BUY • Fort Cullins, CO 80522-0580 • (303) 221-6750 Page 5 the buildings on Harmony must not be considered the service area and demonstrate design excellence. 40. Since the treatment of the buildings along Harmony are so important, Staff encourages the P.U.D. document to specify strict architectural standards in advance of future tenants. As so often happens, these pads are leased by franchise outlets intent on constructing the standard, national, corporate architecture. While Staff recognizes the need for identity, and has and will continue to work with national tenants, it must be made clear that the center will promote a consistent architectural theme, emphasizing quality materials. SITE PLANNING 41. Staff is concerned about the proliferation of perimeter building pads. This does not promote a pedestrian type center. Staff, therefore, suggests the pad buildings be clustered into groups rather than having each tenant on each individual pad. Perhaps this would reduce the fear that each pad will develop in its own style rather than in a uniform design. 42. Staff prefers the old original alignment of Oak Ridge Drive. The current alignment does not provide as much buffering to the south. How is the reduced setback compensated? 43. The preliminary site plan should list the anticipated allowable uses. NOISE 44. It will be important to analyze the potential noise impact associated with this development. Staff strongly suggests a noise analysis be conducted to quantify the impacts of truck delivery, the trash compactor, etc. SIGNAGE 45. Since the Pace lot has no legal frontage on Harmony, a free standing sign will not be allowed on Harmony Road. Similarly, only one free standing sign will be allowed per lot per frontage. Therefore, only one sign will be allowed on Boardwalk. 46. Staff is concerned about the potential lack of graphic consistency throughout the center. As a result, a signage and graphic program is suggested. At the least, modify mote number 12 to read: "At minimum, all signs must comply with the City of Fort Collins Sign Code. Final signage allowance and location shall be granted after P.U.D. review by the Planning and Zoning Board. Signage throughout the P.U.D. shall demonstrate sensitivity to surrounding properties, particularity along Harmony Road. Individual tenant signage shall also demonstrate a graphic consistency within the center. The use of common design elements within the signage shall be encouraged." Page 6 TRANSPORTATION 47. Staff strongly believes that Oak Ridge Drive should be constructed from Boardwalk to Lcmay. This would relieve the traffic on Boardwalk and provide recirculation to Lemay. This would also allow trucks to use Lemay as an option rather than having to rely solely on Boardwalk. MISCELLANEOUS 48. Please be aware that a Master Plan comment includes the future consideration of a Transfort bus stop with bench and shelter at the corner of Oak Ridge Drive and Boardwalk. This concludes staff comments at this time. In order to remain on schedule for the April 24, 1989 P & Z hearing, please note the following deadlines: Plan revisions are due April 5, 1989 PMT's, 10 prints, colored renderings are due April 17, 1989.

Box 580 Fort Collins, CO 80522-0580 Re: Review of Harmony Market P.U.D. Sam's Club Expansion —Major Amendment —Type II Dear Mr. Shepard: Thank you for your comments on the above -mentioned project. In an effort to address your comments concisely and simplify your next review we have summarized your comments and our responses below. ISSUES: Department: Current Planning Issue Contact: Ted Shepard 1 . The site plan, landscape plans, architectural elevations and lighting plan will constitute a five sheet "planning set" of documents that is distinct and different from the Utility Plans. These five sheets will be the "Major Amendment" that is fom arcled to the Planning and Zoning Board. The site plan, therefore, needs to be simplified to contain less construction detail information. Please delete the information where indicated and re -number the legend accordingly. Please place the title in the lower right comer and refer to it as a "Major Amendment" Also, all but note number 25 should be deleted and replaced with our standard notes. The sheet can remain as is (sheet 2 of 15) for inclusion in the Utility Plans but the set should re -numbered as a five sheet set for planning purposes. Response: Acknowledged'. The requested planning set is included. Tine notes have been changed per your request for the site plan included in this planning set. 2. Please add the ownership and notary and approval signature blocks as per the enclosed example. Response. Acknowledged. The ownership and notary approval blocks have been added per the example. 