Comment Originated: 09/25/2013
In terms of building color, the project is in proximity to natural habitat and also must comply with
the multi -family design standards. Staffs recommendation to satisfy these standards is to utilize
a color palette that is warmer and more natural, in order to harmonize within the natural setting
and the existing office buildings to the south. A contrast of traditional materials/colors with the
contemporary building would be appropriate. [SC]: Colors modified per recommendation.

Building Materials: Please submit an exhibit showing an accurate depiction of all proposed
material colors and textures. This can be done with high resolution photographs of materials
and color samples as well as photographs of the materials on existing buildings. Include color
and material information for the HVAC units shown on the building elevations. The individual
HVAC units need to blend in and be as inconspicuous as possible. Recent approved Banner
Health plans are a good format example. Please incorporate color elevations directly in to the
2436 drawings instead of separate 11 x 17 pages. [SC]: Presentation provided per request.

RESPONSES, AS NOTED, SEPTEMBER 10, 2013
Description of project: This is a request to construct a new multifamily affordable housing development
located between South College Avenue and the intersection of Fossil Boulevard and Conejos Road
(primary parcel# 96024-17-008). 60 units of affordable housing (permanent supportive housing) are planned
in a 4-story building. Recreation space in an interior courtyard and a community garden are also planned.
The site is located in the General Commercial (C-G) Zone District and the Transit Oriented Development
(TOD) Overlay Zone. Multifamily projects with more than 50 units are subject to Planning & Zoning Board
(Type 2) review.
Please see the following summary of comments regarding the project request referenced above. The
comments offered informally by staff during the Conceptual Review will 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 have any questions regarding these comments or the next steps in
the review process, you may contact the individual commenter or direct your questions through the Project
Planner, Jason Holland, at 970-224-6126 or jholland@fcgov.com.

Comment noted.
Department: Stormwater Engineering
Contact: Glen Schlueter, 970.224-6065, gschlueter0fcgov.com
1. A drainage report, erosion control report, and construction plans are required and they must be prepared
by a Professional Engineer registered in Colorado. The drainage report must address the four -step
process for selecting structural BMPs. Standard operating procedures (SOPs) for all onsite drainage
facilities need to be prepared by the drainage engineer and there is a final site inspection required when
the project is complete and the maintenance is handed over to an HOA or another maintenance
organization. The erosion control report requirements are in the Fort Collins Stormwater Manual, Section
1.3.3, Volume 3, Chapter 7 of the Fort Collins Amendments. If you need clarification concerning this
section, please contact the Erosion Control Inspector, Jesse Schlam at 224-6015 or jschlam@fcgov.com.
Comment noted.
2. The same drainage concepts can be followed as in the approved Redtail Ponds drainage study as far as
detention and water quality treatment with the exception of the LID requirements in the next two
comments. Comment noted.
3. It doesn't appear the water quality pond is still part of the plan. Fifty percent of the site runoff is still
required to be treated using the standard water quality treatment as described in the Fort Collins
Stormwater Manual, Volume 3 - Best Management Practices (BMPs).
(http://www.fcgov.com/utilities/business/builders-and-developers/development-forms-guidelines-regulati
ons/stormwater-criteria) Extended detention is the usual method selected for water quality treatment;
however the use of any of the BMPs is encouraged. Permeable pavers and bioswele will be used to treat
for water quality. Additional runoff from the site will be conveyed to the existing pond to the East.
4. Low Impact Development (LID) requirements went into effect March 11, 2013. These require a higher
degree of water quality treatment for 50% of the new impervious area and 25% of new paved areas must
be pervious. Please contact Basil Hamdan at 224-6035 or bhamdan@fcgov.com for more information.
There is also more information on the EPA web site at: http://water.epa.gov/polwaste/green/bbfs.cfm?
goback=.gde 4605732_member 219392996. The bio-swale may meet some of the LID requirements but
please contact Basil Hamdan before submitting a PDP to confirm if all the water quality requirements are
being met. Project has been reviewed with Basil and LID requirements will be met with permeable
pavers and bioswales.
5. The drainage outfall for the site is still the curb and gutter of the frontage road. Since this is a new
proposal the street capacity will need to be verified in the drainage report. The majority of the site runoff will
be directed east to the existing curb and gutter along Frontage Rd. A stormwater detention pond is
proposed to capture a majority of the developed runoff and detain for the 100yr storm event with either a 5
or 10 year historic release rate. The developed flow to frontage Rd. will be less than existing, therefore we
see no need to analyze the street capacity. See preliminary drainage memo attached.
6. The city wide Stormwater development fee (PIF) is $6,390.00/acre ($0.1467/sq.-ft.) for new impervious
area over 350 sq.-ft., and there is a $1,045.00/acre ($0.024/sq.-ft.) review fee. No fee is charged for
existing impervious area. These fees are to be paid at the time each building permit is issued.
Information on fees can be found on the City's web site at
http://www.fcgov.com/utilities/business/builders-and-developers/plant-investment-development-fees or
contact Jean Pakech at 221- 6375 for questions on fees. There is also an erosion control escrow
required before the Development Construction permit is issued. The amount of the escrow is
determined by the design engineer, and is based on the site disturbance area, cost of the measures, or
a minimum amount in accordance with the Fort Collins Stormwater Manual. Comment noted.
7. The design of this site must conform to the drainage basin design of the Fossil Creek Basin Master
Drainage Plan as well the Fort Collins Stormwater Manual. Comment noted.

1. GENERAL COMMENTS
The geographical limitations of the site combined with the current site plan, provides for fire access only
on the west side of the proposed building. This "out of access" condition will require further discussion

authorized to increase the dimension of 150 feet if the building is equipped throughout with an approved,
automatic fire -sprinkler system. 2006 International Fire Code 503.1.1 Comment noted.
FIRE LANE SPECIFICATIONS

Comment Number: 3 Comment Originated: 09125/201 S
Staff recommends that more masonry material be used on the building facade and that the
masonry be more evenly distributed around the building, both to further articulate the massing
and to further improve the residential character of the building. An additional material such as a
stained siding might also add a warmer appearance to the building; the Baker Townhomes at
4th and Cherokee would be an example. This could be used to enhance the
traditional/contemporary contrast.
[SC]: Masonry added to East/College Ave. Elevation. RE: Elevations.
Comment Number: 4 Comment Originated: 09/27/2013
West elevation: The projected design elements used to break up the main wall plane on this
elevation are repeated uniformly to the extent that the overall elevation could benefit from
additional elements to substantially break up this uniformity. In addition to substantial elements,
the west elevation would benefit from more material variation such as the addition of plank
siding used on the east elevation. Also, please also add a dashed line to the elevations
showing where main wall plane corners intersect. A plan key map would also be helpful
adjacent to each elevation.

constructing an 8ft sidewalk for the remaining property frontage. The South College Corridor
Plan identifies 8ft sidewalk widths along College Ave. Further evaluation will be needed to
