Comment Number: 3 Comment Originated: 08/15/2012 08/15/2012:. As we have discussed, Section 4.17(D)(1)(b) which is the standard addressing the requirement for creating outdoor spaces and linking them with a continuous connecting walkway, remains an issue. Current Planning interprets this standard in such a way that the Site Plan does not yet comply. As indicated, the path terminates in a parking lot. This path should continue as indicated by dashed line. This path may continue to be crusher fines. At its termination, it can include such features as a picnic table, benches, interpretative signage or a landscape feature (softscape or hardscape). Comment Number: 4 Comment Originated: 08/15/2012 08/15/2012: Staff remains concerned about the north elevation and compliance with Section 4.17(D)(3)(c) - Height and Mass. This standard requires that building mass be terraced back from the river to one story. It is difficult to assess the effectiveness of the proposed terracing. The north elevation perspective indicates that there may be greater than a one-story height along the river. This issue needs further discussion. Comment Number: 5 Comment Originated: 08/15/2012 08115/2012: Also along the north elevation, there is an indication that the exterior materials are board formed concrete as well as Masonville sandstone rubble. It is not clear as to the extent of the exposure of the concrete is vis a vis the river. Please note that Section 4.17(D)(4) requires that walls complement nearby buildings or be brick, stone or other masonry. Comment Number: 6 Comment Originated: 08/15/2012 08/15/2012: On the Lighting Plan, it appears that the AA3T parking lot fixture with double fixtures is excessivegiventhe proximity to the river -and the dwelling units.- The -level -of lighting around this fixture has the potential of being intrusive. The parking lot lighting looks to be sufficient if this fixture were eliminated or reduced to a single fixture. Comment Number: 7 Comment Originated: 08/15/2012 08/15/2012: The AA3 fixture closest to the river should be equipped with a back -side shield to prevent light spillage. Comment Number: 8 Comment Originated: 08/15/2012 08/15/2012: 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. Comment Number: 9 Comment Originated: 08/15/2012 08/15/2012: On the shadow analysis, please provide the condition at both 9:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. on the winter solstice.

If the design is deemed to be a sign then this would need approval through a separate permitting process (sign permit). Comment Number: 2 Comment Originated: 08/07/2012 08/07/2012: Land Use Code 3.2.1(D)(3) There is a minimum species diversity requirement. The landscape plan shall include species and quantities of existing and new plantings of trees in order to verify compliance. Comment Number: 3 Comment Originated: 08/07/2012 08/07/2012: On the site plan remove on street parking spaces and bike racks in the Right of way from parking quantities. Required ADA spaces shall be located on the property proposed plan indicates only two on the property when the requirement for 65 off-street parking spaces is at least 3 of those are to be ADA spaces. A note needs to be added that if the phases are not completed within five years of approval of the Final Development Plan that those not completed will need to be reviewed by minor amendment to bring the site into compliance with the current code of the future time. Comment Number: 4 Comment Originated: 08/07/2012 08/07/2012: The trash/recycling enclosure needs to be labeled on the site plan. In addition it -i" unclear at this time how trash/fecycling removal will function -behind the transformer. Comment Number: 5 Comment Originated: 08/07/2012 08/07/2012: Site plan indicates the above ground TV vault along the Linden St. It is unclear how this will be screened. It is suggested to make this either a below grade vault or to move this to behind the fenced area by the trash enclosure. Where are the gas and electric meters? How are they screened? Comment Number: 6 Comment Originated: 08/07/2012 08/07/2012: With the retaining wall being at least 5 ft from the north wall this portion of the building can be determined one story if the retaining wall extends the full length of the wall. Possible still need a modification pending other staff comments.