3. In general, the plans are hard to read. It is difficult to distinguish that which is being proposed and that which is existing. Please take a look at the enclosed plans for a recent Home Depot amendment. Note the use of redline imposed upon the existing plans so that the proposed improvements are very clear. If this kind of document can be produced, it would be very helpful. Response: Acknowledged. The planning site plan has been simplified to make it less confusing and easier to read. We have removed a lot of the notes from the plan view which helps simplify the plan. The landscape plans have also been revised to make it more clear and ease' to read. The adjoining property that is screened (graved) is not under construction. TEL 303 228 2300 FAX 303 44E 6678 - I - C—� Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc. 4. The Landscape Plan is difficult to read in that the trees to be removed are ghosted too lightly. 1 suggest that you take an approved Landscape Plan and redline out the trees that you are proposing to remove. Or, provide a separate Landscape Plan where the trees to be removed are color -coded. Response: Please reference the Landscape Consultant's plans and response to this item Now, having made that comment, there are an excessive number of trees that [are] proposed to be removed. The fundamental concept of the new parking lot design is flawed in that too many trees are sacrificed in order to gain a marginal number of spaces. For the City of Fort Collins, trees within the large parking lot represent ten years of maturity and do a magnificent job of mitigating the heat gain of the immense asphalt surface area. Please carefully evaluate as to whether all of the trees that define the south edge of the parking and the north elevation of the building need to be removed. Instead of prioritizing the needs of the new parking lot, the value of the trees should be given priority and the new parking lot designed around them. The value of the trees vastly outweighs the few parking stalls that would be gained by the removal of these trees. Please refer to the redline sheets for the trees that should be preserved. Response: Acknowledged. Please reference the Landscape plans far revised removal and transplanting counts. The landscape islands have been modiFed to preserve some of the trees along the front drive aisle. 6. The Landscape Plan simply states that there will be "New and Transplanted" trees. It is the City's desire that as much plant maturity be preserved as possible. The Plan should state that all trees to be removed will be transplanted back on site. If a transplanted tree is lost in the transplanting process, only then will be new tree be allowed. Where a new tree is provided, the caliper size shall be upgraded from the required minimum of two inches to 2.5 inches in caliper. I suggest a meeting with the landscape contractor, City Forester, Kimley Hom and myself to make sure that we embark on a workable course of action that meets the needs of all parties. Response. Please reference the Landscape Consultant's plans and response to this item In general, the Lighting Plan is excessive. The 1,000-watt fixtures should be replaced by 400-watt fixtures. There are several readings where the foot-candle measurements exceed ten which is in violation of Section 3.2.4(0) (7). 1 have compared the proposed Lighting Plan with the existing Super Wal-Mart, and the proposed new Home Depot and the Sam's Club illumination levels significantly exceed these other retail stores. Illumination levels should be reduced accordingly and the 1,000 watt fixtures deleted. Response- Acknowledged. The lightingplan has been revised to accommodate these requests and to meet the city standards. S. Since I do not have a Hubbell catalog, I do not know whether a "MSV A" is metal halide or high pressure sodium or some other type of lamp source. I will need specification sheets for each of the fixtures listed in the table. Staff recommends High Pressure Sodium since it is far more energy conserving than Metal Halide. Response: Acknowledged. The lamp type has been revised to use ffigh Pressure Sodium. We have provided the specification sheets for the Irnnps referenced on the lighting plan. 2- G—" Kimley-Horn IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINand Associates. Inc. 9. The 35-foot poles should be reduced to 30 feet to match the original approval the balance of the center. Staff is concemed that pole height, style and color may not be as consistent across the 50-acre center as possible. While there are some differences due to pad sites developing later than the anchors, introducing yet another new pole (style, height, color, lamp source) v,'ill detract from this consistency. Response: Acknowledged. The light pole heights have been reduced to 30 feet as requested to match the Harmony Market Center. The color and style of the poles will also be ordered to match the center. 