Note on lighting must also state that under -canopy fueling areas shall feature flush -mounted, flat lens light fixtures. Number: 8 Created: 12/19/2008 [12/19/08] Show wall -mounted light fixture locations on building elevations. The lighting plan indicates some wall fixtures on the King Soopers building, but only on the rear and north side. Does that mean that there won't be any on the front of the building? Number: 9 Created: 12/22/2008 [12/22/08] With the site plan broken up on numerous sheets, it's not east to confirm that there aren't more than 15 parking spaces in a row, without an intervening landscape island. Please make sure that parking rows are limited to no more than 15 spaces without such an island. This completes staff (and outside reviewing agencies) review and comments at this time. Red -lined plans from City departments are included with this comment letter. Additional comments and red -lined plans may be forthcoming. At the staff review meeting on December 31 st it was determined that another round of staff review is necessary. This proposal is subject to the 90-day revision re -submittal requirement (from the date of this comment letter, being January 16, 2009) as set forth in Section 2.2.11(A) of the Land Use Code. The number of copies of each document to re -submit is shown on the attached REVISION ROUTING SHEET. Be sure and return all red -lined plans when you re -submit.

Current Planning file #39-08 Page 17 Number: 36 Created: 12/29/2008 [12/29/08] See redlined plans for other comments/questions. Department: Zoning Issue Contact: Peter Barnes Topic: Zoning Number: 1 Created: 12/19/2008 [12/19/08] Remove sign details from drawings. Signs must comply with the sign code. Since the property is not in the residential neighborhood sign district, signs are reviewed only at time of sign permit application. Showing signs now will give the wrong impression that the signs will be ok, but that's not known yet. i.e. the monument sign shown might comply, but until we know exact location we don't know for sure. So remove all signs. Number: 2 Created: 12/19/2008 [12/19/08] In addition to the site plan sheets submitted, an overall site plan should be provided at a smaller scale showing the entire site on one sheet. It makes it much easier to reference to ensure that nothing is missed. The site plan sheets submitted with this round are difficult to review since parts of buildings are continued on the next sheet. Also, it would be helpful to label the buildings in some manner (i.e. bldg 1, 2, 3, etc.). Number: 3 Created: 12/19/2008 [12/19/081 Show the dimensions of the width of the handicap parking spaces and abutting aisle. Some of the spaces are dimensioned and others aren't. Some buildings don't appear to have handicap spaces, i.e. the buildings on sheet 12. There must be handicap parking spaces located as close as possible to building entrances. Number: 4 Created: 12/19/2008 [12/19/08] The land use table on the cover sheet should provide more specific information regarding the proposed uses. '•'Commercial" is too broad a term. Number: 5 Created: 12/19/2008 [12/19/08] The land use table indicates that the maximum building height is 5 stories. That is the max allowed in the zone, but unless you're proposing 5 story buildings, it should be changed to indicate the maximum height you're actually proposing. Number: 6 Created: 12/19/2008 [12/19/08] Indicate colors of the fuel canopy on the elevation drawings. Page 16 Number: 21 Created: 12/29/2008 [12/29/08] Provide a minimum of 10 feet of separation between the water mains and the underdrains. Number: 22 Created: 12/29/2008 [12/29/08] Add the water main connection to College Avenue and the connection to the main in Grape Street.. Number: 23 Created: 12/29/2008 [12/29/08] Show the portion of the existing water main in College that is to be abandoned. Add notes to coordinate the abandonment with City Water Utility. "Call Fort Collins Utilities (416-2165) to coordinate the abandonment'. Number: 24 Created: 12/29/2008 [12/29/08] Show the existing water services to 1404 and 1406 N College and the south side of Grape Street. Add notes on abandonment similar to previous comment. Number: 25 Created: 12/29/2008 [12/29/08] Move the water service and fire line for Lt 3 onto Lt 3. Number: 26 Created: 12/29/2008 [12/29/08] Add an enlarged detail for the fire hydrant to be installed at the west end of the existing 6-inch water main in Grape. Number: 27 Created: 12/29/2008 [12/29/08] Show the curb stop and meter pit for Lt 2. Number: 28 Created: 12/29/2008 [12/29/08] Label all water main lowerings and include a table to supplement the lowering details as noted for the "Wetlands