Prospect Rd., Suite 190 Fort Collins, CO 80525 RE: Harmony Road Horizontal Alignment Dear Dave: Attached you will find an AutoCAD r14 file containing the City's desired horizontal alignment for Harmony Road from Lemay Avenue to I-25. The centerline shown in the drawing is described with bearings and offsets from both the section and quarter corners along the alignment. The drawing is on the City's coordinate base for Harmony Road, therefore you may have to move and rotate the drawing to fit your development plans. You will find that all of the intersection geometries are shown for the major intersections along the alignment. However, they shall be considered accurate only in concept. Existing structures, topography and monuments were not obtained in developing the alignments of the intersecting streets such as Lemay Ave., Timberline Road and County Road No. 9. Therefore, it will be your responsibility to design the proper setbacks for your developments along these roadways as they would relate to the existing conditions keeping the proper geometries in mind as shown the drawing. Also all turning movements and radii should be designed for each intersection layout. The following is a list of the file information as well as layer names that will assist you in manipulating the file. Filename: harmrdcon.dwg Layer names: PR-CL Proposed Centerline PR-EOA Proposed Edge of Asphalt PR -FL Proposed Flowline PR -LANES Proposed Lane Lines PR -ROW Proposed right of way PR-CL-LBL Proposed centerline labels Note: Harmony Road setbacks shall be measured from the proposed future edge of asphalt. If you have any questions please do not hesitate to can me at (970)221-6605. Sincerely, Keith Meyer, P.E. Civil Engineer 281 North College ,Avenue • P.O.

Now may be the time to push for a "trade" between the City/CDOT - for CR32 being the state hwy and Harmony becoming a local roadway. 2) Work that we're trying to start on revising the access control plan - I should have a draft RFP out to you all by today or Monday. 3) When/if the speed limits change on Harmony - how will this impact the needs for design? Who will make this call - the City or CDOT? 4) Need to better define where current and future bus stop locations need to be in regards to bus pull outs and pedestrian access. 5) Major reconstruction is needed along Harmony east of Cambridge to CR7 due to sub -standard conditions with existing vertical and horizontal design - this could dramatically impact ROW needs in this area. 6) How will double lefts at several of the intersections along Harmony be accommodated? Need to incorporate through bikelanes at the intersections and provide for as many ped-related improvements as possible (not just at these intersections, but others as well) 7) For the very long range - I think it wouldn't hurt to look at potential sites for a pedestrian overpass along Harmony Road. As an FYI, the new portion of Harmony Road from CR7 to the interchange will include the full six lane cross-section, with bikelanes and sidewalks - so this design should be used to set the alignment of Harmony Road west of CR7. The City has submitted a project to the North Front Range Council (MPO) to find funding for a design project for Harmony - but who knows when or if this project will actually be funded so it may not be able to solve the immediate pressing need for answers but it could help with longer term improvements.

GENERAL COMMENTS FOR UTILITY PLANS AND SITE & LANDSCAPE PLANS: U As stated in the letter sent to you dated August 5, 1998, because the City has not yet determined the datum/centerline along Harmony Road, this Development is proceeding at some risk in the fact that the determination of the datum line may adversely affect the location of buildings, setbacks, and landscaping. Once the datum line has been determined, more formal and accurate comments will be made. J The 3/4 access along Harmony Road has been approved by the State.

