The following comments are offered.
1. PI se confirm if underground utilities prevent planting street trees along Riverside in the
way.
2. Thinleaf alder is not considered a very drought tolerant tree. Much better drought tolerant
small trees are Bigtooth Maple Acer grandidentatum and Gambel Oak Quercus gambelii. They
both do well on moderate to low water application.

02/07/2012: The S-1 warehouse for auto parts exceeds 5,000 ft2 and is not fire contained;
therefore, a fire sprinkler system is required for fire protection. A fire alarm system cannot be
considered as a substitiute for this level of required fire protection. This building shall only be
used for the storage of auto parts, and there shall not be any storage of hazardous materials,
i.e. flammable/combustible liquids, corrosives or aerosols.

03/23/2012: A note on the site plan indicates that a fence is to remain along the new sidewalk
section. Per standards a fence is to be a minimum of 2 feet behind the back of the sidewalk
and can not remain or be placed within the row. I do not know for sure where the proposed
row line is to be located.

Forestry Comment
2-16-12
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.
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).
3. Skyline Honeylocust should be specified as 2.0 inch caliper.
4. All trees should be specified as ball and burlap.
5. Landscape note #13 needs revision. Forestry and Traffic can provide information for the
revision.
6. What form of irrigation is being provided in the dry land pasture seed mix area? Tree will this
area will need irrigation. These are good drought tolerant trees. (Bur Oak, Honeylocust,
Catalpa, Kentucky Coffeetree)

03/22/12:lf this lot is no longer a part of the proposal then this does not apply. 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 comer of Myrtle and Riverside may
also need to be replaced 6 if it doesn�t meet current ADA standards or needs repairs it will
need to be replaced to standards.

02/22/2012: 9. An off site easement to bring the water line onto the property at the NW comer
of the Riverside Shopping Center is needed. Per the plat on file for the Riverside Shopping
Center the utility easement does not go all the way to the property line, therefore to make this
connection an off -site easement is needed.

03/23/2012: The plans are not matching. Per the responses on the utility plans Lot 1, Houska
Minor Subdivision is no longer a part of the project, but it is being shown on the site and
landscape plans. If this lot is no longer a part of this project this lot needs to be removed from
the site and landscape plans. If is it to be a part of the project than this lot and the
improvements identified on it need to be shown on the utility plans. Either direction is fine with
me — the plans just need to match and correspondingly show what is a part of the project.
Comment Number: 15 Comment Originated: 03/23/2012
03/23/2012: The plans need to show the new easements that are to be dedicated. Not all of
the easements are shown and labeled on the plans right now. It may also be helpful to provide
a sheet (doesn't need to be a part of the approved utility plans) that shows what needs to be
dedicated and vacated. This maybe especially helpful with the easement vacation requests to
show what the vacation request is and what the proposed replacement dedication is.

Comment Originated: 03/23/2012
03/23/2012: Although I know lot 1 is owned by the applicant, since it is no longer part of the
project I would like at minimum a letter from them identifying that they are okay with the off -site
work that is shown on these plans and will allow it on this lot and would grant an easement for
the work if at such time they sold the lots and the improvements have not been completed.
Legally an off -site temporary construction easement would be required, but since they have
already applied for the building permit hopefully all of this work will get built prior to the lots
changing hands.

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.
ii. 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.

03/22/12: Assuming that this area is no longer a part of the project than these do not need to
be shown on the plans. 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 comer 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.

03/12/12: The new sidewalk has now been labeled as being 5 feet in width. The sidewalk
along a 4 lane arterial is supposed to be a 6 foot sidewalk with a minimum parkway width of 10
feet. If this is not what is being proposed we would need to look at a variance to this standard
and to be truthful I am not sure what the justification would be to not meet this along this stretch.
02/22/2012: 6. What is the width of the proposed sidewalk?
Comment Number: 7
Comment Originated: 02/22/2012
02/22/2012: 7. Additional row needs to be dedicated to accommodate the new sidewalk
section that is being built and to bring the portions of the existing sidewalk that are outside of
the row into the row. Dedicate row to the back of all sidewalks.

02/21/2012: There is existing solid wood fence (how high) on either side of the entry drive just
east of the proposed Future Tire & Lube Building. Presumably the section of fence on the east
side of the drive will remain permanently. How much of the fence adjacent to the future building
will be removed when that building is constructed?
