reason why the walk should be reduced to 7', it seems that it would help to create a much safer pedestrian (worker) environment to keep the standard width of 8'. Department: Water Wastewater Issue Contact: Jeff Hill Topic: General Number: 14 Created: 7/19/2005 [7/19/05] Include the standard general note pertaining to shrub/utility separation distance on the landscape plans.

Number: 17 Created: 7/19/2005 [7/19/05] See site, landscape and utility plans for other comments. Department: Zoning Issue Contact: Gary Lopez Topic: Zoning Number: 3 Created: 7/12/2005 [7/12/05] Signage approved through separate sign permit application submittal thus signs shown on this PDP not recognized as approval for such.
