The District will provide additional comments with the submittal and review of the final construction drawings. Please do not hesitate to contact me at 226-3104, ext. 104, if you have any questions or require additional information. Respectfully, Mr. terry W. Famll, P.E. District Engineer xc: Mr. Michael D. DiTullio, District Manager Mr. Anthony Willkomm, Stantec Inc. 5150 Snead Drive, Fort Collins, CO 80525 Phone (970) 226-3104 Fax (970) 226-0186 Department: Stormwater-Water-Wastewater Issue Contact: Wes Lamarque Topic: Stormwater Number: 21 Created: 8/22/2008 [8/22/08] Several of the storm sewers that are routing street(public) water are being placed in the street and then onto private property. A determination needs to be made on who maintains the storm sewers on private property and on placement of these storm lines in the best location possible for future maintenance and/or replacement. The City does maintain storm sewers on private property within a drainage easement dedicated to the City, although the City may not want to maintain storm sewers that are in the proximity of site improvements or landscaping that may be costly to remove if required to when maintenance is needed. Number: 22 Created: 8/22/2008 [8/22/08] Please clarify in the text of the drainage report that the 5th filing, with some of the sub -basin changes, is still meeting the ODP drainage master plan and give the total release for all the outfalls of the site and the site overall. Department: Stormwater-Water-Wastewater Issue Contact: Roger Buffington Topic: Water Number: 4 Created: 8/15/2008 [8/15/08] The submittal as received is adequate for going to hearing. A detailed review will be done at final compliance. Number: 5 Created: 8/15/2008 [8/15/08] See redlined plans for other comments. Be sure and return all of your redlined plans when you re -submit. If you have any questions regarding these issues or any other issues related to this project, please feel free to call me at (970) 221-6750. Sincerely: Tom.( Ted Shepard City Planner Page 4 Department: Light & Power Issue Contact: Doug Martine Topic: Light & Power Number: 1 Created: 8/4/2008 [8/4/08] The developer will need to coordinate electric development charges and installation of the electric utility facilities with Light & Power Engineering. Number: 3 Created: 8/4/2008 [8/4/08] At the developer's option, street lighting on the private drive may be installed by Light & Power. The developer would pay the cost of installation, plus a contract will need to be signed agreeing to pay the monthly energy and maintenance costs. Topic: Utility Plan Number: 2 Created: 8/4/2008 [8/4/08] A landscape plan, showing planned streetlights was sent to BHA Design on 8-04- 08. The planned streetlights will need to be shown on the landscape plan, and street tree locations adjusted to provide a minimum of 40 feet clearance between lights and trees (15 feet if the tree is an ornamental). Department: PFA Issue Contact: Carle Dann Topic: Fire Number: 24 Created: 8/25/2008 [8/25/08] PFA has no comments or concerns pertaining to the realignment of Timberwood. Department: Traffic Operations Issue Contact: Ward Stanford Topic: Traffic Number: 25 Created: 8/26/2008 [8/26/08] Due to an internal routing error, Traffic Operations did not receive the Roundabout Design Report from ELB Engineering. This error has been corrected and Traffic Operations is now reviewing this document. Comments on the roundabout design and data submitted to support design are forthcoming. Number: 26 Created: 8/26/2008 [8/26/08] South median at Tech Parkway and the private drive needs width adjustments. Southbound through lane does not align fully. Number: 27 Created: 8/26/2008 [8/26/08] South median design needs better northbound left turn bay design, including bay taper, transition, etc. Current design seems to fade into the turn bay which does not give good visual cue to approaching motorists of street configuration changes. Number: 28 Created: 8/26/2008 [8/26/08] Please provide horizontal and vertical dimensions for the roundabout and surrounding street area. Page 3 Number: 12 Created: 8/20/2008 [8/20/08] The roundabout appears to measure out larger than the roundabout within Front Range Village, I'm curious to know if the additional width is needed. From a volume perspective, I'd assume less trips will occur here than through Front Range Village. (After conversation at staff review I will defer to traffic engineering for geometric design of the roundabout, though please provide turning template information as further information regarding the design). ` Number: 13 Created: 8/20/2008 [8/20108] Please ensure limits are clearly indicated as to what the project is building verses what has already been built and/or approved with Tech Park 3rd and 4th. Number: 15 Created: 8/20/2008 [8/20/08] The 4th Filing would need to record prior to this plat recording. Likewise,old Timberwood right-of-way would need to be vacated prior to this plat recording. Number: 16 Created: 8/22/2008 [8/22/08] Technical Services has provided the following comments: 1. Boundary and legal descriptions close, though several typos and reception numbers do not match. 