Collins, CO 80525 970472-8954 Staff has reviewed your submittal for HARMONY SCHOOL SHOPS PRELIMINARY DESIGN REVIEW, and we offer the following comments: ISSUES: Department: Advance Planning Issue Contact: Clark Mapes Topic: Transportation Planning Number: 16 Created: 12/19/2006 (12/19/06] There is little synergy between the buildings. They are separated about as far as possible from each other. I would like to discuss this at the meeting. On the layout as shown, the neighborhood connection should be given special attention with special sidewalks, and crosswalks, and the walkway along the west side of the building. Every effort has been made to address this comment in a thoughtful and beneficial design solution. The two separate pads are now only separated from the main building by a drive at each end of that main building. On the west, a large public plaza and gathering space will now make the small 2000 square foot building seem a part of the main building. East to west traffic flow has been disconnected at the southwest corner of the main building in order to facilitate this providing a very wide, landscaped plaza area. The 6000 square foot building at the east end is now only 65' from the main building with a walk connecting to another smaller public plaza and gathering space at that corner of the main building. The neighborhood connection to the north is being facilitates by an extra wide walk on the south side of the entry drive. This walk enters a large landscape island with a 10x10' gazebo and then crosses the drive to the main building. This amenity will help add height to the parking lot, provide a nice structure to help separate the main building from the street and neighborhood and become the secondary focal point after the main public plaza. Providing a walk on the north side of the entry drive became unfeasible with the detention pond, entry sign and planting beds. Also, we feared that providing access on the north might cause the gazebo to become too far removed for daily use. The west side of the building has been dressed up considerably from the first architectural elevations and footprint that were shown during the PDR. With columns, building articulation, multiple roof planes, large expanses of tinted glass and landscape beds separating the drive from the pedestrian walk, we have provided a nice urban environment for neighbors to enter the project and have made it easily adaptable to future uses should the need arise to split this building into multiple tenants. Department: Engineering Issue Contact: Marc Virata Topic: Engineering Number: 5 Created: 12/19/2006 [12/19/061 The area shown on the site plan comprises of at least two different plats, Harmony School Shops 4th and Harmony School Shops 5th Filing. A third plat may also be Page 1 involved for the 2,000 sq. ft. building shown towards the southwest corner of the site that appears to straddle a property boundary. Is it intended that a replat will occur to bring about the site plan under one plat and rectify existing easement delineations that may no longer be applicable with this revised design? Since the land area still appears to be area comprised of the 4th Filing, any replat that occurs we would prefer having a note added reflecting that the development agreement for the 4th Filing should apply to this project. Completed by JR Engineering Number: 6 Created: 12/19/2006 [12/19/061 An update to the T.I.S. for Harmony School Shops 4th Filing will likely be needed with this project. Contact Eric Bracke, City Traffic Engineer for verification. With less traffic being generated by less intensive uses, less square footage of leasable building and less tenants, the approved 4'" Filing T.I. S. should still be valid per Ted Shepard. Number: 7 Created: 12/19/2006 (12/19/061 As the project is a departure from the design the previous 4th Filing, the construction drawings will need to be updated. We will need to work through with your consulting engineer how the changes will be documented, either by revisions to the 4th Filing plan set, a new plan set submittal, or both. Completed by JR Engineering Number: 8 Created: 12/19/2006 [12/19/061 The site plan seems a little unclear as to whether certain improvements (such as sidewalk along Harmony Road and the Walgreen's site) are existing or to be redone with this project. Completed with prior Phases of development, not with this Major Amendment.

Add the same note regarding street repair limits shown on the utility plan to the demo plan. Number: 24 Created: 3/21/2007 (3/21/071 Please show design information from the approved Pads at Harmony site as verification that the proposed development aligns with the Pads at Harmony design. Number: 25 Created: 3/21/2007 [3121/07] The original 4th Filing plans had an access ramp proposed shown on the north side of Milestone. This plan set shows the ramp in its old location which doesn't align with the new driveway location. Please revise this access ramp location and show an access ramp at the driveway crossing Milestone to line up. Topic: General Number: 14 Created: 3/20/2007 [3120/071 The site plan has the project titled "Major Amendment for Harmony School Shops 6th Filing", I believe this is technically incorrect as the 4th Filing is being amended via a major amendment. The title implies that the 6th Filing is being amended. I believe the title "Harmony School Shops 6th Filing" is appropriate, but a major amendment actually refers to the 4th Filing. .3 3 Date CHECK HERE IF YOU WISH TO RECEIVE COPIES OF REVISIONS Plat ✓ Site Drainage Report Other Utility Redline Utility Landscape Page 1 Number: 15 Created: 3/21/2007 [3/21/071 As was the case with the 5th Filing, I believe a development agreement specific to this 6th Filing project isn't necessary, provided a note on the plat for this project is in place specifying that all conditions of the 4th Filing DA will apply to this project. Number: 23 Created: 3/21/2007 [3/21/071 There needs to be a sidewalk connection to connect to the Pads at Harmony project. Topic: Plat Number: 20 Created: 3/21/2007 [3/22/071 The previous comment below was clarified after staff review. A letter of intent is not needed and the comment is no longer applicable. The note on the plat though should perhaps be tweaked to potentially avoid confusion in the future. [3/21/07] The plat shows an irrigation easement and notes that its depiction may be in conflict with the legal description. As it potentially does not represent the dedication, I believe the owner of the easement needs to sign the plat. In addition, as the plat seems to be realigning/rededicating the easement, again the owner should sign. The statement of dedication will need to be modified in some manner to reflect that the irrigation easement is not being dedicated to the City. Number: 21 Created: 3/21/2007 [3/21/07] It appears that additional emergency access easements are needed to coincide with Sheet 1 of the site plan depicting fire turning radii - presumably PFA needs these areas as firelanes with emergency access easements on the plat. Number: 35 Created: 3/23/2007 [3/23/071 Technical Services offers the following comments: 1. Boundary closes. 2. Subtitle of plat should include "Replat of ... " 3. How does Lot 8 HSS 4th get utility service? 5. Minor line over text issues. Page 2
