Department: Transportation Planning Issue Contact: Matt Wempe Topic: Transportation Number: 2 Created: 1 /26/2010 [1/26/10] Per conversation with Terence Hoag lund, Transportation Planning (Matt Wempe) has preliminarily approved the internal sidewalk network shown on Tract C. This preliminary approval is contingent upon 1) homes facing the internal sidewalk network (condition met), and 2) installation of pedestrian crossing markings along the outer Soule Drive sidewalk in the southeast corner of the property (condition met). No pedestrian crossing markings are required on the west side of Soule Drive due to landscaping and drainage requirements. Number: 3 Created: 1 /26/2010 [1/26/10] The plans seem to show a gap in the sidewalk along Apex Drive connecting to the development to the east. Is this correct? Number: 4 Created: 1 /26/2010 [1/26/.10] All ADA ramps must be directional. Department: Technical Services Issue Contact: Jeff County Topic: Plat Number: 42 Created: 2/10/2010 [2/10/10] The boundary & legal close. Number: 43 Created: 2/10/2010 [2/10/10] The "P.U.D." needs to be taken out of the title & ownership statement. Number: 44 Created: 2/10/2010 [2/10/10] Is the "loop" (Ellis & Soule Drives) public or private? According to the site plan, this is a 20' Private Drive/Emergency. Access. Number: 45 Created: 2/10/2010 [2/10/10] The "Sight Distance Easement Restrictions" statement is not needed, if no sight distance easements are on the plat. Topic: Site Plan Number: 47 Created: 2/10/2010 [2/10/10] Please add the "less" to the legal description on the site plan. Topic: Utility Plans Number: 53 Created: 2/10/2010 [2/10/10] We were not routed a utility plan set. We will need to review them before they go to mylar. Page 5 Number: 13 Created: 2/9/2010 GENERAL NOTE 9: Please write: Address numerals shall be visible from private drive. and/or alley at rear of SFA/MF dwelling units. Number: 14 Created: 2/9/2010 PLAT On the plat, please label the southernmost drive, which runs east -west. It currently is Soule but is not labeled. Also, the roadway currently named Soule, for addressing purposes, will be considered a north -south roadway. Number: 15 Created: 2/9/2010 HYDRANT CLEARANCE Unless groundcover or equivalent height/size, landscaping must be at least 36 inches from a fire hydrant (full growth). Number: 16 Created: 2/9/2010 FIRE LANE/NO PARKING Please be aware that PFA has similar developments in its district (Emergency Access Easement/dedicated parking stalls) that have difficulty keeping residents and visitors from parking along the no -parking areas. This causes access problems for emergency vehicles. Please convey to the HOA that it has a responsibility for not only maintaining the EAE, but also enforcing no parking. , Department: Traffic Operations Issue Contact: Ward Stanford Topic: Traffic Number: 58 Created: 2/11 /2010 [2/11/10] The counts in the TIS at Ellis may be low due to the time of year of the counts and changes this Fall in Lesher's transportation plan providing parental drop-off/pick-up on Ellis. The possible low count gives concern from the proposed offset of the south leg of Ellis and the possible left turn conflicts an offset intersection can have. Reviewing the increase in traffic volumes on Prospect in the morning shows Prospect traffic rising significantly during the 7 AM hour. Recent Travel Time studies show traffic flow impediments in the vicinity of Stover. Being a signalized pedestrian crossing this indicates crossing pedestrian and/or vehicle activity near the school as early as 7:05 AM and as late as 7:50 AM. I believe it's beneficial to get a good picture of the current vehicular activity at Ellis to help make an informed decision on the proposed Ellis offset. Please re-count Ellis and Prospect between 7:15 AM and 7:45 AM. Number: 59 Created: 2/11 /2010 [2/11/10] The offset of the proposed south segment of Ellis with the existing north segment is of concern. Offset intersections are problematic due to possible left turn conflicts. Closely spaced pedestrian crossings are not expected by motorists. Stover Street just west of Lesher is an offset intersection and has been a source of traffic and pedestrian problems for many years. To accept another offset intersection on the school's east side is difficult to reconcile. The Variance process in the LCUASS has a Justification section (1.9.4.d) that does not seem to be met by this proposed offset intersection on a high volume, constrained arterial. Please provide further discussion and options for aligning Ellis. Page 4 WATER SUPPLY One more hydrant needs to be added, for a total of three. Remove the hydrant shown near Lot 10; add a hydrant near Lots 6 and 14; keep the hydrant near Lot 27. While the utility plan submitted meets the requirements for hydrant spacing, what would happen if we use the hydrant near Lot 27, is that the supply hose would stretch across Apex Drive, cutting off all access for later -arriving apparatus. Here are our general water supply requirements: Fire hydrants must be the type approved by the City of Fort Collins and the Fire Department. Hydrant spacing and water flow must meet minimum requirements based on type of occupancy. Minimum flow and spacing requirements include: • Residential within Urban Growth Area, 1,000 gpm at 20 psi residual pressure, spaced not further than 400 feet to the building, on 800-foot centers thereafter These requirements may be modified if buildings are equipped with automatic fire sprinkler systems. Number: 10 Created: 2/9/2010 EMERGENCY VEHICLE ACCESS Please show the Emergency Access