The electronic message board moratorium is provided in case the Planning Commission is unable to complete work on this matter before year end, though they have been making progress. The medical marijuana moratorium is consistent with state statute (no new apps may be filed prior to July 2012) and is provided to ensure clarity and consistency with the State. See the Planner Briefing for details regarding the Public Hearings. Both Grand Beginnings and Headwater Trails will be providing annual updates regarding their programs and plans for 2012. We have funding requests from both entities that are under consideration by the Budget Committee. Both Winter Park Ranch Water and Sanitation District and Grand County Water and Sanitation District #1 have approved the Capital Replacement Reserve Study/Plan and the 2012 Joint Facilities Budget. Accordingly, a resolution is provided for the Town Board to do the same. See enclosed materials from the Public Works Director regarding the contract for the drainage work along Leonard Lane.

The Code states that “the Planning Commission (PC) may propose amendments to the subdivision regulations, as needed. The PC shall recommend approval or approval with conditions or denial of the proposed amendments at a public hearing following public notice. The amendments must be The PC approved by the Town Board (TB) at a public hearing following public notice. and TB may choose to issue coordinated notices of such public hearing in order to conduct a joint public hearing for this purpose.” So, we are having a joint PC/TB public hearing on November 2, 2011! As a side bar, we are combining the Minimum Design Criteria and Construction Standards (Water, Sanitary Sewer, Street & Roadway, Stormwater and Private Infrastructure) into one document and this will become a new chapter in the Fraser Municipal Code, Chapter 14. You will see that some of the proposed amendments to the Subdivision Regulations simply refer the reader to the “Standards”. This is an effort to reduce redundancy and have the information in one document instead of having the same information in the Subdivision Regulations and the Standards. bold red **Proposed amendments to the subdivisions regulations are in and the deletions are in strikethrough. If the proposed amendments are self-explanatory, then there will be no comment. Article 1: Section 17-1-100 has been deleted and replaced in its entirety. It refers the reader to a new section in the Town Code, Section 1-3-70. Refer to Ordinance No. 389 for the specific language. This allows the Town of Fraser to require an applicant to provide a cash deposit to secure payment of the anticipated processing fees and additional costs relating to the application not covered by the application fee. Article 2: Section 17-2-20, Words and terms defined. This section has been word-smithed to match proposed changes in Article 5. Article 3: Added “Minor Plat Amendments: to title. Section 17-3-20(d), Changed the language in regard to mineral estate owners to match Colorado State Statutes. Town of Fraser PO Box 370, Fraser, CO 80442 office 970-726-5491 fax 970-726-5518 www.frasercolorado.com Section 17-3-20(i)(4), Deleted specific requirements for digital files. Specific requirements for digital for digital submittals can be obtained from the Planning Dept. This change will allow us to keep up the changes in technology and we won’t have to change the subdivision regulations as digital requirements change. Article 5: Section 17-5-110, Phased Development Review Process. This section has been added to allow phased development. Article 6: Assurance for Completion and Maintenance of Improvements. This section relates to infrastructure improvements and acceptance of those improvements. This section had been amended based on developer feedback and Town of Fraser lessons learned over the past several years. Section 17-6-10(d) (1) allows a warranty bond to be substituted as the performance guarantee for the final 20% of the initial performance guarantee during the warranty period after preliminary acceptance. Article 7: Section 17-7-510, Adoption of Standards, refers the reader to the new Chapter 14 of the Fraser Town Code, entitled “Minimum Design Criteria and Construction Standards.” Division 5, General Standards, have been reorganized in a more logical manner. Section 17-7-390, Exterior Lighting, has been beefed up to address growing concerns about light pollution. This was a goal in the 2010 Comprehensive Plan. Section 17-7-400, Landscaping and Natural Features, has been also been beefed up to add more details on what is required in a landscaping plan. The exterior lighting and landscaping sections will be the same language as in the Business Zone regulations (upcoming public hearing on 11/16/2011). That about covers the proposed amendments to the Subdivision Regulations. Please contact me, ctrotter@town.fraser.co.us if you have any comments or questions prior to the public hearing. Thanks.

As provided in these regulations, the Planning Commission is delegated with the authority to review and make recommendations to the Board of Trustees regarding such matters, but such recommendation shall not be binding on the Board of Trustees. (Ord. 322 § 12-1-2, 2006) Sec. 17-1-30. Policy. 4 (a) It is the policy of the Town to consider the subdivision of land and the subsequent development of the subdivided land as subject to the control of the Town pursuant to this Code, the Comprehensive Plan, these subdivision regulations and all other applicable regulations, ordinances, codes, and rules of the Town for the orderly, planned, efficient and economical development of the Town. All proposed subdivisions for which Town approval is required under these regulations shall be consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. No application for subdivision shall be approved if not in conformance with the Comprehensive Plan, and such failure shall be a reasonable ground for denial of the application. (b) Land to be subdivided shall be of such character that it can be used safely for building purposes without danger to health or peril from fire, flood or other menace. Land shall not be subdivided until adequate public facilities and improvements exist and proper provisions have been made for water, sewer, stormwater drainage, schools, parks, open space, trails, recreation, transportation facilities and other improvements necessary to serve the proposed subdivision. (Ord. 322 § 12-1-3, 2006) Sec. 17-1-40. Purposes. These regulations are adopted for the following purposes: (1) To protect and provide for the public health, safety and welfare of the Town; (2) To guide future growth and development of the Town in accordance with the Comprehensive Plan; (3) To provide for adequate light, air and privacy, to secure safety from fire, flood and other danger, and to prevent overcrowding of land and undue congestion; (4) To protect the character, social and economic stability of all parts of the Town and to encourage orderly and strategic development through appropriate growth management techniques; (5) To protect and conserve the value of land, buildings and improvements throughout the Town, and to minimize the conflicts among land uses; (6) To guide public policy to ensure that public facilities and services are available with sufficient capacity to serve the proposed development and that the new development does not burden the Town's fiscal resources; 5 (7) To provide the most beneficial relationship between land uses and traffic circulation throughout the Town; (8) To establish standards of design and procedures for subdivisions and to ensure proper legal descriptions and monumenting of subdivided land; (9) To prevent air, water and light pollution and to encourage the wise use and management of natural resources throughout the Town; (10) To preserve natural beauty and protect environmentally critical areas throughout the Town and to ensure appropriate development with regard to these natural features; (11) To provide for open spaces through the most efficient design and layout of the land; and (12) To regulate such other matters as the Board of Trustees may deem necessary in order to protect the best interest of the public. (Ord. 322 § 12-1-4, 2006) 17-1-50. Jurisdiction. Sec. These regulations apply to all subdivisions and resubdivisions of land located within the corporate boundaries of the Town and, to the extent permitted by Section 31-23-212, C.R.S., also apply to the major street plan component of these regulations and not otherwise, to subdivision of land located within three (3) miles of the corporate boundaries of the Town. (Ord. 322 § 12-1-5, 2006) Sec. 17-1-60. Interpretation, conflict and severability.

These regulations are not intended to interfere with, abrogate or annul any other ordinance, rule, regulation, statute or other provision of law except as provided in these regulations. Where any provision of these regulations imposes restrictions different from those imposed by any other provision of these regulations or any other ordinance, rule, regulation, statute or other provision of law, the provision which is more restrictive or 6 imposes higher standards shall govern. (2) Private provisions. These regulations are not intended to abrogate any private easement, covenant, agreement or restriction. It is not the intent of these regulations, and it may not be implied or inferred, that the Town will enforce any private easement, covenant, agreement or restriction, such provisions being a function of the right of individual property owners to further or separately restrict the use of their property as one (1) of the rights attendant upon property ownership. These regulations shall not be interpreted to either enhance or diminish such private restrictions, and the existence of such private restrictions shall neither enhance nor diminish the application or enforceability of these regulations. (c) Severability. If any part, provision or application of these regulations to any person or circumstances is adjudged invalid by any court of competent jurisdiction, the judgment shall be confined in its operation to the part, provision or application directly involved in the controversy in which the judgment shall be rendered and shall not affect or impair the validity of the remainder of these regulations or the application of them to other persons or circumstances. The Town declares that it would have enacted the remainder of these regulations even without any such part, provision or application which is judged invalid. (Ord. 322 §12-1-6, 2006) Sec. 17-1-70. Saving provision. These regulations shall not be construed as abating any action now pending under or, by virtue of prior existing subdivision regulations, as discontinuing, abating, modifying or altering any penalty accruing or about to accrue, as affecting the liability of any person, firm or corporation, as waiving any right of the Town under any section or provision existing at the time of adoption of these regulations, or as vacating or annulling any rights obtained by any person, firm or corporation, by lawful action of the Town, except as shall be expressly provided for in these regulations. (Ord. 322 § 12-1-7, 2006) Sec. 17-1-80. Repeal of prior regulations; application to developments in process.

Such resolution and ordinance are continued in force and effect for that limited 7 purpose only and, upon approval or denial of all such remaining applications, shall be deemed repealed. In no event shall any resubmission of a subdivision application after its rejection, or any resubdivision application filed after the effective date of these regulations, be reviewed under any such prior regulations. (Ord. 322 § 12-1-8, 2006) Sec. 17-1-90. Amendments. For the purpose of protecting the public health, safety and welfare, the Planning Commission may propose amendments to these regulations, as needed. The Planning Commission shall recommend approval or approval with conditions or denial of the proposed amendments at a public hearing following public notice.

