Just place None after the :. This note helps us to identify and know when variance have and have not been granted to on the project. A set of final mylars will need to be submitted for signatures once all comments are addressed. The request was routed and I received no concerns regarding the vacation, so once the existing utilities have been removed and the new waterline accepted I can process the easement vacation. Once I have the resolution written I can let you know what the filing fees will be. The easement vacation request and legal description was received. The legal is being reviewed and the request will be routed. As for the timing of the easement vacation the easement cannot actually be vacated until the waterline has been relocated and accepted in the new location. The waterline relocation work cannot start until the plans are approved and a Development Construction Permit (DCP) has been issued for the project. The legals for the three deeds of dedication have been reviewed and look good. To be able to accept these easement dedications the following is needed: 1. Application and processing fee of $250 per easement. Paid to City of Fort Collins. You may be able to dedicate all 3 of these with one document, but that all depends on if the property underlying all of these is the same or not. 2. Deeds provided signed by the owner and the attorney certification signed by the owners attorney. If you utilize our standard format I do not need to see the deeds before you get them signed. If there are any modifications made to the standard format I would recommend that you provide them for City review and approval before obtaining signatures. 3. I will need a check for the filing fees. I can't determine what this amount will be until I have all the documents and know how many pages it will be. Once I have the final documents I can provide you with the amount of the County's filing fees and will need a check made out to Larimer County Clerk. The deeds of dedication will need to be received and in acceptable format before I can sign the utility plan mylars. With this project any damaged public curb, gutter and sidewalk existing prior to construction, as well as public streets, sidewalks, curbs and gutters, destroyed, damaged or removed due to construction of this project along and adjacent to the public streets, shall be replaced or restored in like kind at the Developer's expense prior to the acceptance of completed improvements and/or prior to the issuance of the first Certificate of Occupancy. The limits of the repairs will be identified in the field by the City Engineering Inspector prior to and over the course of the project and will not be shown on the plans. We are aware of some areas of damaged sidewalk that will need to be repaired. A Development Construction Permit will need to be obtained prior to starting any utility or grading work on the site. I will send off the application form and information on this. We can have the preconstruction meeting prior to approval of the plans and minor amendment, but the permit cannot be issued until after the projects plans and the minor amendment have been signed off on and approved. `r �rtecf January 7, 2013 Mr. Peter Barnes vr City of Fort Collins 281 North College Avenue Fort Collins, CO 80521 RE: PVHS — Harmony Campus Cancer Center Addition Dear Peter, On behalf of Poudre Valley Health System, we wanted to share with you some background on the Cancer Center Addition project seeking approval by Minor Amendment. The building addition is the result of nearly a decade of planning and fundraising toward the development of a much -needed fully functional cancer treatment center in Fort Collins. The project was originally to be a stand-alone Cancer Center on undeveloped land at Harmony Campus. Through the extensive planning phases, the plans were revised in November 2011 to instead construct an addition to the already existing Cancer Center of the Rockies facility on Harmony Campus. This existing facility houses the System's radiation oncology department and was recently remodeled to make room for a TrueBeam STx linear accelerator, regarded as the world's most advanced technology for treating cancer and other potentially life -threatening illnesses. By making this relocation adjustment for the Cancer Center, PVHS is able to leverage these recent technological advances to develop a comprehensive center for the community with greater efficiencies and cost savings. The design process for this center has been extensive. In 2012, PVHS held three week-long sessions involving 25 physicians and cancer patients to gain their ideas for how to best meet the needs of patients. The physicians were from various disciplines to help ensure that they designed a fully functional center for the betterment of all patients and building occupants. During the fundraising and development stages of the Cancer Center over the last seven years, PVH has issued press releases offering updates. These news announcements were reported through the local newspapers, television and radio, as well as on VIC's news page and ProviderLink, their intranet for physicians. In addition, several widely publicized fundraisers were held during those years. They also placed information on their Page 1 of 2 landscape architecture I planning I urban design MA130001 PVH Harmony Campus Expansion January 25, 2013 Missing the City's General Notes. These need to be included in the plan set. Please let me know if you need me to send them to you. Need two City Benchmarks placed on the plans. Note C.2 on the cover sheet. I believe that the report was by Stantec not santec. The easement vacation request and legal description was received. The legal is being reviewed and the request will be routed. As for the timing of the easement vacation the easement cannot actually be vacated until the waterline has been relocated and accepted in the new location. The waterline relocation work cannot start until the plans are approved and a Development Construction Permit (DCP) has been issued for the project. It looks like one of the new Fire hydrants (the one closest to the building) is not actually located within the existing utility easement. If the proposed Fire hydrant is to remain in this location dedication of a utility easement will be needed prior to approval of the plans. I can provide you will base dedication documents and information on this process if you need it. The new sewer line appears to be crossing two areas in which utility easements do not exist. Dedication of utility easements for these areas is needed prior to approval of the plans. I can provide you with base dedication language and information on this process if you need it. With this project any damaged public curb, gutter and sidewalk existing prior to construction, as well as public streets, sidewalks, curbs and gutters, destroyed, damaged or removed due to construction of this project along and adjacent to the public streets, shall be replaced or restored in like kind at the Developer's expense prior to the acceptance of completed improvements and/or prior to the issuance of the first Certificate of Occupancy. The limits of the repairs will be identified in the field by the City Engineering Inspector prior to and over the course of the project and will not be shown on the plans. We are aware of some areas of damaged sidewalk that will need to be repaired. Need to make sure that it is clear that the curb, gutter, sidewalk and ramp details provided on the plans is for on -site use only and does not apply to any work to be done on the public sidewalk system or streets. website and published articles in Poudre Valley Health, the community newsletter mailed to 80,000 households. Even with this continued outreach, some physicians at Harmony Campus have expressed to PVH that they weren't fully informed of the project. As a result, PVH held a public design review meeting on October 31, 2012 and a public owner's meeting on November 27, 2012 to discuss key project issues. During these meetings, site and parking access was a key consideration. As a result, PVH commissioned a parking study through an outside consultant. The findings support the addition, confirm that the amount of parking spaces is adequate, and make recommendations for prompt snow removal so that existing parking remains fully usable to lessen the perception of limited parking. PVH met again with the Harmony Campus owners last week on January 3 to present and further discuss the parking study. PVH is following up with a snow removal plan as well as a parking plan that would define employee parking areas leaving up -close parking for patients and visitors. They also plan to complete another parking study once the project begins construction and the parking spaces are removed to monitor the effects and make any resulting adjustment to parking assignments or maintenance practices. PVH plans to continue to work closely with physicians and tenants at the Harmony Campus to ensure its continued success as a key part of healthcare delivery in Fort Collins. If you would like to view the parking study or any additional information with the review of the building addition plans, please let us know. Sincerely, For BHA Design, Inc. Angela K.

There is an existing water main which crosses the area included in this easement vacation; therefore, the easement cannot be vacated until the new water line is installed, tested and accepted by the City.
