Foothills Parkway, Suite 5W Fort Collins, Colorado 80525 Dear Jim: Staff has reviewed the application for preliminary approval of the Belaire PUD Tract A - Villages at Harmony West and offers the following comments: 1. Mountain Bell suggests dedicating rear lot utility easements. The developer should contact Robert Snow at 224-7473 about a Land Development Agreement for telephone service. 2. PSCO will require that a ten foot wide utility easement be dedicated on both sides of all streets adjacent to the property line for utility use. Only one gas service will be provided to each building excluding carriage house. If gas is desired at the carriages houses, the developer must fuel line to the 1 service location designated on the six or eight plex, etc. Fifteen foot easements will be required along Harmony Road. The site plan should indicate all existing utility and proposed easements. 3. Will the drainage improvements shown on the Villages at Harmony West PUD still be the same - particularly off -site channel? Please clarify. 4. There will be certain off -site street improvements required for this development. They will need to meet current standards. Harmony Road may need to be redesigned to meet current City standards. 5. Numerous buildings do not meet fire access requirements. All exterior walls must be within 150 feet of an access point for fire apparatus or the buildings must be sprinkled. Note number 6 in terms of sprinkling of garagE!s is not acceptable. The circular drives are too narrow for fire accE!ss so note number 5 is also not acceptable. Some relocation of fire hydrants is recommended. 6. The subdivision will need to be replatted. tr r wr.r-'wv,. x . .. .'�d4, P � i - 1 •- a c .+. .i. �. v.-�..,y .v_ xt 11 i".k.. ��m"w a5 q� Mr. Jim Gefroh From: Joe Frank December 21, 1984 Page Two 7.

Security lighting of parking areas and buildings should be indicated on the site plan. 13. The circular drives which access the collector streets (Seneca Street and Regency Drive) are not acceptable and should be removed.

The applicant needs to work with the staff to develop a solution to the local street curb cuts. 14.

If so, how will public street improvements be phased? 16. Energy conservation measures being planned for the site should be indicated on the site plan. 17.

Building elevations should be submitted at this time. 19. Exact height of all proposed buildings should be indicated on the site plan rather than forty feet. 20.
