Comment Summary:
Department: Planning Services
Contact: Ted Shepard, 970-221-6343, tshepard@fcgov.com
Topic: General
Comment Number: 1. Comment Originated: 12/23/2015
12/23/2015: The boundary of the plat includes multiple easements and utilities especially along
Harmony Road. Presently, there are signature blocks for the owner and lienholder only. Please
check and be sure there are no other owners that need to sign the plat.
RESPONSE: The owners are working with their attorneys to make sure the right signatures are on
the plat.
Comment Number: 2. Comment Originated: 12/23/2015
12/23/2015: Have the issues associated with the owner of the Irrigation Easement been resolved?
RESPONSE: See comment 1. A private party agreement has been drafted and agreed upon by
both parties just not executed at the time of this resubmittal allowing for crossing of this easement
with the proposed storm system shown in this submittal.
Comment Number: 3. Comment Originated: 12/23/2015
12/23/2015: On the Site Plan, please revise Note 4 and provide an explanation as to how the 80-foot
Buffer along Harmony Road is to be developed. Who is the developer? What is the timeframe for
development? Will the construction of these improvements be coordinated with Harmony Commons
so that newly installed improvements are not impacted by subsequent development? It would be
helpful to cite the official plan title and City of Fort Collins project number for cross-reference
purposes.
RESPONSE: We have added a sentence to Note 4 stating that the 80-foot setback improvements
are the responsibility of MAVD. We also referenced the City’s project number for the BDR. The
commencement of the setback work will be upon closing of the land purchase this spring with the
Harmony Commons work to follow immediately after the start of the setback and right-of-way work.
Comment Number: 4. Comment Originated: 12/23/2015
12/23/2015: This note should be carried over to the Context Diagram and please add further
explanation as to the responsibility and timing of the 8-foot wide bike and pedestrian easement
between Lots 1,6 and Outlot B.
RESPONSE: The note has been added.
Comment Number: 5. Comment Originated: 12/23/2015
12/23/2015: On the Context Diagram, please add the land uses to the north. Please note that H-P
has now divided into two separate companies.
RESPONSE: Land uses are noted and revised.
Comment Number: 6. Comment Originated: 12/23/2015
12/23/2015: Staff is concerned about the length of the parking lot that parallels Timberwood Drive
along southern edge of Lot 5. Please note that Section 3.2.1(E)(4) – Parking Lot Perimeter
Landscaping – requires that this lot be screened by landscaping for a minimum of 70% of the length
at a minimum of 30-inches in height. As shown, the amount of landscaping is insufficient for
screening purposes. Please add additional plant material in this area to help screen the parking lot
from the public street. Please explore other screening options. For example, is there sufficient width
for an undulating berm? Even a low berm would be beneficial. Or, has a low screen wall been
considered?
RESPONSE: We have added a 4-foot strip of plant material containing 3-foot tall grasses. In
addition, we added a combination of ornamental and evergreen trees planted in clusters to help
screen the trash enclosure and transformer.
Perhaps a combination of various screening elements would be interesting.
RESPONSE: Since there is not room for a berm, we feel that the grasses and trees aid in fulfilling
Section 3.2.1(E)(4).
Comment Number: 7. Comment Originated: 12/23/2015
12/23/2015: Street trees along Lady Moon between Harmony and the private drive are placed at
intervals that exceed 40 feet. Please increase the number of street trees so that they are placed at
intervals that do not exceed 40 feet.
RESPONSE: Street trees are now spaced at 40 feet.
Comment Number: 8. Comment Originated: 12/23/2015
12/23/2015: There is a north-south sidewalk on the east side of the north-south private drive on the
west side of Lot 5 but this walk does not continue north. Please continue this walk to the north to Lot
4 so that it ties into the plaza between Buildings C and D.
RESPONSE: The north-south walk has been added.
Comment Number: 9. Comment Originated: 12/23/2015
12/23/2015: Where the various internal sidewalks intersect with the private drives, please add
crosswalks.
RESPONSE: Crosswalks have been added.
Comment Number: 10. Comment Originated: 12/23/2015
12/23/2015: On the Site Plan, please demarcate the boundary of the Convenience Shopping Center
and state the acreage and indicate that this is a Secondary Use. Also, please indicate that the Office
is a Primary Use. As subsequent phases develop, there can be no more than 7.57 acres of
Secondary Uses.
RESPONSE: The boundary has been added to the Site Plan.
Comment Number: 11. Comment Originated: 12/23/2015
12/23/2015: On the Lighting Plan, please select the specification that the AS1 fixture must not
exceed 3,000 Kelvin.
RESPONSE: Parking lot lights have been specified as 4,000K to blend in with the neighboring
project. The Banner Hospital has 5,000K and the office building to the south of the proposed project
