We are anticipating small motorscooters, such as is owned by students, rather than full size motorcycles. We request to try this the way it is drawn, and if we find a conflict, we will agree to change it. 9. We have labeled the long term parking spaces. 10/11. We request that the requirement for a 5' landscape strip along the north property line be waived. This area abuts the adjacent zero property line building, and furthermore, it is mostly under the second floor of our building. Nothing could possibly grow here, and with a blank wall of the neighbor's building abutting our under -building parking area, we see no practical or aesthetic reason to provide the required parking separation at this location.

Apply through Lance Newlin, Chief Inspector, 221-6605. 41 Contact Ron Gonzales with PFA regarding the emergency access requirements for the rear alley. Section 3.6.6.D.3 states that the minimum unobstructed width shall be thirty (30) feet for access roads serving buildings three (3) stories or more in height on at least one (1) side of the building. The building height shall be measured from the access road grade. PFA will not serve any building from an arterial road thus eliminating College Avenue as the alternate access road. Does the rear alley meet the minimum 30' width requirement? 42 The TIS numbers do not add up. Your summary states that 50% of the traffic accesses the property from the north, 10% from College, and 20% from the east and south. Where is the other 20%? 43 This project must now design and construct the alley to meet current street standards and address existing drainage issues. A little bit of history on the alley: The alley was paved for dust control several years ago but was never designed to meet any street standard. The alley was repaved again last year after the utility repairs rather than trying to patch everything. There are drainage problems and that will need to be addressed in the design. 44 Underground existing overhead utilities if any.

Page 3 RESPONSE TO 6.06.02 STAFF PROJECT REVIEW COMMENTS Department: Current Planning 88 Your interpretation of the parking area as a parking garage is correct, in that every parking space is partially or totally covered by the building above. Therefore, no variance for landscape setbacks are required. Department: Engineering Topic: General 13 Checklist is filled out and submitted herewith 17 Requested details are incorporated in the engineering plans dated 070202 21 See sheets C2 and C3 for existing features and interfaces Topic: Landscape Plan 71 All existing and proposed utilities are shown on L1 72 Scale of site drawings is now an engineering scale as requested (1"=10') 73 Coordination with utility plans has been accomplished Topic: Site Plan 74 Engineering scale of 1 "=10' has been used for this resubmittal 75 Utility comments have been coordinated with this site plan Topic: Utility Plans These comments have been addressed by our civil engineer, Mr. Jeff Couch. Copies of his responses are attached hereto. Department: Natural Resources Topic: Construction Drawings 81 Tree protection specifications will be incorporated into the final building permit set of construction drawings as requested. Page 2 Staff Review Response Topic: Existing Trees 28 Per our agreement at a staff meeting on June 28, the Owner will comply with the City of Ft. Collins' tree mitigation policy. Since there is no room on this site for the mitigation trees to be added, we will abide with your reasonable directions as to the location desired. Department: PTA Topic: General 24 A fire hydrant is located within 300 ft at the corner ofE. Laurel and Remington. Utility Department indicates that it can deliver in excess of the minimum requirements. 25 Per our previous agreement, and as shown on sheet A4, 8" address numbers will be prominently displayed on the front of the building. 26 This building will be fully fire sprinklered. A tap into an existing water main in Laurel Street will be made and a line extended down the alley to our south property line. See utility plans. 27 A ventilation system will not be required per UBC. Department: Police Topic: Existing Trees 53 Lighting plan has been added with this resubmittal. The majority of the project is illuminated by recessed can lighting, with some sidewalk lighting provided by wall sconces. We will provide a minimum of l FC at the building entries and 0.5 FC at the outside edge of the sidewalk, At your request, we will add view windows to the extent allowable by code to the stairway doors. The fountain has been eliminated as you suggested. Department: Stormwater Utility Topic: General 39 A grading and drainage plan that meets your requirements is included with our civil drawings. Once again, we stress that we are not changing the existing drainage pattern, nor will we change the elevation of the existing lot grade. Department: Transportation Planning Topic: General 82 Engineering scale of 1"=10' is used. Page 3 Staff Review Response (continued' Transportation Planning) 79 After discussions with Tom Reiff and Randy Hensley, the handicap spaces have been redimensioned per requirements of ADA and the city to 8' and 5'. The ramp has been placed between the two spaces. 83 The handicap spaces have been relocated away from the column. 84 The bike rack has been removed from the area of the fountain. The fountain has been deleted as a result of instituting tree mitigation policies, and at the request of the police department. This area now will be used as special occasion sidewalk sales. The bike rack at the stairs has been redesigned to city standards, providing for Z bicycles with city required space and access around it. The two spaces meet the city's requirement of 5% of the number of parking spaces. Department: Water Wastewater Topic: General 3 Separate services for residential and commercial have always been provided for. See utility and site plans for locations and sizes. General notes are included on landscape plan regarding separations. Department: Water Wastewater Topic: Utility Plans 87 After lengthy discussion with your department, we have agreed to install a new water line to your specifications in the alley from Laurel to our south property line. The initial installation of the street connection will be accomplished prior to the final re -surfacing of Laurel on Aug 15, providing city approval is granted in time to accomplish this goal. 76 Utility details have been incorporated into the utility plans. 77 Site and utility plans have been coordinated with the new civil plans. 78 Abandonments are as described on the utility plans.

