A copy of the comments received from U.S. West is attached to this letter. 2. The Mapping Department has offered the following comments: a. With two lines shown as SH68 right-of-way, it is unclear as to what is the right-of-way. b. Describe the outer boundary monuments. C. What is the area between the SH68 right-of-way and the outer boundary? d. Make sure all easements have or are tied to the boundary or lot lines. Some distances and bearings are missing. 3. A copy of the comments received from the Colorado Department of Transportation is attached to this letter. 4. The Light & Power Department has offered the following comments: a. The "UGE" shown on then utility plans crossing County Road 9 just north of East Harmony road is not yet there. This crossing will need to be installed to provide service to Symbios Logic. b. In order to install the planned Light & Power underground electric along County Road 9 and maintain clearance to other utilities, an additional 6 foot wide (minimum) easement is needed along County Road 9. 281 North College Avenue • P.O. Box 580 • Fort Collins, CO 80522-0580 • (970) 221-6750 FAX (970) 221-6378 • TDD (970) 224-6002 5. Sensitivity to the surrounding area, especially the residential neighborhoods, must be considered as the lighting plan is developed for this project. The building exterior lighting and parking lot/area lighting locations should be shown on the Site Plan and Building Elevations. Detailed "cut sheets" for lighting should be submitted for review. 6. The Poudre Fire Authority has stated that their Fire Operations Chief (Uthmann) requests additional fire hydrants at the entrances on County Road 9 and Harmony Road, as well as installation of hydrants as shown The building must be fully fire sprinklered to NFC standard 13. The development must provide 30' unobstructed rescue access roadway to the building for aerial apparatus operations. 7. The Zoning Department has offered the following comments: a. The Site Plan seems to show only 10 handicapped parking spaces although the text indicates 12 spaces. The Code requirement is a minimum of 8 spaces. b. The building elevations show the building to be 46 feet in height and the Site Plan indicates a 40 feet height, unless a height variance is approved. A height variance was approved with the preliminary PUD (need to check the preliminary PUD for approved height) and the Site Plan should note this. 8. The Water/Wastewater Department has indicated that the water main and other utilities in the southeast corner are not shown. Will all the utilities that want to be in this area fit? 9. More landscaping is needed along the arterial streets, as per the Harmony Corridor Plan. Beef up the amount of Burr Oak. The landscaping at the southeast corner of the site should be "jazzed up". There should be contingency landscaping planned if the detention pond doers not occur. Why are no earthen berms, consistent with Hewlett-Packard, planned along Harmony road? 10. A copy of the comments received from the Water Conservation Specialist is attached to this letter. 11. The Engineering Department has indicated that the relocation of the access to the farmhouses needs to be 20' wide and the plans are showing only a 10' width. The driveway needs to be looped or an 80' diameter turnaround needs to be provided. A preliminary design for the Corbett Drive intersection must be provided. 12. The Transportation Department has offered the following comments: a. The striping plan for Harmony road acceleration lane shows a transition that is too close to the intersection. b. Signing on County Road 9 and Harmony road must conform to CDOT and City of Fort Collins requirements. C. Show the traffic signal pole(s) at the Harmony Road/Corbett Drive intersection that must be relocated. Show the new location. An intersection design is needed to ensure that the pole is moved only one time. d. Will the existing overhead power lines be moved? There may be a conflict between the power lines and the li.ght pole. 13. Kathleen Reavis of the Transportation Department should be contacted about plans for bicycle lanes along Harmony Road. The Site Plan should show how the Harmony Road bike path fits with new and existing. Kathleen can be reached at 221-6608. 14. A copy of the Stormwater Utility comments is attached to this letter. 15. The ultimate width of Harmony Road in this location must be determined because the Harmony Corridor Plan requires that all improvements be set back a minimum of 80' for the ultimate edge of pavement. 16. More screening should be provided for the service area at the north end of the building. 17. It would be clearer if the PUD plans (Site, Landscapes, Building Elevations) were all numbered together and consecutively as a set ... i.e.: Sheets 1, 2, 3, and 4 of 4. 18. A general note should be added to the Landscape Plan about coordination between consultants.
