Department: PFA Contact: Jim Lynxwiler, 970-416-2869, ilynxwiler@poudre-fire.org Topic: General Comment Number: 1 Comment Originated: 12/10/2015 12/10/2015: GENERAL FIRE ACCESS Fire access to within 150' of all exterior portions of every building is a measurement along the path of hose lay and not as an arch from a single access point. Fire access was consequently labeled inappropriately on the Emergency Access Plan. RESIDENTIAL BUILDINGS: Further evaluation of the site plan shows fire access having been met for all residential buildings except two (Buildings 13 15), which are out of access by approximately 55' & 70' respectively. As the buildings will be equipped with a fire sprinkler system, those distances are determined to be within acceptable limits and no changes are required. GARAGES: Fire access to within 150' of all exterior portions of the garage units along the north property line has not been achieved and the limits of the fire lane will need to be adjusted to accommodate this need. Code language provided below. > IFC 503.1.1: Approved fire Lanes shall be provided for every facility, building or portion of a building hereafter constructed or moved into or within the jurisdiction. The fire apparatus access road shall comply with the requirements of this section and shall extend to within 150 feet of all portions of the facility and all portions of the exterior walls of the first story of the building as measured by an approved route around the exterior of the building or facility. When any portion of the facility or any portion of an exterior wall of the first story of the building is located more than 150 feet from fire apparatus access, the fire code official is authorized to increase the dimension if the building is equipped throughout with an approved, automatic fire -sprinkler system. Comment Number: 2 Comment Originated: 12/10/2015 12/10/2015: AERIAL FIRE APPARATUS ACCESS Buildings over 30' in height, as defined by code, require wider fire lanes aerial fire apparatus. The preliminary plans suggest that some building heights may be at or possibly over the 30' threshold. The project team is asked to review the building heights with respect to the fire code and provide further clarity that code requirements are being met. Code language provided below or see 2012 IFC Appendix D for further information. AERIAL FIRE APPARATUS ACCESS ROADS - WHERE REQUIRED > IFC D105.1: Where the vertical distance between the grade plane and the highest roof surface exceeds 30 feet, approved aerial fire apparatus access roads shall be provided. For purposes of this section, the highest roof surface shall be determined by measurement to the eave of a pitched roof, the intersection of the roof to the exterior wall, or the top of parapet walls, whichever is greater. AERIAL FIRE APPARATUS ACCESS ROADS - WIDTH > IFC D105.2; FCLUC 3.6.2(B)2006; and Local Amendments: Aerial fire apparatus access roads shall have a minimum unobstructed width of 30 feet, Department: Light And Power Contact: Todd Vedder, 970-224-6152, tvedder@fcgov.com Topic: General Comment Number: 1 Comment Originated: 12/14/2015 12/14/2015: Please contact Light & Power Engineering if you have any questions at 221-6700.

However, we have not received the wetland/upland mitigation monitoring report for the overall site and we are concerned that some of Filing 4 may account for the 31.12 acres of compensatory native upland habitat, as required from previous filings. Please schedule a meeting with Cedar Creek and the City to determine a monitoring schedule and submit at least the project location map and project history summary portions of the monitoring report. 4 Comment Number: 8. comment Originated: 12/16/2015 12/16/2015: Staff remains concerned that small pockets of amenities are not distributed throughout the project. In the response to the Conceptual Review comments, the applicant emphasizes the quality of the central clubhouse, pool, outdoor kitchen, garden and the like. While these features are indeed laudable, on an overall basis, the project lacks the small-scale "city comfort" like features that need not be as extensive but would add a quality aspect if distributed to the more remote areas of the project. As discussed at the project review meeting, the team indicated that the overall intent of this comment can be addressed. Comment Number: 9. Comment Originated: 12/18/2015 12/18/2015: On the Site Plan sheets, please add labels as suggested on the redlines.

Comment Originated: 12/18/2015 12/18/2015: On the architectural sheet A4.1 C, for the "C" buildings, is there any concern that for the eight buildings arrayed in sequence, there is no distinguishing feature along the front elevations? While duplexes are not considered multi -family and not subject to the Variety Among Buildings standard, Staff is concerned that the arrangement appears repetitious, especially with the front doors being placed on the side elevations. Has the team considered introducing a variety of porch roofs, materials, columns, colors, etc. to provide a visual break among the eight buildings?

