Department: Engineering Issue Contact: Katie Moore
Topic: Detail sheet
Number:86 Created:5/6/2003 Pending
For street improvements, please provide the full details from LCUASS, and please include
the attached sidewalk detail(s).

Topic: General
Number:18 Created:2/7/2003 Pending
The utility plan is highly conceptual at best. Please submit utility plans according to the
Larimer County Urban Area Street Standards, as well as a completed utility plan checklist
(LCUASS appendix E), a soils report, etc.
3.11.03 - Repeat - The City's development review process does not separate the
engineering (construction) plans from the rest of the review. Please submit detailed
engineering plans at this time. The single -sheet preliminary utility plan is still insufficient.
5.6.03 - Thank you for submitting more detailed plans. Please see the plans and the utility
plan checklist for additional comments.
Number:19 Created:2/7/2003 Resolved
The site and utility/grading plans do not match. Please ensure that these match on future
submittals.
Number:20 Created:2/7/2003 Resolved
There are new ADA requirements for pedestrian ramp texturing. Please see the attached
handout for the detail to use.
3.11.03 - Repeat.
Number:21 Created:2/7/2003 Pending
Any proposed work to be done offsite will require letters of intent from affected property
owners and completed offsite easements submitted to the City prior to final City signoff of
the plans.
3.11.03 - Thank you for the letters of intent already provided, but several items are still
missing:
-The letter from CSU needs to also address the need for a 15' utility easement along
the Shields Street ROW, as well as the intent to provide an emergency access easement
onsite.
Page 1
-Letters need to be provided from all affected property owners to the south of the site
whose properties will be impacted by the construction of the new sewer line. The county's
online records indicate 3 different property owners for affected parcels, yet the letter from
CSU indicates that the university has the ability to grant the needed construction
easement(s). Please clarify.
5.6.03 - Please provide legal descriptions and sketches, etc. as required on the attached
handout regarding the process for dedicating easements and ROW to the City. For private
easements needed for this project, please provide copies of the completed easements.
Number:22 Created:2/7/2003 Unresolved
Gray lines on the plans are too light to be reproducible. Please darken them so that they
are.
3.11.03 - Repeat for the Utility plan sheet. See LCUASS Appendix E-6 for document
quality requirements. These requirements apply to all sheets, including site/landscape.
Number:33 Created:217/2003 Pending
Please submit all documents relating to this project at the same time (i.e. the TIS and
grading plans, etc., should have been submitted along with all other plans and reports).
3.11.03 - The grading plan was not resubmitted, and there is still no utility plan set.
5.6.03 - Site and Landscape plans were missing with this submittal.
Number:49 Created:2/19/2003 Resolved
All plan sheets need to be 24" by 36".
Number:50 Created:2/19/2003 Resolved
Please see redlines for any additional comments.
3.11.03 - The Engineering Company indicated that they never received redlines from the
City after the initial round of review, and the City received no redlines back from CSU for use
in reviewing the second submittal. All redlines should be relayed to the appropriate
consultants for their use in revising plans, then returned to the City with the next submittal.
Number:51 Created:2119/2003 Resolved
It is recommended that the driveway connection to James Court be an open connection, not
just limited to Emergency access.
Number:71 Created:3/11/2003 Pending
Please provide justification for the proposed additional width of ROW for Shields Street; City
records indicate the need for a slightly wider additional ROW than what was proposed by
CSU.
5.6.03 - Repeat
Number:72 Created:3/11/2003 Pending
In the letter from Brian Chase, it was indicated under item number 5 that a utility easement
for the water line, hydrants, and curb stop would be provided as indicated on the drawings. I
have not been able to identify this area on the plans. Please clarify.
5.6.03 - Repeat
Number:73 Created:4/4/2003 Resolved
According to Water/Wastewater, if the sewer connection out to Lake is utilized, resulting in
upgrading the size of the connection, the existing easement for this line will need to be
widened to a total of 30 feet - 15 feet on each side of the pipe.

Topic: Grading plan
Number:48 Created:2/19/2003 Resolved
If an attached sidewalk is proposed along James Court, a minimum width of 7' would most
likely be accepted under a variance request.
Number:82 Created:5/6/2003 Pending
It appears that a large chunk of the parking lot will drain over the public sidewalk north to
James Court. This is prohibited under LCUASS, so please divert the water to an under -walk
drain and re -grade this area to prevent the flow of water over the public walk.
Number:83 Created:5/6/2003 Pending
Please ensure that all new grade lines are within this property's boundaries or obtain
grading easements from neighboring property owners.
Number:84 Created:516/2003 Pending
The driveway access to James court should be min. 28' wide.
Number:85 Created:5/6/2003 Pending
Please provide a detail of the proposed retaining wall.
Topic: Site/Landscape plan
Number:29 Created:2/7/2003 Resolved
Please show all utilites on the landscape plan. They need to meet landscape separation
requirements.
Number:30 Created:2/7/2003 Resolved
The labeled scale does not appear to be correct.
Number:31 Created:2/7/2003 Resolved
Will the sidewalk in front of the row of handicapped parking spaces be flush with the
asphalt?
Number:32 Created:2/7/2003 Resolved
Burton Court is the north -south portion of the street system north of the proposed parking lot
area. Both streets running east -west and intersecting Burton are named James Court.
They are labeled correctly on the Utility plans.
Number:67 Created:3/11/2003 Pending
The placement of trees within the 9' utility easement along James Court precludes the ability
to use the utility easement. Please relocate these trees.
5.6.03 - Please submit a revised landscape plan to show that this has been done.
Number:68 Created:3/11/2003 Pending
Please show the proposed additional ROW on Shields Street and the proposed utility
easement along Shields as well.
5.6.03 - Repeat

