Noted. Coordination with the PFA will be coordinated once the pressure is known,
and the fire line will be sized adequately to meet PFA standards.

building (i.e. commercail and residential).
Maintain the required landscape/utility separation distances on the landscape plans.

Corrected, trees and shrubs have been moved appropriate distance from water and

[51111041 Landscaping is only being shown around a portion of the parking lot perimeter,
please not the rest and call out the plants and counts.
Corrected, plant counts are shown on the plan and in the plant legend. A portion of
the west perimeter has a concrete drain pan, and it is not feasible to provide planting
in this area. A privacy fence will be installed along the west property boundry.
Comments From Current Planning
1. Staff is concerned about the entrance and compliance with Section 4.24(D)(1)(a). This
standard calls for doorways to face the street at grade level or slightly elevated. In order to
mitigate the fact the entrance is below grade, please explore design treatments that would
make this entrance more prominent and visible to Prospect Road.
Z See redline Preliminary Site Plan regarding adding more explanatory notes describing
the size and location of the resident common area and the mixed -use area.
Corrected, refer to site plan.
3. Is the emergency access through Hi -Lan Apartments restricted to emergency access
only? Please explain on the plans how the bicycles and pedestrians are allowed access but
cars are restricted. Will there be a gate, bollards or chain? If cars are not restricted, then it
would be helpful to see the diagram of the Hi -Lan parking lot.
Corrected, refer to site plan. Residents of the 808 W. Prospect project will be allowed
to cross the Hi -Lan apartments as pedestrians, or walking their bicycles to access
Lake St. and on to the CSU Campus. Vehicles will not be allowed to travel to Lake
Street. An emergency access gate will be installed between the two properties.
Please see redline comments on the architectural elevations.

[2122105] How does the applicant propose to meet Bicycle/Pedestrian LOS standards with
this new access design off of Lake St? It would appear that the favorable finding in the TI S
(which states the LOS for both modes to be 'B" or better for the CSU destination area)
needs to be revisited with this change.
Corrected, see comment above, no 63. A letter with full explanation has also been
submited
[21281051 Follow up comment: a project came into Conceptual Review this morning for the
parcel immediately east of this project. It is suggested that this applicant explore solving the
bike/ped/vehicular access puzzle for this site with the parties to the east.
The developer of this project has not yet secured access to Lake Street to date, and is
not working with this project.

[8151041 The ramp on the west side of the driveway needs to meet the detail below. Please
revise.
[516104] See detail 707 for the correct construction of the driveway. The driveway radii

[2/23/051 The 8-inch outlet pipe is smaller than the minimum of 15-inches allowed.
Clogging of this small pipe is likely over a short amount of time. A discussion needs to take

[2121105] The easements are shown differently on the plat and site plan and utility plans
still. The EAE is required to be 30' wide for servicing buildings that are 3 or more stories tall.
The drive aisle provided on the north side of the building is 30' wide, but the easement within
it is only 20'. Please check with PFA to ensure that the drive aisle along the west side of the
building doesn't need to be 30' wide as well. The new offsite EAE needs to meet the
minimum radius requirements on the curves (25' interior, 50' exterior) unless specific
approval is gotten from PFA for the smaller curves.
Corrected, PFA has reviewed the site plan and has accepted what is shown.
[84VO4] Please match the emergency access easement shown on the plat/utility plans/site
and landscape plans.

Topic: Transportation
Number.63 Created. 512112004
(2/21/05] How will this project meet its bike and ped LOS standards now that the bike/ped
path to Lake Street is gone?
Pedestrians and bicyclist will be allowed to access Lake Street through the Hi -Lan
apartment site. A letter from the Hi -Lan owner / management will provide details of
the agreement between the property owners to this affect.
[8151041 Revised comment (David Averill, Transportation Planning): If the proposed drive
out to Lake Street is to have bollards on both ends and is to be restricted to emergency use
only, then the paved section of that drive (minimum 8' wide) could double as the required
ped/bike path out to Lake Street.
[51211041 Comment From Tom Reiff. [5119104] According to the applicant's planning
objectives, the path out to Lake Street will serve as a connection for bikes and pedestrians
from the proposed development to CSU. To safely accommodate both bikes and peds and
to meet the City's design standards the path needs to be a minimum 8 feet in width (LUC
3.6.3 & 3.2.2).

[815104] See comment #63.
[5121104] Comment from Tom Reiff.[5/19/04] The submitted TiS is incorrect in stating that
there are no bicycle destinations within a quarter mile. According to the City's Level of
Service (LOS) Manual, public schools are considered a destination which includes CSU.
Since there are no on -street bike lanes connected to this site to satisfy the LOS, it would be
acceptable to allow the proposed path connection to Lake Street and its bike lanes to satisfy
