COMMENTS: 1. The electrical power will be supplied from the transformer located behind Pace Warehouse to a new, separate transformer for Builders Square. Power will than be looped back to the existing service on Oak Ridge Drive. Either 120/208 or 277/480 is available. 2. Normal development charges will apply. Preliminary estimates are that develop- ment charges will be approximately $30,000. Please contact either Bruce Vogel or Doug Martine at 221-6700 for further details. 3. All electrical facilities should be in a prescribed or blanket easement. 4. The Water and Sewer Department asks that the developer conform to the approved plans for the Harmony Market P.U.D. 5. The Storm Drainage Department will require that the existing Drainage Report be updated. The fees will likely be similar to those charged to Pace. 6. With more than 5,000 square feet on uncontained floor area, an automatic fire sprinkler system will be required. 7. It is likely that there will be high rack storage of combustible material. If so, then the Uniform Fire Code will require smoke and heat vents. Enclosed please find a copy of Article 81 "High-Piled Combustible Storage" of the U.F.C. Please call Roger Frasco, 221-6570, for further details. 8. The following comments refer to the Traffic Impact Analysis: A. At this stage, it should be decided what development action will trigger the completion of Oak Ridge Drive to Lemay Avenue. If this issue is resolved, then future development can occur with all parties aware of the obligations. • 13. The Analysis should evaluate the trip distribution and the impact of not having Oak Ridge Drive completed to Lemay Avenue. C. There may be a variety of traffic related questions that arise out of the neighborhood information meeting. The developer and the traffic consultant should be prepared to respond to these questions at some point during the review process. 9. The necessary utility easements and right-of-way dedications along Harmony Road and Oak Ridge Drive should be made on the plat. 10. The sidewalk on Oak Ridge Drive should be four feet wide and detached from the curb by 9 - 10 feet. The parkway strip should be planted with deciduous street trees. If the sidewalk is located outside the right-of-way, then it should be placed in a public access easement. If there are .plans for berming, then Staff can work with the landscape consultant on how best to achieve both public access and lands- caping objectives. 11. Staff agrees that mature trees on Harmony Road should not be disturbed and that there should be flexibility in this area to preserve the natural amenity. Staff will coordinate with Linda Ripley who is project manager for the Harmony Road Corridor Plan. 12. The Poudre Fire Authority requests that there be fire fighting access doors located every 100 feet along the exterior walls. Please contact Roger Frasco for details. 13. The outdoor storage area on the east should be sensitive to the views from Lemay, Harmony and Oak Ridge. Staff will be evaluating the effectiveness of the coated chainlink fence. Storage should not exceed the height of the fence. 14. Staff is concerned about the amount of signage along the front of the building. This amount of signage influences the character of the development and the archi- tectural integrity of the building. Staff will be evaluating this signage component of the project. 15. The front elevation will be long and continuous due to the length of the building. Staff will evaluate the architectural and landscape treatments that are designed to soften this building mass.
