The fire marshal is requesting an auto-turn exhibit be submitted in order to evaluate design feasibility at this location. Code language provided below. > IFC 503.2.4 and Local Amendments: The required turning radii of a fire apparatus access road shall be a minimum of 25 feet inside and 50 feet outside. Comment Number: 7 Comment Originated: 05/30/2016 05/30/2016: SIGNAGE PLAN The question came up at the staff meeting on 6/1/2016 if the middle, north-south drives were required to be fire lanes. The answer is yes for two reasons. (1) I re-measured the site and confirmed that the furthest homes lay outside the 150' minimum fire access requirement; and (2) the expectation of the crews responding in fire apparatus is that they should be able to make these turns in order to arrive on scene in the most time efficient manner. See redlines: > Fire lane signage as shown on the Horizontal Control Plan appears to have omitted labeling the North to South fire lane in the middle of the site. > In addition, an additional sign would be needed on the furthest SW corner at the dead-end. Comment Number: 8 Comment Originated: 05/30/2016 05/30/2016: WAYFINDING The wayfinding plan does not include signage at the North to South drive in the middle as shown on the Site Plan.

Please fix the following discrepancies: 22 'CA' are indicated in the plant schedule but the landscape plan only shows 18. 54 'SM' are indicated in the plant schedule but the landscape plan only shows 52.

Comment Number: 16 Comment Originated: 05/27/2016 Topic: Site Plan 05/27/2016: This has not been corrected. 05/03/2016: Some of the easement descriptions shown are incorrect. If they are going to stay on the plan, they should match what is shown on the Subdivision Plat.

Comment Number: 1 Comment Originated: 05/03/2016 05/03/2016: On sheet 3, extend the revised striping on Harmony for 350 ft east of the proposed access (not just a total of 350 from the median). Also, please detail the striping: Two Way Left Turn Lane. All yellow, 4" solid stripe 4" gap, 4" broken stripe (10 ft line and 30 ft gap). Comment Number: 2 Comment Originated: 05/03/2016 05/03/2016: Please review the placement of trees in the vicinity of the access point to Harmony. The approach to the stop sign MUST be clear so the sign is easily visible (there's a tree shown within 15 ft of the stop sign). And, with the stop sign behind the detached walk, the trees in the parkway cannot impact sight distance onto Harmony. The trees closest to the access may need to be moved (especially the large one on the east side) Comment Number: 3 Comment Originated: 05/03/2016 Department: Transportation Planning Contact: Emma Belmont, 970-224-6197, ebelmont@fcgov.com Topic: General 05/11/2016: For the bus stop a type 2 (Bench) stop will be required for this location. The developer is responsible for upgrading the concrete surface of the bus stop to meet City standards. The bench, bike rack and trash will also need to be accommodated for by the developer. You have the option to pay Transfort for the amenities and we will take responsibility for purchasing and installing them or you can purchase and install them yourself. We will need to work with you on the DA language depending which route you take. I have been in communication with Sara Coutts on this. If you have any additional questions please do not hesitate to contact me. Comment Number: 1 Comment Originated: 05/11/2016 Page 4 of 4
