3.6.5 of the LUC states that all development proposals shall accommodate existing and
planned transit facilities. Currently there is not an accessible southbound bus stop in the
vicinity of this site, therefore the applicant shall provide a 12' x 18' accessible concrete pad for
a bus stop, preferably in the ROW between the sidewalk and existing curbline, additional
space may be necessary behind the sidewalk to accommodate the 12' depth. The location of
the pad should be at least 50' south of the driveway proposed. Please let me know if you

what management strategies are suggested to address the proposed conversion of the site

Texas Red Oak or Shumard Oak are similar and are much more tolerant of Fort Collins soils.
Some designers prefer to use Tartarian Maple in place of Ginnala Maple. Both are on the Front
Range Recommended Tree list with Tartarian receiving a higher rating due to its generally
better adaptability to soil chemistry.

to hearing. The preliminary Plan and Profile is required prior to hearing for a number of
reasons but in this case we are specifically concerned with the south edge of Poudre Street
and how the design and construction will interact with the adjacent property owners. If a
preliminary design profile can not prove that adjacent property owners will be affected then
letters of intent will need to be gained by adjacent property owners agreeing to allow for
construction or grading easements for construction. 05/16/2012: A preliminary plan and profile

05/14/2012: Prior to Hearing. The walkway on the north side of the project (the promenade)
to the that to Linden 3.2.2(C)(5)(a) Section
should connect walkway extends out (Section and
4.17(D)(1)(b). Another requirement is to continue the connecting walkway directly across the
parking lot to have a more direct pedestrian connection. Base on ong- ange Planning
comments, it would also be desired to have sidewalks on both side of the Linden Street''
Entrance to the project.
Is there any way to provide a low seating wall (retaining wall) so that this suggestion doesn't r\�
conflict with the site's grading plan?

05/1412012: Prior to hearing, please indicate how the current proposal meets the parking lot
perimeter landscaping along Linden Street, specifically Section 3.2.1(E)(4)(b) that requires the
following:
- "Screening from the street and all nonresidential uses shall consist of a wall, fence, planter, "
earthen berm, plant material or a combination of such elements, each of which shall have a
minimum height of thirty (30) inches. Such screening shall extend a minimum of seventy (70)
percent of the length of the street frontage of the parking lot and also seventy (70) percent of JKa e
the length of any boundary of the parking lot that abuts any nonresidential use. Openings in the \
required screening shall be permitted for such features as access ways or drainage ways.
Where screening from the street is required, plans submitted for review shall include a graphic
depiction of the parking lot screening as seen from the street. Plant material used for the
required screening shall achieve required opacity in its winter seasonal condition within three
(3) years of construction of the vehicular use area to be screened."? "
-Note that one option discussed during staff review was a 36" fence or wall to provide the
screening and take up a minimal amount of space on the site.

05/14/2012: The stormwater detention pond that fronts on Linden Street is contrary to earlier
discussions that indicated the Linden Street frontage would be preserved for commercial uses
Based on discussions at the staff review, let's continue to review (after the hearing) the ways in
which this portion of the site can be enhanced.

05/18/2012: The pedestrian framework is minimal and indirect. Alignments do not follow
logical routes for walking to and from the entrance. 4-foot attached sidewalks do not
accommodate two people walking together and given the intensity of use, number of peol
living here, and location, the pedestrian framework should be more generous and direct.
Walks along the front building faces should be 8 feet wide with 49 tree grates.
