23. The site Plan and utility plans do not match, regarding layout and utilities. They
must be consistent.
24. Show dimensions of existing sidewalks on the Site Plan. Also, are they shown on
the utility plans?
25. Any cuts in or repairs to the adjacent streets must meet the new street standards
and guidelines as set forth in the "Choice Streets" booklet that can be acquired
at the Engineering Department.
26. What is the purpose of the proposed traffic circle at the northeast corner of the
property? It appears to be small, so why bother? Is it a raised island? If it is to
remain it should be enlarged and landscaping should be included in the middle,
with traffic calming measures added.
Planning
27. The Somerset Apartments to the east and the Parkway Townhomes to the west
should be labeled on the Site, Landscape and Context Diagram Plans.
28. Who actually owns the property? Who will sign the development agreement and
the subdivision plat as owners?
29. Additional comments are included on a red -lined set of Site, Landscape, and
Building Elevation Plans.
Transportation Planning
30. There should be pedestrian connections between this project and the Somerset
Apartments and Landings Park, with a direct path to the park.
31. There should be enhanced pedestrian crosswalks across the internal driveways
in this project.
32. Will there be another transit stop on this property along northbound JFK
Parkway? Currently there is one on the Home Depot property to the south.
This completes the staff comments at this time. Additional comments will be
forthcoming as they are received from City departments and outside reviewing
agencies.
Under the development review process and schedule there is no revision date

December 23, 1998:
Stormwater
18. The grading plan is not showing how this project is tying into existing contours.
19. Do not use a swale between Buildings D & E, use pipe.
20. The storm sewer next to the sidewalk along JFK Parkway may conflict with Light
& Power and Public Service Company facilities.
21. The inlet on Troutman Parkway may present a sump condition. Check the
overflow condition. This may affect the JFK Senior Apartments property.
Engineering
22. Dedicate additional right-of-way for the adjacent streets. Another 7.5' of right-of-
yay plus a 15' wide utility easement along JFK Parkway is needed on this
property. Another 8.0' of right-of-way plus a 15' wide utility easement along
Troutman Parkway is needed on this property.

