The B& poles were increased m height from 20 feet to 24 feet. 14. Aclawwledged. NOTE: Conflict between vegetation and water Service lines 80 =sts between Mitchell Drive and parking spaces in the northwest comer of the site. As the final compliance portion of the project proceeds it is anticipated that the north/ south water service lines will move from their present location east under the parking areas and away from proposed vegetation.

Reeponm to Staff Comments Palmer Design Corte[ Pate 2 from the southeast comer of the northern portion of the building across the entry drive. There are two reasons why a pedestrian crossing is not planned for this area 1. Pedestrian circulation is impeded by a trash dumpster and transformer. In addition this is not a direct route to the Continental MOM 2. A direct route with an enhanced crosswalk is located to the south on the opposite side of the entryway and beneath the overhead building connection 12. Street names have been included with the landscape plats 6. Acknowledged. 7. One tree has been added to the front of the northerly portion of the building while two have been added to the front of the southerly portion of the building. A third tree was not added to the southerly portion of the building due to conflict with a handicap access ramp. Note: Comment numbers 8-12 have been addressed by Bud Curtis of Northern Engineering Services Inc. 8. I discussed this issue in a meeting with Basil Hamdan. This project is detaining the difference between the 2 year historic flows and the 100 year developed flows, thereby effectively reducing the peak runoff from the site. Basil agreed that as long as the above was clearly pointed out in our study, the downstream storm sewer anabms would not be required 9. A concrete pan has been designed to direct emergency overflows to Horsetooth road 10. This was revised for Pond B. The actual WQCV should be approximately 0.0269 ac.ft. and we underestimated this vol une to be apptmiinately 0.0231 ac.ft. 11. We have met with the City regarding the design and construction of the median. Attached is a copy of a letter from Tim Blanford regarding the median. The design of this median has not been included in the resubmittal of the Palmer Center because we do not have fieldwork completed, but it is out intention to provide a design to the City prior to the Hearing on January 28. 12. An access easement will be dedicated on the plat for this project, as well as an access easement that was included as a part of the plat for the Bank Project. It is my opinion, as well as Stewarts (who prepared the plat) that an "access" easement would provide the same rights as a "shared access„ easement 13. From Deans Walters of Northwest United Electric Inc. Two steps wpm undertaken to bring the Lighting plan into compliance with Section 3.2.4 of the LUC.
