If these areas cannot be used for access to the open space area and bike trail, then other pedestrian access should be granted. 15. The P.U.D. should indicate a "typical" fence schematic for rear yard privacy fences along Lemay Avenue (Lots 1-8). The City is concerned about long, continuous wood fences that are not mitigated by brick columns, indentations, varying heights, or other design features. 16. Please provide information regarding compliance with the newly adopted Solar Orientation Ordinance. As you know, residential subdivisions are required to orient a minimum of 65% of the lots within 30 degrees of a true east -west line. If this percentage cannot be achieved, please provide a written explanation detailing the reasons for non-compliance. Since the Planning and Zoning Board is empowered to grant variances, please indicate the justifications for non-compliance. Reasons for variances include the presence of slopes, natural features, wetlands, storm drainage channels, existing road patterns, or other site peculiarities. A copy of the variance criteria is attached. 17. The lots that are within solar orientation compliance should be shaded or graphically depicted on the site plan. 18. It is recommended that Note #5 be deleted since the City, through the P.U.D. process, cannot be a party to private covenants. Perhaps a more generalized statement acknowledging that the homes in Filing Two will approximate the homes in Filing One in terms of style, size, and architectural character would be more appropriate. 19. Please indicate on the site plan that the adjacent properties are zoned R-L-P. 20. At some point, prior to Final P.U.D., the City should receive evidencethat the Sanitation District's property has been conveyed. to the applicant. Otherwise, the District should appear as a signature block on the final plans. 21. The Stox-mwater Utility will need an easement at the outfall area nea.r Lemay Avenue. 22. A temporary cul-de-sac will be required for emergency equipment turn -around on Compton Road. This cul-de-sac must be of an all-weather surface and meet the criteria of the Poudre Fire Authority. This cul-de-sac must be in before permits will be issued for Lot 28. 23. A sight distance easement may be required on lots located on the inside of the curves on Buchanan Street. If a sight distance easement is required, then fencing and landscaping must be! restricted within the easement area. Such restrictions should be noted on the P.U.D. site plan. 24. Are there plans to continue the street trees along Lemay Avenue up to the northerly property line? This concludes Staff comments at this time. In order to stay on schedule for the February 24, 1992 Planning and Zoning Board hearing, please note the following deadlines: Plan revisions are due February 10, 1992 P.M.T.Is, 10 prints, and colored renderings are due Feb. 18th. Planning and Zoning Board worksession is February 21st. Please feel free to call to discuss these comments or to set up a meeting with the appropriate Staff members.

D Fort Collins, CO. 80525 Dear Rich: Staff has reviewed the request for Final P.U.D. and Subdivision for Brittany Knolls Filing Two and offers the following comments: 1. The Fort Collins -Loveland Water District and South Fort Collins Sanitation District have the following comments: A. Manholes are not to be located in the flowline of the street. B. A minimum 18 inches vertical clear distance is to be maintained between the water lines and all other underground facilities. C. A District sign -off block is required on sheet 12 of 20. D. The water service lines on Lot 24 and 25 on Buchanan Street should be moved closer to the lot line. E. The concrete encasement detail on sheet 19 of 20 is to be removed. 2. U.S. West requires a utility easement along the west property line of Lot 29, and along the common property line between Lots 30 and 31. 3. U.S. West would like to pass along to the developer that telephone facilities generally occupy rear lot utility easements which must be located on terrain which permits trenching operations. If the developer prefers a front -lot telephone layout, then the front lot easement should be wide enough to accommodate all utilities to be located there. The developer is responsible for provision of all trench for telephone facilities within the project, and the developer pays up front construction costs for facilities within the development. 281 North College Avenue • P.O. Box 580 • Fort Collins, CO 80522-0580 • (303) 221-67/50 4. U.S. West would also like to pass along a new comment that was not made at Preliminary: "Approval of these plans should not be construed as a commitment that telephone facilities sufficient to serve this project are presently available. U.S. West will provide telephone service in accordance with the rates and tariffs on file with the Colorado Public Utilities Commission." 5. There are problems with the Curve Table on sheet 2 of the plat. Curve 1, 1A, and 1B should all have the same radius and the Deltas should equal 1. Curves 5, 12, and 18 should be checked. There may be other similar errors in the Curve Table that should be checked. 6. On the plat, please delete the signature block for the City Clerk. This only applies to Minor Subdivisions which do not go before the Planning and Zoning Board. 7. On the plat, the signature block should read "City Engineer", not "City Engineering". Also, the block should read: "Approved As To Form By...." 8. The signature block for the owner's notary should include lines for the address of the notary. 9. It is not clear on the plat whether outer boundary monuments have been found or set. Also, please label the point of beginning. 10. The plat and the P.U.D. have switched Tracts A and B. This discrepancy should be resolved. 