Basil and Glen. You can submit the revisions when complete directly to Stormwater for a quick
review to determine if the site water quality design meets the City's criteria. We have incorporated
water quality swales to filter and collect water from the site for 4 of the 5 basins. We believe
this meets your requirements but are willing to tweak as needed.

The Following Forestry Comments are offered.
Comment Originated: 02/16/2012
1.Street trees would be required along Riverside. Do underground utilities or other constraints
pose a limitation in meeting this standard? When street tree placement is constrained to be in
standard location then locations back of sidewalk are closest available are pursued. A canopy
shade tree at 30.40 spacing is the parkway is the standard.
Architect's Response: Existing trees and shrubs along with an existing 6' tall wood fence occurs
along Riverside. No space is available for additional street trees. Please refer to the Site Plan;
sheet A 1.
2. Autumn Flame Maple is not adapted to the soils found in Fort Collins. Consider one of the
following as a substitution (Bur oak, Greenspire Linden or Northern Catalpa).
Architect's Response: The Autumn Flame Maple trees are replaced with Greenspire Linden.
Please refer to the Landscape Plan; sheet A3.
3. Skyline Honeylocust should be specified as 2.0 inch caliper.
Architect's Response: The Landscape Schedule was revised. Please refer to the Landscape Plan,

02/22/2012: 8. Near the comer where the sidewalk dips in some additional concrete/ sidewalk
will need to be added so that a minimum of 7-8 feet of sidewalk exists where the sidewalk is
attached. How wide is the existing attached sidewalk? The ramp at the corner of Myrtle and
Riverside may also need to be replaced — if it doesn't meet current ADA standards or needs
repairs it will need to be replaced to standards. The walk is only attached along Lot 1 which is no
longer a part of this project, therefore no changes were proposed either to the walk or the
handicap ramp.

02/22/2012: 4. As I understand it the plat that was submitted for review has been withdrawn.
Therefore all easement vacations and dedications will need to be done by separate document.
a. Each easement vacation request has a TDRF of $400 for the processing of the easement.
The recording fees will also need to be provided, but that amount will not be known until we
know how many pages the document is. To get the process started for easement vacations I
will the application and fee paid with information and drawings indicating the limits of the
proposed vacations. Right now I see two vacation proposals based on the current plans.
i. Emergency access easement — as dedicated on the Houska South plat
ii. Portion of the utility and drainage easement adjacent to Riverside (shown on the site plan) —
as dedicated on the Houska South plat
b. Each easement dedication request has a TDRF of $250 for the processing and review of
the dedication. As with the vacations the recording fees will also need to be provided once we
know how many documents and pages there are. Dedication language was changed and
updated within the last year, so please let me know if you need the current language. Based
on the plans I see 4 dedications that will be needed.
i. Row along Riverside. The additional row needed so that the new detached sidewalk and
the existing sidewalk is all within row.
H. Emergency access easement
iii. Utility easement for the water main extension into the site.
iv. Drainage easements for the new and existing storm pipes that are not currently within
easements. As we discussed, we will send you an easement exhibit and prepare the easement
dedications once we agree on the location and size of all easements needed.

02/22/2012: 5. There are a couple of existing easements that are not being shown on the
plans. The access and utility easement at the corner of Riverside and Myrtle. We also have
documentation that a portion of a drainage easement that was dedicated by separate document
occurred (1999). This easement is on lot 1 and has not been shown on the documents. Since
the entire easement was not vacated I am assuming that the rest of it still remains and needs to
be shown on the plans. Lot 1 is no longer a part of this project. If this item is crucial, we can

A replat of the Houska properties (Houska Minor Sub. and Houska South Sub.) was submitted
with the Basic Development Review documentation for Houska Automotive on 2/02112. A
subdivision plat cannot be approved administratively by City staff. It must go through a
Subdivision Plat/Project Development Plan (PDP) review process and public hearing, with a
decision made by a Hearing Officer. It is subject to the applicable Planning and Transportation
Development Review Fees set forth on the Development Review Application and
