Attached are the revised plans for the Minor Amendment for the Advanced Energy Building 7 & 8. The
following changes have been made to address comments:
Site Plan (Sheet ] of 3)
1. The entry drive from Sharp Point Drive has been updated to reflect the changes shown on
the engineering drawings. The reason for this change is to accommodate a request from
the Citv to not relocate either of the electrical vaults along Sharp Point Drive.
2. The bridge location has been corrected to reflect the changes shown on the engineering
drawings.
Landscape Plan (Sheet 2 of 3)
1. The landscaping around the entry drive from Sharp Point has been updated to reflect the
changes shown on the site plan and engineering drawings. Shown with this revision is
the replanting of several trees to the south of the drive.
2. The landscaping around the bridge has been revised to accommodate the changes of the
bridge. Included in this revision is a change to the planting area at the north end of the
cast side of the building. This change is due to steeper grades in the field than were
anticipated. Formerly, this area was shown as grass. Now there are additional planting
beds shown.
3. The area adjacent to the north side of the Liberty Commons School was also revised.
Planting beds were added between the building and the parking lot to help direct children
away from the parking area. The School informed us that there is a door on the north
side of the school used as a secondary egress.
Street and Utility Plan (Sheet 2 of 8)
1. The entry drive from Sharp Point Drive is revised as indicated above. This includes the
need for an additional easement.

Re: Advanced Energy Building Lots 9 and 10, etc., Prospect Park PUD
Dear Mr. Maxwell
I have reviewed the easement dedication documents that you sent to me in August and
some additional information is needed in order to finish processing the documents. The
following information/ documents are needed:
1. The deed of dedication for the utility easement on Lot 23, Prospect Industrial
Park should be for the dedication of a utility and access easement, not just utility
and not drainage as has been provided. The deed language needs to be
changed (can provide the first page only, as the signatures already provided can
be utilized as long as the easement change is acceptable to the signing parties).
You did provide a deed of dedication with the August submittal, but it referenced
a drainage easement (see returned document)
6. A check for $160 made out to the Larimer County Clerk and Recorder is
needed for the filing fees for all 5 documents. (This assumes that the dedication
statement to be provided is one sheet only)
The above items are needed prior to the City signing the Utility Plans for this project.
If you have any questions in regards to this matter, please contact me at 221-6750.

Dear Mr. Maxwell
I have reviewed the easement dedication documents that you sent to me in June and
some additional information is needed in order to finish processing the documents. The
following information/ documents are needed:
1. A legal description describing the drainage easement to be dedicated on Lot
9, Prospect Park East PUD only. The legal that was provided included area on
the Vipont site (outside of this lot boundary and ownership).
2. A sketch showing the drainage easement being dedicated on Lot 9, Prospect
Park East PUD. The sketch provided shows the easement extending onto the
Vipont site also.
3. A legal description describing the drainage easement to be dedicated on
Vipont at Prospect East only. The legal that was provided included area on Lot 9
(outside of this lot boundary and ownership).
4. A sketch showing the drainage easement being dedicated on Vipont at
Prospect East. The sketch provided shows the easement extending onto Lot 9
also.
5. The deed of dedication for the utility easement on Lot 23, Prospect Industrial
Park should be for the dedication of a utility and access easement, not just utility
as has been provided. The deed language needs to be changed (can provide
the first page only, as the signatures already provided can be utilized as long as
the easement change is acceptable to the signing parties). The legal description
as well as the sketch needs to be modified to indicate it is to be a utility and
access easement. The access easement is necessary as portions of the
sidewalk fall outside of the Row.

