[2/17/11] Water draining from the south parking lot has increased the flows onto City Parks property and written permission is required to increase these flows. City Stormwater staff can assist in acquiring this. Number: 181 Created: 02/17/2011 04/22/2011: 1 could not find the cross-section. Please add it to the landscape plan and the drainage details in the utility plan set. (2/17/11] Please provide a detail (cross-section) for the grass buffer being proposed to provide water quality mitigation for the southern parking lot. Number: 182 Created: 02/17/2011 04/22/2011: There is no drainage easement on the plat. Storm sewers should be in a drainage easement, not utility. [2/17/11] Please provide a drainage easement with a minimum width of 20 feet for the storm sewer in Choice Center Drive. The pipe should be centered within the easement.

Number: 186 Created: 04/19/2011 04/19/2011: More information is needed on the connection of the flood control channel with Spring Creek. In referencing the CLOMR for the flood channel, it appears that low flows in Spring Creek will back up into the flood channel. This will create a wetland within the flood channel. The plans also do not show the scour protection within Spring Creek that was designed with the BRT CLOMR. Coordination needs to take place between these two projects for a design that meets all parties design needs and City requirements. Number: 187 Created: 04/19/2011 04/19/2011: The outfall for the proposed storm sewer still needs to be completed and agreed on by all parties. Number: 188 Created: 04/22/2011 04/22/2011: The City is requesting that the proposed 12-inch storm sewer conveying flows from west of the railroad be upsized to a 30-inch pipe. This is required to avoid having public water west of the railroad bubble up out of the proposed inlet and travel south in the private flood control channel. This option would eliminate, legal, liability, and maintenance issues.

Department: Stormwater Engineering Contact: Wes Lamarque Topic: General Number: 174 Created: 02/17/2011 04/22/2011: Our office's opinion is that it would not have an impact on the capacity of the channel. If the pan were to stay, another water quality option would have to be provided for these sub -basins. [2/17/11 ] The report states that sub -basins C1 b and C1 c are being treated for water quality in the grass swale used as the floodway channel. This channel could be used for water quality mitigation if the 3-foot pan was removed. If the pan can not be removed, other mitigation would be required.

Department: Light And Power Contact: Doug Martine Topic: Construction Drawings Number: 130 Created: 01 /25/2011 [1/25%11] The electric service to the existing Discount Tire store is 120/240 Volt open delta 3 phase. If this service is relocated as shown on the utility plan, it will be 120/208 Volt wye three phase. The developer will need to coordinate with Discount Tire to change the voltage, which may involve replacing equipment in the building. The developer will be responsible for installation of the new electric service from the transformer to the meter on the building. Number: 131 Created: 01/25/2011 [1/25/11] It appears that there is only 24 Ft. between buildings 2 & 3. The plan shows 2 sewer services, a water service, a fire water line, and an electric service in this area. Installation as well as maintenance of these is such close proximity may be challenging or impossible. A utility coordination meeting is encouraged before plans are finalized. Department: Light And Power Contact: Doug Martine Topic: Construction Drawings Number: 132 Created: 01 /25/2011 [1/25/11] The water main in Choice Center Dr. will need to be moved a minimum of 7 Ft. to the east of the location shown to provide space for installation of the high voltage electric system. This may result in the necessity to relocate the sewer main. A utility coordination meeting is encouraged before plans are finalized. Department: PFA Contact: Carie Dann 0 City of Flirt Collins STAFF PROJECT REVIEW [2/16/11 ] It doesn't appear that "Choice Center Drive" street signs are indicated to be installed on the signing and striping plan. If desired (or required) however, wherever street signs are posted indicating the private "Choice Center Drive", please provide separate informational signage (black lettering on white background ) below (at about 5' off the ground) indicating "Choice Center Drive privately owned and maintained". Please provide a detail of this on the details sheet. This is in the same manner as to how Council Tree Avenue (a private drive) in Front Range Village was addressed. Number: 169 Created: 02/16/2011 04/20/2011: Carried over for reference. It is suggested that the plat be used to create a map type exhibit of the various easement dedications/vacations (turning off other layers other than property boundaries) along with an accompanying table indicating each easement along with the identified Grantor and Grantee for each for dedications and the party consenting for vacations. [2/16/11] Is there a reference document already compiled that lists the various dedications and vacations of easements that are required both onsite and offsite? It is suggested that this document be provided for review and will then be used as a "check -off' for verification and agreement with all that all the required approvals are obtained prior to final plan approval. Number: 189 Created: 02/18/2011 04/20/2011: 1 didn't come across this info, perhaps an electronic version can be provided that we can provide a copy to CDOT? [2/18/11 ] CDOT and the City would like to see an updated traffic memo/letter with the consultant's traffic engineer indicating what changes (if any) to the proposed land use and resulting trip generation may have taken place between the PDP (pre -hearing) submittal and with -the present final plan submittal, and the impacts. (if any) that may result. Number: 192 Created: 04/22/2011 04/22/2011: Just as a heads -up, I've received feedback from City Engineering, Capital Projects -Street Oversizing that the City provides reimbursement for the oversized portions of street components only to the extent that what was there previously is either substandard or non-existent. With the construction of new detached sidewalk, reimbursement from the local to oversized condition is only to the extent that there is either no sidewalk or non -compliant (less than ADA width) sidewalk previously in place. Thus the portions of existing attached sidewalk that are being removed and installed as detached will not have reimbursement rights extended to the applicant.

