Comment Number: 4 03/14/2023: SUBMITTAL: All plans should be saved as optimized/flattened PDFs to reduce file size and remove layers. Per the Electronic Submittal Requirements AutoCAD SHX attributes need to be removed from the PDF’s. AutoCAD turns drawing text into comments that appear in the PDF plan set, and these must be removed prior to submittal as they can cause issues with the PDF file. The default setting is "1" ("on") in AutoCAD. To change the setting and remove this feature, type "EPDFSHX" (version 2016.1) or “PDFSHX (version 2017 and newer) in the command line and enter "0".

Page 3 of 6 Comment Number: 9 03/14/2023: INFORMATION: LUC 2.211 Lapse, Term of Vested Right: Within a maximum of three (3) years following the approval of a final plan or other site-specific development plan, the applicant must undertake, install and complete all engineering improvements (water, sewer, streets, curb, gutter, streetlights, fire hydrants and storm drainage) in accordance with city codes, rules and regulations. The period of time shall constitute the "term of the vested property right." Failure to undertake and complete such engineering improvements within the term of the vested property right shall cause a forfeiture of the vested property right and shall require resubmission of all materials and reapproval of the same to be processed as required by this Code. All dedications as contained on the final plat shall remain valid unless vacated in accordance with law. Department: Engineering Development Review Contact: Dave Betley dbetley@fcgov.com 970-221-6573 Topic: General Comment Number: 23 03/15/2023: For Approval: Based on the conversation during review, the storm drain line located south of the intersection of Brittany Lemay will need further review to make sure there is space for all of the dry and wet utilities at this location. Comment Number: 24 07/05/2023: For Information: The applicant does not have the LUCASS detail in the plans. The trenching detail from the FC\Loveland Water District. This often times causes confusion if the trench is partially located in the right of way. The FC\Loveland Water district detail does not address the compaction criteria required for the roadway surface. This often times can lead to confusion for the contractor. The right of way inspectors have the final authority on the trenching requirement for the right of way. It will help lessen confusion in the field. Department: Stormwater Engineering – Erosion Control Contact: Basil Hamdan bhamdan@fcgov.com 970-222-1801 Topic: Erosion Control Comment Number: 3 05/26/2023: FOR FINAL APPROVAL [UPDATED]: The Erosion Control Estimate should include seeding and mulching for areas that are graded for future lots. 03/14/2023: Please provide phased calculations for the Erosion Control Security estimate. All areas that will be initially graded with Phase 1 construction and be later constructed need to be seeded and mulched in the interim period. Page 4 of 6 Topic: Fees Comment Number: 4 05/26/2023: 03/14/2023: INFORMATION: The City Manager’s development review fee schedule under City Code 7.5-2 was updated to include fees for Erosion Control and Stormwater Inspections. As of January 1st, 2021, these fees will be collected on all projects for such inspections. The Erosion Control fees are based on; the number of building permits, the total site disturbance, the estimated number of years the project will be active. Based on the proposed site construction associated with this project we are assuming 17 building permits, 8.43 acres of disturbance, 4 years from demo through build out of construction and an additional 3 years till full vegetative stabilization due to seeding which results in an Erosion Control Inspection Fee estimate of $3,747.02 . The Stormwater Quality Inspection Fee is based on the number of LID/WQ Features that are designed for on this project. Based on the plans we identified 2 rain gardens/bioretention and 1 extended detention basin which results in an estimate of the Stormwater LID/WQ Inspection fee of $ 880.00. Please note that as the plans and any subsequent review modifications of the above-mentioned values change the fees may need to be adjusted. I have provided a copy of the spreadsheet used to arrive at these estimates for your review. These fees will need to be paid prior to the issuance of a building permit on this site. Topic: General Comment Number: 1 07/05/2023: FOR FINAL APPROVAL[UPDATED]: Not providing an easement for the rain garden is not acceptable. 05/26/2023: FOR FINAL APPROVAL[UPDATED]: Please provide a drainage easement for north rain garden 03/14/2023: It is preferred to have a separate drainage easement for drainage facilities rather than a blanket drainage easement covering all the areas that are outside of building envelopes. Comment Number: 2 07/05/2023:FOR FINAL APPROVAL: Please resubmit the drainage report. The redlined utility plans were not submitted, please submit these with any future submittal. 03/14/2023: FDP230007 Please address all the relined comments provided on the redlined plans and reports for both stormwater and Erosion Control. Comment Number: 5 05/26/2023: The Landscape Plan shows the detention pond to just have a grass mix, please add trees and shrubs to the basin so that it can be an amenity to the site in compliance with the City's Detention Pond Landscape Standards which is part of the City's stormwater criteria. Page 5 of 6 Department: Light And Power Contact: Rob Irish rirish@fcgov.com 970-224-6167 Topic: General Comment Number: 1 07/07/2023: For Approval - Updated: Electric easement has been changed to 6 feet. Thank you for that. It appears the Plat is still indicating a 5 foot easement. Please update the Plat. 05/30/2023: For Approval - Updated: A 5 foot easement is proposed for the electric facilities. Could this be upsized to a 6 foot easement? 03/12/2023: For Approval: All proposed existing and proposed Light & Power facilities that will remain within the limits of the project must be located within a Utility easement. The proposed transformer locations and the future primary routing to feed the transformers does not appear to be in a proposed utility easement. The proposed 35 foot utility easement doesn't look to be large enough for all the utilities. Please work directly with me to determine the primary electric routing and transformer locations and incorporate them in an easement. Please see redline for reference. Comment Number: 3 07/07/2023: Information Only: C-1 Forms will need to be completed in full at time of DCP. 05/30/2023: For Approval - Updated: Please submit a C-1 Form and One-line diagram for each transformer for the multi-family buildings and any additional commercial meters. Any change to the number and/or size of proposed transformers could require site plan modifications. 03/12/2023: For Approval: A Customer Information Form (C-1 form) and a One-line diagram will need to be submitted to Light & Power Engineering for all proposed multi-family buildings and any proposed commercial meters. A link to the C-1 form is below: http://www.fcgov.com/utilities/business/builders-and-developers/development-forms-guidelines-regulations Comment Number: 5 07/07/2023: For Approal - Updated: This comment is referring to the single-family dwelling units along Brittany. 05/30/2023: For Approval - Updated: No gas facilities are shown on the plan set. Electric primary is proposed in the parkway with electric secondary behind the walk in the utility easement. If gas is installed and any conflicts arise, site plan modifications or easements could be necessary. 03/12/2023: For Approval: Will gas be installed for the single-family lots along Brittany? With the existing street trees in the tree lawn, it may be necessary for Light & Power to install the electric in the utility easement. This is normally where gas routing would be. Please work with me to determine the best route for electric. Depending on the answer, one alternative would be to install the electric in the rear of the single-family homes taking access of the private drive. If this location is determined to work the best, the proposed utility easement will need to be modified to allow for electric installation. Comment Number: 12 07/07/2023: For Approval: Please label the 2 transformers for the multi-family buildings XR1, XR2 or TR1, TR2. This will make it easier for coordination with the C-1 Forms and One-lines. Thank you.
