These improvements can be rolled into the value of the property (lot 2) if and when the property is sold (see redlined landscape plan). 35. Exchange the Blue Spruce at the east entrance for an Austrian Pine or other species which will not grow quite as large and will not: create site distance problems for the eastern driveway. 36. Staff would recommend the use of a drought tolerant sod/seed mixture for your turf areas. Staff also suggests that you look into adding areas of drought tolerant ground cover, such as spreading junipers or sedun with wood chip mulches, to reduce the amount of sod and thus reduce your water requirements. Please indicate your seed mixtures on the landscape plan. 37. Include a maximum height statement on the architectural elevations sheet. Please label the elevations (east, west, north, south). Will the east and west elevations be the same, as depicted in the top drawing? What will the roof material and color be? What is the general color scheme of the brick area? 38. Will the enclosed storage building be brick or of a fencing material'? 39. Provide additional information about the steeple, since it extends above the maximum building and structure height limit of 401. Include information on size, diameter, materials... 40. Include the names of the landscape and architectural firms that prepared the landscape plan and architectural drawings. This concludes staff comments at this time. In order to stay on schedule for the March 23, 1992 Planning and Zoning Board hearing, please note the following deadlines: Plan revisions are due March 4, 1992 by 12:00 noon. PMT's, colored renderings, and 10 prints are due March 13th. Final mylars and other documents are due March 19th by 12:00.

The name changes have been made as per your request. Items We have no intention of moving or disrupting the existing ditch that 2, 3, 4, would require an easement change, crossover agreement, or & 6. improvements to the ditch bed and banks. Review and approval rights by the ditch company's Board of Directors is understood. Item 5. The Owner shall take responsibility of weed control in the proximity of the landscaping shown along the bank. This will enable the Pleasant Valley Ditch Company maintenance personnel to avoid spraying 4 FF C c7 n C CT _ rnnT I`I n nn r, r, church landscaping with herbicides. Item 7. The trail is now indicated on the ODP. Item 8. The base plan for the ODP has been modified as per your instructions. Item 9. Certifications are included on the ODP. Item 10. Harmony Road access points are now indicated. We do not have information for the locations of intersections on Regency of Wakerobin Lane. Item 11. Cross -access points from the west extension of tract C to Tracts D1 and D2 have been shown. These would only be utilized for uses other than single family residential or duplex residential units which would 00 have driveway access directly from Regency Drive. Any developed =s of Tracts D 1 and/or D2 shall not be permitted to utilize the parking area of Tract C to access Harmony Road. This could be controlled through signage and/or speed bumps. Item 12. The policies of the LDS Church specifically prohibit schools or day- care centers from being conducted in their church facilities. I have been told by Rick Ensdorf that it would be highly unlikely that a median would be constructed at this location on Harmony Road. The intent of the west extension of Tract C is to allow east -bound access on Harmony Road via Regency Drive in the event that a median is constructed. Items The ODP notes have been modified to permit access from Harmony 13& 14 Road. The planning notes listed in item 14 have been included. Item 15. Land uses for Tracts D 1 and D2 have been modified to match Land Development Guidance System categories. Item 16. The building has been reviewed for fire sprinkler requirements; the building does not require a fire sprinkler system. Item 17. The lot sizes have been included on the plat. Item 18. Utility easements as requested have not been added at this time, but they will be on the final drawings. 41Utt &R -klml Item 19. The plat has been revised to show cross -access agreements. - -ter Item 20. Note: The cross access easement is provided only to be utilized for uses other than single family residential or duplex residential units which would have driveway access directly from Regency Drive. Item 21. A signature block for the Pleasant Valley Ditch Company has been provided. Item 22. A street design to the extent necessary to determine that the grades of our project will work has been prepared by The Engineering Company. Item 23. Harmony Road is an improved road with curb and gutter which increases the value of the land and is reflected in the purchase price paid by the Owners. We understand the concept and requirement of Flo Street Oversizing Fees but we do not understand the purpose or basis for requiring the Owner to also pay for Harmony Road improvements. Please submit City statutes which clearly define what is intended with these funds; would they offset the Street Oversizing fees? Unless this is the case, we regard payment of both the Street Oversizing fee and the improvement costs of Harmony Road as being double -charged. 14O Items Lots 2 & 3 shall be improved by the Owner with the culverting of the 24 & ditch which will greatly enhance the build ability of these two sites. 