8. Doug Martine of the Light & Power Department offered the following
comments:
a. The utility layout does not provide a location to install electric (and
probably gas) lines. A utility coordination meeting is recommended prior to
development approval to coordinate changes to accommodate all utilities.
b. Street tree locations must be flexible to provide 40' minimum clearance to
existing and planned streetlights.
Please contact Doug, at 221-6700, if you have questions about these comments.
9. Matt Baker of the Engineering Department, administering the City's street
oversizing program, stated that street oversizing fees will be based on the trip
generation recommended in the Traffic Study. The fees are estimated to be
$565.57 per dwelling unit.
10. A copy of the Water Conservation Standards for Landscapes - COMMENT
SHEET received from Laurie D'Audney, the City's Utility Education Specialist,
is attached to this letter. Also attached is the general information regarding water
conservation standards for landscaping and irrigation systems.
11. Tim Buchanan, the City Forester, offered comments on a marked -up, reduced
copy of the Landscape Plan (attached). The street tree species must be select
from the attached City's Street Tree List. A copy of the necessary Landscape
Notes (to be on the Landscape Plan) is attached. Please contact Tim, at 221-
6361, if you have questions about his comments.
12. A copy of the comments received from Kathleen Reavis of the Transportation
Planning Department is attached to this letter. A copy of the comments, along
with a red -lined Site Plan, has been forwarded to JR Engineering. Please contact
Kathleen, at 224-6140, if you have questions about her comments.
13. Kim Kreimeyer, the City's Natural Resources Planner, offered the following
comments:
a. Trash enclosures should be designed to incorporate recycling (see
attached).
b. Please utilize only one trash hauler to reduce traffic impacts on -site and
on the surrounding streets.
C. Dust generated from this development must be controlled (see
attachments from Larimer County).
d. Provide building dimensions, building envelope dimensions, and relative
distance to lot lines.
e. Please note that the Final Site Plan, when submitted (if/when this PDP
plan is approved), should not show topography lines.
f. The ground sign locations should not be shown on the Site Plan.
g. The trash enclosure will need to be a separate structure, apart from the
carport. A 9' wide space may be inadequate. Also, the trash enclosure
needs to be screened with landscaping, which cannot happen at this
location. A trash enclosure detail and elevation must be shown. More than
one enclosure is required due to the size of this project.
h. Is the roundabout at the north end really needed? It seems to not have
any function other than to add asphalt/concrete to an already tight site.
j. The Landscape Plan needs to include a planting note that addresses the
fact that no certificates of occupancy can be issued without the completion
of landscaping or financial securement for 125% of the value of the
landscaping.
kk.. Please provide at least 2 or 3 trash enclosures.
/ I.) If these are intended to be apartments for senior citizens, Buildings A & B
are not very accessible from the parking areas, especially for
handicapped individuals. Reconfigure the building placement, i.e.: move
Buildings A & B closer to the parking and move the recreation building
and pool towards the east corner of the property.
M. Carport elevations must be provided for review.
n. The majority of the information on Sheets 2 & 3 of the Landscape Plan (all
of the notes, etc.) is not needed for review with the PDP submittal (see
red -lined copies being forwarded to the applicant).
o. Note #6 on the Site Plan says the parking stalls are 9'x17', but the plans
says they are 18' deep. Which is it?
Please contact Jenny, Peter, or Gary at 221-6760 if you have questions about
these comments.
5. A copy of the comments from Sharon Getz of the Building Inspection
Department is attached to this letter.
6. Ron Gonzales of the Poudre Fire Authority offered the following comments:
a. A fire lane is required through this site. This fire lane shall be visible by
painting and signage, and maintained unobstructed. A fire lane plan shall
be submitted for approval prior to installation. All buildings are out of
access and are required to be fire sprinklered.
b. Address numerals shall be visible from the street fronting the property,
and posted with a minimum of 6" numerals on a contrasting background
(example: bronze numerals on a brown brick are not acceptable).
C. Fire hydrants are required with a maximum spacing of 600' along an
approved roadway. Each hydrant must be capable of delivering 1,000
gallons of water per minute at a residual pressure of 20 psi. Hydrants shall
be of an approved type as defined by the water department and the fire
department. No commercial building can be greater than 300' from a fire
hydrant. Additional hydrants are required on -site due to spacing.
d. The turn -about entrance radius off of Troutman Parkway is too short. It is
required to be a 40' radius to accommodate access for fire department
apparatus to the site.
Please contact Ron, at 221-6570, if you have questions about these comments.
7. Representatives of the Zoning Department offered the following comments:
a. The carports appear partially within the access, utility, and drainage
easement. As structures, carports are not permitted there. The easement
line will need to be readjusted or the carports will have to be shifted.
maximum of 76 parking spaces are allowed for the office uses and 78 are
shown on the Site Plan.
Carports facing one another, as do the ones to the north, will need to
l/ have at least a 28' to 30' wide drive aisle separation if the carports have
dividers between each stall.
C. Alternative compliance for parking cannot be requested for
residential uses. The only uses allowed to request alternative
compliance are non-residential, institutional, and recreational [Section
3.2.2(K)(4) of the LUC]. This project requires 114 parking spaces, based
on the number of bedrooms per dwelling unit, and only 79 are being
provided.

Dear Janine,
Staff has reviewed your documentation for the JFK SENIOR APARTMENTS, Project
Development Plan (PDP) development proposal that was submitted to the City on
November 25, 1998, and would like to offer the following comments:
1. This development proposal, being in the HC - Harmony Corridor Zoning District,
is identified as a Planning and Zoning Board (Type II) review under the City's
Land Use Code (LUC). Residential uses are permitted uses subject to a Type II
review in the District.
2. Dennis Greenwalt of TCI of Fort Collins (cable television) stated that they will
not make plans to service this area until a broadband utility easement (also
called a service agreement) is completed with their Commercial Accounts
Executive, Reneta Santoro, who may be reached at 970-493-7400 from 8 a.m. to
5 p.m., Monday through Friday. The sooner they have this the greater the
opportunity to go joint trench with another utility.
3. A copy of the comments received from Susan Peterson of U.S. West is attached
to this letter.
4. Jim Slagle of Public Service Company (gas service provider) offered the
following comments:
a. PSC has an existing 4" steel gas line in the middle of the 8' wide utility
easement along JFK Parkway. The proposed storm drain cannot occupy
the same space. It will have to go somewhere else.
b. No trees can be planted within the 8' wide utility easement or within 4'
(horizontally) of gas lines.