Division 3 Public Dedication Sec. 17-7-170. Purpose. The purpose of the public dedication requirement is to provide public facilities and/or services made necessary as a consequence of a subdivision, in an amount roughly proportional to the impact of the subdivision upon such facilities and/or services or the increased need for them brought about by a subdivision. New residential subdivisions require services provided 79 through municipal facilities which are constructed, in part, through dedication of land necessary to construct the facilities. Absent land dedication by new subdivisions, sufficient land may not be made available at the time of subdivision to provide necessary services to new residents. In order to provide public services, the Town requires certain dedications of land or, in the appropriate circumstances, payment of fees in lieu of dedication. It is the intent of this Section that new development pay its proportionate or pro rata share of the costs attributable to the new growth, thereby relieving the public generally from subsidizing the cost of improvements and facilities attributable to new development. Each residential subdivision of land within the Town shall dedicate land or, where appropriate, pay a fee in lieu of dedication for schools and parks in accordance with this Section. The location of dedication required shall be mutually agreed upon by the Town and the applicant. The Town may consider recommendations from other agencies which would be directly involved in the development and services of these areas. Sec. 17-7-180. Dedications and/or conveyances. Land dedications and/or conveyances shall be negotiated either upon annexation of the land area to the Town or prior to final plat approval and shall be implemented in one (1) of the following ways: (1) A fee simple dedication to the Town granted via plat note on the final plat. (2) A fee simple conveyance to the Town granted via warranty deed. (3) A fee simple conveyance to a homeowners' association granted via warranty deed may be acceptable for open space, if approved by the Town. (4) Payment of fees in lieu of land dedications where permitted and approved by the Town. Sec. 17-7-190. Dedications and/or conveyances to Town and/or homeowners' association. Whenever a subdivision application involves land that is to be dedicated and/or conveyed to the Town and/or to a homeowners' association (HOA), the applicant shall submit, with the final plat application, a warranty deed to transfer such property to the Town or the HOA, together with a title insurance commitment indicating that the land is owned by the applicant free and clear from all 80 liens, encumbrances and restrictions. Title insurance shall be provided by the applicant in an amount equal to the approximate value of the property to be dedicated and/or conveyed, as approved by the Town. The executed deed, if applicable, and the payment of the premium for the title insurance policy shall be delivered to the Town prior to the recording of the final plat. (Ord. 322 § 12-6-6, 2006) Sec. 17-7-200. Land dedication for schools. The Board of Trustees has adopted a resolution setting forth the formula to be used to determine the provision of land areas for schools within a subdivision. Land dedicated for public school use within a subdivision shall not include steep slopes, hazardous geologic formations, adverse topography or other features that may be harmful to the health, safety or welfare of the public. Sec. 17-7-210. Fees-in-lieu for schools. (a) In lieu of any dedication of land required by this Division, the Town may request and, if requested, the applicant shall make, a payment to the Town if: (1) The Town determines that the amount or quality of land to be dedicated by the applicant pursuant to this Section would not be of adequate size or quality to achieve the purpose of the dedication; or (2) The Town determines that the dedication of land would not serve the health, safety or welfare of the public. (b) The amount of the payment in lieu of any land dedication shall be determined as follows: multiply the fair market per acre value of the entire property proposed for subdivision, as of the date immediately prior to approval of the final plat, by the total acreage of land that is required for dedication. (c) The fair market acre value of land, for purposes of determining the amount of a payment in lieu of land dedication, shall be determined by mutual agreement between the Town and the applicant. In the event of inability of the above parties to agree on the fair market acre value of the subject land, an independent real estate appraisal shall be obtained by the Town at the applicant's cost. The value determined by the appraisal shall be binding upon the Town and the applicant. 81 (d) Payments made under the requirements of this Section shall be made payable to the Town of Fraser. All moneys collected by the Town shall be deposited in an interest-bearing account which clearly identifies the category, amount or fund of capital expenditure for which the moneys were collected. Each such category, account or fund shall be accounted for separately. Any interest or other income earned on such moneys shall be credited to the account. The Town shall receive such funds either upon annexation of the land area to the Town or at the time of final plat approval. (e) Funds may be withdrawn from the interest-bearing account only for the acquisition of reasonably necessary sites and land areas or for capital outlay purposes for schools and/or for growth-related planning functions by the school district for educational purposes. Sec. 17-7-220. Transfer to school district. Land conveyed to the Town for public school sites shall be transferred and conveyed to the appropriate school district upon written request by the district.

Sec. 17-7-240. Fees-in-lieu (a) In lieu of any dedication of land required by this Division, the Town may request and, if requested, the applicant shall make a payment to the Town if: (1) The Town determines that the amount or quality of the land to be dedicated by the applicant pursuant to this Section would not be of adequate size or quality to achieve the purpose of the dedication; or (2) The Town determines that the dedication of the land would not serve the health, safety or welfare of the public. (b) The amount of the payment in lieu of any land dedication shall be determined as follows: multiply the fair market per acre value of the entire property proposed for subdivision, as of the date immediately prior to approval of the final plat, by the total acreage of land that is required for dedication. (c) The fair market acre value of land for purposes of determining the amount of a payment in lieu of land dedication shall be determined by mutual agreement between the applicant and the Town. In the event of inability of any of the above parties to agree on the fair market acre value of the subject land, an independent real estate appraisal shall be obtained by the Town at the applicant's cost. The value determined by the appraisal shall be binding upon the applicant and the Town. (d) Payments made under the requirements of this Section shall be made payable to the Town of Fraser.

Sec. 17-7-250. Substitute land dedication. As an alternative means of satisfying the required dedication of land within a subdivision as provided by this Division, an applicant may offer to the Town a substitute dedication of land of equivalent size owned by the applicant that is located outside of the proposed subdivision; provided, however, that nothing herein shall obligate the Town to accept such substitute dedication. The Town shall not accept any substitute dedication located more than three (3) miles from the Town boundary existing at the time of subdivision. Sec. 17-7-260. Applicant's option for site specific dedication study. In the event that the applicant disagrees with the Town's determination concerning dedication of land and/or payment in lieu of dedication of land as required by this Section, the applicant may request a continuation of any subdivision processing and review by the Town, and the applicant may prepare a study evaluating the demand for public facilities made necessary or generated by the proposed development. Such study shall be undertaken at the applicant's cost by a licensed professional engineer or other professional approved in advance by the Town. To the greatest extent possible, the study shall include an evaluation of the Town's present supply or capacity and present demand for all public facilities and/or services required by the proposed development. The study shall identify and quantify the additional demand placed upon such public facilities and/or services by the proposed development. The study shall incorporate the conclusions of reports, evaluations and other studies published by authoritative sources concerning the per capita and other ratio of schools and parks commonly found in other communities. The study shall identify the necessary public land and improvements required to be dedicated or constructed by the applicant in order to serve the demand generated by the proposed development. Such study shall be considered by the Town in determining the dedication of land required by this Division for the proposed development. (Ord. 322 § 12-6-6, 2006) Sec. --of requirements. The Town may waive the required dedication of land or the payment in lieu of dedication required by this Division in the following cases: (1) When the project has already been fully developed and the subdivision of land is 84 necessary to bring the land into conformance with the as-built or as-constructed development; or (2) When the development does not result in any increase in demand for schools and parks or open space. (Ord. 322 § 12-6-6, 2006) Division 4 Adoption of Standards Public Rights-of-Way 17-7-280. Adoption of Standards .

Other acceptable data sources may be used in cases where the Trip Generation Manual does not provide the information necessary. 3.3 STREET/ROAD CLASSIFICATIONS The Townstreets/roads are classified a Functional classifications shall be established by the Town in accordance with Table 3.3. The Applicant may be required to conduct traffic counts to establish or change existing street classifications. Arterial Streets/Roads 1. The arterial street/road system links towns and other large traffic generators with minimal interference to through traffic movements and higher design speeds. The typical cross-section for an arterial street / road is shown on Attachment A-6 Cross-Section for Arterial Street. Collector Streets/Roads 2. Collector streets/roads provide a link between arterial streets/roads and local streets. More moderate speeds are typical on collector streets/roads. The typical cross-section for a collector street/road is shown on Attachment A-7 Cross-Section for Collector Street. Local Streets 3. Local streets primarily provide access from collector and arterial streets/roads to adjacent neighborhoods and other developments. A local street is a street whose primary function is to provide access to residences, businesses or abutting property rather than to serve through traffic. The street shall be designed for a design speed of not less than 20 mph. Posted speed limits for local streets shall be 20 mph. The typical cross-section for a local street is shown on Attachment A-8 Cross-Section for Local Street. Private Streets 4. A private street has the same characteristics of a local street, in that its primary use is as an access to a limited number of single family residences or multi-family units. The street shall be designed for a design speed of not less than 20 mph. The typical cross-section for a private street is shown on Attachment A-9 Cross-Section for Private Street. Private Shared Drive 5. amily residences or multiple-family units. The number of units or combination of units is limited by a maximum ADT of 40. The typical cross-section for a private shared drive is shown on Attachment A-10 Cross-Section for Private Shared Drive. Alleys 6. Alleys provide for limited access and will be subject to special review as appropriate to the land use plan.

