Date: W. Dean Smith, CHECK HERE IF YOU IFSH TO RECEIVE COPIES OF REVISIONS -Plat _ Site _ Dlage Report _ Ola >l Utility — Reline Utility _ Lads* General Manager City of Fort Collins If warrants are met with the prevailing posted speed, then this turn lane should be implemented. This recommendation is also stated on page 4 of the site access study. accommodate an 8' bike lane once the ultimate street section is constructed as well as an 8' bike lane on the west side, again once the ultimate street section is constructed. This ultimate street section is not required until such time as the properties to the west of CR 13 redevelop. c. It appears that the previous comments have been addressed. The pedestrian/bicycle trail connections along County Road 13 look good The small scale plan makes it difficult to review the internal pedestrian .system. - Items noted - no comment required. d. The combined Site & Landscape Plan ai such small scale is very difficult to read and review. - This item was discussed with Steve Olt and Current Planning is not going to require the plans be redraw at a different scale. e. Red lined Site and Landscape Plan - Several items were circled on the Site and Landscape Plan reviewed by Mark Jackson, dated 07/00. but there was no indication if revisions were required. 4. Technical Services Department (Mapping & Drafting) a. This subdivision plat must show the Recording information for Hearthfire Way and Hearthfire Drive. - The dedication of Hearthfire Way and Hearthfire Drive has not yet been recorded. The dedication is currently scheduled to go before the Council on 'Tuesday, October 17"'. Once the dedications are approved, they will be recorded with the County Clerk and the requested information can be added to the plat. b. The Recording information for the portion of Hearthfire Drive to be dedicated by separate document must be shown on the subdivision plat. - See above response (4.a). C. All nrylar originals (subdivision plat, Site Plan, Landscape Plan. Utility plans, e(c) must he able to be reproducible (text lines, line weight, etc.). - Item noted and once the City approves all plans, original mylars will be submitted. d. The plat boundary closes and the legal description matches the plat. - Items noted - no comment required. 5. Engineering Department a. The applicant has not yet provided the necessary off -site easements and street right-of-way documentation. This includes right -of -wary for County Road 13 and on easement from Water Supply & Storage. The documentation mast be submitted and reviewed by City staff before this request can go to public !rearing. - On September 21" and September 25th, Janelle Kechter of March & Liley submitted unsigned copies of both the required ROW dedication and easement forms to both Sherri Wamhoff and Rusty McDaniel of Larimer County for review (two copies are enclosed). Once staff and the County approve these dedication and easement forms, the Developer will sign them and have them recorded with the County Clerk. Two (2) additional drainage easements are also required from Water Supply and Storage. Their attorney has included both of the easements in one agreement and has drafted copy of an "Agreement to Allow Discharge of Drainage Water into the Water Supply and Storage Company's Reservoir" and three (3) copies are included in this resubmittal for staff review and approval. The Developer's attorney is currently reviewing this document and we would request that staff do the same. Once all parties agree upon the final language on the Agreement, the Developer and Water Supply will formalize and sign the easement documents and return to the City for recording. b. The plans for Douglas Road improvements need io be approved before the Citv can sign off on the Hearthfire, PUD, Second Filing plans. - The developer has been working with Cam McNair to try to resolve the easement issues with the Douglas Road improvements and there is currently a restriction in the development agreement for the I" Fling related to the required improvements. We do not understand why the 2nd filing plans cannot be signed off until the Douglas Road plans are approved because there are already restrictions in place to prohibit more than 90 permits being issued for the development until the Douglas Road improvements are completed. c. There is a concern about Town Center Way. This area is not very developable because there probably are wetlands here. It could/should be more of a "d'rivewav" than a street. The Water Supply & Storage Ditch Company must be involved in this. As stated above, after meeting with members of the City staff on site on May, 19"'. it was determined that Town Center Way may or may not be extended too much further south of the Hearthfire property boundaries in the future. If and when the property to the south develops, the current owners, The Water Supply and Storage Company, will need to prepare development and utility plans to show how this area could be developed. Therefore, as discussed in the meeting and agreed to by staff and Water Supply, that the developer would like to dedicate the required ROW to the City for Town Center Way at this time and install and stub out any required utilities to the south property line as development of this 2"d filing occurs. When the development agreement is prepared by the City, we would request the actual construction of the walks, curb, gutter and paving not be required at this time, but that a escrow be established for future construction of the road if development occurs in the future. Also, Water Supply has requested that a note be placed on the Final Plat for lots 25 and 26 that states "Town Center Way is a dedicated public street right-of-way and construction of this street may occur at any time in the future." This note has been added to both the Final Site & Landscape Plan as well as the Final Plat. Also, Water Supply has requested that a fence be install along the right-of-way adjacent to lots 25 and 26. A note has been added to the Final Site and Landscape Plan that states: "A two -rail, white vinyl fence shall be installed along the property lines of Lots 25 and 26 adjacent to Town Center Way at the time these lots are developed." d. Red lined Site and Landscape Plan - The curb cut was eliminated where the Emergency Access Easement meets CR 13. - Bollards have been added to the Final Utility Plans at the pedestrian trail at CR 13 and Inverness Drive. e. The new note as indicated in the engineering response letter has been added to the Final Site and Landscape Plan. Note: See additional attached comments from Shear Engineering Corp. 6. Stormwater Utility a. The overflow from the ponds in the Hearthfire PUD, First Filing could affect the Flearlhfire PUD, Second Filing. Until this issue is resolved, staff will not schedule this item for public hearing. 4 The overflow inlet has been discussed with Glen Schluetter and Jay Barber in the Stormwater Utility Department. An escrow has been setup with the City for the reconstruction of the inlet. The developer is currently working with the contractor and Whiting Petroleum to have this inlet reconstructed and hopefully this work will be completed in the next 30-60 days. b. The necessary off -site easements still have not been submitted The documentation must be submitted and reviewed by City staff before this request can go to public hearing. - Two (2) drainage easements are required from Water Supply and Storage. Their attorney has included both of the easements in one agreement and has drafted copy of an "Agreement to Allow Discharge of Drainage Water into the Water Supply and Storage Company's Reservoir and three (3) copies are included in this resubmittal for staff review and approval. The Developers attorney is currently reviewing this document and we would request that staff do the same. Once all parties agree upon the final language on the Agreement, the Developer and Water Supply will formalize and sign the easement documents and return to the City for recording. c. The Carpaci(v of the storm water swale along the west side of'the property, along County Road 13. needs to be checked. The plans show that the roadside swale is to be filled. - See comments from Shear Engineering. d. There are still some off -site easements/agreements from Water Supply & Storage Company that must be submitted to the City. - Is this a repeat of comment 6.b? Please see response above. Note: See additional attached comments from Shear Engineering Corp. 7. Planning a. Red -Lied Site and Landscape Plan - The "G" has been changed to a "C" under Landscape Assurances - Note # 1. - The offsite information for the extension (wetlands and topo) has been shown on Sheet 2 of 2 of the Final Site and Landscape Plan. - A sight distance triangle has been added to the Site and Landscape Plan at Bateleur Lane and CR 13. - The existing wetlands do encroach into Lots 27 - 32. As discussed in the previous submittal of June 19, 2000, Sheet 2 of 2 of the Final Site and Landscape Plan shows a total of .15 acres of wetland area is within these lots. As part of the wetland mitigation plan for the entire project, both Filings I & 2, new wetlands were created within the first filing to compensate for the wetlands within these lots. I believe this addresses all of the comments since the last submittal. Please review the enclosed information and should you have any questions, feel free to give me a call.

Collins, Colorado 80524 Re: IIearthfire P.U.D., Second Filing; Ft. Collins, Colorado Dear Sheri, This is a response to your most recent review comments concerning the Final Utility Plans and Final Plat for Hearthfire P.U.D., Second Filing_ This response will address several utility plan and final plat review comments, as well as written comments noted on your Project Comment Sheet signed and dated July 21, 2000. Written Comments Offsite easement acquisition is currently being pursued. Easement acquisition should be finalized in the near future. We are currently negotiating Water Supply and Storage agreement conditions. We are attaching a copy of the agreement here so you can sec that this issue is in the works. The easement acquisitions should be the last remaining project related item which needs to be resolved prior to approval of Hearthfire P.U.D., Second Filing. We question why Douglas Road Plans need to be approved before the Hearthfire P.U.D., Second Filing can be approved. The development agreements control building permits, as (foes the engineering department. We would like to receive approvals as soon as possible for Ilearthfirc P.U.D., Second Filing in order to maintain our P.U.D. status and to stop the endless "do -loop" of submit and review, submit and review, submit and review. We have addressed every comment, even those comments that show up as new comments after several submittals. The easement acquisitions should be the last remaining project related item whidn needs to be resolved prior to approval of ilearthfire P.U.D., Second Filing. The Douglas Road Plans were re -submitted again for review on September 12, 2000. • Plat comments have been accommodated with this re -submittal. Written comments which were duplicated on the redlines, are responded to in the following sections. -iH36 S. College, St itc 12 Pt.

Collins, Colorado Plan Redlines Cover sheet • With all due respect, the engineer liability general note has not been updated according to the wording which you have requested. The existing note (which follows) which is documented as part of the City's General Notes is provided. If there are updates to the General Notes, and we are provided documentation that this note is being provided by all engineers on all plans, we will reconsider. But only after intensive review of the wording by our liability insurance company. 6. The engineer who has prepared these plans, by execution and / or seal hereof, does hereby affirm responsibility to the City, as a beneficiary of said engineer's work, for any errors and omissions contained in these plans, and approval of these plans by the City Engineer shall not relieve the engineer who has prepared these plans of all such responsibility. Plat • A majority of the reception numbers for offsite easements dedicated by separate document have been added to the plat. Others which may not have been added to the plat at this time, will be added to the plat as soon as we have obtained the appropriate data. Please understand that some of the offsite rights -of -way and easements noted, may not have yet been dedicated. Master Utility Plan • The widths of the sidewalk ramps on Buntwing Lane have been reduced to 4.5 feet on all appropriate sheets. • The widths of the sidewalk ramps on North County Road 13 have been reduced to five feet (5.0') on all appropriate sheets. • The driveway cut at the intersection of North County Road 13 and the emergency access has been removed on all appropriate sheets. • The driveway cut at the end of Hearthfire Drive has been shown to be concrete to the property line on all appropriate sheets. Intersection Details • The details have been revised per your redlines. Curb return profiles have also been updated to match the revisions to the intersection details as needed. • The intersection detail for Town Center Way and Buravving Lane/ Town Center Drive has been added to the plan set. This includes what will be built now and what may be built in the future if Town Center Way is built as a local street. Page 3 October 16, 2000 Project No: 1552-02-97 Re: Hearthfire P.U.D., Second Filing; Ft. Collins, Colorado Street Plan and Profiles • The existing slope of the flowline is now called out on sheet 16; Town Center Drive and Buteos Court. • All K values at vertical curves were checked and adjusted as appropriate. The flowline profile on Buteos has not been changed since a design speed of 30 mph is really not applicable for a cul-de-sac as short as this. The K values on Buntwing Lane (sheet 17) are correct and have riot been changed. • The note you requested for the Town Center Way plan and profile has been added to the plan view. • We have received the survey for the limits along North County Road 13 for 500 feet beyond the end of the limits of construction. The survey and the extended design will be provided in the near future. • All appropriate offsite easements have been provided or are currently being obtained. • We have provided a variance request letter for the street slopes at the intersection of Bateleur Court and North County Road 13. , o*Ve6_',„�xee , We trust that this response has addressed all of your specific comments and concerns.

EASEMENTS and ROW needed - 1) row for CR13 - to be dedicated to the county 2) Utility easement adjacent to CR13 - to be dedicated to the county. 3) grading easement east of tract E and north of Hearthfire Drive. 4) grading easement as well as drainage easement on the Water Supply and Storage Property south of the southwest corner of the site. Easements being dedicated to the county need to be submitted to the county for acceptance will need indication from the county that they have been received prior to scheduling a hearing. I have some concerns with the draft agreement with the Water Supply and Storage Company that was submitted. I understand this is similar to the agreement that was made for Richards Lake. I forwarded a copy onto stormwater and have asked for their input. • This project will also not be taken to hearing until the plans for Douglas Road are completed and approved. You asked why this could not be taken to hearing as you are working on a solution to the off -site improvements. I am not willing to go in front of Planning and Zoning Board and the neighbors and discuss how and when this project is going to have the off -site improvements satisfied until I know that this will occur and how it is to occur.

Site Plan • Note on the site plan indicates that the bollards at the Hearthfire Drive emergency access are to be driveover. The detail provided on the utility plans is not for the driveover kind. • Need to show the retaining wall(s) between lots 32 and 48 that are proposed and the ones between lots 33 and 47 that were a part of the 1" filing plans. May need to do a minor amendment to the 1 s` filing plans as the wall(s) are technically on the 15` filing. Plat ➢ Provide the last paragraph of the repair guarantee that is missing. ➢ Provide reception #'s for existing/off site easements that do not have them listed yet when these are obtained. ➢ Need to provide documentation of the vacation of the row for CR13 on this property south of where CR13 ties into Inverness. Per county records CR13 was dedicated by the Road Viewers Report (Book #R page 188:1 and there is no evidence of a vacation that we have found. If this row has not been vacated then we will need to discuss this. Utility Plans 1. Indicate that the emergency access drive is a driveway cut with concrete to the property line at the cul-de-sac bulb of Hearthfire Drive. 2. Need to show the bollards at the pedestrian path at CR13 and Buntwing Lane as shown on the site plan. 3. Show where the proposed retaining walls between lots 32 and 48 are on the utility plan. What are the limits of these? Showing the path going across the outfall - I doubt it does this and is not shown that way on the first filing. Show the retaining walls that were approved with the 1 sr filing between lots 33 and 47. Showing the outfall pipes cutting across the corner of lot 47 and not extending under the path. Need to show this, as it was approved and not impacting lot 47. 4. Now that you have indicated what the existing grade of Town Center Drive is where the new construction ties in; it does not meet grade break requirements. You need to provide a vertical curve at this location. 5. Need to increase the text size on some of your notes. 6. Not meeting the min 2% grade requirement at the intersection of CR13 and Bateleur Lane on the south side. What is the centerline slope? Does this meet the requirement? Please provide in letter/ response or on the plans if you like. Based on the grades on each side I would imagine that the centerline grade meets the 2%. Response letter said that a variance was submitted, but I have not received it. 7. Appear to be meeting min vertical curve requirements although I disagree with your values. Need to use the grades that are being tied into. Can't have a point grade break at the start or end or a vertical curve. 8.

Doug Moore of the City's Natural Resources Department offered the following comment: A private citizen brought to the attention of the Natural Resources Department that a rare Colorado plant species, Showy Prairie Gentian — Eustoma grandiflorum, was growing around Richards Lake in the area of this project. On October 22, 2000 this was confirmed during a site visit. Present at this visit were Kim Kreimeyer, Doug Moore, and Karen Manci of the City's Natural Resources Department. Please note: Showy Prairie Gentian locations should be delineated and mapped on the Site, Landscape, and Grading Plans. Depending on the delineation, trails may need to be relocated. Interpretative signs should be added to the subdivision's trail system in the general vicinity of the delineation. The signs need to explain that there is a rare Colorado plant species in the area and that trail users should remain on the trails and that pets should be kept on leashes. Please contact Kim, at 221-6641, or Doug, at 224-6143, for information related to the plant locations found during the site visit and for guidance related to the sign placement after delineation and mapping have been done.

Agreement to build curb, gutter, and detached sidewalk (5'-0" wide), and bicycle lane on their side of the road. Please contact Mark, at 416-2029, if you have questions about these comments. 4. The Technical Services Department (Mapping & Drafting) offered the following comments: a. Some text on the subdivision plat, Site plan, Landscape Plan, utility plans, etc.) is not reproducible (text sizes, line weight, etc.). It is too small and dense. b. The plat boundary closes and the legal description matches the plat. Please contact Technical Services, at 221-6588, if you have questions about these comments. 5. Webb Jones of the East Larimer County Water District stated that their comments are on red -lined utility plans that are being forwarded to the applicant. 6.

