05/19/2012: The Drake Rd access does not meet City standards which are based on the
outdated 1990 AASHTO standards. The access looks to meet or very nearly meet the current
AASHTO (2004) standards. The City should consider revising its standards to the current
AASHTO standards. Until that is done though this project will need to submit for a variance to
the City sight distance standards.
Response: An Administrative LCUASS Engineering Variance Request Letter has been prepared by Delich Associates.

05/08/2012: Typically, buildings with more than 18 units would have a 2" domestic water
service. In Fort Collins, residential development fees are based upon lot/site area and number
of living units; therefore, a 2"service for the larger buildings will not affect the development
fees.
Response: Water meter sizing calculations will be provided by the mechanical/plumbing engineer during Final Design. The Utility
Plan layout should remain valid since both 1%" and 2" water meters use the same size pit.

05/09/2012: LCUASS Figure 7-16 specifies the amount of sight distance easement required at
intersections. The required sight distance along Drake Road based upon the 50 mph design
speed is 1030 feet. Adherence to this requirement would require offsite easement from the
homeowner at the southwest corner of Dorado Court and Drake Road (with the house appearing
to be partially in the easement) and an offsite easement from the property owner(s) of
Parkwood Lake. The actual existing sight distance easements are less than the standard due to
existing landscaping, and berming. The existing sight distance easements should be
documented and compared against the standard through a variance request for evaluation of
the impact resulting from non -adherence to this provision, any concerns as a result, and how
those concerns may need to potentially be mitigated.
Response: An Administrative LCUASS Engineering Variance Request Letter has been prepared by Delich Associates. The
corresponding sight distance easements are shown on the 0611312012 submittal documents.

along the eastern edge. Section 3.5.1(H) calls for effective use of buffer yards in order to allow
dissimilar uses next to each other.
Response: The proposed design aims to achieve a similar effect by partially burying (berming against the foundation) the eastern
edges of the garages. Not only does this lower the perceived height of the garage ends and facilitate planting for additional
screening, but it also allows an interceptor swale to be graded in to ensure runoff does not encroach onto neighboring properties.

05/19/2012: Based on the above, the site plan would benefit by clearly labeling the building
entrances. In general, entrances need to connect to the walkway system and the tandem
spaces should be re-evaluated as they appear to disrupt the walkways.
Response: The Site Plan now labels building entrances and the tandem parking spaces have been removed.

05/19/2012: The walkway in front of the clubhouse should be widened to eight to ten feet. This
is a highly visible destination and a six foot wide walk with vehicle overhang is really only a four
foot wide walk.
Response: The sidewalk has been widened — please see Site Plan.

05/19/2012: The north -south walkway, in the area on the east side of Building Three, should
feature raised crosswalks so that the pedestrian is more visible and on equal status, not
subordinate, to the driver.
Response: The crosswalk will be raised where it crosses the 30' drive isle as called out on site plan.

05/19/2012: If the garages are to be leased separately, at a rate over and above the base unit
lease,. then they cannot be counted towards meeting the minimum required number of spaces.
[Section 3.2.2(K)(1)(a)].
Response: The garages will not be leased separately.

05/19/2012: The trash enclosures are located relatively close to the adjoining residents. If
these locations are to remain as indicated, then the pick up service must be restricted to
normal business hours to avoid disturbance. Per Section 3.5.1(J), these hours will need to be
specified and made a part of the P.D.P.
Response: The trash enclosures were modified (one enclosure moved further south from Building 2). The Owner will be hiring a
Valet Trash service (see attached). This is a great amenity for residents and ensures trash enclosures and the trash is properly
handled, deposited, and ready for collection. The Owner will restrict trash collection to normal business hours.

05/19/2012: Buildings 5,7 and 9 could be better connected to the street like private drive with a
major walkway spine versus a connecting walkway. The area of the lawn framed by Buildings 4
and 6 should be enhanced with the features of a major walkway spine.
Response: Major walkway spine has been added with trees & enhanced landscape — refer to Site Plan and Landscape Plan.

05/19/2012: For Buildings 5,7 and 9, access to the street like private drive is impeded by the
garage access to the tuck -under parking. For Buildings 6 and 7, the driveways to the garages
appear to be on the back side of the buildings. But, it is not clear if these buildings have
entrances on the north. For Buildings 8 and 9, these buildings have double frontage with
driveways and there appears to be no walkway along the south. The site plan indicates this
area is seven feet wide and the landscape plan indicates plant material, but no walkway? Are
there no building entrances along the south? If the only entrances to these buildings are on the
north, then opportunity for the tandem parking should be eliminated and replaced with a
