Please amend the species selected or provide a justification for why the species proposed are more suitable. Or is this just a mix-up in the symbols used on the detailed landscape pages? In addition, more trees and shrubs should be added to these areas for increased vertical diversity. Comment Number: 4 Comment Originated: 11/27/2012 11/27/2012: Asper the ECS, the recommendations found on page 7 regarding the raptor nest to the west of Timberline shall be a condition of this project's approval. In addition, the Siberian elms on site shall be surveyed prior to construction for any raptor nests. If a raptors nest is found during the pre -construction surveys, then a temporary Limits of Development shall be applied in accordance with Section 3.4.1(N)(5) of the Land Use Code. Comment Number: 5 Comment Originated: 11/27/2012 11/27/2012: As a heads -up, staff is proposing an amendment to the Land Use Code that would require mitigation of non-native trees, e.g., Siberian elms, if they are found to have habitat value. Though the ECS suggests these species do not have value, I have observed raptors perched on the trees and the trees certainly provide the only cover in this portion of the site. Thus, staff would strongly encourage mitigation of these trees in the projects overall tree mitigation plan. Adding the vertical diversity (trees and shrubs) into the wetland mitigation areas will achieve this. Comment Number: 6 Comment Originated: 11/27/2012 11/27/2012: The grading on the southwest mitigation area should undulate more to reflect a more naturalistic mitigation area. The northeast mitigation area should do the same.

Comment Number: 2 Comment Originated: 11/27/2012 11/27/2012: As per the ECS, the site has 17,775 sq ft (or 0.41 acres) of wetlands within the elevated lateral ditch. As these wetlands possess little ecological value, e.g., they are only 1-2' wide in most places, and are only associated with the elevated ditch, the applicants have proposed that the wetlands be mitigated on -site. The applicants have proposed wetland mitigation within two bioswale/water quality areas at the northeast and southwest corners of the site. Is there groundwater data to support the selection of these sites and so the planting can be better tailored to the different groundwater levels expected? Staff suggests installing piezometers to measure the groundwater in this area prior to finalizing the mitigation sites. In our discussion at staff review, it was indicated that the wetlands will largely be supported by stormwater runoff from the site and not by groundwater. Success criteria will need to be developed in the monitoring plan, see below, to address this. When finalized, the areas proposed for mitigation should be labeled as "Natural Habitat Buffer Zones' in compliance with Section 3.4.1 of the Land Use Code (in some places, I've seen them labeled as Natural Area Mitigation Boundary, this should be changed to Natural Habitat Buffer Zone). These labels should be applied to the site, landscape and utility plans. Note that no lighting can spill over into these buffer zones. A mitigation and monitoring plan will be due at the time of final plans, if the PDP plans are approved. The monitoring plan shall include a plan for three years of post -construction monitoring, e.g., groundwater and plant success monitoring to achieve the success criteria that will be established at the time of the Development Agreement.

This standard would require pedestrian refuge on Majestic Drive at the Timberline Road intersection as well as Timberline Road at both the Trilby Road and Majestic Drive intersections. In discussion with City transportation staff we've interpreted that the median in Majestic Drive accomplishes the intent of the requirement even though the median is not physically extended into the pedestrian crossing area. The lack of pedestrian refuge island(s) on Timberline Road at both Trilby Road and Majestic Drive is left as an unaddressed issue. City transportation staff can see the potential support for a variance for the lack of a pedestrian refuge island on Timberline at Trilby due to the signalized intersection allowing the timing of pedestrians to cross the intersection. For Timberline Road at Majestic Drive the unsignalized nature of the intersection leaves potential support of a variance request less clear. The present roadway design indicates that there is additional right-of-way behind the proposed sidewalk such that the excess right-of-way could be utilized to provide pedestrian refuge. The status on potential pedestrian refuge will need to be addressed prior to hearing. Comment Number: 8 Comment Originated: 11/19/2012 11/19/2012: The southeast corner of Trilby Road and Timberline Road needs to be constructed with split directional ramps for designating the westbound and northbound crossing movements. A receiving ramp will also need to be added on the southwest corner of the Trilby/Timberline intersection to receive the crossing movement (the proposed signal pole on this corner may need to shift location as a result).