has 4,000K light fixtures. We request the use of the 4,000K parking lot lights to unify the commercial
appeal on the Harmony corridor.
Comment Number: 12. Comment Originated: 12/23/2015
12/23/2015: On the Lighting Plan, there appear to be numerous parking lot fixtures that are placed
within the landscape islands. As the trees mature, this lighting will be significantly diminished over
time. Please consider placing all parking lot fixtures outside the landscape islands.
RESPONSE: Parking lot lights and landscape trees have been further coordinated to maintain light
appropriate levels.
Comment Number: 13. Comment Originated: 12/23/2015
12/23/2015: Regarding the architectural elevations for Buildings C and D, please note that Section
3.5.3(E) calls for each building to have a distinct base, middle and top. Staff interprets this standard
in such a way, however, as to allow one-story buildings to accomplish architectural interest by a
variety of techniques. Since Buildings C and D rely on variety and interest across their elevations,
the result, as stated in the Planning Objectives, is an emphasis on the overall horizontality aspect of
the project. Staff is concerned that this results in an overly repetitive pattern especially as these
buildings relate to the two public streets.
RESPONSE: Included in the current submittal are 3-dimensional perspectives of each building to
represent the building steps with shade and shadow. Masonry banding has also been added to the
fields of masonry.
Comment Number: 14. Comment Originated: 12/23/2015
12/23/2015: Specifically, Staff is concerned about north elevation of Building C (facing Harmony
Road) and the north and east elevations of Building D (facing Harmony Road and Lady Moon Drive).
Broadly speaking, except for the ends that feature entrances (with columns and overhangs), these
elevations appear flat and lack three-dimensionality. It is not clear as to the extent that these
elevations feature recesses and projections and shadow lines. The long, one-story rooflines appear
excessive and without relief. Staff advises that additional opportunities should be considered to
create more recesses, projections, reveals, cornices, varying parapet heights, and the like, in order
to add shadow lines and depth to the facades that are visible to the public. Such features would help
mitigate the emphasis on the consistent rooflines and overall horizontality of the buildings.
RESPONSE: Included in the current submittal are 3-dimensional perspectives of each building to
represent the building steps with shade and shadow. A meeting between planning staff and the
project Architect was had and addressed the elevation concerns.
Comment Number: 15. Comment Originated: 12/23/2015
12/23/2015: Has any consideration been given to adding more trim, sills, lintels, coursing or other
details around the windows? As depicted, the windows contribute to the flatness of the facades.
RESPONSE: This has been reviewed and windows are recessed within the masonry and for building
reasons of construction the windows in the stucco cannot be recessed further. Masonry coursing has
been included to create further detail and interest.
Comment Number: 16. Comment Originated: 12/23/2015
12/23/2015: Perhaps more attention could be paid to the treatment of the exit doors. These three
elevations include eight hollow metal doors that appear to lack any detail. Staff advises that various
treatments be investigated to either make these doors less visible or mitigated with additional
features. If the latter, please consider including additional trim and detail or overhangs or columns or
wing walls in order to ensure more three-dimensionality and has the benefit of mitigating the
utilitarian function of these back side doors.
RESPONSE: Hollow metal doors on the north elevation have been painted to blend in with the
adjacent building material.
Comment Number: 17. Comment Originated: 12/23/2015
12/23/2015: The Statement of Planning Objectives indicates that the buildings are taking their
architectural cue from Banner Health and Fuse Office Building as well as Fossil Ridge High School.
Please note that Banner Health includes three distinct types of masonry, and, in certain portions of
the building, masonry is taken up to the full height of both one and two story sections. Does the
selected c.m.u. match any of the c.m.u.’s of Banner?
RESPONSE: Masonry coursing has been included to create further detail and interest to the
building. The colored banding technique is not being duplicated from the Banner Hospital as these
buildings want to have a separate identity from the Hospital yet complement each other.
Please consider adding an additional masonry material and or color to add variety along the street-
facing elevations. Perhaps the brick that is included on Building E could be introduced to enrich the
street-facing facades of Buildings C and D.
RESPONSE: Masonry coursing has been included to create further detail and interest
Comment Number: 18. Comment Originated: 12/23/2015
12/23/2015: For the next submittal, pleases include perspectives of the three buildings.
RESPONSE: Included.

