Home My WebLink AboutHARMONY OAKS - PDP - 17-05 - CORRESPONDENCE - (4)Number: 7 Created: 4/13/2005 [4/13/05] Is the land use to the east residential? If so, please see section 3.2.1(E)(4)(b) regarding screening parking lots from adjacent uses Comments from Current Planning are on three redline sheets. 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 - Ted Shepard Chief Planner Page 6 connectivity requirements for Pedestrian LOS. There are a number of options available - including: a). Building the ultimate sidewalk in concrete, b). Building an interim asphalt connection c). Escrowing the money for the improvement to be done at some point in the future, or d). Providing a contribution in aid so that the improvement can be built at a later date. Since this is a considered an offsite improvement on private property, choosing options a, c, or d will make this applicant eligible for a repay from the adjacent property owner at such time as the parcel to the east re -develops. Option b, construction of the interim asphalt connection, will not be eligible for repay. I understand that there is some utility infrastructure in this area, I simply want to start the discussion on this item at this point in the process.

Department: Stormwater Utility Issue Contact: Wes Lamarque Topic: Stormwater Number: 28 Created: 4/29/2005 [4/29/05] This site is in the McClelland's drainage basin with a required detention pond release rate of .2 cfs/acre for the 10-year storm and .5 cfs/acre for the 100- year storm. Please revise the release rate for this site. Number: 29 Created: 4/29/2005 [4/29/05] The outfall for this site needs to be addressed in the drainage report. Please investigate where the site drainage will outfall to and if any drainage easements are required. The swale on the north side of the pier apartments is the destination the site flows needs to drain to. Department: Transportation Planning Issue Contact: David Averill Topic: General Number: 27 Created: 4/27/2005 [4/27/05] This project will need to facilitate an offsite sidewalk improvement to the east or west, it is the applicants choice, It would seem that going east would be most favorable for this project as the gap between the existing sidewalk to the east and the edge of this projects property line is about 40 feet or so. This will satisfy the Page 4 Department: Light & Power Issue Contact: Doug Martine Topic: Landscape plan Number: 1 Created: 4/8/2005 [4/8/05] A streetlight layout drawn on the landscape plan was sent to Ted Shepard on 4-8-05 via inter -office mail. The planned lights need to be shown on the landscape plan. The street tree locations will need to be adjusted to provide 40' clearance between the trees and lights (15' if the tree is an ornamental). Note that the lights may not be installed initially, until Xcel removes their existing overhead power line in the area. Topic: Power Number: 2 Created: 4/8/2005 [4/8/05] The developer will need to coordinate power requirements and electric development charges with Light & Power Engineering (221-6700).

Page 3 Number: 20 Created: 4/25/2005 [4/25/05] It is anticipated that Harmony Road will soon be a City road and no longer a State Highway. Until that time, however, the City will not be able to approve plans showing improvements (or lack thereof) to Harmony that are not to State standards. If for some reason Harmony Road remains a State Highway, quite a few additional items will need to be addressed. The City could take the project to Hearing with the condition that if Harmony remains a State highway, then the site will need to be redesigned as needed to meet State standards (drainage, access design, A -line process, etc.). Final approval of the project, however, will not take place until either the road changes hands and the City takes ownership of it, or it is decided that the road stays in the State's hands and the condition of approval is met. Number: 21 Created: 4/25/2005 [4/25/05] Please provide a public access easement along the west side of the property to accommodate future shared access with property(ies) to the west. Number: 25 Created: 4/26/2005 [4/26/05] Please see redlines and utility plan checklist for additional items. Number: 32 Created: 4/29/2005 [4/29/05] Please note that the access shown on these plans as full -movement on Harmony will, in the future, become right in/right out at a minimum, or it might possibly be eliminated in conformance with the Harmony Road Access Control Plan. This will be noted in the project's Development Agreement. Topic: Utility plans Number: 12 Created: 4/17/2005 [4/17/05] Please show existing features for min. 150' offsite (per LCUASS). Need to see how the proposed site plan fits in context. Number: 13 Created: 4/17/2005 [4/17/05] Please provide grade numbers on proposed grade lines, and make the existing grade lines/numbers legible. Number: 30 Created: 4/29/2005 [4/29/05] Please underground any exiting overhead utilities per LUC 3.3.2D(7) Number: 31 Created: 4/29/2005 [4/29/05] Please list access spacing from public streets as an approved engineering variance in the utility plan general notes. Page 2 STAFF PROJECT REVIEW Gtyof Fort Collins CITYSCAPE URBAN DESIGN Date: 05/05/2005 JOE CARTER 3555 STANFORD ROAD, SUITE 105 FORT COLLINS, CO 80525 Staff has reviewed your submittal for HARMONY OAKS PDP, 608 E HARMONY RD, TYPE II, and we offer the following comments: ISSUES: Department: Engineering Issue Contact: Katie Moore Topic: General Number: 8 Created: 4/17/2005 [4/17/05] Emergency access easement radius and width requirements are set forth under the LUC. Adjacent to buildings 3+ stories tall, the EAE should be 30' wide. Curve radii should be min. 25' interior, 50' exterior, measured from the same centerpoint. Number: 9 Created: 4/17/2005 [4/17/05] 1 am unsure as to why the Developer was under the impression that ROW dedication on Harmony would not be required with this project. My indication from Eric Bracke is that his previous comments to the Developer were that he did not anticipate that this development should have to dedicate ROW in excess of that dedicated in front of Home Depot, but that the Developer needed to work with Engineering to determine the exact requirements. To my knowledge, no contact was made with the Engineering Department after the discussion with Traffic. This development needs to determine the existing centerline of Harmony, then dedicate 70.5' of ROW from that point north (this is the same as what Home Depot dedicated). This development also needs to dedicate a 15' utility easement behind that ROW. Parking setbacks should be measured from the future flowline (75' required per LCUASS). Number: 10 Created: 4/17/2005 [4/17/05] Please note that any retaining wall 4' or taller from bottom of foundation to top of wall requires a building permit. Number: 11 Created: 4/17/2005 [4/17/05] A drainage pipe is shown to outlet offsite at the northeast corner of the property. Since there is no drainage easement there, an offsite easement will be required. Please provide a letter of intent from the adjacent property owner prior to scheduling a hearing, and provide the completed easement prior to signing of mylars. Page 1