PDP" submittal. Number: 29 Created: 12/29/2008 [12/29/08] Add the tracer wire details for PVC water mains (Std Details 25 and 30). Number: 33 Created: 12/29/2008 [12/29/08] Irrigation taps? Number: 34 Created: 12/29/2008 [12/29/08] Replace the existing MH where the proposed sewer connects to the existing sewer. Number: 35 Created: 12/29/2008 [12/29/08] Minimum cover for a sanitary sewer is 4 feet. Page 15 Number: 32 Created: 12/29/2008 [12/29/08] Sewer service lines are privately maintained and do not need to be in utility easements. Curb stops must be in utility easements. Department: Stormwater-Water-Wastewaterlssue Contact: Wes Lamarque Topic: Stormwater Number: 81 Created: 1 /2/2009 [1/2/09] The main issue before the PDP can go to a public hearing is providing the required water quality treatment for the entire site before the drainage enters the wetland that the City will own. Per the meeting on Monday, December 22nd, some possible solutions were discussed on how to provide the required water quality mitigation. Please provide a revised plan to the City once completed. We can meet before the next submittal to help expedite the process in regards to this issue. If a PLD or forbay is proposed that extends into the wetland, that land will need to be platted as part of the private property, and not the land the City will own. Number: 82 Created: 1 /2/2009 [1/2/09] There is no more major comments that need to be addressed before the hearing besides comment 81. During final compliance review, a detailed review will take place of the site grading, erosion control mesures, and all hydraulics. I did review the hydraulics that was submitted, and found no comments. Number: 83 Created: 1 /2/2009 [1/2/09] Please provide the HGL on the storm sewer profiles at final compliance. Remember the maximum parking lot ponding is 1 foot. The inlet calcs show you are meeting this requirement. Department: Stormwater-Water-Wastewaterlssue Contact: Roger Buffington Topic: WaterlWastewater Number: 17 Created: 12/29/2008 [12/29/08] Sheet C-002 includes reference to "Loveland GMA' .

Number: 19 Created: 12/29/2008 [12/29/08] Label all valves, fittings, curb stops, meter pits, etc., etc. on the water main plans. Number: 20 Created: 12/29/2008 [12/29/08] Locate the curb stops and meter pits in landscaped areas near the water mains. Page 14 Number: 59 Created: 12/31/2008 [12/31/08] The 8-foot bicycle lane coming from the north should connect to the front walkway along the King Sooper's building. Any connection through parking areas should include ADA ramps and crosswalk striping. Number: 60 Created: 12/31/2008 [12/31/081 The internal sidewalk network should be revised to show crossings where needed. The ADA ramps should be directional instead of flared. Topic: Site Plan Number: 61 Created: 12/31/2008 [12/31/08] Please see my redlines for concerns and potential solutions regarding connectivity with the internal sidewalk system. Number: 62 Created: 12/31/2008 [12/31/08] Bicycle parking locations and rack details should be included in the plans. Parking should be located on a hard surface as close to the building entrance as possible. Covered or indoor parking is encouraged where possible. Number: 63 Created: 12/31/2008 [12/31/08] Please use a consistent cross -hatch, shading or other method to indicate where the sidewalks and crosswalks are located. Sidewalk width should also be noted on the plans. Number: 64 Created: 12/31/2008 [12/31/08] The sidewalks running through the parking islands should be located to ensure a clear path free from vehicle overhang or other encroachments. Department: Stormwater-Water-Wastewaterlssue Contact: Roger Buffington Topic: Landscape Plan Number: 37 Created: 12/29/2008 [12/29/08] Show water and sewer mains and services on the landscape plan and locate the trees and shrubs to provide the required separations from water and sewer lines. Topic: Plat Number: 30 Created: 12/29/2008 [12/29/08] Show the easement for the existing 6-inch sanitary. A portion of this easement (north of the new MH to be installed) is to be abandoned. If no easement exists, include an easement on Lt 5 for the portion of the sewer that is to remain plus 15 feet north of the proposed MH. Number: 31 Created: 12/29/2008 [12/29/08] Increase the total width of the utility easement across Lt 2 (where the water main is.being added) to 35 feet. Page 13 Number: 77 Created: 12/31 /2008 [12/31/08] WATER SUPPLY: PLEASE NOTE: Contact me if you want to discuss specific locations of and questions regarding fire hydrants. Fire hydrants, where required, must be the type approved by the water district having jurisdiction and the Fire Department. Hydrant spacing and water flow must meet minimum requirements based on type of occupancy. Minimum flow and spacing requirements include: • Commercial, 1,500 gpm at 20 psi residual pressure, spaced not farther than 300 feet to the building, on 600-foot centers thereafter • Residential within Urban Growth Area, 1,000 gpm at 20 psi residual pressure, spaced not farther than 400 feet to the building, on 800-foot centers thereafter • Residential outside Urban Growth Area, 500 gpm at 20 psi residual pressure, spaced not farther than 400 feet to the building, on 800-foot centers thereafter. These requirements may be modified if buildings are equipped with automatic fire sprinkler systems. 