Number:70 Created:3111/2003 Pending
Retaining walls need to be placed a minimum of 2' beyond the ROW. (The sidewalk needs
to be widened to abut the property line, and edges of sidewalks are required to have at least
2' of clearance from retaining walls.)
5.6.03 - Repeat
Topic: Utility Plan
Number:23 Created:2/7/2003 Resolved
Please show existing features (parking lots, buildings, streets, etc.) offsite for a minimum of
150' beyond project limits in all directions.
Number:24 Created:2/7/2003 Pending
Please clearly indicate the location of the emergency access lane, labeling radii around
curves.
Repeat 3.11.03
Repeat 5.6.03 - Also, please dedicate this lane as an emergency access easement.
Number:25 Created:2/7/2003 Pending
Please label the existing ROW along both Shields and James Court. If either streets are
lacking in ROW to meet the Master Street Plan, please dedicate ROW to standards as
required by the Land Use Code. James Court is a Residential Local needing a total width of
51' - this development would be responsible for half that width from the centerline of the
existing road, or 25.5 feet.
Shields is a 4-lane arterial, with a total ROW requirement of 115 feet.
This development is also responsible for improvements to these streets to bring them up to
current standards.
5.6.03 - please provide dedication documents for the new ROW.
Number:26 Created:2/712003 Pending
Please dedicate any needed easements. For example, the standard utility easement along
local street ROW is 9 feet, while along arterials it is 15 feet wide.
3.11.03 - Repeat - Please dedicate the 15' utility easement along Shields Street.
5.6.03 - Repeat.
Number:27 Created:2/7/2003 Resolved
Please show all street cuts onto city streets and add the note: Limits of street cut are
approximate. Final limits are to be determined in the field by the City Engineering Inspector.
All repairs are to be in accordance with City street repair standards.
Number:28 Created:2/7/2003 Pending
A sidewalk, detached if possible, is required along James Court out to Shields.
3.11.03 - The 4' attached sidewalk shown is too narrow. Please widen to the edge of the
proposed ROW. It may be adjusted in areas to save trees, but, in general, needs to be
wider (min 55).
5.6.03 - Repeat.
Number:52 Created: 2/1912003 Resolved
Unless a variance request is applied for and approved, the required driveway entrance type
onto James Court is the standard driveway cut (angular, not radial).

The cover sheet is missing some items:
A note referencing the soils report.
The indemnification statement (from the utility plan checklist).
The P.E. statement (from the utility plan checklist).
A 2nd benchmark.
General notes 31, 32, 42, 43, 44, and 46.

Topic: General
Number:42 Created:2/19/2003 Resolved
The site/landscape plan is different than the submitted utility plan. It is unclear which
proposal is correct and should be reviewed. Please clarify which proposed plan is correct.
Number:43 Created:2/19/2003 Resolved
It is recommended that a fence not prohibit students that may be walking to CSU from
James Court. Consider placing bollards at the edge of the development and James Court to
allow direct pedestrian access to CSU. FOLLOW-UP COMMENT (3-19-03): It is still
recommended that students and or residents be able to walk or bike between lots. If parking
is a concern for residents on James Court, than parking policies need to be made clear to
future residents at the CSU dormitory that all personal vehicles must be parked in the lot
provided.
Number:44 Created:2/19/2003 Resolved
A meeting is requested to discuss the pedestrian and bicycle porosity in this area as
discussed in the West Central Neighborhood subarea plan.
Number:45 Created:2/19/2003 Resolved
Will the doors located near the bike racks be accessible to residents and visitors from the
outside?
Number:46 Created:2/19/2003 Resolved
There is a discrepancy between the site / landscape and the utility plan on the driveway cut
onto James Court. One plan has it identified for emergency access only, while the utility plan
has it open for public access. It is requested that the drive be open to both emergency
vehicles and the public. FOLLOW-UP COMMENT (3-19-03): The driveway cut onto James
Court is still requested to allow for full access to the parking lot and not be limited to
emergency vehicles. (5-7-02) A site and landscape plan showing all necessary
improvements is needed as part of the submittal.
Number:47 Created:2/19/2003 Pending
Please dedicate the required right of way (ROW) for James Court and Shields St. with this
submittal. James Court is a local street which consists of a 51 foot total ROW, and Shields
St. is a 4-Lane Arterial with a 115 foot total ROW from centerline. A sidewalk (detached
preferred) will need to be constructed along the frontage of James Court from Shields St.
and connect to the existing attached sidewalk along Burton Court. FOLLOW-UP COMMENT
(3-19-03): Since the sidewalk along James Court will be attached an additional foot of
concrete is required, which would increase the width to 5' 6". However, this does not include
the 6" curb. The total width of the sidewalk and curb should be 6 feet. (5-7-03) It is difficult to
Page 5
determine from the Utility Plans the width of the sidewalk along James Court. As stated
previously the minimum width of the walk and curb from the Shields St. walk to the walk on
Burton needs to be 6 feet if attached, while accounting for a smooth transition into existing
walks.