Topic: General Comment Number: 3 Comment Originated: 11/1912012 11/19/2012: The use of enhanced crosswalks mid -block across Majestic Drive won't be allowed and need to be removed. The use of enhanced crosswalks at the intersections of Timberline Road and Trilby Road are acceptable (though not required), along with the enhanced crosswalks that cross the private driveways. The enhanced crosswalks that cross the private driveways should ideally be built in a manner that has the back of crosswalk correspond to the right-of-way.

Topic: Lighting Plan Comment Number: 1 Comment Originated: 11/28/2012 11/2812012: Please provide alighting detail sheet for the proposed illumination of Angel Moroni in addition to your 3.2.4 alternative compliance submittal. The intent of this Section is to prohibit uplighting and to prevent an adverse effect on adjacent properties or the surrounding neighborhoods. While uplighting is prohibited, the City of Fort Collins Land Use Code allows for alternative compliance. By providing additional lighting detail, the extent to which the proposed lighting of the steeple/Angel Moroni and the affects of the lighting will be evaluated while considering the light source, level of illumination, hours of illumination and need for illumination in relation to the potential negative impacts of the lighting on adjacent property owners and/or the neighborhood. Staff has compared the proposed uplighting with that of a City of Fort Collins Street Light and suggests that the proposed uplighting be reduced so that the illumination levels are generally equivalent. As currently proposed, the watts (26 x 4) is 104 where as one City street light is only 70 Watts. The lumens proposed are 8000 (2000 x 4) where as a City street light is 6300. The Kelvins of the proposed lamp are 3000 and a City Street light is closer to 2500. In terms of reflectivity, asphalt is not reflective at all where as the gold painted Angel Moroni is highly reflective. In so much, suggests a lower watt, and possibly a high-pressure sodium lamp due to its warm appearance when looking to meet alternative compliance. On the lighting plan update, please call out which fixture and the quantity will be used to light the Angel Moroni. This issue should be addressed prior to scheduling the Planning and Zoning Board hearing.

Comment Number: 2 Comment Originated: 11/27/2012 11/27/2012: There is a 160 foot street tree gap along Timberline Road and 145 foot street tree gap along Majestic. The Land Use Code states in Section 3.2.1(D)(2)(a) that, "wherever the sidewalk is separated from the street by a parkway, canopy shade trees shall be planted at 30 foot to 40 foot spacing in the center of all such parkway areas. Such street trees shall be placed at least 8 feet away from the edges of driveways and alleys, and 40 feet away from any streetlight and to the extent reasonably feasible, be positioned at evenly spaced intervals." Canopy trees should be added in these areas to fill in the gaps. This will need to be updated prior to going to Planning and Zoning Board. Comment Number: 3 Comment Originated: 11/27/2012 11/27/2012: The intersection of Trilby and Timberline is signalized and the canopy trees need to be spaced 40 feet from the streetlight per LUC Section 3.2.1(K). At the non -signalized intersections of Majestic and Trilby, there should be 20 foot on center spacing. Please update prior to Planning and Zoning Board hearing. Comment Number: 4 Comment Originated: 11/27/2012 11/27/2012: The interior of the parking lot features landscape islands with ornamental trees as opposed to canopy trees. The intent of the standard was to provide comfort and visual relief. While a case could be made that the generous ornamental plantings are in essence equal to compliance with the standard, a formal modification request should be made. As a friendly suggestion, modification requests should be submitted in the following format: 1. Standard at Issue: state the code section (text citation) you are requesting the modification for. 2. Describe your modification request. 3. State a justification for the modification request based on the criteria outlined in Section 2.8.2 of the LUC and then go into the reasoning behind that selected criteria.

That seems quite high given the context of the surrounding neighborhoods as it relates to compatibility with the surrounding land uses. Section 3.5.1(G)(4) speaks to compatibility and neighborhood scale in this manner. It may be difficult for staff to find compliance with Section 3.5.1 as proposed as it appears out of scale with the neighborhood and community. At the next round of review, Staff suggest providing exhibits comparing the height of the proposed structure with other tall structures in the community (the Key Bank building, for example).