97UFC 901.2.2.2 Number: 78 Created: 12/31 /2008 [12/31/08] TANK PERMITS: Just a reminder that PFA requires permits to be issued when installing and/or removing underground fuel tanks, and requires that two sets of plans be submitted for review. Plans must show the layout of the USTs, number of tanks, size and construction materials. Department: Transportation Planning Issue Contact: MattWempe Topic: General Number: 56 Created: 12/31/2008 [12/31/08] Transportation Planning concurs with Engineering's comments regarding the College and Willox roadway (see Comment 44). In particular, LCUASS requires that ADA ramps are directional instead of flared, that the bicycle lane striping is consistent along Willox, and that the eastbound lane into the roundabout be revised to discourage cars from using the bicycle lane as an acceleration lane Number: 57 Created: 12/31 /2008 [12/31/08] As discussed at the 12/31 Staff Review meeting, I'll defer the details on how the sidewalk in the northwest corner of the site joins with College Avenue to Engineering - Capital Projects. Number: 58 Created: 12/31/2008 [12/31/08] Please continue working with Nicole Hahn at Transfort regarding the details of transit stops along College and Willox. Nicole will be in contact shortly regarding easement and shelter needs. Page 12 than 150 feet from fire apparatus access as measured by an approved route (from a public street) around the exterior of the building or facility. This fire lane shall be visible by painting and signage, and maintained unobstructed at all times. In addition to the design criteria already contained in relevant standards and policies, any new fire lane must meet the following general requirements: ❑ Be designed as a flat, hard, all-weather driving surface (asphalt or concrete) capable of supporting fire apparatus weights. Compacted road base shall be used only for temporary fire lanes or at construction sites. ❑ Have appropriate maintenance agreements that are legally binding and enforceable. ❑ Be designated on the plat as an Emergency Access Easement. ❑ Maintain the required minimum width of 20 feet throughout the length of the fire lane (30 feet for buildings three or more stories in height). ❑ A fire lane plan shall be submitted for approval prior to installation. If a fire lane is not provided, all buildings out of access (exceeding the 150-foot requirement) shall be equipped with an approved automatic fire -sprinkler system. 97UFC 901.2.2.1; 901.3; 901.4.2; 902.2.1 Number: 72 Created: 12/31/2008 [12/31/08] AUTOMATIC FIRE SPRINKLERS: The King Soopers structure is required to be equipped with an approved, automatic fire -sprinkler system. Number: 73 Created: 12/31/2008 [12/31/08] AUTOMATIC FIRE SPRINKLERS: Proposed buildings exceeding 5,000 square feet for type V construction shall be fire contained or fire sprinklered. 97UBC Table9-13 (City of Fort Collins Amendment) Number: 74 Created: 12/31/2008 [12/31/08] FIRE LINE REQUIREMENT: Buildings that are required to be fire sprinklered shall have a minimum 6-inch fire line unless hydraulic calculations can support a smaller fire line. Number: 75 Created: 12/31/2008 [12/31/08] FIRE DEPARTMENT CONNECTION: Fire department connections shall be installed remote from the buildings, and located on the street or fire lane side of buildings, fully visible and recognizable from the street or nearest point of fire department vehicle access or as otherwise approved by the fire code official. If possible, a fire hydrant shall be located within 100 feet of the FDC. PFA Bureau Policy Number: 76 Created: 12/31/2008 [12/31/08] KNOX BOX REQUIRED: PLEASE NOTE: PFA might require more than one Knox Box for the King Soopers building, due to its size. Poudre Fire Authority requires a "Knox Box" to be mounted on the front of every new building equipped with a required fire sprinkler system or fire alarm system. 97UFC 902.4; PFA BUREAU POLICY 88-20 Page 11 Department: PFA Issue Contact: Carie Dann Topic: Fire Number: 65 Created: 12/31/2008 [12/31/08] Most of these comments I also made during the Preliminary Design Review and the ODP processes. I'll repeat them now, and also add two new comments, for the purpose of documentation. Number: 66 Created: 12/31/2008 [12/31/08] ADDRESS NUMERALS: Address numerals shall be visible from the street fronting the property, and posted with a minimum of 6 inch numerals on a contrasting background.

