10/24/2014: Volume detention and water quality are both provided in the existing detention
pond south of Timberwood Drive so this development will not need to provide its own. It is not

traffic memo for this proposal. It needs to estimate the daily and hourly traffic for the ED, and
then analyze the capacity of the intersection of Snow Mesa and Harmony to verifty that there is
adequate capacity without any needed improvements. Have your traffic engineer contact me to
scope the memo - it should be pretty straightforward.

The Poudre Valley Hospital A -wing Replacement PDP 140019 project has recently been
submitted. It appears that this project will include a significant amount of tree mitigation of which
some may need to occur off -site. A tree mitigation plan for the A -wing replacement project will
likely soon be in place.
It is suggested that the Poudre Valley Health System Harmony Campus Free Standing
Emergency Department project could be considered as a location for mitigation trees from
PDP 140019 if off -site tree planting is needed from the Lemay and Doctors Lane project.
If this occurs provide appropriate documentation on both project plans.
Responsa: We have mat with the City Forester regarding the A -Wing site and have indicated mitigation tree
locations for A -Wing on both sets of plans. The total amount of mitigation trees required for the A -Wing
project is 75. We plan to use 40 mitigation trees on the A -Wing redevedopmant sit--; so 35 mitigation treys
are included in our plans for the Harmony Emergency Department project.

12/19/2014: EMERGENCY ACCESS EASEMENT
As currently proposed, the EAE does not allow access to within 150' of all portions of the
building as is required by code. The building is approximately 220' out of access given the
current proposal. Adjusting the EAE to include the drive aisle on the NE portion of the site will
reduce the out of access condition to approximately 115'. As the building will have a fire
sprinkler system installed, this would be more within range of acceptance for an out of access
condition.