Topic: Construction Drawings
Comment Number: 100 Comment Originated: 12/21/2015
12/21/2015: Why is a 24" storm line proposed underneath the sidewalk along Lady Moon? The
location is awkward as it places manholes in the sidewalk.
RESPONSE: We have moved the storm manholes so that the rims will be outside of the sidewalk.
This pipe is necessary because we are connecting the existing inlet and outlet that is presently an
open channel.
Comment Number: 105 Comment Originated: 12/21/2015
12/21/2015: The use of bioswales behind the curb and gutter along Lady Moon Drive is of concern
in that there's limited information at this time regarding its proposal, suitability, and mitigation.
Understanding that this bioswale is intended for Lady Moon Drive flows only and not from the
development, there apparently is not a concern with private requirements being mitigated in public
right-of-way. However, if the intent is to take public street flows and allow these flows to infiltrate
behind the curb and gutter, there are concerns such as:
1) How will it be ensured that infiltration of flows behind the curb and gutter does not negatively
impact Lady Moon's street stability? Does the current soil condition in the area lend itself well to
allow infiltration? We've required a previous project that used rain gardens for infiltration behind the
curb and gutter to provide underdrains to help in mitigate impacts to the roadway. Cutoff walls and/or
liners would need to be considered as well.
2) How is ongoing maintenance of the bioswale envisioned, is this intended to be maintained by the
City or the abutting property?
3) Is there existing or proposed utility infrastructure that would be impacted by the bioswales as
utility infrastructure could be in the same location. How will any ongoing access, maintenance, and
replacement of utilities adjacent or beneath impact the viability of the bioswales?
RESPONSE: We have removed the bioswale between our driveway and TImberwood (where the
future right turn lane is likely). We have added a perforated underdrain to the remaining sections of
bioswale. On January 8, we met with Wes, Marc and Sheri to discuss the issues with the proposed
bioswale – adding the perforated pipe was discussed, but Engineering did not ”approve” that
solution.. We have not received any word back from staff if this modified design will be sufficient.
Comment Number: 110 Comment Originated: 12/21/2015
12/21/2015: To the extent that there's room to do so, the roof drain shown east of Lot 5, should be
moved out of the 9 foot utility easement.
RESPONSE: Roof drain piping has been removed from the east side of the building – it will drain
west.
Topic: General
Comment Number: 200 Comment Originated: 12/21/2015
12/21/2015: The presumption I have in terms of entitlement of properties by this development plan
is that Lots 3, 4, and 5 would be the development plan area that would obtain a final plan approval
and vesting, resulting in the development agreement boundary covering Lots 3, 4 and 5. If there are
concerns with this approach (looking to add Lots 1, 2 and/or 6 to the development agreement), we
should discuss this at some point.
RESPONSE: The intent is to only entitle and develop Lots 3, 4 and 5.
Comment Number: 205 Comment Originated: 12/21/2015
12/21/2015: The abutting local street portion of pavement for Harmony Road would need to be
repaid to the City prior to the first building permit. With the previous comment in mind, we would take
the approach that the first building permit in this development would need to provide this repay for
the Harmony frontage in front of lots 3 and 4 (regardless whether a building permit for lots 3, 4 or 5
are pulled first).
RESPONSE: Acknowledged.
Comment Number: 210 Comment Originated: 12/21/2015
12/21/2015: The right turn lane on Harmony Road abutting this development was constructed by
Banner Hospital. Banner Hospital may have filed a repay for this work which would have an amount
contributable by this development. Further information on this is intended to be available and then
have this comment updated accordingly.