UFC 902.2.2.3 Number: 69 Created: 12/31/2008 [12/31/08] HMIA: Thank you for submitting the Hazardous Materials Impact Analysis. Please be sure an additional copy is submitted to the Fort Collins Building Services Department, if it has not been already. Number: 70 Created: 12/31/2008 [12/31/08] FUEL CANOPY CLEARANCE: Minimum clearance for the canopy/canopies for the fueling station is 14 feet above grade. Number: 71 Created: 12/31/2008 [12/31/08] REQUIRED ACCESS: PLEASE NOTE: The preliminary plate was great from a fire -protection standpoint. The EAEs shown on the plat were spot on. Thank you. I recommend that you contact me during the construction process so we can determine fire lane sign placement and red curb paint location in advance. Fire access roads (fire lanes) shall be provided for every facility, building or portion of a building hereafter constructed or moved into or within the PFA's jurisdiction when any portion of an exterior wall of the first story of the building is located more Page 10 Number: 79 Created: 1 /2/2009 [1/2/09] With the development and its corresponding roadway improvements changing the access for the two properties southwest of the site, an access easement should be shown on the plat (similar to ID#45) linking the two drive aisles for each property out to Willox. Number: 80 Created: 1/2/2009 [1/2/09] Prior to a hearing for this PDP, we should receive written acknowledgement from the two owners of the two out parcels (restaurant and car dealership) on how this project will impact their existing businesses and will grant the developer access onto their property for the work pertaining to the internal drive aisle and access. Number: 84 Created: 1 /2/2009 [1/2/09] There are a couple of instances where the internal drive aisles shift across an intersection that seems awkward where drivers might hit landscape median. (As internal drive aisle design is not an Engineering concern, this is more of an observation rather than a comment.) Number: 85 Created: 1 /2/2009 [1/2/09] The legal description shown on the site plan should just be the corresponding title of the plat instead of the metes and bounds description since the PDP is being platted. Number: 86 Created: 1 /2/2009 [1/2/09] The plat, landscape, site, and construction plan set should have the title of the documents all coordinated in the same manner. The plat is titled "North College Marketplace Subdivision Second Filing" which works well in being consistent with the title of the previous plat for the wetlands. North College Marketplace Subdivision Second Filing should be the title on all the documents (and if desired, additional info can be added to the end of the title such as "North College Marketplace Subdivision Second Filing, King Soopers".) Number: 87 Created: 1 /5/2009 [1/5/09] We should have further dialogue regarding Grape Street and how the proposed development affects its legal status. As Grape Street is apparently not right-of-way but owned by the City, the City may take the position that with the proposed development and change to the access control plan, that there is no benefit in the City owning the property either in fee or as right-of-way. The timing of the City potentially abandoning Grape Street would need to then be coordinated with the project's entitlement accordingly. Page 9 the change from bikelane no parking, to combined parking and bikelanes be managed? 8. The driveway design on the south side of Willox west of the roundabout seems to create the potential for folks heading eastbound on Willox off the driveway to have sight distance concerns to see the eastbound Willox movement from the right turn lane movement into the driveway. Would this driveway benefit from having the curb line on the east side of the driveway brought further north (similar perhaps to the first driveway on College north of the College/Willox intersection)? 9. Based upon the cross sections shown, it appears that additional right-of-way is needed from what was specified on the right-of-way map. 10. Referencing back to 4, shouldn't the use of a concrete pan across the south leg of the roundabout be eliminated? 