04/11/2013: The site data table on Sheet 1 contains incorrect parking information. There are
208 parking spaces required for Tract A per the code (7 of which need to be HC), but the table
states that 175 spaces are required. Additionally, there are a total of 282 spaces required for
both Tracts, but there are only 253 total provided. So an additional 29 spaces need to be
provided - unless the garage parking spaces indicated aren't included in the 'parking provided'
numbers. If they aren't currently included, then the 'parking provided' numbers need to be

04/30/2013: Carryover comment from conceptual review:
STRUCTURES EXCEEDING 30' (OR THREE OR MORE STORIES) IN HEIGHT
In order to accommodate aerial fire apparatus access, required fire lanes shall be 30 foot wide
minimum on at least one long side of the building. At least one of the required access routes
meeting this condition shall be located within a minimum of 15 feet and a MAXIMUM OF 30
FEET FROM THE BUILDING, and shall be positioned parallel to one entire side of the building.
2006 International Fire Code Appendix D; Poudre Fire Authority Administrative Policy 85-5
It appears the three, 3-story buildings are positioned so that their setbacks from the fire lane
exceed the maximum distance allowed by the 2006 IFC. The aerial apparatus access
requirement may be offset by installing a full NFPA13 fire sprinkler system (rather than a 13R
system).
3-story buildings are moved to provide for a 30' maximum distance from the fire lanes to meet fire protection
standards.
The fire lanes that front the 3-story buildings are now 30' wide — Flow -Line to Flow -Line
A paved access drive is shown on the north side of the site across from Woodrow.

05/03/2013: SECONDARY ACCESS POINT
Several discussion points arose during our development review meeting on 5/1113 relative to
the secondary access point proposed off of Triangle Drive. The questions were: Shall the
secondary access be required? Are grass pavers acceptable? May bollards be installed to
prohibit unauthorized traffic on the EAE.
I have since met with Assistant Fire Marshal Ron Gonzales to discuss these issues and have
summarized the details here. Please contact me if you have questions or require further
forth in their note ,_od out updated plat language indicated in L. _ previous comment has similar
restriction language). If the easements identified as "U" on the plat were intended to only be
dedicated to FCLWD/SFCSD, the City should still have easements for these areas as well for
City and other franchise utilities. If ultimately easements are intended to be dedicated to
FCLWD/SFCSD, it would seem that they need to sign the plat signifying their acceptance.

easements per the requirements in Figure 7-16 of the street standards. The amount of sight
distance is estimated in some regards with Avondale Road not designed to the east but does
appear to conflict with building placement. It should be noted that AASHTO has provided newer
criteria regarding sight distance that has resulted in the City accepting variances to the values
specified in Figure 7-16 resulting in typically a smaller required easement. The consultant team worked
with Matt Delich, Traffic Engineer, using ASHTO Standards instead of LCUAS Standards. An exhibit and letter is included with this

05101/2013: The subdivision plat has a note regarding conveying easements specific to Fort
Collins/Loveland Water District & South Fort Collins Sanitation District while the City's certificate
of dedication statement indicates that the undersigned is conveying streets and easements laid
out and designated on the plat. Since both entities have statements regarding the dedication of
easements, it may call into question what are the easements being granted to City vs.
easement being granted to FCLWD/SFCSD. Granting specific easements to FCLWD/SFCSD
isn't a concern from my standpoint, though I'm wondering since their facilities are located in
areas that are labeled as U, D & EAE, it may be open to interpretation as to whether the U, D &
EAEs are being conveyed to the City, FCLWD/SFCSD, or both. Perhaps each easement
needs to be identified as to whom it is being dedicated to in order to leave out any ambiguity
and on top of the U, D & EAE is also easements specifically for FCLWD/SFCSD. Or if
acceptable to FCLWD/SFCSD, their statement might not have easements dedicated to them but
rather indication that the utility easements conveyed to the City are subject to restrictions set

05/01/2013: The design of the temporary turnaround does not provide sidewalk across the
turnaround, which would need to have funds provided in lieu of its construction. Instead of
needing to administer funds for the sidewalk for future development to construct, the project
should instead build the sidewalk across the turnaround at this time. The driveover curb built
today could remain in place and would not be required to be removed and replaced with
vertical curb at the time of the extension of Avondale and the removal of the turnaround.
Transitioning should be indicated and specified from the drive approach for the driveway to the
driveover curb at the west end of the turnaround and then transitioning should also be indicated
and specified from the driveover curb to the vertical curb at the east end of the turnaround.
Note that the use of curb to define the eastern boundary of the turnaround including the curb
within the parkway strip isn't necessarily needed. The turnaround can be paved including the
area between the sidewalk and the curb though for an example of this design and construction
that doesn't utilize pavement, consider Apex Drive terminating at the west of the Pinnacle
Townhomes Subdivision (south side of Prospect, west of Lemay), subject to approval by PFA.
With the future extension of Avondale Road to the east by future development, the
responsibility of then removing the turnaround and the installation of landscaping and trees in
the parkway strip will be that of the property owner/HOA and not the future developer that
extends Avondale. It is suggested that a design for the elimination of the temporary turnaround
with the extension of the Avondale to east be provided at this time in order to have a design
established for the property owner/HOA to plan and budget for and also to not require a minor
amendment of the development plan in the future for when the turnaround is removed.

