allowed. Wheaton Drive has a stormsewer in it so that would be the
best outfall. Oakridge Drive is an option and runoff could be
discharged into the curb and gutter since there is no stormsewer.
e. Water quality extended detention is required to treat the runoff.
f. The applicant's design engineer should refer to the overall Oakridge
drainage report for the detention requirements. In any case, there
would be some detention since rainfall requirements have increased
since the original report and there is the water quality extended
detention requirement, as mentioned above.
Please contact Glen, at (970)224-6065, if you have questions about these
comments.
5. Alan Rutz of the Light & Power Department offered the following

including overlot grading. This is set forth in Section 3.4.1(N)(5) of
the LUC.
C. 'The trash enclosure should be designed to be large enough to provide
for a recycling container.
d. A single trash hauler for this property and adjacent properties
should be used to minimize truck traffic in the area. Please

[11/4/03] Please separate the site and landscape plans from the construction drawing set (and not name them
C-2 and C-6 respectively). These are items that will be filed separate from the construction drawing set. The
construction drawing set should have all remaining sheets assembled together within the plan set (ensure that
the grading plan sheet included within the drainage report is also included in the construction drawing set). The

easement behind the right-of-way as reflected on the 33rd fling. 9' of utility easement behind the right-of-way on
Oakridge Drive is also required to be dedicated. The site plan appears to dimension these items (but not call this out)
correctly but it is not reflected on the plat.
Number: 23 Created: 11/4/2003
[1 1 /4/031 There appears to be a portion of sidewalk along Oakridge Drive approaching Wheaton that is on private
property. It would make sense to dedicate this as right-of-way to provide a continuous property line along Oakridge.

Quantity detention is required for this site in its entirety, not just for the difference
between the old and present rainfall standards. Per the Oakridge B.P. master plan, this
basin (230) requires detention. Detention can be provided in the parking lot of
commercial properties with a maximum 100-year water surface elevation of 1 foot over
the parking lot.
Number: 18 Created: 11 /4/2003
For water quality mitigation, 40-hour extended detention is required. This is one of the
methods presented in the Urban Storm Drainage Criteria Manual out of Denver.

Per the Oakridge B.P. master plan, the basin the site is located in is supposed to drain
to the east and into another storm sewer network than the one proposed. Due to this
site proposing to change drainage patterns, an analysis is required to determine
whether or not the storm sewer network has enough additional capacity for the
proposed release rate of the site.

Stormwater:
This development plan is not providing the required storm water detention. This site needs 5

53 The paver blocks specified are not intended to allow vegetative growth. The
pavers to be used are approximately 6 inches square with the corners cut. This
allows an opening at every corner joint. An 18" sand cushion below the pavers is
to be used. for filtration of stormwater and the only reason incorporated into this
design. These blocks are used extensively in Canada, where freeze thaw
conditions are severe. They are also used frequently in extreme desert conditions
to allow infiltration into water starved soils.
54 The blue spruce along Harmony road have been removed from the plan. The
potentially protrusive trees have been replaced with smaller plantings.
55 A sidewalk connection to the IHOP has been added. Landscape plantings have
been revised accordingly.
56 The drawings have been revised per the red lined drawings. Blue spruce has been
removed from the North side of the Property
58 The shrubbery has been revised for better display.
Topic: Signage
57 The exterior signage has been removed from the building elevations on Sheet A-4
and A-4.1.
Topic: Site Plan
60 The proximity of the West building wall to the Wheaton Drive right of way was
located as shown due to several site limitations.
1. The existing landscape wall at the Northwest corner is only 2.5 feet across
the property line. In order to maintain the integrity of the wall, and not
add additional bearing pressure to the hotel footings, the distance between
these strictures should be kept to a minimum. During construction, some
shoring might be required for the existing wall. The proposed building
location requires minimal amount of shoring.
2. Electrical service lines, Data service lines and telephone service lines will
enter the building at this corner. Installation and maintenance of these
lines would be more challenging if the building were further West.
3. The required water meter vault is to be located on the Hotel side of the
property line. The dimension of the water meter vault is 8 feet. The
distance between the meter vault and the building is 13 feet. Between the
meter vault and the building, a proposed sewer lateral and drainage pipe
are to be installed. Moving the building closer to the property line would
require rerouting of these pipes. The site does not have the required slope
to reroute the drainage pipe.
4. Should the building ever set on fire and collapse, at the proposed setback
from Wheaton Drive, emergency personnel would have a safe distance to
work between the crash zone and oncoming street traffic.
5. A. four-story building looming over the sidewalk might not maintain the
exceptionally aesthetic neighborhood the City of Fort Collins is trying to
create. From a guest's perspective, some separation from they're sleeping
room to the street might be more desirable.
6. The required space for large landscape plantings would not be available if
the building were closer to the street.
7. Some of the first floor guest -room windows would look directly at the
back of the existing wall if the building were closer to the street.

used in the Sand filter basin design and located in the Water Quality Volume
Calculation section of the Stormwater Management & Erosion and Sediment
Control Report.
19 The prorated release rate of 1.2 CFS for this site is proposed to drain into
coneyence element 34, which is a 24-inch RCP. This element directs water to the
drainage channel, conveyance element 22. According to the Overall Master
drainage plan, the current contributing [lows in element 34 is 6 CFS. At the

Department: Current Planning Issue Contact: Steve Olt
Topic: Building Plans
Number: 63 Created: 11/18/2003
[12/22/03] There should be building bays of no more than 30' in width. Also, the 50%
rule for features such as windows, entrances, arcades, arbors, awnings, treillage with
vines details is not being represented.
[11/18/03] The east and west elevations of the building appear to need more detailing
to meet Section 3.5.3(D)(3) of the LUC.
Number: 95 Created: 12/22/2003
[12122103] This building appears to be 52' to 57' in height. Section 3.5.1(G) of the
LUC sets forth the. requirement that all buildings or structures in excess of 40' in
height shall be subject to special review. The review criteria is set forth in Sections
3.5.1(G)(1)(a) Review Standards and (b) Submittal Requirements.
Number:96 Created: 12/22/2003
[12122103] Please review Sections 3.5.3(D)(2), (3) & (4) of the LUC regarding building
Character and Image, specifically Fagade Treatment (all sides), Facades, and
Entrances. The building does not appear to satisfy, as a minimum, the building bay
requirements and the street facing building articulation requirements.

