Comments from Current Planning
1. Street tree selection should be made from the City Street Tree List as established
by the City Forester.
2. It appears that the bike rack is not located near the building entrance. If this door
along the east elevation is for employees only, then a bike rack should be added by
the main entrance along the north elevation as well.
3. On the Landscape Plan, please consider shifting or adding evergreen trees to
screen the future tanks from Rock Creek Drive.
4. Along Rock Creek Drive, keep in mind that ornamentals can be placed within 15
feet of a public street light.
5. Please add a note on Sheet Two of the Landscape Plan that indicate the
landscaping in the Drainage Tract shall be installed as part of the Certificate of
Occupancy for Lot Two.
6. Please add a note on the Site Plan regarding screening of roof top mechanical
equipment.
7. For an able-bodied visitor, there are only three parking spaces near the main
entrance. Otherwise, a visitor must park along the east side but there is no direct
walkway from these spaces to the front door, without having to use the public
sidewalk along Precision. A walkway connecting the entrance to the east side
parking should be provided.

either relocated to be a minimum of 40 ft. from the streetlight, or changed to an ornamental
type which has a minimum clearance of 15 ft.

[2/4/08] The nearest power is at Lady Moon Dr. A developer of the Harmony Technology
3rd filing will need to coordinate with Light &Power Engineering for the installation of electric
facilities and the electric development charges for this plat. This will bring high voltage
power to the corner of each lot. An ODP would be helpful in planning electric facilities to the
general area. The plat needs a north arrow and scale block.

[2/20/08] REQUIRED ACCESS: A fire lane is required. This fire lane shall be visible by
painting and signage, and maintained unobstructed at all times. A fire lane plan shall be
submitted for approval prior to installation. In addition to the design criteria already
contained in relevant standards and policies, any new fire lane must meet the following,
general requirements:
❑ Be designed as a flat, hard, all-weather driving surface (asphalt or concrete) capable of
supporting fire apparatus weights. Compacted road base shall be used only for temporary
fire lanes or at construction sites.
❑ Have appropriate maintenance agreements that are legally binding and enforceable.
❑ Be designated on the plat as an Emergency Access Easement.
❑ Maintain the required minimum width of 20 feet throughout the length of the fire lane.
If a fire lane cannot be provided, the building shall be fire sprinklered.
NOTE: When the structure is expanded in the future and the entire loop drive is paved, PFA
likely will require that the fire lane be "filled in" throughout the entire loop.

Pond B needs to be obligated for. Sidewalk along Technology Parkway and Rock Creek
Drive abutting Pond B would need to be escrowed for if not being built at this time. If a
repay was filed with the City for the construction of Rock Creek Drive, the frontage abutting
Pond B would also be required.

[2/19/081 The enhanced crosswalk shown on the south side of the Precision/Tech Parkway
intersection has some concerns. In checking with Traffic Operations, they wouldn't typically
install a crosswalk without access ramps and a sidewalk network on both sides to connect
to. Given that there's no sidewalk in the general area being proposed at this time, perhaps
crosswalk installation should at least be deferred. I've also had some further discussion with
Transportation Planning and Traffic and the consensus was that the location of the
crosswalk itself seems a bit odd as we're not seeing this area having a higher amount of
pedestrian traffic as compared to other intersections such as the north side of the Tech
Parkway/Rock Creek Drive intersection. What is driving the design for an enhanced
crosswalk in this location?
Number: 13 Created: 2/19/2008
[2/19/08] Please be aware that the additional width of Technology Parkway beyond the
standard collector width is not reimbursable through Street Oversizing. Is the median shown
on Technology Parkway intended to have landscaping? If so, we will look to have language
in the development agreement regarding maintenance responsibilities (which will not be the
City).
Number: 35 Created: 2/20/2008
[2/20/08] I'm understanding that entitlement will only occur for the Custom Blending lot and
that the remainder of the lots in the plat will be subject to their own project development
plans and associated development agreements.