Mike Spurgin of the Post Office stated that they have no concerns or comments regarding this round of review for the development plan. 10. Ward Stanford of Traffic Operations offered the following comments: a. The Douglas Road/County Road 11 improvements issue needs to be resolved prior to this project going to the Planning and Zoning Board for a decision. b. The County Road 13 improvements should terminate a safe distance either before or after the curve. Improvements should not terminate in the middle of the curve. Please contact Ward, at 221-6820, if you have questions about these comments. The following comments and concerns were expressed at the weekly staff review meeting of November 8, 2000: Engineering (Sheri Wamho 11. The applicant and developer must resolve the necessary improvements to Douglas Road before this project goes to the Planning and Zoning Board for a decision. This has somewhat stalled and plans are still needed. 12. The applicant and developer must address the piece of "old" road right-of-way (ROW) going south from the road bend at Inverness Street and County Road 13. This ROW does affect the Hearthfire PUD, Second Filing property. Has the ROW been vacated? Stormwater (Basil Hamdan 13. There are concerns about a necessary off -site drainage easement/agreement with the Water Supply & Storage Company (WS&S). This easement must be signed by WS&S and reviewed by City staff prior to this item going to the Planning and Zoning Board for a decision. Natural Resources (Kim Kreimeyer) 14_ There is a rare plant present on off -site property in the area of the southwest corner of this development. It is on the WS&S property. The plant is the Showy Prairie Gentain (purple in color). Because of the presence of this rare plant, signage must be provided to keep people off of the property. Please contact Kim, at 221-6641 to discuss the implications regarding this plant. 15. The off -site property at the southwest corner of this development (to be accessed by Town Center Way) would appear to be almost undevelopable under the City's Land Use Code (LUC). Transoortation Planning (Kathleen Reavis/Mark Jackson 16. Should the pedestrian street crossings be painted or enhanced? 17. Will Town Center Way work for bicycle and pedestrian access to the south? This completes the review comments at this time. Additional comments will be forthcoming as the various departments and reviewing agencies finish their review. Staff has determined that the project is not yet ready to go to the Planning and Zoning Board for a decision due to outstanding issues and/or off -site easements. Another full round of review may not be necessary; however, the stated issues must be resolved before the item can be placed on a Planning and Zoning Board public hearing agenda. Please work directly with the appropriate departments to resolve the issues. You may contact me at 221-6341 if you have questions about these comments or would like to schedule a meeting to discuss them.

The Police Department stated that Ingle Court needs to be renamed as sound -a -likes already exist and one of the Buntwing Courts must be renamed. Please see the attached letter from the Larimer County Engineering Department. 10. The Light and Power Utility offered the following comments: a) The "paired" water service locations need to be coordinated with Light and Power plans prior to construction of the water system. Some water service locations may need to be relocated if they conflict with electric facilities (vaults or streetlights). b) Street trees will need to maintain minimum clearances to streetlights (if any). The clearances are 40' to shade trees and 20' to ornamentals. 11. Traffic Operations offered the following comments: a) An updated traffic study must be submitted that addresses the issues associated with the additional access points, including the number of daily trips on Buntwing Court and the increase volumes of County Road 13 that may be attributed to this access. b) Please provide a schedule for the phasing of roadway improvements. c) Has the issue of site distance been addressed at the corner of Abbottford and Gregory? d) It will be necessary to track the number of dwelling units prior to the collector to County Road 11. 12. The Mapping Department offered the following comments: a) Right-of-way cannot be dedicated by annexation. b) Please show the arc distance included in the curve table. 13. The Current Planning Department offered the following comments: a) Three conditions were placed on the Preliminary PUD approved for Hearthfire, and these need to be met, including the following. These criteria must be met for the final to be in substantial compliance with the approved preliminary plan. ► The developer shall submit plans for all off -site improvements and the improvements required to County Road 13 with the final PUD utility plans. AO P1N£CR£ST February 1, 2001 Ms. Sherry Wamhoff City of Fort Collins Engineering Department P.O. Box 580 Fort Collins, Colorado 80522-0580 RE: Hearthfire PUD, 2"d Filing Comments of November 15, 2000 Dear Ward: In response to your letter and red -lined comments of November 151h related to the Hearthfire PUD, 2"d Filing, Final Site and Landscape Plan, please note the following: a. The applicant and developer must resolve the necessary improvements to Douglas Road before this project goes to the Planning and Zoning Board for a decision. This has somewhat stalled and plans are still needed. - As discussed in my previous letter to Steve Olt of October 16, 2000, the developer has been working with Cam McNair and yourself to try to resolve the issues and concerns with the Douglas Road improvements. He has met with you again as early as two weeks ago to discuss the design for the Douglas Road improvements to the east of Hearthfire Way. Because there is currently a restriction in the development agreement for the I" filing related to the required improvements, we do not understand why the 2id filing plans cannot be signed off until the Douglas Road plans are approved because there are already restrictions in place to prohibit more than 90 permits being issued for the development until the Douglas Road improvements are completed. In. The applicant and developer must address the piece of "old" road right-of-way (ROW) going south from the road bend at Inverness Street and County Road 13. This ROW does affect the Hearthfire PUD, Second Filing property. Has the ROW been vacated? This issued was discussed with the City Attorney and the developer's attorney. It was determined that the ROW was never legally granted and/or recorded in this area and therefore no vacation is needed. 1 believe you have received the correspondence from both attorneys as to that fact. c. There are also several comments on your red -lined Final Site and Landscape Plan. The first is "Need to show retaining wall (s). Were not shown on the 1" filing. May need) to do a minor amend. to 1" filing plan." Planning S Design LLC 4225 Westshore Way Port Collins, CO 80525 (970) 226-1655 • (970) 226-1635lax The walls have been shown on the revised Final Site and Landscape Plan and as we discussed, I will contact Steve Olt and ask him to determine if a Minor Amendment is required for the I" Filing. The other comment on the redlined plan is "Bollard detail provided is not the drive over type." Shear Engineering has received the details of the drive over bollard from the manufacturer of the bollard and should be including them on their revised Final Utility Plans. These plans will be resubmitted to you within the next week. Note that I will return your red -lined plan to Steve Olt with our resubmittal next week. Sherri, as requested in your Project Comment Sheet, 1 have enclosed a copy of the latest, revised Site and Landscape Plan for your review. Hopefully this addresses all of your comments and concerns and we would request that you send a letter to Mr. Steve Olt in the City's Current Planning Department stating the same.

Box 580 Ft. Collins, Colorado 80524 Re: Hearthfire P.U.D., Second Filing; Ft. Collins, Colorado Dear Sheri, This is a response to your most recent review comments concerning the Final Utility Plans and Final Plat for Hearthfire P.U.D., Second Filing. This response will address several utility plan and final plat review comments, as well as written comments noted on your Project Comment Sheet signed and dated December 5, 2000. Written Comments ❑ We understand that all easements and ROW are needed prior to final scheduling. ❑ We understand that the Douglas Road plans need to be approved before this plan set can go to the board for final approval. Plat ❑ The comments on the plat have been addressed by Frederick Land Surveying. ❑ The CR 13 vacation is a non -issue per Lucia Liley's letter to you and Paul Eckman. A copy of this letter is attached for your convenience. ❑ Reception numbers for all new offsite easements will be provided as soon as they are available. Utility Plans ❑ The emergency access drive at the end of Hearthfire Drive has been labeled as a driveway cut and shown with concrete to the property line. ❑ Bollards have been added at the pedestrian path at CR 13 and Buntwing Lane. ❑ Retaining walls are now shown on the utility plan between Lots 32 and 48. These limits are defined on the grading plan as well. The walkway has been moved east of the outfall pipe on the south side of Town Center Drive- The pipes shown cutting across Lot 47 exist and will not be moved. 'The developer is planning to extend these pipe to the north east in order to locate the outlet box on the north side of the walk as shown on the approved Hearthfire P.U.D., First Filing plans. i836 S.

Collins, Colorado ❑ With all due respect, a vertical curve has not been added to the flowline profiles at the beginning of Town Center Drive where it matches into the existing Town Center Drive. The slopes coming out of the low point, where the existing inlets are located, are very flat and we do not think a vertical curve is justified since, in essence we are going from the inlet where we are at a 0% slope to a 0.53% slope. The City's position in the past has always been to have a slope going into an inlet for drainage reasons. If you insist that we request a variance from the requirement that vertical curves are required for grade breaks in excess of 0.4%, we will do that. We would be happy to sit down and explain our position. At a minimum, it may be justifiable to present a centerline vertical curve where the grade breaks are located. However, Town Center Drive does exist at, and just past the inlets. ❑ Text size has been adjusted per your redlines. ❑ A final copy of that letter requesting a variance from the 2% slope requirement for the western end of Bateleur Court is attached for your review and approval. ❑ We would like to sit down with you concerning your request that we revise the vertical curves where you feel the minimum K value is not met. We have reviewed the City criteria and do not find anywhere that having a grade break at the PVC and/or PVT is not allowed. We have also reviewed the design criteria from CDOT Roadway Design Manual (1990) and the new Latimer County street standards and not found any criteria stipulating this. Please note that when towline profiles are presented, these profiles are iterated from an initial centerline design profile in order to achieve a "pure" typical section. Adjusting grade breaks and vertical curves on each side of a roadway that exhibit horizontal curves (PTs, PCs, etc.) will result in a non -typical street section. A vertical road design for CR 13 500 feet west of Hearthfire P.U.D., Second Filing is provided as a separate sheet for your convenience. This sheet is not included in the plan set as it's purpose is to show how the road can be constructed in the future when the City or another developer is required to do these improvements. We apologize for not providing this to you previously since we had performed this task quite some time ago. ❑ Retaining walls are now shown on the utility plan between Lots 32 and 48. These limits are defined on the ,grading plan as well. The walkway has been moved east of the outfall pipe. The pipes shown cutting across Lot 47 exist and will not be moved. The developer is planning to extend these pipes to the north east in order to locate the outlet box on the north side of the walk as shown on the approved Hearthfire P I I D_, First Filing plans_ ❑ We have added a new bollard detail on the sheets 21 and 32. Copies of the product information are also attached for your convenience. The bollard detail on the detail sheet has been crossed out. The colored square has been added to the handicap ramp detail. A retaining wall detail has been added to the detail sheet. PAGE February 7, 2001 Project No: 1552-02-97 Re: Hearthfire P.U.D., Second Filing; Ft. Collins, Colorado We trust that this response has addressed all of your specific comments and concerns. We feel that all the technical issues have been addressed and we should be able to submit mylars with our next submittal. If you have any further questions, please call at (970) 226-5334. Sheri, We have obviously been struggling with your position concerning vertical design requirements, specifically as thev relate to vertical curve design criteria. We would respectfully request a formal session with you to discuss our design methodology and position regarding the vertical design presented with Hearthfire P.U.D., Second Filing. We are painfully aware of the street design standards and have not recognized any location where we are deviating from the design intent of each vertical curve presented with Hearthfire P.U.D., Second Filing.

Wetlands to be disturbed will be replaced at a rate of 1.5 to 1. The ultimate disposition of the wetland pond area will need to be resolved with the final PUD through submittal of a detailed plan for the area. Preliminary PUD approval does not imply that modification of the wetland area is acceptable to City staff. (This condition might have been satisfied with the 1st filing. Please contact the City's Stormwater Utility and Natural Resources Department do verify whether additional work is required for the 2nd filing.) o Concurrently with submission of final PUD documents, the developer shall submit a detailed study based on the final plan and engineering, analyzing the effects of urban runoff into the wetlands and ultimately into Richard's Lake, along with an adequate mitigation plan to deal with negative impacts if needed.

Doug Moore of the City's Natural Resources Department offered the following comment: • A private citizen brought to the attention of the Natural Resources Department that a rare Colorado plant species, Showy Prairie Gentian — Eustoma grandiflorum, was growing around Richards Lake in the area of this project. On October 22, 2000 this was confirmed during a site visit. Present at this visit were Kim Kreimeyer, Doug Moore, and Karen Manci of the City's Natural Resources Department. Please note: Showy Prairie Gentian locations should be delineated and mapped on the Site, Landscape, and Grading Plans. Depending on the delineation, trails may need to be relocated. This is a repeat comment and is significant enough to prevent the item from being scheduled for a Planning and Zoning Board public hearing and decision.

Mike Spurgin of the Post Office stated that they have no concerns or comments regarding this development proposal. 8. Ward Stanford of Traffic Operations offered the following comments: a. With the new possibility that the Douglas Road improvements will be east of the site vs. west, the utility plans indicate County Road 13 improvements terminating at the Douglas Road improvements. If the eastern improvements are accepted, County Road 13 will need to be paved to existing Douglas Road, with any necessary improvements to Douglas Road to facilitate a proper paved connection. b. The utility plans do not reflect paving corrections on County Road 13, as discussed with the developer's engineer. Please contact Ward, at 221-6820, if you have questions about these comments. The following comments and concerns were expressed at the weekly staff review meeting of February 28, 2001: Engineering (Sheri Wamho 9. The applicant and developer must resolve the necessary off -site improvements to Douglas Road before this project goes to the Planning and Zoning Board for a decision. Based on the information still needed and the work to be done, it could be 1 to 2 months before the item can be scheduled for a hearing. 10. A permanent storm drainage outfall system is needed for this development. Stormwater (Basil Hamdan 11. There are concerns about a necessary off -site drainage easement/agreement with the Water Supply & Storage Company (WS&S). This easement must be signed by VVS&S and reviewed by City staff prior to this item going to the Planning and Zoning Board for a decision. 12. No water quality ponds are being shown for the storm drainage outfall from this site. They are needed. 13. The outfall needs to be permanent, not temporary as currently proposed. Natural Resources (Doug Moore) 14. There are still Natural Resources issues with the rare plant species that is present on adjacent property in the area of the southwest corner of this development. 15. There is proposed grading and disturbance in the outfall areas on both Filings 1 & 2. This completes the review comments at this time. Additional comments could be forthcoming as the various departments and reviewing agencies finish their review. Staff has determined that the project is not yet ready to go to the Planning and Zoning Board for a decision due to outstanding natural resource, storm drainage, engineering issues, and/or off -site easements. Another full round of review may not be necessary; however, the stated issues must be resolved before the item can be placed on a Planning and Zoning Board public hearing agenda. Please work directly with the appropriate departments to resolve the issues. This development proposal is still subject to the City's 90 day turnaround period that begins on the date of the comment letter prepared by the project planner in the Current Planning Department (in this case, 3/07/01). The outstanding issues must be resolved so that the item can be scheduled for public hearing or revisions re- submitted with the 90 day period.

The responses relate to comment ll.a) and comment Il.c). Comment ll.a) refers to an additional access point to CR13 via an extension of Buntwing Court. It is my understanding that Buntwing Court is a cul-de-sac and there is no intention to connect it to CR13. A right-of-way is provided at the end of Buntwing Court to extend it if that were the desire of the City. If that connection occurred, it is estimated that 100-200 daily trips might utilize this connection to travel south on CR13 or use it as an alternative access to Douglas Road. However, it is not the developer's desire to make this connection. Comment ll.c) refers to the sight distance issue at the Gregory/Abbotsford intersection. The issue is in regard to sight lines to the west along Gregory Road for a vehicle that is stopped on Abbotsford. In previous discussions and memoranda, I pointed out that there was a sight line constraint due to foliage blocking the line of sight to the right (west). A site visit was made on May 21, 1999 to this intersection. The sight line constraint does not exist at the present time with a driver location 10 feet from Gregory Road. However, the further back from Gregory Road, the more the foliage begins to block the sight line. If the property owner allows this foliage to grow into the sight triangle, it is important that the governmental entity (Larimer County) take steps to ensure proper Sight lines. This situation should be carried out regardless of the Hearthfire development. Sight lines are adequate to the left (east) of the Gregory/Abbotsford intersection.

Dugan 4225 Westshore Way Fort Collins, CO. 80525 Dear Tom, Staff has completed a review of your revisions for the Hearthfre PUD, Second Filing; - Final that were submitted to the City on June 4, 2001. A copy of the STAFF PROJECT REVIEW comment letter is attached. The most significant outstanding issues are centered around the necessary off -site easements, the necessary Douglas Road improvements plans, and Water Supply &, Storage approval and signature blocks on the appropriate plans. Another full round of review may not be necessary; however, the stated issues must be resolved before the item can be placed on a Planning and Zoning Board public hearing agenda. Also, this development proposal is still subject to the City's 90-day turnaround period (as set forth in the Land Use Code)that begins on the date of the comment letter prepared by the project planner in the Current Planning Department. In this case the date is 7/03/01. The outstanding issues must be resolved so that the item can be scheduled for public hearing or revisions re -submitted with the 90 day period. You may contact me at 221-6341 if you have questions about these comments or would like to schedule a meeting to discuss them. Si 4lJu/ t7 SteveNIt Project Planner CAI Noah Avenue • I'( ).