SYSTEMS General Information.
Number: 86 Created: 12/19/2003
[12/19/03] Remove the UTILITY PLAN APPROVAL block from the Landscape Plan. No
signature blocks are needed on this plan.
Number: 87 Created: 12/19/2003
(12/19/03] The street trees along Wheaton Drive must be in the parkway strip
between back of curb and the sidewalk, per Section 3.2.1(D)(2)(a) of the Land Use
Code.
Number: 88 Created: 12/19/2003
[12/19/03] There are a number of existing trees at the northwest corner of this site
that have not been and are not shown on the Landscape Plan.
* 3 Cottonwood - south of existing wall
* 4 Austrian Pine - south of existing wall
* 2 Chokecherry - north of existing wall
A utility plan sheet shows these trees to be removed. After a site visit, City staff
(City Forester and Planning) is of the opinion that several of these trees can be
retained and protected. The western -most Austrian Pine should not be in jeopardy with
the construction of the hotel building. One, and maybe two, of the Cottonwood may e
able to be retained. Please see the colored drawing attached to this comment letter.
The trees that may, be removed will have to be mitigated for, in the form of the
following:
* Cottonwood trees ...... 4 trees per each tree to be removed.
* Austrian Pines ........... 3 trees per each tree to be removed.
* Chokecherry trees ..... 2 trees per each tree to be removed.
There are probably enough new trees on the Landscape Plan to provide mitigation;
however, enough of them must be upsized to provide the required mitigation.
Depending on how many trees are to be removed the number of mitigation trees ranges
from 17 to 28. The mitigation standards are set forth in Section 3.2.1(F)(1) of the LUC
and are as follows:
* Canopy shade trees ..... minimum 3" caliper, balled and burlap
* Ornamental trees ......... minimum 2.5" caliper, balled and burlap
* Evergreen trees ........... minimum 8' height, balled and burlap

[12/22/03] There were 4 Bur Oak trees shown along East Harmony Road, in the 80'
setback area, on the previous Landscape Plan. They are in the Harmony Corridor
Standards & Guidelines Oak Palette and it is unclear as to why they have been removed
from the Landscape Plan.
Number: 98 Created: 12/22/2003
[12/22/03] There are a number of shrubs on the Plant List that do not appear in
either of the plant palettes in the Harmony Corridor Standards & Guidelines. See the
red -lined Landscape Plan reviewed by Current Planning. Please understand that the
plant materials to be used in the "setback zone" along Harmony Road and in the
"setback areas" along local and collector streets are guidelines, not standards. These
palettes are; however, strongly recommended.
Topic: Signage
Number: 57 Created: 11/17/2003
[12/22/03] There is still signage being shown on the West Building Elevation on Sheet
A-4 of the Building Elevations. This signage must be removed from the plan.
[11/17/03] Remove all signage from the Building Elevations. This development is
subject to the City of Fort Collins Sign Code that is administered by the Zoning
Department. The allowable signage will be determined outside of this Project
Development Plan review.
Topic: Site Plan
Number: 83 Created: 12/19/2003
[12/19/03] The Expansion Joints (EJ) should not be shown on the Site Plan. This is a

