[12/17/10] The City of Fort Collins Land Use Code, in Article 3.2. 1 (E)(2)(3), requires that
you use native plants and grasses in your landscaping or re -landscaping and reduce
bluegrass lawns as much as possible. Note that some projects across town are utilizing
cultivars of bluegrass that require significantly less water than the typical bluegrass spp. For
more information on these species, feel free to contact me at 224.6143.

[12/17/10] The City's green building program has many programs that may benefit your
project. Resources are available at the Green Building web page:
http://www.fcgov.com/greenbuilding/. Of particular interest may be the Integrated Design
Assistance Program, which offers financial incentives and free technical support to those
interested in delivering high-performance buildings that exceed building code requirements
for energy performance. Gary Schroeder (970-221-6395) is the contact person for this
program. This is the direct link to the web page for this program:

[213/11] An ECS was submitted to the City on January 19th, 2011. The ECS was required
as the site is within 500' of a natural habitat or feature. Key elements within the ECS are the
following:
1. The closest confirmed population for a Preble's Meadow Jumping Mouse is over four
miles northwest of the project site.
2. No suitable habitat for listed special status species exists within or immediately
adjacent to the project site.
3. Some suitable nesting sites for raptors were identified in the larger cottonwoods
adjacent to the project site, but no nests, old or new, were located within 500 feet of
either Tract during the consultant's site visit.
4. Wetlands surrounding the project area included an irrigation ditch approx. 250'
southeast of Tract A and within Pond 2. (Please note that though this site will utilize
this pond as a stormwater facility, this facility has already been designed and approved
for its current use (and this use is not changing) and thus, it does not need to be
reviewed unless the current use was changing. Please note that I have contacted D.A.
Black in Utilities, who is currently work with the Ridgewood Hills HOA; D.A. and I will
work together as this pond is brought back to a functioning level to ensure that
environmental issues at this site are addressed.)
5. Noxious weeds, including Canada thistle, field bindweed, and diffuse knapweed were
identified on site.
In response to this ECS, the City has reviewed the ECS and determined the only action that
should take place to address the ECS is a plan for removal of the noxious weeds prior to
construction. In addition, a station at the entry of the site is recommended to remove any
mud on construction vehicles to ensure that weed seeds are not transported off -site.

Use these plant notes in place of number 3.
• 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.
The project manager shall 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.

2. 1 recall the client wanted two "short range" analyses. I'm having trouble understanding
the 2013 and 2015 evaluation differences. The dialog for 2013 states Tract T and N
plus background. The dialog for 2015 states fully developed plus back ground. Since
there are only two Tracts', T and N, and they are being analyzed in 2013, what is left to
additionally analyze in 2015? Reviewing the 2013 and 2015 "Total" turning volumes
only shows differences on the Trilby thru and College thru numbers, but no differences
for the turn lanes or internal streets. I assume from the Phasing that Phase 2 of Tract T
will not be built initially but there is no discussion of the phasing and the traffic
differences. Please revise the dialog to clarify the building timeline and number of units.
Also include discussion about the differences in Total traffic volumes between 2013
and 2015.
3. 1 also recall some discussion of possible senior residences and traditional multi -family
residences. Please include some discussion of the type of planned use of the
residences versus the Trip Gen evaluation types and if any reduction from those Trip
Gen rates were taken due to a multi -family use that may not generate traditional levels
of trips.
4. Traffic staff is reviewing and discussing the College/Triangle intersection currently and
will provide more on any possible changes after completing the review.
5. Traffic believes the access points on Avondale serving the two Tracts need to line up
or follow LCUASS separation distances.
6. The conclusion regarding'trips (1st paragraph, IV. Conclusions) provides different
numbers than the Trip Generation table and discussion on page 9. Please review and
correct or provide discussion for the difference.
More comments may be forthcoming if there are further discussions on area traffic/roadway
aspects.
Topic: Utility Plans
Number: 74 Created: 12/22/2010
[12/22/10] Terry Farrill of the Fort Collins -Loveland Water District & the South Fort
Collins Sanitation District offered the following comments:
a. The District requires easements, on the District's standard easement form, for all
facilities that are not located within the public ROW. The Landscape Plan must conform
to District easement requirements such as no trees within the easement.
b. The need for air relief valves must be evaluated.
c. The District requires fire hydrants on the end of stubs for future phases. The fire
hydrants may be reused in the future phase. The sanitary sewer lines must end at a
manhole for future phases.
d. The meter and service capacity is exceeded on the Type I, 11, III buildings and the
clubhouse.
e. The District will require additional water line valves for isolation. The location of the
valves will be identified with the submittal of the construction drawings.

Color elevations would help in the review process;
- There is very little common open space provided for this somewhat dense project;
Garage elevation shows back side, the plans don't appear to have any garages that do
not have doors, this should be fixed;
Staff comments could change as we anticipate some design changes to the plan based
on our comments.

