Comment: There currently seems to be a disconnect between these utility plans and the infrastructure plans. A meeting is needed between Jim Allen - Morley and various City departments (engineering, stormwater and water/wastewater). Response: Acknowledged. This meeting has already been held. We believe that we have satisfactorily responded to all comments. Please contact me if you have any additional comments or concerns at (970) 495-6353. Sincerely Robert J.

Please include this path on subsequent submittals. Suggestion; this path could be shared with the temporary fire lane if the lane is paved and a connection to the lane is made from Snow Mesa. Response: See response to Item #1 above. The path is shown as 5' wide. 3. Comment: The applicant response to the previous comment mentioned that they will provide a traffic study addendum to address this comment. The addendum has not yet been received. Response: We are under the understanding that, because the road is now going though, that this addendum to the traffic study is not necessary. 4. Please clarify; will the private drive leading to the existing PVH campus be constructed with this project? Response: Yes, the private drive will be constructed to connect the Primary Care Plaza to the existing medical facility. Water Wastewater (Jeff Hill, 221-6700, jhill(5fcgov.com) 1. Comment: Call out all fittings, thrust blocks, gate valves, sizes of lines/services, manholes, etc. Response: This will be done with final compliance plans. 2. Comment: Provide all appropriate standard detail on the next submittal. Response: This will be done with final compliance plans. 3. Comment: Clearly define the abandonment procedure for the existing 12- inch water main. Response: This will be done with final compliance plans. 4. Comment: Could the water main located on the north edge of this development be reduced from and 8-inch to a 6-inch for water quality? Response: Per previous discussions this water line will remain an 8-inch diameter. 5. Comment: Place all fire hydrants within 5 feet of a paved surface. No water services are permitted beyond the last fire hydrant on a water main. Response: Comment noted, and will comply. 6. Comment: Provide profiles for all 12-inch and larger water lines as well as sanitary sewer lines. Response: This is shown on the Infrastructure Plans. PVH Harmony Primary Care PDP Responses 4 30 04 Page 4 of 5 PVHS Harmony Campus Primary Care Plaza April 30, 2004 PDP Review Comments 1. Comment: Will evaluate landscape, lighting, surveillance at FCP. Response: Acknowledged. Stormwater Utility (Basil Hamdan, bhamdan(&fcgov.com) 1. Comment: No drainage report was submitted. Was this to be handled by the report associated with the infrastructure plans? At a minimum a small report should still be submitted covering the local drainage infrastructure such as the pipe in the parking lot, the temporary pipe at the turn -around the size of the swale and the erosion control measures associated with this facility. Rob Zakely still expects an erosion control plan and report to be submitted for this site. Response: We have written a drainage report and addressed the erosion control in a general statement. This will be finalized at final Compliance. 2. Comment: The grading plan that was submitted was taken from the infrastructure plan. Please submit a grading and drainage plan for this project at a scale limited to the scope of this project. A separate exhibit for the off -site swale can be provided showing how the drainage will get from this site to the large pond on the southeast corner of the PVH campus. Response: A Grading sheet has been added with specific grading for the site. 3. Comment: Please clarify what portion of the pond will be built with this Primary Care facility. The current plans indicate that a portion of the pond would be constructed with this facility however does not provide a grading plan for that phase 1 pond design. Response: This is addressed in the PVHS Infrastructure plans and not a portion of this work. Transportation Planning (Tom Reiff, 221-6608, treiff@fcgov.com) 1. Comment: Is the path planned to be integrated with the temporary emergency access road? If it is please identify it on all plan sets and make sure the temporary road is accessible to bikes and pedestrians. This will most likely require a ramp or driveway cut and a sidewalk connection. Response: The emergency access road is no longer needed as and extension of Snow Mesa Dr. and Timber wood Drive will be constructed in a temporary condition. A 5' asphalt walk will be constructed diagonally to connect the sidewalk in front of the primary care building to the sidewalk in front of the Wildwood Town homes. The walk will be constructed at a 5-foot width rather than an 8-foot width as it is anticipated that bicyclists will use the temporary roadway. 2. Comment: According to the TIS and previous conversations a temporary 8' asphalt path was planned to connect the proposed development to PVH Harmony Primary Care PDP Responses 4 30 04 Page 3 of 5 PVHS Harmony Campus Primary Care Plaza April 30, 2004 PDP Review Comments service to the east. Contact Light & Power as soon as possible with comments about transformer location, electric and gas meter locations. Response: Conversations have been held between Alan and myself regarding the light and power issues. The Utility Plan now shows location of the transformer. Because of the reconfiguration of the Site with the building being on the east side of the site, it works better to have the transformer near the southwest corner of the building. Final location of this can be adjusted at final design. PFA (Ron Gonzales, 221-6570, rgonzales(a�fcgov.com): 1. Comment: The private drive will be required to be shown on the plat as a dedicated emergency access easement. Response: This is shown schematically and will be done at final plat stage. 2. Comment: A site plan shall be submitted to review the acceptance, the efficiency and the effectiveness of the temporary fire access to Timberwood Drive by the PFA. Response: With this submittal the fire access will no longer be built. Snow Mesa drive and the eastern leg of Timberwood Drive will be constructed as a two-lane asphalt road w/o curb and gutter south of the Primary Care site, thus connecting the site to the existing drive to the east. 3. Comment: The building is required to be fire sprinklered, and to have a fire alarm system, both installed and in service prior to issuance of the Cert. of Occupancy. Response: The building will be fire sprinklered and will have a fire alarm system per the Building Codes. Both will be installed and in-service prior to the issuance of the C.O. 4. Comment: Fire hydrants will be required to be located along the fire lane with one being within 300 of the building; thereafter, they will be spaced on 600 centers. Hydrants required to deliver 1500 gpm @ 20 psi. Response: Acknowledged. Final spacing will be worked out with the City. 5. Comment: Address is required to be visible from the street fronting the property. Address numerals required to be a minimum of 6 inches posted on a contrasting background. If bronze/brass numerals are used they shall only be posted on a black background for visibility. Response: Acknowledged. Final location of the numerals has not been determined, but will comply with requirements.

Current Planning (Cameron Gloss, 221-6750 cgloss(c-)fcgov.com): 1. Comment: Staff supports the revised site plan that reorients the building facade toward Snow Mesa Drive and the proposed Private Drive given that the building is part of the larger PVHS campus. Response: Aknowledged. We prefer the new arrangement from a medical design standpoint. It matches the "West" Campus layout, also. We appreciate the City's efforts to accommodate a solution. 2. Please show how pedestrian access will be provided to the common open space area eventually to be constructed east of the primary care building. Response: A future walkway with connections to the building has been shown on the site and landscape plan. 3. An administrative public hearing has been scheduled for this item on May 17, 2004. Please submit the addendum to the traffic study, a written response to the review comments and 5 sets (site and landscape plans, plat, architectural elevations and isometric elevation) to the Current Planning Department no later than May 3rd. Response: Acknowledged. Light and Power (Alan Rutz, 221-6700, arutz(aD_fcgov.com): 1. Comment: Transformer location has not been discussed with Light & Power. The transformer can be located at the northwest corner of building, adjacent to the parking lot. This will require moving the sewer, fire line and water PVH Harmony Primary Care PDP Responses 4 30 04 Page 1 of 5
