grading easement. How was this dedicated as it was not dedicated by the prior plats?
Response: This area is being dedicated by separate document.

Topic: Plat
Comment Number: 1 Comment Originated: 12/16/2014
12/16/2014: The following two notes need to be added to the plat.
Response: Notes added to Plat.
1. There shall be no private conditions, covenants or restrictions that prohibit or limit the
installation of resource conserving equipment or landscaping that are allowed by Sections 12-
120 – 12-122 of the City Code.
2. The Development Agreement and all Amendment Agreements for Poudre Valley Health
System Harmony Campus Medical Center Second Filing shall continue to apply to the lot
created by this plat.
Comment Number: 2 Comment Originated: 12/16/2014
12/16/2014: A portion of the emergency access and access easement needs to be dedicated
as a utility easement (where the water main runs in the driveway) and a portion needs to be
dedicated as drainage easement (where the drainage pipe crosses the driveway).
Response: The blanket Access, Utility and Drainage Easement covers this area.
Comment Number: 3 Comment Originated: 12/16/2014
12/16/2014: The SE corner of the plat also needs to be a drainage area. This is where the wet
well is located and the drainage off the end of the driveway goes across.
Response: The blanket Access, Utility and Drainage Easement covers this area.
Comment Number: 4 Comment Originated: 12/16/2014
12/16/2014: The area to the south – the plat identifies that an off-site emergency access and
access easement needs to be dedicated by separate document. Per the 3rd Filing plat this
area is already an access easement so it only needs to be an emergency access easement
that is dedicated.
Response: Acknowledged.
Comment Number: 5 Comment Originated: 12/16/2014
12/16/2014: The Harmony Road sidewalk crosses over the cable television easement and the
exclusive easement for the Harmony Transmission Main. Access easement for this sidewalk
needs to be dedicated across these easements where it has been built to maintain public
access. Because the FCLWD easement is an exclusive easement they will need to sign the
plat accepting the access easement where it crosses their easement.
Response: Access Easements across the City of Fort Collins exclusive easement have been added and
City of Fort Collins signature block has been added.

Comment Number: 2 Comment Originated: 12/17/2014
12/17/2014:
The Poudre Valley Hospital A-wing Replacement PDP 140019 project has recently been
submitted. It appears that this project will include a significant amount of tree mitigation of which
some may need to occur off-site. A tree mitigation plan for the A-wing replacement project will
likely soon be in place.
It is suggested that the Poudre Valley Health System Harmony Campus Free Standing
Emergency Department project could be considered as a location for mitigation trees from
PDP 140019 if off-site tree planting is needed from the Lemay and Doctors Lane project.
If this occurs provide appropriate documentation on both project plans.
Response: We have met with the City Forester regarding the A-Wing site and have indicated mitigation tree
locations for A-Wing on both sets of plans. The total amount of mitigation trees required for the A-Wing
project is 75. We plan to use 40 mitigation trees on the A-Wing redevelopment site, so 35 mitigation trees
are included in our plans for the Harmony Emergency Department project.

12/19/2014: EMERGENCY ACCESS EASEMENT
As currently proposed, the EAE does not allow access to within 150' of all portions of the
building as is required by code. The building is approximately 220' out of access given the
current proposal. Adjusting the EAE to include the drive aisle on the NE portion of the site will
reduce the out of access condition to approximately 115'. As the building will have a fire
sprinkler system installed, this would be more within range of acceptance for an out of access
condition.
Response: The EAE has been extended to the north, as requested by PFA.