10. Please note on the Lighting Plan that wall -mounted light fixtures (which are not shown) must also be sharp cut-off and down -directional. We have found that this detail is often overlooked resulting in the Planning Department rejecting the electrical contractor's installation and the client failing to receive a Certificate of Occupancy in a timely manner. This consternation can be avoided by specifying on the plans, supported by the manufacturer's specification sheet, a wall - mounted light fixture that meets our Code. Response: Acknowledged. A note has been added to the lighting plan regarding this request. The building plans will also reflect this request. 11. Please see the other redline comments on the Lighting Plan for further comments. Response: Acknowledged. Please reference the lighting plan to verify compliance with all other comments. 12. Comments on the architectural elevations are made on the plan sheet. Be sure to provide a "plan view" that matches the elevation for the north and west elevations. This is needed to review the extent of the facade projections and articulations. Response: Acknowledged. The Architectural floor plan has been provided. 13. Please add some benches near both the north and west entrances. Response: Acknowledged'. A total of three benches have been added, two along the north side of the building adjacent to the main entrance and one adjacent to the Tire Mounting Area entrance. Refer to the site plan. Department: Zoning Contact: Jennv Nuckols Topic: Zoning Number: 1 Created: 11/13/2003 [11 /13/031 Elevations shouldn't show signage. Please remove. Signs will be reviewed separately by zoning at the time sign permits are applied for. Response: We understand the signage will be reviewed separately. The Architect felt it necessary to show the signage which they thought would be approved by zoning. The signage shown is only to convey the appearance of some sort of signage that will eventually be installed. Number: 2 Created: I 1 / 13/2003 [1 1 /13/03] The parking lot as shown doesn't comply with the LUC standards 3.2.1 (E) (5) P, No more than 15 parking spaces 3- PP1`=Fj Kimley-Horn hhh, M and Associates, Inc. in a row, without an intervenin, landscaped island.

Number: 7 Created: 11/13/2003 [11/13/03] Suggestion - as a frequent shopper to Sam's, I'd like to note that the shrubs at the end of the aisles create a huge site obstruction. Unless you are driving a full size SUV, the placement of the shrubs makes it nearly impossible to see oncoming vehicles in the drive aisle. I've witnessed numerous near -accidents. I'd like to suggest that those shrubs be replaced with low - growing evergreens. Response. Noted. Please reference the Landscape Consultant's response to this item.

Department: Engineering Issue Contact: Dave Stringer Topic: Civil Plans Number: 13 Created: 11/28/2003 [11/28/03] The intersection improvements as shown on the Bank One plans are not acceptable to the City. In discussions with City Transportation, the striping proposed by the development (which would eliminate separate through and right tum movements on both legs of Boardwalk) is not acceptable. Separate through and right turn lanes must be maintained due to the hieh numbers of turning movements. As a result, the TIS will need to be amended based upon single left turning movements instead of the double lefts as assumed in the study. Response: The traffic study has been revised with single left turn lanes on the northbound and southbound approaches to the Harmony RoadToardwalk Drive intersection. Also refer to the Boardwalk Drive striping plans which show a new lane confrguration which maintains separate through right turn lanes. The bicycle lanes have been reduced to 6'to accommodate this. Number: 14 Created: 11/28/2003 [1 1/28/031 The TIS indicates that all curbs at the Harmony and Boardwalk intersection are at "finished" locations. The current street width needs to change in order to allow for future double lefts; the Bank One project dedicated additional right-of-way to allow for future widening. Please ensure 56 feet of right-of-way is provided from the existing street Centerline of Boardwalk Drive. Approximately 12 additional feet from existing right-of-way. Responce: This additional right-o%wav requested along Boardwalk Drive is not adjacent to the Sam's Club project .site, and therefore not owned by this property owner. Anv dedication of right-af-way tit this location would need to be acquired from the current property owner of the overall Harmony Market site. In addition, we have been told that the City no longer wants double lefts. Number: 15 Created: 11/28/2003 [11 /28,103] Amended TIS may show that north entrance from Boardwalk into Harmony Market 1st Filing may need to move because of stacking problems for through and left turning movements.