It should be shown that the flows are equal to or less than the existing flows. Presently there is a berm preventing these flows from flowing to the river so this may be a change from the existing condition. If so what are the affects of the sheet flow on the stability of the river bank? Comment Number: 11 Comment Originated: 08/07/2012 08/07/2012: Detailed review of the calculations submitted was not performed during this initial review but will be checked in more detail during the next round of review. The next round of review should also include modeling of the outfall system and in particular interest is the capacity of the outfall pipe from the Bay Saver and the affects on the upstream system of tying into this existing outfall. Comment Number: 12 Comment Originated: 08/07/2012 08/07/2012: During final plan review the detail is needed to be shown on the plan set for how the driveway and grading is to be accomplished in the vicinity of the Bay Saver.

Mitigation measures may be required. The ability of the City to complete Master Plan improvements in the future needs to be preserved. Comment Number: 2 Comment Originated: 08/07/2012 08/07/2012: The Tree Mitigation Plan and any Landscape Plan needs to be integrated with the bank stability analysis. If the final plan calls for planting or removal of trees/shrubs in the floodway, notes regarding construction in the floodway will need to be added including the need for a floodplain use permit, documentation of no -rise, bank protection measures, etc. Comment Number: 3 Comment Originated: 08/07/2012 08/07/2012: Site Plan, Sheets C400 and C500 - Needs to show and label the 500-year floodplain Comment Number: 4 Comment Originated: 08/07/2012 08/07/2012: Site Plan - Need to include a note regarding the prohibition of critical facilities.

P.7 Discuss critical facilities prohibition d. P. 7 Discuss the need for a floodplain use permit for any work in the floodplain and a no -rise certification for any work in the floodway. Comment Number: 7 Comment Originated: 08/07/2012 08/07/2012: Please see 50% and 100% development review checklists for items needed. Topic: General Comment Number: 8 Comment Originated: 08/07/2012 08/07/2012: 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. Comment Number: 9 Comment Originated: 08/07/2012 08/07/2012: Basin OS1 is planned to directed to Linden St. Therefore the capacity of Linden 4 St. needs to be verified and document the complete path of the outfall to the river. Comment Number: 3 Comment Originated: 08/08/2012 08/08/2012: Please provide information if their will be wildlife impact from the proposed pruning and removal of trees along the River edge. Comment Number: 4 Comment Originated: 08/08/2012 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. Comment Number: 5 Comment Originated: 08/08/2012 08108/2012: Will there be any grading within the drip line of any of the existing trees? If so review in an on site meeting with the City Forester. Comment Number: 6 Comment Originated: 08/08/2012 08/08/2012:: Tree protection note #2 can be replaced with the following information which is taken out of note V. 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 imp ortan_t_for bank stabilization. Department: Historical Preservation Contact: Josh Weinberg, 970-221.6206, jweinberq@fcgov.com Topic: General Comment Number: 1 Comment Originated: 08/07/2012 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. Topic: Landscape Plant 0 Comment Number: 7 Comment Originated: 08/06/2012 08106/2012: Can you please clarify what "uplifting" means? Comment Number: 8 Comment Originated: 08/06/2012 08/06/2012: Regarding the wetland species proposed in the detention area, the only time City staff has observed great success with the plantings is when plugs are used and not broadcast seed. Plugs should be designed at 12" O.C. but can be 24" O.C. if they are larger in size. Comment Number: 9 Comment Originated: 08/06/2012 08/06/2012: More trees and shrubs will be required in the Natural Habitat Buffer Zone. A separate meeting may be required, now that plans are able to be reviewed. It might be worth it to overlay the tree mitigation plan with the proposed landscape plan to evaluate where additional plant material can be placed. The trees and shrubs in the buffer zone area will need to be labeled to evaluate the species and their wildlife contribution. Also, because of the extensive compaction at the site, the applicants should consider over excavating for the trees on the site to increase the success of tree establishment. Comment Number: 10 Comment Originated: 08/06/2012 08/06/2012: In the native grass seed mix, consider adding in Canada Rye and Western Wheatgrass for added variety. Topic: Lighting Plan Comment Number: 11 Comment Originated: 08/06/2012 08/06/2012:-There appears -to be light spillover into the buffer zone: According to'Section 3.2.4 . of the Land Use Code, "Natural areas and natural features shall be protected from light spillage from off -site sources." A revised lighting plan will be required that does not have light spillover into the river buffer.