Is this something that the developer wants? This is not a City requirement. If it is something that the developer really wants then how will the 2 lot owners be made aware of the requirement? They probably will want to put 6' high solid fences along those property lines. 17 Issue Contact: Steve Olt The street name Town Center Way is a conflict and needs to be changed. 18 Issue Contact Steve Olt What is the "North County Road 13 Annexation"? If referenced on the plans (as it is on the Site Plan), there needs to be a Recording or Reference # of some sort. The east 1/2 (only) of County Road 13 was annexed into the City with the Country Club North Second Annexation. The City does not have any record of the "North County Road 13 Annexation", by separate document or anything else. 19 Issue Contact: Steve Olt There is a portion of the landscaped berm in Tract E that extends into Lot 1. This should not really be. That lot owner will probably want to fence in the entire lot, which could be somewhat difficult and strange with the landscaped berm encroaching. 20 Issue Contact: Steve Olt Please see copies of the red -lined Site and Landscape Plans for additional Current Planning comments. 1 of 7 21 Issue Contact: Steve Olt The following comments were expressed at the Staff review meeting on Wednesday, June 27th: Engineering - 1 . The big thing is still the required easements. The City has not yet received the final, signed easements. 2. Work is still being done on the required Douglas Road plans. They are in the City for review and comments are due to the applicant on July 11, 2001. 3. The Water Supply & Storage note on the subdivision plat needs to be updated. 4. The signature block for Water Supply & Storage has been taken off the utility plans. This signature block needs to be put back on the plans. 5. The different street plans appear to be inconsistent with one another. Stormwater - The City still needs the final, signed easements that are required. 2. The affected ditch company's approval and signature block must be provided on the applicable plans. 3. The permanent easement(s) for the outfall swale(s) is needed. 4. What is the purpose of the 2-rail white vinyl fence along Town Center Way, adjacent to Lots 25 & 26? This could have some affect on the storm drainage in this area. f e AFi 22 Issue Contact: Steve Olt The Technical Services (Mapping) Department offered the following comments: a. The legal description and outside boundary do close. b. The street name "Town Center Way" is unacceptable. C. What is the "North County Road 13 Annexation"? d. Why does Lot 1 have building setbacks shown? e. On the Final Plat, please remove all of the Revision Notes. f. The Vested Rights Statement is not needed. Engineering 5 Issue Contact: Sheri Wamhoff ? All off site easements and/or row are needed prior to scheduling of this project for a final hearing. EASEMENTS and ROW needed - 1) row for CR13 - to be dedicated to the county 2) Utility easement adjacent to CR13 - to be dedicated to the county. 3) grading easement east of tract E and north of Hearthfire Drive. 4) grading easement as well as drainage easement on the Water Supply and Storage Property south of the southwest corner of the site. 5) construction easement for construction of the retaining wall on Iot.48. Easements being dedicated to the county need to be submitted to the county for acceptance. I will need indication from the county that they have been received prior to scheduling a hearing. - - - Response to this was "All easements except for the construction easement noted in item #5 above have been provided to date. For construction purposes of the retaining wall on lot 48, an easement has been added to the plans. The easement is now noted as "Temporary Retaining Wall Construction Easement"." - - - I have reviewed my file and I have not received any signed easements ready for processing. I have draft copies of the row and easement to be dedicated to the county (items #1 and #2 above), but have not gotten conformation from the county that they have been received and processed - nor have the reception numbers for these been added to the plat. I have no record of even seeing a draft of the grading easement needed north of Hearthfire Drive (item #3). 1 did receive a draft agreement from the Water Supply and Storage Company of which I have a copy of a letter that Paul Eckman wrote in response. I haven't received anything more regarding this issue and this was an agreement not the easement dedications that have been asked for (item #4). It should be noted that the latest submittal now shows additional grading on the Water Supply and Storage Property south of Tract C. An agreement can provide permission to enter the property and do grading, but we need easements dedicated to the City for the drainage flows that cross the property. I did receive a draft of the easement for construction of the retaining wall on lot 48. This is only a draft and not a signed final document. Within the responses to my comments it was indicated that the outfall pipes across lot 47 have "been addressed previously by separate document, and is identified on this plans set as drainage easement.". It is now being shown as a drainage easement, but has it been dedicated as a drainage easement? This has not been processed by Engineering, if it has been done who did it? All off site easements and /or row are needed signed and in the final format ready for filing are needed prior to scheduling this project for hearing. Please note the dedication document needs to include the grantees name and address. I have attached comments on the draft easement submitted for #5 as well as a copy of standard easement language and process. 4 of 7 7 10 11 Issue Contact: Sheri Wamhoff This project will also not be taken to hearing until the plans for Douglas Road are completed and approved. You asked why this could not be taken to hearing as you are working on a solution to the off -site improvements. I am not willing to go in front of Planning and Zoning Board and the neighbors and discuss how and when this project is going to have the off -site improvements satisfied until I know that this will occur and how it is to occur. Issue Contact: Sheri Wamhoff Plat - Update the water supply and storage approval note. I think the attorneys are still discussing this. I have written in what has been suggested by the City Attorney.

Per section 1.02.03.06.e need a vertical curve for both the flowline and the centerline if the grade change is greater than 1 %. It appears that is what is happening here, therefore a vertical curve is needed. Or need additional information on what the grades going into the inlets is that can show that it is within standards. 5of7 12 Issue Contact: Sheri Wamhoff Utility Plans Sheet 22 - shows CR13 tying into Douglas Road - an improved Douglas Road not existing Douglas Road. The plans that are currently in for review and approval for Douglas Road improvements do not include this intersection. Therefore need to show these improvements in this set if they are to be done OR show how CR 13 improvements tie into existing Douglas Rd. The two additional sheets that were included that show this intersection - if they are to be included in this set they need to be numbered as a part of this set. 13 Issue Contact: Sheri Wamhoff Utiltiy Plans Detail sheet - See comments on the mid -block ramp. Natural Resources 14 Issue Contact: Doug Moore Showy Prairie Gentian - The applicant will provided a letter to the Natural Resources Department explaining that the stormwater runoff leaving the proposed drainage easements into one of the areas were the plants have been seen growing will be no greater than the two year historic release rate, and than. no construction will occur in the area. I meet with the applicant, his Attorney and the City Attorney on June 26, 2001, where the applicant agree to provide this information within the next two weeks. 15 Issue Contact: Doug Moore Interpretive Signage- • The Natural Resource Department agrees with the applicant that because the circumstances of the location of the trail it would be inappropriate to place the interpretive sign previously requested, so the Natural Resource Department is no longer requesting the sign.

Collins, Colorado Dear Mr. Olt, This is a response to staffs most recent review comments concerning the Final Utility Plans and Final Plat for Hearthfire P.U.D., Second Filing, These responses will address utility plan and final plat review comments, as well as written "Staff Project Review" comments dated 06/29/01, General Discussion The final utility plans have been updated to remove the proposed sanitary sewer previously shown in North County Road 13 to the north. The North County Road 13 Sanitary Sewer Plan and Profile sheet was removed in its entirety. This was removed at the direction of the Boxelder Sanitation District after a fairly in-depth analysis of the general service area that was not considered prior. Pie have been asked to provide service that can eventually extend due west from the project instead of north. Town Center Way was noted to be unacceptable by Technical Services, Town Center Way has been re -named to Turnstone Lane. All references to Town Center Way have been revised throughout the plan set to reference Turnstone Lane. The final plat and the Site and Landscape plans have also been revised. The paving for North County 13 has been extended around the corner so that paving does not end in the curve. This was revised at the request of Ward Stanford EnQineerinQ Comments (Staff Project Review) 1. "The hig thing is still the required easements.

The following is my comments regarding the easements needed for this project: 1) Right of Way for CR13 —received the recorded copy —thank you. 2) Utility easement adjacent to CR13 —Please provide a copy of the recorded easement when the documents have been re -recorded. 2A) Slope and drainage easement at corner of CR13 and Douglas Road — draft provided, language as proposed acceptable to the City, this easement needs to be recorded with the County. Please provide a recorded copy upon recordation. 3) Grading easement east of tract E and north of Hearthfire Drive — Draft provided. This easement needs to be dedicated to the City of Fort Collins to guarantee that the easement will exist for who ever will do the grading. Heartfire might not be the one to develop the parcel, but if the easements are dedicated to them it could cause complications when it came time to do the work. See comments on Draft language; also will need to provide attorney certification for this document. 4) Grading easement as well as drainage easement on the Water Supply and Storage Property south of the southwest corner of the site — I understand that this is being worked out with the City attorneys' office. — Engineering and Stormwater will need to see this in acceptable format prior to scheduling a hearing. 5) Construction easement for construction of the retaining wall on Tract K. — All construction easements need to be dedicated to the City of Fort Collins.

Gary Huett of Public Service Company of Colorado offered the following comments: a. Fences proposed to be installed in front lot utility easements behind sidewalks (Typical Street Cross -Sections, Sheet 11 of the utility plans) represent a serious conflict with maintenance of natural gas facilities. These fences need either to be shifted to the rear line of these 9' wide easements or eliminated. b. No trees may be planted closer than 4' to any natural gas line. 2. Mike Spurgin of the Post Office stated that the applicant must make an alternate selection for the proposed street name "Golden Eagle Court". This street name has been previously selected in the Falcon Ridge PUD that is under construction at the corner of Terry Lake Road and Country Club Road. 3. Lori Digliani of Police Services stated that the proposed street name "Golden Eagle Court" must be changed. This would duplicate a current street name near Terry Lake Road and Country Club Road. 4. Jenny Nuckols of the Zoning Department offered the following comments: a. Please clean up the Landscape Plan. The topography lines should be removed. b. Include the note on the Landscape Plan regarding installation of landscaping prior to issuance of CO's. _'til Vnrlh ('�>Il� ;fir rAcrnu�° L'(>.

It needs to be recorded by the applicant with the County. Please provide a copy of the recorded document. Since it is not an easement being accepted by the City the City does not process it. 7) The drainage easement on lot 47 that has been recorded —The assignment for this easement can. occur at any time since this was tied to the I` filing it can be processed once I receive it. The only thing that needs to be added to the draft is the Grantors address. The County is now requiring this. It can be provided under the grantors signature block. Prior to scheduling Hearthfire PUD, 2"d Filing for a final hearing I will need all off site easements signed and in the final format ready for filing. Prior to signing the utility plan mylars and plat for this project, copies with the County reception number on them need to be provided for all easements that are not to be processed by the City. This would be items 1 (already received), 2, 2A, 4 and 6. If you have any questions, please contact Sheri Wamhoff at 221-6750.

Brian Shear, Shear Engineering Paul Eckman, City Attorney's Office (w/o enclosures) `;heri VVamhoff - Hearthfire PUD, 2nd Filing - CR13 Impacts Page 1 From: Cam McNair To: Lucia Liley; Marc Engemoen; Mark Peterson Date: 10/29/02 5:20PM Subject: Hearthfire PUD, 2nd Filing - CR13 Impacts I asked our staff to comment on the County's most recent proposal for attempting to minimize Hearthfire traffic on CR13/Inverness/Abbotsford. This proposal would involve creating a one-way segment on CR13, northbound only, from Bateleur Lane (future street within Hearthfire) to Douglas Road. I thought it best to summarize our City =_taff's position on this idea in writing. City Transportation and PFA staffs are not in favor of this proposal, and would recommend against it for the following reasons: --- One-way streets need to work together in pairs. Also, without a pair of streets, there is little chance that the one-way street will be obeyed by the public (along with a good chance that there will be little or no enforcement), and thereby creating a safety hazard. --- Doing the one-way will probably prompt some motorists to utilize Country Club Drive to get back to Lemay We already know the Country Club residents' sentiments about these projects, and their concerns for increased traffic on Country Club. We think it will just shift the debate, not resolve it. --- Converting a roadway to a one-way street should be done for the appropriate reasons, not due to one development and the minor traffic caused by that development. There are other users of CR13 besides Hearthfire residents. The traffic rthat currently uses this road are county residents, many of Whom cross Douglas from County Road 13 to the North, as well as those traveling west on Douglas and turning off onto 13/Abbortsford. --- To close this road to two-way traffic would be a great disservice to the residents living along this road, for access by emegency services, and would most likely be violated by many of the residents and others wanting to go south. - The one-way proposal would eliminate a number of secondary points of access and force emergency vehicles to drive a long way around to get into the neighborhood. Also, PFA doesn't like to go against traffic. Charging down a one-way county road is not a good, safe practice. --- Having a one-way street to protect the neighborhood does not seem like a good thing to do, and it would be very difficult to change it back in the future. We understand County staff's purpose in making this proposal is to attempt to lessen the impacts of the development on the existing County residents along CR13/Inverness/Abbotsford. Mark Peterson's letter of October 22, 2002, expresses those concerns very well. We also recently entertained another suggestion - to escrow the funds for making the improvements on CR13 and the connection of Bateleur Lane to CR13. City staff believes that making this connection with the development is important for providing connectivity and travel choices, as well as for providing multiple access points for emergency services. I realize that there are differing viewpoints and concerns between the County and City staffs, with respect to the off -site improvements being built and paid for by the Hearthfire development. Further discussions will occur at the P&7 Work Session on Friday afternoon, November 1st, probably at or after 1:15 PM. The formal hearing on the project is scheduled for Monday evening, November 4th, after 6:30 PM, Cam McNair, PE City Engineer 281 North College Avenue Fort Collins, CO 80522-0580 9heri'VVamhoff - Hearthfire PUD, 2nd Filing - CR13 Impacts Page 21 Phone:970-221-6605 Fax:970-221-6378 E-mail: cmcnair@fcgov.com CC: Cameron Gloss, Eric Bracket Gary Diede Project Comments Sheet Selected Departments City of Fort Collins 6, 2003 Project:�'HEABIHF-IRt= PUD, 2ND FILING #31-95E All comments must be received by Steve Olt in Current Planning, no later than the staff review meeting: Note - Please identify your redlines for future reference Issue Contact: Sheri Wamhoff Number: 8 Created: 6/26/2001 Plat Provide reception Ws for existing/off site easements that do not have them listed yet when these are obtained.

Also, red -lined plans, with additional comments, are being forwarded to the applicant. Please contact Sheri, at 221-6750, if you have questions about her comments. The comments and concerns were expressed at the weekly staff review meeting of June 23, 1999: Engineering (Sheri Wamhoff) 9. Phasing is being shown on the Site & Landscape Plan but not on the utility plans. These plans should be consistent with each other. 10. There is an existing 60' wide right-of-way for County Road 13. This road needs to be a collector street. Additional right-of-way may be needed. City staff would like to schedule a meeting with the applicant to discuss this issue. Some pieces of right-of-way will need to be dedicated by separate document. 11. An updated traffic study is needed if one has not already been provided. 12. Whiting Oil company will have to sign the subdivision plat and utility plans. 13, More work is needed on the internal and external street design. 14. More work is needed on the subdivision plat. 15. More work is needed on the utility plans. 16. This development proposal is not ready to be scheduled for a public hearing based on the condition of the plans. Stormwater (Glen Schlueter 17. The required SWMM Run has not yet been done for this project. 18. The drainage report does not provide the necessary detailed sizing of pipes and swales. 19. The drainage report does not say where the concentrated flow from Town Center Drive goes. 20. Off -site easements are needed and they are not accounted for at this time. 21. Off -site flows are not yet taken into account. This is a repeat comment. 22. The utility plans are not close to being sufficient for final approval. This development proposal is not ready to be scheduled for public hearing. Natural Resources (Kim Kreimever) 23. Off -site mitigation (on the First Filing) for wetlands on this site need to be shown on these plans. 24. The Trusses Orchid study still needs to be done and provided for review. 25. The Preble's Meadow Jumping Mouse Study still needs to be done and provided for review. Transportation Planning (Kathleen Reavis) 26. Walkway connections are needed from the cul-de-sacs to County Road 13. Planning 27. Several lots at the northwest end of Grosbeak Court are beyond the maximum of 660' from a single point of access for emergency access purposes. In this case the starting point for the single point of access would be the intersection of Grosbeak Court and Town Center Drive. The center of the cul-de-sac at the end of Grosbeak Court is 770' from the intersection to the southeast. This completes the review comments at this time. Additional comments may be forthcoming as the various departments and reviewing agencies continue to review this request. Staff has determined that the project is not yet ready to go to the Planning and Zoning Board for a decision due to outstanding issues. Another round of review is necessary. When it is ready to go to the Board a date will be scheduled for a public hearing, which would be held on the first or third Thursday of each month. There is a mandatory minimum two week public notification period prior to the public hearing. Please submit the number of copies of the applicable documentation as indicated on the attached Revisions Routing Sheet and return all drawings red -lined by City staff with submission of all revisions you will make. You may contact me at 221-6750 if you have questions about these comments or would like to schedule a meeting to discuss them.