Number: 24 Created: 12/3/2003 [ 12/3/031 According to the City standards walkways through parking lots with parking stalls on both sides need to be a minimum 8 feet in width. The walkway through the handicap parking stalls in front of the entrance appears to be only 6 feet in width. Please increase to a minimum 8 feet. (Figure 5, Article 3, page 39) Response: Acknowledged. The island width has been increased to accommodate the 8 foot walkway. Number: 25 Created: 12/3/2003 [12/3/03] Transportation staff highly recommends that a new walkway from the NW comer of the addition be constructed out to the Boardwalk sidewalk instead of the proposed walkway shown on the driveway entrance on the NW comer of the lot. (See redlines) This will not only provide a more direct connection to entrance of Sam's Club, but also the other stores within the shopping center and create a physical separation for shoppers pushing carts to cars. Response: Acknowledged. The proposed walkway has been modified to match your request. Refer to site plan. Number: 26 Created: 12/3/2003 [12/3/03] Transportation staff also recommends that the shrubs along the center drive aisle be trimmed or replaced. They area site obstruction and create an unsafe driving condition. Response. Please reference the Landscape Consultant's response to this item. Number: 27 Created: 12/3/2003 [ 12/3/03] The submitted T1S did not include any analysis of transit, bicycle or pedestrian level of service. However, since the majority of this infrastructure already exists a complete analysis is not necessary. A memorandum stating how the required LOS for these modes is being met would be sufficient.

Staff offers the following comments: Stnlf is very concerned about preserving the integrity of the land use designations on Parcels IH, IG, and IF. Given the current application for a 1'.1J.1). on Parcel IB, it becomes a critical land planning objective to provide an effective transition of uses in order to buffer the existing single family homes in Fairway Estates. Successful shopping centers in Fort Collins have relied upon transitional land uses to mitigate impacts on the neighborhoods in which the centers are located. Staff, therefore, recommends that two measures be taken to Cnsnre the proposed land use designations on Parcels 1H, IG, and IF remain as proposed and not be diluted in the future to commercial uses. A. The owner of the property is encouraged to file deed restrictions with the Latimer County Clerk and Recorder establishing, for public record, the allowable land use designations on Parcels IH, IG, and IF. Such restrictions would allow prospective purchasers or leasees to examine the public record and he I'orc%varned of the land use limitations in a prudent manner. Similarly, title companies v;ould be alerted to the use restrictions and only commit to insure accordingly. B. The Master Plan document should contain a strong note indicating that Parcels 111, IG, and IF are specifically reserved for certain uses expressly designed to act as a transitional buffer between Parcel IB and the Fairway Estates Subdivision. Such a note will act as an advisement to future Planning and Zoning Boards that the land use designation is an important design element for the overall effectiveness of the Mastcr Plan. Please draft a note that is clear, concise, and unequivocal. The note will be reviewed by the City Attorney. 2. Child care centers have effectively been used as transitional land uses between commercial centers and residential areas. Have child care centers been investigated for possible uses on Parcels IH and IF? Despite the existing child care center north of Harmony, trends indicate a future need for such a facility, especially in the southeast portion of the City. ,Oo I.al'nrte Al cnuc • P0, Iiuy S'IO • Dort (olhns, C1 60522-0h00 • (303) 221-0750 Page 2 3. Transfort is interested future service in the area. It is anticipated that there would be a need for several bus stops and passenger waiting shelters at strategic locations. Ppssfble locations include the corners of Boardwalk and OakRidgc, Boardwalk and Steele, Steele and Fossil Creek Pkwy, Please indicate on the document that these points are being considered for Transfort facilities. 4. The document should indicate that the direct access off Harmony Road will be restricted to a right-in/right-out turn movement. 5. The Public Service Company cautions that future development will require clos_ coordination between the installation of buried gas line and the planting of street trees. 6. The City of Fort Collins Water and Sewer Department cautions that the area of the Master Plan contains the service area of both the City and the Special Districts. At the time of development, and to avoid potential conflicts, it is suggested that a Master Utility Plan be submitted for review and comment by the effected water and sewer providers. This concludes staff comments at this time. The schedule of deadlines for the April 24, 1989 Planning and Zoning Board meeting is as -follows: Plan revisions are due April 5, 1989. PyIT's, 10 prints, colored renderings are due April 17, 1989. Final documents are due April 20, 1989. As always, please call at your convenience to discuss these comments.

