Comment Summarv: Department: Engineering Development Review Contact: Marc Virata, 970-221-6567, mvirata@fcgov.com Topic: General Comment Number: 1 � Comment Originated: 07/25/2017 07/25/2017: The name of fhe projeet on the plans (except eivil plans) is indicated as Lot 1 Harmony Commons, which would imply that this project would move ahead and be filed ahead of Lot 2 Harmony Commons 2nd Filing and its associated plat, Harmony Commons 2nd Filing. I believe however that the intention is to have the plans reflect the title on the civil drawings, being Harmony Commons, Seeond Filing Lot 1, which would have this project record after the Lot 2 project that is currently under final compliance (and would establish the easements depicted on the plan through that associated plat) . Please coordinate accordingly. Comment Number: 2 Gomment OCiginated: 07/25/2017 07/25/2017: The lot numbers shown on the site and landscape plans are generally mixed-up and should reflect the status accordingly with the timing options in the previous comment. � � Comment Number: 3 Comment Originated: 07/25/2017: The civil drawings reflect the storm infrastructure being built with Lot 2 on this property as existing. I'll want to track the timing of the Lot 2 work such that at the time of approval of these plans, it is noted as either existing, or to be constructed with Lot 2. Comment Number: 4 Comment Originated: 07/25/2017: The civil drawings reflect some offsite grading on Lot 7(and landscaping work on fhe landscape plan) as well as grading on Outlot A (MAVD). We shou.ld get an emaiUletter from MAVD indicating their OK with both the grading on their property, as well as confirmation on their OK in concept to the future ped path depiction between their lot 7 and this property that they're acknowledging will be built with their development.

Comment Number: 5 Comment Originated: 07/28/2017 07/28/2017: PARAPE�T HEIGHTS _ A conversation between PFA development review representative, Cal Sheesley and the project team during a city staff review on 7.26.17 regarding parapet heights was in error. As the project largely meets aerial access requirements in all other areas of the building's perimeter, roof access by fire personnel will not be affected by parapet heights in this particular circumstanee. Please disregard prior comments. 4 De artment: Plannin Services P 9 Contact: Ted Shepard, 970-221-6343, tshepardC�fcqov.com Topic: General Comment Number: 1 � Comment Originated: 07/26/2017 07/26/2017: Staff is concerned that at eight feet, the plaza may not be of sufficient width: For example, the head-in parking stalls are only 17 feet in length which means there will be a two-foot overhang into the plaza which reduces the plaza to six feet wide. In addition, the free grates appear to be within this two-foot overhang putting the tree perilously close to the front bumper. Staff recommends enlarging the width of the plaza by reducing the size of the planter and sh'ifting the tree grates away from the vehicle overhang. Ofherwise, the plaza runs the risk of not being functional. Comment Number: 2 Comment Originated: 07/26/2017 07/26/2017: And/or, has the applicant considered �educing the number of parking stalls immediately next to the plaza? Why is it necessary or desirable to have head-in parking so close to the building? For example, at my doctor's office building, there is zero head-in parking in front of the building and all patients and staff must traverse the parking lot at no detriment to convenience. The relationship of the head-in parking to the plaza and buildings appears prioritize the automobile over the pedestrian and lends a strip-commercial appearance to the project. Comment Number: 3 Comment Originated: 07126/2017 07/26/2017: There is ane tree grate that is placed too close to the parking stall and would inhibit the passenger door from opening. Comment Number: 4 Comment Originated: 07/26/2017 07/26/2017: Staff recommends that the compact parking stalls not be used. Generally, compact spaces work best when located in an area that would serve long term parking only such as for employees or residents. These spaces are in front of a medical office building where high turnover, short term parking is expected. In addition, placing parking stalls that are only 15 feet in length head-to-head does not provide any opportunity for vehicle overhang. Normally, the parking stall length in fhe middle of the parking lot is 19 feet. At only 15 feet, his will result in a four foot overhang per drive aisle effectively reducing these drive aisle widths from 24 to 20 feet and impacting maneuverability for all users of the parking lot. Flease note that Section 3.2.2(L) requires a 24-foot wide drive aisle in cases where 90-degree parking is served by a two-way drive aisle. Comment Number: 5 Comment Originated: 07/26/2017 07/26/2017: Please add an explanatory note to the Site Plan that fully describes the status, in both the short and long term, as to the cost-sharing with the owner of Lot Seven and ultimate construction of the shared path along the west property line. 5 � � Department: Stormwater Engineering Contac#; Jesse Schlam, 970 218-2932, ischlam@fcgov.com Topic: Erosion Control Comment Number: 1 Comment Originated: 07h 8/2017 07/18/2017: 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 fhe Amendments of Volume 3 Chapter 7 Section 1,3.3, Current Erosion Control Materials Submitted do not meet requirements. Please submit; an Erosion Control Plan, an Erosion Control Report, and an Escrow / Security Calculation. Also, based upon the area of disturbance State permits for stormwater will be required since the site is over an acre.
