Near the northeast corner of the Albertsons building on the site plan there's a note that says "Lot Line (typ)"
with an arrow that points to nothing. The arrow needs to point to a lot line, so the note needs to be moved,
or a lot line needs to be drawn.
Red -line drawings are available at the Current Planning front desk. Red -lined Engineering
drawings will be forwarded under a separate cover. 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.

Call out all inlet sizes and types on the overall utility plan. Call out types of pipe used for drainage. Please
specify if these DP (Drainage Pipes) will be RCP Class III, ADS etc... ??
There are still many areas that are unreadable on the plans. The overall utility plan is too busy with text
notations.
Please reroute the storm sewer to the southeast of building 8 in a manner that would minimize the amount of
crossings over the proposed water line.
Please maintain a minimum 18" vertical clearance between sanitary lines and storm lines whenever possible.
The overall utility plan has many unreadable/overlapped labeling. Please clarify and correct.
Legend is missing on some of the plans. -
Please provide a phasing plan. Clarify what will be built with first phase, how will future phases be dealt with
in the interim, will they be overlot graded and stabilized ??

There have been discussions and preliminary designs for a channelized 'T' intersection at
Timberline/Milestone. The new set of plans shows a full movement intersection without the benefit of the
channelizing medians. Why? If the developer has decided not to go with the chanellized 'T', then a full
median will be constructed resulting in a right-in/right-out access at Timberline/Milestone
The connection to the east has not changed. It still appears circuitous and meanders through the parking lot
rather than functioning as a true cross access.

Harmony corridor is identified as a future Enhanced Travel Corridor' and Timberline will be a high frequency
corridor on the City's Long Range Transit Plan. According to the LUC (4.19 (E.1c) neighborhood commercial
centers are major stages for the transit network (existing or future). Integration of a transit stop needs to be
included in future submittals. A meeting with Transportation Planning and Transfort is requested to discuss the
stop locations. (FOLLOW UP COMMENT 6-2-03) The proposed right turn lane into the site from Timberline will
suffice as the future transit stop on the Timberline corridor. However, the Harmony stop needs to be located
as close as possible to the primary driveway and walkway system into the site (see red lines). Even though no
concrete pads will be required at this time, please show on the site plan the walkway connection, landing
area, and shelter pad. (see redlines for stop locations)
Number: 28 Created: 3/28/2003
The proposed private drives that provide cross access to the eastern property need to be realigned and
more direct. (Follow Up Comment 5-29-03) Since the City is not requiring a public street connection to the
east, the primary east -west drive aisle should be designed to function similar to a street. Furthermore, this
drive access may become very important for this development if the 3/4 turn movement from EB Harmony
Road is closed at some future date, which according to CDOT is very likely. Please see the provided sketches
for the reconfigured drive aisle and intersection.
Number: 32 Created: 3/28/2003
Directional access ramps are required within the public Right of Way. Please install directional ramps at the
two drive aisle entrances off of Milestone Drive (see red lines). An additional ramp on the north side of
Milestone Drive is required to align with the ramp directed to the north. Also change the radial style ramps
shown at the Harmony Road access to east to west directional ramps only. (Repeat Comment 5-29-03)
Please show directional access ramps at the drive way intersections with Milestone Dr. in accordance with
the LCUASS (see red lines).

Based on CDOT requirements (given the existing posted speed limit), when Harmony Road is widened to 6
lanes, the required stacking for the dual -left turn lanes might eliminate the 3/4 turning movement into the site,
reducing the driveway out to Harmony Road as a right -in, right -out movement.

There are numerous areas defined internal to the plat that are not locatable.
Number: 74 Created: 5/22/2003
Note 1 on the plat is a potential concern. The blanket easement being created by the note technically results in all
buildings being built on this easement (and perhaps legally prevents the buildings from being built) because building
envelopes aren't defined on the plat.
Number: 90 Created: 6/5/2003
Technical Services offered the following comments:
1. Boundary & legal closes
2. Plat does not meet requirements of Sections 1.2.2 and 1.2.4 in Appendix E-6 of the Larimer County Urban Area
Street Standards.
3. Comments from March 26, 2003 Sheet have not been addressed. (#2 & #6)
4. If lot lines to be vacated were removed the plat would be cleaner.
5. Drainage/detention area at NEC of plat needs a Tract #.
6. Some easements are not locatable.
Topic: Site Plan
Number: 71 Created: 5/21 /2003
Please add a note on the site plan indicating that: "Buildings 3, 4, 5, and 6 are approved with regards to land use only.
Subsequent development of each building will require City approval of site specific utility plans (prepared by a licensed
engineer in the State of Colorado) for the area surrounding each building currently noted as "Future Phase" on the
Harmony School Shops 4th Filing utility plans. Said approval shall be in conjunction with an associated minor or major
amendment (as applicable). Drainage reports, erosion control deposits, and inspection fees may also be required with
the development of each building."
A similar note will be required on the development agreement for the project.