Topic: Construction Drawings
Number: 10 Created: 11/4/2003
[12/8/03] When noting previously that the approval block should be on all sheets, it
wasn't intended to be on the site and landscape plans, as these are not typically
part of a construction drawing set. Please have the approval block removed
from the site and landscape plans.
[11/4/03] Please revise the approval block on the construction set as shown on the
redlines. The approval block should be on all sheets.
Number: 41 Created: 11/7/2003
[12/16/03] This item wasn't addressed, however it is not required to be addressed
until the submittal after a public hearing. At that time, please ensure that LCUA55
details 706 and 1602 are added (and replace previous details reflecting driveway
approach and sidewalk installation). (In conjunction with a previous comment, ensure
the CDOT detail for access ramps is also included).
[11/7/03] Please replace details on the details sheet with City standard details as
redlined (such as access ramps, driveways, etc.)
Topic: General
Number: 15 Created: 11/4/2003
[12/8/03] The construction drawing set does not have the plat reference sheets in it.
This is fine for purposes of review, however the reference plat must be included in this
construction set at the time of signature of the plans.
[11/4/03] Please separate the site and landscape plans from the construction drawing
set (and not name them C-2 and C-6 respectively). These are items that will be filed
separate from the construction drawing set. The construction drawing set should have
Page 4
all remaining sheets assembled together within the plan set (ensure that the grading
plan sheet included within the drainage report is also included in the construction
drawing set). The plat, while also filed separately, should also be included in the
construction drawing set as a sheet for reference, placed immediately after the cover
sheet. The cover sheet index should note that the second sheet in the plan set is a
plat for reference.
Number: 24 Created: 11/4/2003
[12/8/03] While this appears correctly on the title block of the construction plan set
and the site plan, the title blocks on the top part of the sheets should also be revised
to reflect this.
[11/4/03] Please revise the title on all the documents to read "Oakridge Business Park
36th Filing, Holiday Inn Express".
Number: 25 Created: 11/4/2003
[12/8/03] My apologies, the comment was not clear and misinterpreted. PFA requires
the emergency access easement to connect the two driveways internal to the property
(from Oakridge Drive north and then west out to Wheaton Drive). At the same time,
the area now shown on the plat as dedicated as an emergency access easement should
be changed to a public access easement to ensure a public access easement is
maintained throughout the connection of the two driveways onto Oakridge Drive.
[11/4/03] It appears that PFA needs the drive aisle connecting the two driveways to
be dedicated as an emergency access easement. Please indicate such dedication on the
plat.
Number: 27 Created: 11/4/2003
[12/8/03] Please ensure that the CDOT construction detail for this ramp is provided.
An image of this was emailed on 11/21, and can be resent if not received.
[11/4/03] The new access ramp at the southeast corner of Harmony Road and
Wheaton Drive should be constructed as a directional ramp, not a corner ramp.
Number: 71 Created: 12/11/2003
[12/11/03] There is conflicting information between the site plan and utility plans.
The site plan calls out curb openings in the middle parking island median which are not
called out in the utility plan. Also, the survey overlay sheet on the utility plan sheet
shows the existing brick along Wheaton Drive is to be removed, but on the site plan it
states it is to remain (the brick needs to be removed).
Page 5
Number: 72 Created: 12/12/2003
[12/12/03] The landscaping plan does not illustrate that trees are being removed
which is only shown on the survey overlay sheet (C-3) of the utility plan set. The
landscaping plan needs to illustrate vegetation to be removed, which may be of concern
to Planning and/or Forestry.
Number: 73 Created: 12/16/2003
(12/16/03] Please realign the sidewalk along Harmony Road to ensure that the
sidewalk is separated two feet from the existing landscape wall structure.
Number: 75 Created: 12/16/2003
[12/16/03] Prior to a hearing, a letter of intent from the property owner of the outlot
at Harmony and Wheaton as well as the ditch company are required to verify that they
do not object to the work within their property.
Number: 76 Created: 12/16/2003
[12/16/03] At time of final compliance approval, the ditch company will need to be a
signatory to the plat and off -site access easements are required from the outlot for
the construction of the sidewalk.
Topic: Landscaping
Number: 80 Created: 12/17/2003
(12/17/03] Please situate the street trees along Wheaton Drive between the curb and
sidewalk (parkway :strip), not behind the sidewalk.
Topic: Plat
Number: 22 Created: 11/4/2003
[12/8/03] After internal discussion it was concluded that, the developer is required to
obtain the additional right-of-way along Harmony Road (as was done on the project
east) which would presumably overlap a portion of the ditch. The 9' of utility
easement along Oakridge Drive does not appear properly approaching Wheaton Drive,
9' of offset should follow around the property line curve up to the point where it
intersects the existing 15' easement along Wheaton Drive.
[11/4/03] The plat needs to dedicate additional right-of-way for Harmony Road and
additional access and landscape easement behind the right-of-way as reflected on the
33rd filing. 9' of utility easement behind the right-of-way on Oakridge Drive is also
required to be dedicated. The site plan appears to dimension these items (but not call
this out) correctly but it is not reflected on the plat.

Topic: General/Utility Plans
Number: 37 Created: 11/6/2003
[12/18/03] Please add a note explaining this to your general notes on the utility
plan set. The federal government has made changes to their policy related to Prairie
Dog relocation. Contact the Colorado Division of Wildlife for more information.
[11/6/03] If Prairie Dogs are currently located on the site they will need to be
removed prior to any construction activity occurring including overlot grading.
Currently the federal government is not allowing Prairie Dogs to be relocated due to
the threat of the Monkey Pox Virus. Due this current ban on relocation if Prairie Dog
are located or relocate to the property during construction (including overlot grading)
they will need be humanly eradicated in accordance to Chapter 4 of the City Code. At
any time if live Prairie Dogs are found on site during grading or other construction
activities the construction site will be closed until the Prairie Dogs have been removed.
Please add a note explaining this to your general notes on the utility plan set. Natural
Resources will also add a provision to the development agreement for this project
explaining this.
Prairie Dog Removal. Before the commencement of grading or other
construction on the development site, any prairie dogs inhabiting portions of the
site within the Limits of Development (LOD) shall be relocated or eradicated by
the developer using city -approved methods as set forth in Chapter 4 of the City
Code and, when applicable, using methods reviewed and approved by the
Colorado Division of Wildlife. LUC34.1(N)(5)

If 2181031 My apologies, the comment was not clear and misinterpreted. PFA requires the emergency access easement to
connect the two driveways internal to the property (from Oakridge Drive north and then west out to Wheaton Drive). At the

access easement to ensure a public access easement is maintained throughout the connection of the two driveways onto

[1218/031 After internal discussion it was concluded that, the developer is required to obtain the additional right-of-way along
Harmony Road (as was done on the project east) which would presumably overlap a portion of the ditch. The 9' of utility
easement along Oakridge Drive does not appear properly approaching Wheaton Drive, 9' of offset should follow around the
property line curve up to the point where it intersects the existing 15' easement along Wheaton Drive.
[ 1 1 /4/031 The plat needs to dedicate additional right-of-way for Harmony Road and additional access and landscape
easement behind the right; -of -way as reflected on the 33rd filing. 9' of utility easement behind the right-of-way on
Oakridge Drive is also required to be dedicated. The site plan appears to dimension these items (but not call this out)
correctly but it is not reflected on the plat.