Detail Sheet 7
The Commercial Access Drive detail has been
modified, and the Access Ramp Detail has been added to
the plans. A note has been added to the plan which
states that all work in the city's right-of-way for the
construction, repair, or replacement of curb, gutter, and
sidewalk shall use the City of Fort Collins Standard
Details. All on -site, private curb, gutter, and sidewalk
shall be built in accordance with the details denoted as
"On -Site".
Plan set reviewed by Water Utilities (Roger Buffington):
Utility Plan
- As we discussed in our phone conversation on June
13, the proposed facility is being considered as one
building. The water use figures presented to you, 55 gpm
average and 116 gpm peak, were discovered to be in error.
It is my understanding that the Neenan Company is
continuing discussions with you concerning the size of
water meter which will ultimately be required. In order
to allow the processing of this project to continue, I
have show a 2" domestic water service on the utility
plan, with the understanding that the size of the meter
may be down -sized to inch and one half (1-1/211) meter
setting given sufficient proof that the 1-1/2" meter can
meet the demands of the facility.
Existing water and sewer service locations, obtained
from the City's mapping, are shown on the plan and have
been noted that these services are to be abandoned at the
main according to City of Fort Collins requirements.
A note addressing the proposed water main depth has
been added to the plan.
The proposed S" water line extension has been
relocated to lie within the access drive.
PIV is defined as a Post Indicator Valve. This item
has been eliminated and is no longer applicable.
The required curb stop is shown and labeled on the
plan.
Plan set reviewed by Stormwater Utility (Basil H mdan):
Grading Plan
- As we discussed in our phone conversation on June
13, the 0.40$ minimum slope is not required as long as
the velocities within each storm sewer pipe was at least
2 feet per second. Please see the Final Drainage Report
which provides the pipe velocities.
A spot elevation has been provided at the north east
property corner where the proposed curb and gutter ties
into the existing concrete channel.
Drainage & Erosion Control Plan
The Courtyard area between Building 3 and Building 4
has been eliminated. Drainage within this area is now
roof drainage, which eliminates the need for the area
inlet.
The Erosion Control Construction Sequence has been
added to the plan. A note has been added which states
that no seeding is required for this project and all open
areas are landscaped. Please see the Landscape Plan for
specific landscaping requirements.
Detail Sheet 7
A rip rap detail is included on the plans.
Final Drainage Report reviewed by Stormwater Utility
(Basil Hamdan):
Items 1-4: These items refer to the City's floodplain
map which is currently being amended; the applicant is
aware of these issues and is currently working with City
officials to waive these requirements.
item 5: The Poudre River floodplain does not lie
within 150 feet of the site boundary.
Item 6: Storm sewer profiles and hydraulic grade
lines are shown on the plans. See Sheet 4.
Item 7: The Erosion Control Construction Sequence
has been added to the plan. A note has been added which
states that no seeding is required for this project and
all open areas are landscaped. Please see the Landscape
Plan for specific landscaping requirements.
`r VO
Item 8: Per our phone conversation on June 13, this
development was designed in accordance with the
previously approved drainage concepts for this
subdivision which allows the storm water from each site
to free release into the Poudre River floodplain.
However, based on the City's analysis of Spring Creek, 75
cfs of overtopping needs to be carried in the concrete
channel along the north property line. It is anticipated
that the subdivision's peak runoff will already be gone
when this overtopping of Spring Creek occurs.
Item 9: As we discussed in our phone conversation on
June 13, the 0.40% minimum slope is not required as long
as the velocities within each storm sewer pipe was at
least 2 feet per second. Please see the Final Drainage
Report which provides the pipe velocities.
Item 10: A rip rap detail has been included on the
plans.
Item 11: The outfall of the proposed storm sewer pipe
has been designed to an elevation which is at or slightly
higher than the normal water surface for the lake in
Tract A. Because of this design item, the rip rap is
installed only as an outlet/erosion protection measure at
the release point. The associated storm water velocities
will be dissipated in the lake.
Item 12: The erosion control cost estimate has been
revised as noted.
Please feel free to call me at (303) 651-6626 if you have
any questions or require any additional information.
Thanking you in advance for all of your help during this
process, and allowing this project to be approved.

