As far as I know, the City is still planning on having that street connect to Timberline Road to serve the properties along Hoffman Mill Road that are on a long dead end unless the road connects to Timberline Road. • Timberline Road will have an access control plan - do the proposed access points and the Hoffman Mill Road intersection fit with any proposed plans for access control that the City is working on ? • Are medians in Timberline Road needed with this project to restrict access points? If so, does the developer need to dedicate additional r.o.w. at this time ?

Staff has reviewed your documentation for the Timberline Lakes PUD - Preliminary that were submitted to the City on December 23, 1996, and would like to offer the following comments: 1. TCI of Fort Collins stated that they will need additional utility easements to service all of the lots shown on the preliminary plat. At this time there would be no way to provide service to Lots 4, 5, 9, 10, and 12 because they do not abut the 15' drainage, utility, and slope easement. 2. U.S. West stated that they will require a utility coordination meeting to discuss easements. Individual lot easements do not appear to be adequate. There is no easement access to Lots 9, 10, and 12. U.S. West will require a 20' x 20' pocket easement to accommodate a facilities cabinet which will serve the area. 3. Gary Huett of Public Service Company offered the following comments: a. The final plat must dedicate utility easements on both sides of Timberline Road such that from rear edges of sidewalks to rear easement lines = 15 feet. b. The final plat must also dedicate utility easements internal to the project such that from rear edges of sidewalks/curbs adjoining or adjacent to parking areas to rear easement lines = 15 feet. C. The maximum slope in any utility easement = 4:1. d. No trees may be planted within 4' of any gas line. 281 North College Avenue - P.O. Box 580 - Fort Collins, CO 80522-0580 - (970) 221-6750 FAX (970) 221-6378 - TDD (970) 224-6002 e. The existing 8" HP gas line and existing overhead power line occupy easements that predate the Timberline Road right-of-way. Costs of relocation/adjustment of these lines as a result of conflicts with this project will be chargeable to the developer. Natural gas service to this project will not be provided from the 8" HP gas line. There is an existing lower pressure gas line in timberline Road, but it will have to be replaced with a larger line in order to supply this project. 4. The Zoning Department offered the following comments: a. Show building envelopes dimensions and distances to the (at least) the two closest lot lines. b. The Context Diagram plan will not be recorded with the PUD documents. C. It is being suggested that the building envelopes be large enough to allow adjustments to building placements. Please contact Gary Lopez, at 221-6760, if you have questions about these comments. 5. Doug Martine of the Light & Power Department stated that tree locations (along Timberline Road) need to be flexible to provide a minimum of 40' horizontal clearance to streetlight locations. 6. The Traffic. Operations Department offered the following comments: a. An analysis is needed at the Prospect/Riverside, Prospect/Summit View, and Timberline/Drake street intersections. b. At this time [of submittal] the Traffic Impact Analysis is not acceptable and is being sent back. Because of this, the development request must be continued to the March 24th (at the earliest) Planning and Zoning Board public hearing. Copies of a revised Traffic Impact Analysis (dated January 15, 1997) were delivered to the Current Planning Department on January 17th. C. A discussion on the required access permit must be held between the developer and the City. Please contact Eric Bracke, at 221-6062, if you have questions about these comments. 7. Kathleen Reavis, the City's Transportation Planner, stated that sidewalks and pedestrian crossings should be added at entrances/exits of parking garages for the overall good of the internal pedestrian circulation system and access to trails. A marked -up copy of the Site Plan is enclosed with the letter to Cityscape. Please return this plan with your revisions. 8. Laurie D'Audney, the City's Water Conservation Specialist, stated that landscape area breakdowns as required by the Water Conservation Standards must be included on the final Landscape Plan. 9. A copy of the comments received from the Stormwater Utility is attached to this letter. 10. A copy of the comments received from Kerrie Ashbeck of the Engineering Department is attached to this letter. 11. Randy Balok of the Park Planning Department stated that the connections to the trail system, as shown, are very good. 12. Clark Mapes of the Advance Planning Department offered the following comments: a. This project would appear to meet/exceed the intent of the design standards. b. There are fundamental questions about the appropriate intensity for this floodplain location with significant public interface and investment. 