01/06/2016: We need a fiancial guarantee for the landscaping both in the Public
Right of way including the median and the 80ft buffer area.
08/03/2015: When will the landscaping be completed? We may need a financial
guarantee in place before final approval.
We will need financial guarantee before approval for both the landscaping in the 80ft
buffer and the median.

01/06/2016: It is the City's understanding that the Landscaping in the irrigation
easement is being reviewed with the easement holder and the applicant.
Are there any changes to what has been submitted?

Topic: Construction Drawings
01/06/2016: The civil plans need to label the easements that at least fall within the
limits of development for the project. The area along Harmony Road in particular
should be labeling this information and not relying on referring to the plat for
Harmony Technology Park 2nd Filing.

01/06/2016: Based upon the irrigation easement location that would be identified as
noted in the previous comment, I would want the engineer to identify whether any
irrigation easement holder would need to sign on the construction plans.

01/06/2016: Please add the tuning movement that depicts the right turn lane from
eastbound Harmony to southbound Technology Parkway.
11/24/2015: John indicated he would email this.
08/03/2015: Please provide turning templates for the Harmony Road/Technology
Parkway and Technology Parkway/Timberwood Drive intersections in accordance
with 8.2.8 of LCUASS.

01/06/2016: Carried over as unresolved. Note that the plans would need to be
revised should permission for work on Intel property not be obtained.
11/24/2015: The permission from Intel for work on their property is required prior to
approval of the plans.
08/03/2015: The limits of development show that construction is occurring on Intel,
which would require some sort of easement, letter from Intel for doing work that falls
within their property. Additionally, easement would appear to be needed for
construction and grading on both sides of Timberwood Drive.
Comment Number: 6 Comment Originated: 08/03/2015
01/06/2016: Please show a scale for the Harmony Road grading detail on sheet.
Please add existing striping along Harmony Road for the area that's currently
depicted (show right turn lane striping, bikelane, through lane(s) if within the view
shown on the grading area.) Please add a descriptor to this plan sheet and index
sheet info that this sheet contains Harmony Road grading information. This detail
area should be clearly showing the property line boundary.
11/24/2015: The plans to me are still unclear with the intention on the north side of
the property abutting Harmony Road. While the sidewalk is now depicted to curve to
the north, the plans don't indicate the removal of an irrigation structure that is
situated under the sidewalk, a note on the plan indicates a drainage ditch is to
remain, which wouldn't seem to work with the proposed berming. The wattles
shown on the plans, if not illustrative, would be within the travel lanes of eastbound
Harmony Road. The plans should at least be showing existing contours and spot
elevations along Harmony Road as well. The indication of berming by landscape
architect is confusing as well, as the grading needs to be specified on the civil plans.
08/03/2015: Based on the signal pole location at the southeast corner of the
intersection on the Harmony Road and Technology Parkway Intersection plans, the
redesigned sidewalk to intersect further south is problematic as it forces
pedestrians heading west along Harmony to make a u-turn type movement to get to
the signal pole to cross either Harmony or Technology Parkway. The walk along
Harmony Road east of Technology Parkway should curve to the north, not to the
south in order to better connect to the specified signal pole location on the southeast
corner of the intersection.

01/06/2016: The additional information identifying the sidewalk, curb, etc. is helpful,
thanks. Please ensure that existing grading information is carried to at least the
right-of-way and it is demonstrated that proposed grading from the back of walk ties
into existing (with the indication that the grading does not exceed 4:1). STA 11+50,
12+00 and others need this additional information.
11/24/2015: The cross sections aren't showing right-of-way lines on both sides at
all locations. In addition, the cross sections should be identifying curb and gutter,
sidewalk, and grading behind the sidewalk and/or curb and gutter. Note that there
are cross slopes that are substandard in the 12+50 area.
08/03/2015: Please provide cross sections of Technology Parkway at 50 foot
intervals.