The ribbon curb shall be used along the edge of street when storm drainage is proposed in a ditch section located off the edge of shoulder. 4) The private street shoulder width of five feet (5') is measured from the flow line of the concrete valley pan to outside edge of shoulder to accommodate fire trucks. 3.4 HORIZONTAL ALIGNMENT 3.4.1 Centerline Curve Radius Horizontal design criteria are established by the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) publication, A Policy on Geometric Design of Highways and Streets. Criteria include centerline curve radius design, minimum tangent lengths and stopping sight distance. Compound curves and reverse curves are prohibited without prior approval of the Town. The minimum curve radius is ultimately determined by the stopping sight distance and sight triangle. The cross slope of all crowned streets shall be two percent (2%) from the centerline to the edge. In mountainous areas, all streets shall not be crowned, but shall slope toward the mountain, from the outside edge of pavement, for the full width. The outside shoulder shall slope away from the street edge. 3.4.2 Lane Widening Lane widening may be necessary on sharper curves and where large vehicle traffic is expected, and should be consistent with the design guidelines outlined inA Policy on Geometric Design of Highways and Streets. Turning templates may be required for streets and/or parking lot designs at the discretion of Fraser. 3.4.3 Dead-Ends and Turnarounds Dead-end streets are discouraged within Fraser. All dead-end streets require turnarounds or cul-de-sacs per Attachment A-12 Cul-De-Sac and Turnarounds for Streets. All turnarounds shall provide ten feet (10') of level, treeless ground around the perimeter. Special attention should be given to provide adequate functional snow storage and sight distance. All The maximum length of streets ending in turnarounds shall be five-hundred feet (500'). Additional turnarounds may be required for emergency services when topography dictates. 15 All turnarounds shall be subject to review and approval of the Town of Fraser. 3.4.4 Switchbacks A switchback is defined as a curve with a central angle of greater than one-hundred-twenty degrees (120°) and a radius less than or equal to one-hundred feet (100'). Switchbacks shall not be allowed on collector or arterial roadways. On all other streets and in mountainous terrain, when other alternatives may cause significant adverse impacts, the use of switchbacks may be allowed on a case-by-case basis, with approval from Fraser. Switchbacks shall be designed with a minimum centerline radius of sixty feet (60'). Maximum centerline grades within twenty-five feet (25') of a switchback curve and throughout the curve shall not exceed four percent (4%). Super elevation shall not exceed four percent (4%). Special attention should be given to provide adequate functional snow storage and sight distance. Widening of the streets/roadways around the curve may be necessary to allow for wide turning vehicles (i.e. fire trucks, snow plows, trash trucks, etc.). 3.5 CROSS SECTIONS 3.5.1 Surfacing Requirements All streets and roadways shall be paved with hot plant mix asphalt meeting locally available CDOT mix, as recommended by the Geotechnical Engineer, licensed by the State of Colorado, and approved in writing by the Town. Alternate hard surfacing materials may be permitted at the discretion of the Town. Pavement thickness shall be determined from a pavement design and specification based on a geotechnical report prepared for the project and anticipated vehicular loading by a Professional Engineer licensed by the State of Colorado. The CDOT Pavement Design Manual shall be used to determine vehicular loading and the pavement section of the street. The minimum pavement thickness shall be five inches (5"). Alleys in residential subdivisions shall be paved with surfacing requirements equal to the surfacing requirements for streets and roadways. 3.5.2 Crown/Superelevation The cross slope on all streets, including intersections, shall be two percent (2%). The maximum superelevation rate is two percent (2%) where the longitudinal grade of the street is less than five percent (5%). Where the centerline grade of the street is five percent (5%) or greater the superelevation can be increased to three percent (3%). Superelevation shall be required on all collector streets. Where superelevation is used, the minimum tangent lengths between curves shall be consistent with the design guidelines outlined in A Policy on Geometric Design of Highways and Streets. 3.5.3 Clear Zone The minimum clear zone required for vertical alignments, as proposed by the Engineer of Record and approved by Fraser. Embankment slopes steeper than 3:1 are considered critical slopes, on which a vehicle is likely to overturn. All newly constructed streets shall provide a minimum clear zone with a maximum 3:1 embankment slope. The clear zone includes any shoulders or auxiliary lanes. The clear zone width should be increased on the outside of curves to accommodate the path of an errant vehicle. Determination of the width of the clear zone should take into consideration right-of way availability, environmental concerns, economic factors, safety needs, and accident histories. The AASHTO Roadside Design Guide may be used to determine clear zone widths for arterials and collectors. For local streets a minimum clear 16 zone of ten feet (10') should be provided. If these minimum clear zone widths are not feasible, guardrail installation may be required. 3.5.4 Guardrail The use of guardrail is discouraged and should not be used when it is economically feasible to remove the obstruction, correct the hazardous condition, or where it is determined that the guardrail would create a more serious hazard than the feature it would shield. Refer to the CDOT Roadside Design Guide for details. The use of guardrail may be necessary if any of the following conditions exist: 1. 2. A street built to Fraser Standards contains an isolated sharp curve in conjunction with a side slope steeper than 3:1. 3. A section of street having a history of vehicular accidents. When guardrails are considered for installation, especially for extended lengths, special provisions shall be made for adequate snow storage and removal and blowing/drifting snow. 3.6 VERTICAL ALIGNMENT 3.6.1 Centerline Grades The maximum centerline grade for all streets and roads is seven percent (7%). The minimum centerline grade for all streets and roads is one percent (1%). A minimum flowline grade of one percent (1%) shall be maintained around all full and partial cul-de-sac bulbs. If curb and gutter is proposed, the minimum flowline grade may be one-half percent (0.5%). Continuous grade changes shall not be permitted. The use of grade breaks in lieu of vertical curves is discouraged; however, if a grade break is necessary and the algebraic difference in grade does not exceed one-half percent (0.5%) along the street, the grade break will be permitted. 3.6.2 Vertical Curves See A Policy on Geometric Design of Highways and Streets for the standard for rate of vertical curv The minimum length is controlled by those standards and by stopping sight distances. 3.6.3 Stopping Sight Distance See A Policy on Geometric Design of Highways and Streets for minimum stopping sight distance requirements. 3.7 INTERSECTIONS All connections to existing asphalt streets will require the asphalt to be sawcut full depth and be paved with a neat line match to the existing surface. 3.7.1 Skew Angles All new street or driveway connections shall intersect existing roads at ninety degrees (90). Where this is not possible, the skew angle shall not be less than seventy-five degrees (75) from the existing street. An oblique street should be curved approaching an intersection and should be approximately at right angles for at least one-hundred feet (100') there from. No more than two (2) streets shall intersect at any point. 3.7.2 Minimum Curb Radius Minimum curb radius at the intersection of two (2) local streets shall be twenty feet (20'). Minimum curb radius at an intersection involving an arterial and/or a collector street shall be at least twenty-five feet (25'), unless a larger radius is deemed necessary by Fraser for maintenance and emergency services. Abrupt horizontal changes in alignment within a block 17 are discouraged; but if necessary shall have the corners angled in accordance with standard engineering practice to permit safe vehicular movement. 3.7.3 Horizontal Offset All new street connections shall meet existing streets without an offset whenever possible. When a new development can access two different streets, access shall always be to the street with the lowest classification. When a street parallel to a railroad right-of-way intersects a street which crosses an at-grade railroad right-of-way, it shall, to the extent practicable, be at a distance of at least one hundred fifty feet (150') from the railroad right-of-way. Such distance shall be determined with due consideration of the minimum distance required for future separation of grades by means of appropriate approach gradients. 3.7.4 Grades All intersections shall utilize vertical curves. The minimum design speed for all vertical curves at intersections shall be 15 mph. Intersections shall be designed with a minimal grade whenever practical. In hilly or rolling areas, at the approach to an intersection, a leveling area shall be provided having not greater than a four percent (4%) slope for a distance of sixty feet (60'), measured from the edge of pavement or back of curb and gutter. The four percent (4%) only applies when intersecting streets are either: local streets, private streets and/or shared private drives. That maximum allowable slope is the greater of the slope measured at the centerline or edge of pavement on the approaching minor street. On all streets approaching arterials or collector streets, the maximum grade shall be two percent (2%) for the distance of sixty feet (60') measured from the edge of pavement or back of curb and gutter. 3.7.5 Corner Sight Distance The corner sight distance is measured from a point on the local street at fifteen feet (15') back from the edge of the collector street pavement flowline and measured from a height of eye at three and one-half feet (3.50') on the local street to a height of object at four and one-quarter feet (4.25') on the collector street. The distance shall be ten feet (10') for local-local street intersection measured from the pavement flow line. The minimum corner sight distance is defined in Table 3.7.5. Using the plan and profile of the intersection the Engineer of Record shall verify these minimum sight distances can be attained. TABLE 3.7.5 MINIMUM CORNER SIGHT DISTANCE DESIGN SPEED CORNER SIGHT DISTANCE (MPH)(FEET) 20 225 30 335 Sight distance shown is for a stopped passenger car to turn left onto a two-lane street with no median and grades of three percent (3%) or less. For other conditions, the time gap must be adjusted and required sight distance recalculated. Truck traffic entering onto streets requires longer sight distances. Any proposed public or private street or driveway regularly used by truck traffic may require an individual analysis. When the criteria for sight distance cannot be met, Fraser may deny the access, prohibit right or left turns by vehicles entering the street, or require speed change lanes. 18 3.8 PEDESTRIAN FACILITIES Sidewalks and trails shall be included with the project design and construction plan set. The type, width and surface of the trail required depend upon the topography and general layout of the subdivision. See Attachment A-13 Sidewalk and Trail and Attachment A-14 Handicap Ramps. 3.8.1 Trail separation. Separation between public right-of-way and trails is encouraged unless topography or other physical constraints necessitate a trail adjacent to a public right-of-way. The minimum distance between public right-of-way and trails shall be ten (10') feet horizontally. Grade differential or differing surfaces shall be provided between trails and public rights-of-way to discourage crossover by vehicles, pedestrians and bicycles. 3.8.1 Trail width. Detached, paved, eight-foot-wide trails shall be provided adjacent to arterial and collector streets. 3.8.2 Trail construction. The type of construction for trails shall be compatible with the anticipated use. All trails shall be constructed to provide stable sub-grades suitable for support of heavy equipment and pavement. 3.8.3 Trail signage and markings. Way-finding and directional signs may be required at the discretion of the Town. Warning signs, stop signs and pavement markings shall be required at all intersections and street crossings. 3.8.4 Easements. Trails may overlap with other easements, provided that any overlapping easement does not compromise the functional use of any other easement. 3.8.5 Sidewalk width and location. Sidewalks shall be a minimum of eight feet (8') wide on each side of the street and shall be required in the Business Zone District and in all Mixed Use, Accommodation, Lodging and Commercial zoned planning areas in all Planned Development Districts (PDDs). Sidewalks in residential areas shall be required on at least one (1) side of the street if trails are not provided and shall be a minimum of five feet (5') wide. The typical sidewalk and trail is shown on Attachment A-13 Sidewalk and Trails. 3.8.6 ADA requirements. All trails and sidewalks shall be ramped at intersections and other pedestrian crossings and constructed in accordance with handicapped accessibility standards of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). The typical handicap ramp is shown on Attachment A-14 Handicap Ramp. 3.8.7 Drainage. Adequate drainage measures shall be provided along and across trails and sidewalks to prevent erosion damage and to allow free passage of drainage flows. Surface drainage shall not sheet flow across a trail or sidewalk. Drainage shall cross a trail or sidewalk at specified locations. 3.9 SIGNAGE AND STRIPING All signs, striping, markers, delineators, signals and other traffic control devices must conform to the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) and the Colorado Supplement to the MUTCD. Pavement striping material and application shall be in accordance with the CDOT Standard Specifications for Street and Roadways Construction for epoxy paint materials and installation per Section 627.05 Epoxy Pavement Marking and for thermoplastic pavement markings per Section 627.06 Thermoplastic Pavement Marking. The area to be covered by the thermoplastic pavement marking shall be ground down one-eighth of an inch (1/8") so that the top of the thermoplastic pavement marking is flush with the street surface. 19 Thermoplastic pavement markings shall be used for cross-walk lines, stop bars, turn lane lines at intersections, turn arrows, and school zone markings. Epoxy pavement marking shall be used for centerline striping, no passing zone lines and edge lines along streets. All required street identification signage shall be approved by Fraser. Speed limit signs, stop signs, no parking signs, emergency turn around signs, striping and other traffic control devices shall meet current Town installation standards and shall be installed by and paid for by the Applicant.

