Yc rs Truly, Steve Olt City Planner cc: Susan Joy Interwest Consulting Group JR Engineering Current Planning file #56-98AO Page 10 Department: Zoning Issue Contact: Peter Barnes Topic: Zoning Number: 1 Created: 1 /2/2007 [ 1 / 2 / 07] Indicate potential wall sign locations on elevation drawings. Number: 2 Created: 1 /2/2007 [1/2/07] Label Illinois Drive on Sheet 4 of 8 (landscape plan). Number: 3 Created: 1 / 2 / 2007 [1/2/07] Amend plant note #4 on landscape plans to state that financial guarantee is for 125% of the value (submittal incorrectly states 115%). Number: 4 Created: 1 / 2 / 2007 [ 1 / 2 / 07] Must state what the specific proposed uses are going to be on the site plan. " 2 story commercial" is too broad. Number: 5 Created: 1 / 2 / 2007 [1/2/07] show/label handicap ramps onto sidewalk at handicap parking spaces. Number: 6 Created: 1 / 2 / 2007 [ 1 / 2 / 07] Remove the monument sign location from the plans. The sign code will regulate location and orientation, not the plans. Number: 7 Created: 1 / 2 / 2007 [ 1 / 2 / 07] All of the bike parking appears to be along Illinois. They should be dispersed around the site or additional racks should be added. It's not particularly convenient to ride a bike from the neighborhood, and then walk a block from the bike rack on Illinois to a building on Iowa. Number: 8 Created: 1 / 2 / 2007 [ 1 / 2 / 07] Add a note to the site plan stating that exterior lighting (poles and building -mounted) will be down directional, etc. Number: 9 Created: 1 / 2 / 2007 [ 1 / 2 / 07] how tall is the retaining wall? What material is it? This completes staff (and outside reviewing agencies) review and comments at this time. Red -lined plan from City departments are included with this comment letter. Another formal round of staff review is not necessary before scheduling and going to an administrative public hearing. The majority of the comments expressed in this letter can be addressed with your Final Compliance submittal. Be sure and return all red -lined plans when you submit Final Compliance The number of copies of each document to submit for Final Compliance will be provided to you by the City's Project Planner, upon request. Page 9 Department: Stormwater-Water-Wastewater Issue Contact: Roger Buffington Topic: Landscape plan Number: 27 Created: 1 / 10/2007 [1/ 10/07] Maintain the required separation between trees and fire hydrants. Number: 28 Created: 1 / 10 / 2007 [1/ 10/07] Show domestic water services and meter pits on landscape plan. Department: Stormwater-Water-Wastewater Issue Contact: Basil Hamdan Topic: Stormwater Number: 19 Created: 1 /9/2007 [1/9/07] The existing storm sewer that crosses the site west to east is within an existing drainage easement. Please show the limits of that easement onth e plans. If the existing easement is to be reduced, then the pipe should be within an easement that is wide enough for the storm line to be maintainable. Please show the width of the new drainage easement on the plat, it is not clear from the current plat exhibit what portion of the easement will remain after the original easement is vacated. Topic: Wastewater Number: 20 Created: 1 /9/2007 [ 1 / 9 / 07] Has the location of the existing sewer stub been field verified? If not, please do so to ensure proper horizontal separations are maintained. At final please provide a profile for the proposed sanitary lines. Topic: Water Number: 18 Created: 1 / 9 / 2007 [ 1 / 9 / 07] Please provide a valve and a.tapping saddle at the point of connection of the 8 " water line in Limon Drive to the one into the Center. All water lines up to the curb stops should be within a utility easement. Please show existing easements on the utility plan. Department: Stormwater-Water-Wastewater Issue Contact: Roger Buffington Topic: Water/Wastewater Number: 29 Created: 1 / 10/ 2007 [ 1 / 10/ 07] Utility plans are acceptable for preliminary. Page 8 Department: Transportation Planning Issue Contact: David Averill Topic: General Number: 21 Created: 1 / 10/2007 [1/ 10/07] All sidewalks that are adjacent to head -in parking must be a minimum six feet in width. The walkway in front of lot 5 and lot 6 does not meet this standard. Please double check all other walks of this nature and label the dimensions on the site/utility plans for the next round. Number: 22 Created: 1 / 10/2007 [1/10/07] Handicap access ramps need to be provided in the vicinity of all handicap parking stalls. Please revise the site and utility plans to reflect these changes. Number: 23 Created: 1 / 10/2007 [1/10/07] There doesn't appear to be enough bicycle parking provided per the LUC. By my calculations a minimum of 13 bicycle parking spaces need to be shown. Please refer to the LUC 3.2.2 C as well as LCUASS chapter 17 for requirements and specifications for bicycle parking areas. Number: 24 Created: 