A traffic study update must be submitted with the development application. C. Pedestrian access between existing office buildings and the new "proposed" office park will be required. d. Standard utility plans must be submitted and a development agreement will be required for all public improvements. e. All new street construction must conform to City street standards. f. The Engineering Department could support the proposed access plan if the City does in fact purchase the land south of this property for open space (no further development). However, a state highway access permit is needed for the entire site. g. Permanent cul-de-sacs are required at all dead ends. h. Changing the name of Fossil Creek Drive to Cameron Drive would require an action by City Council. Staff suggests that the street remain as Fossil Creek Drive.

The property is located in the Fossil Creek Drainage Basin. The Stormwater Development Fees for this basin are $2,275 per acre based upon the amount of impervious surface area and the amount of on -site detention provided, due at the issuance of building permit. b. A standard drainage and erosion control report (update) must be prepared and submitted by a Colorado licensed engineer. C. Grading issues may be a problem on this site. d. An off -site easement from the outfall of the site to the pipe passing water under Highway 287 is required even though the project was platted in the county (per Paul Eckman, Deputy City Attorney). There is still a change in runoff on the neighboring property. Please contact Glen Schlueter at 221-6589 with any questions regarding these comments. 7. The Natural Resources Department has looked at the property to the south of this proposal and talked with the property owner about acquisition of the adjacent property for open space. There are wetlands throughout the property to the south. Portions of these wetlands do extend onto the Fossil Creek Office Park (Cameron Park PUD) property. Building areas will s need to be established for Lots 13 and 14 in particular to insure adequate buffering. Site characteristics (steep slopes, ponds, wetlands, rock outcroppings) will dictate sensitivity in engineering the site. A natural corridor should be provided which connects the existing ponds which are on the site. The Natural Resources Department will need to look at the Utility Plans when submitted. Please contact Rob Wilkinson at 221-6288 with any questions regarding these comments. 8. The Planning Department stated that the entire project should be submitted as a PUD. The applicant could request Preliminary and Final PUD approval for the 7 lots which are already platted and request Preliminary PUD approval for the remainder of the property. Please contact Mike Ludwig at 221-6206 with any questions regarding these comments. y �Sf iC.
