At the time of Minor Amendment to the plans, we are anticipating that there will be plaza space with tables and enhanced landscaping surrounding the area. Until we have more definition on the end user/users of that building it is difficult to say exactly what the treatment in that area will look like. 01/13/2015: The build to line requirements of 3.5.3 for Strauss Cabin Rd a is 0-15ft from the public ROW. The plans are showing a 25' setback from the ROW. The landscape plan and/or site plan do not indicate any enhance outdoor space. The applicant has stated the build -to -line is being met; this is unclear. Response: The build -to line and footprint have been moved to the edge of the utility easement at 15' behind the ROW. At the time of Minor Amendment for this building, we will do the final siting of the building which will either meet the 15' build to line, or more likely, have an enhanced outdoor space. Comment Number: 2 Comment Originated: 01/13/2015 03/24/2015: The build to line still applies along a street like private drive.

Response: Noted. Please keep us informed regarding the internal discussions city staff has regarding this matter. 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. Response: Noted.

Comment Number: 21 Comment Originated: 01/16/2015 01/16/2015: Plat Need to provide a signature line for SFCSD to sign the plat accepting the easement being dedicated to them. The standard plat note regarding covenants needs to be added. The ultimate ROW for Strauss Cabin and the associated 15 foot utility easement need to be dedicated with this plat. The ROW for the right turn lane onto Road A needs to be dedicated with this plat.The public access easements, utility easements, drainage easements and emergency access easements needed by this project need to be shown and dedicated on this plat. Response: Revised as requested. As of 3/25/15 the standard plat note regarding covenants still needs to be added. Response: This has been added to the Plat. Comment Number: 22 Comment Originated: 01/16/2015 01/16/2015: See additional markups on the plans for additional comments. Comment Number: 23 Comment Originated: 03/25/2015 03/25/2015: The plat and the plans need to have matching titles/ names. Response: Noted. The title of the project and plat is now "Harmony & Strauss Cabin Convenience Shopping Center Subdivision Filing No. 1 Comment Number: 24 Comment Originated: 03/27/2015 03/27/2015: 24. As a part of the final plans we will need. Strauss Cabin — Ultimate flowline and centerline profiles and cross sections. Also need profile and elevations for the right turn splitter island Strauss Cabin — interim flowline and centerline profiles and cross sections Harmony Road — flowline and median edge profile and cross section Harmony and Strauss Cabin intersection detail — including information and elevations for the median changes (if required) and splitter island design and construction details (horizontal control information — curves, lengths, locations, and elevations) Comment Number: 25 Comment Originated: 03/27/2015 03/27/2015: 25. So far you have only provided centerline profile, but it looks as if some of the curves are short of requirements. Make sure to check Figure 7-17 and 7-18 for minimum curve lengths based on the design speed and the algebraic difference. 9 01/14/2015: The development will be responsible for the installation and 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. Response: Noted. Comment Number: 16 Comment Originated: 01/16/2015: Provide Street Cut note on utility plan sheet and any sheet in which a street cut would be shown. Limits of street cut are approximate. Final limits are to be determined in the field by the City Engineering Inspector. All repairs to be in accordance with City street repair standards. Response: Thanks for the note. Comment Number: 17 Comment Originated: 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. Response: These letters will be provided prior to hearing. Comment Number: 19 01/16/2015 01/16/2015 Comment Originated: 01/16/2015 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. Response: Noted. See above response. Comment Number: 20 Comment Originated: 01/16/2015 01/16/2015: Are the OHE lines going away? Several poles may need to be moved in order to accommodate the right turn lane improvements and the signal poles for the intersection. Also the project is responsible for either undergrounding the lines that run along or through the property. Response: Noted. Relocation of utilities will be included in the final design plans. Also, the OHE west of 5 Topic: General Comment Number: 4 Comment Originated: 01/14/2015 01/14/2015: Need to have a conversation with the applicant and PFA in regards to how the emergency access areas are to be and can be designed and what barriers will be put in place. Response: Noted. 