How was this dedicated as it was not dedicated by the prior plats? Response: This area is being dedicated by separate document. Comment Number: 7 Comment Originated: 12/16/2014 12/16/2014: Sheet 008. This sheet is missing a signature block. Response: Signature block has been added. Comment Number: 8 Comment Originated: 12/16/2014 12/16/2014: Need to show the perforated pipe that will be under the pavers on the utility plan sheet and/or of the grading plans sheet. Where do they run and where do they outfall to? Response: Aspen met with Stormwater staff and underdrains have been added for east paver areas, with no underdrains required for west paver areas. Comment Number: 9 Comment Originated: 12/16/2014 12/16/2014: The utility plans note generally where the transformer will be located, but do not show the concrete pad that will need to be installed for this. Response: The transformer is located on a concrete pavement area and will have bollards around the transformer, per Light & Power request. 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. Department: Forestry Contact: Tim Buchanan, 970-221-6361, tbuchanan@fcgov.com Topic: Landscape Plans Comment Number: 1 Comment Originated: 12/17/2014 12/17/2014: Evaluate the opportunity to include Oak trees in the frontage along Harmony, which could provide the Harmony Oaks concept for this project. Response: The landscape plan has been revised to include oak species. 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. Comment Number: 3 Comment Originated: 12/17/2014 12/17/2014: Please review numbers of individual trees used for the Minimum Species Diversity standard in the LUC. Provide actual percentage used of trees in the plant list. Response: The plant list has been modified to include % of species and to meet LUC standards. Comment Number: 4 Comment Originated: 12/17/2014 12/17/2014: Forestry Comments pertain only to trees and tree related items.

Department: PFA Contact: Jim Lynxwiler, 970-416-2869, jlynxwiler@poudre-fire.org Topic: General Comment Number: 1 Comment Originated: 12/19/2014 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. Comment Number: 2 Comment Originated: 12/19/2014 12/19/2014: CANOPY HEIGHT In order to allow fire apparatus to pass under the canopy.
