01/24/2022:
FOR FINAL PLAN: The Site Plan sheet 3 lists the Heart of the Rockies zoning
as RL. Please correct this to reflect the current LMN zoning.
Response: This has been corrected
Comment Number: 6 Comment Originated: 01/24/2022
04/25/2022:
FOR HEARING - UPDATED: Upon further review since the private drive running
north/south through the site does not qualify as a private street a formal
modification for the block size requirement in 3.8.30(D) that specifies that no
block may exceed 7 acres in size must be requested. Alternatively, additional
treatments to push the private drive to a private street design may be proposed.
These can include more pedestrian amenities, a wider sidewalk with trees in
grates/wells, additional lighting, etc.
Response: A modification is being requested for block size..
01/24/2022:
FOR HEARING: For the purpose of reviewing the PDP staff only finds that the
central drive that runs north/south through the development qualifies as a private
drive per the standards found in 3.6.2. The other access drives with parking
areas are functionally parking lots, and will be reviewed as such therefore
compliance with the standards in the following comments will need to be demonstrated.
Comment Number: 9 Comment Originated: 01/24/2022
04/24/2022:
FOR HEARING - UPDATED: Please provide detail on how pedestrians and
bicyclists will not share walkways on the site. It seems that at a minimum the
walkway extending out to Lemay should be widened to the 8-foot width required
for a shared walkway between bicyclists and pedestrians. How will the other
internal walkways restrict bicyclists from conflicting with pedestrians on other walkways?
Response: The walkway out to Lemay is now 8’.
Page 3 of 15
01/24/2022:
FOR HEARING: Per 3.2.2(C) pedestrian walkways within the site must be a
raised or enhanced with a paved surface not less than 6 feet in width. The site
plan currently shows some of the walkways as 5 feet wide. Due to the
pedestrian-oriented nature of the project with its numerous walkways for
accessing the primary streets it is important that they meet this minimum width.
Furthermore, a minimum sidewalk width of 8 feet is required for walkways
where bicyclists and pedestrians may share the walkways. Please increase the
width of the currently proposed 7-foot and 5-foot sidewalks to meet these standards.
Comment Number: 14 Comment Originated: 01/24/2022
04/22/2022:
FOR HEARING - UPDATED: The maximum number of lumens as calculated on
the plan is 96,000, but your total lumen calculation amounts to 111,546 based
on the selected fixtures. Different fixtures will need to be selected to bring the
total lumens into compliance with the limit.
Response: Fixture schedule has been updated, and lumen calculation
adjusted accordingly.
01/24/2022:
FOR HEARING: Please provide a site lumen calculation using the Hardscape
Area Method (Table 3.2.4-7). The total installed initial luminaire lumens are
calculated as the sum of the initial luminaire lumens for all luminaires. Base
Allowance: LC1: 1.25 lumens per SF of hardscape.
Comment Number: 17 Comment Originated: 01/24/2022
04/25/2022:
FOR HEARING - UPDATED: The modification request lists Buildings 3 & 5 as
the ones requiring the modification, but based on staff's measurements
Buildings 1 & 6 need the modification as the rest of the buildings have their
primary entrance within 200 feet of a street sidewalk. When amending the
modification request please ensure that you're also addressing the part of the
standard related to every building's front facade with a primary entrance to a
dwelling unit facing the adjacent street to the extent reasonably feasible.
Response: Now that the design has changed, a modification will no longer
be necessary.
01/24/2022:
FOR HEARING: The two-multi-family dwellings internal to the site as well as the
two buildings in the southeast corner do not appear to meet the requirement in
3.5.2(D)(1) for orientation to a connecting walkway. Per 3.5.2(D)(1), “Every front
facade with a primary entrance to a dwelling unit shall face the adjacent street to
the extent reasonably feasible. Every front facade with a primary entrance to a
dwelling unit shall face a connecting walkway with no primary entrance more
than 200 feet from a street sidewalk and the address shall be posted to be
visible from the intersection of the connecting walkway and public right of way.
Additional walkway extensions that run in-between the buildings out to Trilby and
Lemay can help meet this standard for some of the buildings, but a modification
will need to be requested for the two internal buildings. Please provide that
request with the Round 2 submittal for staff to review.

Comment Number: 27 Comment Originated: 04/25/2022
04/25/2022:
FOR HEARING - Buildings containing 4+ dwelling units must have an
entrance/doorway facing any adjacent street that is smaller than an arterial or
has on-street parking. Staff's evaluation of this standard is that it only applies to
Building 2 as it is the only building with a façade that faces Brittany St. However,
please note that if you decide to enhance the private drive to a private street
standard than Buildings 4 & 5 would need to meet this standard. If an entrance
cannot be added than a modification must be requested. Staff will evaluate that
request upon resubmittal.
Response: A modification request is included for Building 1.
Comment Number: 28 Comment Originated: 04/25/2022
04/25/2022:
FOR HEARING: Please provide screening around the ground mounted A/C
units and other ground utilities. A combination of plantings and physical
screening such as latticing can achieve this.
Response: Additional screening has been added to the landscape plans.