11. Again referencing back to 4, please provide a concrete joint pattern plan and details for the roundabout. Number: 45 Created: 12/30/2008 [12/30/08] The plat should be specifying an access easement internal to the site connecting to a public street and stubbing out to the north for where future development could connect to in order to assure access through the site. Number: 46 Created: 12/30/2008 [12/30/08] An access easement should also be specified for the bike/ped connection to the north. The design of this connection should be shown on all plans. Number: 47 Created: 12/31 /2008 [12/31/08] Technical Services provided the following comments: 1. Boundary closes. 2. Please add "Being a Replat Of' and Section, Township, Range information to the heading. 3. Minor line over text (scanning) issues on site and landscape plans. 4. Bearing and distances missing. See redlines. (The plat needs to "stand by itself' and show all bearings and distances.) Number: 48 Created: 12/31 /2008 [12/31/08] I'd like to amend note #43 on the construction plan set, stating that the College and Willox improvements are designed by Interwest Consulting. Number: 55 Created: 12/31/2008 [12/31/08] Patching limits for the onsite portion of the project that takes place onto Willox should be further discussed and possibly coordinated with the road plans. Street cuts on Willox potentially are subject to triple impact fees for the street cuts as the roadway is currently within the 5 year time frame for the penalty. Given the amount of street cut shown, regardless of whether the impact fee is tripled, it may be worth pursuing an overlay of Willox (and potential coordination of this with the road project). The overlay would negate the assessment of a street cut fee. Erika Keeton should be contacted for further discussion regarding this. Page 8 Number: 41 Created: 12/30/2008 [12/30/08] Sheet 8 of the site plan identifies the use of a raised crosswalk at the intersection of a drive aisle and College Avenue. Was this intended? The use of a raised crosswalk at the intersection of a public street seems awkward and I'm not aware of its use in the City. Number: 42 Created: 12/30/2008 [12/30/08] In conjunction with the previous comment, decorative (colored) concrete should not be used in public right-of-way. - Number: 43 Created: 12/30/2008 [12/30/08] On both the site plan and the construction plan set, please label sidewalk widths both onsite and along public right-of-way. Also, please label raised crosswalks on the construction plan set. Construction details should be provided on how the raised crosswalks are to be built. Number: 44 Created: 12/30/2008 [12/30/08] The following comments pertain to the College/Willox plans. As these are separate from the development and also managed by City Engineering - Capital Projects, these comments should be viewed as input rather than requirements -- will defer to the Capital Projects folks: 1. I'm understanding that the use of hardscape splashblock along Willox and College may be viewed as a walkable surface from an ADA standpoint. If such is the case, the entire surface including the access ramps off the standard sidewalk would need to meet ADA requirements (such that for example, flared access ramps could not be used.) 2. It appears that an offsite easement will be needed from the Albertson's shopping center for the construction of the southern driveway approach leg of the roundabout. 3. Figure 8-15 of LCUASS specifies a difference mountable curb construction type for the inner median (and also calls out a colored truck apron). 4. Shouldn't all of the roundabout be specified as being constructed in concrete (at least to the back of the crosswalks that split the splitter islands)? 5. Please extend information on existing flowlines for Willox further east (and College further north) to ascertain how existing grades tie into proposed. Please indicate what existing grades appear to be. 6. The westbound bikelane on Willox just west of the roundabout appears to awkwardly taper in width heading east. This combined with the ramp from the sidewalk to the bikelane, appears to direct a bicyclist from the sidewalk onto a bikelane without sufficient width. Can the bikelane be widened to its full width and not taper, and/or should the bike ramp be moved further west to direct bicyclists onto the bikelane at its standard width? 7. The 10' to 13' width bikelanes west of the roundabout seem to potentially encourage parking in the bikelanes due to the large width. Assuming parking is not intended here, how will the design address potential concerns of parking in the bikelanes? If the striping is intended to tie into existing striping to the east, how will Page 7 $39,057.88, which with the previous payment of $6,220.25 leaves the existing balance due as $32,837.63.

