Department: Planning Services

Topic: General
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Comment Number: 19 Comment Originated: 02/03/2016
02/03/2016: On the Context Diagram, please change the label for Outlot B to Lot 7 to match the plat, please add
the building letter designations to match the Site Plan and double check with John Gooch, Aspen Engineering,
as the size and shape of the off-site detention pond may have changed.
RESPONSE: The labels have been revised.
Comment Number: 20 Comment Originated: 02/03/2016
02/03/2016: On the Site Plan, thank you for adding the convenience shopping center boundary. While noted in
the legend, please add a label to the Site Plan as well.
RESPONSE: The label has been added to the site plan.
Comment Number: 21 Comment Originated: 02/03/2016
02/03/2016: On the Site Plan, note number 4, please correct the reference to B.D.R., not P.D.R.
RESPONSE: The note has been changed.
Comment Number: 22 Comment Originated: 02/03/2016
02/03/2016: On the Site Plan, note number 6, please break this note into two notes as there is a mixing of
expected screening between rooftop and ground-mounted appurtenances. One note should be for rooftop and
one note should be for ground-mounted. For ground-mounted equipment, please reference condensing units,
gas and electrical meters, phone and cable pedestals and the like.
RESPONSE: Note have been separated.
Comment Number: 23 Comment Originated: 02/03/2016
02/03/2016: On the Site Plan, note number 7, please delete the reference to the City of Fort Collins Light and
Power Utility as L & P does not regulate private on-site lighting and they install public street lights per their own
specifications.
RESPONSE: Note revised.
Comment Number: 24 Comment Originated: 02/03/2016
02/03/2016: On the Site Plan, note number 10, please add that bikes must be permanently anchored to
concrete and not interfere with walkways and landscaping.
RESPONSE: Note revised.
Comment Number: 25 Comment Originated: 02/03/2016
02/03/2016:On the Landscape Plan, we have a repeat comment regarding the screening of the parking lot along
Timberwood Drive. Staff is concerned that the area behind the sidewalk ranges in width from 14 to 18 feet and
yet the shrub bed is (except for the three Evergreen Trees) ranges in width only between 4 and 6 feet. In order
to comply with Section 3.2.1(E)(4), the shrub should be widened to accommodate more than just Ornamental
Grasses in a narrow shrub bed. Staff recommends additional Evergreen Trees in this area. Have you considered
adding the Hoopsi or Iseli Spruce? These trees, among others, have a more narrow profile.
RESPONSE: The planting bed screening the parking lot on Timberwood has been widened, as well as
populated with additional Evergreen Trees to create a better buffer.
Comment Number: 26 Comment Originated: 02/03/2016
02/03/2016: On the Landscape Plan, staff is concerned that with the reverse mode layout of the buildings, the
landscaping may not be coordinated with the need to screen the ground-mounted equipment. At the time of Final
Plan submittal, please be sure that the appropriate plant material is placed such that ground-mounted equipment
is adequately screened.
RESPONSE: Upright Junipers have been planted to screen Ground mounted equipment.
Comment Number: 27 Comment Originated: 02/03/2016
2802/03/2016: Thank you for providing architectural perspectives for the three buildings. Regarding our first
round comments on the architectural elevations for Buildings C and D, staff is concerned that the revisions, as
indicated in the response letter, appear difficult to discern. Each response to staff comments numbers 13, 15,
and 17 states that masonry coursing (or banding) has been added but please note that these changes are rather
subtle. Staff recommends that this coursing (or banding) be widened over several courses versus the what is
indicated so that the coursing is effective and visible from a distance.
Comment Number: 28 Comment Originated: 02/03/2016 Our first
round comment number 16 expressed the concern that with the reverse mode layout of Buildings C and D, there
are 10 hollow metal doors facing Harmony Road. The response that these doors are now painted to blend in
with the adjacent building material does not address the fundamental concern that back side of two commercial
buildings will face a six-lane arterial roadway that is considered the southern gateway to our City. Our
expectation in making this comment was to mitigate this backside treatment. At minimum, these back doors
must be treated with an overhang that is consistent with other overhangs within the center. Overhangs would
help make the doors disappear. Other mitigation techniques are welcome but the mere painting of the doors is
insufficient. Or, perhaps evidence can be presented that clearly shows how the proposed berming and
landscaping would render the doors effectively screened from Harmony Road.
Comment Number: 29 Comment Originated: 02/03/2016
02/03/2016: On the Architectural Elevations, the ten exit doors that face Harmony Road each include a light
fixture but these fixtures are not called out on the Lighting Plan. Please resolve. Note that if these fixtures are to
be added to the Lighting Plan, low wattage and, if L.E.D. fixtures are selected, then low Kelvin temperatures are
required. Please note that in conjunction with comment about adding overhangs for each door, these light
fixtures would also benefit from the screening provided by overhangs.

