COMMENT SHEET
Project Name: A A - sty Ata"-k
Date of Review: / 2
Reviewed By: Laurie D'Audney, Water Conservation Specialist, 221-6877
I have reviewed this landscape plan and it does not comply with the standards marked below
Landscape Plan Requirements.
1. The landscape plan shall contain a general note calling for the review and approval by the City
of Fort Collins of any required landscape irrigation system, prior to the issuance of a Building
Permit.
2. The landscape plan shall include the total area (in square feet) for each landscape category.
Landscape categories are distinguished by their water requirements and intended maintenance
level. Examples of possible categories include, but are not limited to, high water turfgrass, low
water turfgrass, low water planting beds, moderate water planting beds, and non -plant areas
(paved areas, etc.).
❑ 3. Mulches shall be used for planting beds. The mulch can be either organic or inorganic, and
shall be applied to a minimum depth of 3 inches. In order to prevent large expanses of barren
mulch, there shall be a minimum plant cover of 50 percent within 5 years of planting.

Also, locating the storm sewer in the street seems to be a more convenient location for
constructability and maintenance. The City would recommend the pipe be in Blue Spruce
Drive.
Number: 7 Created: 12/ 16/2008
[12/16/08] For the marketplace PDP, the drainage for the east part of the site that is draining
into the proposed snouts needs to be treated for water quality. The snouts can not solely be
used for the water quality treatment requirement. This concern needs to be worked out for
the wetland PDP due to the effect it has on the storm sewers and retaining wall locations.
Number: 8 Created: 12/16/2008
[12/16/08] The proposed scourstop needs to be designed per manufacturer's
recommendations. The City would like to see the manufacturer design these and provide the
design in the drainage report
Number: 9 Created: 12/ 16/2008
[12/16/08] How was the elevation of the detention outlet structure orifice plate determined?
This elevation and outlet design needs to be coordinated and agreed upon.
Number: 30 Created: 12/18/2008
[12/18/08] The Stormwater Department is OK with the north slope along the south wetland
to be constructed with a 3:1 slope due to the extensive landscaping, which will eliminate
mowing. Our normal standard slope maximum is 4:1, so please include a variance request in
the drainage report for documentation purposes.

[ 12/19/08] The naming of documents will need to be consistent among the various drawings
and should also take into mind the next PDP submittal. Ideally, this PDP submittal should be
titled "North College Marketplace" with the second PDP for the building titled "North
College Marketplace 2nd Filing". Another option would be to title this "North College
Marketplace 1 st Filing Wetlands" and the building be titled "North College Marketplace 2nd

Number: 3 Created: 12/16/2008
[ 12/16/08] The tract of land that the City will own can not include the retaining walls at any
location. The wall will not be maintained by the City. Please revise the Tract which the City
will own to only include the wetland. The boundary should be just inside the retaining wall.
Number: 4 Created: 12/16/2008
[12/16/08] The City Stormwater department feels that the east retaining wall is not needed.
The existing slope on the east side of the wetland is acceptable to leave in its current
condition.
Number: 5 Created: 12/16/2008
[12/16/08] The City Stormwater department feels the south retaining wall is not needed as
well. The plans appear to show there is enough distance for a 4:1 slope. Removing these
retaining walls will provide a more sustainable design. .
Number: 6 Created: 12/16/2008
[ 12/16/08] The proposed outfall storm sewer from the wetland needs to be in a 20 foot
drainage easement with the pipe centered within.

Number: 15 Created: 12/16/2008
[12/16/08] With the development being commercial, it seems odd to have Tract A be
specified as being owned and maintained by an HOA.
Number: 16 Created: 12/16/2008
[ 12/16/08] With the proposed drawings showing water, sewer and some storm facilities
being installed, light and power expressed potential concerns with these utilities being
installed at this time. A utility coordination meeting was suggested to discuss this concept.
can facilitate coordinating this meeting if desired.
Number: 19 Created: 12/16/2008
[ 12/16/08] The various drawings should be showing the existing conditions (such as existing
College and Willox) more prominently than the proposed future improvements to show how
everything ties in with existing conditions.
Number: 20 Created: 12/16/2008
[12/16/08] Please ensure all drawings clearly label existing right-of-way, easements, etc.
Number: 21 Created: 12/16/2008
[12/16/08] Related to ID#16 & 19, please specify street patching limits along Willox Lane
for any utility work to show how the existing Willox Lane pavement is affected.
Number: 22 Created: 12/16/2008
[12/16/08] Related to ID#21, might there be a benefit to have the driveway approach onto
Willox Lane be constructed at this time rather than potentially have to cut Willox Lane with
the potential completion of the road project?
Number: 25 Created: 12/16/2008
[12/16/08] Technical Services offers the following comments:
1. Boundary and legal close.
2. Reception number in legal does not match plat.
3. Reception number for 20' ped access easement is missing (sheet 2).
4. Some easement info is missing and would be useful for locating easements.
5. Minor line over text (scanning) issues on the landscape plans.
6. Description of and who maintain outlots?
7. Does the ditch company need to sign the plat?
Number: 26 Created: 12/17/2008
[12/17/08] It appears various stormwater pipes are being installed with this PDP that pertain
to the future bioswale behind Willox. How will these be graded in the interim? Is there a
need to have this constructed at this time?