Staff had concerns about the proposal but the applicant could request a modification of the standard(s). Has a decision been made and will staff be seeing a formal request for modification of standard(s)? Number: 111 Created: 1 /16/2009 [1/16/09] In general, the Site Plan set is very difficult to read and follow from sheet to sheet. Line weights/differentiations could be better and labeling of buildings, etc. on each sheet would make for better relationships between sheets. Number: 112 Created: 1 /16/2009 [1/16/09] The overall site plan that was provided for the Parking Scheme Revisions (dated Dec. 17, 2008) is a better Overall Site Plan than the one with the current set of Site Plans. Number: 113 Created: 1 /16/2009 [1/16/09] Section 3.5.3(D) Character and Image, Section 3.5.4© Development Standards, and Section 3.5.50 Buildings all set forth building standards that must be met within the shopping center. There are some concerns primarily associated with the King Soopers building architecture and articulation and the fuel center canopy that we would like to further discuss with you. Number: 114 Created: 1 /16/2009 [1/16/09] The general pedestrian circulation and flow in the shopping center, as proposed, is lacking as it relates to connectivity between buildings. Of primary concern is the apparent lack of any good pedestrian connection north - south in the center. Part of staffs concern relates to basically all of the pad sites having a drive-in component, making good pedestrian movement around the buildings difficult.

Shown as placeholders for potential drive-thru uses? They add complexity and make the trail & bridge connection to the north awkward. Main south entry drive, question: Is the discontinuity in the main front drive aisle intended to discourage drivers from choosing that direction? It looks like a constant irritation requiring a small non - directional course with extra turns in a crowded area. It also creates non -directional travel for pedestrians. Pedestrian circulation: -there is no pedestrian connection to the north "Grape Street" area. -pedestrian access from the south and around the roundabout is indirect, requiring significant non -directional walking. The two large sidewalks flanking this main entry lead "nowhere". Sidewalk alignments in this area should be adjusted to be more user-friendly rather than following the vehicle trajectories at the roundabout and in the parking lots. Some logical adjustments would also increase the 4' parkway strip at the roundabout. We find that 4' strips as shown are a permanent ongoing irrigation problem. -a sidewalk should connect directly from N. College Ave. to the building on the south side of the north entry. It appear that maybe there's a grade difference -if so, are steps possible? (can still retain the longer connection to the north corner as shown if needed for ADA access.) -a few other minor details are shown to ease ends and corners of walkways (enclosed redlines.)

Long uniform walls need additional variation to complement the storefronts. A recent North College Corridor Plan describes a desired character for the North College corridor as a distinct part of the city. It emphasizes brick and stone instead of block; architectural use of metal instead of artificial stucco, and exposed steel or timber structural members. The point is to relate more to either a traditional downtown feel, a semi -industrial feel, or a great outdoors feel (such as with timber, stone, or other heavy, textured materials) and less to a typical suburban feel that commonly characterizes recent development. This may be worth a conversation, and/or viewing a few pages of the Plan online for a little more explanation of intent. One particular opportunity is presented by the fascias at the top of the anchor building — these should feature more significant, 3-dimensional cornices or building cap elements to further mitigate the massive horizontal effect of the building. The gas canopy and structures should be designed to relate better to the architecture of the other buildings. The canopy could have a roof; it should not have stripes; the shacks should have architectural details to relate to building architecture. Although this gas pad appears to be treated as a more utilitarian component, it will have a powerful visual effect that could detract from the look and feel of the center. Page 1