Topic: Building Plans
Number: 108 Created: 3/1/2004
The building design would benefit from stronger horizontal detailing to mark the
stories. For example, on the brick end elements it could be done with courses; and
on the main faces of the building, with brick courses or EIFS details. In particular,
the multi -story area contained under the hoop or arch line does not express human
scale or building stories, nor any reason for the hoop. IF there is a strong desire for
such a tall element, it should be given a reason for being, with something different
happening within it -- e.g. different fenestration.

between fire line and meter box.
79 A 4" x 3" reducer is shown on both plan and profile views. A dielectric
connection for copper domestic line is specified on both plan and profile views.
105 Plan redlines have been corrected or clarified as requested.
The pervious paver stones specified on previous site plan submittals have
been removed. Additional detention was required and obtained by raising the
high water level by 0.15 foot. The high water level does not exceed 12 inches in
any parking location. The required water quality mitigation volume and required
sand filter basin surface area also increased. The required area and volume for
water quality were previously provided.
The Qwest telephone Pedestals along Wheaton Drive will not be
relocated. The public sidewalk will be placed to the East of the pedestals, within
the utility and public sidewalk easement.
We have also revised the plans per redlined drawings. For your

[1 1 /4/03] The new access ramp at the southeast corner of Harmony Road and Wheaton Drive should be constructed as a
directional ramp, not a corner ramp.
Topic: Plat
Number. 22 Created: 11 /4/2003
[ 1 1 /4/031 The plat needs to dedicate additional right-of-way for Harmony Road and additional access and landscape
easement behind the right of -way as reflected on the 33rd fling. 9' of utility easement behind the right-of-way on
Oakridge Drive is also required to be dedicated. The site plan appears to dimension these items (but not call this out)
correctly but it is not reflected on the plat.
Number: 23 Created: 11 /4/2003
[ 1 1 /4/031 There appears to be a portion of sidewalk along Oakridge Drive approaching Wheaton that is on private
property. It would make sense to dedicate this as right-of-way to provide a continuous property line along Oakridge.

Topic: General
Number: 119 Created: 7/9/2004
[7/9/04] Light & Power has indicated that the existing
electric transformer on the IHOP property, proposed to be
replaced and shared with the Holiday Inn Express, must be in a
utility easement. The location of the existing transformer,
assumed to be the location for the replacement, is not in a
utility easement on the IHOP subdivision plat. This issue must
be resolved prior to issuance of building permit or
certificate of occupancy, whichever Light & Power requires.
Number: 120 Created: 7/9/2004
[7/9/04] The Current Planning Department has no further
comments. We Eire ready for mylars of the Site Plan, Landscape
Plan, Building Elevations, and subdivision plat to be
submitted to Current Planning. Please submit 1 mylar each of
the Site, Landscape, and Building Elevations Plans; and, 3

Services offers the following comments:
1. Boundary and legal close.
2. The shaded area of the access easement at the SE corner
needs to be "hatched", it will not scan the way it is.
3. The radial bearing at the sw corner of the plat needs to be
replotted, it will not scan over the top of other lines.
4. What is the additional line in the area dedicated as right-
of-way, across the north side of the plat?
[3/1/041 Technical Services offers the following comments:
1. Boundary and legal close.
2. Why is the area of the lot the same as the total area of
the plat? (Additional right-of-way?)
3. Provide reception number on the plat for the offsite
sidewalk and utility easement when recorded.
4. Where does the 30' public access easement go to, at the
southeast corner? (Arrow goes to the 15' radius curve.)
5. The plat shows reference to Item #10, #15 etc. What/where

Quantity detention is required for this site in its entirety, not just for the difference
between the old and present rainfall standards. Per the Oakridge B.P. master plan, this

setback area. Please contact Everitt Companies to acquire the easement.
3. Are the proposed Pervious Paver Blocks the best parking space solution in this area?
4. Thar are several parking spaces that do not meet the setback requirements from the street.
5. The subdivision plat needs to dedicate street right-of-way, easements, emergency access
easement, public access easement, and landscape & access easement along Harmony Road.
Stormwater:
This development plan is not providing the required storm water detention. This site needs 5
times as much as is shown. This is a major issue.

53 The paver blocks specified are not intended to allow vegetative growth. The
pavers to be used are approximately 6 inches square with the corners cut. This
allows an opening at every cornerjoint. An 18" sand cushion below the pavers is
to be used for filtration of stormwater and the only reason incorporated into this
design. These blocks are used extensively in Canada, where freeze thaw
conditions are severe. They are also used frequently in extreme desert conditions
to allow infiltration into water starved soils.
54 The blue spruce along Harmony road have been removed from the plan. The
potentially protrusive trees have been replaced with smaller plantings.
55 A sidewalk connection to the IHOP has been added. Landscape plantings have
been revised accordingly.
56 The drawings have been revised per the red lined drawings. Blue spruce has been
removed from the North side of the Property
58 The shrubbery has been revised for better display.
Topic: Signage
57 The exterior signage has been removed from the building elevations on Sheet A-4
and A-4.1.
Topic: Site Plan
60 The proximity of the West building wall to the Wheaton Drive right of way was
located as shown due to several site limitations.
1. The existing landscape wall at the Northwest corner is only 2.5 feet across
the property line. In order to maintain the integrity of the wall, and not
add additional bearing pressure to the hotel footings, the distance between
these structures should be kept to a minimum. During construction, some
shoring might be required for the existing wall. The proposed building
location requires minimal amount of shoring.
2. Electrical service lines, Data service lines and telephone service lines will
enter the building at this corner. Installation and maintenance of these
lines would be more challenging if the building were further West.
3. The required water meter vault is to be located on the Hotel side of the
property line. The dimension of the water meter vault is 8 feet. The
distance between the meter vault and the building is 13 feet. Between the
meter vault and the building, a proposed sewer lateral and drainage pipe
are to be installed. Moving the building closer to the property line would
require rerouting of these pipes. The site does not have the required slope
to reroute the drainage pipe.
4. Should the building ever set on fire and collapse, at the proposed setback
from Wheaton Drive, emergency personnel would have a safe distance to
work between the crash zone and oncoming street traffic.
5. A four-story building looming over the sidewalk might not maintain the
exceptionally aesthetic neighborhood the City of Fort Collins is trying to
create. From a guest's perspective, some separation from they're sleeping
room to the street might be more desirable.
6. The required space for large landscape plantings would not be available if
the building were closer to the street.
7. Some of the first floor guest -room windows would look directly at the
back of the existing wall if the building were closer to the street.