13. The Natural Resources Department offered the following comments: a. Natural Resources will be anxious to stay in close contact with the developer on the grading plans for the pond slopes. They want to discuss installing riparian vegetation here. The "undisturbed areas" are of concern, since they do not represent the natural landscape. These are going to be patches of weedy growth unless treated with weed management and reclamation techniques. Perhaps the "U" areas should be given "R" designation. b. There is question whether the project , as proposed, meets the intent of several All Development Criteria of the LDGS, particularly Criteria A-2.3 and A-2.13. In particular, the project seems too intense for the site and the design is not sensitive to the surrounding environmental context of the Poudre River floodplain. C. Natural Resources would generally like to see the ponds and their shorelines treated more naturalistically, with native vegetation transition areas between the developed portions of the site and the ponds. The habitat character of the ponds and their shorelines should be enhanced considerably. They generally look for a 100' transition area between developed portions of the site and natural area portions. The "fisherman's wharf' design approach is inconsistent with the type of character called for in the above -cite criteria. d. You will need to contact the U.S. Army Corps. Of Engineers to assure that any filling of the existing pond surface area is allowable. e. The trash enclosures should be designed to also accommodate collection for recyclables. Please contact Rob Wilkinson, at 221-6600, if you have questions about these comments. 14. The Auto -Related and Roadside Commercial and Business Service Uses Point Charts appear to be in good order, with the possible exception of this development being part of a planned center. The test is being "contiguous to and functionally, part of an office or industrial park. 15. General Note 12 on the Site Plan refers to the allowable uses as defined on the Business Service Uses Point Chart. If there could be industrial, convenience retail uses then we should probably review those respective points charts now. 16. The Planning Objectives state that residential uses may be included in this development. If so, then the Residential Uses Density Chart should be reviewed at this time. 17. The Special Height Review Variance plan is still being reviewed against the applicable criteria. This completes the staff comments at this time. Additional comments will be forthcoming as they are received from City departments and outside reviewing agencies. Please be aware of the following dates and deadlines (next page) to assure your ability to stay on schedule for the February 24, 1997 Planning and Zoning Board hearing: Plan revisions are due no later than the end of the working day, February 5, 1997*. Please contact me for the number of folded revisions required for each document. NO REVISIONS WILL BE REVIEWED AFTER THE ABOVE DEADLINE. IF REVISIONS ARE NOT RECEIVED BY THIS DATE, THE ITEM WILL EITHER GO TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD WITH A STAFF RECOMMENDATION BASED ON THE ORIGINALLY SUBMITTED DOCUMENTS OR THE APPLICANT WILL HAVE THE OPTION TO CONTINUE THE ITEM TO THE NEXT MONTHS BOARD AGENDA. PMT's (photo reduction of Site Plan, Landscape Plan, and Building Elevations to 8.5" x 11 "), rendering (one each colored full-size Site Plan and/or Landscape Plan and Building Elevations), and 8 folded copies of the final full-size Site Plan, Landscape Plan, and Building Elevations revisions ( for the Planning and Zoning Board members packets) are due on February 18, 1997. Please contact me at 221-6750 if you have questions or concerns regarding these comments or if you would like to schedule a meeting to discuss the comments. Sincerely, Steve Olt Project Planner cc: Kerrie Ashbeck Eric Bracke Stormwater Utility Natural Resources TST, Inc Site Plan/Utility Plans • Did not receive sheets 3 and 5 of 5 of the site plan set so some comments may not apply • It would be helpful to see a context diagram for this area to show Prospect Road, the Poudre River, the extension of Hoffman Mill Road to show the area served by that roadway • In some areas, the proposed parking lot layout and angled parking causes vehicles to loop around and go out of their way to make a right hand or left hand turn to go north/south out of the site. For example, area around Lots 1-3, 11,12, and 13. • Question the note regarding phasing on the site plan - as with any preliminary, finals come in as "phases" or filings so what is this note saying ? • There may be repays/reimbursements due to the City for the Timberline Road project at the time of final development (including r.o.w. acquisition that would normally be r.o.w. dedicated by the developer at the time of platting and development.) Additional r.o.w. and/or improvements to Timberline Road may be necessary due to this development and will be dedicated/designed/completed at the developer's expense. Typically, traffic study updates are done as the development builds out to identify improvements needed as the property develops. Depending on the functional classification of Hoffman Mill Road, the developer may or may not be eligible for street oversizing reimbursement. 7 MAY 85 --- - - CACHE LA POUDRE INDUSTRIAL PARK - FINAL PLAT 19-85A Oi�l?MENTS �-n�-�-�--- µ'/,me �..s-�-�� 74 -74) .77