1 / 10/ 2007 [1/10/07] We need to see pedestrian crosswalks at the drive aisle crossings off of Iowa and Illinois. See redlined site plan. Number: 25 Created: 1 / 10/2007 [ 1 / 10/07] The ODP for Rigden farm specifies that a bicycle and pedestrian trail traverse this site. This trail is important as it provides excellent bike and ped access from the planned and developing neighborhood to the commercial developments associated with Rigden Farm. That being said, this design attempts to incorporate the trail into the development, but fall short of an acceptable design in a number of ways. It needs to be 8' in width for the entire length of the site as opposed to the 5' shown. The route from the east needs to be clearly defined and direct, and the current design does not accomplish this. Finally, the crossing of drive aisle and pedestrian walkways introduce a number of potential conflicts between different modes and users. I believe there are several tweaks that this design really needs to incorporate to in order to create a safe and viable pedestrian and bicycle trail in order to satisfy the intent of the ODP. Lets discuss and staff review and I will provide some redlines. Number: 26 Created: 1 / 10/ 2007 [1/ 10/071 The alt. modes analysis in the TIS is acceptable. Page 7 Number: 12 Created: 1 /3/2007 [1/3/07] Any damage to existing curb, gutter, sidewalk, landscaping, etc. during the installation of electric facilities will be the developer's responsibility to repair. Department: PFA Issue Contact: Carie Dann Topic: Fire Number: 30 Created: 1 / 10/ 2007 [1/ 10/07] FDC LOCATION: Please call me so we can discuss location of the automatic sprinkler fire department connections. Number: 31 Created: 1 / 10/ 2007 [ 1 / 10/ 07] EMERGENCY ACCESS EASEMENT: Willa blanket EAE be workable, or should it be revised to specific drive aisles? The fire lane shall be visible by painting and signage, and maintained unobstructed at all times. The fire lane must meet the following general requirements: ❑ Be designed as a flat, hard, all-weather driving surface (asphalt or concrete) capable of supporting fire apparatus weights. Compacted road base shall be used only for temporary fire lanes or at construction sites. ❑ Have appropriate maintenance agreements that are legally ❑ Maintain the required minimum width of 20 feet throughout the length of the fire lane. 97UFC 901.2.2.1; 901.3; 901.4.2; 902.2.1 Number: 32 Created: 1 / 10 / 2007 [1/ 10/07] FIRE HYDRANTS: Due to the proximity of the two fire hydrants in the parking lot to vehicle traffic, the hydrants shall be protected by a suitable number and location of protective bollards. Number: 33 Created: 1 / 10/ 2007 [ 1 / 10/07] ADDRESSING: Each building shall be addressed off the street it fronts (building numerals, with each suite addressed based on location in the building). Building numerals shall be a minimum 10 inches high, and suite numerals shall be minimum 6 inches high. Number: 34 Created: 1 / 10/ 2007 [1/ 10/07] TURNING RADII: Please provide a plan that shows the drive aisles meet the minimum required turning radii of 25 feet inside, 50 feet outside. Number: 35 Created: 1 / 10/2007 [1/ 10/07] CORRECTION: The second page of the preliminary plat states to see "Tact" comment on page 1 regarding the emergency access easement. That should be changed to "Tract." Page 6 Number: 49 1 Created: 1 / 16/ 2007 [1/ 16/07] The blanket utility easement in the parking lot is fine but check with the building department to make sure the trash enclosures are allowed in it. I THINK you're ok if the "structure" does not exceed 8 ft but check to make sure. If they won't allow it, then you'll need to block out the area on the plat. The big concern is not placing the enclosure over a waterline or something. Number: 55 Created: 1 / 16/2007 [1/ 16/07] Great plans -ready for hearing and first round of Final Compliance! Topic: Plat Number: 50 Created: 1 / 16/ 2007 [1/ 16/07] From Technical Services: Plat matches legal. Number: 51 Created: 1 / 16/2007 [ 1 / 16/07] From Technical Services: Plat closes good, area good. Number: 52 Created: 1 / 16/ 2007 [ 1 / 16/ 07] From Technical Services: Does Tract A need to bean access easement also? Number: 53 Created: 1 / 16/2007 [1/ 16/07] From Technical Services: Why not call the small portion of Tract A- Tract B and C - hatching is confusing. Number: 54 Created: 1 / 16/2007 [1/ 16/07] From Technical Services: Please show how exterior roads are dedicated. Topic: Site Number: 17 Created: 1 /9/2007 [ 1 / 9 / 07] Please remove contours, utilities and sight distance triangles. Department: Light & Power Issue Contact: Monica Moore Topic: General Number: 10 Created: 1 / 3 / 2007 [1/3/07] Overall Site Plan and Landscape Plan show electric meters in a different location that on the Dry Utility Plan for lots 5, 6, & 9.