TO: Basil Hamden, Civil Engineer II
FROM: Mike Grimm, Floodplain Administrator Mi l7
DATE: April 14, 1995
SUBJECT: Advanced Energy
The proposed Advanced Energy (AE) site is located within the Spring Creek floodway as delineated on
Flood Insurance Rate Map Panel 0004A, effective date July 16, 1979. As previously discussed with
representatives for AE, the Spring-Ereek Floodplain is currently in the process of being restudied by the
Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). The revised study and floodplain delineation, upon
approval, will eliminate the floodplain and floodway from the AE site, however, the current maps are
required to be used for regulation by FEMA.
A mandatory 90-day appeal period is required for the revised study. Upon completion of the 90-day
period and resolution of any appeals, FEMA will issue a letter of Final Elevation Determination (FED).
Once the FED letter has been issued, the City can use the revised study as "best available data" and issue
a building permit based on the revised delineation. The expected time frame for the City to be able to use
the revised maps for floodplain management purposes is September 1995.
If the applicant waits until the revised study and maps are approved, the AE site would no longer be in a
floodplain/floodway and my comments will not apply.
My comments are as follows;
1. The applicant is required to submit a technical analysis which demonstrates that the proposed
encroachment into the floodway will not result in any increase in flood levels during the
occurrence of the base flood.
2. The applicant is required to elevate the lowest floor of all structures a minimum of 18 inches
above the base flood elevation or floodproof the structures so that they are watertight. An
elevation certificate and/or floodproofing certificate is required.
3. An approved Floodplain Use Permit is required for each proposed structure prior to all
construction or development activities. Forms are attached.
4. The applicant has been advised of the floodplain variance procedure. Additional forms and a
description of requirements are attached.
5. The applicant is advised to contact the Stormwater Utility for additional information on
floodplain requirements and information.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Floodplain File
THROUGH: Bob Smith, Stormwater Department Director
FROM: Mike Grimm, Floodplain Administrator
DATE: May 30, 1995
SUBJECT: May 25, 1995 meeting with FEMA regarding floodplain administration and
preliminary maps for Fort Collins; meeting notes.
On May 25, 1995, Bob Smith and Mike Grimm from the City of Fort Collins met with Fred Metzler, the
Colorado Representative for the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), to discuss the
revised Flood Insurance Study (FIS) and preliminary maps as they relate to floodplain administration.
On May 2, 1995 FEMA began the required 90-day public appeal period on the revised FIS. If no appeals
are filed, the 90-day period will end on August 1, 1995. FEMA will then issue a Final Elevation
Determination (FED) letter within 30-days which completes the map revision process, except for final
printing which may take at least 6 months.
The City of Fort Collins has numerous requests for building permits in areas along Spring Creek and the
Poudre River that are currently designated as floodplain and/or floodway. The revised FEMA mapping,
however, removes those properties from the floodplain/floodway designation and floodplain regulation
would no longer apply. The City requested interpretation from FEMA with regard to administration of
the floodplain regulations as related to those properties which will be removed from the designated
floodplain based on the revised mapping.
With regard to interpretation of the National Flood Insurance Program regulations and the revised FIS
and mapping, Fred Metzler at FEMA determined;
The revised FIS and preliminary maps as dated March 31, 1995 have been approved by the City
of Fort Collins, the FEMA Region 8 Office, and FEMA Headquarters in Washington D.C. and
are considered the most accurate and best available information.
With regard to 44 CFR 60.1 (d) which states, that" any floodplain management regulations
adopted by a State or a community which are more restrictive than the criteria set forth in this
part are encouraged and shall take precedence", FEMA stated that the City of Fort Collins
already has adopted more stringent regulations for floodplain management with regard to lowest
floor elevation requirements and that this section of the NFIP is specifically referring to
floodplain management regulations such as lowest floor elevation requirements and other design
standards.
With regard to 44 CFR 60.2 (h) which states that "the community shall adopt and enforce
floodplain management regulations based on data provided by the administrator. Without prior
approval of he administrator, the community shall not adopt and enforce floodplain management
*0
regulations based upon modified data reflecting natural or man-made physical changes", FEMA
stated that the City is not "adopting" anything new and the preliminary maps are being used for
floodplain management based on best data.
A technical analysis is required by the applicant to demonstrate that the proposed development is
not in the (revised) floodplain and/or floodway, including a demonstration of no -rise if located in
the floodway. The analysis should be based on "as -built" site conditions.
FEMA indicated that the City has the authority to use the preliminary maps based on the
technical analyses and adequate documentation showing that the proposed structure complies
with all floodplain standards and regulations. The interpretations of the NFIP regulations and
administration of floodplains based on the preliminary maps applies to all floodplains within the
City.
With regard to Chapter 10 of the City Code and floodplain administration based on the preliminary
maps;
Section 10-17, Purpose, is adequately addressed utilizing the preliminary maps for floodplain
management.
Section 10-36, (9), regarding interpretations where there is a conflict between actual field
conditions/as-built and map boundaries applies to the administration of floodplains based on the
preliminary maps.
Sections 10-53 and 10-55 will be addressed in the technical analyses based on as -built
conditions.
The City will require an indemnification for all permits issued based on the preliminary maps in the
event that the FEMA revision process is delayed for any reason, such as an appeal, with the following
stipulations;
the permit holders will hold the City harmless for any damages to their own building;
2. the permit holders will hold the City harmless for any damages to adjacent properties
that may be adversely affected; and,
the permit holders will correct any deficiencies with regard to floodplain regulation and
compliance in the event that the proposed FEMA mapping is not adopted.