The following comments for the P.U.D. are offered: UTILITY INFORMATION 1. A 16 inch water main must be constructed in Boardwalk, and connected to an existing 12 inch main in Boardwalk north of Harmony Road. The City Water and Sewer Dept. will pay for the oversizing. A 20 inch water main is existing in Lemay Avenue. Both mains will be used to provide service to the shopping area. 2. A sanitary sewer main is existing at the intersection of Oak Ridge Drive and Lemay. This main will have to be extended to Boardwalk, and will be used to provide sewer service. 3. Mountain Bell requests a 10 foot wide easement on the east side of Boardwalk Drive to continue north to Harmony Road. d. The First Filing of Harmony Market P.U.D. will not affect existing Public Service Company easements. However, future filings will need to indicate one and possibly two recorded PSCo. easements. Public Service cautions that trees or fences will not be allowed in these easements. Street streets should not interfere with underground gas lines. 5. Oak Ridge Drive will need to be extended east to Lemay with the First Filing or additional costs must be paid to the City Light and Power Department to install temporary overhead electric power lines from the west side of Lemay to the east side of the First Filing. The estimated cost for this temporary overhead line is $10,000. However, if the Light and Power Department is able to complete a bore under Harmony Road, then the extension of Oak Ridge Drive, or the temporary overhead line will not be required.

Light and Power advises that street trees should be setback 7.5 feet from the curb to avoid conflicts with buried conduit. 7. 'fhc State Division of Highways will require a submittal request to allow the right-in/right-out on Harmony Road (State Highway 68). 8. The water lint; connection across Harmony (which may require a bore) will need a permit from the State Division of Highways. 9. Please check all landscape materials at the intersections for possible conflicts with vehicular sight distances. 10. The sidewalk on Harmony Road should be adjusted according to the details provided on the red -lined utility plans. 11. All buildings must be constructed in accordance with the City Building Code with regard to the requirements relating to fire sprinklers and fire containment areas. 12. An engineer's fire flow report must be submitted showing water supply capability of the water supply system. 13. All areas throughout the project where undesignated parking may obstruct fire access must be posted: "No Parking - Fire Lane". Approved signage must be used. Areas where this would apply are at the main frontages to the buildings and the rear service areas. 14. All parking lot drive aisles and service drive areas must be designated as access casements. 15. Please indicate the building envelope dimensions for Pad 2 on the First Filing final site plan. 16. Permission must be obtained from the owners of the irrigation ditches before abandonment. 17. The Drainage Report should address water quality aspects as well as the attempts made to prevent degradation of the quality of the runoff. 18. The First Filing landscape plan needs to be revised to show the newly aligned detention pond. PARKING AND CIRCULATION 19. Minimizing air pollution at the site requires the best practical traffic flow, especially when parking exceeds 75% of capacity. Is the design of the parking lot entrances consistent with the best traffic engineering practice? Has internal circulation been designed to reduce traffic conflicts? Safe, efficient internal traffic flow helps air quality. Page 3 20. Have you considered shifting the parking lot access drive on Boardwalk further to the south to directly line up with the internal "loop road". This would avoid a "T" intersection as it is shown now. 21. As stated above, the loop road should be prioritized to reduce unnecessary conflicts and excess turning movements. Staff suggests that the loop road in front of the anchor tenants not provide a 'curb cut" for every parking aisle. Rather elongated landscaped islands should define one cut to serve two or three aisles. This would define a series of separate lots with perimeter landscaping. Recirculation could occur on the north loop road so there arc no dead -ends. An illustration is available to demonstrate this idea. 22. The parking lot design does not provide sufficient pedestrian amenities. Pedestrian paths (6 foot minimum), flanked by landscaping should be provided to allow shoppers to move safely and freely throughout the entire center. This path could be placed in the landscaped area that would separate the individual parking lots as defined above. Each path could serve two lots. This concept has been used successfully in the Pavilion Shopping Center on South College (T.J. Max). 