11. A note on the plat should indicate which lots comply with the Solar Orientation Ordinance. 12. Note #2 on the plat should also contain language that Tract B is also dedicated for a bicycle/pedestrian trail. 13. In reviewing the plans, it has been discovered that there is an existing St. Andrews Drive located in the Poudre Fire Authority service area. This existing street is located at the southeast corner of County Roads 52 and 11. It is strongly suggested that a new name be selected so that there is no unnecessary confusion during an emergency. Unfortunately, this comment was not made during the preliminary as St. Andrews is a pleasing street name. Please check both City and County street names to avoid duplication. We have these lists available for your information. 14. Please check to see if a sight distance easement will be required on Lot 39 for the intersection of Buchanan and Marshall. 15. It is not clear whether Lot 30 can be built without obtaining a slope easement from the South Side Service Center. If an easement must be granted by the City to the developer, then two readings by City Council are required. Perhaps a note should be added to the plans indicating the restriction. Similarly, a slope easement may be required before the temporary turn -around for Lot 29 is constructed. 16. Lots 39, 40, and 66 are odd shaped lots which may not allow a typical building footprint based on the setbacks stated on the P.U.D. I:t is suggested that these lots be granted individual setbacks that account for the peculiar shape. Otherwise, it is very likely that future builders will be applying for administrative changes to the P.U.D. to accommodate houses on these logs. Administrative changes are $15 each and take two to three days to process. 17. The 25 foot front setback is a little longer than typical. Usually, we see a 20 foot front setback specified for design flexibility. 18. Please specify the type and size of rip rap that will be grouted in the channel and sidebanks. The pink rip rap is not attractive nor indigenous to the area. Can cobble or some other similar material be used? 19. Landscaping of trees in Tracts C and D must be kept a minimum of 4 feet from natural gas mains. If there are any conflicts, please discuss with Public Service Company. 20. Staff is concerned about the four, side -yard drainage easements leading from Buchanan Street to the open space tract. One of the conditions of approval was that these easements be investigated for providing pedestrian access to the open space. Criterion number 45 of the Land Development Guidance System asks: "If the development is adjacent to an existing or approved public park or public open space area, has provision been made in the site plan to avoid interfering with public access to that area?" In order to satisfy this criterion, and the conditicn of preliminary approval, it is recommended that the side -yard easements between Lots 13 and 14, and 17 and 18 be equipped with a concrete path to provide access. These two easements are suggested because they are central to the houses and open space and, close to the intersections Marshall and Compton with Buchanan Street. The other easements are not central to the open space. Two paths are recommended so that traffic is dispersed and one path does not carry the burden. There are several design options that are available in constructing these paths. It has been our experience that a successful path is made of concrete to minimize long term maintenance. To avoid cutting across front yards, a low (42 inch maximum), open fence (split rail, Western rail, picket, or other) is placed on both sides of the path from the back of the sidewalk on Buchanan to the front building line. At the front building line, the fencing is optional but, in most cases, a transition is made to six feet, solid wood. The path should terminate with a ramp and not conflict with any rip rap at the pipe outlet. This may require a slight extension of the pipe.. Staff recommends the path be six feet in width. Four or five feet is discouraged as this is too narrow for two pedestrians, bicycle handlebars could hit side -yard fencing, and creates a tunnel effect. Conversely, anything over six feet would be excessive. It is recommended that any side -yard fencing (at the owner's option) be placed directly adjacent to the path so there is no unmaintained space between walk and fence. This has been found to -reduce long term maintenance. It should not be a problem for the Stormwater Utility for the path to be constructed over the drainage pipe as this is a normal and customary condition found throughout the City. Staff is willing to entertain other design suggestions that accomplish the same objectives. 21. The fencing detail looks good. It is suggested that a 1" x 6" top rail or cap be placed along the top of the pickets to add a finished appearance and help reduce the "stockade" look. Also, please specify that this fencing detail applies to Lots one through eight. 22. Staff is consulting with Parks and Recreation on how best to satisfy the condition of reserving an area for a section of the Fossil Creek trail. Further advisement will be forthcoming. 23. Similarly, Staff is consulting with Stormwater Utility and Natural Resources regarding the Revegetation Plan. Again, comments will be forwarded as soon as they are available. This concludes Staff comments at this time. Please note the following deadlines in order to stay on schedule for the April 27th P & Z hearing:, Plan revisions are due April 1, 1992. P.M.T.'s„ 10 prints, renderings are due April 20, 1992. Signed documents are due April 23, 1992. The development agreement and utility plan review are being coordinated by Mike Herzig and Kerrie Ashbeck. As always, if you have any questions or concerns, please call to set up a meeting.

