3. The ornamental trees in the tree lawns around the traffic circle do not
interfere with site distance as described in the latest comments.
4. There is a band of color, patterned concrete around the outside
circumference of the island in the traffic circle.
5. The fencing note has been added as requested.
6. Required improvements to adjacent arterials have been determined
(approximately eight months ago) by Engineering.

streets. If needed, further clarification of phased infrastructure improvements
can be included in the Development Agreement.

constructed with the next portion of construction begun after Phase 1; not
prior to the Vt building permit as indicted in the written comments from Traffic
Operations.
C. Transportation Planning indicated "No Comment"
D. Water/Wastewater indicated "No Comment"
E. Poudre Fire Authority repeated two comments — regarding visibility of address
numerals/letters, and fire lane markings that were addressed on the January 23`d
PDP plans; and added a new comment regarding the numbering of Buildings and
Units in Phase 2. Per my conversation with Ron Gonzales on February 7th, the re-
numbering of townhome units in Phase 2 will be included on the Final Compliance
Plans and Final Plat, not on the PDP and/or Preliminary Plat.
F. Stormwater indicated "No Comment"
G. Engineering comments:

approved site plan for Harvest Park. The applicant for Sage Creek has no
control over further revisions that may have been made to the Harvest Park
Plans; and is aware of none.
2. As noted on the PDP, no direct single family lot access is anticipated from
Corbett Drive. The note — previously requested by Engineering — regarding
possible future consideration of driveway permits for lots 11 and 12, has been
revised.

4. Walks at the townhome access on Corbett have been modified as requested.
5. The Phasing Plan has been revised as per our meeting on February 11`h

plans.

FEB 1 5 2000
Attached are 5 copies of the Sage Creek PDP, revised as appropriate in response to the belated
Staff Comments provided to the applicant on Friday, February 11th. At our meeting with Staff to
discuss the December 23`d comments, Sear -Brown was told that —except for a few specific items
that were to be coordinated directly with individual Staff members - remaining engineering and
drainage issues were to be addressed with the Final Compliance Plans, and that no full PDP
resubmittal was needed. Now we have received a number of comment sheets indicating that
because civil plans were not resubmitted, Site and Landscape Plans were reviewed for civil content.
Please be advised that civil requirements will be met on the Civil Engineer's plans; and the Site and
Landscape Plans are not intended to take the place of the required Utility Plans. Site and Landscape
Plans have been revised with responses to applicable comments as follows:
A. Planning items:
1. A typical cross section showing the trail, berm, and general sanitary sewer
location in the area immediately west of C.R.#9 has been added as requested
to the PDP.
2. Sear -Brown is providing typical trail/bridge cross sections. As with all other
cost sharing infrastructure, financial responsibilities for trails and pedestrian
bridges will be addressed in the development agreement.
3. Tract designations have been checked with the Preliminary Plat, and will be
re -checked with the Final Plat.
4. Phase lines have been adjusted per our meeting on Friday.
5. Landscape notes have been revised as we discussed on Friday.
6. Cross walk locations at the traffic circle have been resolved.
7. The landscaping at the traffic circle does not interfere with site distance
requirements as defined by Traffic Operations.
8. Sidewalk ramps on Corbett have been modified as requested by Engineering.
9. Fencing notes have been added as requested. We have also added a note
that the fence design will meet the L.U.C. Supplement #7 criteria.
10. Labels on street trees along the minor arterials have been corrected.
11. Entries to both Units 71 and 101 are within 200' of street sidewalks.
B. Traffic Operations', comments:
1. Curb and gutter will be installed using the civil Utility Plans, not the PDP Site
Plan. We have shown the geometry provided by Sear -Brown.
2. The east crosswalk at the traffic circle has been corrected.