Comment Number: 2 Comment Originated: 01/24/2022
4/25/2022: FOR HEARING: As a condition of approval the plans should
include a note stating that future right of way needed for the relocation of the
traffic signal. The Final Development Plans will need to include the final design
of the intersection configuration and agree to dedicate any additional
right-of-way needed with the final design. the dedication will more than likely
occur by separate document. This additional right of way will be needed to
address the utility configuration at the northwest corner of Lemay and Trilby.
01/24/2022: FOR APPROVAL: The applicant will need to address future right
of way that may be needed at the intersection of Trilby and Lemay. The analysis
should address any right-hand turn lanes needed. The traffic study addresses
the need for some right-hand turn lanes. Please coordinate with traffic and
engineering on the requirements needed for the intersections. Any additional
right of way will need to be dedicated with the plat. Projects beyond the project
frontage may qualify for TCEF funding. Additional conversations will need to
take place to discuss this issue.
HDS Response: Please reference the note added to the cover sheet and the
Lemay/Trilby sheet.
Comment Number: 3 Comment Originated: 01/24/2022
4/25/2022: FOR FINAL DESIGN: The sidewalk along Brittany Way will an
addition access easement as noted on the plat. As agreed in the PDP review
the tree lawn/parkway will be expanded to meet the current criteria.
01/24/2022: FOR APPROVAL: The sidewalk location along Brittany Way will
need to be coordinated with forestry and the existing trees to be sure the root
Page 5 of 15
system is not impacted for the existing trees.
HDS Response: Acknowledged.
Comment Number: 5 Comment Originated: 01/24/2022
4/25/2022: FOR HEARING: This comment has not been adequately
addressed. There is no bike lane on the north side of Brittany. There may need
to be bike lanes in the opposing lane of Brittany to accommodate bike traffic in
the opposing lane. This may require elimination of parking on Brittany Way on
the south side of the street and restriping of the roadway to accommodate. At
this time it is not certain what the cross section would look like if required. The
response to the comment does not address the issue.
01/24/2022: FOR APPROVAL: The existing right of way for Brittany seventy
feet. The roadway section is 50 feet. The current section has a bike lane on
the southern portion and parking. The applicant should address the striping and
the parking on the street. There should be a discussion of bike lanes and
parking and striping patterns that best fit the development for Brittany Drive.
There may need to be a separate meeting with Traffic, FCMoves, and
Engineering to discuss options.
HDS Response: Please reference the existing and proposed striping on the
Horizontal Control Plan (Sheet 3)
Comment Number: 14 Comment Originated: 01/25/2022
4/25/2022: FOR HEARING: In measuring the chord of this drive, the distance
measures 160 feet. This I believe is beyond the 150 feet per PFA criteria.
Please coordinate with PFA.
01/25/2022: FOR APPROVAL: The onsite drive for lots 1 through 4 is more
that 150-feet long. This length will need to be coordinated with Poudre Fire Department.
HDS Response: Comment resolved as of 5/2/22 meeting. For clarification,
the length of drive is added to the Horizontal Control Plan (Sheet 3).
Comment Number: 16 Comment Originated: 04/26/2022
04/26/2022: FOR HEARING: The current design still has an impact on the
fifteen-foot utility easement. The applicant will need to address that this utility is
still accessible and useable in the current design. a design of the roadway
would help address the issue but the designer has decided not to approach this
issue before approval. Please feel free to give Engineering a call to discuss
this topic.
HDS Response: The dedication of the 15’ Drainage & Utility Easement
beyond the proposed additional right-of-way provides equal uses of the
existing 15’ Drainage & Utility Easement that will be succumbed by the
additional right-of-way. It is acknowledged that site design adjustments may
needed based on potential utility access/installation needs.

