[9/20/07] Before the hearing, please show how the pervious pavement underdrain system
will outfall into the storm sewer in maple.
The previous pavement will not have an under drain system. The absorption
coefficient of the existing soil conditions will absorb with a 12" pervious sub base.

Topic: Water/Wastewater
Number: 36 Created: 8/16/2007

maintenance responsibility for the common fire line.
I'm not sure if this will be submitted with these final plan documents. However, the client is
aware that you will require these documents for the common water and sewer services.

[9/13/07] See redlines for additional comments. Please return all redlines with you next
submittal. Will need a revised signed easement dedication or letter of intent for the off -site
drainage easement prior to scheduling a hearing. All current comments can be addressed
at final compliance review.
All redlines have been returned. As we discussed earlier, no offsite drainage easement will
be required due to the limited amount of flows going to the alley from this property.
Number: 58 Created: 9/13/2007
[9/13/07] Please see the comments regarding the separate drainage easement document.
Please use the standard easement dedication template provided with attorney certification
page (I can email this document on request) and attach an Exhibit "A" Map to the document.
A $250 easement document review fee must be paid to the City. Prior to scheduling a
hearing, a letter of intent or signed easement dedication must be submitted.
No drainage easement required.
Number: 59 Created: 9/13/2007
[9/13/07] Please provide detailed site plan data regarding the exact number of residential
units, commercial/retail area (SF) and gross site area (ac) so we can accurately calculate
the review fees for this project. If additional fees are due the City they must be paid prior to
scheduling a public hearing or the City may allow them to be paid at final compliance.
Please reference the attachment at the end of this section.

Topic: Landscape plan
Number: 40 Created: 8/16/2007

[8/16/07] Show water/sewer lines on landscape plan and provide required landscape
separation distances.
This has been updated on the plans.

[9/13/07] Based on the Maple Street sidewalk cross sections provided, it will be necessary
to widen the sidewalk to a min. of 8 feet wide adjacent to the retaining walls. If desired, you
may taper the walks or maintain 8 feet in width continuously. A flat landing mid way is also
required where the sidewalks slope at 5 percent adjacent to the retaining walls to be A.D.A
compliant. Please see the redlines for clarification. Provide adequate spot elevations to
show mid way flat landing areas.
The width has been updated on the plans. The length of the ramp does not require a
mid landing area.
Number: 52 Created: 9/13/2007
[9/13/07] The retaining walls within the ROW adjacent to the sidewalks will require hand
rails or possibly seat walls for safety and ADA compliance.
Hand rails have been added to the top of the retaining wall.
Number: 53 Created: 9/13/2007
[9/13/07] The planters and steps mid block on Maple should be revised such that the
planters are not extending into the sidewalk area. Try to keep them entirely within the
parkway strip.
This has been updated on the plans.
Number: 54 Created: 9/13/2007
[9/13/07] There appears to be planters being shown within the sidewalk area along
Meldrum. The City would prefer not to have planter boxes encroaching into the sidewalk
space. Please also show how doorways will function on the building fronting Meldrum. No
doorways may swing into the ROW.
The planters have been removed.
Number: 55 Created: 9/13/2007
[9/13/07] Please provide more information on the plan for constructing the sidewalk chase
that drains the alley. Spot elevations, dimensions etc... Provide a blow up detail if needed.
The metal plate on the chase needs to extend 1 foot past the concrete on both sides.
The sidewalk chase has been removed because the flows are less than 0.5 Us for the
2 year storm.
Number: 56 Created: 9/13/2007
[9/13/07] Alley Design - Please provide additional plan view information such as sidewalk
widths, truncated dome panels, concrete pan in the alley etc.... See sheet RD01 of the
redlines for clarification.

