04/06/2020: FOR APPROVAL:
In the ultimate roadway design for Prospect Road, there are numerous cross
sections between Stationing 16+00 and 28+00 that show an impact to the
properties to the south. The roadway in this area is showing a increase in
elevation up to 7.0'. This ultimate roadway design would have a detrimental
impact on the property owners on the opposite side of the street. The
encroachment would require a slope easement beyond the ultimate right of way
line. The engineer will need to address this issue to either adjust the design or
show that there has been coordination with the property owners to the south.
The engineer needs to show the impact to the residents, the driveways, utilities and any other facilities.
NE Response: Design has been updated to show impacts on properties south of Prospect per
discussion with City and Town.
Comment Number: 20
04/06/2020: FOR INFORMATION:
There seems to still be some confusion on the timing of annexation,
construction, and inspection. We should schedule a meeting with the City of
Timnath and City of Fort Collins inspection staff to be sure that there are no
misunderstanding on the schedule of construction and inspection. It was discussed in previous
meetings to put together a map showing construction timing and inspection responsibility.
NE Response: Acknowledged. We will provide any help requested. As discussed since the
comment was made, current thinking is that construction will start this summer and be completed
in the fall, ahead of any jurisdictional changes.
Comment Number: 21
04/08/2020: FOR INFORMATION:
A meeting was held with Xcel and the City of Timnath on power pole relocation
and feeding the properties to the south of Prospect Road. The power poles to
the properties will need to be relocated out of the proposed improvements. It is
likely that these improvements will take place before the roadway construction.
Xcel will have to perform boring for the utilities which will need to be coordinated with the
waterline placement. John Little is aware of the situation and will be reaching out to Northern.
NE Response: PSD is in contact with Xcel and the design of the relocated utilities is underway.

Please add the following note to the signal sheet:
"Signalization shall occur only upon meeting MUTCD signal warrants. Design
and construction of signals are assumed to be within jurisdiction and/or
oversight of the Town of Timnath. Should change in jurisdiction not occur as
assumed, and signals need to be per City of Fort Collins, contractor shall
contact City Traffic immediately for coordination and any final design changes."
NE Response: Detailed signal plans are now provided and included in the offsite plans. General
Note 24 had been added to each plan in an effort to address this comment. The language we were
provided in this comment differs from what was discussed in our meeting with staff, and that
language has been left in place since we had all discussed it. If there is a need to modify it to what
is provided here, we have no issues making that change.
02/11/2020: FOR FINAL APPROVAL:
Signal plans were not submitted with this round of review. Once they are available, we'll review.

Department: Erosion Control
Contact: Basil Hamdan, 970-222-1801, bhamdan@fcgov.com
Topic: Erosion Control
Comment Number: 3
04/02/2020: FOR FINAL APPROVAL:
Please note that prior to any construction taking place the Erosion Control initial
measure will need to be installed and an initial inspection scheduled, and the
Erosion Escrow needs to be deposited. If a DCP will be issued for this site that
will need to take place prior to issuance of DCP. Otherwise, the contractor will
need to coordinate with the City's Erosion Control inspectors prior to
commencing any construction activity on the site to ensure that initial inspection
is completed and escrow was posted.
FOR FINAL APPROVAL: Thank you for addressing most of the reclined
comments. Please see ESC plans redlines for remaining issues. Mainly a lot of
the road improvements will necessitate grading to match the road to existing
grades, thus, side slopes need to be called out along the length of the proposed
road improvements and where necessary side slope erosion protection should be provided.
NE Response: Redlines have been updated.
02/06/2020 : FOR FINAL APPROVAL:
If the roads are to remain under City jurisdiction rather than Timnath, then please
address all ESC comments provided on the redlined Roadway Plans.
Please adjust the escrow calculations after addressing all provided comments as appropriate.
NE Response: Escrow has been updated.

