Utility Plans
Sheet 22 - shows CR13 tying into Douglas Road - an improved Douglas Road
not existing Douglas Road. The plans that are currently in for review and
approval for Douglas Road improvements do not include this intersection.
Therefore need to show these improvements in this set if they are to be done
OR show how CR 13 improvements tie into existing Douglas Rd. The two
additional sheets that were included that show this intersection - if they are to
be included in this set they need to be numbered as a part of this set.

Showy Prairie Gentian -
The applicant will provided a letter to the Natural Resources Department
explaining that the stormwater runoff leaving the proposed drainage
easements into one of the areas were the plants have been seen
growing will be no greater than the two year historic release rate, and
that no construction will occur in the area. I meet with the applicant, his
Attorney and the City Attorney on June 26, 2001, where the applicant
agree to provide this information within the next two weeks.

Interpretive Signage-
• The Natural Resource Department agrees with the applicant that
because the circumstances of the location of the trail it would be
inappropriate to place the interpretive sign previously requested, so the
Natural Resource Department is no longer requesting the sign.

This project will also not be taken to hearing until the plans for Douglas Road
are completed and approved. You asked why this could not be taken to
hearing as you are working on a solution to the off -site improvements. I am not
willing to go in front of Planning and Zoning Board and the neighbors and
discuss how and when this project is going to have the off -site improvements
satisfied until I know that this will occur and how it is to occur.

Plat - Update the water supply and storage approval note. I think the attorneys
are still discussing this. I have written in what has been suggested by the City
Attorney.

Update the water supply and storage approval note. I think the attorneys are
still discussing this. I have written in what has been suggested by the City
Attorney. This note was deleted completely. What is up? They need to sign
the plans and we need to. agree onthe language.

Showing the outfall pipes cutting across the corner of lot 47 and not extending
under the path. Was this easement processed? If so by who?

Utility Plans
Need to indicate the inlet locations on Town Center Drive. Per section
1.02.03.06.e need a vertical curve for both the flowline and the centerline if the
grade change is greater than 1 %. It appears that is what is happening here,
therefore a vertical curve is needed. Or need additional information on what the
grades going into the inlets is that can show that it is within standards.

? All off. site easements and/or row are needed prior to scheduling of this
project for a final hearing. EASEMENTS and ROW needed - 1) row for CR13 -
to be dedicated to the county 2) Utility easement adjacent to CR13 - to be
dedicated to the county. 3) grading easement east of tract E and north of
Hearthfire Drive. 4) grading easement as well as drainage easement on the
Water Supply and Storage Property south of the southwest corner of the site.
5) construction easement for construction of the retaining wall on lot.48.
Easements being dedicated to the county need to be submitted to the county
for acceptance. I will need indication from the county that they have been
received prior to scheduling a hearing. - - - Response to this was "All
easements except for the construction easement noted in item #5 above have
been provided to date. For construction purposes of the retaining wall on lot
48, an easement has been added to the plans. The easement is now noted as
Temporary Retaining Wall Construction Easement'." - - - I have reviewed my
file and I have not received any signed easements ready for processing. I have
draft copies of the row and easement to be dedicated to the county (items #1
and #2 above), but have not gotten conformation from the county that they
have been received and processed - nor have the reception numbers for these
been added to the plat. I have no record of even seeing a draft of the grading
easement needed north of Hearthfire Drive (item #3). 1 did receive a draft
agreement from the Water Supply and Storage Company of which I have a
copy of a letter that Paul Eckman wrote in response. I haven't received
anything more regarding this issue and this was an agreement not the
easement dedications that have been asked for (item #4). It should be noted
that the latest submittal now shows additional grading on the Water Supply and
Storage Property south of Tract C. An agreement can provide permission to
enter the property and do grading, but we need easements dedicated to the
City for the drainage flows that cross the property. I did receive a draft of the
easement for construction of the retaining wall on lot 48. This is only a draft
and not a signed final document. Within the responses to my comments it was
indicated that the outfall pipes across lot 47 have "been addressed previously
by separate document, and is identified on this plans set as drainage
easement.". It is now being shown as a drainage easement, but has it been
dedicated as a drainage easement? This has not been processed by
Engineering, if it has been done who did it? All off site easements and /or row
are needed signed and in the final format ready for filing are needed prior to
scheduling this project for hearing. Please note the dedication document needs
to include the grantees name and address. I have attached comments on the
draft easement submitted for #5 as well as a copy of standard easement
language and process.

The following comments were expressed at the Staff review meeting on
Wednesday, June 27th:
Engineering -
.1. The big thing is still the required easements. The City has not yet
received the final, signed easements.
2. Work is still being done on the required Douglas Road plans. They are in
the City for review and comments are due to the applicant on July 11, 2001.
3. The Water Supply & Storage note on the subdivision plat needs to be
updated.
4. The signature block for Water Supply & Storage has been taken off the
utility plans. This signature block needs to be put back on the plans.
5. The different street plans appear to be inconsistent with one another.
Stormwater -
1 . The City still needs the final, signed easements that are required.
2. The affected ditch company's approval and signature block must be
provided on the applicable plans.
3. The permanent easement(s) for the outfall swale(s) is needed.
4. What is the purpose of the 2-rail white vinyl fence along Town Center
Way, adjacent to Lots 25 & 26? This could have some affect on the storm
drainage in this area.

Staff has reviewed your submittal for HEARTHFIRE PUD, 2ND FILING #31-95E, and we offer
the following comments:
ISSUES:
Current Planning
16 Issue Contact: Steve Olt
Why is a 2-rail white vinyl fence being proposed along each side of Town
Center Way, adjacent to Lots 25 & 26? Is this something that the developer
wants? This is not a City requirement. If it is something that the developer really
wants then how will the 2 lot owners be made aware of the requirement? They
probably will want to put 6' high solid fences along those property lines.
17 Issue Contact: Steve Olt
The street name Town Center Way is a conflict and needs to be changed.
18 Issue Contact: Steve Olt
What is the "North County Road 13 Annexation"? If referenced on the plans (as
it is on the Site Plan), there needs to be a Recording or Reference # of some
sort. The east 1/2 (only) of County Road 13 was annexed into the City with the
Country Club North Second Annexation. The City does not have any record of
the "North County Road 13 Annexation", by separate document or anything
else.
19 Issue Contact. Steve Olt
There is a portion of the landscaped berm in Tract E that extends into Lot 1.
This should not really be. That lot owner will probably want to fence in the entire
lot, which could be somewhat difficult and strange with the landscaped berm
encroaching.

Dear Tom,
Staff has completed a review of your revisions for the Hearthfire PUD,
Second Filing.- Final that were submitted to the City on June 4, 2001.
A copy of the STAFF PROJECT REVIEW comment letter is attached.
The most significant outstanding issues are centered around the
necessary off -site easements, the necessary Douglas Road improvements
plans, and Water Supply & Storage approval and signature blocks on the
appropriate plans. Another full round of review may not be necessary;
however, the stated issues must be resolved before the item can be
placed on a Planning and Zoning Board public hearing agenda.
Also, this development proposal is still subject to the City's 90-day
turnaround period (as set forth in the Land Use Code)that begins on the
date of the comment letter prepared by the project planner in the
Current Planning Department. In this case the date is 7/03/01. The
outstanding issues must be resolved so that the item can be scheduled
for public hearing or revisions re -submitted with the 90 day period.
You may contact me at 221-6341 if you have questions about these
comments or would like to schedule a meeting to discuss them.
Sincerely,
e.&k-
