Yours Truly, Ok-- Steve Olt City Planner Cc: Marc Virata Fred Croci Royce Clark Northern Engineering Current Planning File #30-95C Page 8 The following comments were expressed at the City staff review meeting on August 11, 2004: Engineering: 1. The entry drive into Poudre Valley Plaza from Arbor Avenue must be concrete from the flowline of the street to the property line. 2. Make the sheet title changes that were expressed in Comment #23 on page 2 of this letter. Water/Wastewater: 1. The proposed 1" water service into this building is not sufficient. It could be a 1.5" line but probably should be a 2" line. 2. There should be 2 water taps into this building. 3. If there is to be a restaurant in this building then a grease interceptor must be installed. Stormwater: 1. The plans must show how the storm water is to be pumped back to the existing detention pond. Also, the Homeowner's Association must approve the use of the detention by this building. Light & Power: 1. Please coordinate the transformer location(s) with Light & Power. 2. A C-1 commercial form must be filled out to help determine the electric needs of this development. Transportation Planning: 1. The pedestrian clear space between the columns on the front side and the building face should be increased. Page 7 Number: 11 Created: 8/5/2004 [8/5/04] Include the standard general note on the landscape plans pertaining to landscape/utility separation distance and locates. Show all water and sewer line on the landscape plans and maintain the required landscape/utility separation distances. Number: 12 Created: 8/5/2004 [8/5/04] Curb stops must be located within a utility easement. See site, landscape and utility plans for other comments. Department: Water Wastewater Issue Contact: Roger Buffington Topic: Utility plans Number: 31 Created: 8/11/2004 [8/11/04] A 1-inch water service is not adequate for the number of residential units shown. Department: Zoning Issue Contact: Peter Barnes Topic: zoning Number: 2 Created: 8/3/2004 [8/3/04] Total overall width/length dimension of building needs to be shown on site plan. The north/south and the east/west building dimensions don't reflect the total width/length of the building. Number: 3 Created: 8/3/2004 [8/3/04] A number of parking stalls are 8.5' wide. Such stalls are considered to be long term parking stalls and must be labeled "employee parking" of "for residential parking only" per Sec. 3.2.2(L)(3) and per the definition of "long-term parking" in Article 5. Number: 4 Created: 8/3/2004 [8/3/04] Show the distance between Buildings G and F.

Page 6 Department: Transportation Planning Issue Contact: David Averill Topic: Transportation Number: 13 Created: 8/5/2004 [8/5/04] Provide an enhanced pedestrian crossing from the proposed sidewalk ramp on the west side of the building to the north/south walkway west of the drive aisle. Provide a ramp at the west end of this crosswalk as it connects to the existing walkway. Also, it's probably not consequential, but the proposed cut doesn't align perfectly with the east/west walkway across the drive aisle. See redline for clarification. Number: 14 Created: 8/5/2004 [8/5/04] I am a little concerned with the clear space along the sidewalk adjacent to the head in parking at the front of the building. The arcade supports split this walkway intermittently to varying widths of 2' and 4' feet, with 7' to approximately 12' gaps. The Code requires a 6' minimum sidewalk width where head -in parking is allowed unless wheel stops are provided, and I'm not sure that this design meets that requirement. Number: 15 Created: 8/5/2004 [8/5/04] Provide a handicap access ramp adjacent to the handicap parking stalls, unless the parking area is proposed to be flush with the adjacent walkway. In that case wheel stops need to be provided and shown on subsequent plans. Department: Water Wastewater Issue Contact: Jeff Hill Topic: Genera/ Number: 7 Created: 8/5/2004 [8/5/04] Clearly define that the existing water and sanitary sewer services are to be abandoned at the mains.

Number: 16 Created: 8/10/2004 [8/10/04] Section 3.5.1(6) of the Land Use Code deals with "special" Building Height Review of buildings that exceed 40' in height. Four elements are reviewed, being Views, Light & Shadow, Privacy, and Neighborhood Scale. To be submitted for Special Building Height Review are: a shadow analysis, a visual analysis, and a summary of key conclusions. The shadow analysis has been submitted for review and does indicate that this building will have no adverse shade/shadow impact on properties outside of the project it will be a part of (Poudre Valley Plaza). However, no information has yet been provided to demonstrate the visual impacts of the building on residential neighborhoods to the east and south. It is important to graphically depict the potential impacts on views of the foothills from the neighborhoods and, through a narrative, to discuss the potential privacy and neighborhood scale implications. 8/16/04 ..... 3 copies of a visual analysis, with narrative submitted to the City for review. Topic: Landscape Plan Number: 33 Created: 8/16/2004 [8/16/04] There should be additional landscaping at the southwest corner of the building (see red -lined Landscape Plan), possibly to include shrubs and an ornamental tree. Number: 34 Created: 8/16/2004 (8/16/04] Some additional shrubs should be added around the southeast corner of the trash enclosure. Page 1