04/03/2020: FOR FINAL APPROVAL - UPDATED:
It is understood the variance is currently in the works and will be submitted once
completed. In review of the submitted drainage report and talking with Timnath,
it is clear there are outstanding issues to address in the drainage report, mostly
issues with offsite drainage. Please see redlines for more information. It is
encouraged to set up a meeting with Timnath, and Fort Collins too, to go thru
the issues and ensure they are adequately addressed in the next update.
02/05/2020: It is understood the site is proposing to meet Town of Timnath and
New Cache drainage requirements and a variance will be completed to this end
rather than meeting City of Fort Collins' requirements. Please submit
completed variance application with signatures from these parties in order for
the variance to be reviewed by the City of Fort Collins.
Note: Fort Collins is only performing a cursory review of the plans/report
submitted as it is expected these other parties are reviewing and accepting the drainage design.
NE Response: Thank you for the comment. The drainage study has been updated to address the
comments received and incorporate the recent info along the north side of Prospect, west of
McLaughlin. We will work with staff directly to gain the approval of this document ahead of the
offsite roadway approvals so onsite construction is not delayed.

Comment Number: 01
02/11/2020: REQUIRED FIRE ACCESS: (UPDATED 4/8/2020)
There appears to be some confusion regarding fire lane requirements. Prior
discussions and plans detailed fire access however the most recent submittal
does not call out fire lanes (Emergency Access Easement) anywhere on the plat
or plans. Plans will need to be revised to define limits of EAE. Fire access
requirements provided below for reference. The applicant team there was
discussion with PFA to eliminate dedication of fire lanes and I'm hoping the
team can provide details of that discussion, especially person, date, and any
other conversations. Such information would be helpful to me at this stage.
NE Response: EAE added back to plat.
Comment Number: 02
02/11/2020: SIGNAGE:
Fire lanes are required to be visible by red curb and/or signage, and
maintained unobstructed at all times. Sign locations or red curbing should be
labeled and detailed on final plans. Refer to LCUASS detail #1418 & #1419 for
sign type, placement, and spacing. Appropriate directional arrows required on all signs.
NE Response: Fire lane signage added to onsite plans.
Comment Number: 03
02/11/2020: GATE ACCESS:
Gates shall be designed so as to be accessible by Poudre Fire Authority in the
event of an emergency. If details are not provided on the site plans, this
comment will be resolved at time of building permitting.
RB+B Response: (3) Site Vehicle Barrier Access Gates will be provided as follows:
#1 CR 5 ROW Site Access — Automated Control (UP @ 0600 / DOWN @ 2200)
#2 East end of North Property 'Maintenance Drive'— Access via Knox Key -Switch
#3 West end of North Property 'Maintenance Drive'— Access via Knox Key -Switch
Comment Number: 04
02/11/2020: ROOF ACCESS:
Early discussions with the design team touched on the need to improve roof
access in areas exceeding 30' in height and where ladder trucks could not
provide support for roof operations. I've not seen any updated proposals from
the applicant regarding this early discussion but if details are not provided with
the site plan, this comment will be resolved at time of building permit.
RB+B Response: RE: Attached 'Roof Access Diagram' Exhibit for clarification of roof access as
discussed with PFA per 11.4.19 PFA Coordination Meeting. Roof access has been provided at the
(4) corners of the building (and beyond) via code compliant ladder and/or arial access. Additionally,
per PFA's request, roof -to -roof access will be provided by aluminum ships ladders in lieu of vertical
wall ladders, as identified on the attached Exhibit.

Larimer County Engineering does not have any further comments at this time for
the PSD Prospect School Site but all comments previously made are still applicable.
NE Response: Per discussions with County staff, ultimate roadway cross sections now show existing
topography south of the existing ROW to better illustrate potential future impacts to adjacent properties.
Prospect Road centerline has also been lowered near McLaughlin to reduce the impacts to existing properties
along the south side of Prospect.