RESPONSE: Acknowledged.
Comment Number: 215 Comment Originated: 12/21/2015
12/21/2015: The abutting Timberwood Drive and Outlot A designs are part of the Basic Development
Review proposal by MAVD. The last version of the BDR submitted did not show sidewalk along
Timberwood Drive, similar to this proposal. We'll want to ensure that the sidewalk is shown to be
installed, either by this project, or the BDR. Regardless, it will be part of the development agreement
for this proposal that the sidewalk and streets are completed, and if for whatever reason the BDR
construction would not move forward, this project would need to complete the work shown on the
BDR. I would like to see it revised on all the plans that all reference to "By Others" is changed to "By
M.A.V.D., the master developer" (or something similar), in order to make a more clear intent as to
how the abutting infrastructure is intended to be completed.
RESPONSE: Aspen’s latest BDR plans show proposed sidewalk along the north side of Timberwood
Drive, per Noah Beal’s request.
Comment Number: 220 Comment Originated: 12/21/2015
12/21/2015: There is an edge of pavement line that's identified on the plat. I'd want to confirm that
this edge of pavement is current as of the right turn lane built by Banner Hospital. This edge of
pavement line should ideally then be labelled on the site plan to demonstrate its relationship to the
proposed buildings and then confirm whether the appropriate setback requirements as part of the
Harmony Corridor Plan, is being met (or if not, a variance then to that standard is then provided).
RESPONSE: The edge of pavement line was surveyed by Northern Engineering so we know it is
accurate. The property line proposed for this plat is parallel to the edged of pavement and is exactly
80 foot wide. There is a note on the site plan.
Comment Number: 225 Comment Originated: 12/21/2015
12/21/2015: There are two existing vent pipes along Lady Moon Drive shown on the plans. Both
vent pipes would need to be moved at least two feet behind (west of) the new proposed sidewalk
along Lady Moon Drive. The MAVD BDR plans are intending on depicting this relocation for the
southern vent pipe. It should at least be indicated with this plan set that the northern vent pipe is
relocated.
RESPONSE: The MAVD BDR Plans are moving the vent pipe at Timberwood because it is in the
way of the HCAP ramps. The 2nd vent pipe to the north is behind the curb and not near the new
detached walk, so we were not planning on moving it.
Comment Number: 230 Comment Originated: 12/21/2015
12/21/2015: The bioswales along Lady Moon Drive depicted on the civil plans are not indicated and
labelled on the landscape plan. If ultimately approved, it would seem this would need coordination
between the landscape plan and the civil plan, as the tree locations appear to be in conflict to meet
the tree planting detail and the swale that's created.
RESPONSE: Understood. Any bioswale materials will be close to the curb and gutter and there will
be about 7’ of width remaining for the street trees.
Comment Number: 235 Comment Originated: 12/21/2015
12/21/2015: Some sort of exhibit should be created depicting what are the separate document
dedications of easements that are intended to be dedicated in conjunction with the development
plan. The pond and associated infrastructure tying into it along the south side of Timberwood Drive
should presumably have offsite drainage and utility easements. In addition there would appear to be
a need for a drainage easement for the temporary swale traversing Lots 1 & 2 (which could be
dedicated on the plat itself, rather than by separate document). Are there other separate document
dedication envisioned?
RESPONSE: Aspen’s intent is to provide a blanket drainage, utility, and access easement (by
separate document) for the Pond Only portion of the project. This will be provided, as applicable, and
during final design of the onsite portion of the work.
There is no longer the need for a temporary drainage easement on the west Lots – that drainage
channel has been removed.