05/01/2013: The developer will need to provide funds for the extension of Avondale Road that
is not being built to the property line. The identification of the limits proposed to be constructed
at this time should be clearly identified throughout the construction plans (not just on the grading
plan sheet) in order to have a basis of understanding of what the extent of the limits are and to
demonstrate that the proposed construction limits can be built without requiring offsite
easements. If the water and sewer extensions with the extension of Avondale Road require
cutting into portions of Avondale Road being built with the project, that removal area would
need to be expanded and have funds provided for as well. The City has adopted a local street
portion cost for frontage of $204 per linear foot for this year (which is subject to change if
payment is provided next year). The $204 amount (if paid this year) is for one side of a local
street and since both sides are needing to be extended with future development, the amount is
essentially doubled. If sidewalk is being built at this time that are abutting portions of Avondale
Roadway that are to be built in the future, the $204 per foot amount is reduced by $35 as the
$204 amount also includes sidewalk.

05/01/2013: The extension of Avondale Road appears to depict a temporary turnaround on the

temporary turnaround on the site, landscape, and construction plans. The plat needs to add
access easement to the emergency access easement designation as the temporary
turnaround is not just intended for emergency services but for general public use. The
construction plans show the use of vertical curb across the turnaround and would need to be

the slope of this connection, an ADA compliant walk is not feasible.

05/03/2013: Along the south and west property lines, be sure that buffer yards are carefully
landscaped so that plant materials are matched to the grade to maximize effective screening.
Where there is more exposure to the south and west, clusters of evergreen trees should be emphasized
versus deciduous trees.

05/03/2013: On Lighting sheet E3P, be sure to specify the selection of the pole -mounted
fixture. Note that high pressure sodium is more energy conserving than metal halide. And.
high pressure sodium would match the public roadway lighting. Metal halide may be not be
appropriate in a residential neighborhood.
correlated to the ,...,iimum number of spaces per unit (1.5, 1.7, _od 2.0). Then compare this

05/03/2013: On Site Plan sheet 2 of 4, please consider re -designing the second point of
access for P.F.A. by downsizing the easement to a bike and pedestrian access only. If left as
a drive aisle that is blocked by bollards, then it will, over time, evolve into a vehicle use area
or storage for boats, trailers, or vehicles under repair. Better to re -design it now so that it will
take on a life as a connecting walkway than an unused hard surface area. A five foot wide
walkway with landscaping would match the others. DK-P.F.A Easement was changed to a 24' wide entry
dive with a 6' wide walk on the north side.

05/03/2013: Site Plan sheet 2 of 4 should indicate what are the existing and / or proposed land
uses to the east. What is the purpose of Tract C of Shenandoah? What is the zoning and
potential land use for Shenandoah area south of Tract C? Is there a Shenandoah Master Plan
that can be referenced? This would factor into how best to provide buffering along this property
line. This will be provided prior to — and in conjunction with the Public Hearing.

05/03/2013: There is a narrowing of the buffer yard along the south property line where the
width is reduced to 20 feet. Per Section 3.8.30(F)(1), the minimum width must be 25 feet. It
appears that five feet can be gained from the drive aisle which does not need to be 30 feet
since the 30 E.A.E. is already provided on the north side of the building. And, a single -loaded
parking bay needs only a 20-foot wide drive aisle. DK-Provided 25' wide buffer yard by reducing the south
drive to 20' width.

05/03/2013: The back -out space at the end of three parking bays looks like they need more
depth in order for the proper maneuvering of vehicles moving in reverse. DK — The (3) dead-end parking
back -out spaces have been increased in depth to 9' min. (the width of an adjacent parking space).

the comments that remain incomplete are minor in nature and can be addressed completely during future submittals (Final
Compliance). This submittal includes the following documents:
1. Corrected Site Plan that shows the following:
a. 3-story buildings are moved to provide for a 30' maximum distance from the fire lanes to meet fire
protection standards.
b. The fire lanes that front the 3-story buildings are now 30' wide — Flow -Line to Flow -Line
c. A paved access drive is shown on the north side of the site across from Woodrow.
d. The Title sheet shows corrected parking and bicycle statistics.
e. A soft -surface trail is shown on tract Z.
f. A 25-foot buffer yard is shown along the south property line.
2. A Sight -Distance Triangle exhibit is provided along Triangle Drive, along with a request for modification of
standards.
3. A PID Exhibit and data table to demonstrate compliance with the code requirements.