Signature Date CHECK HERE IF YOU WISH TO RECEIVE COPIES OF REVISIONS Plat Site Drainage Report Other Utility Redline Utility Landscape Page 1 q2S-1a I CONCEPTUAL REVIEW RESPONSE Zoning Department: C. The parking lot has been redesigned to accommodate two handicap spaces. The overall parking spaces have been reduced to 33 spaces, all full size. D The maximum building height has been reduced to less than 40 feet, thereby reducing the need to conform to Sec_ 3.5.1 2. Engineering Department A_ Street oversizing will not be required per the Traffic Impact Statement provided. B. The alley has recently been repaved. C. A State Highway access permit has been applied for. The existing access point and size are not proposed to change, therefore, it is not expected that this permit will be withheld. D A TIS has been prepared in concert with Mr_ Eric Bracke by a professional eneineer .and is submitted herewith. E The alley access is adequate to serve the level of traffic projected, per the TIS. F_ The project agrees to the 8 ft. alley easement, and the site plan has been laid out to accommodate such. The 15 ft. easement from College Ave. is impossible, as the existine buildings and all the existing adjacent buildings are currently only 7 ft_ from the street ROW. The project does not propose to change from 7 ft. G. No new streets will be constructed, therefore the new street standards are non - applicable. 3. Light and Power Department A. An easement for the required transformer has been granted, and the new transformer has been set. 4. Water/Wastewater Department B. Marketing will prohibit preparation of food that will require a grrease trap in the retail spaces. E. There are, currently 2 water and sewer service lines entering the property, serving the present commercial building and the present residential building. One of each will be abandoned and capped for this project. The remaining will be upgraded and used for the new proposal. 5. Stormwater Utility A. The site 'is impervious now, except for approximately 400 SF of landscaping. This proposal will not increase the imperviousness, but will actually decrease such B. The site is virtually flat and slopes slightly to the east. This proposal intends to maintain the current drainage patterns. A drainage report has been prepared in concert with Mr. Glen Schlueter by a professional engineer and is submitted herewith. Concept Review Response Page 2 6. Poudre Fire Authority A. The Fire Marshall has recommended that substantial improvements be made to the existing buildings to bring them up to safe standards. See attached letter. B. Address numbers will be placed prominently above the entry arch, and will be a minimum of 8" high. A building directory will be placed under the entry arch at a prominent location for ready reference to all tenants. C. The entire building, including the 3 a floor residential level, will be fire sprinkled. D. Our research indicates that adequate water pressure is available in College Ave. Transportation Planning A. Off-streer. parking is provided at the rate of 1.5 spaces per residential unit, although the target market is for students without cars. The overflow parking Provided will serve the retail and office portion, which has no minimum ratio in the CC Zone- B. Both handicapped spaces have been located adjacent to the elevator. Please note that the parking level that was originally proposed to be depressed 4 ft. has now been raised to street/alley level. C&D. A TIS has been prepared by a professional engineer in concert with Mr. Eric Bracke. The required access permit has been applied for at the DOT. The minimal impact of this project negates any concern for safety issues at College and Laurel. 8. Natural Resources Department A. The existing street trees will be protected during construction_ An additional street tree will be added to replace the existing walnut tree on site that will be removed for safety reasons B_ A recycling center has been added to the proposal. C. No grass is proposed. All plantings are native species as per the Ft. Collins Parks and Recreation Landscape Guide. 11. Current Planning A. Bike racks (35) are proposed in excess of the regulations. We propose 1.75 bike racks per efficiency apartment. This is more than 100% of the car parking requirement. Additionally, we have provided for 5 motorcycle parking spaces. fAMProject Comments Sheet ��' Selected Departments Citv of Port Collins Department: Engineering Date: February 14, 2002 Prqiect: VIALE COLEGIO PDP - TYPE 1(LUC) All comments must be received by BOB BARKEEN in Current Planning no later than the staff review meeting: February 06, 2002 Note - Please identify your redlines for future reference Issue Contact: Susan Joy Topic: General 12 Please provide Utility Plans per LCUASS.

Page 2 RESPONSE TO STAFF PROJECT REVIEW COMMENTS Department: Forestry 48. The existing walnut tree appears to be in worse shape than originally diagnosed, and will be removed for safety purposes. The trunk will be incorporated into a sculpture to be placed in the general vicinity of the fountain. 49. Canopy trees cannot be placed along the south property line because the building balconies extend to the property line, creating no pace for trees to grow. 50. The snowdrift crabapple has been change to springsnow. 51. Standard notes have been added per your request. 52. The planting bed at the NW comer is 4" in width, which is adequate for the shrubs planned there, with adequate maintenance procedures. Department: Current Planning 45. The size of the retail area on the first level is 5,536 Sf. This has been placed on the plans. AT&T Digital Cable 46. AT&T has been contacted. Excel Energy 47.