25. The Engineering Company is currently working with the City Storm Water staff to develop a plan; information shall follow at a later date. Therefore the requested improvements of street trees and sidewalks are not included in our revisions. Item 26. Revisions have been made on the Utility plans and Plat in response to comments on those documents. Item 27. The City may make a request to the LDS Church for shared parking for trail users, however the liabilities involved would make approval of the request doubtful without complete indemnification of the LDS Church by the City of Fort Collins for those who would use the parking in conjunction with the trail. The issue of Sunday use would also have to be addressed. Items Zoning and parking notes have been corrected. The standard 28 & landscape notes are included in the project specifications which are a 29. legal part of the contract documents. It is our objective to not list this information twice and therefore the notes are not included on the drawings. Item 30. The handicapped parking has been relocated to align with the ramps. Item 31. The City trail will be shown on the final site plans. Item 32. A parking table shall be included on the final drawings. Item 33. The sign is indicated on the south building elevation. There is no monument sign. Item 34. Lots 2 and 3 are off -lots intended for resale. Therefore improvements of these lots, beyond the culverting of the drainage ditch should rightfully be the responsibility of the future purchaser. Please rernember the discussion of these two lots at the Conceptual Review indicated it was optional to plat - or not plat - this property at this time, and acceptance of the "full -platting option" would not require development fees for the undeveloped property. Likewise, the undeveloped property should not be required to be developed! Item 35. The Blue Spruce at the east entrance balances the color, texture, and density of the spruces planted at the west entrance and it is planted 60' away from the future alignment of Harmony Road. This should not present a sight/distance problem. Item 36. A three variety blend of Kentucky Bluegrass was chosen for the lawn areas because of its visual appeal and its ability to withstand foot - traffic. Our specifications call for grass seed containing: 70% Crested Wheat, 15% Tall Fescue, 10% Rye, and 5% Bluegrass to be used for the temporary lawn area at Harmony Road. There is a $50,000 landscape/irrigation budget for this project. Our estimates indicate we are at the maximum, and the addition of planting beds would exceed our budget and increase our maintenance. Item 37. Additional elevations have been added to reflect all four elevations. The heights of the building and steeple are shown by corresponding "elevation heights" with 100' representing ground level. The building will be roofed with an asphalt shingle in a gray -blue or black. The brick shall be two tones of light gray. Stucco areas are intended to be an off-white. Item 38. The storage building and adjoining trash enclosure shall be brick to match the building. Item 39. The steeple is constructed of white fiberglass with a five foot square base tapering in an elongated pyramid to a peak 38 feet above the base at a total height of 68 feet above the ground. Due to its narrow profile and its location on the site, no objectionable shadow shall be cast by the steeple. Item 40.

Please change the title of the Master Plan to "The Villages at Harmony West- Amended Overall Development Plan". We recently changed the name of master plans to overall development plans or ODP's and this will keep our files consistent. 2. The Pleasant Valley Ditch Company has a 35 foot easement on the "down side" of the ditch and a 15 foot easement on the "up side" (measured from the centerline of the ditch). If the ditch is moved in any way the Company would require a written easement to this effect. 3. Any section of the Pleasant Valley and Lake Canal Company ditch which is disrupted or moved should be lined and sealed by the developer, so that the ditch bed and banks are waterproof. A crossing agreement would be required if the ditch is disrupted or moved in any way. Please make a note to this effect on the site plan. 4. Any work to be done affecting the ditch shall be accomplished on those dates agreed upon by the Company. 5. Landscaping along the ditch must be done away from the ditch right of way. Weed Spraying along the ditch banks could affect plantings. 6. The Company reserves the right to provide further comments and requirements and will require a crossing agreement if the ditch is altered or affected in any way. Any agreement and work affecting the ditch itself is subject to review and approval by the Company's Board of Directors. Please include this note on the Overall Development Plan (ODP) and on the site plan. 281 (North Co! Ie_e Avenue • I'.O. flog 250 - FoTC Coliinc. CO '0722-IhSO • 00',) 221-1,7;i 7. The City now has a master planned trail on the east side of the Pleasant Valley and Lake Canal. Please show this proposed trail on both the Overall Development Plan and the site plan. If you have questions, please contact Leslie Bryson at 221- 6367. 8. The base plan that you used for the ODP is out of date (see redlined ODP for revisions). Please update the uses of the various tracts and put the names of the two schools and the park on the ODP. Tract A is single family homes with townhomes on the one corner. Tracts B, F, G, and H are now approved for single family lots with the Westbrooke PUD. Tracts I and E are the sites of 2 schools and a neighborhood park (Johnson Elementary, Weber Jr. High, and Westfield Park). (see attached 8 1/2" by 11" ODP plan of the previous amendment to this toaster Plan for land use information.) 