Dear Brad:
As you are aware, Staff has passed along most of our comments regarding the
Townhomes at Timber Creek, Preliminary P.U.D., directly in our meeting last Friday
July 16, 1999. Remaining comments and redline prints from Engineering, Stormwater,
Water&Wastewater, Transportation Planning, Poudre Fire Authority and Public Service
Company are attached. The comments that pertain to the site or landscape plans are
summarized as follows:
The Water&Wastewater Utility requests that there be ten feet of separation
between water and sewer services and all permanent structures (i.e. trash
enclosures, entry signage, garages, etc.).
2. As we have discussed, the three foot walk to the entries should be widened to four
feet.
The Poudre Fire Authority requests that address numerals be at least six inches in
height and placed on a contrasting background.
4. Three fire hydrants are required:
A. One at the entrance to the project.
B. One at the first interior intersection.
C. One prior to the cul-de-sac on the east.
As we discussed with Susie Gordon, your project is eligible for individual
dwelling unit pick up for recyclable materials. However, you have indicated a
desire to provide centralized trash collection in enclosed dumpsters. Some
thought needs to be put into how you envision the pick up of recyclable materials.
Do you want to include centralized recyclable containers within the dumpster
enclosure? If so, please be sure there is adequate space. Or do you want each

unit to be able to put out their individual recyclable materials? This issue should
be resolved at Preliminary so trash enclosures can be designed accordingly.
6. At Final, we recommend that the Landscape Plan indicate phase lines. This will
make it easier to obtain Certificates of Occupancy.
As mentioned, we will try to schedule this item for the August 19, 1999 Planning and
Zoning Board meeting. Please note that we will need the P.M.T.'s, eight sets of plans
(folded), and one set of colored renderings (rolled) by Monday, August 2, 1999.
Comments that pertain to the Utility Plans and Drainage Report should be incorporated
into the next submittal for Final P.U.D.
Comments that pertain to the site and landscape plan, however, should be shown on set of
revised plans and returned to the Current Planning Department by Friday July 30, 1999.
We would like to see how the some of the sidewalk circulation issues have been resolved
prior to the Planning and Zoning Board hearing. These plans will be reviewed at the
August 4, 1999 Staff Review meeting. Please submit seven revised site and landscape
plans.
If you have any questions, please feel free to call our office at 221-6750.
Sincerely;
Ted Shepard
Chief Planner