(As well as the redlined prints from your last set of referral corrmaent s.) This is a response to the roost recent review comments concerning the Final Site and Landscape Plan, Final Utility Plans and Final Plat for the Heartbfire P.U.D. Second Filing. This response will address Public Service Company, Post Office, Zoning Department, Natural Resources Planning Departnent, Transportation Planning Department, Stormweter Utility, Engineering and Planning comments noted in your letter and the Project Comment Sheet dated June 30, 1999- Shear Engineering Cor?oration has written separate letters to Engineering and Stormwatcr to address their specific continents sheets. Copies of those letters will be provided for your records. 1 Public Service Company a. Fences proposed to be installed in front lot utility easements behind sidewalks... Fences have been removed from the Street Typical Sections. All fences in or near proposed easements will be subject to separation requirements of the various utilities placed within the utility easements. At this time, we cannot predict where the utilities will be located within the easements. Lot owners will ultimately have to comply with the MiTective utility cornpamYs restrictions. A note has been placed in the General Notes on the Overall Master Utility Plan stating "Fences placed within or adjacent to utility and or drainage easements shall be subject to restrictions and minimum setbacks established by the respective utility or entity." b, No trees may be planted closer than 4' ro any natural gas line. - See mote number 14 under Plant Notes on the Site and Landscape Plan that states: "All trees must be located a minimium of 4' from any natural gas line, and 10' from water and sewer mains." (This note was on the previous submittal.) Also, a note has been placed in the General Notes on the Overall P4innitsg S Design LLc 422$ WesCho-e WT! Fen COMM. CO 50525 p7o) 226-1655 • (970) 226-1635 NA Master Utility Plan stating: ,No trees are to be planted within four (N) feet of gas lines." 2. Post Office a. Make an alternate selection for the proposed street name "Golden Eagle Court". - Golden Eagle Court ba3 been changed to "Buteos Court". 3. Police Services a. The proposed street name "Golden Eagle Court" must be changed. - Golden Eagle Court has been changed to "Buteos Court". 4, Zoning Department a. Please clean up the Landscape Plan. The topography lines should be removed. The proposed grading (topography) has been removed from the. Site and Landscape Plan. (Note that Natural Resources had asked to have the proposed contours added to this plan.) b. Include the note on the Landscape Plan regarding installation of landscaping prior to issuance of Cos - See note munber 1 under "Landscape - Assurances" that staves: "Ali landscaping proposed for installation, with the exception of the surface treatment in residential parkways, must be secured with an irrevocable letter of credit, performance bond, or escrow account for 125% of the valuation of the landscape material prior to the issuance of a final certificate of occupancy, for each phase as denoted by the letters A G. The escrow for such landscaping may be phased, including landscaping associated with street trees indicated for planting in public right of way in the front or side of a residential lot." Also see note number 2 under "Landscape - Assurances" that states: "All street trees indicated for planting in the front or side of a residential lot shall be planted by the builder or developer no sooner than home occupancy and no longer than 9 tuctiths after home occupancy." (Both of these notes were on the previous submittal.) c. Show phasing lines on the Landscape Plan. A separate sheet is not needed. The phasing, lines where originally on Sheet 2 of 2. We have now transferred this information to Sheet 1 of 2. d. Whar is the proposed pedestrian equestrian trail to be constructed of The pedestrianicquestrian trail is constructed of crushed limestone and this has been noted on the plan. Also note that this trail was constructed with the First Filing to provide the required emergency access for the I' Filing. e. How do the residents of Lot 17 access their property in a vehicle? There is only approximately 30' of street frontage on Bateleur Court and there appears to be a street tree near the middle portion of the lot. Will this obstruct the access? Where will the drivewaay go? The driveways for all lots are proposed to be a maximum of 12' wide where they meet the street. This gives us, room to fit the driveway between the lot line and tree, but because of the Zoning Department's concerns, we have moved the tree approximately 10' to the south. 5. Natural Resources Planning Department a. The native dryland grass seed mixture needs to be added to the Landscape Plan. - The "Native Seed Mix" was included on the previous submittal and is located on the bottom of Sheet 1 of 2. b. The wetlands that were created with the First Filing as mitigation for wetlands disturbed on this Second Filing must be shown on the Site and Landscape Plans. - A new sheet has been created (Sheet 2 of 2) which shows the wetlands mitigated areas. X e. The wetlands must have a Preble's Meadow Jumping Molise habitat evaluation. - Please see enclosed 'Preble's Meadow lurnping Mouse Habitat Assessment, Hearthf-ire P.U.D.' dated August 27, 1999, prepared by: T.R. Boss Environmental and Biological Consulting. d. Limits of development, including proposed grading and construction, need to be clearly delineated on the Site Plan. The proposed grading bad been shown on the plaits for the previous submittal. Based upon the continents for the Zoning Department, see item number 4.a above, the proposed grading has bona removed from the Site and Landscape Plan. Please see the Final Utility Plans as prepared by Shear Engineering Corporation for grading and construction limits. Note that the limits of development shall include all areas within the property boundaries of the project with the exception of the existing wetland areas in Tract C. e. The Trusses Orchid study needs to be done and provided for review. Please see enclosed "Ute Ladies' - Tressed Orchid Field Survey, Hearthfre P.U.D." dated August 27, 1999, prepared by: T.R. Boss Environmental and Biological Consulting. 6. Tr•ansportadon Department a. Paved bicycle/pedestrian connections should be provided from the cul-de-sacs to CountyRoad 13. We have included two (2) additional bicycle/pedestrian connections to County Road 13, one from Grosbeak Court and one from Bateleur Court. Note that all of the bicycle/pedestrian trails located within the First Filing have been constructed of crushed limestone and therefor we would prefer to be consistent in the construction of the trails within the Second Filing. 7. Stormwater Utllity See attached comments from Shear Engineering Corp. Engineering Department a. Phasing is being shown on the Site & Landscape Plan but not on the utility plans. These plans should be consistent with each other. The phasing as shown on the Site and Landscape Plan pertains only to the Landscaping and the requirements for a landscape escrow prior to any CO's. The utility and street improvements shall all be installed in one (1) phase. b. There is an existing 60' wide right-of-way for County Road 13. This road needs to be a collector street. Additional right-of-way may be needed. The Site and Landscape Plan has been revised to show an additional 3' of right-of-way dedication on the east side of CR 13. (A total of 33' from the center line.) c. 4n updated traffic study is needed if one has not already been provided. - An updated traffic letter from Matt Delich was submitted with the last submittal on May 25, 1999. An additional copy of the letter is enclosed. d. whiting 011 Company will have to sign the subdivision plat and utility plans. - This comment has been noted. e. Red -lined Site and Landscape Plan Handicap Ramps have been relocated as noted. A Maxim urn Building Envelope has been added to Lot 1. It has been noted that the pedestrian/bicycle easement is a public easement. Notes 1 and 3 under Project Notes have been revised. The note regarding the lighted house numbers is based upon an agreement with the adjacent property owners and the developer which allowed the elimination of most streetlights within the project. 9. Planning a. several lots at the northwest end of Grosbeak Court are beyond the maximum of 660'from u single paint of access for emergency access purposes... - We have added a 30' wide emergency access easement with a 20' crushed limestone emergency access road from County Road 13 to Grosbeak Court. This should be able to provide the required second access point for Grosbeak Ct. I believe this addresses all of the comments since the last submittal.

Site Plan • Town Center Way — What does this serve? Would this road be better of being a driveway and not a street? It says it is future access to water supply and storage company property — is this developable property or would this just be an access to the lake. If it would be better as a driveway it would solve the problem of this road not meeting the street design standards. • Is the x-walk across Town Center Drive a painted or enhanced x-walk? • Note indicates that a portion of this site was landscaped with the first filing. What are the limits of that? Do they correspond with the limits of regrading as shown on these plans? • Need to show improvements to CR13 to the south end of the road and all the way out to Douglas Road. The sidewalk along CR13 needs to be shown at the back of Row. • The sidewalk connection out from the cul-de-sac needs to be concrete. It connects to a concrete sidewalk at each end, makes no sense for it not to be concrete, plus our standard is concrete. • Can a dirt trail be left along CR13 behind the sidewalk to accommodate a riding path? • Grosbeak Court should be continued out to CRI3. This will solve the emergency access problem and will provide for an acceptable connection. Then can eliminate the cul-de-sac on Grosbeak Court (gaining that row back) as well as eliminating the potential future connection from 6ateleur Ct (gaining that row back). The sidewalk connection from the cul-de-sac would still be required. Lots 5 and 6 would then be able to gain access from the continuation of the street and not be forced to take access off of the cul-de-sac. • The wetlands mitigation map needs a north arrow.

It connects to a concrete sidewalk at each end, makes no sense for it not to be concrete, plus our standard is concrete. • Can a dirt trail be left along CR13 behind the sidewalk to accommodate a riding path? • Since the roads are shown as driveover curb, why is there a need for driveways at the Whiting petroleum easements? Do want to see handicap ramps at the pedestrian crossings. The width of these ramps would be the same width as the trail/ sidewalk width up to a maximum width of 8 feet. • Typical x-section — CR13 Provide a minimum 30 foot width and a dirt horse trail beyond the sidewalk Intersection details - • Need to provide information on the courts. • Town Center Drive and Bateleur Court —A minimum 30-foot transition length is required. Identify what transition length is to be used. Provide elevations in accordance with detail D-18. Some of the elevations shown do not match those shown on the plan and profiles. • Town Center Drive and Grosbeak Court — identify the transition length. Provide elevations in accordance with detail D- 18. • Town Center Way and Town Center Drive - identify the transition length. Provide elevations in accordance with detail D-18. • Town Center Drive and Buteos Court — indicate the transition length. Plan and Profiles • Minimum K— 40 for sag curve, 30 mph design. Minimum K-30 for crest curve, 30 mph design. • Town Center Drive — What is the existing grade being tied into? A minimum .6% grade is required for x-pans. Minimum K— 40 for sag curve, 30 mph design. Minimum K-30 for crest curve, 30 mph design. • Town Center Way -- need to have a slope of less than 2% for 50 feet from the intersecting row (section 1.02.03.05.c). Need to provide protection from erosion due to the drainage off of the end of the street. Where does this drainage go? Need to show and provide easements. What station does the property line correspond to? Will need to provide money for that portion of the road to the property line that can not be built at this time. Need to provide an off site design for 500 feet beyond the property line. What does this road serve? Would this be better off as a driveway rather than a public street? Many of the design concerns would go away if this were just a driveway. The question is: is a roadway needed for the future use of the water supply and storage company property? (continued on next page) Hearthfire PUD, Second Filing (sheet 3 of 3) November 23, 1999 • Buntwing Court— Where is the low point in the vertical curve encompassing the inlet. • Bateleur Court - Need a vertical curve at the end of the cul-de-sac. Minimum K= 40 for sag curve, 30 mph design. Minimum K=30 for crest curve, 30 mph design. Need to achieve a minimum 1% slope in the cul-de-sac. • Grosbeak Court— Minimum K= 40 for sag curve, 30 mph design. Minimum K=30 for crest curve, 30 mph design. Need a vertical curve where tying into the existing grade. A couple of locations where the grades break exceeds .4%. Missing a portion of the grade line. Grosbeak Court should be continued out to CR13. This will solve the emergency access problem and will provide for an acceptable connection. Then can eliminate the cul-de-sac on Grosbeak Court (gaining that row back) as well as eliminating the potential future connection from Bateleur Ct (gaining that row back). The sidewalk connection from the cul-de-sac would still be required. Lots 5 and 6 would then be able to gain access from the continuation of the street and not be forced to take access off of the cul-de-sac. • CR13 — Need to provide designs for 500 feet beyond the limits of construction. Min K= 60 for crest and sag conditions, 40 mph design. At the low spot near the intersection is there an inlet here? Where will the drainage go? For the design of the road to the south - use a standard intersection radius for the inside radius of CRl3 and Inverness intersection. Use a 15-foot radius for the exterior curve. The improvements to CR13 need to be constructed to the southern boundary of the road including the installation of an inlet (if necessary) to accommodate the drainage. Grading plans • Is there any grading needed on the West Side of CR13 to tie the road improvements into the existing grade? • The grades on the west and southwestem comer do not appear to tie into the existing grades. Easements are needed for all grading outside of the property Tines. Details • Need a driveover curb detail detail for detached walk (needs to have a thickened back 12 inches). Need detached sidewalk comer ramp detail. Need detail D-4 for the Pedestrian connections at cul-de-sac. Provide details D-18 and D-19 to identify the transition lengths to be used if they are standard lengths. • No bollards have been shown, but a detail is provided? • Provide Dowel detail (detail no. 4) See additional comments on the plans.

Collins, Colorado Dear Sheri, This is a response to your most recent review comments concerning the final utility plans and Final Plat for Hearthfire P.U.D. Second Filing. This response will address several utility plan and final plat review comments, as well as written comments noted on your Project Comment Sheet signed and dated July 6, 1999. This response letter will follow the format of the review comments. This submittal contains additional information as requested by the various review agencies, and sheets have been added accordingly. Please refer to the attached index of sheets for a cross-reference of the previous sheet numbers to the current sheet numbers. When responding to comments pertaining to specific sheets that have been renumbered, the previous sheet number will appear first, followed by the current sheet number in parenthesis. Please note that a separate response letter has been provided by PineCrest Planning and Design. We will reference those responses occasionally and have attached a copy of that letter for you immediate reference. COMMENT SHEET RESPONSE PLAT COMMENTS (General) • Additional plat notes have been added and the most current attorney certification has been provided. • The "Plan Note" pertaining to Home Owners Association's responsibility for tracts has been revised to clarify the Home Owners Association will own the tracts. • All offsite easements which are needed to accommodate the Second Filing have been recorded. No additional offsite easements are required to our knowledge. Offsite easements noted in the plans that are existing and recorded have been labeled with the appropriate reception number_ We have attached a copy of the recorded Whiting Oil easement for I learthfire P.U.D., First Filing for your immediate reference. • Neither of the two (2) Whiting Oil easements noted on the Second Filing plat are currently dedicated. They will be dedicated with the Second Filing plat. Also, an approval block has been added to plat for Whiting Petroleum Corporation to acknowledge easements dedicated by this project. 4836 S.

Collins, Colorado PLAT COMMENTS (General) • Additional rear lot easements have been provided as requested. These have been closely coordinated with the Utility Plans and the P.U.D. Site Plan. • Easements have been closely coordinated and are now consistent between the Plat and the Utility Plans. • The plat has been revised to add an additional three feet (3') of right-of-way for North County Road 13. This has been closely coordinated with the Utility Plans and the P_U.D Site Plan. • Repeat comment: Additional rear lot easements have been provided as requested. These have been closely coordinated with the Utility Plans and the P.U.D. Site Plan. UTILITY PLAN COMMENTS (General) • The General Notes have been revised as directed. • All City of Fort Collins approval blocks have been revised to replace "Director of Engineering" with "City Engineer", and the "Traffic Engineer" has been added. • To alleviate the need for individual residential fire sprinkler systems in residences on Lots 4, 5, and 6, as well as to provide a pedestrian access to North County Road 13, an emergency and pedestrian access has been provided from the west end of Grosbeak Court to North County Road 13. All affected drawings have been revised This item has been coordinated with the final plat. • A pedestrian connection has now been provided between Bateleur Court and North County Road 13 All affected sheets have been revised to represent the pedestrian connection. • Project main infrastructure construction will not be phased. Phasing is not represented on the Site Plan. The phasing represented on the Landscape Plan noted originally was related to Landscaping phasing only and the requirements for an escrow prior to any COs. Please refer to response letter from PineCrest Planning and Design. • All midblock handicap ramps have been relocated to line up with intersection ramps as directed. All affected sheets have been revised. PAGE 3 October 26, 1999 Project No: 1552-01-96 Re: Hearthfire P.U.D., Second Filing; Ft. Collins, Colorado UTILITY PLAN COMMENTS (General) • North County Road 13 has been revised for collector status. Our understanding is that the City of Fort Collins Master Street Plan has been revised since our initial submittal in 1997_ The final plat has been revised to add another three feet (3') of right-of-way. A typical section for a collector with a 40' roadway width and 66' right-of-way has been added to the typical section sheet "for reference only" Another typical section has been added to the typical section sheet for construction requirements for 1/2 of the collector with Hearthfire P.U.D., Second Filing. The North County Road 13 Plan and Profile sheet has been revised - Both centerline and east flowline profiles are represented. All affected sheets in the plan set have been revised • All main street profiles which did not conform to vertical curve K-value requirements have been adjusted. K values are now listed for convenience. In isolated curb return profiles, the K values may not adhere to the standards. However, the centerline profiles and intersection grading in the travel lanes is in compliance. • Intersection details have been provided on Sheets 14 and 15. Critical spot elevations have been provided in accordance with details D-18, and D-19. The actual City standard details D-18 and D-19 have not been provided on the detail sheets. • A midblock cross walk has been provided on Town Center Drive where the path crosses the street. Curb cuts and pavement markings are shown in all relevant plans. • Crosspan grades are represented on all intersection details where a crosspan exists. An attempt has been made to accommodate the minimum 0.60% grade requirement for all crosspans The Town Center Drive crosspan at Buteos Court does not comply. Because it is impossible to meet the 0.60% crosspan grade when a street grade is less than 0.60% (Minimum allowable gutter grade is 0.50%). The crosspan at Town Center Drive and Buteos Court has a grade of 0.56% to match the grade of Town Center Drive (0.56%). The 0.56% grade was carried through the intersection from PCR to PCR. This results in a crosspan of varying depths- Please note the proposed Larimer County Urban Area Street Standards allow a varying crosspan depth to accommodate the difference in depths of a curb and the depth of the crosspan. • Town Center Way has not been profiled 500' past the end of the proposed Town Center Way as requested. There is no survey data available to appropriately profile this section at this time Our understanding is that this street may have been required as a condition of Preliminary approval of the entire Hearthfire P.U.D. Water Supply and Storage, the owner of Richards Lake, required an access to their property for future potential development. The profile has been revised to provide a vertical curve with a K value of 30. Surveyors have been scheduled and we hope to have a revised profile to you prior to your next detailed review.

