The result, we believe, will be that the new residents and others in the neighborhood will be able to have access to Poudre Valley Hospital, Lesher Junior High, Riffenburg Elementary School and The Edora Park complex, including EPIC. In addition, it will make access between Harris Bilingual School and Laurel Elementary School easier for those people who live south of Prospect Road. The project will complete another connection with the Spring Creek trail spine and will result in greater pedestrian and bicycle use. Bicycle Prospect Road in front door of the project. It is designated as part of the City's on street bike path system. The widening and curbing of the street will result in a safer bike lane along Prospect, across the frontage of Pinnacle Townhomes. As stated in the pedestrian section, a crucial connection will be made between the Spring Creek Trail and the Prospect Road bike lane(s) and sidewalk. This will facilitate access to and from the project, as well for rider's passing through to other destinations along Spring Creek, such as the University, Edora Park, Lesher Junior High School, Riffenburg Elementary School, Harris Bilingual School and Laurel Elementary School. Summary The addition of the Pinnacle project will result in a valuable connection for the Spring Creek Trail, a new bus pullout for mass transit users and an addition to the City's pedestrian system. As designed, the project is quite compatible with the transportation goals of City Plan. The residents of the Pinnacle Townhomes will be able to avail themselves to all of the aforementioned transportation elements. To: City of Fort Collins Planning Department PO Box 580 Fort Collins, CO 80522 Re: Pinnacle Town Home — Prospect Road Alternative Modes of Transportation Study As requested, the following is as analysis of the Alternative modes of Trans- portation available for the Pinnacle Town Homes on Prospect Road between Lemay Avenue and Stover Street. Pursuant to the comments from City Staff, we have examined the pedestrian and mass transportation alternatives available to the site in question and after the following review. Mass Transit Route 10 of the City of Fort Collins mass transit system, Transfort, serves the property in question. Route 10 runs between the CSU Transit Center and the Prospect office and industrial areas east of Timberline. Buses run on a 23 minute past the hour schedule west bound, and an approximate 58 minute schedule east bound. As part of the City's requirements, the applicants are providing a bus pullout, just to the east of the project entrance. The pullout will be built to City standards. The pullout will allow for safer off- street access from Prospect. The stop will be built with the standard City Transfort bench, logos and signage. Pedestrian The project will be directly accessible to the Spring Creek Trail System and the existing sidewalk on the on the north side of Prospect. In addition, the entire frontage of the property will have installed, a standard city sidewalk, with a Transfort stop and landscaping. The interior of the project has been designed to encourage pedestrian access through the project, on the public road system. The most important contribution, the project will make to the City transportation fabric, is the connection between the Spring Creek Trail and Prospect Road. This will replace Pinnacle Town Homes At Prospect Road Alternative Modes of Transportation Prepared by: Tom Peterson Stanford Real Estate October 31, 2001 41. The Landscape Plan has been revised to provide the required separations between plant materials and utilities. 46. The parking lot to the east of units 48-51 can provide access tothe sewer lines on.the south side of the project.

Keep all shrubs 4' clear from all water/sewer lines." Note 16 has'been added which states: "Locate all utilities prior to planting and installation of irrigation equipment and piping." 12 Zoning (Gary Lopez) 2. Building footprints for units 1-8 and 9-16 (the single family attached units) have been removed -and maximum building envelopes have been shown. These . buildings are now labeled as Single Family Attached Units. 3. An additional tree has been added to the east of the 6-space parking south of 8- plex (units 1-8). 4. See 1. above. 5. A ramp has been added to the walk by the handicap spaces. 6. Bike racks are included and shown on the Site Plan and exceed the required 5% of the total parking spaces required for the 8-plex units.(6, spaces provided and only 2 required, 5% of 28_ car spaces). 7. The 8-plex buildings are single family attached units and plans have been revised accordingly. Hopefully this addresses all of the outstanding issues related to the submittal. Please review the enclosed information and should you have any questions, feel free to give me a call.

As discussed in the Utility Coordination Meeting and as suggested by Ron .Gonzales, an 80' diameter emergency access easement with a hammerhead 'turnaround has been added to both ends of Apex Drive (Meadowlands Lane). 72. All alleys have been changed to private drives with utility and public access easements across them. .73. A note has been added to the Site Plan which -states "All buildings shall have address numerals which shall be visible from the street on which the property fronts with a minimum 6 inch high numerals on contrasting background." 75.

The transit stop was designed using the information provided to Shear Engineering by Transfort. 83. All ramps have been shown on the Site.Plan. 85. As per the Larimer County Urban Street Standards (Drawing 19-04, attached), - if the parking stalls are, 19'deep, only a 4' wide walk is required. If the stalls were reduced to 17' deep, as allowed by the Standards, we believe the 6'.walks would be required. 86. A 4.5' wide walk has-been shown on.the plans connecting Apex Drive (Meadowlands Lane) to units 52 and 53. 87. The Larimer County Urban Street Standards only require a 4.5 wide walk along local streets but we have revised this walk on.the west side of Robertson Street to be 6' in width. 88.

All water and sewer,mains and service lines have been added -to the Landscape - Plan. 4 Apex Drive. This I V easement would provide enough room for the electric, phone and cable tv to be installed between the curb and walk (or behind the edge of pavement on the private drive) and then for Xcel to install its' required mains. _ Light and Power, AT & T Broadband and Qwest will joint trench their facilities and felt that this was an'acceptable solution and that the T easement on the south side of Apex Drive and the south side of the private drive would provide the required room needed to install their facilities. We -have also noted that easements through the individual units will be required and this is typically accomplished by the developer through the covenants for the development. 4. Forestry (Tim Buchanan) 95. Red Sunset Maple and Autumn Purple Ash when used as street trees have been changed. 96. All Red Sunset Maple have been removed from the plan. 97. The "Tree Protection Specifications have been added to the Landscape Plan. 5. Light and Power (Doug Martine) 102.

The Utility Coordination meeting Was held on September 13, 2001.. 105. Correct, electric heat will, not be used in these homes. Heating will be by . natural gas 106. Item noted and it is.intend to gang all meters on one end of the buildings. ; 107. Street light locations as discussed in the Utility Coordination Meeting have been shown on both the Site Plan and the Landscape Plan. Trees have been placed to . provide the required 40' separation from the lights. Once a electric utility plan is prepared by Light and Power with the exact locations of the street lights, the Landscape Plan can then be revised again to make sure the proper separations still exist. • . 6. Natural Resources (Doug Moore) 77. As discussed with Doug Moore by the developers' ecological consultant, Mike Phelan, an updated Preble's Mouse Survey is not required. 78. In my meeting of September 4t6 with Doug Moore, we discussed the Buffer_ Zone Performance Standards and. his concern and suggestions to improve the plan and buffer zone' His suggestions included the use of native vegetation and. a dryland grass mix for all areas, south of the buildings and.parking areas. These recommendations have been incorporated .in to the revised Landscape Plan and believe these changes will be acceptable to Doug.- 79. The Natural Habitats & Features Buffer zone has been revised and calculations are shown on the Site and the Landscape Plans which show the revised buffer distance and enhancements to better buffer the project from Spring Creek. Because. the revised plan does not exceed the minimum 80% of the. required 3 .70.
