It is our view that we meet the requirements and the spirit of the LUC garage door standards provisions. Please note furthermore, that while this innovative plan provides a garage for every residential unit, only 25% of such garages front on and impact the courtyard. This is consistent with our goal of creating an attractive courtyard, vehicle way, pedestrian way, hardscape, landscape area that is aesthetically pleasing. 14. Building Height. No buildings more than 40 ft. high. 15. Courtyard Parking Space Demarcation. Demarcation of the parking spaces will be achieved by use of a triple scored line (3 scored lines parallel to each other). This is a) more aesthetic and long lasting than ugly painted lines, b) provides adequate parking space demarcation for residents and guests to see where to park, and c) is consistent with the aesthetics and character of the courtyard. 16. All other matters raised in the comments and the red lines have been addressed and resolved. Resolutions will be reflected in the utility plan, plat, drainage plan report, site plan, landscape plan, elevation sheet, various detail sheets, and/or otherwise. M We respectfully request that staff and various departments review this submittal, our third revision, as expeditiously as possible, and set this PUD for consideration by Planning & Zoning ASAP. If there are any matters which need to be addressed, please call me immediately and we will resolve them and/or agree to a condition which covers them. Our goal at this time is to move quickly to P&Z. Thank you for your assistance in bringing this exciting project to fruition.

Residential Pedestrian Walkways. Sidewalks have been straightened at both entrances and ramps adjusted as requested. Additional ramps have been added wherever necessary throughout the project. Pedestrian walkways at both residential entrances are aligned more intuitively with the courtyard. Alternative pedestrian access to the project from Landings has been enhanced. While it is impossible because of the grades involved to eliminate all steps in all pedestrian walkways, we have modified the design to incorporate pedestrian walkways from the residential courtyard around each end of the island of four residential buildings to the driveway at the rear. A sidewalk has been added to the south side of the office portion of the project to complete the office sidewalk loop as requested. 7. Name Change. All future revisions and documentation will reflect the change of the name of the development from Courtyard Commons to Landings Bay. 8. Utilities Coordination. Numerous meetings have been held with engineers at all utilities. In addition, a utility coordination meeting was held to finalize and fine tune the coordination of utilities. Building envelope corners shall all be staked in advance of any utility work. A colored utility coordination plan is included with this resubmittal. 9. Blanket Utility Easement. A blanket utility easement shall be granted and reflected on the plat for the entire area of the project excluding building envelopes. 10. Pedestrian Refuge. A pedestrian refuge has been designed as per the design parameters of Engineering and Transportation and will be installed in the middle of the crosswalk which crosses JFK from our project to Bockman. 11. Residential Entrances. Islands have been pulled back to the edge of the new street right of way and each access drive (one on each side of the island) has been increased to 18 ft. wide as requested and required by Poudre Fire Authority. 12. Fire. We met with Poudre Fire Authority and will meet all requirements relating to access drive width, turning radiuses, hydrant locations, distance requirements, fire lane signage, etc. All residential buildings will be sprinklered. FB Q 3 lggg February 2, 1999 Steve Olt, Project Planner City of Fort Collins, Planning Dept, P- O. Box 580 Fort Collins, CO 80522 Re: Response to Landings Bay Comments dated January 8, 1999 Dear Steve: In response to your comments: Modification. We understand that staff supports our request for a modification of the 25% maximum residential and commercial/retail (office) uses as per Section 4.22(d)(1) of the LUC standards in order to permit the residential and office uses proposed in Landings Bay PUD. 2. Larimer County Canal #2. All matters relating to the ditch company easement and access have been resolved and our proposed PUD is in compliance with all ditch company requirements. It is intended that on occasion, the ditch company drive across and/or on the pedestrian walkway located in the ditch company easement. 3. Trash Enclosures. Additional trash enclosures have been added and all trash enclosures shall incorporate recycling. 4. Existing Detention Pond. The existing detention pond is properly sized to handle storm drainage from this development and is located on site. It has wetland vegetation in it. Our plan is to not disturb the established habitat and vegetation in this drainage pond in any way except relating to the required modifications shown on the utility plans including storm drainage inlets and overflow enhancements requested by City. 5. Storm Water. Storm water will be handled as per the utility plans with the modifications requested by Storm Water Dept. Furthermore, as agreed, Storm Water will not require the small storm drainage line along the ditch banking because of a) the very small amount of storm water volume included in the related storm water basins, b) the practical difficulties of trying to make this storm water flow uphill to the detention pond, and c) 3307 South College Avenue, Suite 200, Fort Collins, CO 80525 • (970) 226-5000 • Fax (970) 226-5125