Collins, Colorado UTILITY PLAN COMMENTS (General) • Labels on cul-de-sac flowline profiles have been modified to properly tie the cul-de-sac flow line stationing to the street stationing. The current plans provide a clear equation station tying the various profiles together. • Cul-de-sac flowline high point stations and elevations have been clearly labeled on the cul- de-sac flowline profiles. They have also been clearly labeled on the cul-de-sac (intersection) details. Center of cul-de-sac have been clearly labeled on the cul-de-sac (intersection) details_ • The Grosbeak Court transition has not been revised. The transition provided from the collector width of fifty feet (50') constructed with Hearthfire P.U.D., First Filing to the local width of thirty feet (30') proposed with Hearthfire P.U.D., Second Filing, has a current transition length of 90 feet. The difference of 1/2 street width over this length is ten feet (10'). This results in a 9:1 transition. An 8:1 transition is recommended for a 30 mph design speed in the proposed Larimer County Urban Area Street Standards (See attached). The 15 1 taper would accommodate a 50MPH speed limit. • As mentioned previously, a pedestrian connection has now been provided between Bateleur Court and North County Road 13. In addition, to ensure future extension of the road is practical, the future centerline has been profiled from the end of the cul-de-sac to North County Road 13. An intersection detail labeled "For Reference Only" has also been provided with the intersection details. • Plan comments have been noted and have been addressed. PLAN COMMENTS (Specific) SHEET l; Cover Sheet • All cover sheet general notes have been revised.

SHEET 13 (SHEET 18); Town Center Way Street Plan and Profile • Town Center Way has not been profiled 500' past the end of the proposed Town Center Way as requested There is no survey data available to appropriately profile this section at this time. Our understanding is that this street may have been required as a condition of Preliminary approval of the entire Hearthfire P.U.D. Water Supply and Storage, the owner of Richards Lake, required an access to their property for future potential development. The profile has been revised to provide a vertical curve with a K value of 30. Surveyors have been scheduled and we hope to have a revised profile to you prior to your next detailed review. • Curb return profiles for Town Center Drive and Town Center Way have been provided - • A type Ill barricade has been added at the terminus of Town Center Way.

Street Plan and Profile • Flowline profiles have been provided. The Pondview Court cul-de-sac flowline profile has been revised to correctly show the starting and ending cul-de-sac flowline profile stations with the appropriate tie to centerline stationing. • The Pondview Court vertical curve K values are less than 30. However, the standard reference to K values generally refers to street centerlines (or traffic lanes). The centerline profile in this instance has a K value within the accepted standard. • Curb return profiles have been provided • The Grosbeak Court transition has not been revised. The transition provided from the collector roadway width of fifty feet (50') constructed with Hearthfire P.U.D., First Filing to the local roadway width of thirty feet (30') proposed with Hearthfire P.U.D., Second Filing, has a current transition length of 90 feet. The difference of 1/2 street width over this length is ten feet (10'). This results in a 9:I transition. An 8:1 transition is recommended for a 30 mph design speed in the proposed Latimer County Urban Area Street Standards. SHEET 16 (SHEET 19); Buntwing Ct. & Bateleur Ct. Street Plan and Profile • The cul-de-sac flowline profiles have been revised to correctly show the starting and ending cul-de-sac flowline profile stations with the appropriate tie to centerline stationing. • The cul-de-sac flowline high point stations and elevations have been clearly labeled on the cul-de-sac flowline profiles.

Community Planning and Environmental Services Current Planning City of Fort Collins November 26, 1999 Tom Dugan PineCrest Planning and Design, LLC 4225 Westshore Way Fort Collins, CO. 80525 Dear Tom, Staff has reviewed your revisions for Hearthfire PUD, Second Filing - Final that were submitted to the City on October 26, 1999, and would like to offer the following comments: 1. Mike Spurgin of the Post Office stated that they have no concerns or comments at this time. 2. Lori Digliani of Police Services offered the following comments: a. It appears that Grosbeak Court is a continuation of Hearthfire Drive and, therefore, should not have a separate street name. b. Buntwing Court and Bateleur Court are the same street and should have one name. Continuous straight line streets need to maintain the same name: to decrease confusion. C. Town Center Drive makes a 90 degree turn. This will result in abrupt address changes for the same street. They are requesting a different street name when the street direction changes to this degree or higher for continuity in addressing. 3. The Mapping/Drafting Department offered the following comments: a. The subdivision plat and legal description do close. b. Information must be provided regarding the portion of Grosbeak Court shown to be ".....Dedicated by Separate Document'. 281 North College AVenne • P.O. Box 580 • Fort Collins, CO 80522-0580 • (970) 221-6750 • FAX (970) 416-2020 C. This subdivision plat must show the recording information for Hearthfire Way and Hearthfire Drive that were shown and dedicated in the First Filing. d. The street names need to be approved by a City "naming committee". 4. Gary Lopez and Peter Barnes of the Zoning Department offered the following comments: a. Tracts 'B' and 'D' do not appear to be within any of the landscaping phases proposed in the Second Filing. b. Why are there very few trees proposed for any of the open space tracts? Except for an existing Cottonwood and 3 trees behind Lot 10, these areas separating the blocks are devoid of trees. More are recommended. C. It would be helpful if the phase lines were made darker and labeled so that they would be easier to see and follow. Please contact Gary or Peter, at 21-6760, if you have questions about these comments. 5. Kim Kreimeyer, the City's Natural Resources Planner, offered the following comments: a. A copy of a memorandum from Kim, regarding the Preble's Meadow Jumping Mouse Habitat Assessment, is attached to this comment letter. b. The species listed as "native seed mix" is not native. Please see the attached copy of the Fort Collins Native Plants brochure that is being forwarded to the applicant. Please contact Kim, at 221-6641, if you have questions about these comments. 6. Kathleen Reavis of the Transportation Planning Department offered the following comments: a. Provide a concrete path, not gravel, between the cul-de-sac at the end of Bateleur Court and County Road 13. b. The longer trail off of the road at the curve between Country Road 13 and Inverness Drive should provide a concrete "apron" or flared area as the path approaches Country Road 13 so that gravel does not drag out onto that road. Please contact Kathleen, at 224-6140, if you have questions about her comments. 7. A copy of the comments received from Donald Dustin of the Stormwater Utility is attached to this comment letter. Also, red -lined plans and reports, with additional comments, are being forwarded to the applicant. Please contact Donald, at 221-2053, if you have questions about his comments. 8. A copy of thie comments received from Sheri Wamhoff of the Engineering Department is attached to this comment letter. Also, red -lined plans, with additional comments, are being forwarded to the applicant. Please contact Sheri, at 221-6750, if you have questions about her comments. 9. A copy of the comment sheet received from Ron Gonzales of the Poudre Fire Authority is attached to this comment letter. 10. Bruce Vogel of the Light & Power Department stated that they have no concerns and comments at this time. 11. Dean Smith of the Boxelder Sanitation District stated that they have no concerns and comments at this time. 12. Dennis Greenwalt of AT&T Cable Service stated that they have no concerns and comments at this time. The comments and concerns were expressed at the weekly staff review meeting of November 17, 1999: Engineering (Sheri Wamho 13. Phasing is being shown on the Site & Landscape Plan but not on the utility plans. These plans should be consistent with each other. Is the phasing for landscaping only? 14. Is the landscaping along the path between Lots 18 — 22 really part of the First Filing? 15. Is the location and design of the emergency access off of County Road 13 acceptable to the Poudre Fire Authority? 16. The development plans are not ready to be scheduled for a public hearing (for a decision), primarily because of outstanding Douglas Road issues. Sanitary Sewer Plan and Profile: 1) Show all utility crossings in profile view 2) Manholes are mislabeled on sheet 3. 3) Show pipe type and lengths in plan view. 4) Show scale in plan view. 5) Need to show sewer line between manholes 13-10 and B-9. 6) Maximum line lengths between manholes is 400', which exceeded between manholes F-15 and F-14 and between manholes F-14 and F-13. Street Plan and Profile: 1) All intersections need spot elevations per standard details D-18 and D-19. 2) Show crosspans in profile. 3) Show matchlines in plan view. 4) Access ramps are needed for the emergency access between lots 21-22 and 42-43. 5) Show flowl.ine profiles for Ingle Ct. and Buntwing Ct. Master Grading and Erosion Control Plan: 1) Landscaped berm shown on Final Site plan should be shown on the grading plan. 2) Modify grading in the sight distance easement to provide adequate sight distance. "For additional comments, see redline utility plans" Stormwater (Basil Hamdan 17. An easement is needed for the swale for the storm water transition from street flows to Richards Lake. 18. Show the grading on the utility plans. 19. The drainage flows crossing Douglas Road are not accounted for and shown on the utility plans. 20. Off -site easements are needed and they are not accounted for at this time. 21. Affected Ditch Company approval (and signature) is needed. 22. The utility plans are not yet sufficient for final approval. This development proposal is not ready to be scheduled for public hearing. Natural Resources (Kim Kreimeyer) 23. No additional comments at this time. Transportation Planning (Kathleen Reavis) 24. No additional comments at this time. Planning 25. Please be aware of the 90 day revision resubmittal requirement (see paragraph below) to keep this project proposal in the City's development review process. 26. A street connection from either Bateleur Court or Grosbeak Court to County Road 13 should be provided. The current plans show a 51' right-of-way for a future street from Bateleur Court to the country road. The City and the applicant should determine now if the street connection is necessary and, if so, the street should be constructed now with the Second Filing. Trying to complete the street connection in the future, after residents are in place, could be very difficult. This completes the review comments at this time. Additional comments may be forthcoming as the various departments and reviewing agencies continue to review this request. Staff has determined that the project is not yet ready to go to the Planning and Zoning Board for a decision due to outstanding issues. Another round of review is necessary. Under the development review process and schedule there is a 90 day plan revision submittal time -frame mandated by the City. The 90 day turnaround period begins on the date of the comment letter prepared by the project planner in the Current Planning Department (in this case, 11/26/99). Upon receipt, the revisions will be routed to the appropriate City departments and outside reviewing agencies, with their comments due to the project planner no later than the third weekly staff review meeting (Wednesday mornings) following receipt of the revisions. When it is ready to go to the Board a date will be scheduled for a public hearing, which would be held on the first or third Thursday of each month. Please submit the number of copies of the applicable documentation as indicated on the attached Revisions Routing Sheet and return all drawings red -lined by City staff with submission of all revisions you will make. You may contact me at 221-6750 if you have questions about these comments or would like to schedule a meeting to discuss them.

Second Filing, Final. (As well as the redlined prints from your last set of referral comments.) This is a response to the most recent review comments concerning the Final Site and Landscape Plan, Final Utility Plans and Final Plat for the Hearthfire P.U.D., Second Filing. This response will address some of the comments from Police Services, Mapping/Drafting Department, Zoning Department, Natural Resources Planning Department, Transportation Planning Department, Stormwater Utility, Engineering, Poudre Fire Authority, and Current Planning Department noted in Your letter and the Project Comment Sheets dated November 26, 1999. Shear Engineering Corporation has written separate letters to Engineering and Stormwater to address their specific continents as well as the engineering and plat related comments from the other departments. Copies of those letters are included in this resubmittal. 1. Police Services a. it appears that Grosbeak Court is a continuation of Hearthfire Drive and, therefore. should not have a separate street nine. - Grosbeak Court has been renamed Hearthfire Drive as requested. b. Buntwing Court and Bateleur Court are the same street and should have one name... - Buntwing Court has been renamed Bateleur Court but please note that it was the Police Services Dept. that requested in their comment of August 20, 1997 that "one of the Buntwing Courts must be renamed" (a copy of that letter is attached). C. Town Center Drive makes a 90 degree turn. This will result in abrupt address changes for the sane street. Thev are requesting a different street name... - fhe north -south portion of Town Center Drive has been renamed to Buntwing Lane. P1aNNiNg Er Desig» LLC 4225 Westshore Way Fort Collins, CO 80525 (970) 226-1655 • (970) 226-1635 fax 2. Mapping/Drafting Department a. Information Hurst be provided regarding the portion of Grosbeak Court shown to be ...--Dedicated by Separate Document". - As of this date, Grosbeak Ct. (Hearthfire Drive) has not yet been dedicated to the City. This portion of the property is in the process of being annexed into the City. Once annex, it will be dedicated to the City by a separate document. If the dedication precedes the Final Plat recording, this recording information will be added to the plat. b. The street names need to be approved by a City "naming committee". - Because this is the third time we have had to revised different street names based upon different reviewing agencies and staff review, we are requesting the staff have the City's "naming committee" approve all street names on the latest Site and Landscape Plan. 3. Zoning Department a. Tracts 'B' and V do not appear to be within any ofthe landscaping phases proposed in the Second Filing. Tract B is part of phases F and G. Tract D is part of phases A, B, C and D of the landscape phasing plan. These phases have been noted on the Site and Landscape Plan. b. Win, are there very few trees proposed for any of the open space tracts?... More are recommended. The trees as shown on the Site and Landscape Plan follow the same quantities and patterns as shown on the approved Preliminary Site and Landscape Plan for the Hearthfire PUD. Few trees are planted in these open space areas to help replicate the existing feel of the open areas, maintain views to the south and west and to help provide solar access from the south. c. 1t would he helpful if the phase lines were made darker and labeled so that they would be easier to see and follow. - This has been done. 4. Natural Resources Planning Department a. Preble's Meadow Jumping Mouse Habitat Assessment. - Two (2) copies of the revised "Preble'.s Meadow Jumping Mouse Habitat Assessment" as prepared by TR Boss are included in this resubmittal. b. The species listed as "native seed mix" is not native. Please see the attached copy of the "Fort Collins Native Plants" brochure that is being fonearded to the applicant. - A new native seed mix has been prepared by Mr. David Chenoweth of Chenoweth & Associates - Environmental Consultants using the plants from the "Fort Collins Native Plants" brochure. This has been revised on the Site and Landscape Plan. 5. Transportation Department a. Provide a concrete path, not gravel, between the cul-de-sac at the end of Bateleur Court and County Road 13. - This has been changed to a 5' wide concrete bike/pedestrian path. b. The longer trail off of the road at the curve between County Road 13 and Inverness Drive should provide a concrete "apron" or flared area as the path approaches County Road 13 so that gravel does not drag out onto that road. 2 7. A 20' wide concrete drive cut and apron has been shown on the plan in that area as well as at the where the emergency access drive meets County Road 13 at the west end of Hearthfire Drive. Stormwater Utility a. Red -Lined Site and Landscape Plan - Several trees have been moved or removed along Buntwing Lane (Town Center Drive) where the emergency access road crosses to help prevent conflicts with the storm sewer. Also see note # 8 under Plant Notes that states "Minor changes in species and plant locations may be made during construction as required by site conditions." We believe that the tree locations can be modified during construction to help eliminate any conflict base upon actual storm sewer improvement locations. b. please show all storm drainage facilities. - These that been added to the Site and Landscape Plan. Note: See additional attached comments from Shear Engineering Corp. Engineering Department a. Town Center Wav - What does this serve? Would it be better being a driveway and not a street? At the time of the Preliminary PUD, Water Supply and Storage Company, the owner of the property to the south and west, requested that a dedicated road be included in the plan to serve their property so that access can be provided if the property develops in the future. Because this property has the potential to be developed, a driveway may not meet the City's access requirements in the future. b. 1s the x-walk across Town Center Drive a painted or enhanced x-walk? - This is a painted crosswalk and has been label as such on the Site and Landscape Plan. Also see additional response from Shear Engineering Corp. C. Note indicates that a portion of this site was landscaped with the first filing? What are the limits of that? Do they correspond with the limits of regrading as shown on these plans? - Only the emergency access road/trail in tracts B and D has been constructed with the I" Filing. No landscaping has been installed. This note has been removed from the Site and Landscape Plan. Note that the access road/trail has been surveyed and Shear Engineering has graded this portion of the site to correspond to the current existing grades. d. Need to show improvements to CR 13... The sidewalk along CR 13 needs to be shown at the back of Row. - The street improvements have been shown to the south end of the road and all the way out to Douglas Road. Also, the sidewalk has been moved back to the ROW. These have been revised on the Site and landscape Plan. Also see additional response from Shear Engineering Corp. e. the sidewalk connection out from the cut -de -sac needs to he concrete... - This has been changed to a 5' wide concrete walk. f.' Can a dirt trail be left along CR 13 behind the sidewalk to accommodate a riding path? - This path would be out of the City's ROW and the Developer is not willing to install an additional path in the open space area that would need to be owned and maintained by the Homeowner's Association that would not benefit any of the residents within the Hearthfire PUD. 3 g. Grosbeak Court should be continued out to County Road 13.... - This is an interesting comment based upon the past history of the approval process of the Hearthfire PUD. The original plans for the development showed a street connection to CR 13 from the project and not out to Douglas Road. Due to neighborhood opposition, staff comments and the traffic studies, this access point was moved at considerable cost to the developer, to Hearthfire Way (which was not part of the original plans) and out to Douglas Road. At that time the street access to CR 13 was eliminated. The Hearthfire PUD - Preliminary was approved without this access point with staff support though staff recommended in the staff report dated 9/23/96 on page 12 & 13, #5 "The City Transportation staff supports the access locations as proposed. However, the Engineering staff recommends that the proposed street and lot layout on the west edge of the Hearthfire PUD development be modified to include a provision for right-of-way for a future local street connection to County Road 13. That way, a local street connection could be constructed in the future when traffic volumes and surrounding development make it necessary to provide neighborhood connectivity." (A copy of which is attached). This right- of-way has been shown on the 2"d filing plans since that time and when the final for that filing was first submitted and we do not believe that it is appropriate to now ask the developer to make that connection and build the road at this time. We have also requested on three separate occasions since December that staff meet with us to discuss this item. With our 90-day deadline approaching, staff has still not responded to us with a time in which they can meet with us to discuss this item. Also, a crushed limestone pedestrian/bike walk is shown as a connection to the cul-de-sac from CR 13 and the developer believes that lots 5 and 6 are not "forced" to take access off of a cul-de-sac. From a marketing perspective, cul- de-sacs are much more desirable than through streets for the future homeowners. h. The wetlands mitigation map needs a north arrow. - A north arrow is and has been shown on this plan. It is located in the bottom right hand corner of the drawing. i. Phasing is being shown on the Site & Landscape Plan but not on the utility ,plans. These plans should be consistent with each other. Is the phasing for landscaping onlv? - As stated in my response letter of October 25, 1999, item 8 a "The phasing as shown on the Site and Landscape Plan pertains only to the Landscaping and the requirements for a landscape escrow prior to any CO's. The utility and street improvements shall all be installed in one (1) phase." j. Is the landscaping along the path between lots 18-22 really part of the First Filing? - Only the emergency access road/trail in tracts B and D has been constructed with the I` Filing. To date no landscaping has been installed. This note has been removed from the Site and Landscape Plan. Note that the access road/trail has been surveyed and Shear Engineering has graded this portion of the site to correspond to the current existing grades. k. .Is the location and design of the emergency access of of Conlin, Road 13 acceptable to the Poudre Fire Authority? 4 The emergency access south of lot 18 was approved by Poudre Fire Authority with the First Filing. They have reviewed the Second Filing plans and have stated that "All Emergency Access Easement points shall be clearly and distinctly identified. Also all perimeters of all emergency drives shall be clearly visible, and established and maintained to prevent emergency apparatus on other than designated drives." They have not stated any objections to these emergency access drives. Signage and bollards have been added to the Site and Landscape Plan the state emergency access only. Also these access areas have been shown on all plats. 1. Red -Lined Site and Landscape Plan - All items have been addressed in the above comments. 8. Poudre Fire Authority a.