Do these trees contribute to bank stabilization? What are the objectives for removing these trees? Comment Number: 2 Comment Originated: 08/08/2012 08/08/2012: Please set up a meeting with the City Forester to discuss some changes to the pruning information recorded on Tree Mitigation Plan Sheet 1 of 1. 0 Department: Environmental Planning Contact: Lindsay Ex, 970-224-6143, lex(o)_fcgov.com Topic: General Comment Number: 1 Comment Originated: 08/06/2012 08/06/2012: ECS: The ECS should reference all sections of Section 3.4.1(D)(1) of the ECS requirements, even in this memo format. Please update the ECS to briefly address each of these requirements, e.g., are there any raptor nests? What wildlife use this area? In addition, staff should clarify that, in the RDR zone district, Section 3.4.1(E), specifically the buffer standards, is the only section of 3.4.1 substituted and not the entire section. Other than these concerns, staff concurs with the mitigation recommendations of the ECS. Comment Number: 2 ' Comment Originated: 08/06/2012 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. Comment Number: 3 Comment Originated: 08/06/2012 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. Comment Number: 4 Comment Originated: 08/06/2012 08/06/2012: Please add a note to the site, landscape and grading plans that states "Please refer to Section 3.4.1 of the Land Use Code for allowable uses within the buffer zone." Comment Number: 5 Comment Originated: 08/06/2012 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. Comment Number: 6 Comment Originated: 08/0612012 08/06/2012: The submittal documents appear to suggest that this project steps down to one story where it abuts the river, but the parking garage and planters serve as the first story, while the restaurant serves as the first story, in my opinion. This would require a modification to Section 4.17(D)(3)(c)(1). Comment Number: 8 1Comment Originated: 08/08/2012 08108/2012: The trash dumpster indicated on the site plan is shown as the electric transformer on the construction plans. Comment Number: 9 Comment Originated: 08/08/2012 08/08/2012: If not already occurred, a utility coordination meeting should take place to ascertain utility placement (meters) and whether their placement may be of concern. The results of a utility coordination meeting would also confirm that a utility easement behind Linden Street right-of-way is not needed. Comment Number: 10 Comment Originated: 08/08/2012 08/08/2012: The handicap parking space along Linden may need to be modified pending confirmation from Randy Hensley in Parking Services, as typically the handicap parking space in a diagonal parking configuration has a wider overall width to allow for loading on either side. Comment Number: 11 Comment Originated: 08/08/2012 08/08/2012: Will the building have subsurface items in the right-of-way such as exterior footings and/or perimeter drains that are not evident with the PDP submittal but would be part of the building plan submittal? Footings, perimeter drains, and other subsurface items should be placed outside of public right-of-way. Comment Number: 12 Comment Originated: 08/08/2012 08/08/2012: With Linden Street's condition as a relatively brand new pavement roadway in conjunction with the Linden Street improvement project, the three street cuts shown will result in pavement impact fees with a triple penalty fee. It may be worth exploring the cost differential of the triple penalty fee vs. a mill and inlay of the full width street frontage as a potential option. Comment Number: 13 Comment Originated: 08/08/2012 08/08/2012: Carrying over a PDR comment for future reference. There will be repays required for Linden Street frontage. This can be coordinated with Engineering Capital Improvements. Comment Number: 14 Comment Originated: 08/08/2012 08/08/2012: At the time of a final plan submittal, additional Linden Street design information will be needed for review to demonstrate that a proposed neckdown to the street still maintains a consistent cross slope for Linden Street while keeping the flowline grade sufficient. Linden Street spot elevations and/or cross sections would be needed to help verify this. Flowline curve radii should be provided to verify that street sweeping operation can reach the flowline throughout. Topic: Landscape Plans Comment Number: 15 Comment Originated: 08/08/2012 08/08/2012: The Landscape Plan specifies the use of planter pots along the property line, with the "annuals by City". Has it been confirmed by whomever in the City (Parks?) is intending to provide/maintain the annuals? If this note is intended to remain, should it perhaps indicate "annuals by the City [Department] as part of the [projectlagreement]? Comment