12/21/2015: Is it the intention of Outlot B to be subsequently replatted with development of that
property? Assuming it's intended to be developed, I'm wondering why not have it as an additional lot
(Lot 7?) of the sixth filing?
RESPONSE: Outlot B has been changed to Lot 7.

Topic: Erosion Control
Comment Number: 1 Comment Originated: 12/09/2015
12/09/2015: "On-Site" work needs to include an erosion control plan, report, and escrow. "Off-Site"
work has redlines on the plans, needs to include a report meeting all the drainage criteria, and
escrow may need to be recalculated based on any changes to the plans. The erosion control
requirements are in the Stormwater Design Criteria under the Amendments of Volume 3 Chapter 7
Section 1.3.3. If you need clarification concerning the erosion control section, or if there are any
questions please contact Jesse Schlam 970-218-2932 or email
@ jschlam@fcgov.com
RESPONSE: Aspen has spoken with Jesse Schlam and understands Aspen will be responsible for a
SWMP for the Pond Only portion of the project (offsite work). Aspen’s final drainage report provides
for the escrow amount for the Pond Only portion of the project (offsite work).
Interwest will prepare the required drawings and reports during the FCP submittal for the on site
work.

12/23/2015: The modified regional detention pond needs to be sized using SWMM since the area
draining to the pond is greater than 20 acres.
RESPONSE: Per discussions and meeting with Wes Lamarque, the existing SWMM model is
acceptable and Aspen has provided for Pond 100 exceeding that required by the existing and
approved SWMM model.
Cumulative SWMM volumes (including water quality capture volumes) have been accounted for and
are now contained in one large pond (Pond 100) while maintaining the allowable release rates
shown in the approved SWMM model.
Comment Number: 4 Comment Originated: 12/23/2015
12/23/2015: Please add a discussion in the text of the drainage report that the overflow path for
Pond 100 will need to be redesigned at time of future development to convey the flows to Lady Moon
Drive.
RESPONSE: Aspen has added language which states that future development east/ southeast of
Pond 100 shall ensure a positive overflow path east and out to Lady Moon Drive.

12/23/2015: The TIS has been received and reviewed. The TIS was completed for the entire portion
of the area, not just the three buildings shown on the PDP, so its hard to draw clear conclusions
specifically related to these buildings.
RESPONSE: When the TIS was begun and scoped, we were given and used the site plan that had
six buildings. The reduction in the number of buildings occurred when we were >95 percent
complete.

12/23/2015: The distribution percentages using HTP and Lady Moon seem unrealistic for these
three buildings (assuming 90% will use HTP).
RESPONSE: The assignment to/from the accesses on Harmony Road was based upon judgment,
time path, and trip production areas. It reflects six buildings. With three buildings, it is
acknowledged that the assignment would change to some extent.

12/23/2015: It is unclear why the long term site traffic is lower than the short term site traffic....

12/23/2015: The long term traffic numbers show that a warrant is met for a southbound right turn
lane from Lady Moon onto Timberwood. This needs to be considered.
RESPONSE: Right of Way is now being dedicated for a future right turn lane. We do not plan to
design or build this with this PDP as it is not warranted (yet).

12/23/2015: It will be assumed that the completion of these three buildings do not yet meet the
signal warrant at HTP. If the applicant wants to discuss that further, then we would need a memo
update that specifically addresses the trip generation from these three buildings.
RESPONSE: Acknowledged. This should be discussed further. The signal is not part of the work
associated with this submittal and the applicant does not intend to pursue this with the city.