Box 580 Ft. Collins, Colorado 80524 Re: Hearthfire P.U.D., Second Filing; Ft. Collins, Colorado Dear Sheri, This is a response to your most recent review comments concerning the Final Utility Plans and Final Plat for Ilearthfire P.U.D., Second Filing. This response will address several utility plan and final plat review comments, as well as written comments noted on your Project Comment Sheet signed and dated 1 1/23/99. This response letter will generally follow the format of your written review comments. Please note that a separate response letter has been provided by PineCrest Planning and Design. We will reference those responses occasionally and have attached a copy of that letter for your immediate reference. There are several comments which have not been accommodated, primarily due to preliminary project approval conditions and conditions of several agreements which were made in the lengthy process to gain preliminary approval of the entire Hearthfire project. Those items noted will be clarified as the comment is addressed. We feel that it may be appropriate to sit down and discuss the history of the project and more formally address certain conditions with a presentation of historical backup documentation. The staff reports for Hearthfire Preliminary would be your best tool for understanding the conditions of approval. We have attached the staff report dated September 23, 1996 for your immediate reference. UTILITY PLAN COMMENTS (General) • Grosbeak Court has been re -named to Hearthfire Drive. • The North -South portion of Town Center Drive has been renamed to Buntwing Lane. • Buntwing Court has been renamed to Bateleur Court at the direction of the Police Department. This results in two (2) Bateleur Courts. We will address these courts with east and west during our response. • We would like to reiterate that project main infrastructure construction will not be phased. The phasing represented on the Landscape Plan is related to Landscaping phasing only and the requirements for an escrow prior to any COs. PAGE 2 February 24, 2000 Project No: 1552-02-97 Re: Hearthfire P.U.D., Second Filing; Ft. Collins, Colorado COMMENT SHEET RESPONSE PLAT COMMENTS (General) • Clarification has been made regarding those areas which are to be maintained by Whiting Petroleum Corporation. An area of encroachment by Whiting Petroleum Corporation within the limits of Tract E is the primary area in question. This area has been clearly defined on the plat, and noted by meets and bounds. The easement is labeled as a Whiting Petroleum easement. • A drainage easement has been added to the southwest corner of Lot 26. • The Hearthfire Drive right-of-way which is indicated as being dedicated by separate document has not yet been recorded. It will be dedicated by the Hearthfire Way annexations which are currently being revised. The process is somewhat complicated. The annexation could not be recorded until the Amended Exemption was recorded. The Amended exemption was recorded. The 1/6 contiguity requirement for Annexation was not achieved with the Hearthfire Way Annexation. Therefore two (2) annexations are currently being produced by Frederick Land Surveying. • The main Whiting facilities are located just east of Tract E. There is a certain encroachment of the Whiting facilities on Tract E which has prompted the Whiting Petroleum easement on Tract F. The 25' easements are travelways which ultimately cross Hearthfire Drive to access the Whiting Petroleum facility. Additional easements have been dedicated with the Amended exemption_ We have provided a copy of the amended exemption for your immediate reference- We invite you to visit the site to see the actual relationship of the Whiting Petroleum facility with the 25' access easements. Please note that the accesses are in place and the easements have been dedicated by separate document. The First Filing plan is also attached for your immediate reference. • We have accommodated additional plat comments noted on the redlined plat. UTILITY PLAN COMMENTS (Specific) • As noted with our October 26, 1999 response letter, the North County Road 13 cross sections have been removed from the plan set since they were originally prepared for local street status. There was also an elevation datum discrepancy. The elevations were over 3' off. Please refer to the benchmark description on the Cover Sheet. Our understanding is that cross sections are not required with collector streets according to current City of Fort Collins street standards. Hearthfire PUD 2nd Filing Michael Coley Comments from Transportation Coordination Meeting 8/14/97 • Development agreement needs to address the need for encroachment permits for fences constructed in the 'ROW for future connection' at the end of Buntwing Ct. • 'ROW for future connection' at the end of Buntwing Ct. shall be maintained by the homeowners association. PAGE 3 February 24, 2000 Project No: 1552-02-97 Re: Hearthfire P.U.D., Second Filing; Ft. Collins, Colorado • Hearthfire Drive (previously Grosbeak Court) has not been extended to North County Road 13 This is due to numerous agreement issues and conditions of preliminary approval concerning Hearthfire P.U.D. Please refer to additional response and history by PineCrest Planning and Design LLC. This is attached to this response for immediate reference. • As previously noted in our response letter dated October 26, 1999, Water Supply and Storage, the owner of Richards Lake, required an access to their property (Town Center Way) for future potential development. It is a condition of an agreement with Water Supply and Storage. The agreement allows Hearthfire to release stormwater to Richards Lake. We do invite you to discuss this issue with Water Supply and Storage. Please contact Mr. Fred Walker, president of Water Supply and Storage.

Collins, Colorado 90522 • The crosswalk at Buntwing Lane (previously the north -south section of Town Center Drive) is a painted crosswalk. As noted with our October 26, 1999 response letter, A midblock cross walk has been provided where the path crosses the street. Drive approaches and pavement markings are shown in all relevant plans. We have clarified this on the plans. • Improvements to North County Road 13 were shown all the way to Douglas Road at the time Of your last review. The back of walk was placed at the right-of-way line according to current City Street standards for collectors. This was also represented at the time of your last review. All collector standards were met. Therefore, no changes have occurred. Please re -visit your redlined set which has been re -submitted with this re -submittal. The typical street section for North County Road 13 was also accurate. • The sidewalk connection from the Bateleur Court (west) cul-de-sac to North County Road 13 has been changed to concrete. • A dirt trail has not been provided behind the North County Road 13 sidewalk to accommodate a riding trail. Please refer to the response from PineCrest Planning and Design (attached) for discussion and history concerning this issue. PAGE 4 February 24, 2000 Project No: 1552-02-97 Re: Hearthfire P.U.D., Second Filing; Ft. Collins, Colorado • We have provided driveway cuts at the intersection of the Emergency and Whiting Petroleum access with Buntwing Lane (previously Town Center Drive) in order to maintain consistency with what was provided in the First Filing at two (2) other access intersections with public streets. If you feel strongly about the 8' wide handicap access at these points, we can easily accommodate. We concur that driveover curb still allows the accessibility required. We invite you to visit the site to see the current access intersections at Hearthfire Drive and Town Center Drive in the locations noted on the First Filing plan which is attached for immediate reference. • A dirt trail has not be provided behind the North County Road 13 sidewalk on the North County Road 13 typical street section to accommodate a riding trail. Please refer to the response from PineCrest Planning and Design (attached) for discussion and history concerning this issue. UTILITY PLAN COMMENTS (intersection details) • All courts have been detailed. • All transitions have now been noted on the intersection details. Please note that all transitions had been noted in the street plan and profiles on both the plan views and in the profiles. The profile clearly identify where actual typical sections begin and end. • The intersection detail for Buntwing Lane (previously Town Center Drive) and Hearthfire Drive (previously Grosbeak Court) has been updated. • The intersection detail for Town Center Drive and Town Center Way has been updated. • The intersection detail for Town Center Drive and Buteos Court has been updated. UTILITY PLAN COMMENTS (Plan and Profiles) • We have checked all vertical curves for appropriate K values. Vertical curves which did not meet current City street standards for K values have been revised. Miscalculated K values have been corrected. Vertical curves with K-values that did not meet City standards have been re -defined. PAGE 5 February 24, 2000 Project No: 1552-02-97 Re: Hearthfire P.U.D., Second Filing; Ft. Collins, Colorado • The Town ('enter Drive profile is being tied into the existing Town Center Drive which was constructed wi[h the First Filing_ Attached is a copy of the Hearthfire Drive plan and profile liir the First Filing for your immediate reference. As previously noted in our response letter dated October 20, 1999, an attempt has been made to accommodate the minimum 0,60% grade requirement for all crosspans. The Town Center Drive crosspan at Buteos Court does not comply. BccauSe it is impossible to meet the 0.60% crosspan grade when a street grade is less than 0.60°io (Minimum allowable gutter grade is 0.50%). The crosspan at Town Center Drive and Buteos Court has a grade of 0.56% to match the grade of Town Center Drive (0.56%) The 0.56'Yo grade was carried through the intersection at the tlowline from PCR to PCR_ This results in a crosspan of varying depths. Please note the proposed Larimer County Urban Area Street Standards allow a varying crosspan depth to accommodate the difference in depths of a curb and the depth of the crosspan_ Please note If the 0.60% minimum crosspan grade standard is to be achieved always, then the allowable minimum street (or cutter) grade must be increased in the standards. With the difference in the depth of the gutter pan (vertical curb and gutter) and the depth of the crosspan, it is impossible to meet a 0 60% crosspan grade when a street profile is less that 0.85%. 1 would be happy to discuss this issue further My presentation at one of the Latimer County Street Standards advisory committee meetings regarding this subject, was well accepted and prompted the allowance of varying crosspan depths to accommodate these design discrepancies. • Town Center Way has been revised to meet City Street standards with a 2% grade at the intersection for a minimum of 50' beyond the right-of-way. Please refer to all revised plans concerning drainage, erosion control, etc. The property line station has been identified and the end of pavement station has been identified. Please refer to the discussion under the third item of UTILITY PLAN COMMENTS (specific) concerning the Town Center Drive service to the Water Supply and Storage property where Richards Lake is situated- • The profile for Bateleur Court east (previously Buntwing Court) has been revised to identify the low point relative to the inlet location. Please note that the vertical curves on either side of the inlet end with a 0.50% grade into the inlet. • The Bateleur Court west cul-de-sac flowline profile has been revised to indicate a 0.40% grade into the high point A vertical curve has not been provided. A minimum of 1% cross slope has been achieved in the cul-de-sac. Cul-de-sac details have been updated to reflect the revised cross slopes. • Minimum K-values for Hearthfire Drive (previously Grosbeak Court) noted. This street will not be continued to North County Road 13. This is due to numerous agreement issues and conditions of preliminary approval concerning Hearthfire P.U.D. Please refer to additional response and history by PineCrest Planning and Design LLC. This is attached to this response for immediate reference. PAGE 6 February 24, 2000 Project No: 1552-02-97 Re: Hearthfire P.U.D., Second Filing; Ft. Collins, Colorado • North County Road 13 has not been profiled for 500' north of Douglas Road. No design is necessary since the profile exists and the proposed Douglas Road profile will match existing. A profile for 500' beyond the south limits of construction for North County Road 13 will be provided_ Additional survey data is required and was unavailable at the time of this response. UTILITY PLAN COMMENTS (Grading Plans) • The grading plans have been updated to represent final grading for North County Road 13. Generally, the proposed North County Road 13 profile is similar to the existing profile. No extensive grading on the west side of North County Road 13 will occur. • Grading has been revised in the southwestern area of the project. We recognize that easements are required for all grading outside the limits of the Hearthfire property. Please note that easements are now represented on the Water Supply and Storage property Discussions with Water Supply and Storage are occurring. Please note that an easement will also be provided on the Amended Exemption property at the southeast corner of the intersection of North County Road 13 and Douglas Road to supplement the required additional right-of-way. UTILITY PLAN COMMENTS (Details) • The driveover curb, gutter and walk detail provided in the current City street standards clearly identities driveover curb and gutter_ There is not a 12" thickened section_ We have referenced the DRAFT Larimer County Growth Management Area Street standards- The driveover curb does not have a 12" thickened back section. We have included a collector intersection detail for detached walk. Detail D-4 for the pedestrian connection at a cul-de-sac has been added. Details D-18 and D-19 have not been added to the plan set. The intersections have been further detailed and now represent transition locations consistent with those noted with the street plan and profiles. All transitions differ. • A bollard and chain has been identified at the intersection of North County Road 13 and the 20' wide crushed limestone pedestrian, bike trail and emergency access road between North County Road 13 and the end of Hearthfire Drive (previously Grosbeak Court)- A bollard and chain has also been identified at the south end of North County Road 13 where the emergency access intersects with North County Road 13. These locations are consistent with the revised Site Plan by PineCrest Planning and Design. 0 The dowel detail (detail no. 4) has been added. PAGE 7 February 24, 2000 Project No 1552-02-97 Re: Ilearthfire P.U.D., Second Filing; Ft. Collins, Colorado We would request that City Light and Power become involved in the project immediately instead of waiting until construction, which is what occurred with First Filing. With the First Filing, we were required to provide a fairly major revision to the Master Utility Plan after the City Light and Power Department finally provided a plan for electric service which affected all water service locations. This was a costly and time consuming task. It also caused delays in construction. We would at an absolute minimum, request a preliminary design from them so we can incorporate their design into our drawings and coordinate water services now. We understand that there may be a certain fee up front to provide this. We trust that this response has addressed a majority of your specific comments and concerns. if VOL] have any questions or further comments during your next detailed project review, please call at (970) 220-5 ;i4 We would respectfully request a project work session (utility coordination meeting) at your earliest available convenience.

