[4/4/05] Note #1 of Landscape Assurances refers to "current phase"; however I don't see any landscape phases.
If they want to phase the landscaping, then they should include a "landscape phasing" sheet to be included.
Response: We are proposing to complete the PDP as a single filing, and then complete Final Compliance Plans
as separate filings. Each subsequent Final Compliance plan set will indicate the limits of landscaping.
Redline drawings have been returned with this resubmittal. Thank you for your review of this letter and the
resubmittal PDP materials. Please do not hesitate to contact me for any reason.
Sincerely,

(4/18/05] Will there be a signing/striping plan submitted with future submittals? If not, bike lanes should be
shown on the utility plan sets where appropriate - eg. Timberline Rd and Skymaster Dr. Potential crosswalk
locations for pedestrian routes to the planned open space and neighborhood center should also be considered.
Response: A signing/striping plan will be included in future submittals, bike lanes will be shown. An interim
striping plan for Timberline has been included with the plan and profile sheets with this submittal.

[4/19/05] Why no sidewalk surrounding the open space/detention area? I'm open to discussing the pros/cons of
surrounding the entire open space with sidewalk considering that the adjacent streets (Yeager and Dassault)
have sidewalks near the proposed lots. However, I think at a minimum a sidewalk should be provided along the
south side of Skymaster between these two streets as I don't think it is reasonable to force peds to cross to the
north side of the street in order to be able to use a sidewalk, especially considering that this would be a walking
route to the future neighborhood center.
Response: Tract Q (open space/detention area) will be a future City of Fort Collins park, and upon discussions
with Park Planning they requested that we not construct sidewalks within that tract. We have provided
sidewalks adjacent to Tract K, south of Tract Q, and have included ramps to allow pedestrians to cross where
the sidewalk ends.

[4/19/05] The TIS indicates that there will be a "temporary paved connection" from the southern edge of this
property to the existing sidewalk on the east side of Timberline which terminates at Timberline/International
intersection. I do not see this noted on the planset. Please include this improvement on subsequent submittals.
Response: A temporary paved connection has been added per discussion with Dave Averill.

[4/4/05] Their project note #7 and their response number 4 on their Conceptual Review letter response indicate
that there are 3 housing types proposed with this PDP. However, only 2 housing types are listed in the Unit
Type Summary on Sheet SP-2 of 8. The Code requires 3 housing types in each PDP over 45 acres in size. Even
if there are 3 housing types in the ODP, that doesn't satisfy the requirement that 3 are required for this particular
PDP. So I don't believe the "Future MF Tracts" count towards satisfying the requirement.
Response: With this resubmittal we have provided an additional housing type to achieve the required 3 housing
types within each PDP over 45 acres in size. We have provided 10 Single Family Attached units (See Site Plan
for locations).

[4/20/05] This development is responsible for the design and construction of International along its frontage.
Need an interim and ultimate design for your street stubs to it. Will need to provide an estimate for the
construction of the street stubs to the property line for our review and approval. That amount will go into the
DA.
Response: See attached documentation from Liley, Rogers & Martell, LLC. This development is responsible for
the following in connection with International Boulevard:
a. Escrowing the cost of design and construction of that portion of International Boulevard from its
southeast corner west to a point representing approximately the easternmost 113 of the wetland (see
attached map). In lieu of this escrow, the developer has the option of crediting it against the payment
from the City for the Timberline ROW costs.
b. Providing interim and ultimate design for the three street stubs to International Boulevard and
escrowing the costs to construct the same.
c. Estimates for the escrows will be provided to the City for its review and approval, and the escrow
amounts and terms will be memorialized in the development agreement for this project.

[4/20/05] Public alleys cannot exceed 660'.
Response: We have met with PFA about this comment, and they have no concerns since they don't access the
alleys as long as they have adequate street frontage and hydrants appropriately spaced. In addition the public
alleys referenced have a mid block alley connection and thereby reduces either half below 660'.

[4/20/05] All local streets have been designed and platted with 53' of row BUT you have some streets with VC
both sides, some streets with rollover both sides, and some streets that mix and match. 53' of row is req'd for
rollover both sides, 5 P for VC both sides, and 52' where they are combined. You will need to provide separate
typical street sections for each of these occurrences (4 possible configurations depending on what side of the
street is VC and rollover) and then list the street name from station xxxx to station xxxx underneath it. The curb
must be consistent from block to block, can't change the curb type mid block.

[4/20/05] This development as shown with is out of fire access. A second point of access is required per Ron
Gonzales with PFA. He has agreed to a temporary emergency access lane off the north west side of the
property in the interim BUT this may go away if the over/under pass is constructed. If and when that happens,
another acceptable secondary point of access will be required prior to the release of future phases.
Response: See attached documentation from Liley, Rogers & Martell, LLC.The development will have a
temporary emergency access lane off the northwest side of the property which will be replaced with a
permanent access meeting the City's requirements when one becomes available elsewhere on the property or
when the Timberline/Vine overpass is constructed, whichever first occurs. In the event that the Timberline/Vine
overpass is constructed first, the permanent access would remain in the same location as the temporary but
would be constructed at a grade not to exceed 8%.

[4/20/051 Suggest doing separate Filings for this development versus Phasing. Phasing would require that all
public improvements be constructed within a 3 year time frame. If this does not occur, then the plans expire
and you must resubmit to whatever the standards are at that time. Do Filing one now such that it meets PFA's
requirements and leave the future filings alone until another street provides your secondary point of access.
Response: We are proposing to complete the PDP as a single filing, and then complete Final Compliance Plans
as separate filings.

[4/20/051 Please provide an interim and ultimate design for Timberline up to Skymaster. Please provide a
typical street section for each condition. Please provide an interim and ultimate striping plan.
Response: Typical street sections provided on detail sheet 82. Interim striping shown on Timberline Road P&P
sheets, ultimate striping will be shown when TST receives information concerning auxiliary and turn lanes.

[4/20/05] Please provide a preliminary design for the overpass with enough information to determine the actual
row needs along Timberline OR you can start at the west row line at the Plummer School, take it up 4:1 to the
20 or 25' height, add in the street section, and then take it back down 4:1 to find the approximate slope. This
option will put you out about 300' into your property.
Response: See attached documentation from Liley, Rogers & Martell, LLC. Attached is a drawing which Matt
(Baker) agrees shows the anticipated needed City ROW for the future Timberline/Vine overpass. It is
understood that the City will need to pay the developer for this ROW including any amounts which an appraisal
may determine are damages to the remainder. No further design is required.
A preliminary centerline profile has been provided for the overpass. A vertical clearance of 23.5' was assumed
over the railroad tracks (provided by City of Fort Collins Special Projects Engineer). The ultimate Timberline
street section was shifted to the east so that the ultimate right-of-way matched the existing right-of-way adjacent

Number: 89 Created: 4/22/2005
[4/22/05] Please clarify whether fences will be provided along the mid -block pedestrian connections and, if so,
their proposed height and materials... If taller fences are provided, it may give a tunnel -effect that does not
make for a particularly welcoming experience. Fences longer than 100 feet in length are also subject to the
design standards found in Section 3.8.11.
Response: Fencing will be controlled by the covenants for the subdivision, and will be in accordance with the
design standards in Section 3.8.11 for fences over 100 feet.
