09/04/2014: Please add a legal description for the project property.
Response: Added.
Response: We will modify the existing Cross Access Easement for the property to include an EAE
dedication. A small portion of the driveway from Harmony Road is not in our ownership, but the adjoining
property owner has agreed to join in the dedication.
This would provide total access to the building's exterior and exceeds the minimum
code requirement. For documentation purposes, the Poudre Fire district will note that required turning
radii are not being achieved in all areas of the proposed EAE but those circumstances are acceptable as a
pre-existing condition of the site.

Service to these 7 units would most likely originate from existing facilities SW corner of the
property. Cable may be extended north in the 5' utility easement to provide an access
pedestal. Service drops to one central location (West side of structure for demarcation). Inside
wiring to each unit from this network interfaces required.
Applicant must work with area engineer to determine existing facility tap in and extension for
service to units. Due to tariff requirements, a conduit run for cable extensions and service drop
conduits will be needed. Actual route and access pedestal locations (if existing cannot be
utilized) will need to be worked out with CTL engineering.
Please contact us well in advance as our engineering and construction cycle time is about 8
weeks now due to so much volume all over Front Range North.
Response: Acknowledged.

FIRE LANES
9/10/14: Restatement of information detailed in email to City Planner, Ryan Mounce, dated
9/10/14: Fire access is needed on the NE side of the property because minimum fire access
requirements cannot be met from Fromme Prairie Way alone. Units 2, 3, 5 & 7 are out of
access. Providing an EAE through the commercial area, as currently detailed on the plat, will
cover the remainder of Units 5 & 7 but not Units 2 & 3. As a minimum, the EAE needs to
extended to the property limits on the north side of the property. From that location, firefighters
can cover the majority of Units 2 & 3 within the 150 foot access limitation. Only the courtyard of
Unit 3 remains out of access, but as the buildings are to be sprinklered, the 150 foot maximum
fire access requirement may be extended in this circumstance.
An option proposed by Ken Miller was to include the driveway in the EAE dedication. That
would provide total access to the building's exterior but as it exceeds the minimum code
requirement it is not compulsory. If that choice is made however, the turning radius of the
driveway would have to conform with fire code standards. If it's possible to include the
adjoining commercial property in the access easement, that solution would clean up the EAE
boundaries. For documentation purposes, I'll note required turning radii are not being achieved
in all areas of the proposed EAE but those circumstances are acceptable as a pre-existing
condition of the site.
08/04/2014: Fire Lanes shall be provided to within 150' of ALL portions of all buildings, as
measured by an approved route around the exterior of the building. Supporting documentation
does not provide details of an existing Emergency Access Easement serving the commercial
property bordering to the north. Without it, some portions of the east & west buildings
(especially units 2,3,6,&7) would be out of fire access. Lacking further site details, it is unclear if
access needs are being met with this site design. When fire lanes cannot be provided, the fire
code official is authorized to increase the dimension of 150 feet if the building is equipped
throughout with an approved, automatic fire -sprinkler system. Further information is required.

07/25/2014: The following comments are from Bob Rulli, Field Engineer with CenturyLink, who
may be reached at 970-490-7503 or robert.rulli@centurylink.com:
MST&T easement runs along the south border of the property. This easement contains the west
end of the major W Harmony duct run. Multiple ducts as well as manholes (actual location of
manhole not noted on plat). This will not be relocated and access to this manhole must be
provided. The manhole will likely sit in one of the units' driveway. Grade changes (frame and
cover adjustments) will be developers expense. Ducts must be protected in place during
construction. Depth coverage must be maintained for final.

09/10/2014: The response indicated that .5% will be maintained throughout which is acceptable.
The response also added however that curb and gutter is outflow, which I'm unsure why would
be intended. The paving plan notes the use of inflow curb and gutter, which would be required
with the inset curb and gutter for parking, unless outflow curb and gutter is utilized with concrete
parking and a pan between the parking and the through street. Please clarify.
07/30/2014: In measuring and the flowline grade around the inset parking appears to achieve
only .4% in areas. Please ensure .5% minimum is obtained.
Response: 0.55% is the minimum grade throughout the flowline, and labels are provided to further
emphasize this minimum requirement.

09/10/2014: The response indicates further discussion on making this change. We've made
this a requirement on other projects, including Uptown Plaza and minor amendment for the
Taco Bell next door on West Elizabeth.
07/30/2014: The project will need to reconfigure the existing access ramp at the southeast
corner of the site to face east and direct pedestrians to cross parallel to Fromme Prairie Way,
and provide truncated domes in accordance with LCUASS drawing 1607. The new detached
sidewalk should just continue to this new access ramp with the existing attached sidewalk south
of the new walk removed.
Response: The existing ramp is now shown to be removed and reconstructed as requested.
Comment Number: 3 Comment Originated: 07/30/2014
09/10/2014: The planning related documents (except the building elevations) are still labelled
as "Prairie Village Townhomes" while the plat, civil, and building elevations are labelled as
"Prairie Village". Please ensure all the documents share one of these titles. From my
perspective either title is fine.
07/30/2014: Please coordinate the name of the project across the various documents. The site
and landscape plan has "Townhomes" after "Prairie Village" while the other documents do not.
Response: Updated to read "Prairie Village".

Comment Originated: 09/10/2014
09/10/2014: With the emergency access easement defined on the plat connecting Harmony
Road with Fromme Prairie Way it appears that in order to maintain the full 24' width that an offsite
emergency access easement is needed from Lot 1 of the Overlook Fifth Filing P.U.D.
Assuming PFA is requiring this, we would need a letter of intent from that property owner
indicating acceptability to the concept of granting an easement, which would be required prior
to approval of the plan. The dedication of an emergency access easement by separate
document requires a $250 transportation development review fee, along with fees assessed by
Larimer County for recording the deed. The City has a standard easement dedication form as
well which requires signatures from the grantor along with an attorney certification of the deed.
Response:.An additional "offsite" easement will be acquired from the adjacent property owner.
Discussions with this owner have begun, and it appears that party is willing to grant the easement.
