LUC Street Pattern Connectivity: Old Mill Road has been realigned. The street pattern proposed meets the specific direction we have most recently been given by City Staff. The attached letter provides justification as requested. The LUC provision regarding private drives is interpreted to mean that private drives may serve Attached and Multi -Family dwellings. Tract areas and uses are noted as requested. The additional lighting detail requested is being provided by Marshall Design, and is being submitted under separate cover. Light levels proposed meet code requirements. Walks and trails shown meet known code requirements, and have been coordinated with Transportation Planning. Please forward LETA comments when available. It is our understanding that this item will not delay the review process for this development. No redlined plans were received from Planning, Zoning, or Transportation Planning. Sear -Brown received redline plans from Engineering and Storm Drainage. We appreciate your assistance in the planning of this project. Please call if you need further information.

Fort Collins, CO 80522 Dear Ron; urban design, inc. 3555 stanford road, suite 105 fort collins, colorado 80525 (970) 226-4074 FAX (970) 226-4196 E-mail: cityscap@frii.com Attached are 16 copies of the Sage Creek PDP, revised in response to the September 29, 1999 Staff Comments, other belated comments, and our subsequent discussions. It would be helpful if the applicant could receive a legible contact name and telephone number for the representatives of review agencies who provide the Revision Comment Sheets" attached to your comment letters. Specific comments from your September 291h letter are addressed as follows: A. Public Service easements have been added to the plat as requested. B. Mapping/Drafting comments affecting the plat are being addressed by Sear -Brown. C. A "Broadband Utility Easement (Service Agreement)" will be secured as required by TCI prior to the provision of cable service. D. Park Planning and Development had no comments. E. Sear -Brown is addressing Traffic Operations' comments regarding the utility plans; and the comment that, "... the T-circle is not accepted until review and acceptance of the circle design plans." F. Streets had no comments. G. Light and Power had no comments. H. A scale has been added to the trash enclosure details as requested by Natural Resources. The gates on the trash enclosures are not difficult to operate, and are needed for screening and control of debris. Details of the drainage outlet structures — meeting City standards - are included with Sear -Brown's utility plans. I. No comments were received from Street Oversizing. J. The townhome buildings have been adjusted so that they meet PFA's current method of determining compliance with the "150' rule"; therefore fire sprinklers are not required. Although not required by code we have adjusted the ends of the townhome parking courts to have a 50' outside radius. As per our discussions with Ron Gonzales, the townhome buildings will be addressed as per the criteria for multi -family buildings. Hydrants are being adjusted by Sear -Brown. Proposed streets that align with existing streets (Corbett Drive, Old Mill Road, and Cornerstone Drive) keep the same name. K. Sear -Brown is addressing Stormwater comments. L. PDP plans have been revised to respond to Engineering Comments. Many of these comments require street widths beyond those required by adopted City Standards, yet there appears to have been no technical review to justify requiring the increased improvements. Although our trafficconsultant has indicated that there is no technical justification requiring any of the streets at Sage Creek to be built to a connector or collector standard; we have agreed to continue to indicate Corbett Drive as a collector; have redesigned Sage Creek Drive east of Corbett as a 42' connector, and have designed Old Mill Road as a 34' local