2. Lady Moon Drive (not Ave.) (& not Cambridge) for the north south street. 3. Preliminary plat looks good. 4. Several reception numbers missing (left blank) on plat. Number: 17 Created: 8/22/2008 [8/22/08] Please note that Engineering has now begun the process of recording development agreements at the County. We will be requiring the development agreement for this project to be recorded at the County and recording fees will be assessed to the Developer. Number: 18 Created: 8/22/2008 [8/22/08] The development agreement for the 2nd Filing of Harmony Technology Park specified the site contributing towards the cost of its pro -rate share towards the construction of an additional left turn lane from southbound Ziegler to eastbound Harmony. With the H- Zip project recently constructing this, the City will be finalizing costs to breakdown responsibilities towards this construction between various development, including Harmony Technology Park. City Street Oversizing (Matt Baker) will look to finalize the project's responsibility within the week. Number: 19 Created: 8/22/2008 [8/22/08] On the plat, please remove "pedestrian" in instances where "pedestrian access" is shown. Access easement suffices. Number: 23 Created: 8/22/2008 [8/22/08] In verification with the City's Pavement Management Engineer, should the developer elect to build concrete streets, street cuts within a 5 year period that would normally incur street cut penalty fees (for asphalt) would not be assessed (provided street cuts were replaced with concrete pavement from joint to joint). Street cut fees would still be assessed in accordance to our excavation permit standards based on patching size, but no penalty fees would be levied. Page 2 iaSTAFF PROJECT REVIEW City of Fort Collins BHA Design, Inc. Date: 8/27/2008 1603 Oakridge Dr. Fort Collins, CO 80525 Staff has reviewed your submittal for HARMONY TECHNOLOGY PARK 5TH FILING - TYPE 1, and we offer the following comments: ISSUES: Department: Engineering Issue Contact: Marc Virata Topic: Engineering Number: 6 Created: 8/19/2008 [8/19/08] The west leg of the roundabout intersection may or may not be developed as a public street (Timberwood) depending upon the proposed development. Please reduce the amount of right-of-way being dedicated for the west leg of Timberwood to the back of the crosswalk. Also does this west leg need to be built at this time west of the crosswalk? Number: 7 Created: 8/19/2008 [8/19/08] There are several instances of utility crossings that are shallow as shown on the centerline profiles (which would be more problematic in the flowline). The lack of cover over the utility crossings of the public streets needs to be addressed. Perhaps concrete streets should be looked at. Number: 8 Created: 8/19/2008 [8/19/08] Does the median on Technology Parkway south of the private drive seem slightly too wide? It seems to create some deflection for through movements. Number: 9 Created: 8/19/2008 [8/19/08] The TDR fee was apparently not correctly calculated. The Engineering Development Review Manager calculates an additional $13,029.75 required. (The assumed $800 amount is for vacating right-of-way, not for a PDP). Number: 10 Created: 8/19/2008 [8/19/08] Similar to the 4th Filing, local street portion costs for Harmony Road will be needed in lieu of the design and construction of Harmony Road with the project. Note the comment below taken from the 4th Filing: "[7/15/08] As a heads -up Engineering staff has begun the process to coordinate the elements of analyzing local street portion obligations for Harmony Road as well as design costs for Harmony Road which would be funded by the applicant for the property's frontage along Harmony Road." Number: 11 Created: 8/19/2008 [8/19/08] There appears to be offsite easements required from Harmony Technology Park 1 st Filing. A letter of intent from this property owner is required prior to a hearing for this project. Page 1
