TO: Ms. Kirsten Whetstone
FROM: Mr. Terry Farrill, Systems Engineer
DATE: July 8, 1994
SUBJECT: FOX HILLS PUD - 2ND FILING
The Fort Collins -Loveland Water District and the South Fort Collins
Sanitation District have reviewed the above mentioned project and
submit the following comments:
1. The General Note #1, on Sheet 1 of 14, should read...
"All sanitary sewer and water construction shall conform
to the South Fort Collins Sanitation District and the
Fort. Collins -Loveland Water District Standard and
Specifications current at the time of construction".
2. The water line in Red Fox Court is to be located on the
northside of the center line and the sanitary sewer line
is to be located on the southside of the center line.
3. Exclusive easements are required for all facilities that
are not located within public right-of-way. The
easements are to be provided on the District standard
easement forms.
4. The Sanitary sewer line to Black Fox Court is to be
centered in the easement.
5. A manhole is to be added to the sanitary sewer line in
Kit Fox Court to maintain the sanitary sewer line within
the street.
6. The water line in Luther Lane is to be located on the
northside of the center line and the sanitary sewer line
is to be maintained by use of another manhole on the
southside of the center line.

7. The six inch water line located at the end of Red Fox
Road is to be redesigned to maintain the water line
within the street approximately five foot off center
line.
8. Adequate and appropriate erosion control is to be
provided for all District facilities.
9. Air release valves are to be sized and located at the
high points on the water lines.
Due to the number and nature of the comments, the District will
require another review.

Dear Mr. Ward,
City Staff has reviewed your submittal for Fox Hills Second Filing,
RF Cluster Man, and preliminary subdivision plat, and offers the
following written comments:
1. Review of these plans should not be construed as a commitment
that telephone facilities sufficient to serve this project are
presently available. US West will provide telephone service
in accordance with the rates and tariffs on file with the
Colorado Utilities Commission.
2. Telephone facilities generally occupy platted utility
easements, which must be located on terrain which permits
trenching operations.
3. The developer is responsible for provision of all trench,
street crossings, and ditch crossings for telephone facilities
within the project, and the developer pays up front
construction costs for facilities within the development.
4. Any relocation of existing telephone facilities required by
these plans will be paid for by the developer.
5. The developer may be required to provide off -site easements to
Taft Hill Road from the development, in order to make electric
service available to this site. Please contact Doug Martine
at Light and Power (221-6700) to discuss this issue.
6. Front lot utility easements need to be 91. This is a new
standard and should be reflected on both the plat and site
plan.
7. If Wildflower Ridge PUD has approval at the County, it would
be helpful to some of the reviewing agencies (and they have
asked f-or it) if this subdivision, lots and streets, were
shown on the site plan, as was done with Taft Canyon and Fox
Hills 1st.
The existing 4" gas main in Red Fox Road will end up under the
sidewalk. Therefore, PSC will need to do part or all of their
281 North College Avenue
P.O. Box 580 • Fort Collins, CO 80522-0580 • (303) 221-6750
gas main construction prior to pouring sidewalks, in order to
tie into the existing gas main.
9. Emergency Services Dispatch has suggested that Kit Fox Road
and Kit Fox Court be renamed as there is a subdivision to the
north (off of Drake Road?) that has a Fox Run, Kit Court,
Foxhole Court, and Foxglen Court.
10. The Fire Authority has some concerns about a 28' wide street
for Kit Fox Court, but Engineering believes the layout and
number of lots meets the criteria for a 28' wide street. Do
you anticipate three car garages, or larger driveway aprons on
these lots to provide adequate off-street parking?
11. The RF Zone has setback requirements which can not be varied,
without approval of the Zoning Board of Appeals. There is no
administrative process to change setbacks, as this is not a
PUD. Setbacks should be as follows: 20' front, 15' rear, 5'
side, and 15' corner side.
12. The entry sign and associated entry landscaping need to be
located in a separate tract and maintained by the HOA. The
City will not accept this area as part of the open space
dedication.
13. The City Forester will need to approve any proposed plantings
in the open space area. Comments will be forwarded to you
when they are available.
14. Please revise language on the site plan and plat concerning
the trail. It should not be shown as a trail easement, but
rather as a "proposed trail alignment (exact location may
vary)". If the area is dedicated to the City, there will not
be a need for a separate easement for the trail.
15. Parks and Recreation has requested that the narrow area
between lots, ie between Lots 5 and 6, 13 and 14, 20 and 21,
17 and 18, 25 and 26, and 31 and 32 be deleted from the open
space dedication. The City does not want the responsibility
of maintenance for these areas. Staff suggests that you put
these areas in the lots, and if utility easements for sewer
are needed, show them on the lots. If Lots 4 and 5 are
shifted to the west into the open area, it would provide a
more optimal corridor for the trail through that area.
16. The Natural Resources Department requests that the
conservation easement on Lot 18 be removed. This area should
be part of the open space area. Staff suggests that the open
space area between Lots 17 and 18 be added to Lot 18 to
compensate for this. Conservation easements are not very
enforceable. Rear and side yard fencing along the open space
area should be natural colors as opposed to white. These
houses will be fairly prominent on the hill and white pickets
would call unnecessary attention to them (not that you had
proposed white, but just in case someone else does).
17. Do you know anything more about the timing of the proposed
signal at Taft Hill and 38E? This was a major concern at the
neighborhood meeting and we need to have information to
present to the Planning and Zoning Board. Has the developer
had a second meeting with the neighbors to discuss their
concerns and suggestions for diverting, slowing, stopping
traffic through their subdivision?
18. The location of the trail head parking lot was an issue at the
neighborhood meeting. I will contact Parks and Recreation to
find out where they stand on this issue.
19. Is there any potential for a connection to the south to
connect to Westridge Estates? If so, it may be a good idea to
dedicate: an access easement from the side of the cul-de-sac of
Red Fox Road to the property line, for potential, future
connection. Also, is there any need to provide a connection
to the east between lots 3 and 4 to allow the large single
family parcel access to Red Fox Road? I have not heard back
from the Transportation Department, but will pass on their
concerns when I do.
20. Curb and gutter will be required on Luther Lane. No sidewalks
is OK with the Engineering Department, but Planning and Parks
suggest that you consider a walk on one side to provide
pedestrian access to the trail. Or possibly, walks part way
down from Lot 25 with a short connection over to the trail at
the bend in the road, or before.
21. Stormwater comments will be forwarded under separate cover.
This concludes staff comments at this time. In order to stay on
schedule for the January 24, 1994 Planning and Zoning Board
hearing, please note the following deadlines:
Plan revisions are due January 4th (4 sets of plans and
written documentation responding to the above concerns),
PMT's (one PMT of each plan sheet), colored renderings, and 8
prints are due January 17th.
Final mylars and other documents are due as soon as possible
following the hearing.
Please be aware that the development agreement and utility
plans must be signed prior to the Planning and Zoning Board
Hearing, for all PUD's. If not, a condition will be placed on
the project giving you 30 days to finalise the plans and
agreement, after which time, you must submit a request for an
extension, to the Planning and Zoning Board.
If you have any questions about these comments or would like to
schedule a time to meet to discuss them, please contact me at 221-
6750.

