Comment Number: 1 Comment Originated: 03/21/2012
03/21/2012: City criteria does not allow for drainage to be discharged into an irrigation ditch or
channel. All outfalls for the detention ponds need to be released into a system that drains to
the drainage swale and pipes along the south side of Trilby.
Comment Number: 2 Comment Originated: 03/21/2012
03/21/2012: The water quality volume for the detention ponds can not be in the parking lot over

03/22/2012: Detention pond 3 is outfalling onto the property to the east. Outfalls need to be

property owner.
Comment Number: 5 Comment Originated: 03/22/2012
03/22/2012: Some of the retaining walls are close to the property line. These walls, including
the footers, need to be located on the property and be built without disturbing the adjoining
properties, unless a temporary construction easement and/or a drainage easement is obtained.
Comment Number: 6 Comment Originated: 03/22/2012
03/22/2012: The drainage swale that exists along the south side of Trilby Road deviates into
the private property to the east. If flows are increased into this swale, a drainage easement
would be required from the property owner.

Comment Number: 2 comment Originated: 03/15/2012
03/15/2012: Please provide a lighting plan in your next round of submittal. With respect to
lighting, the City of Fort Collins Land Use Code, in Article 3.2.4(D)(6) requires that "natural areas
and natural features shall be protected from light spillage from off -site sources." Thus, lighting
from the parking areas or other site amenities shall not spill over to the buffer areas.
Comment Number: 3 Comment Originated: 03/15/2012
03/15/2012: In Section 3.4.1(E)(1)(g) of the Land Use Code, the City has the ability to determine
if the existing landscaping within the buffer zone is incompatible with the purposes of the buffer
zone. Please make sure your ECS reflects this performance standard. For example, the
species selection in the buffer zone, such as the Scotch Pine and Austrian Pine, are not
appropriate. In addition, there is little structural diversity proposed in this landscape plan, e.g.,
there are few shrubs to support the grass and tree layers. In addition, I found several seed
mixes in the utility plans, but I need them on the landscape plans and more accurately labeled,
e.g., GB2 on Sheet 3 of 6 in the Utility Plans references the "Prairie Grass" but I don't see that
in this legend or on the landscape plan. Please clear this up. Also, please clarify that the seed
mixes will be drill seeded or the rates may need to be adjusted. It would also be quite helpful if
the units for seeding rates were the same (one is Ib11,000 sf and the other is PLS/LB/Acre). I
am reviewing all of the proposed seed mixes to ensure the species and rates proposed are
aligned with the performance standards set forth in 3.4.1(E)(1). I will also need the latin names
of all of the plants proposed within this mix.
Comment Number: 4 Comment Originated: 03/15/2012
03/15/2012: In addition, while the submittal documents suggest that all of the existing trees will
remain on the site, some of the site grading is encroaching quite a bit into the tree canopy,
potentially threatening the long-term viability of the existing trees. Can the City's tree protection
standards be met with the current grading?
Comment Number: 5 Comment Originated: 03/15/2012
03/15/2012: Regarding the plan's grading, while it does meet the 4:1 grading standard, is there
an opportunity to make the grading less formal and more naturalistic in the buffer zone? There
is actually a bit of room to grade this property in a way that both benefits wildlife and meets the
site's needs. Extending the grading out further into the buffer zone may conflict with wildlife if
the existing vegetation is largely high quality. Please have the ECS address this comment, as
this would help the project to meet the performance standard outlined in Section 3.4.1(E)(1)(f) of
the Code.
Comment Number: 6 Comment Originated: 03/15/2012
03/15/2012: Please provide a calculation of the difference between the area required by the
standard buffer (50' along both sides of the Louden Ditch) and what is being proposed by the

03/15/2012: Please add the top of bank and buffer zone delineations to the landscape, plat,

following note to the site, landscape and utility plans:
"Please see Section 3.4.1 of the Land Use Code for allowable uses within the Natural Habitat
Buffer Zone."

03/15/2012: Finally, from viewing the aerial imagery of this area, there may be prairie dogs

03/15/2012: Based on the revised extent of the proposed development, an Ecological
Characterization Study is required by Section 3.4.1 (D)(1) as the site is within 500 feet of a
known natural habitat (Louden Ditch). Please note the buffer zone standard of 50' for irrigation
ditches defined as wildlife corridors, as outlined in Section 3.4.1(E) of the Land Use Code. As
the applicant is proposing to average the buffer, please address how the performance
standards set forth in 3.4.1(E)(1) are addressed by this proposal. Staff has a few suggestions

standard as set forth in Section 3.5.3(B)(2)(d)4, which states: "if larger or otherwise
noncompliant front yard area is required by the City to continue an established drainage
channel or access drive, or other easement". Because of the location of the existing Louden
Ditch and the necessary driveway access into this portion of the property the build -to line
standard cannot be met. However, a request for a modification of standard is necessary for the
portion of the property on the east side of the Louden Ditch. The applicant must support the
modification request by using the applicable criteria set forth in Section 2.8.2(H) of the LUC.

03/20/2012: 3.2.1(E)(1) Since the property to the west is residential, buffering needs to be
provided on the west side of this property. The 5' rail fence and narrow landscape area
appears to be insufficient to meet the buffering standards. The best way to meet this standard
would be to provide a dense stand of trees and shrubs along the western property line.

03/20/2012: 3.2.1(E)(4) & (5) The parking lot areas, particularly the lot sited along the south side
of the property, do not appear to meet the parking lot perimeter and interior landscaping
requirements. In particular, parking areas need to be screened with a fence or wall and plant
material in the quantities described in the Code.

Access circulator and multi -use path: The South College Avenue Access Control Plan (Figure
5-4 and Page 58, last bullet) and the South College Corridor Plan (Figure 29 and Policies T2.1
and T 3.4) show and describe an access circulator street on the east side of the property with a ,
future hard surface multi -use path connecting to the Shenandoah subdivision to the south. The
access circulator is needed for access to Trilby Road for properties toAhe south as an
alternative to access drives along College Avenue. Please work with Engineering and
Transportation Planning to determine how the street connection and path can be provided as
part of your project. Development of the street and the multi -use path would ensure
compliance with 3.6.3 Street Pattern and Connectivity Standards and 3.2.2(C)(6) Direct On -Site
Access to Pedestrian and Bicycle Destinations.