[12/21/10] At the meeting referenced in comment # 28, Planning Staff had the following
comments in addition to those mentioned previously:
- Show street lights on the Landscape Plan to verify that spacing requirements are met;
- Tree Species Diversity requirements shall be met during final compliance, a table with
% of each tree species shall be added to the Landscape Plan;
- Provide a fencing detail, who maintains the fence? You are using this existing fence to
meet the requirements of the LUC, therefore these things need to be addressed;
- Please pay particular attention to Section 3.2.1(D)(1) regarding buffering;
- What is the wall along the NW corner? How tall, what is its intended use?
- Provide a graphic showing that you meet the 10% minimum interior parking
landscaping requirement;
- Provide an example of the meter screens;
- Why are the pool and the club house separated? What is the program for these, it
seems they would work together, please provide more information on this;
- Several interior cross walks are needed, varied paving is a good option to delineate
walkways crossing drive aisles, needed especially for routes to the pool and club
house;
- Sidewalks are needed in some islands providing walkways to the amenities;
- Please take the utility information off the Site Plan and add it to the Landscape Plan.
Also adding fill to walkways and potentially other ground covers would make the site
plan easier to read;
- More bicycle parking is needed, preferably at least one rack per building;
- A cabana elevation is needed;

[12/22/10] From Skip Armatoski, Thompson R2-J School District:
Referral Comments - #33-10 Ridgewood Hills Fourth Filing - Ridgewood Hills Residences
PDP (8 December 2010).
Pursuant to Colorado Revised Statutes, the Thompson R2-J School District submits
comments describing projected impacts of proposed developments submitted by statutory
authority. Comments reflect information and projections available at time of referral.
Project Overview
The above -named project will consist of 180 one- and two -bedroom affordable apartments
located in the Ridgewood Hills subdivision, currently within the boundaries of Coyote Ridge
Elementary School, Lucile Erwin Middle School, and Loveland High School. Construction is
estimated to begin in 12-18 months, with build out anticipated in 2015.
Impact Overview
Resident populations are within capacity at all levels, and this is not expected to change
over the timeframe of this project. The District anticipates that the overall impact from this
project, when viewed from a feeder -system perspective, will be minimal.
Elementary Impact
At build out, this development is projected to produce a growth in enrollment of
approximately 20 students over the six elementary grades. At current resident student
population levels, and given the fact that there are no other development projects within the
attendance area, it is believed that no relief action will be necessary. As this development
meets the walk distance criteria as determined by the board of education, no transportation
will be provided.
Middle School Impact
At build out, this development is projected to produce a growth in enrollment of
approximately 10 students over the three middle school grades. At current resident student
population levels, and given the fact that there are no active development projects within the
attendance area, it is believed that no relief action will be necessary for the foreseeable
future. As this development does not meet the walk distance criteria as determined by the
board of education, transportation will be required.
High School Impact
At build out, this development is projected to produce a growth in enrollment of
approximately 15 students.At current resident student population levels, and considering
that LHS hosts a magnet program, relief action may be required in the foreseeable future.
There are no other active developments within the current attendance area. As this
development does not meet the walk distance criteria as determined by the board of
education, transportation will be required.
Additional Comments
The District's citizen -based Master Plan Committee (MPC) monitors capacity levels at each
of the district schools and makes annual recommendations for responding to projected
enrollment changes. In consideration of the probable impact(s) of this development, the
MPC may recommend using one or more of the tools described in Section 7.5,
"Accommodating Change", of Master Plan 2010-2011. The selection and timing of the most
appropriate tool(s) will be determined by the Board of Education.

HILLS RESIDENCES PDP - TYPE 1 (ref. #55-84), and we offer the following comments:
ISSUES:
Department: Current Planning Issue Contact: Steve Olt
Topic: Building Inspection
Number: 20 Created: 12/20/2010
[12/20/10] Mike Gebo of the Building Inspection Department indicated that:
a. Handicapped accessible parking on -site must comply with IBC Table 1106.1, per each
phase of development.
b. Disperse handicapped parking spaces so that they are located the shortest distance to
accessible entrances to the buildings.
Topic: General
Number: 28 Created: 12/21 /2010
[12/21110] After initial review, Planning staff is stating that the layout and design of Tracts A
& B in the MMN District on the development plan as submitted need to be evaluated further
against several sections of the Land Use Code as they relate to the setbacks and buffering
along the west and south sides of Tracts A & B. These sections are:
Section 3.2.1(E)(1) Buffering Between Incompatible Uses and Activities; and
Section 3.5.1(B) Architectural Character; Section 3.5.1@ Building size, Height, Bulk,
Mass, Scale; and, Section 3.5.1(D) Privacy.
Staffs recommendations are: 1) if there is to be a perimeter roadway along these 2 sides
then the setback from the property lines should include sufficient landscaping and possibly
other buffering elements to the single-family homes: 2) consider making Building D entirely
a 2-story building to provide a better transition from the single-family homes; 3) possibly
other 2-story building types could be provided (such as a row house concept) that could be
placed at a 25' setback from property lines, with the internal roadway inside the buildings.
A meeting was held with the developer to discuss our concerns and determine what
approach to take regarding the layout and design of the project. Another round of
development review for the PDP is necessary.
