RE: Meeting Minutes
Brandon,
I meant to add that a future 10' sidewalk and signal along Rock Prairie should be taken into
account with the design of ramps, crossing, etc.

Subject: RE: Meeting Minutes
Brandon,
In general your summary looks good. A few comments below, and Teresa may want to add comments as
well:
5. The hydrants will need to be flowed, and I submitted a request to Water Services.
6. "BCS" left turn...
7. Streetlight poles should be located adjacent to sidewalk in the greenspace leaving
approximately a 2+ ft clearance to curb.
9. The preliminary plan should be submitted asap and will go to a separate meeting ahead of Final
Plat. The construction documents can be submitted with or just following the preliminary plan.
Prior to the Final Plat being scheduled for P&Z, the construction documents must be approved
(Development Permit), associated the surety provided, and the associated required separate
instrument easements (PUE, access, slope, etc - if not on Final Plat) must be applied for and
prepared by CS Legal and ready for execution and filing.
13. Fyi, CSU will still need to review the design - but we will coordinate from Planning.
Let me know if you have further questions.

The following is our understanding of the subject matter covered in this meeting. The intent of this
conference memorandum is to address only a summary of the pertinent items discussed and not
necessarily all discussions. Please notify BBI within 24 hours if any changes are requested.
Discussion:
1. Setbacks should not be shown on prelim plan or final plat.
2. The preliminary utility easement widths were discussed. The following will be proposed on the
preliminary plan:
a. 10' utility easement along northern property boundary, southern property boundary
(Arnold Road ROW), and western property boundary.
b. 20' utility easement along eastern property boundary.
c. Utility easements will only be proposed along property boundary, not between lots.
3. The BCS United street, water, and sewer criteria will be used in design. Design to be in
accordance with public infrastructure criteria.
4. Drainage and water reports will be submitted in accordance with guidelines outlined in BCS
United guidelines. A sewer report will not be provided since the existing sewer line to the north
of the site is already in place.
5. BBI can request existing fire hydrant flow data from the City to use in developing the water
report. Alan will request that water services perform the flow tests and provide the data to BBI.
6. The BCS left turn lane geometric criteria can be used for right turn lanes as well. (80' taper, 100'
decel for minor collector.)

7. Street lights will be required along Arnold Road and Normand Drive. Alan will provide BBI with
the current street light standards for installations of poles between the back of curb and sidewalk.
Streetlight poles should be located adjacent to the sidewalk in the greenspace leaving
approximately a 2+ feet clearance to curb.
8. Brandon requested the Med drainage report that was used to design the existing detention pond.
The City has tried to locate the report but has been unable to do so.
9. The preliminary plan should be submitted asap and will go to a separate meeting ahead of Final
Plat. The construction documents can be submitted with or just following the preliminary plan.
Prior to the Final Plat being scheduled for P&Z, the construction documents must be approved
(Development Permit), associated the surety provided, and the associated required separate
instrument easements (PUE, access, slope, etc — if not on Final Plat) must be applied for and
prepared by CS Legal and ready for execution and filing.
10. In locations where the sidewalk meanders outside the ROW, a public access easement may be
requested.
11. BBI will be asked to separate the costs between the developer and the City. Generally speaking,
the infrastructure outside the private property will be paid for by the City, including pond
improvements, parking lot modifications, and decel lanes.
12. BBI will design the Arnold Road/Normand Drive intersection to allow for the future expansion of
Normand Drive.
13. The proposed storm sewer outfall along the CSU property will be designed to meet public
standards. CSU will need to review the proposed outfall design. Planning will coordinate the plan
review with CSU.
14. The 100 yr storm drainage path must be analyzed by the engineer to understand the proposed flow
path. A shallow swale may be required above the proposed outfall pipe or perhaps the pipe will
need to be sized to convey the 100 year storm.
15. Waterline crossings at intersections must be encased and offset to allow for maintenance.
16. The existing pond modifications will likely be the biggest project challenge. Retaining walls may
be proposed but care must be taken to ensure pedestrian safety. Concept plans for pond
modifications should be discussed with the City early in the design process. The reduction of pond
volume may be added to the proposed private pond at a 1:1 ratio.
17. If the site plan and plat are submitted concurrently, the City may review the 2 submittals jointly.
18. Parking lot improvements (including trees, irrigation, driveways etc.) should be submitted with
the construction documents.
19. A future 10' sidewalk and signal along Rock Prairie should be taken into account with the design
of ramps, crossings, etc. along Normand Drive.

RE: CS Med & Sr Living PP12-194
Fyi, the majority of the public sanitary sewer lines adjacent to this site are vitrified clay
constructed in the 1980's. These line are susceptible to damage from adjacent construction due to
material and age. It is suggested to consider replacing the lines with this development.
Otherwise, the City will perform a pre -construction TV inspection of the lines, to compare against
a post -construction TV inspection. At a minimum damaged lines will of course need to be replaced
by the development. Post -construction TV inspection will also be the responsibility of each
applicable development.

Erika - Below are my comments. Thanks for entering this for me.
Jason - Let me know if you still need my suggestions to your comments 10, 18, 23-26.

Fyi, the construction documents can now be submitted. Prior to the Final Plat being scheduled for
P&Z, the construction documents must be approved (Development Permit), associated the surety
provided, and the associated required separate instrument easements (PUE, access, slope, etc - if
not on Final Plat) must be applied for and prepared by CS Legal and ready for execution and
filing.
Provide existing width, as well as volume and page of Right of Way dedication through the The Med
property. Also identify additional approximated required Right of Way, access, slope easements,
etc.
Fyi, as you are aware, discussions are well underway regarding a possible agreement for
participation for portions of Normand Drive. Similarly, there are funds from the Med that likely
will be included in this agreement which involves modifications to the Med parking and detention
pond.
The current FEMA map panel 48041C0310E revised May 16, 2012 should be used and referenced.
Fyi, proposed public water lines should be designed to be no closer than 5.5 ft from the edge of
PUE.
Provide contour elevations and a applicable discharge flowline elevations.
Fyi, the southern proposed drainage course across the CS does not appear very defined. Further
discussion with the design is needed with the construction plans. CSU will still need to review
the design - but we will coordinate from Planning.
t
Much of the plat is hard to read. The outer boundary and calls (inc�ading POB, etc) should be
more bold and prominent. One particular boundary distance of 211.97 does not appear to match the
metes and bounds distance of 180.26.
Proposed curves in Arnold Road are not clearly labeled - provide curve table. Fyi, the minimum
centerline curve radius for a 2 lane minor collector is 430 ft.
Depict the power poles for the two lines crossing this acreage - with emphasis in ROW and proposed
easements. Fyi, the construction plans will need detailed information in this regard (guy wires,
proposed contours, etc) and may require line/pole adjustment.
Fyi, depiction of proposed detention ponds on preliminary plan does not at this stage of review
imply approval.
Fyi, coordination with the three residences which take access to Arnold is needed to ensure the
design and construction will maintain access and utilities throughout construction, and that the
future driveways, meters, etc are accommodated.
