The code requires a 15' miniumum front setback. The proposed 10' setback will require a modifica- tion. The 'Typical Lot' details on the same sheet show similar non -complying setbacks for other lots. See Current Planning comment #1. This issue has been resolved. Comment Number: 2 Comment Originated: 07/27/2012 Note #19 on site plan sheet 1 of 5 is confusing. It states that lots 1-25 can be duplexes or de- tached single family, but goes on to state that there can be only one unit per lot. I assume the term °unit" means dwelling unit, and if so, that means there can't be any duplexes on those lots since that would be 2 units on a lot. If by 'unit' they mean 'building', then that's the term they should use instead. If 'unit' means 'building', then Note #20 becomes confusing in that it would mean that 2 single-family dwellings could be on lot 26 and on lot 27. This note has been corrected to be less confusing. Thank you for your time spent in reviewing these plans. If you have any further questions, please feel fiw to contact any of the team members.

Comment Number: 6 Comment Originated: 08/17/2012 In addition to the previous comment, on the plat, there needs to be a Tract created to designate the Sprocket Drive and Ellis Street loop (with then dedication of permanent easements to the City for utility, drainage, access, and emergency access easement). Currently the plat appears to show these as public right-of-way, dedicated to the City, which would be problematic. This has been provided.

If so, I did not receive a copy with this submittal. All variances listed were approved with the PDP/ hearing for the project. Topic: General Comment Number: 2 Comment Originated: 08/17/2012 Can the possibility be explored of widening Ellis Street out to 36 feet in width approaching Pros- pect Road? The wider width would help create an approach onto Prospect Road that would bet- ter allow a three lane cross-section to function (with right -in, left -out, and right -out maneu- vers). The intent would be that the 36 feet would extend for a short distance past the intersec- tion such that vehicles at the intersection We've had the 30 feet local street cross section wid- ened out to 36 feet or larger at arterial intersections in development such as Pinnacle Town - homes (with Robertson Street at 39 feet), Lemay Avenue Estates, Sidehill and Observatory Vil- lage. It appears that since additional right-of-way occurs on the west side of Ellis Street, it may not be as impactive to accommodate this widening. This was explored, but required cutting beyond our project limits, as well as affecting landscap- ing and other offsite improvements being required to make this work. The Client declined to in- corporate this into the plan due to offsite improvements that would be required and the trickle down of changes that would be required. Comment Number: 4 Comment Originated: 08/17/2012 Please provide access ramps that allow for a crossing for the Ellis Street/Apex Drive street turn (no striped crosswalk), perhaps this could occur with the extension of the trail from Tract C out to this street turn (realizing that it appears an electric transformer may be planned for this area, which may be of concern).

The restriction on this lot should be stated clearly in note D under Design Guidelines. It was agreed to limit the western portion to a story and a half garage. Not D has been changed to reflect this. Comment Number: 2 Comment Originated: 08/23/2012 With regard to the comment from Zoning regarding the front setbacks, please note that I have discussed this with Peter Barnes and we agree that Section 3.5.2(D)(2)(a) supersedes the re- quirement for a 15 foot minimum front setback. This is because Lots 18 - 25 will be served by a private drive. In order to avoid confusion in the future, please clearly label, on both the site plan and plat, the segments of roadway that are private drives. This has been completed Department: Engineering Development Review Contact: Marc Vista, 970-221-6567, mvirata fcaov.com Topic: Construction Drawings Comment Number: 3 Comment Originated: 08117/20120 The drive approaches for the two private drives intersecting the south side of Ellis Street and Apex Drive appear to be built as a standard street intersection as. evident by the reference of LCUASS detail 708. These drive approaches need to be concrete to the property line and be built with the Standard Drive Approach (LCUASS Detail 707). Note #3 on Sheet C-010 does indicate the use of concrete to the right-of-way, but combining this with 708 instead of 707 seems confusing. New Prospect Response to Comments 10.5.12 Page 1
