Sincerely, *Seve Olt Project Planner cc: Engineering/Sheri Wamhoff Water & Wastewater/Roger Buffington Zoning/Peter Barnes Stormwater Parks Planning/Janet Meisel Transportation Planning/Kathleen Reavis Sear -Brown Group Shear Engineering Jim Sell Design Wonderland Hill Development File 7. The public street on the Landscape Plan is referred to as both Mason Court (Plant Note 13) and Fat Tire Lane. Mason Court would be more appropriate since it aligns with Mason Street, to the south of Cherry Street. 8. Additional landscape buffering should be provided along the north property line between the single family homes, the co -housing homes and the park. 9. A permit for the public street and utilities crossings over the railroad must be secured from the railroad company prior to this development request going to the Planning and Zoning Board for approval. 10. An easement for the potential future sidewalk connection from the retail/commercial building to Cherry Street should be dedicated with the subdivision plat. General comments: 11. The Site Plan notes responsibility for maintenance of Tracts A through E. Who is responsible for maintenance of Tract F - Public Access, Utility, and Drainage Easement in the northwest corner of the development? Also, what is the reference to Master Association and Associations "A", "B", and "C"? 12. There is a note in the southerly portion of the parking lot for the retail/commercial/residential building that states "Temporary parking lot until commercial building is built". What does this refer to? 13. The Site and Landscape Plans should be consistent regarding the designation of Parcels 'A' through 'D', identifying the different elements of the development. The Site Plan does not reference these parcels. 14. The word "easement" is misspelled in Plant Note 10 on the Landscape Plan. It is shown as Limited Common Easmen (LCE). 15. A third Hackberry should be included on the east side of the co -housing parking lot next to the single family Lot 10, spaced 40' north of the Hackberry as shown. 16. If the project is to be phased, Plant Note 8 on the Landscape Plan should address that regarding the timing on the installing or escrowing of the landscape. 17. A copy of a red -lined Landscape Plan, with comments from Advance Planning, is enclosed with to this letter. This completes the staff comments at this time. Additional comments will be forthcoming as they are received from City departments and outside reviewing agencies. 3. The Zoning Department has offered the following comments: a. If garages on Lots 2 - 10 are attached then they are duplexes instead of single family structures, assuming there's a loft apartment above the garage. b. You need to show building dimensions and distances to the nearest property line on the Site Plan. If it's a building envelope it still needs dimensions. Permits will not be issued until this is done. C. Do not show the construction building on the Site Plan. It's assumed that there will be a temporary construction building. d. Label specific building types for the co -housing on the Site Plan. Based on the footprints on the Site Plan, there are 6 or 7 different types of buildings. The tabulation on Sheet A2 shows only 4 types. This information is needed to tabulate parking needs for the co -housing. e. The Landscape Plan mentions "phases" of development. The Site Plan should show these phases. f. The single family lots show street trees. They will need to be escrowed by the developer if not installed by time of issuance of certificates of occupancy. g. Show ramps for the handicapped parking. Please contact Gary, Jenny, or Peter at 221-6760 if you have questions about these comments. The following comments were expressed at the staff review meeting on October St.: 4. Have the issues regarding the drainage around the retail building, at the southeast corner of the development, and the drainage swale around the restroom building in the park been resolved? The drainage swale design should be coordinated with Parks & Recreation and Natural Resources. 5. The required drainage easement through the park needs to go to City Council for approval prior to this development request going to the Planning and Zoning Board for approval. 6. The water main location south of the commercial building may not work. Community Planning and Environmental Services Current Planning City of Fort Collins October 8, 1997 Mikal Torgerson M.

The following comments were received from affected City departments and outside reviewing agencies: 1. Rusty Guyton of TCI of Fort Collins (cable television) has stated that since this development contains multi -dwelling units, the owners association must provide TCI of Fort Collins with a broadband utility easement before construction of telecommunication lines may begin.

Janet Meisel of the Parks Planning Department offered the following comments: a.

This drive must remain open at all times that the park or farm is open for public access. b. Revisions to off -site drainage easements through the park need to occur prior to dedication. C. The City Parks & Recreation Department will want the developer to salvage the existing swing gate at the trail (Fat Tire Lane) and any fence along the park perimeter by the single family lots. d.
