Response: A. This filing will show all ponds. There will be one small pond
outside the platted boundary. This will not be constructed to ultimate size
since the area to the west is not master planned or platted at this time.
B. In general the design of this site must conform to the drainage basin design
of the McClellands Creek Master Drainage Plan as well the City's Design
Criteria and Construction standards.
Response: Noted.

C. The city wide new development fee is $4,420/acre ($0.1015/sq.ft.) for new
imperviousness over 350 square feet. No fee is charged for existing
impervious area. This fee is to be paid at the time each building permit is
issued.
Response: Noted.
D. Onsite detention is required. In this part of the McClellands drainage
basin, the release rate is 0.2 cfs/ac for the 10 year storm and 0.5 cfs/ac
for the 100 year storm. Water quality treatment is required as described in
the Urban Storm Drainage Criteria Manual, Volume 3 — Best Management
Practices (BMPs). Extended detention is the usual method selected for water
quality treatment. For further information, please contact Glen Schlueter,
221-6700.
Response: Noted and used.
12. The proposed round -about should be addressed in the Transportation Impact
Study. There is some flexibility in the design. Please refer to the Street
Standards Appendix One.
Response: Included in the TIS by Matt Delich.
13. The vacation of a segment of Timberwood Drive will follow the Replat that
dedicates new right-of-way. This process requires a hearing by the Planning
and Zoning Board first, followed by two readings by City Council. The
Transportation Development Review Fee is $800.00. For Final Compliance,
the Replat would reflect the vacated portion and dedicate the new portion.
Please note that at the public hearing for the P.D.P., Engineering will add a
Condition of Approval that the vacation follows all required procedures.
Response: Noted.
14. Please note that it appears most private drives will also need to be platted as
Emergency Access Easements for Poudre Fire Authority. In addition, they may
also need to be platted as Public Access Easements, and, if applicable, Utility
Easements.
Response: Plat includes an Emergency Access Easement on the private
drive and will be dedicated as a Tract to include drainage and utility easement.
15. Please check with Matt Baker, 221-6605, Street Oversizing Fund
Administrator, regarding any repays that may be due for improvements to the
Harmony Road and Ziegler Road, including the intersection.

A. The drainage plan for this site is being revised as requested for the 4"
Filing PDP presently being processed. Please refer to the latest round of
comments for that project. One suggestion is to add all the detention
areas to the site plans so it is clear where detention is being provided. The
site plan submitted only shows the large one in the center of the project.

Exception to the General Office Parking Standard which allow for the maximum
number of parking spaces to be determined on a customized basis for the
particular needs of a specific end -user. Response: Noted. Final lot sizes and
parking configurations will be determined at a later date by separate process
as lots develop.
4. In accordance with The Harmony Corridor Plan, anfoot setback from
Harmony Road, as measured from the future edgee off pavement, must be
provided. This area can platted as a separate tract, and maintained by an
association or included in individual lots to be maintained by the lot owner.
Response: The landscape set -back is at least 80' wide and is provided on the
plat as an easement and will be part of the lot.
5. The site will continue to be served electrical power by the City of Fort Collins.
Existing system is installed along the south side of Harmony Road and along
Lady Moon Drive. System will be installed along Precision Drive in conjunction
with the development of the Third Filing (Custom Blending). There is no systerr
in Technology Parkway. Street lights, with proper separation from street trees,
will have to be designed along all public streets. As you are aware, Light and
Power does not provide street lighting for internal private drives.
Normal development charges will apply for all end -users. Where multiple
buildings are located in close proximity, a shared transformer may be the most
efficient. Any change to the existing system will be at the developer's expense.
For further information regarding electrical service, please call Rob Irish, 221-
6700.
Response: Lighting is anticipated for public and private, signs and irrigation
system. Services lines are expected to be needed in public easements to
provide service for future lots.
The site will be served by the Poudre Fire Authority. Hydrant spacing and water
flow must meet minimum requirements based on type of occupancy. Minimum
flow and spacing requirements for commercial is 1,500 gpm at 20 psi residual
pressure, spaced not further than 300 feet to the building, on 600-foot centers
thereafter. These requirements may be modified if buildings are equipped with
automatic fire sprinkler systems.
Response: Noted.
For buildings with fire sprinklers, standpipes and fire pumps must meet
minimum requirements. For example, buildings four or more stories in height
are required to be equipped with firefighting standpipes in every stairwell. The
standpipe system must be capable of supplying a minimum 100 psi to the top
floor; an approved fire pump may be required to obtain this minimum
pressure.
Response: No buildings with this plan.
8. The fire department connection shall be installed remote from the buildings,
and located on the street or fire lane side of buildings, fully visible and

RE: Harmony Technology Park 5" Filing Infrastructure
Dear Ted,
We are pleased to submit the Project Development Plan and Subdivision Plat
documents for your review for the Custom Blending project in Harmony Technology
Park. The following are responses to the Conceptual Review comments from our
meeting held on May 5, 2008:
COMMENTS:
The site is zoned H-C, Harmony Corridor, and within the Basic Industrial Non -
retail Employment Activity Center sub -area of the Harmony Corridor Plan. This
sub -area permits a mix of office and light industrial uses as primary uses and
allows up to 25% secondary uses. The Harmony Technology Park O.D.P.,
Third Amendment was approved by the Planning and Zoning Board on March
20, 2008.
Response: Noted.
Since no buildings are proposed, the Replotting and Utility Plans would be
processed as an Administrative (Type One) review. Response: Noted.
In the course of determining the optimum parcel size for future office buildings
or mixed -use buildings, keep in mind that parking is generally regulated such
that a development cannot exceed a maximum amount of spaces. For general
office, the maximum is no more than three spaces per 1,000 square feet of
gross floor area, or .75 space per employee on the largest shift, or 4.5 spaces
per 1,000 square feet if all additional parking spaces gained by the increased
ratio (over 3/1,000 sq. ft.) are contained within a parking garage/structure.
For sites that do not have the ability to park along a public street, or where
there is no opportunity for shared parking, the number of spaces may be
increased by 20%. Please note that for labor intensive uses, such as call
centers, applicants may avail themselves of the Alternative Compliance or
