MINOR AMENDMENT
Detailed description of the change and reason(s) for the request: The proposed Coyote Ridge Natural Area parking
lot expansion will provide additional auto (4 auto, 1 handi-capped space) and improved horse trailer parking (5
designated spaces) for the Coyote Ridge, Rimrock, and Devil's Backbone trail systems. Currently, the Coyote
Ridge Trail is 2 miles long and connects to the 3.5 mile long Rimrock Trail managed by Larimer County Open
Lands. Larimer County will extend the 3.5-mile Devil's Backbone Trail north another 2.5 miles to connect to their
Rimrock Trail in the next few years. The County also anticipates extending their Rimrock Trail north to Horsetooth
Reservoir another 1.5 mi as in the near future. In the not too distant future, the Coyote Ridge Parking Lot will
connect to over 13 miles of trails in the foothills south of Horsetooth Reservoir. Latimer County Open Lands has
obtained a grant from Great Outdoors Colorado (GOCO) to expand the Coyote Ridge Natural Area parking lot.

1. On sheet CU201 a note needs to be added stating
"That all disturbed areas will be reseeded and mulched in
accordance with sheet LP101.
2. A legend is needed to understand what the different
shaded areas mean on sheet CU201.
3. A geofabric or buried rip -rap is suggested at the
outfall of the drainage in the disturbed area.
4. The drainage letter needs to be revised and the
calculations corrected. The way the detention volume
was calculated is different than I have ever seen. I
think it would be best to just skip that calculation and
compare runoff rates at the time of concentration of the
2yr and 100 yr. storms for the existing and proposed
conditions. Then use that small difference to justify a
variance request from detention. This is in addition to
the committment to provide detention and water quality
treatment with any future addition of impervious area.
5. 1 agree with Engineerings request to have these plans
on 24" X 36" mylars with a City signature block.