set. The sheet arrangement has been revised as requested.
16 The modular paver blocks are to be installed in the parking stall area only as
shown on sheet C-2. The calculations on sheet C-9 reflect the
impervious/pervious ratio corrections for stormwater calculations in Area F.
According to the UDFCD, for areas covered with pervious pavers, the ratio of
impervious to pervious surface is 50:50.
21 The plan has been modified to comply with the 50' setback from Wheaton Drive.
24 The title block has been revised as requested.
25 The requested Emergency Access Easement has been specified on the Plat and

Department: Current Planning Issue Contact: Steve Olt
Topic: Building Plans
Number: 63 Created: 11/18/2003
[12/22/03] There should be building bays of no more than 30' in width. Also, the 50%
rule for features such as windows, entrances, arcades, arbors, awnings, treillage with
vines details is not being represented.
[11/18/03] The east and west elevations of the building appear to need more detailing
to meet Section 3.5.3(D)(3) of the LUC.
Number:95 Created: 12/22/2003
[12122103] This building appears to be 52' to 57' in height. Section 3.5.1(G) of the
LUC sets forth the requirement that all buildings or structures in excess of 40' in
height shall be subject to special review. The review criteria is set forth in Sections
3.5.1(G)(1)(a) Review Standards and (b) Submittal Requirements.
Number: 96 Created: 12/22/2003
[12/22/03] Please review Sections 3.5.3(D)(2), (3) & (4) of the LUC regarding building
Character and Image, specifically Fagade Treatment (all sides), Facades, and
Entrances. The building does not appear to satisfy, as a minimum, the building bay
requirements and the street facing building articulation requirements.

[12/19/03] Remove the UTILITY PLAN APPROVAL block from the Landscape Plan. No
signature blocks are needed on this plan.
Number: 87 Created: 12/19/2003
[12/19/03] The street trees along Wheaton Drive must be in the parkway strip
between back of curb and the sidewalk, per Section 3.2.1(D)(2)(a) of the Land Use
Code.
Number: 88 Created: 12/19/2003
[12/19/03] There are a number of existing trees at the northwest corner of this site
that have not been and are not shown on the Landscape Plan.
* 3 Cottonwood - south of existing wall
* 4 Austrian Pine - south of existing wall
* 2 Chokecherry - north of existing wall
A utility plan sheet shows these trees to be removed. After a site visit, City staff
(City Forester and Planning) is of the opinion that several of these trees can be
retained and protected. The western -most Austrian Pine should not be in jeopardy with
the construction of the hotel building. One, and maybe two, of the Cottonwood may Ze
able to be retained. Please see the colored drawing attached to this comment letter.
The trees that may be removed will have to be mitigated for, in the form of the
following:
* Cottonwood trees ...... 4 trees per each tree to be removed.
* Austrian Pines ........... 3 trees per each tree to be removed.
* Chokecherry trees ..... 2 trees per each tree to be removed.
There are probably enough new trees on the Landscape Plan to provide mitigation;
however, enough of them must be upsized to provide the required mitigation.
Depending on how many trees are to be removed the number of mitigation trees ranges
from 17 to 28. The mitigation standards are set forth in Section 3.2.1(F)(1) of the LUC
and are as follows:
* Canopy shade trees ..... minimum 3" caliper, balled and burlap
* Ornamental trees ......... minimum 2.5" caliper, balled and burlap
* Evergreen trees ........... minimum 8' height, balled and burlap

[12/22/03] There were 4 Bur Oak trees shown along East Harmony Road, in the 80'
setback area, on the previous Landscape Plan. They are in the Harmony Corridor
Standards & Guidelines Oak Palette and it is unclear as to why they have been removed
from the Landscape Plan.
Number: 98 Created: 12/22/2003
[12/22/03] There are a number of shrubs on the Plant List that do not appear in
either of the plant palettes in the Harmony Corridor Standards & Guidelines. See the
red -lined Landscape Plan reviewed by Current Planning. Please understand that the
plant materials to be used in the "setback zone" along Harmony Road and in the
"setback areas" along local and collector streets are guidelines, not standards. These
palettes are; however, strongly recommended.
Topic: Signage
Number: 57 Created: 11/17/2003
[12/22/03] There is still signage being shown on the West Building Elevation on Sheet
A-4 of the Building Elevations. This signage must be removed from the plan.
[11/17/03] Remove all signage from the Building Elevations. This development is
subject to the City of Fort Collins Sign Code that is administered by the Zoning
Department. The allowable signage will be determined outside of this Project
Development Plan review.
Topic: Site Plan
Number: 83 Created: 12/19/2003
[12/19/03] The Expansion Joints (EJ) should not be shown on the Site Plan. This is a