CHAPTER 4 - WATER SYSTEM DESIGN 4.1 GENERAL Fraser operates and maintains the municipal water system. The system consists of five pressure zones, water supply wells and transmission lines, booster pump stations, water treatment facilities and distribution lines, pressure reducing valves and water storage tanks. The five pressure zones and their respective service areas are defined as: Blue Pressure Zone Elevations 8600 to 8680 Yellow Pressure Zone Elevations 8680 to 8860 Green Pressure Zone Elevations 8860 to 9080 Red Pressure Zone Elevations 9080 to 9300 Purple Pressure Zone Elevations 9300 to 9460 Maps of existing service areas can be viewed at the Fraser Town Hall. Three water storage tanks and a series of pumps provide the water pressure to operate the system. The existing Blue Zone tank is a 1.0 million gallon underground concrete tank (ninety-six foot [96'] inside diameter and twenty foot [20'] sidewall height). The over flow of the Blue Zone tank is at elevation 8795.0 (NGVD 29 Datum). The Yellow Zone tank currently serves portions of development on East Mountain and West Mountain (US Highway 40 being the division line). An additional Yellow Zone tank is proposed for West Mountain as development continues. The existing Yellow Zone tank is a 300,000 gallon underground, post- 23 tensioned concrete tank (forty-eight foot [48] inside diameter and twenty-four foot [24'] sidewall height). The over flow of the Yellow Zone tank is at elevation 8964.2 (NGVD 29 Datum). The Green Zone tank currently serves a portion of development on East Mountain. An additional Green Zone tank is proposed for West Mountain as development continues. The existing Green Zone tank is a 500,000 gallon underground prestressed concrete tank (sixty-five foot [65'] inside diameter and twenty- one foot [21'] sidewall height). The over flow of the Green Zone tank is at elevation 9174.0 (NGVD 29 Datum). The Red Pressure Zone on East Mountain is served by water booster pumps at the Green Zone tank site. A future Red Zone tank is proposed for West Mountain at some future point required by development. The Purple Pressure Zone is proposed for West Mountain at some future point required by development. It will serve an area proposed for development by booster pumps from the West Mountain Red Zone tank. The Blue Zone System is connected to the Yellow Zone and Green Zone Systems through a pressure reducing valve (PRV) located in Old Victory Road. The Yellow and Green Zone Systems are connected by booster pumps and two PRVs to control the pressure and flow within their respective zones. In the event of a fire within a lower pressure zone, water stored in the upper pressure zone water storage tanks is available to meet fire flow requirements. 4.2 BASIC DESIGN POLICIES All new water system designs and related information shall meet the requirements of the Town of Fraser Minimum Design Criteria and Construction Standards, and the requirements and approval of the State of Colorado, Design Criteria for Potable Water Systems. Any design standards not included within these Standards shall be subject to the minimum standards set forth by the American Water Works Association or in other current publications found in Chapter 14 - Publications, References and Design Aids. In all cases the more stringent standards and design criteria shall be applicable. 4.3 WATER SYSTEM HYDRAULIC MODEL The Town has prepared a Water System Hydraulic Model. The hydraulic model was prepared using the layout and detail of the existing Fraser municipal water system components, flow rates and water pressures at various fire hydrant locations. The hydraulic model is utilized to forecast flow rates and water pressures for system extensions to determine if the proposed development improvements meet minimum current requirements of the National Fire Code standards. 4.4 REQUIRED EASEMENTS Where the municipal water system is to be located out of the public right-of-way, the Applicant shall be responsible for obtaining easements required for the construction, maintenance, and operation of the facilities. The legal description for the easements shall be prepared by a Registered Land Surveyor in the State of Colorado. Easements shall be in a form acceptable to the Town and shall be shown on the design and as-built drawings. Fraser will not approve the design documents until all required easements have been deeded to Fraser. The minimum width of easements for a single pipeline shall be thirty feet (30'). Temporary construction easements shall have a minimum width of forty feet (40'). An easement containing both a water line and a sewer line shall be no less than thirty-six feet (36'). Wider easements shall be required for deep 24 sections of pipeline, multiple lines, steep terrain, or where otherwise required by Fraser. Deep sections of pipeline is defined as the water line depth of cover exceeding nine feet (9') and/or the sanitary sewer line depth of cover exceeding seven feet (7'). Easement widths for deep lines are determined using Attachment A-5 Utility Easement Widths. For any service line curb stop located outside of a public right-of-way or utility easement, a rectangular shaped utility easement shall be provided. The rectangular easement shall extend two feet (2') on each side of the service line from the boundary of the right-of-way or utility easement to four feet (4') behind the curb stop.

Each hatch shall be installed at a height of eighteen inches (18") above finish grade to prevent soil and debris from falling into the tank from the surrounding area. The tank shall have a separate inlet and outlet piping located at opposite sides of the tank floor to promote water circulation when filling and withdrawing water from the tank. Connection to the water distribution system will utilize check and gate valves to control the inlet and outlet flows from a valve structure adjacent to the tank. Tank vents and screens shall be located sufficiently above finish grade to prevent them from being covered by drifting snow. A floor drain will be located at the center of the tank to drain the tank if necessary. The 25 drain pipe will be operated with a gate valve and the drain line will release water to an external above ground location. An internal tank overflow will be installed to the same drain line to prevent overfilling the tank. Electrical services and conduit shall be installed at each roof access point necessary to connect services from one tank hatch to the other and shall be buried in a straight line between the hatches and at a depth as required by the NEC. 4.5.5 PRESSURE REDUCING VALVE (PRV) VAULTS Pressure reducing valves (PRVs) are required to interconnect the pressure zones within the Fraser municipal water system at locations required by topography to adequately service development within the Town of Fraser.

