This letter of intent must be provided to the City no later than May 181' 12. The grading plan for this development plan apparently will affect the Post Office, to the west. An off -site grading easement would be needed from the Post Office. At least a letter of intent from them, if necessary, must be provided to the City no later than May 181h 3. The Current Planning Department comments are on red -lined plans that are being forwarded to the applicant. Please see comments and marked -up documents from Clark Mapes of the Advance Planning Department that are being forwarded to the applicant.. 4. Jim Slagle of Public Service Company offered the following comments: a. The electric line on the north side of Buildings A & B needs to move to the north so that there is a 4' separation between gas and electric. This can be accomplished during construction. b. The electric line between Buildings 4 & D needs to move south so that there is a 4' separation between gas and electric. This can be accomplished during construction. C. The legend on Sheet 4 of 11 of the Utility Plans has the electric and gas symbols transposed. Please contact Jim, at 225-7843, if you have questions about these comments. 5. A copy of the comments received from Donald Dustin of the Stormwater Utility is attached to this comment letter. See the red -lined copies of the drainage report and utility plans for additional comments. Please contact Donald, at 221- 2053, if you have questions about his comments. 6. A copy of the comments received from Marc Virata of the Engineering Department is attached to this comment letter. See red -lined copies of the Site Plan, Landscape Plan, and utility plans for additional comments. Please contact Marc, at 221-6750, if you have questions about his comments. 7. Clark Mapes of the Advance Planning Department stated that the applicant should provide connecting walkways as defined, and as previously discussed, to Buildings A, B, & F. Or, if not, then: Buildings A, B, & F need their own modification request for the connecting walkway standards. The rationale for the "back" buildings does not apply to these three. Connecting walkways have been suggested and discussed in all previous rounds of review. Staff has suggested sidewalk connections on the street side, fitting with the whole approach of the LUC. It looks like the request should explain why it's "as good or better" not to have connecting walkways, as defined, as it is to have them. Please contact Clark, at 221-6225, if you have questions about this comment.

The Larimer Canal #2 Ditch Company stated that they have no objection to the plans as presented. 2. Jenny Nuckols of the Zoning Department offered the following comments: a. The 8 residential parking spaces to the north of the Carriage House will need to be signed as residential, with raised signs, since they are really located in what is/will be perceived as the lot for the office buildings. b. The Building Elevations do not show any building -mounted lighting. If proposed, the lighting must be shown on the elevations. C. The trash enclosures need to be gated (as set forth in Section 3.5.1(J)(2) of the Land Use Code (LUC)). The wording in General Note #11 on the Site Plan seems to indicate that gates are optional. d. Remove the topography lines from the Final Site Plan (and maybe Landscape Plan) to be recorded, when submitted. e. Plant Note #5 on the Landscape Plan needs to be changed to read "...value of landscaping and installation prior to...".
