serve as a seed source for the spread of Russian Olives
to other nearby wetlands.
9. Jim Clark, the water conservation specialist for the Water
Department, has stated that although there are no problems
with the preliminary plan as submitted, please be aware that
the final submittal will be reviewed against the Water
Conservation Standards for Landscaping.
10. Timberline Road is classified as a major arterial on the
City's Master Street Plan and off -site street improvements to
bring it up to major arterial status will be part of this
development.
11. If a center median is constructed in Timberline Road a portion
of the cost of the median will be paid for through street
oversizing fees.
12. This development will need to provide stormwater detention in
compliance with the Horsetooth East Business Park master plan
for the area. The release rate is 0.17 cubic feet per second.
13. Separate fire lines will be required for buildings with fire
sprinkler systems.
14. The convenience store pad will require separate utility
services.
15. The proposed uses as indicated on the Filing Two preliminary
plan are all uses that are identified on the approved Amended
Overall Development Plan for the Horsetooth Business Park
P.U.D. There is a concern, however, that the apparent
predominance of small, auto -related proposed uses may
constitute a dilution of a well master -planned business/office
corridor along Timberline Road. Also, the convenience element.
that this proposal conveys seems to be significantly covered
to the northeast and south within reasonably close distances.
This completes the review comments at this time. Additional
comments may be forthcoming as the various departments and
reviewing agencies continue to review this request. Please be aware
of the following dates and deadlines to assure your ability to stay
on schedule for the January 23, 1995 Planning and Zoning Board
hearing:

The Transportation Department has offered the following
comments:
a. The Timberline Road access must be aligned' with the
access on the opposite side of the street or a median
must be insi;•alled on Timberline to control these
movements. 7 "pork chop" island is not considered to be
a suf�,._ deterrent for vehicles wanting to make a
left northbound on Timberline.
b. The automation Way access south of Pad F appears to be
too close to Big Horn Drive.
The Engineering Department has offered the following comments:
Site Plan
a. Offset entrance off of Timberline Road may be a problem.
b. Add ramps to walks off Automation Way.
C. Add ramps to medical/office building parking.
d. Identify major streets and facilities on the Vicinity
Map.
e. Handicap spaces do not agree with the utility plan.
Plat
a. If individual lots are sold separately, interior utility
easements will be needed.
b. Show existing sanitary sewer easement.
C. Existing street R.O.W. running thru the property needs to
be vacated.
Utility Plan
a. Add interior utility easements.
8. The Natural Resources Division has the following comments to
offer:
a. The plan should provide for a paved pedestrian/bicycle
access through the landscaped area near the Automation
Way/Horsetooth corner to Pad A (as you did for Pads B and
C) .
b. The Division is encouraging you to remove the Russian
Olives that have established around the wetland (being
sure to herbicide the stumps so they don't re-establish)
because of the pest status of these shrubs. They will

Dear Eldon,
:es
Staff has reviewed your proposed development documents for the
Horsetooth Bast Business Park, Filing Two - Preliminary that were
submitted to the City on November 21, 1994 and would like to offer
the following comments:
1. Public Service Company has stated that no slopes steeper than
a 4:1 grade may occur in the utility easements.
2. A copy of the comments received from Sharon Getz of the
Building Inspection Department is attached to this letter.
3. The Poudre Fire Authority forwarded the following comments:
a. It appears that all of the sites are set up for fire
sprinklers. An additional fire hydrant must be located at
the entrance/exit on Big Horn Drive.
b. All buildings in excess of 5,000 square feet in size must
be fire sprinkled.
4. Roger Buffington of the Water/Wastewater Department has made
comments on red -lined utility and landscape plans. The utility
plan has been forwarded to yeiwr engineer and the landscape
plan is enclosed with this letter.
5. The Light i Power Department has stated that
removal/relocation of existing electric facilities will be at
the developer's expense, in addition to normal electric
development charges. The existing line that bisects the site
(approximately through Pad C) will need to be relocated (to
Big Horn Drive) prior to release of any building permits. Some
locations of street trees may need to be adjusted to provide
clearance to streetlights (see attached preliminary
streetlight plan).