[12/16/08] The demolition plan in the construction drawing set should more clearly define
the area(s) to be disturbed specific to this wetlands PDP. The plan seems to show that trees
are to be removed throughout the entire site, though I believe this should only occur within
the wetland area. Also the area in which stockpiling of the salvaged topsoil is to occur
should be delineated.
Number: 11 Created: 12/16/2008
[12/16/08] With Stormwater's comments 3 and 5 regarding ownership and necessity of the
south wall, please note that if the end result is that the wall along Willox Lane is to be
privately owned and maintained, then right-of-way would need to be vacated.
Number: 12 Created: 12/16/2008
[12/16/08] Please look to have the underdrain that is shown within the easement behind the
Willox Lane right-of-way, relocated to be outside of this utility easement corridor. Can this
underdrain be moved north of storm lines C & H?
Number: 13 Created: 12/16/2008
[12/16/08] All areas that are to. be disturbed with this first phase, whether grading, topsoil
removal, or stockpiling onto, should be part of a legally described tract or lot on the plat in
order to have this area be defined as part of the approved PDP and specify that this certain
area applies to the development agreement specific to the PDP.

wetlands shall be an unevenly graded pond bottom.
Number: 72 Created: 12/19/2008
[12/19/08] The west retaining wall system is a potential area for a bio-swale to treat the
runoff from the roof of the king Soopers building and the surface of the paved areas between
the building and the wetlands. This runoff has to be treated for water quality before it drains
into the wetland. The size of the bio-swale can be discussed in the meeting on the overall
grading plan.
Number: 73 Created: 12/19/2008
[12/19/08] The new edge of the wetland adjacent to the retaining wall system is to have an
irregular edge, not a straight line. The irregular edge will allow trees and shrubs to form a
deeper transition into the wetland, and to eliminate the current "hedgerow" design.
Number: 74 Created: 12/19/2008
[ 12/19/08] The plant material along the cut bank of the canal shall be 2-3 times denser,
forming a solid slope of landscape plantings. This is needed so that the slope is stabilized
with plant material, eliminating the need for maintenance by the City.

uses in a buffer zone."
Number: 54 Created: 12/19/2008
[12/19/08] Consider adding an existing conditions plan to the set of drawings. On this plan,
identify all of the trees to be removed for the Wetlands PDP, the trees that will remain and
be protected and the wetlands labeled with size of each.
Number: 55 Created: 12/19/2008
[12/19/08] Overall Site Plan:
Add established buffer line for all wetlands;
Add north property line along the canal;
Show outlots and tracts on plan;
Remove grading information;
Remove subsurface infrastructure information;
Label wetlands with total size and acres impacted;
Label mitigated wetlands with acres created.
Number: 56 Created: 12/19/2008
[12/19/08] On all other plans, remove trees to be removed; match up with Demolition Plan
in Utility Plan drawings.
Number: 57 Created: 12/19/2008

ISSUES:
Department: Current Planning Issue Contact: Dana Leavitt
Topic: General
Number: 43 Created: 12/19/2008
[12/19/08] Cut Off Wall —Provide information that addresses to the groundwater once it is
intercepted by the wall. Where does the water go? It either will be perched, thus raising the
water table at the wetlands, or it appears that water will migrate to the east end of the wall
and then towards the south wetland. What will be the impacts to the south wetland if the
water table is to rise from the elevation of 4971?
Number: 44 Created: 12/19/2008
[12/19/08] The cut-off wall will be a minimum of 10 feet from the edge of any wetland.

Number: 45 Created: 12/19/2008
[12/19/08] The ground water study does not address the potential impacts as raised
previously. This report shall address any impacts to either wetland.
Number: 46 Created: 12/19/2008
[12/19/08] The groundwater report shall be prepared according to the requirements of
Section 5.6 — Subsurface Water Investigations of the Larimer County Urban Street Standards.
Number: 47 Created: 12/19/2008
[12/19/08] The under drain dewatering system will be taking groundwater and converting it
to surface water. Once the water is converted to, surface water evapotranspiration occurs and
the issue of augmentations arises. As the under drain water will be draining into the
wetlands, which will be public property, provide information (dewatering plan) that the
evapotranspiration will not create a loss of legally established water rights. This is also part
of the requirements for the groundwater report.
Number: 48 Created: 12/19/2008
[12/19/08] The wetlands boundaries do not match on all plans; cross check all plan sets to
ensure boundary is consistent.
Number: 49 Created: 12/19/2008
[12/19/08] Use a consistent symbol for the wetland boundaries on all plans.