As you know, we have obtained a drainage easement from Lucile V. Anderson
(hereinafter "the Anderson Drainage Easement"). The original Anderson
Drainage Easement has been delivered to your office. As the Grantees under
the Anderson Drainage Easement, Prospect Park East Partnership and William W.
Reynolds are willing to dedicate the Anderson Drainage Easement to the City of
Fort Collins. In this regard, please provide me with whatever document the
City Attorney deems necessary to accomplish this dedication. If I am to
prepare such a document, please let me know. Needless to say, by dedicating
our privileges under the Anderson Drainage Easement, the City will not be
assuming our obligations thereunder, as set forth in _the Anderson Drainage
Easement.
It is my understanding that the drainage easement received from the City of
Fort Collins (hereinafter "the City Drainage Easement") has not yet been
executed. Apparently, the City Drainage Easement must first be approved by
the City Council at a hearing scheduled for November 20, 1984.
As you know, in order to provide utility service to the Advanced Energy
building, it is essential that we record the plat of the P.U.D. as soon as
possible. It is my understanding that the Planning Department has agreed to
allow the plat of the P.U.D. to be recorded prior to the approval of the City
Drainage Easement by the City Council, subject to the following terms and
conditions:
1. In the event the City Council fails to approve the City Drainage
Easement, Prospect Park East Partnership and William W. Reynolds shall,
notwithstanding the recording of the plat, cease work on the project until an
alternative solution to the drainage problem, acceptable to the City, has been
found.

PLANNING
DEPARTMENT
As a follow up to the easement confusion regarding the
above referenced P.U.D., please be advised as follows.
It is my understanding that the drainage easement presently
conveyed from Lucile Anderson to William Reynolds on behalf
of Prospect Park East will be dedicated, in so far as the
priviledges are concerned, to the City of Fort Collins.
With regard to the Drainage Easement and Agreement by
the City of Fort Collins to William Reynolds on behalf of
Prospect Park East, please be advised that we will need a
resolution to go before City Council at their November 20 meeting.
In that resolution it must be indicated that the property is
not used nor intended to be used for municipal purposes nor
secured for the purpose of being used for municipal purposes
and that it is for the best interest of the City of Fort
Collins that the same be sold. For your convenience I am
enclosing a copy of Chapter 26, Sections 26-1, 26-2 and 26-3.
In addition, please be advised that the Drainage Easement and
Agreement between the City and Mr. Reynolds will need to reflect
a signature "The City of Fort Collins, By the Mayor". This
should be in substitution of the City Manager block signature
which presently exists on my formerly approved easement form.
In the meantime, it is my understanding that Prospect
East will then have an easement to construct the ditch across
City property, that they will maintain the ditch and that they
will assume liability from any damages caused by the flooding
or errosion of the drainage ditch. Further, in the event
that City Council fails to approve the City drainage easement,
notwithstanding the recording of the plat, the developer shall
cease work on the project until an alternative solution of

the drainage problem, acceptable to the City, has been found.
Finally, no Certificate of Occupancy for the advanced energy
building will be issued by the City until the City Drainage
Easement has been approved and/or an alternative solution has
been found.
If I am incorrect in the any of the foregoing understandings,
please advise me immediately. Otherwise, we shall procede
with a resolution for Council for the 20th, if you will draft
an agenda item summary in that regard.

Dear Tom:
This is to confirm our phone conversation regarding the storm water runoff
from Lots 13, 14, 15 and 16, Prospect Park East P.U.D. Lots 13 and 14 are
being reviewed at this time as a I-L Review.
The drainage report was made originally for Centerpoint Park Subdivision
and even though it has been replatted these lots are the same. All of the
runoff flows North to the concrete drainage pan along the North line of the
lots. The amount of runoff has not changed from the time of the original
report. The concrete pan along the North line as well as the concrete pan
East of Prospect Park Way were designed to carry the 100 year developed
runoff. The design flow for this section was 25.5 c.f.s.
If you have further questions regarding this matter, please call.

Addendum to Advanced Enerev, Buildinvs 7 & 8
Dear Sherri,
Per our phone conversation on Friday, please find attached the revised engineering drawings for the
aforementioned project- As you know, the site will be wing through a Minor Amendment to adjust
an access to the site. 1 have included on each sheet which describes the changes to the site 1 believe
the largest concern for the site is Storm Drainage- With the proposed changes to the site, some of
the on -site drainage basins slightly changed, not significant enough to change the `time of
concentrations'_ The changes to the calculations can be found in the Addendum Final Drainage
Report
Ifvou have any questions concerning this development, please call us at your earliest opportunity.
We thank you for working
with us on this project.