Topic: Construction Drawings
Number: 10 Created: 11/4/2003
[12/8/03] When noting previously that the approval block should be on all sheets, it
wasn't intended to be on the site and landscape plans, as these are not typically
part of a construction drawing set. Please have the approval block removed
from the site and landscape plans.
[11/4/03] Please revise the approval block on the construction set as shown on the
redlines. The approval block should be on all sheets.
Number: 41 Created: 11/7/2003
[12/16/03] This item wasn't addressed, however it is not required to be addressed
until the submittal after a public hearing. At that time, please ensure that LCUA55
details 706 and 1602 are added (and replace previous details reflecting driveway
approach and sidewalk installation). (In conjunction with a previous comment, ensure
the CDOT detail for access ramps is also included).
[11/7/03] Please replace details on the details sheet with City standard details as
redlined (such as access ramps, driveways, etc.)
Topic: General
Number: 15 Created: 11/4/2003
[12/8/03] The construction drawing set does not have the plat reference sheets in it.
This is fine for purposes of review, however the reference plat must be included in this
construction set at the time of signature of the plans.
[11/4/03] Please separate the site and landscape plans from the construction drawing
set (and not name them C-2 and C-6 respectively). These are items that will be filed
separate from the construction drawing set. The construction drawing set should have
Page 4
all remaining sheets assembled together within the plan set (ensure that the grading
plan sheet included within the drainage report is also included in the construction
drawing set). The plat, while also filed separately, should also be included in the
construction drawing set as a sheet for reference, placed immediately after the cover
sheet. The cover sheet index should note that the second sheet in the plan set is a
plat for reference.
Number: 24 Created: 11/4/2003
[12/8/03] While this appears correctly on the title block of the construction plan set
and the site plan, the title blocks on the top part of the sheets should also be revised
to reflect this.
[11/4/03] Please revise the title on all the documents to read "Oakridge Business Park
36th Filing, Holiday Inn Express".
Number: 25 Created: 11/4/2003
[12/8/03] My apologies, the comment was not clear and misinterpreted. PFA requires
the emergency access easement to connect the two driveways internal to the property
(from Oakridge Drive north and then west out to Wheaton Drive). At the same time,
the area now shown on the plat as dedicated as an emergency access easement should
be changed to a public access easement to ensure a public access easement is
maintained throughout the connection of the two driveways onto Oakridge Drive.
[11/4/03] It appears that PFA needs the drive aisle connecting the two driveways to
be dedicated as an emergency access easement. Please indicate such dedication on the
plat.
Number: 27 Created: 11/4/2003
[12/8/03] Please ensure that the CDOT construction detail for this ramp is provided.
An image of this was emailed on 11/21, and can be resent if not received.
[11/4/03] The new access ramp at the southeast corner of Harmony Road and
Wheaton Drive should be constructed as a directional ramp, not a corner ramp.
Number: 71 Created: 12/11/2003
[12/11/03] There is conflicting information between the site plan and utility plans.
The site plan calls out curb openings in the middle parking island median which are not
called out in the utility plan. Also, the survey overlay sheet on the utility plan sheet
shows the existing brick along Wheaton Drive is to be removed, but on the site plan it
states it is to remain (the brick needs to be removed).

Dear Stevan,
For your information, attached is a copy of the Staff's comments concerning the request
for a Holiday Inn Express @ Oakridge Business Park which was presented before the
Conceptual Review Team on April 7, 2003.
This is a request for a new Holiday Inn Express Hotel in the Oakridge Business Park. The
hotel would be a 4-story building containing 87 units (guest rooms). The property is 2.17
acres in size and is located at the northeast corner of Oakridge Drive and Wheaton Drive.
The existing IHOP Restaurant is directly to the east and East Harmony Road is along the
north side. The property is in the HC - Harmony Corridor Zoning District.
The comments are offered informally by Staff to assist you in preparing the detailed
components of the project application. Modifications and additions to these comments may be
made at the time of formal review of this project.
If you should have any questions regarding these comments or the next steps in the review
process, please feel free to call me at 221-6341.
Sincerely,
Steve Olt, Project Planner

[12/17/03] Please situate the street trees along Wheaton Drive between the curb and
sidewalk (parkway strip), not behind the sidewalk.
Topic: Plat
Number: 22 Created: 11/4/2003
[12/8/03] After internal discussion it was concluded that, the developer is required to
obtain the additional right-of-way along Harmony Road (as was done on the project
east) which would presumably overlap a portion of the ditch. The 9' of utility
easement along Oakridge Drive does not appear properly approaching Wheaton Drive,
9' of offset should follow around the property line curve up to the point where it
intersects the existing 15' easement along Wheaton Drive.
[11/4/03] The plat needs to dedicate additional right-of-way for Harmony Road and
additional access and landscape easement behind the right-of-way as reflected on the
33rd filing. 9' of utility easement behind the right-of-way on Oakridge Drive is also
required to be dedicated. The site plan appears to dimension these items (but not call
this out) correctly but it is not reflected on the plat.

the plat where this might be. Is this note pertinent to the plat?

[12/22/03] Technical Services offered the following comments:
1. Legal closes. Plat boundary is missing several bearings/distances.
2. The outer boundary of the plat must go around the area to be dedicated on the
southwest corner of the site.
3. Dedication statement is missing the "name" of the plat.
4. Areas of lot and plat will change with dedication of tract.

Topic: General/Utility Plans
Number: 37 Created: 11/6/2003
[12/18/03] Please add a note explaining this to your general notes on the utility
plan set. The federal government has made changes to their policy related to Prairie
Dog relocation. Contact the Colorado Division of Wildlife for more information.
[11/6/03] If Prairie Dogs are currently located on the site they will need to be
removed prior to any construction activity occurring including overlot grading.
Currently the federal government is not allowing Prairie Dogs to be relocated due to
the threat of the Monkey Pox Virus. Due this current ban on relocation if Prairie Dog
ore located or relocate to the property during construction (including overlot grading)
they will need be humanly eradicated in accordance to Chapter 4 of the City Code. At
any time if live Prairie Dogs are found on site during grading or other construction
activities the construction site will be closed until the Prairie Dogs have been removed.
Please add a note explaining this to your general notes on the utility plan set. Natural
Resources will also add a provision to the development agreement for this project
explaining this.
Prairie Dog Removal. Before the commencement of grading or other
construction on the development site, any prairie dogs inhabiting portions of the
site within the Limits of Development (LOD) shall be relocated or eradicated by
the developer using city -approved methods as set forth in Chapter 4 of the City
Code and, when applicable, using methods reviewed and approved by the
Colorado Division of Wildlife. LUC3.4.1(N)(5)