01/06/2016: Please ensure that the irrigation line is shown on the plans to be
sleeved, for ease of repair without cutting the street. An encroachment permit will be
required though Engineering Inspection for its placement.
11/24/2015: The response is unclear as it only refers to the planning consultant.
08/03/2015: Please provide verification on the intent of the median maintenance. Is
MAVD agreeing to the ongoing irrigation and landscaping maintenance of the
Technology Parkway median? The plans should be showing how irrigation is
provided to the median and where the control box/backflow system is located.

01/03/2016: WATER SUPPLY
A few adjustments are required of the utility plan as it relates to proposed hydrant
placement. (1) A hydrant is required at Harmony Road on the west side of the street
connection with Technology Parkway. (2) The proposed hydrant on the east side of
Technology Parkway, just south of Harmony Rd may be eliminated. (3) The
proposed hydrant on the north side of Timberwood Dr (just east of Technology
Parkway) needs to be relocated to the south side of the road and close to that
intersection. Code language provided below. Please contact me with questions.
> IFC 508.1 and Appendix B: COMMERCIAL REQUIREMENTS: Hydrants to provide
1,500 gpm at 20 psi residual pressure, spaced not further than 300 feet to the
building, on 600-foot centers thereafter.

Topic: Erosion Control
12/24/2015: Erosion Control Plan was acceptable to changes and comments.
Erosion Control Report could not be found with submitted materials, and neither
could the Escrow / Security Calculation. Both materials will need to be review for
compliance with the Criteria. Response comments "Final Drainage and Erosion
Control Report submitted with escrow calculated. Erosion Control Plan was
submitted with the report, with a SWMP to follow (prior to construction) for the
improvements and to addres comments above. " Please resubmit materials for
review as this has not been recieved.
11/24/2015: The site disturbs more than 10,000 sq-ft, therefore Erosion and
Sediment Control Materials need to be submitted for FDP. The erosion control
requirements are in the Stormwater Design Criteria under the Amendments of
Volume 3 Chapter 7 Section 1.3.3. Current Erosion Control Materials Submitted do
not meet requirements. Please submit; Erosion Control Plan (Plan was generally
comprehensive still have two minor redlines to address), Erosion Control Report
(Report will need to be produced I could not find a copy with submitted materials),
and an Escrow / Security Calculation (Escrow Calc will need to be provided with the
plan and report). If you need clarification concerning the erosion control section, or if
there are any questions please contact Jesse Schlam 970-218-2932 or email @

Topic: General
01/05/2016: Ulimtate layout looks good. Can you change Note #10 on sheet C-036
to read: Signalization of Harmony Road / Technology Parkway will occur only at
such time when the City has determined that signal warrants would be met if the
access were full movement. Ultimate striping plan for Technology Parkway shall be
implemented after intersection signalization.
11/25/2015: It may help to create an interim layout and an ultimate layout for
Harmony Tech and Harmony Road intersection. The interim needs to show the
median restricting left turns out (this needs to go in when the road is built. The
interim striping needs to stripe out the northbound left turn lanes. The ultimate
needs to show signal pole locations etc., and receiving striping on the north side of
Harmony for lane alignment.
The median in Harmony to restrict turns needs to go in when the road is built.
08/03/2015: The intersection at Harmony and Harmony Tech Parkway will be
signalized when the development in HTP generates enough traffic that if a signal
was there, it would be warranted. No actual counts will be needed, but
estimated/calculated trip generation from the TIS will be used. IN THE INTERIM:
once traffic starts to be generated on the south side of Harmony, the intersection
needs to be restricted to double 3/4 (left ins allowed, no lefts out) through the use of
an intersection median. Once development has build out enough to meet the
warrant, the median can be removed and the signal installed.

08/03/2015: Please revise the water main to reduce the two lowerings that cross
under the smaller storm sewers that have the street inlets.
The City wants to minimize waterline lowerings to reduce the risk of main breaks
and reduce maintenance.