Attached are the revised plans for the Minor Amendment for the Advanced Energy Building 7 & 8.
Specific responses to the review comments are as follows:
Dept: Water/Wastewater
1. Comment: Provide a copy of the revised landscape plans with the revised water and sewer lines
shown.
Response: The CADD background for the landscape plans had not been updated. The landscape plan
attached shows the revised water and sewer lines per the current revisions of the utility plans.
2. Comment: Provide a copy of the revised plat showing the utility easement for the revised water
line, fire hydrant and curb stop locations.
Response: The revised plat is attached with the revisions shown to the utility easements, with a revised
Easement Exhibit, per the current revisions of the utility plans.
3. Comment: Correct all abandonment notes.
Response: The abandonment notes have been revised per redlines shown on the utility plans.
4. Comment: Will there not be a need for an irrigation tap now?
Response: The proposed irrigation system will be from the domestic meter, so a separate water meter
will not be required.
5. Comment: Revise water line layout in order to eliminate unnecessary mains and fire hydrants.
Response: The utility construction for this site was initiated approximately 3 weeks ago, per die
original approval of the utility plans. The southerly water main has been installed. Therefore, we ask
that the two fire hydrants and main extensions be acceptable as shown on the attached plans. The legal
description for the new utility easement is attached.
6. Comment: See site, landscape and utility plans for additional comments.
Response: As follows:
Landscape Plan
a. Comment: Provide copy of revised landscape plan for our review.
Response: Revised landscape plan is attached.
b. Comment: Areas in red indicate a change in the architectural facade and site layout as well
as planting plan changes.
Sheri Wamhoff
June 9, 2000

Response: Attached revised landscape plan has "bubbled" areas shown. The exterior elevations
have been modified as necessary to reflect the changes to the site layout.
Utility Plans
a. Comment on Sheet 2: Add note as follows: "Core drill new opening into existing manhole.
Reshape bench to redirect flow."
Response: The note has been added to the revised plan.
b. Comment on Sheet 2, note 2: Add to note the following: "All DIP shall be encased with
polywrap."
Response: The note has been added to the revised plan.
c. Please note (on Sheet 2) that the sewer line invert at the building has been lowered to elevation
4892.00. This was done to accommodate interior plumbing lines and does not reduce the slope of
the exterior portion of the line to minimum standards.
d. Comment (on Sheet 5, Storm Line C): Reconfigure water main to avoid lowering.
Response: See response to comment #5 above.
Dept: Stomrwater
1. Comment: Please provide details for the added inlets I-3.
Response: The proposed area inlets, identified as a CDOT Type-C inlet, also meet the requirements
for the City's Area hdet detail. The more stringent criteria will be upheld. The City's Area Inlet detail
is on the existing detail sheets for the project. Please see sheet 7 of 16 of the approved set.
2. Comment: Please add proposed contours to the grading plan. Please label all contour lines.
Response: The proposed contours have been added to the grading plan, and the contours have been
labeled for clarification on the attached revised plans.
3. Comment: The proposed revised grades are too difficult to read. Please provide a blow-up of
the revised area, including contour elevations; make sure proposed flow line elevations are
readable.
Response: We have cleaned up the plan view of the loading dock areas, and enlarged the text size for
the spot elevations. Please see attached revised plans.
4. Comment: Please add a drainage summary table to the drainage plan with the revised sub -basin
flows.
Response: We have added the drainage summary table and flow areas to the attached revised plan.
5. Comment: Please compare the revised sub -basin flows to the original ones and discuss what the
effect of the change will be on the overall site. Please explain that in the text of the report.
Response: This information has been added as requested. Please see the revised Addendum —
Dminage Report.
6. Comment: Please add flow arrows to the drainage plan. Please clarify where the flows in the
dock area will drain.
Response: We have added flow arrows on the site, which aids the overall view of the loading dock
areas. (Refer to numbers 2 and 3 above.)
7. Comment: Please do not sign the submitted bluelines. These get signed only after approval of
the revised mylars by the City.
Response: The signatures have been removed from the bluelines.
Utility Plans:
a. Comment (on Sheet 3): Provide proposed contours in the exterior storage area.
Response: The proposed contours are added in the exterior storage area on the plan.