Please revise this profile City of Fort Collins 0 STAFF PROJECT REVIEW Department: Engineering Development Review Contact: Marc Virata Topic: Construction Drawings Number: 188 Created: 02/18/2011 04/20/2011: We did receive feedback from CDOT earlier this week. In addition to previous comments regarding concern on the trees in the landscape island, providing a subdrain, and the use of barrier curb, the following comments were provided from CDOT: 1) Remove CDOT as a signature on the construction plans. 2) Please add lane width dimensions along College Avenue and explain any deficiencies to CDOT's requirements. 3) Contact Gloria Hice-Idler to start coordinating CDOT approvals as access permits, a utility permit, and a landscape permit will be required. Because there's changes to existing accesses, creation of new accesses, and closures of existing, several access permits will be required but these can all be applied for using a single set of plans. [2/18/11] CDOT met with the City on 2/18 and indicated that they needed to have additional discussion internal to CDOT as to how the median improvements should be constructed given the successive overlays to College (referring back to #151 and #152). They anticipate having comments completed by next Friday (the 25th). Number: 191 Created: 04/20/2011 04/20/2011: The CLOMR sheets indicated for reference only, if needing to be included in the construction plan set will require that the sheet numbering be revised to show a total sheet number more than 29 (and the plat should be included in the total sheet number as well). Topic: _General Number: 149 Created: 02/16/2011 04/20/2011: With the proposed landscaping now shown on the drawings some input from CDOT in this regard: 1) CDOT indicates that they will not support the placement of street trees in the median. The City is currently doing further analysis on this and may wish to pursue appealing CDOT's decision (a sight distance analysis of the street tree placement is forthcoming from Ward Stanford). 2) CDOT requires the installation of an underdrain system as a result of the landscaping of this median. [2/16/111 What is the manner in which the landscaping being removed will be mitigated with the median reduction taking place in College Avenue that removes several trees and landscaping? I'm understanding that Community Development and Neighborhood Services has a general concern about the landscaping and trees that along the median in College Avenue that would be removed with the construction of the larger left turn lane onto the site. Will the installation of the new median directly north result in the installation of low lying plantings as mitigation for the lost landscaping. Will the narrowed down median that creates the longer left turn lane have landscaping installed?

STAFF PROJECT REVIEW April 22, 2011 Matt Blakely Jim Sell Design 153 W Mountain Ave Fort Collins, CO 80524 City staff and outside reviewing agencies have reviewed your submittal for Choice Center Mixed -Use Redevelopment, and we offer the following comments: Department: Engineering Development Review Contact: Marc Virata Topic: Construction Drawings Number: 150 Created: 02/16/2011 04/20/2011: Additional comments from CDOT are found elsewhere in my comments. Note though that CDOT standard M-609-1 (both sheets) should be provided as a detail. Comments further herein outline CDOT wanting to use barrier curb, this should pertain to Curb Type 2 (6" Barrier) with a variable depth as further prescribed and dowelling to existing similar to Curb Type 4 (6" Barrier). [2/16/11] CDOT M&S Standards should be provided in the construction details pertaining to the improvements in -College Avenue and referenced in -the plans. The -City is meeting -- - --- with CDOT at our monthly coordination meeting this Friday and may have additional comments/concerns following the Wednesday morning meeting. The following three comments are thoughts I had specific to the new construction/reconstruction along the median in College Avenue and may be further refined pending input from CDOT. Number: 152 Created: 02/16/2011 04/20/2011: Feedback from CDOT indicates that they will require barrier curb (without a gutter) to instead be installed for the new concrete ribbon median as well as the new curb for the median porkchop. The depth of the barrier curb for the median ribbons will need to match the depth of the surrounding existing curb and gutter and dowelled per CDOT criteria. The depth of the barrier curb for the new median porkchop will need to be at a minimum the projected curb and gutter depth of the barrier curb medians on either side. [2/16/11] The apparent new concrete "ribbon" median extending the left turn stack into the site should have additional information on sheet 15. Please indicate a flowline to flowline width of this median. If it's intended that the existing median along the west side of College is to remain, how will the new median transition to the existing median? It seems that the existing median no longer has the gutter at existing finished grade due to successive overlays and the new median gutter would need to then be set below finished grade in order to tie into existing. Please provide spot elevations along the gutter (or final pavement grade if gutter is set below) along with cross -sections at several locations in order to understand how drainage along the extended turn lane is intended to function.