Maximum daily demand rate plus fire flow demand (as determined by ISO guidelines) with delivery pressures of not less than 20 psi at the hydrant. The normal minimum size water distribution main shall be eight inch (8"). The Engineer of Record should review the output detail of the Water Hydraulic Model to determine if oversizing of any lines are required for transmission purposes. Dead-end lines are discouraged and will only be allowed with prior approval of Fraser. Any dead end line approved shall have a fire hydrant assembly installed at the end of the line. Water main sizing, layout and con Engineer during the review process. The systems shall be designed to maximize interconnections, creating loops within the system and streng Where certain lines may also serve a transmission function, in the opinion of Fraser, Fraser 26 may direct that such lines be oversized, and the Applicant's Engineer shall so design the system. In this case, Fraser will pay the incremental oversize costs. State Regulations require a ten foot (10') minimum horizontal separation measured from outside of pipe to outside of pipe between the potable water line and any line carrying water of lesser water quality than potable water (i.e.: sanitary sewer, raw water, storm sewer, irrigation water, etc.). When located in public streets, potable water pipelines shall be located approximately eleven feet (11') north or east of, and parallel to, the roadway centerline. Curved water line alignments shall be avoided. Whenever a crossing must occur where a non-potable line passes within ten feet (10') horizontally of a water main, and where the water main is not at least eighteen inches (18") vertically clear above the non-potable line, special construction will be required in accordance with Attachment A-23 Pipe Crossing Detail, and Attachment A-24 - Pipe Encasement Detail. The distance shall be measured horizontally outside edge to outside edge of pipe. A ten foot (10') centerline to centerline separation shall be maintained between the waterline and all dry utilities and between the sanitary sewer and all dry utilities, unless otherwise approved by the Town. Dry utility cabinets, risers, pedestals or other appurtances shall not be located within this ten foot (10') separation distance or within the right-of-way or within a ten foot (10') radius of any fire hydrant, unless otherwise approved by the Town.

The minimum cover shall be nine feet (9') from top of water line to finished grade. Pipelines shall not be placed deeper than ten feet (10') without prior approval by Fraser. A minimum of seven feet (7') of cover will be allowed if at least two inches (2") of an approved pipeline insulation is provided for each vertical foot of cover less than nine feet (9'), per Attachment A-18 Water Main and Service Line Bedding and Backfill Detail. If insulation is installed, use approximately six inches (6") of a fine grained material (i.e. Class 6/road base, sand or squeegee/pea gravel) for the pipe zone materials above and beneath the insulation to protect it from breakage during backfill. Prior to placement of the insulation, level and compact the trench bedding material to provide a flat, smooth surface for the insulation. Carefully place bedding material over the insulation so as to not puncture or damage the insulation. If the bottom of the excavation is soft or unstable, and in the opinion of the Town, is not a satisfactory support for the pipeline, further depth and/or width shall be excavated, refilled and compacted to six inches (6") below the pipe outside diameter (excluding bells) with Trench Stabilization Material, as specified Trenching, All pipeline fittings (i.e., bends, tees, plugs, and caps) shall be installed with concrete thrust blocks adequately designed for the specific application. Thrust blocks shall be cast-in-place from concrete having a minimum compressive strength of 3,000 psi and bear against undisturbed earth on the trench wall.

The electrical conductivity testing shall be contracted by Fraser and back charged to the Applicant for any and all costs incurred. Results of the conductivity test shall be submitted in written format to Fraser upon completion telephone number; testing technicians name; date(s) of test; and results of the conductivity 32 test for each section of tracer wire between test stations. The report shall be signed by the technician performing the conductivity test. All fire hydrant assemblies and distribution system gate valves shall be fully operated in the presence of the Town to ensure they are fully operable. A leak detection test shall be performed on the waterlines during the last quarter of the warranty period and a written record of the test results provided to Fraser. If the leak detection test cannot be performed due to inclement weather and/or site conditions it will be delayed until a future date when the weather or site conditions allow for a safe working environment to perform the test, as determined by the Town. The leak detection testing work shall be contracted by Fraser and back charged to the Applicant for any and all costs incurred. 4.6.7 Disinfection All water piping shall be disinfected in accordance with AWWA C651 after all construction work has been completed. Chlorine shall be added to the water at the necessary locations in the amount to form fifty (50) ppm free chlorine residual. The chlorine solution shall be left in the pipelines for not less than twenty-four (24) hours, during which time all valves and fire hydrants shall be operated in order to disinfect the appurtenances. After that length of time, the chlorine residual of the solution, at any place within the system, shall not be less than ten (10) ppm. All chlorination work must be done in the presence of the Town. At the end of twenty-four (24) hours, a bacteriological test is to be performed by a Colorado certified laboratory acceptable to the Town to insure adequate disinfection. A third party independent contractor, acceptable to the Town, will take the required samples and deliver them to the samples and deliver the samples to a certified laboratory for testing. All costs associated with the sampling and testing shall be at the cost of the Applicant. Following completion of the disinfection (chlorination) work the Applicant is responsible to dechlorinate and properly dispose of the test water in strict compliance with all local, state and federal laws, rules and regulations. Prior to disposal, provisions must be made by the Applicant to assure that no chlorinated water is discharged to the ground. Acceptance or acknowledgement of the proposed method of disposal of the test water by the Town does not relieve the Applicant from any and all responsibility, liability and/or damages caused by the release. CHAPTER 5 -SANITARY SEWER SYSTEM DESIGN 5.1 GENERAL Fraser operates and maintains the municipal sanitary sewer collection system. The collection system as designed is intended to provide gravity service only. Before the start of design, the Applicant shall contact the Town of Fraser to confirm the appropriate connection point with the existing collection system. Sewage lift stations and force mains will not be permitted unless special conditions merit consideration for approval otherwise. The system design is based on a wastewater flow rate of one-hundred (100) gallons per capita per day and an average household of 2.75 people per household for a total flow rate of two-hundred-seventy-five (275) gallons per day. Historical peak flow rates are identified as two and one-half (2.5) times the average flow rate. The standards defined herein require the peak build-out flow rate to be carried within the pipe flowing not greater than half full. 33 Non-residential user flow rates shall be determined and calculated as described above. These flow rates shall be reviewed and approved by Fraser prior to design of proposed improvements to connect to 5.2 BASIC DESIGN POLICIES All new sanitary sewer collection system designs and related information shall meet, at a minimum, the Town of Fraser Minimum Design Criteria and Construction Standards. Any design standards not included within these Standards will be subject to the minimum standards set forth in other current publications found in Chapter 14 Publications, References and Design Aids. 5.3 REQUIRED EASEMENTS Where the municipal sanitary sewer system is to be located out of the public right-of-way, the Applicant shall be responsible for obtaining easements required for the construction, maintenance, and operation of the facilities. The legal description for the easements shall be prepared by a Registered Land Surveyor in the State of Colorado. Easements shall be in a form acceptable to Fraser and shall be shown on the design and as-built drawings. Fraser will not approve the design documents until all required easements have been deeded to Fraser, unless an alternate schedule is approved by Fraser. The minimum width of easements for a single pipeline shall be thirty feet (30'). Temporary construction easements shall have a minimum width of forty feet (40'). An easement containing both a water line and a sewer line shall be no less than thirty-six feet (36'). Wider easements shall be required for deep sections of pipeline, multiple lines, steep terrain, or where otherwise required by Fraser. Deep sections of pipeline is defined as the water line depth of cover exceeding nine feet (9') and/or the sanitary sewer line depth of cover exceeding seven feet (7'). Easement widths for deep lines are determined using Attachment A-5 Utility Easement Widths. SANITARY SEWER COLLECTION SYSTEM 5.4 5.4.1 Design, Layout and Sizing Collection sewers shall be designed to carry not less than the projected peak flow rates flowing one-half full (safety factor = 2.0), unless otherwise approved by Fraser. The minimum size sewer collection line shall be eight inches (8") diameter. Sewers shall be so designed and constructed to give mean velocities, when flowing full, of not less than two feet per second (2 fps). Pipe slopes shall not exceed twelve percent (12%) grade. Sewers shall generally be designed with sufficient depth to serve basements by gravity. The minimum cover shall be seven feet (7') from top of sewer to finished grade. Sanitary sewers with less than seven feet (7') of cover will be considered by the Town with installation of two inches (2") of pipeline insulation installed for every one foot (1') of cover less than seven feet (7'). The minimum cover for sanitary sewer lines installed with insulation is five feet (5') from top of sewer to finish grade. See Attachment A-38 Sewer Main and Service Line Bedding & Backfill Detail for details. Sewer main sizing, layout and connections shall be coordinated with the Town during the review process. Where certain lines may also serve a truck line function, in the opinion of Fraser, Fraser may direct that such lines be oversized, and the Applicant's Engineer shall so design the system. In this case, Fraser will pay the incremental oversize costs. State regulations require that sewer and water lines shall have ten feet (10') minimum of horizontal separation from outside of pipe to outside of pipe. Where this separation is impractical, Fraser may permit other separation requirements, in accordance with applicable standards and regulations. If a water line passes within eighteen inches (18") vertical distance above a sewer main or service, or if it lies within the minimum horizontal separation of the 34 sewer, the sewer is to be encased per Attachment A-24 Pipe Encasement Detail or Attachment A-23 Pipe Crossing Detail. If a water line crosses under a sewer main or service line, a twenty foot (20') length of PVC C-900 or C- 905 (as appropriate) shall be used for the gravity sewer line, Smith-Blair 229, Full Circle Collar Leak Repair Clamps shall be installed on all sanitary sewer joints within the minimum horizontal clearance requirements and a twenty foot (20') length of ductile iron pipe shall be installed on the water line, centered over the centerline of the sanitary sewer. A ten foot (10') centerline to centerline separation shall be maintained between the sanitary sewer line and all dry utilities and between the waterline and all dry utilities, unless otherwise approved by the Town. Dry utility cabinets, risers, pedestals or other appurtances shall not be located within this ten foot (10') separation distance or within the right-or-way or within a ten foot (10') radius of any fire hydrant, unless otherwise approved by the Town. The Applicant is referred to all other utility providers to determine their respective minimum separation criteria and requirements from the Town the more stringent requirements. Where required for structural reasons or to protect potable water pipelines, the sewer shall be encased in reinforced concrete having design characteristics not less than those shown on the Attachment A-24 Pipe Encasement Detail. Manholes shall be located at a maximum spacing of four-hundred feet (400') center-to-center and also at changes in sewer pipeline alignment and/or grade and at the end of each line. Sewers shall be laid with uniform slope between manholes. Drop manholes are to be provided for any pipeline whose invert entering the manhole is greater than eighteen inches (18") above the invert out. Where different size pipes enter a manhole, the smaller pipe flowline shall be higher such that the top of the two pipes is at the same elevation. Any variation to this layout shall require a variance. See Chapter 15 - Variance Review Procedure. Manhole steps shall be spaced uniformly from the top step to the bottom step for maximum operator safety when entering and exiting the manhole. Additionally the top step and bottom step shall be installed within the tolerances defined herein.