No person shall poison any animal or distribute poison in any manner with the intent to

such use by the United States Environmental Protection Agency. This prohibition shall
not apply to persons regularly engaged in the business of fumigation or pest

The detention calculation can be reduced with using .64 as the C-f actor in the spread
sheet, which automatically adds the multiplier of 1.25.
Number: 90 Created: 12/19/2003
Please revise spillway elevation in the report to 4978.75 instead of 4978, which is
required due to the high water surface elevation being at 4978.75. The grading plan
shows the HWL to be at 4978.75 already.
Number: 91 Created: 12/19/2003
Please add a detention pond summary table to the drainage and erosion control plan
including volume required, volume provided, 100-year HWL, and water quality volume
required and provided.
Number: 92 Created: 12/19/2003
Please provide a detail for the new inlet ,ST-7, in the detention pond. This does not
have to be our standard water quality outlet structure detail, due to a different water
quality mitigation being used for this project.

site and landscape plans, as these are not typically part of a construction drawing set. Please have the
approval block removed from the site and landscape plans.

should be on all sheets.

that time, please ensure that LCUASS details 706 and 1602 are added (and replace previous details reflecting driveway
approach and sidewalk installation). (In conjunction with a previous comment, ensure the CDOT detail for access ramps is

C-2 and C-6 respectively). These are items that will be filed separate from the construction drawing set. The
construction drawing set should have all remaining sheets assembled together within the plan set (ensure that

Number: 24 Created: 11/4/2003
[12/8/03] While this appears correctly on the title block of the construction plan set and the site plan, the title blocks on the top
part of the sheets should also be revised to reflect this.

Number: 25 Created: 11/4/2003
[12/81031 My apologies, the comment was not clear and misinterpreted. PFA requires the emergency access easement to
connect the two driveways internal to the property (from Oakridge Drive north and then west out to Wheaton Drive). At the
same time, the area now shown on the plat as dedicated as an emergency access easement should be changed to a public
access easement to ensure a public access easement is maintained throughout the connection of the two driveways onto
Oakridge Drive.
[ 1 1 /4/03] It appears that PFA needs the drive aisle connecting the two driveways to be dedicated as an emergency access
easement. Please indicate such dedication on the plat.

in the middle parking island median which are not called out in the utility plan. Also, the survey overlay sheet on the utility
plan sheet shows the existing brick along Wheaton Drive is to be removed, but on the site plan it states it is to remain (the
brick needs to be removed).
Number: 72 Created: 12/12/2003
[12/12/03] The landscaping plan does not illustrate that trees are being removed which is only shown on the
survey overlay sheet (C-3) of the utility plan set. The landscaping plan needs to illustrate vegetation to be
removed, which may be of concern to Planning and/or Forestry.

[1218/031 After internal discussion it was concluded that, the developer is required to obtain the additional right-of-way along
Harmony Road (as was done on the project east) which would presumably overlap a portion of the ditch. The 9' of utility
easement along Oakridge Drive does not appear properly approaching Wheaton Drive, 9' of offset should follow around the
property line curve up to the point where it intersects the existing 15' easement along Wheaton Drive.
[ 1 1 /4/031 The plat needs to dedicate additional right-of-way for Harmony Road and additional access and landscape
easement behind the right-of-way as reflected on the 33rd filing. 9' of utility easement behind the right-of-way on
Oakridge Drive is also required to be dedicated. The site plan appears to dimension these items (but not call this out)
correctly but it is not reflected on the plat.

[ 12/ 16/031 The response letter indicates that this notes refers to the Spring Canyon Lateral and that It has been revised;
I'm still not seeing an Item #7 labeled on the plat, just referenced in the notes.
[ 1 1 /7/031 On the plat, Item H7 mentions a right-of-way ditch but does not indicate on the plat where this might be. Is
this note pertinent to the plat?

Dear Mr. Olt,
Regarding the staff review comments for the proposed Holiday Inn Express, dated
12/17/01, we offer the following responses.
ISSUCS:
Department: Current Planning
Topic: Building Plan
63 We will be requesting a Modification of Standards concerning this issue. Also,
the East and West Elevations have been revised with more detail as shown on
Sheets A-4 and A-4.1.
95 We will comply with the review criteria as stated in the LUC.
96 We will be requesting a Modification of Standards concerning this issue.
97 The signagc has been removed, as requested, from the West Building Elevation
on Sheet A-4.
Topic: Landscape Plan
52 Note 16 was added to the landscape plan as requested.
86 The approval block has been removed from the landscape plan.
87 The street trees have been relocated between the sidewalk and the street curb.
88 The existing trees have been identified on the landscape plan and the survey
overlay. Previous submittals displayed the water service lines in the wrong
location. The mechanical room is on the north side of the hotel and the water
lines were moved accordingly. The Austrian pines identified as savable by the
city forestry department and the City planner will need to be removed for
installation of water services. Only one Cottonwood will need to be removed. A

The building design would benefit from stronger horizontal detailing to mark the
stories. For example, on the brick end elements it could be done with courses; and
on the main faces of the building, with brick courses or EIFS details. In particular,
the multi -story area contained under the hoop or arch line does not express human
scale or building stories, nor any reason for the hoop. IF there is a strong desire for
such a tall element, it should be given a reason for being, with something different
happening within it -- e.g. different fenestration.

[2/16/04] Why doesn't the sidewalk along Harmony Road heading west not curve
south to tie directly with the access ramp?

dedication along Harmony Road. This is not required at this time.
Topic: Landscaping
Number: 103 Created: 2/23/2004
[2/23/04] CDOT requires that the trees along Harmony Road be set back 35' from
the edge of the existing southernmost through lane. With about 10 feet of pavement
for the bikelane and runoff, the trees need to be set back about 25' from the existing
edge of pavement. All four Bur Oaks will need to be moved back.