9. Please include an Owner Certification and a Planning and Zoning Certification on the ODP. 10. Please show the existing or approved street intersections on Regency Drive and Wakerobin Lane. Also show the proposed Harmony Road access points on the ODP. 11. Please show the cross access points (for access to Tract D from Tract C) on the ODP and on the overall site plan. It is important to show how Tract D will get access when it is developed. Show an access point for lot 3 (north half of Tract D) off of Regency Drive and/or from the future parking area. Transportation is concerned that lot 2 (south part of Tract D) have access to Regency at a shared point with Tract C because no access will be allowed off of Harmony Road. Transportation also has concerns that future development of Tract D not use the main church parking lot to access Harmony Road. 12. The two access points on Harmony Road are acceptable as long as the church remains just a church. Any added uses, such as schools, day care centers, etc. would require further review by the City. You should be aware, that in the future, there may be a median in Harmony Road which may restrict turning movements at your driveways. There are no plans for a median at this time, but given the proximity of the site to the interseczion of two major arterials, it is a future possibility. 13. Review the existing notes on the ODP, it appears that note #Is 6 and 7 no longer apply. 14. Add the following notes to the ODP: * Existing zoning is rlp, low density planned residential. * Tracts A, B, E, and I are shown as previously approved and are not controlled by the applicant for this amendment. * Tracts C and D, as shown on the previously approved amended Overall Development Plan, are being amended with this plan. * The proposed land uses and densities shown on this plan are estimates of development potential. Approval of this Overall Development Plan by the City does not constitute final approval of these land uses, design or densities. Rather, any future land uses must be approved according to the procedures, processes and criteria of the Planned Unit Development Regulations and other relevant City policies and standards. 15. Land uses for Tract D should match the Land Development Guidance System categories, ie. Business Service Uses, Auto Related... and then specifically exclude certain uses. It appears that your list of intended uses does match the Business Service Uses category, therefore the words "Business Service Uses" should be included in the definition of proposed service uses. It is fine to list some uses, but use the wording: uses such as or including the following uses:... Please see the attached Business Service Uses definition, if you want to specifically exclude any of those uses, please add them in your list of exclusions. 16. The building size, construction type, occupancy use, and amount of open area within the church may require a fire sprinkler system. Please contact Warren Jones at 221-6570 for a review of the construction drawings. 17. Include the lot sizes, in square feet, on the plat. 18. Include a 10' utility easement across the north property lines of lots 2 and 3. Continue the 10' utility easement along the west property line of lot 3 to the north property line. 19. The access, utility, and drainage easement shown on the plat does not match the angled future parking lot on the site plan. Perhaps you could move the easement line to the north (see redlined plat) and indicate the entire area as an easement. 20. Provide •cross access easements for lots 2 and 3 so that they can share access on Regency. 21. The ditch company will have to sign off on the plans for grading that affects the ditch. Please provide a signature block for them. 22. A street design for Harmony Road will be required to assure that the driveways and ditch crossing work. Please submit Harmony :Road profiles and cross sections with the design. 23. The Developer must escrow for the cost of any improvements that will be delayed. Or, the developer may construct the required improvements on Harmony Road, when the church is constructed. 24. Staff questions the build ability of lot 2 given the 70' drainage easement, the cost of piping the flows to increase the buildable area, and the access situation. Staff is requiring that improvements on Harmony include the frontage on lot 2, including sidewalks and landscaping, as a guarantee that there improvements are in and the landscaping is maturing in the event that lot .2 is not developed, or is developed in the distant future. 25. Staff is also requesting that the developer complete sidewalk and landscaping improvements for lot 2 along Regency Drive. The City will arrange for a payback agreement to be written so the developer can be reimbursed by the future developer for the cost of improvements on Lot 2. Or the owner may wish to roll costs of improvements into the price of the property when it is sold. 26. See additional comments on the Utility Plans and Plat. 27. Would the church allow "shared parking" with trail users accessing the future Pleasant Valley and Lake Canal trail? 28. Correct the site plan note #3 to reflect that the zoning is rlp, low density planned residential not commercial. 29. Note #6 should say no "on -street" parking. Attached to these comments are samples of typical notes for site and landscape plans. Please include these notes on your plans. 30. The Commission on Disabilities suggest that the handicapped accessible ramps be relocated or the parking be restricted in those areas to prevent conflict between parked cars and ramp users. It works best if the ramps don't face directly onto parking stalls. 31. Show the proposed City Trail on the east side of the Canal, on both site plans. 32. How many parking spaces are being provided? Indicate which ones are Handicapped spaces. What will the square footage and the occupancy be for the assembly hall? This will help determine whether you have provided sufficient parking. Motorcycle and bicycle parking should be shown as per City code. A table showing number of parking spaces and types would be helpful. 33. Show, on the site plans, where the proposed sign will be. Will there be a monument sign out front? 34. The landscape plan has a good mix of deciduous and evergreen trees and shrubs. The variety and flowering elements should result in a spectacular array of textures and colors. Continue the turf grass and street trees along Harmony Road to Regency Drive and along Regency Drive to the curb cut for the