Transpor ion Services Engineering Department City of Fort Collins June 29, 1998 Mr. David Klockeman, P.E. JR Engineering, Ltd. 2620 East Prospect Road Fort Collins, CO 80525 Re: Harmony Village Roadway Improvements Dear David: This letter is in response to the meeting City of Fort Collins' staff had with Tess Jones from the Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) Thursday, June 25, 1998. The items that we discussed were the necessary roadway improvements required of this development along Harmony Road and Timberline Road. Please be aware that the items listed below are preliminary concerns based on the conceptual drawings your office submitted for the Harmony Road/Timberline Road intersection. We will make more formal comments once your office officially submits the utility plans for review again. The following is a list of comments and concerns made by City staff: 1. After reviewing the preliminary design of Harmony Road, i.e., the ultimate lane configurations atthe intersection of Harmony Road and Timberline Road, it appears that beginning your improvements from the north edge of the existing median will suffice. 2. The City requires intersection improvements at the intersection of Harmony Road and Timberline Road. Both developments (Harmony Village and PVH) are responsible for these improvements. Therefore, it is the recommendation of City staff that you coordinate your design with The Sear -Brown Group and include the design in the set of utility plans for each development. We would like to see the design of the intersection cover the following area: a. east leg - 1000 feet b. north leg - to Milestone Drive C. west leg - 1000 feet d. south leg - to the main entrance to both projects 3. Please design the medians in both Harmony Road and Timberline Road so that they provide pedestrian refuge for those who wish to cross the street. Account for vehicle turning movements your design. 4. The placement of the proposed bike lanes on Harmony Road will need to comply with the bike lane work currently underway by the City. Please contact Kathleen Reavis regarding the alignment and any other details you might need for your design. 5. At this time, City staff is not in favor of the main entrance to the site. If this street is going to function as a public street, you must design it like a public street. The ^_81 North College Avenue • P.O. B(ox 58) • Fort Collins, CO 80522-U580 • (970) 221-6605 public/private street connection from the Harmony Crossing subdivision needs redesigning. We may want to coordinate a time to where you can sit in on our Transportation Coordination meeting to discuss different design options. 5. Please be aware that the State is currently in the process of adopting a new State Highway Access Code (SHAC). They anticipate they will approve and adopt the new code at the end of August. Once that happens you will need to meet the requirements listed in that document. It looks as though Harmony Road is going to be classified as an NR-B road. For an NR-B > 40 mph, use the following criteria (these figures are subject to change at the time the State adopts the new (SHAG)): a. Both right turn and left turn deceleration lane lengths are 500 feet (including the taper length) b. Acceleration lane length is 760 feet (including the taper length) C. Transition taper ratio is 15:1 7. At the time I wrote this letter, I still had not heard from Tess Jones regarding the west access off Harmony Road. During the Transportation Coordination meeting she expressed that she still was not comfortable with the location. Her intentions were to review the Traffic Impact Study and get back to me by Tuesday, June 30. When I hear her decision, I will contact you. Again, the above comments are currently the main issues City staff recognizes from the conceptual drawings at this time. City staff will make more formal and detailed comments once you submit the utility plans for review. I hope this letter addresses the issues you had and assists in your design. If you need clarification on anything, or have any additional questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me at 221-6605. Tim R. Blandford Engineering Department City of Fort Collins cc: Ted Shepard, Senior City Planner Eric Bracke, Traffic Systems Technician Kathleen Reavis, Transportation Planner II Tess Jones, CDOT Matt Baker, SID Coordinator Transpo. ion Services Engineering Department City of Fort Collins June 12, 1998 Mr. David W. Klockeman 2620 East Prospect Road, Suite 190 Fort Collins, CO 80525 Re: Harmony Village - Harmony Road Alignment Dear David: Thank you for meeting with City staff on Wednesday June 10, 1998 to discuss the Harmony Road alignment and the proposed lane configuration. As you know there are still a number of issues that need to be resolved before the City can agree on a final design. City staff did discuss your preliminary design at our Transportation Coordination Meeting on Thursday June 11, 1998. City staff would like to offeryou the following comments to helpfacilitate your effort in the design of Harmony Road: 1. Please provide City staff with the existing lane configurations as well as the ultimate lane configurations for 1000 feet beyond the construction limits. This will need to be prepared for both Harmony Road and Timberline Road. 2. The design of Harmony Road will need to be in conformance with the Harmony Road Bicycle Plan and the design that is currently underway. 3. You will need to be in contact with BHA Designs, who is designing the Poudre Valley Hospital site, to coordinate both designs so that they will work with each other. 4. Kathleen Reavis does want the bike lanes along Harmony Road to be along the edge of the road. At locations where Harmony Road is intersected with either a collector street or arterial street, the bike lane will shift so as to be between the right turn lane and the through lane. If you have questions or concerns with this arrangement, please contact her at 224-6140. 5. The design of Harmony Road will need to be designed with the median in the ultimate location. 6. You will need to accommodate a transit stop on Harmony Road, east of the private drive access. Please contact Gaylene Rossiter at 221-6195 for the design standards for such bus stops. 7. Since Harmony Road is a State Highway, your design must incorporate the State Access Code requirements for taper lengths, storage lengths, lane lengths, variance requests, etc. 8. It should be noted that with this project, the A -line will need to be amended. This is done by the Developer, who deals directly with CDOT. 9. Any utility work within the Harmony Road ROW will need to be approved through a utility construction permit. The Developer is responsible for acquiring this from CDOT. '�,1 North ('0IIC"C AN CniC • CO. Box 580 • Fort Collins, CO 50522-OnSO • (970) 221-6605 10. State Highway Access Permits will need to be acquired for the two accesses along Harmony Road, the private drive and Timberline Road, prior to any construction within the ROW. It is currently being negotiated with the CDOT on whether the City processes the applications or the State. More information will be provided at a future date. The above comments are preliminary at this time. There will be additional comments from both City and State staff once utility plans are submitted for review. If you should have any questions or concerns regarding this matter, please do not hesitate to contact this office at 221-6605. Sincer_ Tim R.