Department: Engineering Issue Contact: Susan Joy Topic: General Number: 13 Created: 1 / 9 / 2007 [1/9/07] Please title the project consistently between the plan sets. Number: 14 Created: 1 / 9 / 2007 [ 1 / 9 / 071 Remove sight distance triangles as they are not required of this project. All the intersections are perpendicular and the project does not front the inside of a curving street (but thanks for the thought!) Number: 15 Created: 1 /9 /2007 [1/9/07] Please dimension all sidewalks, parking stalls, drive aisles, parkways, etc and label which type of easement it is (existing, proposed, utility, etc). Number: 16 Created: 1 /9/2007 [1/9/07] Sidewalks must be increased 2' in width where the parking stall is only 17'. I think you are meeting this requirement but not 100% sure in all locations. Number: 48 Created: 1 / 16/2007 [ 1 / 16/ 07] The variance request for the driveway separation has been approved. Please add to line 48 of the General Notes. Thanks! Page 4 Number: 63 Created: 1 / 16/ 2007 [1/ 16/07] Under LANDSCAPE REQUIREMENTS the amount of interior landscaping being provided is less than the amount required. This will require an Alternative Compliance request that will go to the Decision Maker. Number: 64 Created: 1 / 16/ 2007 [1/ 16/07] Two additional street trees are needed at the northwest corner of the site, in the parkway along Limon Drive. Also, one additional street tree is needed in the parkway along Iowa Drive, just south of the entry drive into the development. Number: 65 Created: 1 / 16/ 2007 [1/ 16/07] In PLANT NOTE 4, the amount of escrow, letter of credit, or performance bond required is 125%, not 115%. Department: Current Planning Issue Contact: Dana Leavitt Topic: Landscape plan Number: 39 Created: 1 / 11 / 2007 [ 1 / 11 / 07] Add utility information to legend. Clearly show utility lines at a scale that is legible. Number: 40 Created: 1 / 11 / 2007 [ 1 / 11 / 07] Add street trees on the northwest portion of the site fronting onto Limon Drive. Number: 41 Created: 1 / 11 / 2007 [ 1 / 11 / 07] There are numerous conflicts between utility lines and proposed tree locations. Have all options been explored for maintaining a separation between the two? Number: 42 Created: 1 / 11 / 2007 [ 1 / 11 / 071 Under the Landscape Requirements table the 10% standard for interior landscaping has not been met per stated calculations. Is there a justification for not meeting? Will you request a modification to the standards? Department: Current Planning Issue Contact: Steve Olt Topic: Site Number: 58 Created: 1 / 16/2007 [ 1 / 16/ 07] To General Note 9 on the Site Plan, please add "See subdivision plat". Number: 59 Created: l/ 16/2007 [1/ 16/07] An architectural detail is needed for the trash enclosures. Also, the enclosures cannot be located in the blanket utility &, drainage easement. Page 3 Number: 47 Created: 1 / 12/2007 [1/ 12/07] Christine Bebow of the Larimer County Assessor's office indicated that the property is currently in the name of Rigden Farm, LLC. It is assumed that it will be transferred to LADCO PROPERTIES, LLC, as shown on the subdivision plat, before the final plat is recorded. Number: 56 Created: 1 / 16 / 2007 [1/ 16/071 The term "Commercial" as a land use for this development is too general in nature. There are 21 different specific uses under the Commercial/Retail heading as administrative (Type 1) review uses and 5 different specific uses under the Commercial/Retail heading as Planning & Zoning Board (Type 2) review uses. Without more specific direction we do not know if this item has to go to an administrative hearing officer or the Board. Number: 57 Created: 1 / 16/ 2907 [1/16/07] Bicycle parking -a bike rack detail is needed (on the Site, Landscape, or Building Elevations Plan) and the number of spaces must be indicated on the Site Plan, in the LAND USE STATISTICS. Better distribution of bike parking is needed, per Section 3.2.2(C)(4) of the Land Use Code. Number: 61 Created: 1 / 16 / 2007 [ 1 / 16/07] The development plans should be titled Project (not Preliminary) Development Plan. Number: 67 Created: 1 / 16/2007 [ 1 / 16/ 07] On the Context Diagram it would be helpful to add some existing surrounding developments names for reference. Topic: Landscape plan Number: 43 Created: 1 / 11 / 2007 [ 1 / 11 / 07] A copy of the comments received from Tim Buchanan, City Forester, and the City's approved Street Tree List are attached to this comment letter. Number: 62 Created: 1 / 16/2007 [1/16/07] There are a total of 72 trees proposed in this development. No more than 15% of these trees can be of any one species, per Section 3.2.1(D)(3) of the Land Use Code, which would be 11 trees. One deciduous (Norway Maple) and one ornamental (Chanticleer Pear) tree species exceed this number.

Current Planning Issue Contact: Steve Olt Topic: Architectural Elevations Number: 66 Created: 1 / 16/2007 [1/ 16/07] There is that one element on the Architectural Elevations (West Elevations) that is right at 40' in height. If any part of any building is to exceed a height of 40' then the "Special Height Review" information must be provided for review. In essence, recommend keeping the buildings under or at 40'. Topic: General Number: 44 Created: 1 / 12 / 2007 [1/ 12/07] This development proposal would be the Rigden Farm, 14th Filing (not 15th). None of the development plans show a filing number. Is this intentional and is the developer not wanting a filing number associated with the project? Number: 45 Created: 1 / 12/2007 [ 1 / 12 / 07] Rick Lee of the Building Department is forwarding to the applicant a copy of the Codes and Standards that the Building Department will enforce. Please note that a Pre -submittal Code Review Meeting is required.