23. Perimeter stall lengths may be reduced to 17 feet where there is a two foot landscaped overhang. 24. All parking lot islands should include shrub beds. Staff suggests that parking lot islands be treated with slight berms. Such berms should match the height of perimeter parking lot berming. This creates a positive perspective from the street as the view would not include headlights, grills, tires, etc. but rather landscaping and just a partial view of the car. To a limited extent, this has also been done at the Pavilion Shopping Center. To a larger extent, the effect could be dramatic. 25. The employee parking lot needs further definition as to stall locations, landscaping, etc. 26. All interior parking lot landscaping should not be less than 6%. 27. All interior parking lot sidewalks should be a minimum of 6 feet. 28. The loading area on the east side of Pace should be temporarily screened until the adjacent building is constructed. Also, it was not made clear whether trash compactor will be located in such a way as to screen the view and buffer the noise. These details should be made more clear on the final site plan. LANDSCAPING 29. Staff feels strongly that the 80 foot buffer along Harmony should be constructed with the First Filing. Since the Pace is the largest building envelope, it is necessary to establish the landscape buffer now. The buffer should consistently be 80 feet. Page 4 30. Berms along Harmony should be undulating to provide interest. Shrub beds designed to cover the mulched area in 3 to 5 years should be included. Berms should be wide enough to adequately water and maintain. 31. The west side of Boardwalk should be landscaped with street trees to create a quality strcetscape and to begin to provide buffering to the west. 32. The landscaping plan should employ large caliper trees (4 inch) around the Pace building. Similarly, the conifers in this area should be 10 to 12 feet in height. These larger materials would be necessary to establish the appropriate buffering. 33. The landscape plan should specify which pine and spruce will be 6 foot, 7 foot. or 8 foot. There should be a mix of one third of each. 34. The City Forester has inspected the site and requests that the 3 mature spruce trees in the area of the farmhouse, be preserved. Also in this area, please preserve the large honeylocust and the large diameter elm. The old willows and small diameter elms are not, in themselves, valuable. However, as a cluster, the old trees provide a visual interest. While you are encouraged to preserve these older trees, it will not become a requirement. 35. Offsitc landscaping north of Harmony Road, in the area south of the homes on Seaway Circle, is strongly encouraged. These homes were built before the Gateway concept and do not benefit from the new buffering requirements. 36. Berms along the cast side of Boardwalk are strongly encouraged. Again, the width and height should be sufficient to screen headlights. 37. The final landscape plan does not indicate any shrubs or berming along the south and west elevations of the Pace building. Adding these elements will help soften the effect of such a large structure. ARCHITECTURE 38. One of the major issues identified is the use of quality exterior building materials. Staff encourages the use face brick and other materials to create a quality appearance for the Pace building. Since Pace will be the first user, the quality materials will set a standard for others to follow. Staff expects the Pace architecture will be substantially improved over the elevations that were submitted on March 6, 1989. 39. The buildings along Harmony must demonstrate quality to made compatible with the surrounding area. Staff suggests the north elevations of these buildings to be brick. Also, the north elevation must screen such items as service entries, dumpsters, pad mounted mechanical equipment, and gas and electric meters. Roofs should screen rooftop mechanical equipment. Blank walls should be broken up with treatments such as "false shutters" to lend a residential character. Roof material should be sensitive. Flat roofs are discouraged and sloped roofs are preferred. In general, the north elevation of
