Comment Number: 7 Comment Originated: 07/30/2014 Department: Engineering Development Review Contact: Marc Virata, 970-221-6567, mvirata@fcgov.com Topic: Construction Drawings 09/10/2014: The response indicated that .5% will be maintained throughout which is acceptable. The response also added however that curb and gutter is outflow, which I'm unsure why would be intended. The paving plan notes the use of inflow curb and gutter, which would be required with the inset curb and gutter for parking, unless outflow curb and gutter is utilized with concrete parking and a pan between the parking and the through street. Please clarify. 07/30/2014: In measuring and the flowline grade around the inset parking appears to achieve only .4% in areas. Please ensure .5% minimum is obtained.

If you have questions about any comments, you may contact the individual commenter or direct your questions through the Project Planner, Ryan Mounce, at 970-224-6186 or rmounce@fcgov.com. RE: Prairie Village, MJA140002, Round Number 2 Page 1 of 6 09/10/2014: The response indicates further discussion on making this change. We've made this a requirement on other projects, including Uptown Plaza and minor amendment for the Taco Bell next door on West Elizabeth. 07/30/2014: The project will need to reconfigure the existing access ramp at the southeast corner of the site to face east and direct pedestrians to cross parallel to Fromme Prairie Way, and provide truncated domes in accordance with LCUASS drawing 1607. The new detached sidewalk should just continue to this new access ramp with the existing attached sidewalk south of the new walk removed. Comment Number: 2 Comment Originated: 07/30/2014 09/10/2014: The planning related documents (except the building elevations) are still labelled as "Prairie Village Townhomes" while the plat, civil, and building elevations are labelled as "Prairie Village". Please ensure all the documents share one of these titles. From my perspective either title is fine. 07/30/2014: Please coordinate the name of the project across the various documents. The site and landscape plan has "Townhomes" after "Prairie Village" while the other documents do not. Comment Number: 3 Comment Originated: 07/30/2014 09/10/2014: With the emergency access easement defined on the plat connecting Harmony Road with Fromme Prairie Way it appears that in order to maintain the full 24' width that an offsite emergency access easement is needed from Lot 1 of the Overlook Fifth Filing P.U.D. Assuming PFA is requiring this, we would need a letter of intent from that property owner indicating acceptability to the concept of granting an easement, which would be required prior to approval of the plan. The dedication of an emergency access easement by separate document requires a $250 transportation development review fee along with fees assessed by Larimer County for recording the deed. The City has a standard easement dedication form as well which requires signatures from the grantor along with an attorney certification of the deed.

Per state statue 9-5 any townhome project with 7 or more units must provide accessible units per that standard. 3. Call Russ at 970-416-2341 to schedule a pre-submittal code review meeting. Comment Number: 1 Comment Originated: 07/18/2014 Department: Outside Agencies Contact: Ryan Mounce, 970-224-6186, rmounce@fcgov.com Topic: General 07/25/2014: The following comments are from Bob Rulli, Field Engineer with CenturyLink, who may be reached at 970-490-7503 or robert.rulli@centurylink.com: MST&T easement runs along the south border of the property. This easement contains the west end of the major W Harmony duct run. Multiple ducts as well as manholes (actual location of manhole not noted on plat). This will not be relocated and access to this manhole must be provided. The manhole will likely sit in one of the units' driveway. Grade changes (frame and cover adjustments) will be developers expense. Ducts must be protected in place during construction. Depth coverage must be maintained for final. Service to these 7 units would most likely originate from existing facilities SW corner of the property. Cable may be extended north in the 5' utility easement to provide an access pedestal. Service drops to one central location (West side of structure for demarcation). Inside wiring to each unit from this network interfaces required. Applicant must work with area engineer to determine existing facility tap in and extension for service to units. Due to tariff requirements, a conduit run for cable extensions and service drop conduits will be needed. Actual route and access pedestal locations (if existing cannot be utilized) will need to be worked out with CTL engineering. Please contact us well in advance as our engineering and construction cycle time is about 8 weeks now due to so much volume all over Front Range North. Comment Number: 1 Comment Originated: 07/25/2014 Department: PFA Page 3 of 6 Contact: Jim Lynxwiler, 970-416-2869, jlynxwiler@poudre-fire.org Topic: General FIRE LANES 9/10/14: Restatement of information detailed in email to City Planner, Ryan Mounce, dated 9/10/14: Fire access is needed on the NE side of the property because minimum fire access requirements cannot be met from Fromme Prairie Way alone. Units 2, 3, 5 & 7 are out of access. Providing an EAE through the commercial area, as currently detailed on the plat, will cover the remainder of Units 5 & 7 but not Units 2 & 3. As a minimum, the EAE needs to extended to the property limits on the north side of the property. From that location, firefighters can cover the majority of Units 2 & 3 within the 150 foot access limitation. Only the courtyard of Unit 3 remains out of access, but as the buildings are to be sprinklered, the 150 foot maximum fire access requirement may be extended in this circumstance. An option proposed by Ken Miller was to include the driveway in the EAE dedication. That would provide total access to the building's exterior but as it exceeds the minimum code requirement it is not compulsory. If that choice is made however, the turning radius of the driveway would have to conform with fire code standards. If it's possible to include the adjoining commercial property in the access easement, that solution would clean up the EAE boundaries. For documentation purposes, I'll note required turning radii are not being achieved in all areas of the proposed EAE but those circumstances are acceptable as a pre-existing condition of the site. 08/04/2014: Fire Lanes shall be provided to within 150' of ALL portions of all buildings, as measured by an approved route around the exterior of the building. Supporting documentation does not provide details of an existing Emergency Access Easement serving the commercial property bordering to the north. Without it, some portions of the east & west buildings (especially units 2,3,6,&7) would be out of fire access. Lacking further site details, it is unclear if access needs are being met with this site design. When fire lanes cannot be provided, the fire code official is authorized to increase the dimension of 150 feet if the building is equipped throughout with an approved, automatic fire-sprinkler system. Further information is required.
