A weed management control plan has been submitted. 2. Inclusion of the lighting restrictions cited within Section 5 -414: C. of the Revised Resolution, as amended, within the protective covenants of this proposed development meets the requirements of both the Former and the Revised Land Use Resolutions, ensures that lights used within this development will be minimized, and therefore generate the least impacts to the existing neighborhood. No additional lighting plan is required to be submitted. 3. The existing Ponderosa community public water system is proposed to be expanded and is regulated by the Department's Water Quality Control Division as PWSID # 126618, and design approval of a new system is required. Plans for the new system require approval of the Division. A copy of that approval by the Department is required to be submitted as part of the Final Plan submittal. 4. Evidence of easements allowing the construction and location of sewer lines from the development property across adjacent properties to the main collection line have not been delineated nor submitted. Their submittal is required as part of the Final Plan. 5. The applicant proposes to relocate the Whipp irrigation ditch, which crosses the northern portion of this parcel. Agreement with all ditch owners to accomplish that action has not yet been submitted. Relocation of the ditch is integral to location of locations of homes and amenities on certain of the single family and manufactured home lots. If such agreement cannot be secured, it is unclear as to whether lot lines and dimensions and /or numbers of lots would require realignment, and so require replat of at least a portion of the current plan. Such discrepancy shall be required to be indicated on the Final Plat. The City of Gunnison has indicated that a written access agreement is required between the City http : / /www.co.gunnison.co.us /BOCC /minutes /20030304mn.html 6/6/2003
