Acknowledged Department: Zoning Issue Contact: Peter Barnes Topic: Zoning Number: 3 Created: 5/ 11 /2007 [5/11/07] Need clarification regarding the proposed use(s). Application form states "Collinwood Retail". Retail stores are not permitted in the MMN zone. Narrative calls it a Personal Services Building. What is meant by that? Refer to Section 4.6(B) of the LUC for list of permitted uses. BHA -- The proposed/potential uses will meet the requirements of Article 5 of the Land Use Code. It defines these uses as: services generally involving the care of the person or such person's apparel or rendering services to business establishments such as laundry or dry- cleaning retail outlets, portrait/photographic studious, beauty or barber shops, employment service, or mailing or copy shops. The name of the project will be Collinwood North on future submittals to limit confusion for the intended uses of the project. Number: 4 Created: 5/11/2007 [5/11/07] Build -to line along Rule Drive is a setback of no more than 15' from ROW line. Since they state that building doesn't comply with requirement for Lemay Avenue, I assume it does comply with the 15' maximum setback along Rule Drive. BHA -- Acknowledged Number: 5 . Created: 5/ 11 /2007 [5/11/07] Maximum number of parking spaces allowed will be determined by uses of building per Section 3.2.2(K). BHA — Section 3.2.2(K) states that Personal Business and Service Shops can be parked at a maximum of 4 spaces per], 000 square feet. The proposed building is 28,032 square feet which gives a maximum parking spaces allowed of 112. The number of proposed vehicular parking spaces is I10. Number: 19 Created: 5/ 16/2007 [5/16/07] Section 3.5.4 (Large Retail Establishments) of the LUC doesn't apply. Sections 3.5.1 and 3.5.3 will apply. Nakai - Appropriate sections noted have been referenced and utilized.

No fee is charged for existing impervious area. This fee is to be paid at the time each building permit is issued. Acknowledged Number: 9 Created: 5/ 15/2007 [5/15/07] In the McClelland's/Mail Creek drainage basin onsite detention is required with a 0.2 cfs/ac release rate for the 10 year storm and a 0.5 cfs/acre release rate for the 100 year storm. However in this case the capacity of the existing outfall system will control the release rate. As was discussed at the PDR, using the existing release rate would be the safest alternative. If the release rate were to be increased the outfall system would need to be analyzed to show that it has the capacity with no negative downstream impacts. Extended detention is required for water quality treatment. The existing pond outlet could be modified if the water quality capture volume provided is for the entire area draining into the pond. An alternative is to have a separate water quality pond that treated the runoff from the new impervious area or some equal amount of the older area not presently being treated. JR —Drainage has been designed to release at existing rate. Water quality will be added to the existing pond Water Quality will be included in detention volume as discussed in meeting with Gres Lamarque. Department: Stormwater-Water-Wastewater Issue Contact: Basil Hamdan Topic: Stormwater Number: 6 Created: 5/ 14/2007 (5/14/07] The detention pond was designed using a developed coefficient of runoff of 0.56 over the whole 12 acre development. This yielded a detention pond volume of 1.77 acre feet. The site needs to be analyzed with the new coefficient of imperviousness and the new rainfall intensity curves. That will give us information on whether the 1.77 acre feet of existing volume is enough for this site. If the proposed development falls at or below the existing impervious area then no water quantity detention would be required, however water quality would still need to addressed, and a water quality outlet structure would need to be installed. JR - Reflected in drainage report.

BHA — In order to save existing trees in this area we have shown sidewalk alignments to follow existing sidewalk locations. PValks have been widened in some areas as per city request. The proposed detached walk on the south side of Rule Drive is in compliance with figure 7-8f of the Larimer County Urban Area Street Standards (Fort Collins Connector Local Street).

