5. A note has been added to the Plat, Site Plan and Landscape Plan describing the
allowable activities within the Mail Creek Buffer zone.
6. After discussion with City Staff, it has been agreed that an open rail fence along the

Storm Water / Water / Wastewater: Wes Lamarque
Number 45: The easement document is being prepared and forwarded to the
Fairway Estates Property Owners Association. The rip rap basin and
the drain pipe leading to it have been moved closer to Mail Creek.
Moving the discharge point closer to Mail Creek is expected to reduce
the chance of erosion occurring further up the embankment.
Number 56: The concrete ditch is being removed from the subject property as part
of this project and being replaced with a grassy swale.
Number 57: The water quality outlet structure detail has bee replaced with the City's
standard water quality outlet structure detail.
Number 58: Redline comments found on the plans have been addressed and
drawings revised accordingly.
Responses to Current Planning Comments: Ted Shepard
Site lighting has been revised to reduce illumination levels and minimize spillage on
to neighboring properties and the Mail Creek Buffer zone. However, the foot candles
along the east property line near the pole mounted light remain slightly above the
recommended .01 level. This fixture does, in fact, have internal house side shields.
Installing an external shield may drop the light levels, but there is no photometric data
available to indicate results. The coniferous trees proposed to be planted along the
property line near this fixture should help shield light splillage on to the neighboring
property.
2. Additional plantings arranged in informal groupings have been added to the south
one-third of the site. Varieties include American Plum, Golden Currant and Showy
Milkweed. Not only will these mitigate views from Mail Creek, but will enhance the
ecological character of the natural habitat and provide year-round color. A second
layer of plants (Blauuw Juniper) has been added at the south perimeter of the drive to
provide additional screening from the natural habitat area of Mail Creek. It will also
provide more diversity of planting materials.
3. A fourth street tree has been added along Harmony Road. The trees have been
located to maintain a minimum distance of 10'-0" from district utilities (water line).

to start of construction.
Poudre Fire Authority: Carie Dann
Number 54: The response given on our letter dated 4/18/2007 explaining that the
sprinkler system will be supplied by a 4" fire -service was incorrect and
may be the cause of some confusion regarding this comment. The
system will be supplied by a 6" line and is shown on Sheet C3.10. The
building will be sprinklered to NFPA 13 standards and will be subject to
inspection at the time of installation. It will be a design/build system
and a deferred document submittal will be made that includes hydraulic
calculations.
