8. The Poudre Fire Authority offered the following comments:
a. Maintain at least a 24' wide street throughout the site, not half.20' and half
24.
b. There are no provisions for parking on 20' wide streets and the City is unable
to police "No Parking Restrictions".
C. The 20' wide street, if accepted by the City, must be marked a "Fire Lane"
and the curbs painted red.
9. The Light & Power Department has stated that the electric meters will need to be
stacked on the east end of the buildings so that the power can come directly off of
JFK Parkway to these clusters and not have to go through the site.
Note: There are many problems with going through this site and L & P feels that a
utility coordination is needed.
10. The comments from the Water/Wastewater Department have been forwarded to
your engineer on red -lined utility plans and to you on a red -lined Landscape Plan.
11. The Parks & Recreation Department has stated that your local neighborhood park
is Landings Park located to the east of this development on Boardwalk Drive.
12. The Natural Resources Division has offered the following comments:
a. The area between the canal and the drive could be given more landscaping
and should be planted in more native shrub and tree species, i.e.
Chokecherry, Wild Plum, and Peachleaf Willow.
b. The trash enclosure should include an area for recycling.
c. Please install a bicycle rack in front of the community building.
13. A copy of the comments received from the Stormwater Utility is attached to this
letter.
14. A copy of the comments. received from the Engineering Department is attached
to this letter.
15. There is confusion about what plan sheets were received, i.e. There are two Sheet
No. 1 of 2 - Preliminary and Final Site Plan and no (official) Landscape Plan.
Probably one sheet needs to be renumbered and renamed. This completes the
review comments at this time. Additional comments may be forthcoming as the
various departments and reviewing agencies continue to review this request.

Staff has reviewed your documents for the Parkway Townhomes PUD, Preliminary and
Final that were submitted to the City on March 18, 1996, and would like to offer the
following comments:
1. Columbine CableVision has stated that they would like to see the areas outside
of the building envelopes as utility, drainage and access easements. Also, the plat
map shows an 8' utility easement along JFK Parkway but the Site Plan shows a 12'
utility easement. Which one is it?
2. A copy of the comments received from U.S. West is attached to this letter.
3. Public Service Company has stated that in order for both gas and electric facilities
to be installed behind pavement, the minimum distance from the rear edge of
pavement to the rear line of the front lot utility easement must be 13'. Present plans
do not provide this much utility easement. This will force gas or electric facilities to
be installed in areas to be paved, resulting in additional cost to the developer.
4. The Larimer Canal No.2 Ditch Company has stated that they met with the owner
of the development and discussed the use of the ditch right-of-way. At that time it
was not decided how the ROW was going to be used. If the ROW is not going to be
used for a common road then they need to see grading plans for the road. A signed
agreement between the ditch company and this developer is required.
5. The Zoning Department stated that the plat name should designate that it is a
PUD.
6. A copy of the comments received from the Building Inspection Department is
attached to this letter.
7. The Police Services Department stated that it is important to have good security
lighting for the parking lots and buildings. Also, make sure that the addresses and
building numbers are easily readable.