City staffs response is that, if the building does not or cannot satisfy the "build -to" lines standards set forth in Section 3.5.3(B)(2) of the LUC —then it-must-be-demonstrated_that-the .development plan satisfies _one.or-both exceptions_ set.__.. forth in Sections 3.5.3(B)(2)(d)1 & 2; or, a request for a Modification of the Standard set forth in Section 3.5.3(B)(2)(c) must be submitted for review and approval/denial by the Decision Maker at the required public hearing.

Number: 36 Created: 5/23/2007 [5/23/07] Question 4 in the applicant's letter dated May 1, 2007 asks if any right-of-way (ROW) dedications are required along this project. Randy Maizland's (City Engineering) response was: Yes, for South Lemay Avenue only. A total of 57.5' of ROW on the west side of Lemay, along this property, is required. So this development will be responsible for the width of additional ROW between the ultimate 57.5' and the existing dedicated width. JR -- Additional ROW where required will be dedicated on plat. Number: 37 Created: 5/23/2007 [5/23/07] Question 5 in the applicant's letter dated May 1, 2007 asks if there are any repays due for past improvements along Rule Drive or Lemay Avenue. Randy Maizland's (City Engineering) response was: No, there are not any repays due. Acknowledged Number: 38 Created: 5/23/2007 [5/23/07] Questions 6 & 7 in the applicant's letter dated May 1, 2007 relate to the sizing of the existing detention pond and the possibility of the City Park Department allowing enlargement of the detention pond associated with this development. These questions were discussed at length in the Preliminary Design Review meeting and are further addressed in Stormwater Utilities' Comments 6 - 9 (Basil Harridan, Glen Schlueter) in this letter. Acknowledged Number: 39 Created: 5/23/2007 [5/23/07] The 8th item in the applicant's letter dated May 1, 2007 asked for staff to confirm the entitlement process required for this development proposal. City staffs response was that the applicant/developer may submit either a Major Amendment to the recorded Collinwood Amended PUD, Administrative Change #1, subject to the requirements set forth in Section X:\3940000.all\3940403\Word\Letters\August 1 Major Amendment Submittal\2007-08-1 PDR Responses.doc August 1, 2007 Steve Olt City of Fort Collins Current Planning Dept. 281 North College Avenue Fort Collins, CO 80522 -Re:--Collinwood-Retail--- Response -to-Comments ---- -- ----- JR Project 39404.03 The following is an itemized response to comments from the Preliminary Design Review held on May 16, 2007: Department: Current Planning Issue Contact: Steve Olt Topic: Electric Service Number: 30 Created: 5/23/2007 [5/23/07] Monica Moore of the City Light & Power Department indicated that the applicant/developer must coordinate the transformer location with Light & Power. A location somewhere along Rule Drive would probably be best. There is an existing source of electricity at the intersection of South Lemay Avenue and Rule Drive. JR — Transformer location shown on utility plans Topic: General Number: 33 Created: 5/23/2007 [5/23/07] The first question asked in the applicant's letter dated May 1, 2007 for the scheduled Preliminary Design Review related to building fenestration and architectural treatments in compliance with the Zoning ordinance, referencing a required 3% offset for the building fagade at no more than 100 foot spacings. The actual section of the Land Use Code (LUC) where this requirement is located is Section 3.5.4(C)(1)(a)l, which deals with Large Retail Establishments. This proposed development is not subject to the Large Retail Establishments requirements. Sections 3.5.1 - Building and Project Compatibility and 3.5.3 - Mixed -Use, Institutional and Commercial Buildings will apply, however. Nakai — A common public entrance/breezeway has been provided at the corner of the facility. Number: 34 Created: 5/23/2007 [5/2'V07] Question 2 in the applicant's letter dated May 1, 2007 asks if the dual storefront entrance requirements were being met. City staffs response is, similar to Comment #33 in this letter, that it appears that the question relates to Section 3.5.4(C)(3)(a) of the LUC requiring at least 2 sides of a large retail establishment featuring operational customer entrances. Again, this development proposal will not be subject to the Large Retail Establishments requirements. It will, however, be subject to the requirements set forth is Section 3.5.3(B) - Relationship of Buildings to Streets, Walkways and Parking.