Number: 7 Created: 8/14/2007
[9/13/07] Please call out all new C&G to be constructed or reconstructed on Maple &
Meldrum. Provide dimensions.
[8/14/07] Clearly show, dimension and label on the Utility Plan sheet all new and
reconstructed curb and gutter to be installed on Maple and Meldrum. Show the approximate
limits of street cuts needed for all work in the existing street (i.e. curb and gutter, driveways,
utility service connections etc...). Add the standard street cut note to the plans.
This has been updated on the plans.
Number: 11 Created: 8/14/2007
[9/13/07] Please show the westerly side of the driveway intersection to be constructed at 90
degrees with the street. This will narrow the driveway slightly but it is still adequate for alley
access. The easterly side can remain skewed to avoid relocation of the vaults.
[8/14/07] The alley intersection driveway will need to be reconstructed per LCUASS
Drawing 803 provided. A few things to be noted regarding this standard intersection design:
Pedestrian ramps are required on both sides of the driveway. No more than 0.5 cfs for the
Design 2 year storm may drain over the sidewalk (alley flows and detention area flows
combined). No part of the building structure may encroach into the ROW dedicated at the
corner for sight distance. The driveway shall intersect Maple Street at 90 degrees with
radius corners on both sides.
This has been updated on the plans.
Number: 18 Created: 8/14/2007
[9/13/07] Please provide pipe elevations and describe or show how the pipe will outlet to
the alley. If you are proposing a single point pipe discharge to the alley then you will need to
install a standard concrete pan in the alley to convey the concentrated flows to the gutter
pan on the east side of the alley. See redlines for clarification.
[8/14/07] Please remove the deck from the grading plan and show the proposed outfall
concrete drainage channel between the buildings to the alley. Provide flowline elevations.
The outfall to the alley has been removed from the plans.
Number: 20 Created: 8/14/2007
[9/13/07] All LCUASS standard details for the sidewalks, C&G, chase drain etc... are
required at final compliance.
[8/14/07] Construction details will be required at the final compliance review stage.
The details have been added to the plans.

Topic: Lighting Plan
Number: 75 Created: 9/24/2007
[9/24/07] The lighting plan looks very good in terms of fixtures and light levels. A few small
comments: please label the fixtures' cut sheets with the fixture name (WP1,2, P1, RR1) for
easier reference; add a cut sheet for P1, adjust LLF to 1.0, use a house side shield, adjust
light level or adjust fixture placement to reduce or preferably eliminate light spill onto
neighbor to north's property. A couple other minor comments on redlines. Please return
redlines with next submittal.
This has been updated on the photometric plans.
Topic: Plat
Number: 72 Created: 9/19/2007

[9/13/07] Please remove Fort Collins, CO from the title on the Utility Plan Cover sheet. All
of the plan titles should be identical and match the Plat title. The legal description sub -title
provides the location.
[8/14/07] All of the plans should have identical titles and should match the title of the Plat
(i.e. Solar Village Maple Subdivision)
This has been updated on the plans.
Number: 5 Created: 8/14/2007
[9/13/07] The City has approved the variance requests as submitted however, since the
structural column at the southeast corner and other improvements will be allowed we prefer
not to have this corner dedicated as ROW or an easement. Please remove all references
on the plans that show this corner as ROW. Please submit a new variance request modified
to request no ROW or easement dedication at this corner.
[8/14/07] Clearly show and label all ROW dimensions from centerline on Maple and
Meldrum. No utility easements have been shown or dedicated on the plat. Please submit a
variance request to this standard and list the variance on note no. 48 in the General Notes
section.
A new variance request has been submitted.

[9/18/07] The bike racks shown on the site plan do not jive with the bike racks shown in the
detail. Which is it? Be sure to locate the bike racks so that bikes can access both sides on
concrete and such that parked bikes will not obstruct walkways or accessible ramps.
The bike racks have been updated on the plans with increased access.
Number: 68 Created: 9/18/2007
[9/18/07] Please remove or identify miscellaneous items redlined on the plans.

This has been updated on the plans.
Number: 26 Created: 8/14/2007
[9/19/07] There are still some key dimensions missing. I've indicated them on the redlines.
[8/14/07] Please dimension alley, drive aisles, setbacks, buildings, sidewalks and
walkways.
This has been updated on the plans.
Topic: Elevations
Number: 29 Created: 8/14/2007
(9/19/07] 1 have not received the visual or written analysis.
[8/14/07] You are correct that in the Downtown Civic Center Subdistrict the maximum
building height is 45 feet, however, there is a general standard that applies to buildings city-
wide over 40 feet, which requires a special height review. The Review Standards are
located in Section 3.5.1 (G). There are a few additional submittal items that are required too
including a shadow study, a visual analysis and a written analysis. These must be reviewed
prior to your administrative hearing.
This has been submitted.
Number: 30 Created: 8/14/2007
[9/19/07] I'm still not convinced about the north elevation. It is somewhat hard to glean the
design given that the software you use is primarily modeling software but I'd like to discuss
this some more or perhaps see some perspectives of this side.
[8/14/07] 1 have a number of concerns about the architectural detailing and materials on the
elevations. Please see redlines.
Please let me know if you need any further information.
Topic: Landscape plan
Number: 71 Created: 9/19/2007
[9/19/07] Add another approved street tree to the west side of the plan, where indicated on
my redlined landscape plan.
This has been updated on the plans.
