Comment: Please remove topo lines from final site plan Response: Acknowledged. The topo lines are now removed. 3. Comment: It doesn't look like the building meets our commercial building standards, there isn't any articulation, no apparent base or top treatments - its needs some pizzazz. Response: We believe that the design intent will be clearer now that notes are on the elevations. There is vertical and horizontal movement for a section of the north and south elevations. There are additional changes in brick colors in the horizontal bands. There are insets of brick panels under the windows. The building is designed along the same detailing as the existing MOB, except that we are changing the location of some of the vertical changes of brick. 4. Comment: Building height needs to be shown on elevations as well as materials, colors etc. Response: Building height is now shown on the Exterior Elevations. 5. Comment: Landscaping needs to be shown on the east end of the parking lot perimeter. Response: The eastern edge of the parking is part of a second phase, which will be an extension of the parking lot. Any landscaping installed would just have to be removed in the next phase; therefore we are not planning on installing any landscaping along the eastern edge of the parking lot. 6. Comment: On the landscape plan, show plat counts and codes on the plan as well as counts on the key Response: Plant call outs and counts will be shown at final design. 7. Comment: Show handicap ramps at HC spaces, crosswalks etc Response: Acknowledged, see plans for indicated items. 8. Comment. Any trash/recyclable enclosures proposed?? Response: This development will be able to share the existing service area behind the existing ACC, therefore no trash enclosure is needed.

Comment: Will the handicap parking stalls along the walkway spine be flush with the walk and landscaping? Or will there be a raised curb with access ramps every 9 feet? Response: There will be ramps at each end of the accessible parking bays and the parking spaces will have curb stops. These ramps have not been designed and detailed, however their location has been indicated on the site plan. 4. Comment: Will the drive aisle that goes in front of the new medical building be extended to the east with future expansion? Response: Yes, with a future phase the access drive will be extended. 5. Comment: To separate pedestrians from motor vehicles in the large parking lot construct a walkway through the landscaped islands to the major walkway spine (see redlines). Response: Acknowledged, see plans for corrections- Water/Wastewater (Roger Buffington, 221-6700 rbuffington(aAcgov.com): 1. Comment: Provide utility easements for all sanitary sewer mains and offsite utility easements for sanitary sewer services which cross adjacent lots. Response: These will be provided with the FCP Plans. 2. Comment: Include all appropriate water and sewer details with the final submittal. Response: These will be provided with the FCP Plans. 3. Comment: Our records indicate that a 4-inch and 6-inch water lines were stubbed out for this building. Clearly define the abandonment of the existing 4-inch water line and installation of the proposed 1 1/2-inch water service. Response: This has been noted in general and will be shown in detail for the final plans. 4. Comment: See site, landscape and utility plans for other comments. Response: All other comments shown on these plans have been corrected. Zoning (Jenny Nuckols, 221-6760 jnuckols(a fcgov.com): 1. Comment: The dashed areas, denoting existing parking, will there still be some handicap spaces on the west side of the proposed building. It's unclear on the site plan. Response: With this re -submittal only one accessible space is being removed in front of the ACC. The MOB II has 10 accessible spaces which is three more than the code requires. The accessible spaces in front of the ACC are very rarely used.

This should be included in the report before the hearing. Response: This is now in the drainage report. 2. Comment: Please provide a preliminary site -specific grading plan for the proposed site. This should be included in the utility plan set before the hearing. Response: A larger scale drawing is now provided. 3. Comment: At final plan review, all the coordination efforts between the various filings for the construction of the drainage improvements needs to be documented with this drainage report. Response: Acknowledged and will be included in the final review plan. Erosion/Sediment Control 1. Comment: Plan will be reviewed when a complete sediment/erosion control plan is submitted per City of Fort Collins specifications. Response: Comment is noted. Transportation Planning (David Averill, 221-6608 daverill(a)fcgov.com): 1. Comment: Please provide a walkway connection from the walkway along the north side of the drive aisle to the sidewalk/trail along Harmony Road. It should be designed similar to the walkway connection to the west that connects the sidewalk/trail to the hospital's main entrance. Also the crosswalk across the drive aisle should be designed similar to the crosswalk design to the west (see red lines). Response: Acknowledged, see plans for corrections. 2. Comment: Please consider increasing the widths of the 6 foot attached walkways along the walkway spine through the parking lot to a minimum 7 foot width. Potential users of the walkways accessing the medical building could be people in wheelchairs, in casts, using crutches, etc... and the extra width will increase their mobility since two feet of the walkway will be taken up by cars overhanging into the walkway. This would leave a minimum of a 5 foot clear space enough for two wheel chairs to pass each other. Response: Acknowledged, see plans for corrections. PVH Harmony Medical Offices crt Responses 4 30 04 Page 3 of 6 PVHS Harmony Campus MOB II April 30, 2004 Concept Review Comments 2. Comment: There is an existing electric line under the proposed walkway connecting the two buildings. Please submit details of this part of building and its foundation. Include plan and profile details of the existing electric line and proposed building walkway. System modification charges will apply to any electric system that needs to be relocated. Response: We have provided one preliminary section for the proposed walkway connection showing the approximate depth of footing and approximated depth of electrical lines. We will request a line locate prior to excavation, and perhaps "pot- hole" to verify the depth of the line. If necessary, adjustments will be able to be made to the foundation wall to accommodate a shallow installation. 3. Comment: On the Landscape Plan show the electric vault located on the north side of the proposed building and remove landscaping from around the vault. Response: Acknowledged, see Landscape Plan. 4. Comment: Submit Commercial Service Information Form (C-1) with building load requirements. Response: Attached hereto. 5. Comment: On the Utility Plan show where electric meter and CT cabinet will be located on the building and coordinate the transformer location with Light & Power. Response: Acknowledged, see Utility Plan. Police (Joseph Gerdom, 221-6550, jgerdom(a�fcgov.com) Comment: Lighting levels at south end - drive/loading area - fall below required 1.Ofc. Response: We will consider modification of the lighting to accommodate the lighting levels. 2. Comment: Ornamentals along north side of building may block surveillance of parking lot from building. Response: We acknowledge the concern about parking surveillance, however, we feel that there is enough clearance under the branches and between the trees at pedestrian level to accommodate surveillance. 3. Comment: Private/maintenance doors should have lighting and viewports. Response: Acknowledged. This will be done with the construction documents as those rooms are identified.
