03/24/2015: The intersection of Kechter/Strauss Cabin needs more discussion
- whether improvements should be built with this phase, fee in lieu is provided or
something else.....
01/13/2015: The Kechter/Srauss Cabin intersection needs additional review.
The TIS assumes two additional lanes are built with the short term analysis, but
since a roundabout is recommended, the TIS doesn't recommend building the
lanes. We'll need an analysis of the short term total with existing lane
configuration if that is what will be in place. It is likely that this development will
need to plan on building the roundabout with the southern portions of the
property.

maintenance of the landscaping in the medians on Strauss Cabin Road. Notes
as such will be placed in the DA identifying that this project is responsible for
the installation and maintenance at such time the median is installed.

01/16/2015: Need a letter of intent from the property owner(s) in which off -site
easement will be needed for the sewer line connection that they plan on
dedicating this easement. Letters of intent are required to be received prior to
a project being scheduled for a hearing.
As of 3/25/15 it looks as if letters of intent are needed for the right turn lane on
Harmony (right-of-way, grading, overhead line relocation, box elder ditch
diversion structure, fire hydrant relocation, signal pole placement), the force
main connection (looks like 3 different property owners including the ditch), the
water main tie to the east (it is possible easement exists for this, but it is not
labeled), and Strauss Cabin north of Harmony widening (easements or
right-of-way maybe needed). Many of the property lines are not identified and/
or labeled on the plans so it is difficult to tell where easements or right-of-way
may be needed. Once that information is provided the number of off -site
easements and/ or right-of-way needed may change. Letters of intent (a letter
indicating that they will provide the necessary easement and/ or right-of-way
needed) are required to be provided to show the project as designed is
possible prior to the project being scheduled for hearing.

01/16/2015: The east bound right turn lane on Harmony Road that will be
installed as part of the interim improvements - Where is the existing ROW line?
Can this be installed and the grading done within the existing ROW. IF not a
letter of intent for dedication of ROW and/ or easements needed to construct
this will be needed prior to hearing.

03/24/2015: Site Plan Edits: 1)1 have a minor edit to bike parking note. 2) On
the land use table, does it make sense to include the "South" area? (I think not,
but if so it needs a note to clarify what it refers to.) 3) Outlot designations don't
match among plans. 4) Maximum allowable building extents need to be
clarified. And along the drive, they could seemingly extend to within 15-18' of
the drive -- is there a reason for the amount of space? 5) A lighting note must
be added re: down -directional sharp cutoff fixtures for all exterior lighting.

and what barriers will be put in place.

01/14/2015: Before I can provide much in the way of comments in regard to
Strauss Cabin design, we need to get the ultimate Harmony and Strauss Cabin
intersection figured out. We will be meeting on Jan 22 to further work on this,
but here is some direction on what we need to see now that we know what lanes
are required.
Turning templates need to be provided showing that E-W and N-S lefts can be
made at the same time. Where there are single lefts a WB-67 shall be shown.
Where there are double lefts a WB-67 using the outside turnlane and a Single
Unit Truck shown using the inside turn lane. There shall beat least 4 feet
between the opposing turning movements.
On Harmony a 7 foot minimum median island (the arterial standard) will need to
be achieved. This will ultimately be a raised, curbed, and landscaped median.
On all legs pedestrian refuge islands need to be designed and shown. For the
two legs in which we have an acceleration lane (onto Harmony) these will be per
detail 8-18 and the other two will be per detail 8-19. Turning templates using
WB-67 will be needed to determine how wide the travel/ turn lane is. These
islands will help to define where the pedestrian crossing and median refuge
islands are to be located and where the signal poles will be located.
The 4 foot ultimate median on Strauss Cabin will be acceptable. Please plan
on this median being landscaped as per standards when medians are provided
4 this will also include the underdrain and the need for a water tap out to that

The Narrative on landscape plans should be revised to reflect previous
comments and the ODP language. This probably warrants a follow up email.
The previous comment was: "An overall effect of comments on these plans and
throughout the process is that the image of development in this location will be
largely landscaping, with buildings behind and among the landscaping; and this
is different than typical highway commercial exit development which relies on
extremely high visibility corporate development with limited emphasis on
landscaping. For this project, visibility will be in openings that frame intermittent
views of buildings, and any signs that may be located closer to the street."

01/13/2015: Landscaping is crucial to making development complement the
river valley setting. Add "Cottonwoods" to legend with a note that the symbol
indicates location of groupings and/or specimens of trees to express the river
valley setting and complement the landscape on the north side of Harmony
Road at the TTC and Natural Areas." At final, this approach should be
developed further. The point being to to implement the vision for this special
site. The project is ALL in the river valley which is our most prominent natural
feature and is the defining context for land use in this area. The river valley
character should be continued throughout the whole development, not just in the
swale along Harmony. The idea of a transition to typical commercial
landscaping in parking lots should be blended with a special river valley
character. Staff can discuss examples, and ideas for this landscape plan. THE
NARRATIVE NEEDS MORE WORK TO BETTER EXPRESS THIS
APPROACH. Comment #8 is related.

01/13/2015: A previous comment was to show the Harmony Road frontage
(parkway and sidewalk). It is now possible, barely, to discern that on the, plans
but it would be much better if clarified, with solid lines similar to other curbs and
sidewalks on the plan.

01/13/2015: Following previous discussions, clarification of the status of
Hacienda Drive is acknowledged. The treatment of the space between the
buildings and the drive shall be clarified in subsequent Amendments for each
building and user, to define entries, patios, plazas, and landscaping. This will
be a crucial part of the development. This should be added as a note on the

Amendments can be done for each user. If it varies from these elevations, it will
be treated as Major Amendments to be reviewed by the Planning and Zoning
Board."

From GIS regarding addressing:
Comment Originated: 01/06/2015
1. Please request a street name reservation for Access A through the GIS
office and note the approved name on the subdivision plat prior to recording.
Availability of street names can be checked at Larimer.org/streets.
2. Addresses will be assigned by the GIS Department after the plans have met
final approval through Development Review and are recorded with the City.
3. Projects with three or more tenant units require the Unit Level Addressing
form to be completed and submitted to the GIS Department once plans have
met final approval through Development Review and are recorded with the City.
This can occur anytime during construction, but before any utilities or address
signs are installed. All addressing will be determined by the GIS Department
and submitted to Poudre Fire Authority, USPS, Building Services, and Fort
Collins Utilities. Failure to contact GIS and determining addresses through
other means may result in address changes.
The Unit Level Addressing form can be obtained by contacting the GIS office at
gis@fcgov.com or (970) 416-2483.

The township is noted on the plat as being in township 7 when it is in township
6.
Also, the dedication of the subdivision as currently listed does not include the
wording Filing No 1. Please add that also as filing no. 1 is listed in the plats

01/13/2015: The revised building character as depicted is understood and
acknowledged in terms of its intent to result in a set of buildings that will create a
human -scaled place to be. The quality can be consistent with goals for this area
as a gateway to the city. It is understood that the elevations are Character
Elevations and that actual users will require further development of building
programming and design. The character elevations should be titled as such,
with a note that final building design will be determined through Minor
Amendments, as long as the design conforms to the approved plan. I can
assist with this note - it's been done before.
If the elevations correspond to the site plan, then label them as such.
Staff would like to discuss details and materials, and then add more information
on the elevation sheets in this regard.
From previous comments on previous 'swoosh' design approach for reference:
"Elevations provide a unifying theme, style, and character for the Convenience
Shopping Center. The intent is for subsequent plan amendments for actual
building design to substantially conform to the character so that Minor
