approved the above referenced projects with the following conditions on the Preliminary
PUD, which also included a variance to the Solar Orientation requirement:.
1. Letters of intent for necessary off -site drainage easements, to allow the
stormwater from Harmony Ridge PUD to pass across the natural area
(including the Cathy Fromme Prairie) into the Burns Tributary, must be
provided at time of submittal of the final PUD documents. The actual
easement agreements must be provided to the City by the plan revision due
date for the final PUD review. The easement agreements must be accepted
by the Stormwater Utility prior to Planning and Zoning Board approval of the
final PUD...
2. At time of submittal of final PUD documents the developer must provide
design for the stormwater conveyance channels and structures from the
Harmony Ridge PUD to the Burns Tributary to the south. Upon review it will
be determined if the design adequately addresses the Stormwater Utility's
requirements and meets the requirements as set forth in All Development.
Criterion A-1.9 in the LDGS the runoff generated by the development shall be
routed through water quality (treatment) sedimentation ponds prior to being
released into.the potential natural area acquisition property. Such ponds
shall be designed in accordance with Volume 3 of the UDFC District's
"Drainage Criteria Manual" or other industry "Best management Practices"
standard and shall comply with the City of Fort Collins design criteria and
standards. Any downstream. discharge from these ponds into the potential

shall take into account the bicycle trail crossings of the drainage channels.
The stabilizing measures. could include both structural and non-structural