03/27/15:One of the drives due to its proximity to the inlet can't fully be a roll curb — I don't know if that will work for PFA or not. Response: Noted. Comment Number: 5 Comment Originated: 01/14/2015 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 be at 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 6 this will also include the underdrain and the need for a water tap out to that area. 03-27-15: Need up dated turning templates for both the interim and ultimate situation. Response: The updated turning movement exhibits are included with this submittal. Comment Number: 14 Comment Originated: 01/14/2015 01/14/2015: Right-of-way for ultimate Strauss Cabin Road adjacent to Outlot D and Outlot E along with the adjacent utility easement needs to be dedicated with this plat. 03-27-15: Pretty sure this is being done. The plat shows right-of-way being dedicated, but I can't see yet how that relates to the ultimate design as the row line is not labeled on those sheets yet. Response: This has been updated on the sheets. Comment Number: 15 Comment Originated: 01/14/2015 4 Comment Number: 9 Comment Originated: 01/13/2015 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. Response: We have added label and dimensions to further clarify. Comment Number: 17 Comment Originated: 03/25/2015 03/25/2015: See redline notes and other minor edits on the landscape plan. Response: Revised as requested. Topic: Site Plan Comment Number: 10 Comment Originated: 01/13/2015 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 Site Plan -- perhaps #1. Response: This Note has been added to the Site Plan. Comment Number: 13 Comment Originated: 03/24/2015 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. 1. Response: Revised as requested. 2. We have chosen not to include this area. 3. This has been updated 4. We have allowed space for a 9' Utility Easement on the back of the "street". The additional space will be determined in the Minor Amendment Process, but it will allow for Patios and Landscaping. 5. A photometric plan has been submitted with this submittal. Comment Number: 15 Comment Originated: 03/24/2015 03/24/2015: The walk from Harmony should be shifted west to serve both northern buildings that don't have direct ped access from any other street or street -like drive. Response: This walk has been shifted west. Comment Number: 16 Comment Originated: 03/25/2015 03/25/2015: Sidewalk connections to primary uses to the south are crucial and need to be extended. Response: The requested walks are now included. Department: Engineering Development Review Contact: Sheri Langenberger, 970-221-6573, slangenberger@fcgov.com 3 Response: Revised as requested. Thank you, Megan Harrity Subdivisons Larimer County Assessor 970-498-7065 mharrity@larimer.org Comment Number: 7 Comment Originated: 01/13/2015 01/13/2015: The termination of Hacienda Dr. looks like it needs back -out space for the last parking stall. Response: There is almost 10' of space in which a car could back out from the closest parking stall. This is sufficient space so the termination of Hacienda Drive has not been changed. Comment Number: 11 Comment Originated: 01/16/2015 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." Response: Agreed. as we move to final landscape design these themes will be carried forward. Comment Number: 14 Comment Originated: 03/24/2015 03/24/2015: A perspective view(s) should be developed to convey the plan for this special gateway. Response: These are being generated and will be provided prior to hearing. Topic: Landscape Plans Comment Number: 8 Comment Originated: 01/13/2015 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. Response: This has been updated on the landscape plan and will be further detailed at final. 5 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." Response: Notes have been added to the Building Elevations. Topic: General Comment Number: 1 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. Response: Noted. A request has been made. 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. Response: Noted. 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. Response: Noted. Comment Number: 2 Comment Originated: 01/13/2015 01/13/2015: From the water and sewer districts: "Previous comments from the FC/Loveland Water District and S. FC Sanitation District, letters dated May 15, 2014; June 30, 2014; and July 22, 2014 need to be addressed before the above mentioned submittal can be reviewed. Please do not hesitate to contact Terry Farrill at 226-3104 x 104." Response: We have met with the FCLWD/SFCSD staff regarding the utility services to this project site. We are working through master -level utility plans and finalizing lift station locations with them. Comment Number: 4 From Larimer County: Comment Originated: 01/13/2015 The township is noted on the plat as being in township 7 when it is in township 6. Response: Revised as requested. 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 title.

Comment Summary: Department: Planning Services Contact: Clark Mapes, 970-221-6225, cmapes@fcqov.com Topic: Building Elevations Comment Number: 5 Comment Originated: 01/13/2015 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
