Dear LeeAnn:
City staff has reviewed the Twin Spruce Farm PUD Site Plan and has the
following comments to make:
I. A 6' utility easement needs to be dedicated along the east side of the
property. If any changes to the existing power are needed, contact Light
and Power.
2. Any relocation of existing telephone facilities will be at the property
owner's expense.
3. The height, materials and location of the existing fence and gate need to
be specified on the site plan.
4. The Poudre Fire Authority will need access through the existing gate: A
knoxbox or other means of providing access for emergency vehicles needs
to be located on the site plan. The radius on the last turn existing the
site needs to be as close to 40' as possible, for fire equipment access.
5. A drainage report/letter is required. Additional impervious area is being
proposed with the new parking area; therefore, on -site detention must be
provided, or the impervious surface can be offset by removal of existing
impervious surfaces. The removal of the brick pathways discussed during
Conceptual Review does not meet the intent of offsetting imperviousness
since the pathways are only garden walkways which contribute to the
flower/planting beds; however, some consideration may be given to the
brick pathways for offsetting impervious areas.
6. Existing curb, gutter and sidewalk need to be shown on the site and utility
plans.
7. The dri.vcway dimensions need to be shown on the utility plans: 11' the
drivcwav and curbcut at Mulberry are to be widened, a curbcut permit
will be necessary from the Engineering Department.

8. Two lights are proposed for removal with the new parking area. If these
lights arc going to be placed elsewhere on the site, the location needs to
be specified on the site plan,
9. An access easement for the parking and driveway needs to be provided by,
the property owner, or a letter permitting access and releasing the. City
from any liability from emergency service equipment using this area for
access could be substituted.
10. Clarification is needed regarding where the office use is to be located, as
well as the proposed square footage of the office and residential uses.
11. Clarification is needed regarding the total number of parking spaces on the
site (including garage spaces) and which spaces will be for the residential
use of the site. This also includes the brick paving area in and around
the residence and carriage house which may be used for parking.
12. The maximum number of employees proposed needs to be specified on the
site plan. If a maximum of 10 employees are anticipated and employees
maintain staggered work hours, staff would encourage the applicant to
reduce the number of parking spaces proposed on the site. City
requirements are two spaces for every three employees and as designed,
there appears to be more parking than needed to support 10 employees.
Reducing the amount of parking would minimize the amount of pavement
to be added and potentially retain trees that would otherwise be removed
for the parking area.
13. The site plan needs to provide coverage information (ie. % of coverage of
buildings, driveway/parking and openspace/landscaped area) and land uses
within 150' of the site.
14. Any proposed signage must be specified on the site plan.
By Wednesday, June 6, 1990