The TIS notes approach speeds on Harmony as 45 mph instead of 50 westbound, 55 eastbound. The TIS
should correct this information and if any of the numbers generated in the report are dependent on posted
speed, those results should likewise be amended.

The TIS shows EB Harmony to NB Timberline turning movements at 8 (AM) & 6 (PM) while the some turning
movement into the site off the 3/4 access directly east is at 61 (AM) & 123 (PM). The TIS should explain how
this distribution split was determined.

Letters of intent are required for all offsite easements prior to the scheduling of a hearing. This appears
required for the property to the northeast as well as southwest.

The existing cross access easement shown on the plat, which would facilitate connectivity to the east, does
not line up with the driveway connection shown on the plans, which has been moved north. A cross access
easement will need to be maintained at the finalized location for the driveway connection to the east.
(6/4/03) Please ensure that cross access is maintained to the east by showing an access easement on the
plat starting from the access point off Harmony north then proceeding east along the driveway which is
meant to continue east into the future developable area. In addition, the site plan should make reference to
the driveway continuing east upon development of the neighboring property.

It was not noted initially that Timberline Village is an existing name of a recorded plat in the City; the

Based upon discussion among City Transportation on 6/5, it was concluded that additional right-of-way along Harmony
Road adjacent to this site is not required. This is a result of the determination that the right-of-way in place today will
'Work" in the ultimate 6-lane configuration of Harmony Road. Future edge of pavement to determine the 80' setback
should still be verified.
Number: 76 Created: 5/22/2003
Based upon discussion among City Transportation on 6/5, the horizontal alignment of the channelized-T design is
satisfactory. The following items related to this design though, does need to be addressed.
1. Cross sections along the channelized-T at 50' intervals (as well as critical point such as median noses) are needed to
verify drainage patterns and vertical "ride". Also provide spot elevations on any plan view.
2. Indicate curb type along the medians for the channelized-T proposed and provide a detail.
3. Turning movements for large vehicles (WB-50) need to be verified on this design, especially because of commercial
trucks using this to serve the site and it allows them to head east on Harmony Road.
3. The proposed design is considered safe from a Traffic Operations standpoint, provided that the work north of
Timberline (as being designed by North Star Design) is completed concurrently. The channelized-T without these
improvements is a safety issue. It is required that this offsite design is approved concurrently with these plans if not
already approved with the Caribou Apartments project. This may involve needing to place the plans from North Star
into this submittal or getting North Star to separate this plan set out from the Caribou Apartments design to be approved
independently. In addition, this offsite construction will need to be done prior to or concurrent with the channelized-T
construction. As Caribou Apartments is under final compliance review, this may not be a concern, but if that project

and we offer the following comments. This letter does not include Current Planning
Department comments, which will be forwarded under a separate cover.

The internal parking lot and building layout design will likely be altered due to additional right-of-way width
required on Harmony and Timberline Roads. Harmony Road requires an additional through lane per the
City's Master Street Plan. Timberline Road also requires additional lanes and per the TIS, also requires
additional right-of-way for the channelized-T intersection design with Milestone Drive. Interim/ultimate street
designs are needed (which will also require CDOT approval) this will help establish right-of-way, utility, &
Harmony Corridor setback requirements.
(6/4/03)
The plat appears to reflect the additional right-of-way required on Harmony Road correctly. However, this
change in property line is not reflected on the horizontal control plans, Using the City's horizontal control plan
for the Harmony Road alignment, it then appears as a result that the building placements fall short of the 80'
setback from the future edge of pavement. Because the channelized-T design along Timberline has not
been completed, there may be right-of-way impacts of the design which in turn may affect the building
placement along Timberline.
Number: 47 Created: 3/31 /2003
Ensure 9' utility easement is provided on Milestone Drive, 15' utility easements are provided on both Harmony
and Timberline Road behind the ultimate right-of-way for each, and 80' of setback for the Harmony Corridor
plan behind the future edge of pavement (6 lane section) for Harmony Road.
(6/4/03)
15' of utility easement along Harmony Road is not evident on the plat. In addition, 80' of setback from the
future edge of pavement is also not evident on the plat.

Utility, access, and landscape permits are likely to be required by CDOT as the project continues.
(6/4/03)
It should be verified who will be working on the permit for CDOT to underground the overhead line within the
development. Because I believe the line is Excel's, they likely need to be working with the Developer for that
portion of the utility permit.
Number: 52 Created: 4/1 /2003
The tree protection/mitigation plan shows landscaping to be removed/relocated outside of the property
boundaries. Because this is off -site, the off -site easement required should also include a provision for tree
removal/relocation. Another option is for the off -site property owner to sign off on the tree mitigation plan.
(It appears that the offsite and onsite entities are one in the some, so this shouldn't be an issue).
(6/4/03)
Prior to a hearing, the landowner to the north should indicate if any issues exist on the proposal.