Add a note that states this tract is part of the project and plat, but no development is happening in the area or show an overall sheet with the plat boundaries. There are areas. There are three new proposed storm pipes that will be affecting this tract. 3 is attached to six feet. We discussed increasing the number of trees, perhaps by adding Ornamental Trees that are closely spaced with Street Trees. We discussed adding foundation shrubs as well. Comment Number: 2. Comment Originated: 12/16/2015 12/16/2015: As mentioned at Conceptual Review, eight of the C buildings are not well connected to the sidewalks on Calabrese. While two walkways are provided to Nancy Gray, these are located to the rear of the units and will not likely be used on a daily basis. At either end, both Buildings 23 and 16 can be provided with direct sidewalks to Calabrese. Please explore other opportunities to break the rows of surface and garage parking to provide walkway connections between the C buildings and Calabrese. These connections should tie more closely to the units and not the attached garages. As discussed at the review meeting, various options will be explored and the landscaping adjusted accordingly such that the overall intent of this comment can be addressed.. Comment Number: 3. Comment Originated: 12/16/2015 12/16/2015: Staff is concerned that, as designed, the project may fall short of complying with Section 3.8.30(F)(2) — Variation Among Buildings. The differences between the A and B buildings are rather subtle, particularly with regard to their building footprints. Please note that the standard clearly states that "building designs shall be considered similar unless they vary significantly in footprint size and shape." With both containing 24 units, their footprints do not vary significantly. Comment Number: 4. Comment Originated: 12/16/2015 12/16/2015: If the A and B building footprints do not vary significantly, then building variety may have to be achieved by other means. Please review Section 3.8.30(F)(2) to find other opportunities to comply with the standard. Comment Number: 5. Comment Originated: 12/16/2015 12/16/2015: For example, for Buildings A and B, the breezeway entrances are not differentiated. Please consider establishing a variety of distinctive entrances, and or entry features, that will contribute to variety among buildings. As discussed at the review meeting, perhaps one solution would be to create a menu of distinctive options (six?) that can then be distributed among the various buildings such that no two are in sequence. These options can be assigned on a per building basis such that an entire new set of architectural elevations do not have to be prepared. Comment Number: 6. Comment Originated: 12/16/2015 12/16/2015: Please note that Section 3.5 requires a land use transition between different housing types. For this project, a land use transition occurs along the backside of the "C" buildings and their garages. In order to provide for high quality transition, please provide shrub beds behind the "C'building garages. Comment Number: 7. Comment Originated: 12/16/2015 12/16/2015: Where the connecting walkway is provided to Nancy Gray, be sure to note that any side yard fencing along the two single family lots that front on Nancy Gray must be reduced to no more than four feet in height from the from front building line to the property line for sight distance. If these lots are not under the control of the applicant, then Staff will review at the time of application for building permits.

Comment Summary: Department: Planning Services Contact: Ted Shepard, 970-221-6343, tshepard@fcgov.com Topic: General Comment Number: 1. Comment Originated: 12/16/2015 12/16/2015: Staff is concerned about the condition where the parallel parking along the Street Like Private Drives causes the elimination of the parkways and result in attached sidewalks. This design diminishes the quality of the S.L.P.D4s. The original intention of the S.L.P.D. was to allow for a degree of flexibility where providing a public street to serve the interior of a large multi -family development would not be practical. As an alternative to a public street, the S.L.P.D. was established to promote the fundamental principle that buildings should face streets and not internal parking lot drive aisles. But, in order for the overall design principle to be implemented, the "street -like" features need to be included to contribute to the project becoming part of the neighborhood and the City and not an isolated complex of buildings. In order to mitigate the proposed design, several ideas were discussed at the project review meeting. All of these ideas have merit. As mentioned, there may be practical and aesthetic reasons to not moving the sidewalk closer to the buildings in order to create a parkway. We discussed possibly reducing the number of parallel parking spaces. We discussed, widening the walk where it