Number* lomment Originated: 08/08/2012 08/08/2012: The various encroachments into right-of-way were elevated to the PDT (Planning Development and Transportation) Director Karen Cumbo, for discussion and her input. After evaluation of the plans submitted, including the updated building elevation set indicating the property line, it is the position of PDT that the amount and impact of the proposed encroachments onto Linden Street right-of-way factored with the site being a new construction without existing constraints, are more than what PDT would be able to rationalize as being permissible through an encroachment permit. PDT is unable to support the proposed encroachments as being permissible through an encroachment permit. Comment Number: 4 Comment Originated: 08/08/2012 08/08/2012: If, under the assumption that a design solution is met for the Linden Street streetscape with the concerns expressed in the previous comment, any outdoor dining in the right-of-way would need to be legitimized under the outdoor dining permit process and not through the PDP. The plans under the PDP should remove the indication of the outdoor dining as being part of this approval and would need to indicate that the review and approval of any outdoor dining in the right-of-way is subject to the outdoor dining permit process. Comment Number: 5 Comment Originated: 08/08/2012 08/08/2012: The PDR comments indicated a general concern with the amount of clear zone provided for the pedestrian with ideally a 9.5 feet of area be a clear pathway space for the sidewalk. The response indicated that 8 foot clear width is provided in most areas. The 8 foot dimension shown across the driveway and along the first 25 feet of attached sidewalk past the driveway appears to include the widened curb head as part of the dimension. There is a concern that the widened curb head is being considered part of this walkable area dimension, as it's generally too narrow to walk solely within the 18 inches and pedestrians may be less inclined to straddle between the _curb _head and general sidewalk. In our view the effective clear path dimension is closer to 6.5 feet. In coordination with discussion through Transportation Planning, the sidewalk across the driveway as well as the first 25 feet of attached sidewalk past the driveway should be widened to 8 feet not including the curb head, reducing the planter area accordingly. Comment Number: 6 Comment Originated: 08/08/2012 08/08/2012: It is assumed that the pedestrian lights indicated in the right-of-way is intended to be City Light and Power serviced public lighting. If this is intended to be private lighting, there would be concerns of the placement of a private utility in public right-of-way. Is the cost of these being paid for by the developer? Comment Number: 7 Comment Originated: 08/08/2012 08/08/2012: The horizontal control plan of the construction plan set specifies the area in front of the proposed outdoor dining to be a proposed bus stop. This indication is not made on the site plan detail, which should be indicated as such if intended. The trash receptacle and bench, shown on the site plan, if intended to be part of a Transfort bus stop (and coordinated for acceptability through Transfort) should not be of concern. If however these items are not intended to be part of Transfort's bus stop "system" there may be concerns about their placement as private appurtenances in right-of-way.

Topic: General Comment Number: 1 Comment Originated: 08/08/2012 08/08/2012: Prior to scheduling a public hearing for the project, a letter of intent is needed from the appropriate City department for the offsite drainage easement that is needed to the north of the site. Additionally, a letter of intent appears to be needed from Ranch -Way Inc. for the offsite grading and water line work shown on their property. Comment Number: 2 Comment Originated: 08/08/2012 08/0812012: The driveway down to the parking structure was brought up as a concern at the PDR for adequate sight distance. The analysis for sight distance isn't negated by the proposed driveway being located in the same area as the existing driveway. Sight distance will need to be analyzed for both adequate sight distance for pedestrians along the Linden Street sidewalk crossing the driveway, as well as sight distance for vehicles heading southbound on Linden Street with the bridge across the river acting as a constraint. Is the crowning of the driveway ten feet from behind the sidewalk necessary, as it seems to further impair sight distance for vehicles exiting the parking structure. For analyzing the sight distance heading northeast, the drawings should show the bridge and additional roadway to the northeast.