The plug and its installation method shall be acceptable to the Town. The plug shall remain in place until the project is complete and final acceptance is granted by Fraser or Fraser authorizes its removal. Fraser will notify the Applicant in writing at such time the plug can be removed. The contractor shall be responsible to thoroughly clean and pump the water and debris from the line prior to removing the plug. Water and debris from cleaning the line shall be properly disposed of by the contractor in a manner acceptable to the Town. The sanitary sewer pipe shall extend through the manhole wall and shall be flush or slightly inside the interior manhole wall surface on each side (mid-point of the pipe). The sewer system shall be installed in a thorough, workmanlike manner in accordance with the Design Documents that have been approved by the Town. The minimum bedding and backfill requirements shall be as shown on Attachment A-38 Sewer Main and Service Line Bedding & Backfill Detail. The minimum cover shall be seven feet (7') from top of sewer line to finished grade. Pipelines shall not be placed deeper than ten feet (10') without prior approval by the Town. A minimum of five feet (5') of cover will be allowed if approved pipeline insulation is provided, in accordance with Attachment A-38 Sewer Main and Service Line Bedding & Backfill Detail. If insulation is installed, use approximately six inches (6") of a fine grained material (i.e. Class 6/road base, sand or squeegee/pea gravel) for the pipe zone materials above and beneath the insulation to protect it from breakage during backfill. 38 If the bottom of the excavation is soft or unstable, and in the opinion of the Town, is not a satisfactory support for the pipeline, further depth and/or width shall be excavated and refilled to six inches (6") below the pipe outside diameter (excluding bells) with Trench Stabilization Material, as specified in Chapter 11 - Trenching, Bedding and Backfill. Each pipe length and fitting interior, interior surface of bells, and exterior surface of spigots shall be cleaned of all foreign material before placing it in the trench and shall be kept clean all times thereafter. Each item must also be examined for cracks and other defects before installation. Pipe shall be cut, only whenever necessary, to conform to location of manholes or connections. All cuts shall be straight, true, and at right angles to the axis of the pipe unless otherwise noted or directed by the Town Engineer. The cutting process shall leave a smooth end without damaging the pipe. All burrs shall be removed from the ends of cut pipe, and the end chamfered and lightly rasped or filed. All tools used in cutting pipe shall be subject to the Town and gaskets must be followed. Pipe laying shall proceed upgrade with the spigot ends of pipe pointing in the direction of the flow, unless otherwise approved by the Town Engineer. Each pipe length shall be laid true to line and grade in such manner as to form a close concentric joint with the adjoining pipe and to prevent sudden offsets to the flow line. Pipe shall be laid in an unwatered trench and shall not be used for draining water from the trench. Pipes are to be kept clean by capping or plugging ends with a mechanical plug approved by the Town. Full sections of pipe shall be installed whenever possible. Cut sections of pipe shall only be used as required to connect to wye branches or manholes at designated stations. Use of multiple cut sections of pipe between a manhole and a wye branch, a wye branch and another wye branch, a wye branch and a manhole or two manholes is unacceptable and will be rejected. 5.4.4 Manhole Installation Manholes shall be constructed to conform to the detail shown in the Standard Details and shall be set plumb. The invert channels shall be smooth and semi-circular in shape, conforming to the inside of the incoming and outgoing sewer pipelines. Changes in direction of flow shall be made with a smooth curve with as large a radius as the size of the manhole will permit. Changes in size and grade of the channels shall be made gradually and evenly. Where differences in invert elevations exist, sloped flow channels shall be formed so the sewage does not undergo a vertical drop. The floor of the manhole outside of the channel shall be smooth and shall slope toward the channels not less than one inch (1") per foot and no more than two inches (2") per foot. The top circumference of the base shall be finished level and smooth to permit obtaining a watertight joint. The manhole covers shall be set with their tops at the grades set forth in the Standard Details. Manholes located within the street shall be raised to final grade with either asphalt surfacing installed adjacent to the manhole or with a concrete collar. If the manhole is set at final grade during the asphalt paving process the following procedure shall be followed: 1. Installation of the bottom lift of asphalt shall be placed over the top of the manhole. 2. The manhole shall be exposed and set to its final grade at one-half (0.5") inches lower than the grade of the final street surface. Any void created in the bottom lift of asphalt 39 by exposing and raising the manhole shall be filled with compacted hot mix asphalt prior to placement of the top lift of asphalt. Paving rings shall not be used. 3. Installation of the top lift of asphalt shall be placed and compacted maintaining the required vertical distance from the street surface to the top of the manhole. The manhole ring and cover shall remain vertical and centered over the cone section. If a concrete collar is the selected method used to raise the manhole to final grade it shall be installed after the top lift of asphalt is placed and in accordance with either Attachment A-29 Structure/Manhole Concrete Collar Detail or Attachment A-30 Optional Manhole/Structure Adjustment Detail. Manhole tops without bolted, gasketed covers shall not be set at or below surrounding grade, except in paved roadways. The site shall be graded so that drainage is away from the manhole. Each joint of the precast manhole barrel shall have at least one continuous gasket placed on the lower ledge before the barrel immediately above is lowered into place. Joints between the precast manhole barrel sections and the cast in place manhole bases shall use two continuous gaskets and shall be wrapped externally using the external joint sealing material. In both cases, the surface of the precast barrels and/or the cast in place bases shall be smooth, clean, coated with a bituminous or epoxy coating and sound. The joint surfaces shall be cleaned to remove any concrete projections or dirt which may prevent a water-tight seal from being established. The joints shall be prepared and the gaskets shall be placed in External Joint Sealing Wrap is to be applied to clean dry epoxy coated concrete surfaces. The wrap shall be placed with the manhole joint centered within the membrane strip and overlapped a minimum distance of eighteen inches (18") when wrapped around the manhole. The wrap shall be applied immediately prior to backfilling, so when backfill is compacted the earth pressure forces bituminous wrap into concrete surfaces. Temperature of manhole sections and of backfill materials must be above forty degrees (40) Fahrenheit from time of applying wrap to time of backfilling. New sanitary sewer lines entering an existing manhole shall only be connected if an existing sewer line stub-out is present or by core drilling a hole in the existing manhole wall suitable for installation of a flexible watertight boot. 5.4.5 Underdrains Underdrains laid in the same trench as a sanitary sewer line are not permitted. 5.5 FLUSHING AND LEAK TESTING 5.5.1 Sanitary Sewer Line Flushing and Leak Testing The following testing procedures are intended to determine if the sanitary sewer line meets the Fraser's minimum quality standards. Alternative procedures meeting or exceeding the intent of these procedures, as determined by the Town's Engineer, may be acceptable. In any case, however, proposed alternative testing procedures shall be included in the design plans and specifications submitted to the Town for review and approval. Fraser shall be notified no less than forty-eight (48) hours prior to the desired test time. The Town shall witness all tests and verify the accuracy and acceptability of the equipment utilized. The Town will review the test procedures for any section that fails to pass any test and review the method proposed by the Applicant to repair the failed section. The Town shall approve all repair methods. Following the repair the section shall be retested. 40 Pipeline Flushing: The pipelines shall be flushed as the work progresses by means that are in accordance with good practice, to insure that earth, sand, rocks or other foreign materials are removed from the interior of the pipeline. All debris flushed at the lower end of the new Alignment and Grade: Sewer pipelines will be checked by the Town to determine whether any displacement of the pipe has occurred after the trench has been bedded. The test will be as follows: A light will be flashed between manholes, or if the manholes have not as yet been constructed, between the locations of the manholes, by means of a flashlight or by reflecting sunlight with a mirror. If the illuminated interior of the pipelines shows poor alignment, displaced pipe, earth, or other debris in the pipe, or any other kinds of defects, the defects, as determined by the Town, shall be remedied by the contractor. The test will be repeated following completion of backfilling and any poor alignment, displaced pipe, or other defects, determined by the Town, shall be corrected at no cost to Fraser. Leakage Testing by Exfiltration: Tests for water tightness shall be made by the contractor in the presence of the Town. The contractor shall provide assistance to the Town in development of a detailed record of the testing program. The sewer line and connections shall not leak in excess of the following rate for a 24-hour test period: MAXIMUM ALLOWABLE SEWER LINE LEAKAGE Pipe Size Leakage Inches Gal/Foot/24 Hours 18 0.68 15 0.57 12 0.45 10 0.38 8 0.30 6 0.23 Each reach of pipeline between manholes shall be tested individually. Any individual reach that leaks in excess of the amount allowed in the previous paragraph shall be considered as failing, and shall be repaired and retested. At the discretion of the Town, the time for leakage rate test may be shortened to four (4) hours. The tests and measurement of infiltration or exfiltration shall be conducted in a manner as approved by the Town. The minimum head for the exfiltration tests shall be two feet (2') above the top of the pipe at its highest point in the test section. Sections shall be bulk-headed so that during any test the head on the sewer at its lowest elevation will not be more than ten feet (10'). This restriction does not apply to ductile-iron pipe or C-900/C-905 PVC pipe. The contractor shall repair the sewer in a manner that is satisfactory to the Town and re-test until satisfactory tightness is obtained. Leakage Testing by Infiltration: Infiltration tests will be used if the groundwater table is likely to be one foot (1') or more above the invert of the finished sewer. Otherwise, exfiltration tests will be used. The allowable leakage rates are as tabulated for Section 5.5.1 Leakage Testing by Exfiltration. 41 Low-Pressure Air Test: At the option of the contractor, low-pressure air testing of the installed sewer pipe in accordance with ASTM F1417 procedure may be used instead of the leakage exfiltration test. The following criteria and procedure shall be utilized, unless otherwise approved by Fraser. Plug Restraint 1. . It is extremely important and essential that all plugs be installed and braced in such a way that blowouts are prevented. It is recommended that every plug be positively braced and that no one be allowed in the manhole adjoining a line being tested so long as pressure is maintained in the line. Relief Valve 2. . All pressurizing equipment used for low-pressure air testing shall include a regulator or relief valve set no higher than nine (9) psig to avoid over-pressurizing and displacing temporary or permanent plugs. As an added safety precaution, the pressure in the test section should be continuously monitored to make certain that it does not at any time exceed nine (9) psig. Plug Design 3. . Either mechanical or pneumatic plugs may be used. All plugs shall be designed to resist internal testing pressures without the aid of external bracing or blocking. However, the contractor should internally restrain or externally brace the plugs to the manhole wall as an added safety precaution throughout the test. Singular Control Panel 4. . To facilitate test verification by the Town, all air used shall pass through a single, above ground control panel. Equipment Controls 5. . The above ground air control equipment shall include a shut-off valve, pressure regulating valve, pressure relief valve, input pressure gauge, and a continuous monitoring pressure gauge having a pressure range from zero (0) to at least ten (10) psi. The continuous monitoring gauge shall be no less than four inches (4") in diameter with minimum divisions of one-tenth (0.10) psi and an accuracy of plus or minus four-hundredths (+ 0.04) psi. Separate Hoses 6. . Two separate hoses shall be used to: (1) connect the control panel to the sealed line for introducing low-pressure air, and (2) a separate hose connection for constant monitoring of air pressure build-up in the line. This requirement greatly diminishes any chance for over-pressurizing the line. Pneumatic Plugs 7. . If pneumatic plugs are utilized, a separate hose shall also be required to inflate the pneumatic plugs from the above ground control panel. Laterals, Stubs, and Fittings 8. . During sewer construction all service laterals, stubs, and fittings into the sewer test section shall be properly capped or plugged so as not to allow air loss that could cause an erroneous air test result. It may be necessary and is always advisable to restrain gasketed caps, plugs, or short pipe lengths with bracing stakes, clamps and tie rods, or wire harnesses over the pipe bells. Plug Installation and Testing 9. . After manholes have been tested for alignment and grade, and a manhole-to-manhole reach of pipe has been backfilled to final grade and prepared for testing, the plugs shall be placed in the line at both manholes and secured. It is advisable to seal test all plugs before use. Seal testing may be accomplished by laying one length of pipe on the ground and sealing it at both ends with the plugs to be checked. The sealed pipe should be pressurized to nine (9) psig. The plugs shall hold against this pressure without bracing and without any movement of the plugs out of the pipe. No persons shall be allowed in the alignment of the pipe during plug testing. The upstream end of the line shall be plugged first to prevent any upstream water from collecting in the test line. Line Pressurization 10. . Low pressure air shall be slowly introduced into the sealed line until the internal air pressure reaches four (4.0) psig. Pressure Stabilization 11. . After a constant pressure of four (4.0) psig is reached, the air supply shall be throttled to maintain that internal pressure for at least two (2) minutes. 42 This time permits the temperature of the entering air to equalize with the temperature of the pipe wall. Timing Pressure Loss 12. . When temperatures have been equalized and the pressure stabilized at four (4.0) psig, the air hose from the control panel to the air supply shall be shut off or disconnected. The continuous monitoring pressure gauge shall then be observed while the pressure is decreased to no less than three and one-half (3.5) psig. The timing pressure loss test shall then commence at a pressure reading of three and one-half (3.5) psig, or any convenient observed pressure reading between three and one-half (3.5) psig and four (4.0) psig. (Except as adjusted for groundwater as follows.) Air Pressure Adjustment 13. . An air pressure correction, which must be added to the three and one-half (3.5) psig normal test starting pressure, shall be calculated by dividing the average vertical height, in feet of groundwater above the invert of the sewer pipe to be tested, by 2.31. The result gives the air pressure correction in pounds per square inch to be added. (For example, if the average vertical height of groundwater above the pipe invert is two and eight-tenths feet (2.8'), the additional air pressure above the pipe invert is two and eight-tenths feet (2.8') divided by 2.31 or one and two-tenths (1.2) psig. This would require a minimum starting pressure of three and one-half (3.5) plus one and two-tenths (1.2) or four and seven-tenths (4.7) psig). The allowable pressure drop of one (1.0) psig and the timing in Table 1 are not affected and shall remain the same. In no case however should the starting test pressure exceed nine (9.0) psig. 14. If the time shown in Table 1 for the designated pipe size and length, elapses before the air pressure drops one-half (0.5) psig, the section undergoing test shall have passed. If the pressure drop occurs before the time shown in Table 1 elapses the test shall continue to determine if the line maintains a pressure drop of one (1.0) psig or less within the time noted in Table 2. If time shown in Table 2 for the designated pipe size and length, elapses before the air pressure drops one (1.0) psig, the section undergoing that test shall have passed.