b. Comment (on the plan): Provide now line elevations in 2 spill pan locations near exterior
storage area.
Response: The flow line elevations are shown on Sheet 3 for this area.
Dept: Engineering
1. Site Plan
a. Comment: The handicap spaces and the island between them on the southwest side of the
building are shown differently on the utility plans. And there are stairs in the walk shown
here on the utility plans — how is this access handicap accessible?
Response: Both the utility plans and the site plans have been revised and coordinated. There is a
ramp shown to the larger of the two entries to the building on the south side. The grading of the
site due to the drainage in that driveway is such that the handicap parking spaces are located to the
far southwest of that row of parking. This is the only location in that area that conforms to the
ADA requirements for slope. This sidewalk from the parking spaces to the ramp conforms to the
ADA requirements for slope.
b. Comment: The waterlines are shown differently on the utility plans.
Response: The CADD background file for the site plan had not been updated. The site plan
attached shows the revised water and sewer lines per the current revisions of the utility plans.
2. Landscape Plan
a. Comment:
See Comments on the site plan.
Response:
See below for responses.
b. Comment:
The berm configuration and height on Midpoint between the two driveways is
shown differently on the utility plans.
Response:
The berm configuration and height is shown the same on both revised drawings.
c. Comment:
Label the retaining walls.
Response:
The 4 retaining walls at the dock area are labeled on the revised landscape plan
attached.
d. Comment:
[Show striping for the access aisles between handicap parking spaces.
Response:
The striping is shown on the revised landscape plan.
3. Utility Plan — Sheet 1
a. Comment: As indicated above, the handicap spaces and the island between them on the
southwest side of the building are shown differently on the utility plans. And there are stairs
in the walk shown here on the utility plans — how is this handicap accessible?
Response: Both the utility plans and the site plans have been revised and coordinated. There is a
ramp shown to the larger of the two entries to the building on the south side. The grading of the
site due to the drainage in that driveway is such that the handicap parking spaces are located to the
far southwest of that row of parking. This is the only location in that area that conforms to the
ADA requirements for slope. This sidewalk from the parking spaces to the ramp conforms to the
ADA requirements for slope.
b. Comment: Label/indicate the retaining walls as shown on the site plan.
Response: The 4 retaining walls at the dock area are labeled on the revised utility plan attached.
4. Utility Plan— Sheet 2
a. Comment: Not all the changes are bubbled. And changes to the parking configuration or
islands also need to be bubbled.
Response: The attached blueline drawings have been bubbled to show all the changes.
5. Utility Plan— Sheet 3
a. Comment: What happened to the grade lines that were on the approved set? They need to
be shown and any changes from the original drawing need to be bubbled.
Sheri Wamhoff
June 9, 2000
Page 4
Response: The CADD drawing had a layer turned off when last we plotted. The revised plan
shows the grade lines. All changes have been bubbled on the attached revised drawings.
b. Comment (on the plan): Is there to be a curb or a railing here (pointing to a screen/retaining
wall at the south side of the northern loading docks)? What's to keep someone from backing
or driving over?
Response: This is a combination retaining/screen wall. The retaining portion is because the
loading dock area is lower than the exterior storage area. On top of the retaining wall is a screen
built of the, brick masonry to match the building. This wall will prevent backing or driving over
the wall. These walls are shown on the Exterior Elevations sheet (viewed at an angle, so the
length as shown on the elevation doesn't look as though it matches the plan).
6. Utility Plan —Sheet 4
a. Comment: The on -site curb details that were on the original sheet have been eliminated. Is
this part of the change?
Response: The on -site curb details were moved to the upper part left of the drawing and are still
part of the project.
b. Comment: The grading lines showing the tie in into Lot S at Sharp Point are gone; these
need to be put back on the plans.
Response: The grade lines are again shown on the revised drawing.
c. Comment: A lot more of the grading has been modified than is bubbled. Bubble everything
that has changed.
Response: The areas that have been changed are now bubbled in their entirety.
it. Comment: Why is the berm on Sharp Point being reduced in height from the original
approval? And as shown it does not match the landscape plan.
Response: We are assuming that you meant the berm on Midpoint Drive. The berm configuration
and height for Midpoint Drive is shown the same on both revised drawings.
c. In addition, please note that the inlet shown in the exterior storage area has been moved several
feet to the south. This was done in order to keep water away from the backside of the retaining
wall to help eliminate any potential problems with the foundations.
We believe that all of the comments have been properly addressed. If you have any concerns or comments,
please contact me at (970) 495-6353. Your attention to this matter is greatly appreciated.