This street is referred to as Hearthfire Drive. oWhile traffic volumes will vary somewhat on different = segments of a given street, it is expected that the future o_ volumes on Hearthfire Drive will be in the range of 2500-3000 vehicles per day (vpd). This forecast is based upon the following: - Hearthfire PUD will generate 1415 average weekday trip ends (AWDTE). In the long range future, 80% of these will utilize some portion of Hearthfire Drive. This results in 1132 AWDTE. - The Richards Lake Property, to the southeast, is anticipated to have 700 dwelling units. These will generate 6685 AWDTE. It is assumed that 20% will utilize Hearthfire Drive. This results in 1337 AWDTE. - The resultant forecast is 2469 AWDTE. Providing a contingency, results in a range of 2500-3000 vpd. The commercial portion of the Richards Lake Property is z expected to be neighborhood oriented. Therefore, it will not w likely attract significant trips through the Hearthfire PUD i on Hearthfire Drive. It is expected that mbst external trips z to the commercial portion of the Richards Lake Property will ul be on the county road system, since the commercial area is o near CRII. If the activity center depicted in the "City Plan" a does occur, the forecasted volumes could also decrease. The new street standard for a collector street without i parking indicates a volume range of 3500-5000 vpd. The forecasted volumes are less than this range. From available plans of the Hearthfire PUD, access to this collector street will be limited to public streets and a few driveways to some large lots. Based upon observation, large lot developments It provide significant off-street parking in multi -vehicle garages and ample garage driveway pads. I would not expect a need for on -street parking. From available plans, it is not known whether there are shared driveways for the large lots on the east side of Hearthfire Drive.

I have review the Preliminary approval documents and as per the preliminary staff report"The City Transportation staff supports the access locations as proposed. However, the Engineering staff recommends that the proposed street and lot layout on the west edge of the Hearthfire PUD development be modified to include a provision for right -of --way for a future local street connection to County Road 13. That way, a local street connection could be constructed in the future when traffic volumes and surrounding development make it necessary to provide neighborhood connectivity." The lot layout on the approved preliminary is different than the current proposed layout. The access out to Douglas Road has been moved several hundred feet east and connects into Hearthfire Drive differently than shown on the preliminary. Also with the approved preliminary Grossbeak Court did not exceed the 660- foot maximum requirement of the Code. Section 29-657(b) of the City Code/ Transitional Land Use Regulations. The layout as now shown, Grossbeak Court exceeds the 660-foot max requirement and is providing an emergency access easement to solve the problem while showing the row connection out to County Road 13 on the next road south (A court which does not exceed the maximum length requirement). As per the paragraph in the preliminary staff report, the city is asking that the local street connection be made utilizing Grossbeak Court and not the court to the south. This not only meets the requirements of the preliminary approval, but also eliminates the need for a long emergency access drive that would need to be maintained by the homeowners association and bring the street into compliance with code requirement. Doing so will not greatly affect the lot layout or size. In fact it increases the access ability to the lots around the cul-de-sac, by increasing the lot frontage. As for when this connection should be made. The City now feels that with the growth and the development in the area it is now time to make that connection. The preliminary was approved in late 1996, almost 4 years ago. It is felt that by the time this development is built the connection will be needed. The connection also provides for the interconnectivity that is desired between neighborhoods.

Remove the topography lines from this Final Site & Landscape Plan. b. Why are there very few trees proposed for any of the open space tracts? Except for an existing Cottonwood and 3 trees behind Lot 10, these areas separating the blocks are devoid of trees. More are recommended. This is a repeat comment. C. It would be helpful if the phase lines were made darker so that they would be easier to see and follow. This is a repeat comment. d. This project is too small to have 7 phases. No more than 3 will be allowed. e. Landscaping — Assurances Note #1 needs to state "valuation of the landscape installation and material...", NOT just landscape material. f. Street trees indicated in Landscaping — Assurances Note #2 must be covered under specific phases and escrowed, bonded, or letter of credit received in each of those phases. This is already stated and covered in Landscaping — Assurances Note #1. Note #2 should be deleted, especially since it is unenforceable by the City.

Kim Kreimeyer, the City's Natural Resources Planner, offered the following comments: a. Due! to the invasive nature of Smooth Brome, the City Natural Resources Department is encouraging the use of re -green, which is a sterile annual grass. Please change Plant Note #4 on the Site & Landscape Plan to include re -green and Western Wheatgrass — eliminating Smooth Brome and Crested Wheatgrass. b. Show any existing wetlands on utility plan sheet 18 where the extension of Town Center Way is proposed. Please contact Kim, at 221-6641, if you have questions about these comments. The comments and concerns were expressed at the weekly staff review meeting of March 15, 2000: Engineering (Sheri Wamhoff) 3. The applicant has not yet provided the necessary off -site easements and street right-of-way documentation. 4. Hearthfire Drive should be connected as a permanent street to County Road 13. This item was to have been discussed at the City's Transportation meeting on March 16" 5. Hearthfire Drive is longer than 660' and, therefore, a secondary point of access (emergency or permanent) must be provided for this cul-de-sac. 6. There is concern about Town Center Way. This area is not very developable because there are wetlands here. It could/should be more of a "driveway" than a street. The 'V\/ater Supply & Storage Ditch Company should be involved in this. Stormwater (Basil Hamdan 7. An easement is needed for the swale for the storm water transition from street flows from County Road 13 to Richards Lake. This is needed before the item can go to public hearing. 8. An overtopping elevation next to Lots 32 & 33 is needed. 9. Are there wetlands on Lots 27 — 32? What impacts are associated with this? There could be restrictions that would have to be imposed on these lots. 10. The capacity of the storm water swale along the west side of the property needs to be checked. 11. The utility plans are not yet sufficient for final approval. This development proposal is not ready to be scheduled for public hearing. Natural Resources (Kim Kreimeyer) 12. She needs to do a check between the previous and current Wetlands Mitigation Plan. Transportation Planning (Kathleen Reavis) 13. Why has the proposed bicycle/pedestrian path between Bateleur Court and County Road 13 been narrowed from 6' to 5'? It must be a minimum of 6' wide. Planning 14. Please be aware of the 90 day revision resubmittal requirement (see paragraph below) to keep this project proposal in the City's development review process. 15. A permanent street connection from either Bateleur Court or Hearthfire Drive to County Road 13 should be provided. The current plans show a 51' right-of-way for a future street from Bateleur Court to the county road. The City and the applicant should determine now if the street connection is necessary and, if so, the street should be constructed now with the Second Filing. Trying to complete the street connection in the future, after residents are in place, could be very difficult. 16. Other comments are on a red -lined Site & Landscape Plan that is being forwarded to the applicant. Traffic Operations (Ward Stanford) 17. County Road 13 needs to be improved with this development and a permanent vehicle connection should be made from the county road into the development. This completes the review comments at this time. Additional comments will be forthcoming as the various departments and reviewing agencies finish their review. I am out of the office from 3/22/00 to 3/30/00. Please contact Sheri Wamhoff (at 221-6750) in my absence if you have questions about the comments. Staff has determined that the project is not yet ready to go to the Planning and Zoning Board for a decision due to outstanding issues. Another round of review is necessary. Under the development review process and schedule there is a 90 day plan revision submittal time -frame mandated by the City. The 90 day turnaround period begins on the date of this comment letter prepared by the project planner in the Current Planning Department (in this case, 3/21/00). Upon receipt, the revisions will be routed to the appropriate City departments and outside reviewing agencies, with their comments due to the project planner no later than the third weekly staff review meeting (Wednesday mornings) following receipt of the revisions. When it is ready to go to the Board a date will be scheduled for a public hearing, which would be held on the first or third Thursday of each month. Please return all drawings red -lined by City staff with submission of all revisions you make. You may contact me at 221-6341 if you have questions about these comments or would like to schedule a meeting to discuss them.

This response will address several utility plan and final plat review comments, as well as written comments noted on your "Revision Comment Shect' dated March 27, 2000. This response letter will generally follow the format of your written review comments. Please note that a separate response letter has been provided by PineCrest Planning and Design that addresses other comments included in the Planning summary letter from Steve Olt to PineCrest Planning and Design, LLC dated March 21, 2000. We will reference those responses occasionally and have attached a copy of that letter for your immediate reference. A separate response letter addressing the comments from the Stormwater Utility is also included in this submittal package. COMMENTS (General) • We understand that all offsite easements and rights -of -way are needed prior to scheduling of this project for a final hearing. We also now understand that Hearthfire Way right-of-way dedication will not occur with the Annexation plat. The right-of-way dedication for Hearthfire Way is occurring concurrently with the annexation process. Attached is a copy of the right-of-way dedication document that was prepared by March & Myatt, P_C for the Ilearthfire Way right-of-way dedication- You may want to confer with Dave Stringer regarding the dedication process status to date. Also attached are copies of the following right-of-way and easement dedication exhibits: • The North County Road 13 right-of-way dedication exhibit • The North County Road 13 easement dedication exhibit • The emergency, pedestrian and Whiting Petroleum access easement on Filing I property • The drainage easement to Richards Lake • Bateleur Court has been re -named to Bateleur Lane. • Reference to a chain has been removed from all bollard locations. 4836 S.

Collins, Colorado • Water services have been revised to accommodate the proposed electric facility plat that was provided by City of Fort Collins Light and Power. • 'rile North County Road 13 offsite easement and right of way documentation is included. This is for the Fight -of -way and easement required from the North boundary of Hearthfire P.U_D., Second Filing to Douglas Road. • A through connection from the subdivision to North County Road 13 via Bateleur Lane (previously Bateleur Court) has been provided. This has been done under the following conditions. The extended street intersects North County Road 13 at a 90' angle. The centerline radius of the extended road is 225 feet. This is less than the required radius of 240 feet. We understand that a letter requesting a variance from this city standard is required. A variance request letter is attached with this re -submittal. • After discussions with representatives of Water Supply and Storage, City of Fort Collins and the developer, it was decided to design Town Center Way but not build it at this time. A temporary access drive will be provided so that the Water Supply and Storage will have access to their property for maintenance and other purposes. COMMENT SHEET RESPONSE (PLAT) • We have attempted to clarify maintenance responsibilities for those portions of all tracts for which Whiting Petroleum Corporation will have easements and are responsible for maintenance. Where Whiting Petroleum Corporation easements are identified graphically, the labeling has been expanded to include "to be maintained by Whiting Petroleum Corporation". The Plat Note concerning the same issue has been revised as follows: The Hume Owners Association shall own all 7RAC7S and assume fall responsibility of the mcrirnenance of all 7RAC7S, except those areas, which are de.signaied as Whiimrg Petroleum Corporation easements. All Whiling Petroleum Corporation easements are to be maintained ny Whiting Peiroleum ('orporatiun. This note has been revised on both plat sheets. If you would prefer other wording, let us know and we will gladly accommodate. • The plat has been revised to identify the location where the name split occurs for Town Center Drive and Buntwing Lane. The name split occurs at the intersection of Town Center Wav and Town Center Drive and Buntwing Lane. Additional comments noted on the redlined plat have been accommodated. PAGE 3 June 19, 2000 Project No: 1552-02-97 Re: Hearthfire P.U.D., Second Filing; Ft. Collins, Colorado COMMENT SHEET RESPONSE (UTILITY PLANS) I _ Bollards have been provided at the end of Hearthfire Drive and at the intersection of the open space and North County Road 13. Three bollards are shown according to your redlines. Reference to a chain has been removed from all bollard locations. 2. The westernmost Bateleur Lane (previously Bateleur Court) cul-de-sac has been removed. Bateleur Lane has been extended to North County Road 13 as directed. 3. Eight foot (8') wide midblock access ramps have been provided at the intersection of Buntwing Lane and the emergency, pedestrian and Whiting Petroleum access. An eight - foot (8') wide midblock access ramp has also been provided at the intersection of North County Road 13 and the emergency, pedestrian and Whiting Petroleum access. The crosswalk on Buntwing Lane at the emergency, pedestrian and Whiting Petroleum access is noted to be a painted crosswalk_ We believe that all Whiting easement on First Filing property have been dedicated. We will provide actual dedication documentation when available. 4. Drive cuts on Hearthfire Way have been removed at the Whiting Petroleum access points. 5. Please refer to page 3 of the PineCrest Planning and Design, LLC response letter. Town Center Drive will not be constructed at this time. Right -of -Way will be dedicated. All Town Center Drive curb, gutter and detached walk are carried through the proposed intersection. The Town Center Way street plan and profile remains in the plan set. The plan is labeled "for future construction" and "for reference only". 6. The street typical section for North County Road 13 has been revised to reflect a twenty- eight foot (28°) paved area. The plan views have been modified also. 7. Intersection details have been checked and revised as necessary. There are no low spots in the street. 8. All intersection transition lengths are noted. Please note that transition locations are noted in all profiles where typical sections start and where typical sections end. 9. The existing grade of the curb and gutter flowline at the end of Town Center Drive, where the Second Filing portion of Town Center Drive ties in, is clearly noted in the profile.

Please refer to page 3 of the PineCrest Planning and Design, LLC response letter. The temporary turnaround at the end of Town Center Way has been removed. Town Center Way is intended to serve the Water Supply and Storage property. We have calculated the K values for the vertical curves at the intersection of Town Center Drive and Town Center Way and found that they were less than 30 as you noted. However, we have not changed the design at this time since the road will not be built at this time and since the curves are so close to an intersection where the cars will be coming to a stop at the stop sign. if you insist, we will change the design prior to construction of Town Center Drive. 1 I _ The cul-de-sac has been removed from the west end of Bateleur Lane (previously Bateleur Court) and the connection has been made to North County Road 13. Not all design standards are met. We understand that a letter requesting a variance from this city standard is required. A variance request letter is attached with this re -submittal. 12_ Vertical curves have been provided on Hearthfire Drive where the grade break exceeded 0.40%.

(As well as the red]ined prints from your last set of referral comments.) Note: also attached is one (1) copy of the engineering response letter from Shear Engineering Corporation. This is a response to the most recent review comments concerning the Final Site and Landscape Plan, Final Utility Plans and Final Plat for the Hearthfire P.U.D., Second Filing. This response will address some of the comments from the Zoning Department, Natural Resources Planning Department, Engineering, Stormwater Utility, Transportation Planning, Current Planning, Traffic Operations, Poudre Fire Authority, and LETA and noted in your letter and the Project Comment Sheets dated March 21, 2000. Shear Engineering Corporation has written separate letters to Engineering and Stormwater to address their specific comments as well as the engineering and plat related comments from the other departments. Copies of those letters are included in this resubmittal. l . Zoning Department a. Remove the topography lines from this Final Site & Landscape Plan. - Although we have had many comments regarding both the adding and deleting of the existing and proposed topo from this plan and that the LDGS code required the topo on the Site Plan, we have removed it from the drawing. b. Why are there veryfew trees proposed for any of the open space tracts? ... - Additional trees have been added. c. It would be helpful if the phase lines were made darker... - The phase lines have been made darker. d. The project is too small to have 7 phases. No more than 3 will be allowed. - The phases have been reduced to three. e. Landscaping - Assurances Note #1 needs to state 'valuation of the landscape installation and material... " NOT just landscape material. - This note has been revised. P1ANNi"g & Design LLC 4225 Westshore Way Fort Collins, CO 80525 (970) 226-1655 • (970) 226-1635 fax f.

