Department: PFA Issue Contact: Carle Dann Topic: Fire Number: 76 Created: 3/30/2006 [3/30/06] SECONDARY ACCESS LANES: PFA acknowledges the two lanes shown to provide secondary access and are designated for "Emergency Vehicles Only'. These two easements shall be constructed of an all-weather driving surface (asphalt or concrete) that can support the weight of fire apparatus. The applicant said they would install a gate and Knox Lock at each of these access lanes; however, PFA would prefer signage only, and if private vehicles begin using the emergency access drives as a public street, then install a gate and Knox Lock. (All specifications for fire lanes shall apply to these two Emergency Access Easements; see comment 77 for information.) Number: 77 Created: 3/30/2006 [3/30/06] FIRE LANE: A fire lane is required throughout all drive aisles in Tracts F and G, and Green Lake Court and Flagstaff Court.

The fire lane shall be a flat, hard, all-weather driving surface (asphalt or concrete) capable of supporting fire apparatus weights. Compacted road base shall be used only for temporary fire lanes or at construction sites.

Page 2 STAFF PROJECT REVIEW City of Fort Collins VF RIPLEY Date: 03/31/2006 AMY JOHNSON/CATHY MATHIS 401 WEST MOUNTAIN AVENUE, SUITE 201 FORT COLLINS, CO 80521 Staff has reviewed your submittal for TRAILHEAD VILLAGE TOWNHOMES PDP - TYPE I, and we offer the following comments: ISSUES: Department: Current Planning Issue Contact: Anne Aspen Topic: General Number: 69 Created: 3/29/2006 [3/29/06] 1 think the sidewalk solution works well, as does the new parking lot layout. Thanks for your time and effort to address these issues. Topic: Architectural Elevations Number: 72 Created: 3/29/2006 [3/29/06] Please submit material spec boards or label elevations with colors. Refer to 4.4(E)(4)(d) for more detail. Remember too that per 4.4(E)(4)( c) there need to be at least 3 distinctly different designs. Topic. Landscape plan Number: 73 Created: 3/29/2006 [3/29/06] The ring walkway is technically a major walkway spine and as such, needs to be lined on both sides with trees. Since the project is right up against the property line, there is little room to provide this. Perhaps you could add a few crabapples on the residential side. Number: 75 Created: 3/29/2006 [3/29/06) The parking that faces the existing trees and buffer needs to be screened. Again, since the project is right up against the property line, this may be challenging. Screening can either be taller shrubs or a combination fence and landscaping. My suggestion would be to change the parking spaces to compact dimensions and use shrubs for screening so that the view out to the trees is minimally obstructed. Number: 81 Created: 3/31/2006 [3/31/06] Ensure that the proposed street trees are properly spaced and not in the required utility separation areas. Topic: Lighting Plan Number: 68 Created: 3/29/2006 [3/29/06] The lighting plan is beautiful! 1 wish I had a gold star sticker to put on it. Good fixture_ choices, good lighting levels, and good shielding. Bravo!! Department: Engineering Issue Contact: Dan DelLaughter Topic.