Method of testing shall be by deflectometer of the rigid Go/No-Go type device. Alternative methods may be permitted only as approved by the Town. Maximum allowable deflection shall be five percent (5%) of the pipe diameter. Any and all pipe with vertical deflection greater than the allowable shall be excavated, removed from the pipeline, replaced, backfilled and compacted as specified and retested. Fraser reserves the right to require the Applicant to retest sewer lines after ten (10) months and up to twelve (12) months of service, if the Town has concerns regarding the condition of certain sections of pipe. Sections selected for retesting will be based on the results of the initial tests, the outcome of the television inspection (per Visual Inspection Test and Visual Inspection Testr, or other technical factors. The Applicant shall be responsible for the costs associated with such retesting. 44 Fraser may elect to waive the requirement for deflection testing for any or all of the lines if, in their opinion, the internal television inspection shows no construction irregularities and/or potential areas of concern. 5.5.2 Manhole Testing During the construction of the manholes, the contractor shall, in accordance with good practice, insure that no earth, sand, rocks or other foreign material exists on the joint surface during assembly of the sections. The Town shall check each manhole to determine whether the manhole fulfills the requirements of the approved plans and Fraser Visual Examination: Fraser shall visually check each manhole, both exterior and interior, for flaws, cracks, holes, or other inadequacies which might affect the operation or watertight integrity of the manhole. Should any inadequacies be found, the contractor shall make any repairs deemed necessary by the Town. Leakage Test: All manholes shall be tested for leakage and all tests shall be witnessed by the Town. The leakage test shall be conducted prior to backfilling around the manhole and shall be carried out in the following manner: 1. All lines leading into or out of the manhole shall be tightly plugged. 2. The manhole shall be filled with water to a level at least two inches (2") above the uppermost step. The water shall be allowed to stand for two (2) hours to allow for normal water absorption into the manhole material. At the end of the two (2) hour stabilization period, if the water level in the manhole has dropped below the top step, additional water will be added to bring the level above the step as before. Any visible external leakage or drop in water level noted within the one (1) hour test period shall constitute failure and the contractor shall repair or replace the defective work and retest. 5.5.3 Preliminary Internal Television Visual Inspection Test The Applicant shall notify Fraser when the sanitary sewer will be cleaned and ready for the internal visual inspection test. Upon receipt of this notification, Fraser will within a reasonable time frame, contract directly with a company to perform an internal television visual inspection test of each segment of the sewer line. A CD record of this internal inspection observation will be made of the inspection observations prior to preliminary acceptance. 5.5.4 Deferred Internal Television Visual Inspection Test A second internal television inspection of each segment of the sewer line shall be performed with the same format for labeling and stationing as the preliminary television visual inspection test. A CD record of this internal inspection observation will be made identical to that of the preliminary television visual inspection test. This deferred inspection is to be performed during the fourth quarter of the warranty period following preliminary acceptance of the sewer construction. If the deferred television inspection cannot be performed due to inclement weather and/or site conditions it will be delayed until a future date when the weather and/or site conditions allow for a safe working environment to perform the inspection, as determined by the Town. CHAPTER 6 STORMWATER SYSTEM DESIGN 6.1 GENERAL The Town of Fraser has adopted the Grand County Storm Drainage Design and Criteria Manual, Chapters 2 through 10, as its storm water detention/conveyance standards.

