GENE _RAIL /UTIILITY PLANS:
All comments noted on the final utility plans have been addressed.
There is an existing sewer service to lot 11 from the alley which was installed with the

previous property owner. Refer to approved final utility plans for Howes Street Hideaways.

Our responses to the written comments are as follows:
Two benchmarks have been provided as requested. These are located on the Cover Sheet of
the final utility plans.

accordance with the standards for PCCP patches. A construction note direction has been
added to the Master Utility Plan. A patchback detail is located on the detail sheet.

Dear Ti in,
This is a response to your review comments concerning the final utility plans for Howes Street
Hideaways" (Block 105, Harrison's Addition). Comments are addressed according to each sheet of the
original reviewed plan set and your written comments provided on your project comment sheet dated
02/27/97.
GENERAL ITEMS:
Our goal is to obtain a release on a Footing and Foundation permit (F&F) by April 11, next week.
We would hope to have a full permit by the end of April. We have revised the plans and have
responded to all comments. There are certain minor completion items such as providing the
pavement design report. This should not hold us up however since City policy actually requires a
pavement design after subgrade tests are taken and approved (see General Note 2 on the Cover
Sheet) and current City pavement design standards. A pavement design has been ordered.
*� We have revised the plans to indicate that the paved alley between the south limits of this project and
the back of the the existing sidewalk along Myrtle Street, will be by others. This does not mean that
the alley will not be constructed with this project. As we discussed, we do not feel that it is the cost
responsibility of the builder to complete the entire alley, though it makes sense to just go ahead and
complete the alley. We will be requesting cost participation. Rick Richter indicated that the streets
Department budget may include alley improvements. Apparently, Bruce Juelfs at the Street
Department is the one to discuss this issue with. His number is 221-6883. We have contacted
Bruce. Rayline Development Corporation will also discuss cost participation with neighbors.
A Fire hydrant has not been added to the plans as we previously discussed doing. Roger Frasco has
suggested that Rayline Development Corporation escrow the amount for the cost of a hydrant.
Apparently, the hydrant would be installed at the intersection of Myrtle and the alley when
Water/Wastewater replaces the existing 4" line in Myrtle in the near future. Rayline Development
Company had agreed to this. However, Roger Buffington did not agree with the escrow idea. Roger
Frasco is working out other arrangements with Rayline such as access from Howes and addressing
off Howes. if you need to talk to Roger Frasco of the Poudre Fire Authority, his number is 221-
6570.
* We are providing mylars at this time for immediate routing. We are also providing the requested
five (5) sets of revised plans for immediate routing for everyone's re -review while mylars are being
routed. Please have the department holding the mylars contact us direct if there are any other minor
additions or revisions to the plans required by that department. They would typically do this
anyway.
Existing facility relocation in the alley is being coordinated with the affected utility. Light and
Power will underground current above ground facilities and relocated existing appurtenances.
