Reynolds Park Engineering Project File 1...: Advance Plannina 12. The proposed land uses will determine the calculations to be included in the transportation impact study. Current Planning 13. Is Parcel B too big? Maybe it should be broken up into smaller, multiple parcels. 14. The scale of the ODP should be enlarged to provide a larger map. 15. The Poudre River floodplain should be shown on the CDP. 16. Setbacks for development and buffering from Timberline Road will be critical at time of PDP submittal. 17. Conceptual locations/alignments for bicycle/pedestrian path connections through and to this site should be shown on the ODP. Natural Resources 18. Refer to the purchase agreement for information on setback requirements between development and the wetlands/natural areas/lakes and access to these areas. Engineering 19. Due to the potential floodplain impacts on this property, is the ODP (initiating development) premature? 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 mandated by the City. The amount of time spent on revisions is up to the applicant.

At this staff review meeting the item will be discussed and it will be determined if the project is ready to go to the Planning and Zoning Board for a decision. If so, will be scheduled for the nearest Board hearing date with an opening on the agenda. 6. Ken Jackson of Police Dispatch stated that if the circle drive is to be named then they want to review the proposed street name prior to approval of the project. This is to avoid duplication or similarity (sound alike) of street names, which could create a problem for emergency response times. 7. Kim Kreimeyer, the City's Natural Resource Planner, indicated that the applicant should refer to the language in the purchase agreement for the necessary buffer distances. 8.
