Box 580 Ft. Collins, Colorado 80524 Re: Howes Street Hideaways H Lot 11, Block 105, Harrison's Addition; Fort Collins, Colorado Dear Leanne, This is a response to certain Conceptual Review comments dated October 27, 1997. They are primarily Stormwater Utility related and supplement the Conceptual Review comment response provided by Pinecrest Planning and Design. 2. Stormwater Utility a. See response by Pinecrest Planning and Design. b. The Final Drainage and Erosion Control Report has been been prepared by Shear Engineering Corporation. The report was prepared as an amendment to the Final Drainage and Erosion Control Report prepared for Howes Street Hideaways and complies with Old Town Master Plan requirements. c. Water quality will be considered in the final design as a requirement of the new Stormwater Criteria Manual. d. Offsite easements will be considered for the property immediately adjacent to this site. However, there are several properties in this basin which accept offsite stormwater runoff historically and it is unreasonable to expect offsite easements for properties which are affected by more than this single property. If you have questions, or require further information on any item, please call at (970) 226-5334. Sincerely Brian W. Shear, P.E.

Current Planning Department a. Under the new Land Use Code (in effect March 28) you will have to submit a project development plan. The project development plan will generally specify the uses of the land, the layout of landscaping, circulation, architectural elevations, and building and preliminary plat.

The submittal requirements are attached, and when you are ready to submit, please call Dana Goode at 221-6750 to schedule a submittal meeting. ■ The submittal has been prepared under the new Land Use Code and it is a combined Project Development Plan (PDP) and Final Compliance Review submittal.

An area of Notification Map is attached. ■ The Affected Property Owners list was prepared using the area of notification map supplied by the Current Planning Department. c.
