Dear Jim:
Staff has completed the interdepartmental review of Paragon Point,
Phase Two, Final P.U.D. The following comments are offerred:
1. Lot 27 will require a sight distance easement to the meet the
requirements of Table T-2 in the Design Criteria and Standards
for Streets. Be sure to verify whether or not a similar
easement will be required on Lot 25.
2. Falcon Ridge Court nees some re -design of grades. Also,
please submit a variance request for a local street with a
grade in excess of 8%.
3. The Engineering representatives to the Planning Department
would like to again emphasize that a final design for the
interim construction of Tribly Road must be submitted. Also,
a preliminary design for the ultimate construction of Trilby
Road to the arterial width must be submitted.
4.
The plat should provide labels, or Tract designations for the
open space areas. The conservation easement should be
described with dimensions to the lot corners. Right-of-way
widths should be specified on all sheets (missing on page
three) - Monumentation must -be-provided-: A redline -of -the
plat will be provided.
5. Please coordinate with Public Service Company regarding the
six inch diameter natural gas feeder main, and the 20' x 60'
easement for the natural gas regulator station near the
intersection of Trilby and Lemay.
6. U.S. West will require a utility easement across the west side
of Lot 34.
7. The following comments were received from the Department of
Natural Resources and must be addressed on the revised plans:
A. The conservation easement line needs to be moved further
to the east to include the rock outcroppings.
281 North College Avenue - P.O. Box 580 - Fort Collins, CO 80522-0380 - (303) 221-6750
B. A demarcation line should be indicated on the plans
delineating the area of disturbance. Please provide a
statement of how the disturbed areas will be reclaimed.
Staff has a recommended seed mixture that is -enclosed.
Keep in mind that irrigation will have to be supplied for
all the reclaimed areas.
C. Staff is concerned about the loss of the bird of prey
perch trees that were removed during road construction.
This loss will require mitigation. Please consult with
the Department of Natural Resources for ideas on such
mitigation.
D. A statement should be provided on why a conservation
easement is not considered appropriate on some of the
lots.
E. Finally, Staff is concerned about the reclamation on
Phase One. What is the schedule and expected completion
for reclaiming disturbed areas within Phase One?
8. Staff is concerned about the double frontage lots (Lots 23,
24, and 25) and the possibility that lots next to each other
may face in opposite directions. These lots should be
restricted so that access is taken from the cul-de-sac, not
Southridge Greens Blvd. Will there be common, uniform fencing
for the rear of these lots? What is the design intent for the
frontage along Southridge Greens Blvd? The restricted access
should be noted on both the P.U.D. and the plat.
9. Note number four should be stated in a more declarative
manner. Suggested language could be: "No access to any lot
shall be permitted from Trilby Road."
10. The arterial street landscaping along Lots
maintained by the homeowner's association.

trail easment should also be delineated on the P.U.D.
documents.
12. Please clarify the boundary of Tract C.
13. It is recommended by the City Forester that the two Autumn
Purple Ash that are street trees along Trilby be changed to
Marshalls Seedless Ash.

streambank stabilization study will be reviewed by the
Stormwater Utility. Comments and plan revisions should be
coordinated with Glen Schlueter, 221-6589.