CHAPTER 9 SANITARY SEWER SERVICE LINE STANDARDS 9.1 GENERAL No service line may be constructed without prior approval from Fraser. The Applicant must provide adequate information describing the nature of the building or development to be connected, the proposed service line size, and the proposed connection point of the service line to the main. A site plan, showing the location of the proposed service line relative to other utilities on and adjacent to the property must be presented. The drawing must show the location of buildings served and parts of the site that are to be paved or otherwise intended to be kept clear of snow, and must also show service line slope and depth of cover over the service line. The sizing of sewer service lines shall be the responsibility of the Applicant. When requested by Fraser, the Applicant shall, at their expense, furnish data, plans, calculations, or other information as required for the evaluation of the service size. The service line, from the sanitary sewer main to the point of connection to the building(s) is the responsibility of the Owner of the property served. Repairs to the 53 service line and obtaining the required permits are also the responsibility of the property owner. Any service line construction or maintenance within the Town right-of-way requires an Access Permit from the Town of Fraser. All new sanitary sewer service line facilities shall be in accordance with these standards and the Plumbing Code as adopted, other applicable codes and generally accepted good construction practices. Connection of any sanitary sewer service line between a structure and the sanitary sewer main shall only be made after the service line has been pressure tested, inspected and accepted by the Town. In cases where the sanitary sewer line is installed under a new street within a subdivision, the Applicant is required to extend the sanitary sewer service lines to the property line prior to paving the street. This segment of the service line shall be pressure tested concurrently with the sanitary sewer main pressure test prior to paving the street. 9.2 SANITARY SEWER SERVICES 9.2.1 Sizing/Capacity The size and slope of the building service sewer shall be subject to the approval of the Town, but in no event shall the diameter be less than four inches (4").

NOW THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED BY THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF THE TOWN OF FRASER, COLORADO, AS FOLLOWS: PART 1: AMENDMENT OF MUNICIPAL CODE. - 1 - 1.1 The Code of the Town of Fraser, Colorado (herein sometimes referred to as the "Municipal Code"), is hereby amended by adding a new Chapter, to be numbered "Chapter 14 - Minimum Design Criteria and Construction Standards", which shall read as set forth in Exhibit "A" attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference. 1.2 Said Chapter 14 and the Minimum Design Criteria and Construction Standards set forth therein shall be published in pamphlet form and made available to the public at cost, and said Chapter 14 shall also be published as part of the Municipal Code available on the Town of Fraser website. 1.3 Chapter 1, Article 3, Section 1-3-70 of the Municipal Code is hereby amended in its entirety to read as follows: Sec. 1-3-70. General application policies. The following general policies shall apply to all applications for permits or other approvals required under the provisions of this Code, unless different requirements, which are inconsistent with the following, are specified under the provisions of this Code for a particular type of application: (1) No application will be considered complete until all prescribed fees and deposits have been paid. (2) Application fees: Application fees are established and modified from time to time by the Board of Trustees and are set forth in the current fee schedule approved by the Board. Such application fees are intended to defray the administrative expenses of processing applications attributable to the use of Town employee time and Town facilities. No part of an application fee shall be refunded on account of any denial, partial processing or withdrawal of part or all of the application. (3) Processing fees: In addition to application fees, the applicant shall pay all costs relating to the processing of the application, including the costs of publication for each publication required. If republication is necessary due only to Town error, the Town will pay the costs of republication. The applicant shall also pay the costs for mailing notification of the application to adjacent or surrounding property owners, if required. The applicant shall pay any and all recording fees relating to the application or approval thereof and all inspection fees relating to the application or administration of the permit or other approval. (4) Additional costs: The applicant shall pay for any additional costs incurred by the Town for the services of outside professionals, consultants or other review agencies, other than Town staff (including without limitation, attorneys, engineers and outside planning consultants), during the review and consideration of an application. The Town will send invoices to the applicant for expenses incurred as the Town is billed, which shall be paid by the applicant within the time prescribed - 2 - in the invoice. Any amounts not paid when due shall accrue interest at the rate of eighteen (18%) percent per annum. (5) Deposit: The Town staff responsible for receiving or processing an application may require the applicant to provide a cash deposit, in an amount specified in the Code or the fee schedules established by the Board of Trustees, or if not so specified, as determined by staff as the amount reasonably required to secure payment of the anticipated processing fees and additional costs relating to the application not covered by the application fee. The deposit shall be placed by the Town in a non-interest bearing account at a local financial institution. If the applicant fails to make timely payment of any fees and costs billed by the Town, the Town may draw upon such deposit to pay such fees and costs and suspend further proceedings or reviews relating to the application until the applicant pays the amount necessary to reinstate the full amount of the required deposit. The applicant's failure to make such payment within thirty (30) days after written notice from the Town shall be sufficient grounds for denial of the application. Any unused portion of such deposit remaining after completion or termination of the application, review and approval process shall be refunded to the applicant. (6) All outstanding fees, taxes and invoices shall be paid in full prior to final approval of the application or issuance of the applicable permit, certificate or other approval document. Deposit shall be held for sixty (60) days after approval to cover any outstanding invoices relate to the application. (7) In the event of non-payment of fees, costs or other charges owed, the Town shall have the right to file a legal action to collect any balance due to the Town, plus its costs of collection, including reasonable attorney’s fees, against the applicant and/or the owner of the property that is the subject of the application. The amount of such unpaid fees, costs and other charges owed to the Town shall constitute a lien upon any property that is the subject of the application, and the Town may certify to the County Treasurer any amount due for collection in the same manner as other property taxes are collected. (8) The Town shall reserve the right to revoke or suspend any permit, certificate or other approval issued hereunder if the work or activity undertaken pursuant thereto is not done in accordance with the approved terms.

TOWN OF FRASER ATTEST: Fran Cook, Mayor _____________________________ Lu Berger, Town Clerk ñÙÑÏÌÝÐÚÉÑ TO: Mayor Cook and Board of Trustees FROM: Allen Nordin, Director of Public Works DATE: October 27, 2011 SUBJECT: Supplement to PW Briefing: Conroy Excavating Contract - Leonard Lane Drainage Swale Project Mayor Cook and Trustees, We continue to make good progress on the construction of the drainage swale improvements between Leonard Lane and the railroad. It is anticipated that the project will be completed by the middle of next week. The purpose of this memo is to update you on the status of the contract and actual costs associated with this project. When we first began getting cost estimates for the project from Conroy Excavating we were moving forward with options for doing the work without the benefit of design drawings and as inexpensive as possible. The Not-to-Exceed estimate we received from Conroy for this work was $10,000. The contract was executed to that effect so that the work could begin with the pending change in weather and contractor availability. In the meantime, the Town Engineer had been working on design drawings for this project that would be used for our presentation to the Board of our overall drainage system needs for the Town. However, once the drawings were completed and provided to the Town, I inadvertently failed to pass them along to the contractor in order for them to provide a more accurate cost estimate for the work. Following a recent discussion with the contractor regarding the project, we reviewed the costs- to-date with those totaling approximately $9,500 and reviewed what the remaining costs would be needed to complete the project in advance of the approaching winter months as well as spring runoff next year. The estimated costs for the balance of the work to be completed is broken down as follows: additional equipment time to prep the channel and place armoring material, $3,700; purchase of rip rap armoring material for the channel, $2,300; and revegetation, $3,200. This brings the total project amount to approximately $19,000. I would recommend that in order to complete this project ahead of the spring runoff that a Change Order be approved in the amount of NTE $10,000 itemizing the above referenced changes. Over the past several years Conroy Excavating has partnered with the Town on numerous projects and they have always performed at the top level of quality and professionalism. Please feel free to contact me should you have any questions. Regards, Allen TOWN OF FRASER RESOLUTION NO. 2011-11-02 A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING APPROVAL OF A CHANGE ORDER TO THE CONROY EXCAVATING - PUBLIC WORKS CONSTRUCTION CONTRACT FOR THE LEONARD LANE DRAINAGE SWALE PROJECT WHEREAS, the initial cost estimate for this project was based on a field review of the work without the benefit of the design plans which exposed the need for additional excavation and trucking of export material and placement of armoring material, and NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF THE TOWN OF FRASER, COLORADO THAT: 1. The Town Board of Fraser, Colorado hereby approves an amendment to the Public Works Construction Contract amount through a Change Order Request in the amount of $10,000, and authorizes and directs the Town Manager to execute the Change Order in the amount of $10,000. nd DULY MOVED, SECONDED AND ADOPTED THIS 2 DAY OF NOVEMBER, 2011.

I believe this will be a great tool. Please let me know if you would like to participate. If you have any questions, please give me a call. Lu Finance Update: 11/02/2011 Prepared: 10/26/2011 No reports this week! Our September Sales Tax will arrive 11/8/11 and it’s still too early for financials yet. Great News – both Grand County #1 Water and Sanitation and Winter Park Ranch Water and Sanitation have both voted to accept the 2012 JFF Budget and the 2012 CRRS and all the changes which that entailed. They will both adopt their own 2012 Budgets in November and that will, in mind, be the buy-in I am looking for, but this is great news and a nice “pat-on-the-back” for everyone’s hard work here and at the Plant. So now the CRRS is officially in my lap, so I have to make sure I can meet all the promises I have made in regards to the changes to the CRRS and deposits to the reserve accounts, and the changes we have made to our chart of accounts for capital projects! The good thing is we know our path; we just have to make sure our vision is clear and on target. The advantage for our organization is we now have the JFF set-up as all of our other funds, utilizing the Town’s long range forecasting and modeling set-ups already established and proven. Budget is my life these days, being buried by all else and trying to keep my eye on all of the year- end routines which will soon need to be attended too! Budget 101 and Budget 501 classes have available time slots for answering any and all questions; just give me a shout to schedule your one-on-one time.