Easement (private drives Ellis and what's now shown as Soule) on the plat. Access requirements are: Fire access roads shall be provided for every building when any portion of the facility, or any portion of an exterior wall of the first story of the building, is located more than 150 feet from fire apparatus access as measured by an approved route around the exterior of the building. This fire lane shall be visible by painting and signage, and maintained unobstructed at all times. A fire lane plan shall be submitted for approval prior to installation. In addition any new 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 binding and enforceable. ❑ Be designated on the plat as an Emergency Access Easement. ❑ Maintain the required minimum width of 20 feet throughout the length of the fire lane (30 feet on at least one long side of the building when the structures is three or more stories in height). If the building is equipped throughout with an approved automatic fire -sprinkler system, the fire code official is authorized to increase the dimension of 150 feet. Number: 11 Created: 2/9/2010 STREET NAME After thinking about this for some time, PFA cannot approve the proposed name Soule, based on the Larimer County "Rules of the Street." This document states that new street names: be simple to pronounce, in the opinion of the review jurisdiction; road names should be unique and not be repeated in the county, with the exception of continuation of existing streets; and all names shall be of the commonly acceptable spelling, according to a standard dictionary. PFA already has an existing Sol Court and there is the potential people would pronounce this new street as "soul" or "sol" instead of SOO-lee. Please suggest a new, proposed name. Number: 12 Created: 2/9/2010 GENERAL NOTE 8: Please write: Curbs on fire lanes will be painted red, and/or posted "No parking, fire lane" except at designated parking stalls. Page 3 Topic: Landscape Plans Number: 46 Created: 2/10/2010 [2/10/10] Lot 26 has a street tree placed right at the edge of the driveway and may cause a problem for the future homeowner.

Number: 34 Created: 2/9/2010 [219/10] Please remove "Proposed Row" labeling from the private drive. Number: 36 Created: 2/9/2010 [2/9/10] Please list out all variances to street design standards under line 48 of the general notes. Number: 37 Created: 2/9/2010 [2/9/10] Checklist E4 indicated that sight distance triangles and easements would be shown at final. However, these are required prior to hearing - are there any sight distance easements that need to be dedicated? Number: 39 Created: 2/9/2010 [2/9/10] Please provide a detail in accordance with Figure 7-24 that calls out all dimensions as shown so that we can determine if the street widening is to standard and that the correct row has been dedicated. Number: 41 Created: 2/10/2010 [2/10/10] Lot 18 is showing the driveway placed over the storm inlet. Please relocate either one of them. Department: Forestry Issue Contact: Tim Buchanan Topic: General Number: 57 Created: 2/10/2010 [2/10/10] Applicant needs to schedule an on- site meeting with the City Forester to determine the condition of existing trees and suitability for retention. Trees (including street trees) need to be direct labeled on the plan as to type. Department: Light & Power Topic: Electric Number: 1 [1/25/10] No comments from Light & Power.

Box 1889 Fort Collins, CO 80522-1889 Staff has reviewed your submittal for NEW PROSPECT PDP - TYPE I, and we offer the following comments: ISSUES: Department: Engineering Issue Contact: Susan Joy Topic: General Number: 31 Created: 2/9/2010 [2/9/10] A public street and a private drive can not be named the same thing (Ellis Drive). Please rename the private drive. Number: 35 Created: 2/9/2010 [2/9/10] LCUASS 16.3.1.A.2 requires that all T-Intersections shall have a minimum of 3 access ramps in accordance with Figure 16-2. 1 will take this project to Transportation Coordination this Thursday to see if this is appropriate in this particular area. Number: 38 Created: 2/9/2010 [2/9/10] Proposed sidewalks along Ellis must connect into the existing sidewalks. In other words, no gap can be left between the two systems. It also appears that the existing Apex Drive was not constructed to the property line and this development is responsible for tying into the existing improvements. Please show the approximate removals and street cuts required to tie the two sections of street together. Number: 40 Created: 2/10/2010 [2/10/10] Please show the Limits of Development, all plan sets. Number: 48 Created: 2/10/2010 [2/10/10] Please show all driveway locations in addition to the utilites for the homes located off the private drive so that we can determine how and if everything will fit. Several of the lots are less than 50' and if trees are required by Zoning, then there may be an issue. All driveway locations will need to be dimensioned off the property line so that in the future, they are constructed in the exact location approved. Number: 55 Created: 2/10/2010 (2/10/10] Please remove the utility easements shown in the public row at the intersection of Prospect and Ellis as we do not grant easements on City property or row. Number: 56 Created: 2/10/2010 [2/10/10] No structures of any kind are allowed in utility easements including overhangs, footings, fireplaces, etc. Lots 2 and 17 are showing the utility easement placed over the lot lines (which is fine) but need to place a note on the plan sets indicating this restriction so that future homeowners and builders have no misunderstanding.
