[1/24/11] The site plan needs to show the building footprint, with the side setbacks shown at
the various walls in order to determine if any other walls on the east or west side may need
modifications. The site plan submitted just shows rectangular boxes, which are really the
building envelope. The plan labels them as the building footprint, which is not correct.
Likewise, the data on the "land use breakdown" table needs to state what the existing and
propose building square footage is. It just states the footprint information, which is ok to be
listed, but it's not complete.
Be sure and return all of your redlined plans when you re -submit.
If you have any questions regarding these issues or any other issues related to this project,
please feel free to call me at (970) 221-6750.
Sincerely,
mma McArdle

[1/28/11] Please include a drainage summary letter documenting the new impervious area
for the site, explaining that the new impervious area is less than the 5,000 sf allowed in the
Old Town Basin for not requiring on -site quantity detention. Also, please include a
statement explaining how water quality mitigation is being achieved for the site. A
suggestion is to discuss how all roof drainage will flow across the landscaped yard before
flowing into the right-of-way, which will provide some water quality.

[1/24/11] The property is in the NCM zone. The applicant's submittal refers to the proposed
use as "attached single family". Such a use is not allowed in the NCM zone. I believe the
proposed project is really an interior remodel of an existing duplex and an addition. The
duplex use is allowed in the zone, and since an addition is proposed, a Type 2 review is
required. All reference to use in the narrative and on the plans must be changed from
"attached single family" to "duplex".

[1/24111] The elevation drawings show the north, south and west elevations. We also need
the east building elevation. If any portion of the side walls exceed 18' in height above grade,
then a setback of greater than 5' is required per Sec. 4.8(E)(4) of the LUC. Since there's no
east elevation drawing, I can only go by the north and south elevations. They seem to show
that the east wall of the rear unit is taller than 18', which means that a minimum 6' side yard
setback is needed along the east lot line. The applicant has included 2 modification
requests, but neither of them deal with the setback issue.

[2/2/11] The title of the plan set should perhaps be revised so that its a little more
"searchable". 716 Maple Street could work.

[2/2/11] In general there's numerous incorrect spelling of words on the plan set that should
be corrected: "remodled", "attaced", "sanirery", "sanitrery', "cocnrete", "side walk", "foot

WATER SUPPLY
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:
• Residential within Urban Growth Area, 1,000 gpm at 20 psi residual pressure, spaced
not further 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.

ADDRESS NUMERALS
Address numerals shall be visible from the street fronting the property, and posted with a
minimum six-inch high numerals on a contrasting background. (Bronze numerals on brown
brick are not acceptable). If the numerals are mounted on a side of the building other than
the side off of which it is addressed, the street name is required to be posted along with the
numerals.
PLEASE NOTE: The address of the rear unit shall be visible from the street, whether by
signage or the actual address mounted on the building.

[1/28/11] Please add a note indicating that: "Any damaged curb, gutter and sidewalk
existing prior to construction, as well as streets, sidewalks, curbs and gutters, destroyed,
damaged or removed due to construction of this project, shall be replaced or restored to City
of Fort Collins standards at the Developer's expense prior to the acceptance of completed
improvements and/or prior to the issuance of the first Certificate of Occupancy."

[1/28/11] As was noted from the Conceptual Review: "Section 3.6.2(J)(2) of the Land Use
Code requires the paving of the alley with the submitted proposal." However, with the
understanding that the property would change from a duplex to two attached single family
dwellings, it appears there is no overall increase in the number of units and would make for
a potential justification to vary from the requirement on paving the alley as. this provision of
code allows for an exemption to the alley improvement requirement for carriage houses and
habitable accessory buildings (presuming alley paving is not required by another
department/entity, such as PFA), and an "equal to or better" argument could perhaps be
made that the impact of this proposal is no different than a carriage house. If the applicant
wishes to pursue not constructing the abutting alley a modification request to this section of
code (as outlined in Section 2.8 of the Land Use Code) should be pursued."
Should a modification be submitted and the decision maker decides that it cannot be
supported, a design for the construction of the alley would be required from the consultant
engineer.
Number: 8 Created: 1/28/2011
[1/28/111 Typically construction (engineering) drawings are separate from the site plan
(planning) drawings. Based upon the current information, I'm not needing to have the
drawings separated (provided other commenters concur with this). Please note however that
an advantage exists in separating the drawings into a planning and engineering set — should
a change to the utility plan portion be needed, this can be done through a simple no -cost
revision process when it's separate from the planning set. Otherwise a change to the utilities
that's part of the site plan would need a minor amendment with fees paid as part of the
minor amendment process. Should the final outcome result in separating the engineering
from the site plans, the engineering plans should have that standard construction plan
approval block and be signed and stamped by the engineer as well as additional information
typically required with a construction plan set as required by the Larimer County Urban Area
Street Standards.

[2/4/11] Something to think about, you are required 2 parking spaces per unit, which you
are meeting currently. Consider showing what that would mean if you meet the FAR and lot
area requirements, pads one spot each per unit, which would require you to move the
building elements around. I'm not sure this is the best option, but is an idea to look into.
Also, look at other duplex conditions in the area, how does this compare, is it
complementary with the neighborhood, how?
For rear half, consider adding information about how you are beyond the setback in the front
because the structure is beginning where the current structure does, would you meet the
rear FAR if you could move the structure up? The big one for this standard is addressing its
intent, to avoid shading rear yards for neighbors and keeping privacy, may want to consider
window placement on that side of the unit for this purpose.
Topic: Planning Objectives
Number: 24 Created: 2/1/2011
[2/1/11] Fix Planning Objectives to stay consistent with the expansion of existing duplex, not
convert to single family attached. That would mean replatting the lot into two, not what you
are proposing. You are not building a "new" home, this is an addition to an existing duplex.
Please correct this. (t U-��Nq ..a-7