Topic: Construction Drawings
Comment Number: 105 Comment Originated: 12/21/2015
02/05/2016: Input Sheri received from Rick Richter is that the bioswales in Lady Moon right-of-way would not be
accepted. Either a design that places the bioswales outside of right-of-way would need to be explored, or a
variance to stormwater requirements in eliminating them should be looked at.
RESPONSE: Bioswales have been removed from the project.
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?
Comment Number: 115 Comment Originated: 02/05/2016
02/05/2016: Swale A on the Aspen plans -- is this temporary in nature and would be eventually piped?
RESPONSE: As discussed with staff, the BDR plans have removed from the Harmony Commons Plan set.
Topic: General
Comment Number: 215 Comment Originated: 12/21/2015
02/05/2016: This didn't appear to be reflected on the site and landscape plan.
RESPONSE: As discussed with staff, the BDR plans have removed from the Harmony Commons Plan set.
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.
Comment Number: 225 Comment Originated: 12/21/2015
02/05/2016: The northern vent pipe is considered an above grade utility similar to a pedestal box, whereupon
when between the sidewalk and curb, it needs to be moved and placed 2 feet behind the sidewalk.
RESPONSE: Addressed.
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.
Comment Number: 240 Comment Originated: 02/05/2016
02/05/2016: How is it envisioned that the right turn lane for Lady Moon onto Timberwood would be built that is
indicated as a future improvement?
RESPONSE: Right turn is now part of BDR.
Comment Number: 245 Comment Originated: 02/05/2016
02/05/2016: The plat shows a 9 foot additional right-of-way dedication along Lady Moon in order to apparently
have the right turn lane built. How was the 9 foot determined? Typically turn lanes are 12 feet in width and we
would not want the parkway strip narrowing. Horizontal design information on the civil plans should be provided.
RESPONSE: 9β ROW matches needs for BDR right turn.

12/28/2015:
Adjust street tree placement at corners of the entry drives and of public streets to provide better site distance
visibility. Most street trees at these locations are very close to corners. Shift locations of street trees that will be a
problem away from corners. Show locations of stop signs and place trees 20 feet from stop signs.
RESPONSE: Trees planted in close proximity to corners have been removed or pushed back for provide for
better visibility.

The Blue Spruce at the corner of Lady Moon and Timberwood appears that it will cause a significant site
distance conflict. Place this tree at another location so the visibility at the corner can be maintained.
RESPONSE: This Blue Spruce has been moved to another location.
Comment Number: 6 Comment Originated: 12/28/2015
12/28/2015: Suggested species changes:
Red Barron Crabapple or Chanticleer Pear have an upright canopy form and would function much better than at
several of the locations where Radiant Carb is currently shown for use on the plans.
Prairie Fire Crabapple has some susceptibility to the disease fire blight and is fairly spreading in habit. Use of
Red Barron Crabapple, Chanticleer Pear or Tree Lilac would provide a much better upright growth form with
good long term survival.
Pinyon Pine is a good xeric pine but does have some problems with insects. Consider using Austrian Pine or
Wichita Blue Rocky Mountain Juniper.
RESPONSE: The plant selections have been taken into account, and Red Barron Crabapple and Austrian Pine
have replaced more disease susceptible selections.

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 itβs hard to draw clear conclusions specifically related to
these buildings.

12/23/2015: The distribution percentages using HTP and Lady Moon seem unrealistic for these three buildings
(assuming 90% will use HTP).

02/02/2016: If the TIS does not reflect the actual number of buildings to be built, and the trip distribution is
acknowledged to be different because of this (see response to comment 2), how do we know that the right turn
lane is not yet warranted? If the lane is proposed to NOT be built, we'll need a traffic memo that details the lack
of warrant.
RESPONSE: it is our understanding that all traffic issues have been resolved.
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: BDR plans added right turn lane.