This is already stated and covered in Landscaping - Assurances Note #L Note 92 should be deleted... - Note # 2 has been deleted. 2. Natural Resources Planning Department a. Due to the invasive nature of Smooth Brome, the City Natural Resources Department is encouraging the use of re -green, which is a sterile annual grass. Please change Plant note #4 on the Site & Landscape Plan to include re -green and Western Wheatgrass - eliminating Smooth Brome and Crested Wheatgrass. - This note has been revised. b. Show any existing wetlands on utility plan sheet 18 where the extension of Town Center Way is proposed. - After meeting with members of the City staff on site on May, 19'h, it was determined that Town Center Way may or may not be extended too much further south of the Hearthfire property boundaries in the future. If and when the property to the south develops, the current owners, The Water Supply and Storage Company will be required to provide wetlands and environmental studies to determine the limits and setback requirements from and natural features and wetlands. Therefore, because future development of the parcel is uncertain at this time, we would request that additional wetlands delineation studies not be required until such time as the property to the south submits for development review at which time the owners of that property will be required to provide the required information. 3. Engineering Department a. The applicant has not yet provided the necessary off -site easements and street right-of-way documentation. - We have meet on several occasions with The Water Supply and Storage Company regarding the required off -site drainage easements and their attorney is preparing an agreement between the developer and Water Supply for the required drainage easement. Once both parties sign the easement, it will be forwarded on to the City for recording. - Additional street right-of-way dedication is required north of the property on the east side of County Road 13, (three feet in width from the property north to the Douglas Road ROW). After discussions with Sheri Wamhoff, it was determined that this additional ROW should be dedicated to the County because this portion of County Road 13 will remain in the County. Janelle Kechter of March and Liley has been working with the Larimer County Engineering Department to prepare the required dedication documents. Once these are completed and signed by the owners, copies will be forward on to the City staff. b. Hearthfrre Drive should be connected as a permanent street to County Road 13... We discussed this item in a meeting with City staff on May I Vat it was determined that Bateleur Court (now renamed to Bateleur Lane) would be extended to CR 13 to make the requested connection. Also, as discussed with Sheri, do to the layout of Bateleur Lane and the close proximity to the 90 degree turn in CR 13, we could not meet the required minimum tangent length of 100' at the intersection of CR 13 or the minimum centerline radius of 240' for the curve to the east of CR 13 and therefore are 00 ch L0 o CC) CO 0 o m o CD ¢ CD o b 0 • X z LL z ¢ W W J m w O > N ¢ m 0 z W Q 'a r z w wz CS = N 0 r- N N Uj a z w W z U z J w UJ 0 C) F cr 0 a m z ` a 5 F LLI al r= U r � LL a Q ~ MEMORADNUM TO: Bill Yunker, Richards Lake Development Co. Tom Dugan, Jim Sell Design Fort Collins Planning Department FROM: Matt Delich DATE: January 3, 1997 F SUBJECT: Hearthfire PUD - Response to staff comments (File: 9643MEM5) Staff requested an evaluation of the turn lane requirements at the Douglas/Hearthfire intersection. Since this intersection will remain within the administrative control of Larimer County, it is appropriate that Larimer County Access Policy criteria be used to evaluate the need for turn lanes on Douglas Road at the Hearthfire access. The Larimer County Access Policy uses the graphs provided in the State Highway Access Code. The approach volumes to be considered at the subject intersection are the average of the morning and afternoon peak hour traffic forecasts. In the short range future, an eastbound right -turn deceleration lane is required at the Douglas/Hearthfire intersection. This is stated on page 4 of the "Hearthfire PUD Site Access Study," July 1996. It is restated in the conclusions on page 5, along with the dimensions of this auxiliary lane. The operations analysis (Table 3) indicates that the Hearthfire Access Road has both a northbound right - turn lane and a northbound left -turn lane. These movements will operate at level of service A. If these lanes were combined, they would still operate at level of service A. Therefore, it is a judgment call whether separate turn lanes are required. If there is right-of-way available, then the separate lanes can be implemented, but if there are constraints, then they should not be implemented. Based upon the traffic forecasts, delays to the northbound traffic exiting the site will be less than 5 seconds per approach vehicle. No other turn lanes are required at this intersection in the short range future. Using the long range traffic forecasts shown in Figure 10 of the cited report, no additional road improvements are necessary at the Douglas/Hearthfire intersection. The need for a westbound left -turn lane is on the threshold of being warranted at the posted 45 mph speed. Since this is a twenty year forecast and the posted speed on Douglas Road could be reduced, a left -turn lane was not recommended. At 40 mph, a westbound left -turn lane would clearly not be warranted. As development occurs in this area, traffic should be monitored. requesting a variance for those two standards. A copy of the variance request letter is included in this resubmittal. c. Hearthfire Drive is longer than 660' and, therefore, a secondary point of access (emergency or permanent) must be provided for this cul-de-sac. - On May 8'h, Brian Shear and myself met with Ron Gonzales of the Poudre Fire Authority to discuss an emergency access point at the end of this cul-de- sac. Ron stated that the emergency access would be acceptable as long as the roadway was made of road base and that a 2" cover of crushed limestone (so it would match the pedestrian traits) was installed over the road base. d. There is concern about Town Center Way. This area is not very developable because there are wetlands here. It could/should be more of a "driveway" than a street. The Water Supply & Storage Ditch Company should be involved in this. As stated above, after meeting with members of the City staff on site on May, I9`h, it was determined that Town Center Way may or may not be extended too much further south of the Hearthfire property boundaries in the future. If and when the property to the south develops, the current owners, The Water Supply and Storage Company will need to prepare development and utility plans to show how this area could be developed. Therefore, as discussed in the meeting and agreed to by Water Supply, the developer would like to dedicate the required ROW to the City for Town Center Way at this time and install and stub out any required utilities to the south property line as development of this 2nd filing occurs. When the development agreement is prepared by the City, we would request the actual construction of the walks, curb, gutter and paving not be required at this time, but that a escrow be established for future construction of the road if development occurs in the future. Also, Water Supply has requested that a note be placed on the Final Plat for lots 25 and 26 that states "Town Center Way is a dedicated public street right-of-way and construction of this street may occur at any time in the future." This note has been added to both the Site & Landscape Plan as well as the Final Plat. Also, Water Supply has requested that a fence be install along the right-of-way adjacent to lots 25 and 26. A note has been added to the Site and Landscape Plan that states: "A two -rail, white vinyl fence shall be installed along the property lines of Lots 25 and 26 adjacent to Town Center Way at the time these lots are developed." e. Need to show bollards at both ends of the emergency access drive for Hearthfire Drive. Indicating chains - This can be dangerous for bikes and peds who may use this as a connection to CR 13. - The bollards have been added to both ends and the chains have been eliminated. Also, the drive cut from CR 13 to the Whiting Petroleum access easement has been changed to a pedestrian ramp. f. Red lined Site and Landscape Plan - The existing 20' crushed limestone trail has been redrawn to the correct size of 20'. - The chain at the end of this 20 trail where it meets Buntwing Lane and also at the emergency access from CR 13 to Hearthfire Drive has been removed. - The drive cut at this 20 trail at CR 13 has been changed to a ped ramp. Note: See additional attached comments from Shear Engineering Corp. 4. Stormwater Utility 3 a. An easement is needed for the Swale for the storm water transition from street flows from County Road 13 to Richards Lake. This is needed before the item can go to public hearing. - We have meet on several occasions with The Water Supply and Storage Company regarding the required off -site drainage easements and their attorney is preparing an agreement between the developer and Water Supply for the required drainage easement. Once both parties sign the easement, it will be forwarded on to the City for recording. b. Are there wetlands on Lots 27-32? What impacts are associates with this? There could be restrictions that would have to be imposed on these lots. - Sheet 2 of 2 of the Site and Landscape Plan shows a total of .15 acres of wetland area is within these lots. As part of the wetland mitigation plan for the entire project, both filings 1 & 2, new wetlands were created within the first filing to compensate for the wetlands within these lots. Note: See additional attached comments from Shear Engineering Corp. 5. Natural Resources a. She needs to do a check between the previous and current Wetlands Mitigation Plan. - Sheet 2 of 2 of the Site and Landscape Plan shows the wetland mitigation for both filings. It should match the previous plan submitted with the 1" Filing. 6. Transportation Planning a. Why has the proposed bicycle/pedestrian path between Bateleur Court and County Road 13 been narrowed from 6'to 5? It must be a minimum of 6' wide. - This path has been eliminated with the extension of Bateleur Lane out to CR 13. 7. Planning a. A permanent street connection from either Bateleur Court or Hearthfire Drive to County Road 13 should be provided... - This connection has been made. b. Red -Lined Site and Landscape Plan - The existing 20' crushed limestone trail has been redrawn to the correct size of 20'. - The drive cut at this 20 trail at CR 13 has been changed to a ped ramp. - On May 8th, Brain Shear and myself met with Ron Gonzales of the Poudre Fire Authority to discuss an emergency access point at the end of this cul-de- sac. Ron stated that the emergency access would be acceptable as long as the roadway was made of road base and that a 2" cover of crushed limestone (so it would match the pedestrian trails) was installed over the road base. This note has been revised on the Site and Landscape Plan. - Plant Note 94 has been revised to include re -green Western Wheatgrass and eliminated Smooth Brome and Crested Wheatgrass. - The 5' path to CR 13 has been eliminated with the extension of Bateleur Lane out to CR 13. 8. Traffic Operations a. County Road 13 needs to be improved with this development and a permanent vehicle connection should be made from the county road into the development. - County Road 13 will be improved as part of the development as show on the Final Utility Plans as prepared by Shear Engineering Corp.

Expand the Wetlands Mitigation Map — Contextual Plan to include the property adjacent to and west of Town Center Way. b. Natural Resources wants to review potential impacts to off -site wetlands. Please contact Kim, at 221-6641, if you have questions about these comments. 2. Michael Chang of the Poudre Fire Authority offered the following comments: a. WATER SUPPLY: Fire hydrants are required at a maximum spacing of 660' along an approved roadway. Each hydrant must be capable of delivering 1,500 gallons of water per minute at a residual pressure of 20 pounds per square inch. No commercial building can be greater than 300' from a fire hydrant. b. ADDRESS NUMERALS: Address numerals shall be visible from the street fronting the property and posted with a minimum of 6" high numerals on a contrasting background (example: bronze numerals on brown brick are not acceptable).

Have bicycle lanes been provided along this Collector level road? C. It appears that previous comments have been addressed. The pedestrian/bicycle trail connections along County Road 13 look good. The small scale plan makes it difficult to review the internal pedestrian system. d. The combined Site & Landscape Plan at such a small scale is very difficult to read and review. Please contact Mark, at 416-2029, if you have questions about these comments. 4. The Technical Services Department (Mapping & Drafting) offered the following comments: a. This subdivision plat must show the Recording information for Hearthfire Way and Hearthfire Drive. b.

The applicant has not yet provided the necessary off -site easements and street right-of-way documentation. This includes right-of-way for County Road 13 and an easement from Water Supply & Storage. The documentation must be submitted and reviewed by City staff before this request can go to public hearing. 8 The plans for Douglas Road improvements need to be approved before the City can sign off on the Hearthfire PUD, Second Filing plans. 9. There is concern about Town Center Way. This area is not very developable because there probably are wetlands here. It could/should be more of a "driveway" than a street. The Water Supply & Storage Ditch Company must be involved in this. Stormwater (Basil Hamdan 10. The overflow from the ponds in the Hearthfire PUD, First Filing could affect the Hearthfire PUD, Second Filing. Until this issue is resolved staff will not schedule this item for public hearing. 11. The necessary off -site easements still have not been submitted. The documentation must be submitted and reviewed by City staff before this request can go to public hearing. 12. The capacity of the storm water swale along the west side of the property, along County Road 13, needs to be checked. The plans show that the roadside swale is to be filled. 13. There are still some off -site easements/agreements from the Water Supply & Storage Company that must be submitted to the City. Natural Resources (Kim Kreimeyer) 14. A conceptual diagram showing the off -site wetlands is needed to evaluate the potential impacts to that area. Transportation PI inning (Kathleen Reavis/Mark Jackson) 15.

There may be some sight distance concerns associated with the Bateleur Lane & county road 13 intersection. 19. It appears that the "interim" roadway section for County Road 13 will not contain bicycle facilities. Planning 20. Please be aware of the 90 day revision resubmittal requirement (see second paragraph below) to keep this project proposal in the City's development review process. 21. Other comments are on a red -lined Site & Landscape Plan that is being forwarded to the applicant. This completes the review comments at this time. Additional comments will be forthcoming as the various departments and reviewing agencies finish their review. Staff has determined that the project is not yet ready to go to the Planning and Zoning Board for a decision due to outstanding issues and/or off -site easements. Another round of review is necessary. Under the development review process and schedule there is a 90 day plan revision submittal time -frame mandated by the City. The 90 day turnaround period begins on the date of this comment letter prepared by the project planner in the Current Planning Department (in this case, 7121/00). Upon receipt, the revisions will be routed to the appropriate City departments and outside reviewing agencies, with their comments due to the project planner no later than the third weekly staff review meeting (Wednesday mornings) following receipt of the revisions. When it is ready to go to the Board a date will be scheduled for a public hearing, which would be held on the first or third Thursday of each month. Please return all drawings red -lined by City staff with submission of all revisions you make. You may contact me at 221-6341 if you have questions about these comments or would like to schedule a meeting to discuss them.

(As well as the redlined prints from your last set of referral comments.) Note: also attached is one (I ) copy of the engineering response letter from Shear Engineering Corporation and the Revisions Routing Sheet from Current Planning. This is a response to the most recent review comments concerning the Final Site and Landscape Plan, Final Utility Plans and Final Plat for the Hearthfire P.U.D., Second Filing. This response will address some of the comments from the Natural Resources Planner, Poudre Fire Authority, Transportation Planning, Technical Services Department (Mapping & Drafting), Engineering, Stormwater I4ili y, and Current Planning as noted in your letter and the Project Comment Sheets dated July 21, 2000. Shear Engineering Corporation has written separate letters to Engineering and Stormwater to address their specific comments as well as the engineering and plat related comments from the other departments. Copies of those letters are included in this resubmittal. Natural Resources Planning Department a. Lsxpand the Wetlands Mitigation Map - Contextual Plan to include the propery' adjacent to and west of Town Center Way. - This item has been continually discussed with staff and continues to be a requirement from Natural Resources. Because of this we met with staff on site on May 19's, 2000 to discuss this item and it was agreed that if and when the property to the south developed, the current owners, The Water Supply and Storage Company, would be required to provide wetlands and environmental studies to determine the limits and setback requirements from the natural features and wetlands at that time. Therefore, because future development of the parcel is uncertain at this time, we agreed with staff that additional wetlands delineation studies would not be required until such time as the property to the south submits for development review. At that time the P�ANNINS' & Dcsi5Y1 LLC -1225 We.stshore Way Port Collins. CO 80525 (970) 226-1655 • (970) 226-1635 tax owners of that property will be required to provide the required information. To continue see this comment again is a bit frustrating. We contacted staff again on several occasions to discuss this matter. At the last conversation we were told that the item would be discussed between staff and Mr. Tom Shoemaker. As of this date we have heard no additional response. Due to the required resubmittal date deadline, we have mapped the wetlands areas to the south as requested and have ineluded them on Sheet 2 of 2 of the Final Site and Landscape Plan (contextual plan) for your review. 2. Poudre Fire Authority a. WATER SUPPLY:... This has been addressed in previous comments and the requirements for fire hydrants and minimum delivery and pressures will be met for this residential project. b. ADDRESS NUMERALS:... - Again, this comment has been addressed in previous comments and a note is on the Lighting Legend on the sheet I of the Final Site and Landscape Plan addressing this item. c. C UL-DF.-SAC: A dead-end street cannot exceed 660' in length. The turn -around a+ the end of the street must have an outside turning radius gl'40' or more, and an inside turning radius of 20'. Short fire lanes are permitted to facilitate a .second point of access when a street is greater than 660' in length. All structures hevond the 660' limit must be fire sprinklered if a .second point of access cannot he provided. - Again, this comment was addressed in the last resubmittal of June 190' as follows: On May 8", Brian Shear and myself met with Ron Gonzales of the Poudre Fire Authority to discuss an emergency access point at the end of this cul-de-sac. Ron stated that the emergency access would be acceptable as long as the roadway was made of road base and that a 2" cover of crushed limestone (so it would match the pedestrian traits) was installed over the road base. We believe that this item has been addressed and should not be a continual issue. d. STREET NAXIES. Sneei nines .shall be reviewed and verified bt, L.E.T.A. prior to being put into service. - Again, a repeated comment. We have had L.E.T.A. review street names on numerous occasions. As of this date, all street names on the plat and site and landscape plans have been approved by L.E.T.A. 3. Transportation Planning a. Have .site distance issues been addressed regarding the proximity of Bateleur Lane to the curve at County Road 13 & hiverness Street? A sight distance triangle has been added to the Final Site and Landscape Plan at Bateleur Lane and CR 13. b. What is the agreement for improvements along County Road 137 Have bicycle lanes been provided uloitg L'rs Collector level i oudP - The developer is only required to make interim improvements to CR 13 at this time. These include and are shown on Sheets 13 of 34 and 22 of 34 of the "Final Utility Plans" as prepared by Shear Engineering Corp. These interim improvements include curb, gutter, detached walks and 30' of pavement width, 20' east of the centerline and 10' to the west. The 20' on the east side will
