Water mains and DIP installation notes are added. For the most part, a minimum of 10-feet separation is provided between gas and on -site utilities. However, due to the manner in which the CDOT project constructed water in the vicinity of the gas main, and where the Traffic Operations site will tie onto. the existing water stubbed on CDOT's site, water and gas will have less than the minimum required 10 feet of separation. Under these circumstances, the Applicant respectfully requests a variance to connect to the existing 8-inch water stub in order to effect the on -site connection for water services, as well as complete the looping of the water main system requested by the City. Water system components call -outs are included. A minimum of 5-foot separation is provided for fire hydrants and other on - site structures. 45. The Applicant will initially service the Phase 1 structure via a service/fire line taken of the proposed water main layout. Phase 2 water hook-ups will ultimately be provided via service extensions from the Phase 1 structure. 46. In lieu of the City's procedures for easement delineation on City property, the Applicant will provide a legal description and sketch for each site component requiring such information (i.e., water, fire hydrants, sanitary, etc.).