04/25/2022: FOR HEARING:
The 3/4 turn interim movement condition for the Trilby Rd. access needs to be
included in the TIS. Please update the study accordingly and be sure to show
the changes to the Eagle Tree access on the south side of Trilby as well. I
heard that the applicant has reduced the number of proposed units. We would
like to see this reflected in the TIS as well. We will want to have the revised TIS
prior to the hearing. Please coordinate with the City Planner (Will Lindsay) on
deadlines for hearing packet materials.
HDS Response: As discussed, the revised TIS will be provided by Final.
Comment Number: 4 Comment Originated: 04/25/2022
04/25/2022: FOR HEARING:
Residents in the neighborhood have expressed concerns with potential sight
distance issues for the west leg of the intersection looking north at
Brittany/Lemay. It may be helpful for the discussion if it comes up at the P&Z
hearing to have an exhibit that shows the sight line to the north at this
intersection. Can the applicant's engineering consultant please put something
together and submit directly to staff?
HDS Response: A sight distance exhibit will be provided prior to hearing
(working on it now).
Comment Number: 5 Comment Originated: 04/27/2022
04/27/2022: FOR FINAL:
It looks like the proposed median in Trilby is shown differently on the utility plans
compared to the site plan. Please make sure all plans are consistent.
HDS Response: The future median has been removed from the site plan and
is only shown on the ultimate Trilby/Lemay plans in the utility plan set.
Comment Number: 6 Comment Originated: 04/27/2022
04/27/2022: FOR HEARING:
It appears that there may be some utility concerns the involve the horizontal
location of utility lines along Lemay adjacent to the site. The location of the
future southbound right turn lane at Lemay/Trilby will impact this. I did not see
the required turn lane lengths indicated in the TIS, as they typically are. It would
be good to have that information in the TIS and it is definitely needed to be able
to see where the turn lane will be located. An exhibit separate from the PDP set
that shows the future Lemay roadway geometry adjacent to this site, between
Trilby and Brittany would be helpful for the City to be able to evaluate the
potential utility issues.
HDS Response: Please reference Sheet 6 showing the ultimate build-out for
Lemay/Trilby. The decel/taper lengths shown are in reference to LCUASS.
Due to the proximity of Brittany Street, space was not available for additional
storage.

01/19/2022: For Final:
The City Manager’s development review fee schedule under City Code 7.5-2
was updated to include fees for Erosion Control and Stormwater Inspections.
As of January 1st, 2021, these fees will be collected on all projects for such inspections.
The Erosion Control fees are based on, the number of lots, the total site disturbance,
the estimated number of years the project will be active and the Stormwater Inspection
Fees are based on the number of LID/WQ Features that are designed for on this project.
Based on the proposed site construction associated with this project we are
assuming 85 lots, 8.84 acres of disturbance, 3 years from demo through build
out of construction and an additional 3 years till full vegetative stabilization due
to seeding. Which results in an Erosion Control Fee estimate of $4892.2.
Based on 0 number of porous pavers, 1 number of bioretention/level spreaders,
1 number of extended detention basins, and 0 number of underground treatments,
results in an estimate of the Stormwater LID/WQ Inspection fee to be $565.
Please note that as the plans and any subsequent review modifications of the
above-mentioned values change the fees may need to be modified. I have
provided a copy of the spreadsheet used to arrive at these estimates for you to review.
Please respond to this comment with any changes to these assumed estimates and
why, so that we may have a final fee estimate ready for this project. The fee will need
to be provided at the time of erosion control escrow.
HDS Response: Acknowledged.

01/21/2022: FOR FINAL APPROVAL:
A maintenance agreement and/or amended development agreement will be
required to establish maintenance responsibilities for the joint stormwater
facilities (rain garden and detention pond). This will include an agreement
between the church property owner and this development for these stormwater facilities.
HDS Response: Acknowledged.

04/25/2022: FOR FINAL PLAN UPDATED:
I have seen your response and understand that you are intending to provide
specific easements around the drainage facilities at FDP. Please let me know
if I am mistaken
01/21/2022: FOR FINAL PLAN:
Please address the following items regarding drainage easements:
a. I would prefer the rain garden and detention pond to have a specific
easement around each of them instead of a blanket drainage easement in Tract A.
b. The offsite flow from Heart of the Rockies lots will need to be contained
within an easement on this site. The Tract A blanket drainage easement does
cover this technically; however, I would prefer to have specific drainage
easements around these flow paths instead.
HDS Response: Acknowledged.

04/25/2022: For Hearing - Updated: No response given.
01/24/2022: For Hearing: For the detached single-family lots along Brittany,
Light & Power will need to install infrastructure adjacent to these lots along
Brittany. With the existing street trees in the parkway, it may be necessary for
L&P to install primary and vaults behind the proposed detached walk. Another
option would be to install the primary and transformers behind the single-family
detached homes with access from the private drive behind. Please coordinate
the best location for primary and equipment with L&P and show on the plan set.
Will these homes have gas, or will they be all electric?

04/25/2022: Information Only: A right turn lane on Lemay/Trilby was discussed
at a Traffic Coordination meeting. It would mean moving quite a bit of electric
infrastructure on the corner. This second round does not indicate any turn lane

The existing overhead line along Trilby is PVREA’s. There was an agreement
signed between the City and PVREA in 1985 regarding this line. Do you have
a copy of this agreement. I can send you one if you need it. The location that
the plat shows this line being installed will not work as shown. Please have the
developer contact us to discuss this line.
