Parkland fees of $813 per dwelling unit would be due at the time of building permit issuance.

For more information regarding these comments, please contact Kevin Westhuis of Light and Power at 221-6700. 5. The Poudre Fire Authority has stated that the unit to the north (containing eight units) is out of access. It was suggested that continuing the drive around, by connecting the two separate drives into one loop, the access problems might be solved. If such a connection is made with gravel surfacing, no parking on this connection would be allowed. A fire hydrant should be placed out on JFK Parkway, at the end of the walkway to/from the community building. A hydrant at this location should be able to serve both rows of townhomes.

It will be necessary to demonstrate how the proposed drainage plans would affect the existing Master Plan model. An off -site drainage easement will be required for drainage to cross the property to the south. With preliminary submittal, it will be necessary to provide a letter of intent to acquire the necessary easement(s). With final submittal, the actual easement dedication will need to be completed and verified: For more information regarding these comments, please contact Glen Schlueter of the Stormwater Utility at 221-6589.