The pervious paver stones specified on previous site plan submittals have
been removed. Additional detention was required and obtained by raising the
high water level by 0.15 foot. The high water level does not exceed 12 inches in
any parking location. The required water quality mitigation volume and required
sand filter basin surface area also increased. The required area and volume for
water quality were previously provided.
The Qwest telephone Pedestals along Wheaton Drive will not be
relocated. The public sidewalk will be placed to the East of the pedestals, within
the utility and public sidewalk easement.
We have also revised the plans per redlined drawings. For your

this property to be in an area of the business park that is approved
for secondary uses; therefore, there is no problem with the Holiday
Inn Express Hotel being located on this site.
C. The request will have to comply with all the regulations and standards
set forth in Article 3 - General Development Standards and the
Permitted Uses, Land Use Standards and Development Standards
in Division 4.21 - Harmony Corridor District of the LUC. It is also
subject to the standards and guidelines set forth in the Harmony
Corridor Plan and Harmony Corridor Standards and Guidelines, both
adopted by City Council.

Please contact Gary, at (970)416-2338, if you have questions about these
comments.
2. Marc Virata of the Engineering Department offered the following
comments:
a. The standard utility plan submittal requirements will apply to this
development request.
b. Street oversizing fees will apply to this development request. The
fees are based on vehicle trip generation for the proposed land use in
the development plan. Please contact Matt Baker of Engineering, at
(970)224-6108, for detailed information on the fees. The fees will
be. collected at the time of issuance of building permits.
C. The Lorimer County Road Impact Fees will apply to development on
this property.
d. A Transportation Impact Study (TI5), addressing all modes of
transportation, will be required with your Project Development Plan
(PDP) submittal. Please contact Eric Bracke of the Traffic
Operations Department, at (970)224-6062 and Tom Reiff of the
Transportation Planning Department, at (970)416-2040 to determine
what information may be needed in the TIS pertaining to Level of
Service (LOS) for vehicle, pedestrian, bicycle, and transit modes of
transportation.
e. The proposed attached sidewalk along Wheaton Drive does not
comply with the current City Street Design Standards. There is a
variance procedure available if the applicant wants to request the
ability to construct an attached walk.
f. East Harmony Road is a 6-lane arterial street and both Wheaton
Drive and Oakridge Drive are collector streets.
g. This property may have to dedicate additional street right-of-way
(ROW) for all 3 streets bordering it. Also, the necessary easements
behind the ROW's for each street must be dedicated with the
subdivision plat.
h. This development may be responsible for reimbursements for
improvements to Wheaton Drive and Oakridge Drive.
The drives and directional ramps are subject to the requirements set
forth in the Lorimer County Urban Area Street Standards
(LCUASS).
j. Please familiarize yourself with Appendix E-4, the complete
construction documentation checklist, in LCUASS as this development
request will be subject to the requirement.
k. There are requirements for minimum parking space setback from
street flowlines; and, the concept plan appears not to meet the
setback requirements.
I. Please coordinate off-street, cross -vehicular access with the IHOP
Restaurant to the east.
Please contact Marc, at (970)221-6750 or (970)221-6605, if you have
questions about these comments.
3. Jeff Hill of the Water/Wastewater Department offered the following
comments:
a. There is an existing 8" water main in Wheaton Drive and an existing
12" water main in Oakridge Drive.
b. There is an existing 8" sanitary sewer main in Wheaton Drive.
C. If there are any existing services stubbed into this site they must
be used or vacated at the main.
d. Domestic water service and the fire flow line cannot be in the same
water line.
e. Plant investment fees and water rights will apply to this development
request. They will be collected at the time of issuance of building
permits.

irrigation systems may apply to this development request.
Please contact Jeff, at (970)221-6674, if you have questions about these
comments.
4. Glen Schlueter of the Stormwater Utility offered the following comments:
a. The site is located in the McClellands/Mail Creek Drainage Basin,
where the new development fee is $3,717 per acre, which is subject
to the runoff coefficient reduction.
b. The site is on Stormwater Inventory Map #10Q. A copy of the map
can be obtained from the Utility Service Center at 700 Wood Street.
C. The standard drainage and erosion control report and construction
plans are required and they must be prepared by a professional
engineer registered in the State of Colorado.
d. The applicant asked about the outfolls into the streets. East
Harmony road is a State highway and drainage is not allowed into it.
Unless there is an existing Swale that has historic flows into it along
Harmony Road, the runoff outfoll in that direction would not be
allowed. Wheaton Drive has a stormsewer in it so that would be the
best outf all. Oakridge Drive is an option and runoff could be
discharged into the curb and gutter since there is no stormsewer.
e. Water quality extended detention is required to treat the runoff.
f. The applicant's design engineer should refer to the overall Oakridge
drainage report for the detention requirements. In any case, there
would be some detention since rainfall requirements have increased
since the original report and there is the water quality extended
detention requirement, as mentioned above.
Please contact Glen, at (970)224-6065, if you have questions about these
comments.
5. Alan Rutz of the Light & Power Department offered the following
comments:
a. Please coordinate the transformer location with Light & Power.
b. The standard electric development charges will apply to this
development request. . .
C. A C-1 Commercial Form must be filled out to help determine the
power needs for this development.
Please contact Alan, at (970)224-6153, if you have questions about these
comments.
6. Doug Moore of the Natural Resources Department offered the following
comments:
a. Native plant materials and grasses should be incorporated in the
Landscape Plan for the development. The use of bluegrass should be
minimized.
b. If prairie dogs exist on this property they must be relocated or
humanely eradicated prior to any construction occurring on -site,
including overlot grading. This is set forth in Section 3.4.1(N)(5) of
the LUC.
