01/15/2014: Sheet 27/36: Please add an R7-1 sign (No Parking Anytime w/ arrow) on the east
(north) side of the new extension of Avondale and left of the southern -most site driveway with
the arrow pointing south. The sign is to prohibit parking in front of the turn -around area at the

01/15/2014: Sht 27/36: Please add some dimensions to the painted splitter island to guide the
placement of the yellow side lines (labeled as A) in the roadway. Dimension the distance
between the ends of the splitter island at the Rbt and at the X-walk. Dimension one side of
those yellow side stripe ends from a base point such as the curb face, flowline, street
centerline, etc.. All of this is due to the City isn't installing much development striping anymore
therefore we've found we need to provide some minimal design info for outside contractors on
these mini-Rbt characteristics.

01/15/2014: Sht 27/36: Please add a note to state not to include the white dashed line on the
new approach to the Rbt that delineates the outer edge of the Rbt circulating lane (exists on
other 3 legs). In locations that have that striping existing we are letting it wear away and not
refreshing it.

Please add these standard landscape notes. Include the following. Contact the City Planner for
any others that should be placed on the plan.
• The soil in all landscape areas, including parkways and medians, shall be thoroughly
loosened to a depth of not less than eight (8) inches and soil amendment shall be thoroughly
incorporated into the soil of all landscape areas to a depth of at least six (6) inches by tilling,
discing or other suitable method, at a rate of at least three (3) cubic yards of soil amendment
per one thousand (1,000) square feet of landscape area.
• A permit must be obtained from the City forester before any trees or shrubs as noted on
this plan are planted, pruned or removed on the public right-of-way. This includes zones
between the sidewalk and curb, medians and other city property. This permit shall approve the
location and species to be planted. Failure to obtain this permit may result in replacing or
relocating trees and a hold on certificate of occupancy.
• Contact the City Forester to inspect all street tree plantings at the completion of each phase
of the development. All trees need to have been installed as shown on the landscape plan.
Approval of street tree planting is required before final approval of each phase.
• Street Trees shall be supplied and planted by the developer using a qualified landscape
contractor.
• The Developer shall replace dead or dying street trees after planting until final maintenance
inspection and acceptance by the City of Fort Collins Forestry Division. All street trees in the
project must be established, of an approved species and of acceptable condition prior to
acceptance.
All landscape plants including turf will be irrigated with a permanent automatic irrigation
system.

Species Changes:
Marshall Ash and Patmore Ash are used on the project. With the detection of Emerald Ash
Borer in Colorado designers are not including ash in designs. Selecting a non -ash species as
substitution will greatly increase the future sustainability of the landscape. Please provide an
alternate species for the ash for improved landscape sustainability.
Princess Kay Plum is used on the project. The City Forestry Division has found it does not
survive long term in the Fort Collins area. Please use a substation ornamental tree.

closer with review of the cross sections. If ultimately agreed to, mill limits would need to be

01/15/2014: Please relocate the tree on the north side of Avondale Road that is at the eastern
boundary of the site just east of the temporary turnaround. It should not be in the path of the
future extension of the sidewalk. In general I'm trying to recall again why the sidewalk on the
north side of Avondale cannot be extended to eastern boundary of the property as was done
on the south side? The extension of the sidewalk by future development would be disruptive to
the property and irrigation would need to be retrofitted to provide irrigation that does not irrigate
on the sidewalk.

not seeing where the pet station and seat walls will be installed. Also, be sure to add one trash
container for each pet station. (Asa suggestion, perhaps the art students at the Coyote Ridge
Elementary School can paint the trash containers as has been done in various public parks