The Public Service Company needs an eight foot wide utility easement at the north end of Compton Road on the east and west sides of Compton. This easement should be indicated on the plat. 2. Public Service also needs a 12 foot wide utility easement on the northerly side of Brittany Street and the west side of Lemay. '.These easements should also be indicated on the plat. 3. Please indicate on the plat that PSCo also needs an eight foot wide utility easement on the south end of Buchanan Street on both the east and west side. Or, dedicate Tracts A,B,C,(along Lemay) and Tract D (along Brittany) as utility easements. 4. Please note on the site plan that trees must be kept a minimum of four feet away from underground gas lines. 5. U.S. West requires the following additional easements: Along the property line between Lots 30 and 31. Along the north property line of Lots 24-28. Along northeast property line of Lots 8-23. Along south property line of Lots 1, 66-67, & 77. (These last three could be substituted by describing Tracts B, C, and D as utility easements.) 6. Columbine Cable Vision needs typical rear yard easements along Lots 1-28. 7. Columbine Cable would like to request that a two inch diameter conduit be placed for Columbine in any road crossing that U.S. West is requesting for their phone system. This would eliminate road bores which could damage new streets. 281 North College Avenue • P.O. Box 7,80 • Fort Collins, CO 80522-0580 • (303) 221-(, ;0 8. Columbine Cable would like to work with the home builders regarding the installation of an internally wired "home run" system with cable specified to meet Columbine's requirements. 9. Reference has been made regarding an environmental study of the area formerly occupied by the South Fort Collins Sanitation District sewage lagoons. The City would like a copy of such study for evaluation of the wetland mitigation plan and the possible sites for a bicycle/pedestrian trail. 10. The Parks and Recreation Department is interested in a trail through the areas designated as Tracts A and B. Be sure that any property dedicated to the City for the 100-year floodplain boundary contains specific language that this area is also dedicated for "access" as well as storm drainage purposes. For areas that are not dedicated for the limits of the 100- year floodplain, and may be critical in providing a trail connection for the Fossil Creek Trail, additional access easements must be provided. The location of such easements will depend on a site inspection by the Parks and Recreation Department. The minimum width for a trail is 50 feet. The Planning, Department will coordinate with Parks and Recreation regarding these easements/dedications. 11. It is difficult to determine on the site plan the boundary between Tract A and Tract B. Is Tract A everything north of the northerly boundary of the 100-year floodplain? 12. I am not aware of the City expressing interest in taking ownership of Tract A. My impression of the history of this project is that M.S.P. proposed that the City take ownership but this was evaluated and rejected as not meeting City criteria. for open space. My impression was that City would accept dedication of only the 100-year floodplain boundary and nothing else. (Trail easements could be granted without conveying ownership. Perhaps Note #10 should be revised or we need to clarify this issue. 13. The Department of Natural Resources would like to evaluate the mitigation plan for the relocation (and re-establishment) of the wetland areas. Our understanding is that the Army Corps of Engineers has been contacted and details on the appropriate permit are being worked out. As these plans are being finalized, please keep our Department of Natural Resources informed. Ultimately, the acceptance of the mitigation plan may be aL requirement for Final P.U.D. 14. Please indicate the treatment of the drainage easements between Lots 7-8, 8-9, 13-14, and 17-18. It would be preferable if these easements could serve as pedestrian connections to the open space areas. Such connections are typically six feet wide, bordered by fences 42 inches in height in front of the building line which then transitions up to six feet in height behind the front building line for
