Increase maximum allowable amount of secondary uses Decrease the Harmony Road setback o Utilize the existing landscape buffer on the adjacent property to the South to satisfy the buffer requirements ir 14 AA y f� G•�+4�w y aqN/l.r Ciwr• H�r�i�+s CE`A f r C /PF� cFs E�vi�liL STQ AEST/ivAANT ** Applicant Questions Resolved Issues • Utilities o Water can be utilized from the existing water line on the adjacent property to the West or from the proposed water line on the project to the East. o Sewer will be connected to the existing main on the property to the North or to the proposed main to the East. o Drainage — the site naturally drains to the Northeast — we will propose that drainage is conveyed to the adjacent project to the East, stored and released. • Natural Resources Conceptual comments o Prairie Dogs —they are not on the site? Specific Questions: • Harmony / Snow Mesa intersection Are the newly installed signals positioned to allow for acceleration and deceleration lanes • Conceptual review comments for the prior proposed design of this project include a statement of possible repay for the traffic signal installed at Snow Mesa and Harmony, this is conflicting with our legal teams understanding of our responsibilities. Should Snow Mesa become public? • If yes : do we need to rip out the existing paving and reinstall to the city of Fort Collins sections? Is the width sufficient? Is there an advantage to leaving a portion of it private for a drainage conveyance system? Harmony Road • What is the additional street ROW? • What are the necessary easements behind the ROW — utility, drainage, emergency access? • Conceptual review comments for the prior proposed design of this project include a statement of dedication of ROW and the design & construction of the improvements, plus the design of improvements for 1,000' off -site in both directions (West and East) — hasn't the design for the adjacent properties already been submitted and approved? And, if so, were they required to design 1,000' either way? • How does the Access Control plan affect this property? • Has the concrete test section been replaced? • Connectivity If the parcels on the East and West are connected to this project as shown on the - drawing , what design considerations should be made? • Utilities Water can be utilized from the existing water line on the adjacent property to the West or from the proposed water line on the project to the East. Does it matter which one? Sewer will be connected to the existing main on the property to the North or to the proposed main to the East. Electric? Drainage — the site naturally drains to the Northeast — we will propose that drainage is conveyed to the adjacent project to the East, stored and released. Overhead utilities — are they REA? Will REA underground them? • Natural Resources Conceptual comments CO&W•,S11sPr.N4 GEnJrFn * Project Description / P,4F-a vi R.E's 7 R c o,- <Fss The Pads at Hpr oocated at the North East and North West corners of Harmony Road and ow Mesa Drive, consisting of two parcels containing approximately 8 acres and 1350 linear feet of Harmony Frontage. Both parcels are undeveloped vacant land. Snow Mesa Drive is currently a private drive providing access to the ARC Community Mobile Home Park. At the intersection of Harmony Road and Snow Mesa Drive a traffic signal has recently been installed. Access to The Pads at Harmony will be off of Snow Mesa Drive just north of this traffic signal. The Pads at Harmony is a small infill project sandwiched between Harmony School Shops (community shopping center) on the West, Bayer's proposed "Life Style" mall (regional shopping center) to the east, and ARC Community mobile home park to the north. Connectivity to Harmony School Shops and Bayer's site has been requested by both property owners and city staff members. Access to ARC Community Mobile Home Park will continue to be via Snow Mesa Drive. The Architecture of this project will reflect individual character per building while still allowing for a cohesive integration among the surrounding buildings, other developments and neighborhoods. Roof lines, finishes, and even parking will be consciously planed to allow for integration while increasing the areas' visual interest. Individual character will be achieved through architectural elements such as a parapet with accent cornicing extending from a sloped roof line, fascia/gutter detailing, slipped plane offsets, reveals and projections. All elevations will be visually pleasing and inviting allowing the needs of both tenants and neighborhood residences to be met. Finishes and other Architectural features will reflect that of an upscale multi use park that meshes with its rurally urbanized surroundings attracting users from surrounding communities. Pavers, raised planters, and landscaping will also act as laces, tying an established concept to the Pads at Harmony. The overall design concept will reflect that of an outdoor urban mixed use park that will have added interest and vitality gained from the mixed use buildings (office/retail etc). With consciousness to the surrounding businesses and neighborhoods, the developed property will be nestled in by rolling berms, and landscaping reflecting one of the three design concepts called out in the Harmony Corridor Plan, the Fort Collins Comprehensive Plan 02.07.06.
