10/04/2012: The gored -out area immediately north of the on -street parking stalls would not be
painted and maintained by the City. The trapezoidal space from existing Linden curb to parking
stall striping to inset curb could be signed as a bicycle/motorcycle parking area giving utility to
the unused pavement and more parking for alternative transportation patrons/visitors.

10/08/2012: The outfall pipe needs to be sized for these off -site flows.
08107/2012: Under the general comments #2 is states that the offsite flows and patterns will be
maintained. It should be anticipated that the offsite flows will be concentrated when the areas to
the southwest of the site redevelop. Those site will be required to detain their flows and treat
them before they discharge to the Poudre River. So a path/easement needs to be provided
for the discharge of future pond(s). , This will take some guess work but at least it will give those
sites a possible outfall path and not drainage lock the future sites.

1. Drainage Report, PA and P. 7 — Please include a statement that a CLOMR/LOMR will be
required for the bank protection work.
2. Stability Report — This version of the stability report is a much more comprehensive
assessment of the bank stability. However, there are several issues that still need to be
covered in the stability report:
• Please explain why only 85 feet of the bank in the middle of the development site is being
proposed to be stabilized? What about the other sections upstream and downstream? Are
these other areas considered stable? What is the risk of failure and what is the potential
consequence to the development?
• CLOMR/LOMR requirement
How can the City extend the improvements in the future (accessibility)?

08/08/2012: Please provide a clarification note that any approved pruning and removal work on
the City property along the river edge would be by the development. Also that any future
pruning work to maintain the management objectives of the plan would be by the adjacent owner
with approval by the City Forester.

08/08/2012:: Tree protection note #2 can be replaced with the following information which is
taken out of note #7.
Pruning and Removal of any tree on site shall only be by a Fort Collins licensed arborist
following City of Fort Collins tree management standards under the direction of the City
Forester.
Note #11 should be changed to read... Licensed Arborist to work with City of Fort Collins
Forestry staff and Environmental Planner to address several small Siberian Elm trees
(non-native) along Poudre River Bank that were too small to be picked up in site survey. Trees
should not be removed if it is determined that their retention is important for bank stabilization.

08/07/2012: The plans, as presented, comply with the standards of LUC 3.4.7. The two-story
element along Linden Street provides relief to surrounding historic properties. The added
articulation, horizontality, and location of taller elements within the interior of the site, along with
the use of similar materials to adjacent historic structures, in addition to those of the Old Town
Historic District, all contribute to the project's compliance with this section.

10/02/2012: The site plan shows that the City is an owner that signs off on the site plan. Is this
solely for the areas identified as offsite along the river area? I'm questioning how the project
development plan seems to show area outside of the property boundary (and subdivision plat)
being part of the site plan's PDP. There does not seem to be an actual PDP boundary clearly
defined on the site plan. There may be some concerns with how the PDP boundary will not
match the platted boundary and in turn the development agreement is typically defined to only
be legally bound to a platted boundary (unless the development agreement also adds part of
the City area being worked on as being part of the boundary.) I think there should be more
formal detailed discussion on how the project's boundary is represented and how it manifests
itself in the subdivision plat and development agreement.

08/06/2012: Three siberian elms are proposed to be removed from this site plan. However,
site has concerns that the removal of these trees could negatively affect the stability of the river
bank. A'best professional judgment' letter has been provided, via the ECS, that discusses the
bank stability, but the applicants still need to provide additional evidence to meet Section
4.17(D)(1)(a) of the Land Use Code regarding the ability to withstand a 100-year flood event.
In addition, the ECS should specifically highlight the habitat value of these three species, if any,
to ensure that all habitat value on the site is either maintained or restored.

10/02/2012: On the graphic provided with the building illustrations, measurements are taken
from the building edges to the top of bank, but the other plans, e.g,. the hydrozone plan
indicates that the landscape buffer is much less. Please only provide these measurements for
the areas that will be treated as a buffer zone, e.g., no lighting, native plantings, etc.
08/06/2012: A graphic will need to be provided that illustrates the varying distances proposed
from top of bank to the edge of the development. In addition, please provide the metric for the
total buffer area proposed.

08/06/2012: Staff appreciates the long management implications outlined in the ECS. As the
project proceeds through to construction (should it gain approval), staff will require a weed
management plan and a landscape bond for the Natural Habitat Buffer Zone to ensure this area
achieves its design objectives.
Staff also cautions the applicant in selecting a landscaping company that is proficient in
establishing and maintaining native landscapes to increase the site's success.

08/15/2012: Carried Over: Thank you for considering dimming the light fixtures but the time
frame described as two hours after normal business hours is vague. For example, a
bar/restaurant is allowed to stay open to 2:00 a.m. meanng the lights can stay fully illuminated to
4:00 a.m. This is intrusive for the residential tenants. It appears that a conflict between the
bar/restaurant and the residential tenants is being built in without consideration of the impacts.
Issues related to exhaust fans, vents, outdoor condensing units, restaurant loading, deck
lighting, etc., while probably best addressed at Final, do not seem to be taken into account.
(Note, we have received complaints from downtown residents regarding outdoor patio noise
from bars and restaurants.) As proposed, the response to this comment remains unresloved.
For the parking lot, has any consideration been given to dimming the lighting levels after a
certain hour? For example, could lighting be reduced by one-half after 10:00 p.m.? Again,
consideration for both the river habitat and the residents should be factor in reducing
unnecessary lighting after a specified time.