Utility plans are submitted herewith. Proper procedures will be adhered to for permit applications. 13-17 Various details as required are incorporated into the utility plans. A written drainage ireport has been submitted and plans prepared as per discussions with engineering dept. 14. At our meeting on 04-02-02, it was agreed that the easements referenced would not be needed. We have nevertheless provided for an 8' setback from the alley. The College Ave. building line is as it currently exists. 18. fhe 50' setback requirement for parking is being asked for a variance. See attached letter. The first space has been relocated per agreement with Mr. Stringer and Ms. Joy on -site 04-15-02. 19. Parking stalls are in compliance with parking regulations. Long term parking has been designated for clarity. Additional dimensions have been added to the plans. 20. The sight distance from the alley is adequate for the speeds anticipated. Several structures (garages) along the alley are on the property line, and no instances of accidents have been reported. The recycle bins could be eliminated to provide additional clearance if required. 21. The cover sheet shows all existing features within 150' as required. 22. 1 landicap ramp detail is standard City of Ft. Collins detail. Staff Project Review Response Page 2 23. The College Ave. drive cut meets all sight distance requirements. It has been deepened to exceed the 25' perpendicular requirement. It also has been narrowed to 20' as requested and agreed on 04-15-02. 32. The tenant will be required to obtain proper permits when it is determined that patio dining actually will be used as such. 41. We have worked extensively with PVFA regarding alley access and adequate fire protection.. Per our meeting with staff on 04-02-02 it was agreed that the 30' alley requirement would be waived. See attached letter requesting variance for such. 42. The confusion surrounding the TIS numbers is cleared up with the attached letter of explanation from LSC Transportation Consultants. 20% of the traffic comes from BOTH the east and the south 43. The alley does not have to be redesigned and reconstructed per our meeting 04- 02-02. See also attached letter from Streets Department confirming reconstruction. Utilities were undergrounded during the alley reconstruction of 2001. The telephone and cable companies are not interested in undergrounding their remaining lines, nor is there room to do so in the alley. Department: Traffic Operations A complete traffic impact statement was originally provided. We have included another copy for your records. The site plan and context plan were originally submitted. Additional copies are hereby included for your use. Department: PF'A 24. There are 2 fire hydrants within 300 ft of the building on East Laurel. 25. Building address numerals 8" high will be placed on the front entrance of the building. See front (west) elevation. 26. We plan to incorporate a fire sprinkler system into the building design. We will serve our system from the existing water main in College Avenue, and design the system to contain any fire for a period of 3 minutes, as per agreement with the utilities department and PVFA. 27. Ventilation and smoke removal system will not be required on the ground level parking because it is open in excess of the requirements of UBC 97. There is no underground parking. Department: Stormwater Utility 40. Erosion and sediment control are as per the attached engineering plans and letter from drainage engineer David Shupe (attached) as agreed . 39. The existing drainage patterns and flows will not be affected by this project. See attached letter from drainage engineer David Shupe. Staff Project Review Response Page 3 Department: Transportation Planning Topic: General 30. Retail tenant will be notified that deliveries are to be via the alley, under the building. One parking space will be signed "15 minute parking only" to provide a delivery parking area. No large trucks are anticipated to be needed for the type of retail tenant targeted. Topic: Site Plan 31. We do not want to have a bicycle ramp to the bicycle parking for maintenance reasons. We have found that this encourages collisions into the building. By making bike users dismount their bikes prior to locking them into the racks, they are not as destructive. 33. The fountain bike rack is incorporated into the 28" high wall design. Signs will be posted to dismount their bikes upon entering the fountain area. The strategic placement of the racks will necessitate the dismount, thereby resolving any potential conflict. Parking space #1 is being requested to remain as a variance. 34. Per City of Ft. Collins regulations, Sec. 3.2.2 (k) (5) states that handicap stalls shall be 13' in width, with all other dimensions being the same as for standard vehicles. This would indicate that the stall width should be 9' as drawn. Our total width is 13' as required, so if you insist on dimensions of 8' and 5', we can easily accommodate it. 35. We have enlarged the walk width from the parking area to the retail area to 4' minimum to accommodate handicap access. The stairway was taken internal to the retail space. 36. The College Ave. driveway has been reduced to 20' wide. 37. We believe that the driveway texture and appearance should be varied from the sidewalk on either side so as to create a safety "notification" to pedestrians that they are entering a vehicle access area. We therefore request to keep the paving design as presented. 38. Notifications regarding storefront access widths and clearances will be given to tenants as required. Department: Water Wastewater 2-6. See attached utility plans for corrections as requested. 4. The type of restaurant that would require a grease trap will not be allowed as a tenant, so a grease trap will not be required. Department: Zoning 7. We have .agreed with Mr. Stringer that the existing parking stall #1 will be located in the same position as the existing stall. A variance request is being made with this submittal. It has been this way for many years without record of accident. The flountain wall is only 28" high, and will not present a sight hazard.
