05/25/2020: FOR HEARING:
The plat shows the dedication of an irrigation easement. The Certificate of
Dedication statement has the City as being the beneficiary/grantee of
easements and there appears to be no distinction being made as the irrigation
easement being conveyed to another entity. It should be verified as to who is the
beneficiary of the irrigation easement, and that entity has given the OK with the
project going to hearing with the irrigation easement as depicted on the plat.
CAB Response: The ditch in front of the property that is closest to Scenic Drive is owned by Trilby Lateral
Ditch, however the ones that are behind the house are privately owned by Ms. Nittman. Irrigation easement
entities have been noted on the final plat, along with signature approval blocks.
Comment Number: 2 Comment Originated: 05/25/2020
05/25/2020: FOR HEARING:
The plat shows a "private access" easement being dedicated together with the
emergency access and utility easement. Private access easement would be
incongruent with being dedicated to the City. It would seem that this private
Page 2 of 6
access easement should be indicated separately and not being conveyed to the
City.
CAB Response: A note pertaining to the private access easement (pa) has been added to the final plat in
note form on sheet 1 of 2 and in note form on sheet 2 of 2. This language mimics that used for the plat of
old town north third filing.

Comment Originated: 05/25/2020
05/25/2020: FOR HEARING:
It is believed that Xcel Energy would need to sign the plat for the establishment
of easements crossing their existing easement. Xcel should also be providing
either an OK comment and/or a letter of intent not objecting to the plat going to
hearing.
CAB Response: A signature block for Xcel energy has been added to the
final plat.

05/25/2020: FOR HEARING:
There does not appear to be any information showing existing and/or proposed
utilities. Where/how will water/sewer be provided?
CAB Response: City of FC has provided a Will -Serve letter for water and sewer. As stated during project
meeting on May 26m with City staff, this is not required at this point.

Comment Originated: 05/21/2020
05/21/2020: FOR HEARING:
If the property is to be subdivided and a new Single -Family Dwelling is to be
serviced from the existing transformer, the existing electric line, from Scenic
Drive to the transformer, and the transformer will need to be in an easement, as
well as a path to Lot 1 for a future electric service. This will require the
underground electric line to be located and surveyed. Please see the my redlines.
CAB Response: A 10' utility easement encumbering the existing power service has been added over and
across lot 2. This will also serve proposed lot 1. The existing underground power service was field located
and falls within the proposed public utility easement along the common lot line.

05/25/2020: FOR HEARING: DEAD-END FIRE LANES
The proposed Emergency Access Easement (EAE) creates a dead-end fire
lane of approximately 240 feet in length with no turnaround. As currently shown,
this configuration would not be acceptable. Dead-end fire access roads in
excess of 150 feet in length shall be provided with an approved area for turning
around fire apparatus. As access to both properties will be served by this EAE
dedication, the recommended solution is to create a hammerhead style
turnaround that overlaps with the drive connection proposed on Lot 1. Feel free
to contact me to discuss.
CAB Response: Discussion item prior to hearing.

Plan approval requires that additional information be provided so as to ensure
the fire lane is being constructed to minimum specifications (provided
previously). Details to be noted on the site plan.
Comment Number: 3 Comment Originated: 05/25/2020
05/25/2020: FOR HEARING: REQUIRED WATER SUPPLY
Current code requires a fire hydrant, capable of providing 1000 gpm at 20 psi
residual pressure to be located within 400 feet of any residence. For the
purposed of this section, this distance is measured along an approved path of
vehicle travel. The closest available hydrant is located on Scenic Drive to the
east, at a distance of approximately 635 feet from the proposed residence and
approximately 725 feet from the existing residence at 1000 Scenic Drive.
> In order to satisfy current fire code requirements, the installation of a fire
hydrant is required. Location TBD. The alternative to installing a hydrant is to
install a residential fire sprinkler system in the new home as an offset to the
hydrant requirement.
> The existing residence at 1000 Scenic Drive is non -compliant with regard to
water supply requirements, however, this condition will be considered
pre-existing and will not be subject to the hydrant requirement unless further
development is proposed on Lot 1. The installation of a hydrant (as noted
above) would be recommended (but not required) so as to serve both newly
created Lots by this subdivision.
> Either a new fire hydrant shall be noted on the updated plans or the plans
Page 4 of 6
shall note that construction of a residence on Lot 1 will have a fire sprinkler
requirement attached to the building permit.

position that is plainly legible, visible from the street fronting the property, and
posted with a minimum of four -inch numerals on a contrasting background. This
requirement shall apply to both properties (existing and proposed). As access
to both lots shall be shared by the same driveway, the addresses shall also be
posted at the driveway connection at Scenic Drive.
