Department: Light And Power Contact: Doug Martine, 970.224-6152, dmartine _fcgov.com Topic: General Comment Number: 1 Comment Originated: 08/14/2013 08/14/2013: Power is located along the eastern side of the 1-25 frontage road. The developer will need to provide an off -site easement for a power line from the frontage road to the development. Specifics of this easement will need to be coordinated with Light & Power Engineering (970)221-6700. NE Response: An off -site 6' Dry Utility Easement will be shown on the Plat. This will be shown on the PDP. Comment Number: 2 Comment Originated: 09/16/2013 09/16/2013: RE: 2nd round of review. As noted earlier, the specifics of the off -site easement will need to be coordinated with Light & Power Engineering. Upon review of the PDP, the location of the easement is not clear and has not been coordinated with Light & Power Engineering. It may be beneficial to have a site visit to assist in determining the location of the easement. To schedule a site visit please contact Doug Martine at (970)224-6152.

On the ODP (Sheet 1 of 1), please label the floodplain boundaries as Boxelder 100-year Floodplain and Boxelder 100-year Floodway, and make the lines more distinctive so they don't blend in with the contours, etc. 2. Also on the ODP, please add the following notes: a) Portions of this property are located in the FEMA-regulatory 100-year Boxelder Creek Floodway and High -Risk Flood Fringe. b) All development within the floodplain must comply with the floodplain regulations of Chapter 10 of City of Fort Collins Municipal Code. c) Construction of residential structures is not allowed in the 100-year Floodway. d) Residential structures are allowed in the 100-year High Risk Flood Fringe provided they meet all elevation requirements of Chapter 10 of City Municipal Code. e) Non-structural development (fences, detention ponds, hard surface paths, fill, driveways, parking areas, vegetation etc.) is allowed within the 100-year Floodway, provided the development will not cause a rise in the Base Flood Elevation or a change to the Floodway or Flood Fringe boundaries. Non-structural development is not restricted in the flood fringe. 3.On the Master Drainage Plan, add "FEMA" to the labels for the floodway and flood fringe. NE Response: "FEMA" was added to the floodway and flood fringe labels. 4. Also on the Master Drainage Plan, show and label the CSL's and the BFE's. The label for the CSL should include the station, elevation, and datum; e.g. #144454 4906.74 ft. NAVD88. The label for the BFE should include the elevation and datum; e.g. 4907 NAVD88. NE Response: The BFE and CSL lines are now shown on the Master Drainage Plan. Comment Number: 2 Comment Originated: 08/27/2013 08/27/2013: 5. Add the following notes to the Master Drainage Plan. a) Portions of this property are located in the FEMA-regulatory 100-year Boxelder Creek Floodway and High -Risk Flood Fringe, and must comply with the floodplain requirements of Chapter 10 of City of Fort Collins Municipal Code. b) Construction of new residential structures is not allowed in the floodway. Residential structures are allowed in the flood fringe, provided that all duct work, heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems, hot water heater, electrical and the lowest floor of the building, are a minimum of 18-inches above the Base Flood Elevation (BFE). That minimum elevation is known as the Regulatory Flood Protection Elevation (RFPE). RFPE = BFE + 18". c) The Flood Fringe is an AO Zone, meaning that the BFE's have not been determined, so the BFE for each structure will be 2.0 feet above the highest adjacent grade (HAG), and the RFPE will be HAG + 3.5 feet; or this area will have to be modeled by a Professional Engineer licensed in the State of Colorado to establish BFE's. Fox Grove CR Comment Responses September 4, 2013 Page 4 of 6 d) Basements may not be constructed below the RFPE in the flood fringe. Crawl spaces (if used rather than slab -on -grade) must be built in conformance with Section 10-40 of City of Fort Collins Municipal Code (this will include venting, sump pumps, etc.). e) Nonstructural development (fences, detention ponds, hard surface paths, fill, driveways, parking areas, vegetation, etc.) is allowed within the 100-year Floodway as long as it can be proven that the development will not cause a rise in the Base Flood Elevation (BFE) or a change to the floodway or flood fringe boundaries. Nonstructural development is not restricted within the flood fringe. f) Any and all construction activities in the floodway or flood fringe must be preceded by an approved floodplain use permit. If the construction is in the floodway a no -rise certification must be approved prior to construction. NE Response: Notes have been added. 6. In the Drainage Report, describe the site as being in the FEMA-regulatory 100-year Boxelder Floodplain, describe the floodway, identify the FEMA FIRM panel number and the date it was mapped, include a copy of the FIRM panel and show the location of the development, discuss the location of all structures relative to the floodplain and describe how the development will meet the requirements of Chapter 10 of City of Fort Collins Municipal Code (In this instance it sounds as if the portion of the development in the flood fringe will be delayed until upstream improvements decrease ---or eliminate ---the size of the flood fringe. That discussion should be included in this report, but it doesn't preclude the need for inclusion of all the items asked for in this note.) NE Response: The drainage report now contains further explanation of the FEMA floodplain, and a FIRM panel is included with this report. 7. 1 understand that the developer has asked for approval of an access road across the floodway from the 1-25 frontage road to the site. In order for the road to be approved, the developer will have to obtain an approved floodplain use permit and no -rise certification, as a minimum. If construction of the road will cause a change to the Base Flood Elevation (BFE) or the floodplain or flood fringe boundaries, a Conditional Letter of Map Revision (CLOMR) will have to be approved by FEMA prior to beginning any work on the roadway, and a Letter of Map Revision (LOMR) approved by FEMA upon completing the work. If there is an existing culvert which needs to be modified where the existing road crosses over Boxelder Creek, that will also have to be included in the CLOMR/LOMR process. NE Response: Acknowledged. Comment Number: 5 Comment Originated: 09/18/2013 09/18/2013: Due to the recent flooding of the Poudre River, the Utilities Department's flood recovery effort has become our top priority, and I am unable to review the 2nd round of comments for the Fox Grove ODP at this time. I am sorry for the inconvenience. Response: Acknowledged Topic: General Comment Number: 3 Comment Originated: 08/27/2013 08/27/2013: The ODP is required to have quantity detention. At this time, the City can not guarantee if modeling that showed this development not increasing any flows downstream would reduce the detention requirement. Fox Grove CR Comment Responses September 4, 2013 Page 5 of 6 NE Response: Acknowledged. Further modeling will be done if this direction is pursued. Comment Number: 4 Comment Originated: 08/27/2013 08/27/2013: Off -site drainage easements would be required for any flow path between the site and Boxelder Creek. NE Response: An off -site Drainage Easement will be shown on the Plat.

Response: Acknowledged Topic: Traffic Impact Study Comment Number: 1 Comment Originated: 08/27/2013 09/17/2013: No response from the applicant. Comment is maintained. Response: Please see revised TIS 08/27/2013: The number of housing units in the TIS differs from what was stated in the May 2013 neighborhood meeting. The number used in the TIS creates more trips than what was expressed at the May 2013 neighborhood meeting. The City assumes the July 2013 TIS is based upon the most current plan for this site and accepts the TIS. The City also assumes the future PDP submittal documents and plans will have matching numbers of housing units.

Response: Vixen drive will be continued in phase 2 and loop. Comment Number: 3 Comment Originated: 09/10/2013 09/10/2013: The Legend includes a Pedestrian and bicycle routes symbol, are there these Fox Grove CR Comment Responses September 4, 2013 Page 6 of 6 types of routes on the OPD? Response: The pedestrian routes are shown Comment Number: 3 Comment Originated: 09/10/2013 09/10/2013: The request for modification can be tied with the ODP instead of the 1st phase PDP Response: Please see the attached modifications.