Dear Mr. Hoaglund,
and Environmental �rvices '*6ez"t
City Staff has reviewed your submittal for Fox Hills RF-Subdivision
Plat -final, and offers the following written comments:
1. Review of these plans should not be construed as a commitment
that telephone facilities sufficient to serve this project are
presently available. US West will provide telephone service
in accordance with the rates and tariffs on file with the
Colorado Utilities Commission.
2. Telephone facilities generally occupy rear lot utility
easements, which must be located on terrain which permits
trenching operations.
3. The developer is responsible for provision of all trench,
street crossings, and ditch crossings for telephone facilities
within the project, and the developer pays up front
construction costs for facilities within the development.
4. Any relocation of existing telephone facilities required by
these plans will be paid for by the developer.
5. The existing 4" gas main in Red Fox Road will end up to be
under the sidewalk. Therefore, Public Service Company will
need to stub out from under the sidewalk area for Fox Hills
1st and 2nd prior to sidewalk construction.
6. On the Plat:
This is not a PUD, it is a subdivision. Please correct the
title and legal.
The parcel at the SE corner of CR 38E and Red Fox Road does
not have a lot or tract number, or square footage. If this is
Tract A the arrow should point into that box.
Is Red Fox Road not within the City limits? Has the right-of-
way for Red Fox Road been dedicated? Please indicate the
status of this road on the plat.
2N1 V'orth College Avenue • P.O. 6os a80 • Fort Collins, CO 80�;"-0�;8() • (303) 221-h7�;0
Tracts I and J need square footage information. Also, the
plat should state the general use of these tracts, ie public
access, open space, utility, drainage, ...etc.
All of the control monuments must be described.
Label point of beginning on the plat.
Is the section of land north of Tract A right-of-way for CR
38E?
7. Police Department has concerns with the street names, but we
understood that Kit Fox Court is an existing name on Fox Hills
First Filing. Is this true?
8. Parks and Recreation would appreciate a note on the plat that
the future Fossil Creek Trail will traverse Tracts I and J at
a location to be determined.
9. Please note that Natural Resources would like a note on the
site plan, which has not yet been filed, that the developer is
responsible for revegetation of disturbed areas, using an
appropriate native grass mix. Natural Resources can provide
a list of appropriate mixes.
10. Storm drainage and engineering comments will be routed
directly to your engineer. Please be aware that there are
problems with the drainage and grading plans, the terrain is
steep and erosion potential high, slope stability analysis may
be required, and there are problems with undetained flows,
gulleys, and off -site flows. Identification of the ultimate
outfall is not clear and off -site easements will be needed to
address these flows. Stormwater staff caution that there are
many unresolved issues that may delay this project unless
these issues are addressed soon.
11. Please :Label the north arrow on the vicinity map.
This concludes staff comments at this time. In order to stay on
schedule for the July 25, 1994 Planning and Zoning Board hearing,
please note the following deadlines:
Plan revisions are due July 7th (3 sets of plans and written
documentation responding to the above concerns),
PMT's (one PMT of each plan sheet), colored renderings, and 8
prints are due July 18th.
Final mylars and other documents are due as soon as possible
following the hearing.
Please be aware that the development agreement and utility
plans must be signed prior to the Planning and Zoning Board
Hearing„ for all Final PUD's. If not, a condition will be
placed on the project giving you 30 days to finalise the plans
and agreement, after which time, you must submit a request for
an extension, to the Plaaaing and Zoning Board.
If you have any questions about these comments or would like to
schedule a time to meet to discuss them, please contact me at 221-
6750.
