5) The following comments apply to the Low Density, Mixed -Use Neighborhood (LMN)
District (LUC Section 4.4):
a) Please provide illustrative examples of the single --family dwelling elevations, since
they shall comply with Section 4.4(D)(2)(a)-(d).
b) Please clarify what is meant by optional playground?
6) LUC Street Pattern Connectivity:
a) Sections 3.6.2, 3.6.3 and 4.4 imply that it is in the public's best interest to have
neighborhoods which transition and link to surrounding neighborhoods with a
unifying pattern of streets and blocks. The proposed street system (Saddle Creek
Drive, Middle Creek Road, Temple Creek Road, and Grist Mill Road) is not
representative of direct connections to and between local destinations (LUC 3.6.3(B)
and (F)). The alignment of Grist Mill into Sage Creek Road represents and forms a
barrier and does not contribute to an orderly street system of the neighborhood.
This development has not demonstrated that a street layout meeting Code standard
is infeasible. It appears that realigning Old Mill Road to connect directly with
Country Main (Harvest Park PDP #25-98A) is needed to meet this Land Use Code
standard (see Transportation Planning, Stormwater, Engineering, and Poudre Fire
Authority comments).
b) LUC Section 3.6.3(A)-(F) requires that the local street system provide multiple direct
connections at intervals not to exceed six hundred sixty (660) feet to provide a street
grid pattern of through streets to facilitate traffic movements.
bb. The Code requires a minimum of four potential roadway connections to the north
(an additional two), and one road connection to the west. As noted in prior
discussions, staff would support a minimum of two (2) street connections and
two (2) bike/pedestrian connections. But, the burden is with the applicant to
provide a written justification for alternative compliance (see Engineering,
Stormwater, Poudre Fire Authority comments).
c. Single-family attached dwellings shall meet the provisions of 3.6.2(L). The
Statement of Planning Objectives — April 20, 1999, identified the six-plex units as
multi -family buildings; however, they are single-family attached dwellings. The type
of structure impacts Poudre Fire Authority's ability to adequately service the
structures (see attached Poudre Fire Authority comments).
7) Please clarify on the plans: the square footages of Tracks A, B, C, and the use and
square footage of D.
8) Provide a detailed lighting plan for the multi -family dwellings (spec. sheet for all wall and
pole mounted fixtures) insuring that all lighting apparatuses are shielded down, which
meets Sections 3.2.2 and 3.2.4(A) — (D).
9) According to Section 3.2.4(D)(7) a maximum of 10 foot-candles is allowed at any single
point as result of on -site lighting. According to Section 3.2.4(D)(8) of the Land Use
Code, lighting levels shall not exceed 0.1 foot-candle at a point 20 feet beyond the
a
e) What are the actual parking lot landscape percentages as required per Section
3.2.2(M) and Section 3.2.1(E)(4) — (6). 3.2.2(B)(5)(a) walkways shall have one (1)
canopy shade tree per forty (40) lineal feet of walkways planted in a landscape strip
within five (5) feet of such walkway.
f) Address all visual clearance and sight distance triangle areas per Section 3.2.1(L.) of
the Land Use Code.
g) According to Section 3.2.2(C)(3) (4) site amenities such as benches, bike racks, et
cetera must be provided. Please show all site amenities in the respective track
parks and the neighborhood park.
h) Section 3.2.2(C)(5), 3.2.2(D) and Section 3.2.2(E) requires that six-foot walkways
within the site provide direct well-defined and separated circulation routes for
vehicles, bicycles, and pedestrians. Additional walkway connections should be
placed between the garages to link the parking areas.
i) Per Section 3.2.2(C)(5)(a) drive aisles shall have walkways adjacent to the aisles
(please coordinate with Transportation Planning).
j) Please clarify the discrepancies with the Plant List, since the Landscape Plan
references trees which are not identified on the Plant List, such TCG on Sheet 6 of
9.
k) Please delineate the ditch banks and channels, as noted in Natural Resources
comments.
1) The foundation planting plan (Sheet-5 of 9) did not show the proposed evergreen
and deciduous shrubs, please clarify.
m) Show all fence locations.
n) Enhanced cross -walks shall be accommodated at street crossings (please
coordinate with Transportation Planning and Engineering).
4) The following comments apply to the architectural elevations:
a) Scaled design elevations for the office and/or daycare center, picnic pavilion, et
cetera need to be submitted and must be compatible with the overall development
based upon Land Use Code standards.
b) Land Use Code Sections 3.5.1(D); 3.5.2 (C)(1); and, 3.5.2(C)(2); requires to the
maximum extent feasible, primary facades and entries face the adjacent street and
have a direct pedestrian connection to the street without requiring all pedestrians to
walk through parking lots or cross driveways with no primary entrance more than
200 feet from a street sidewalk (please note Transportation Planning comments).
c) Please indicate all building colors on the Building Elevations in accordance with
Section 3.5.1(G) of the Land Use Code.

least eight (8) feet away from the edges of driveways and alleys, and forty feet
(shade trees)/fifteen feet (ornamental trees) (LUC 3.2.1(K) from any street light.
aa) All street trees shall be shown as they relate to driveway locations and utilities to
ensure compliance with the Land Use Code, see also the Street Design Manual
(D-9) in regard to driveway locations.

provided in accordance with Section 3.2.1(D)(3) of the Land Use Code.

that trees be provided at a ratio of one (1) tree per twenty-five (25) lineal feet along
a public street.

addresses the need to screen parking areas.
