Topic: WaterMastewater
Number: 7 Created: 10/7/2008
[10/7/08] There is a sanitary sewer in an E/W alignment in the vicinity of the trash enclosure
that is not shown on the site plan. This sewer terminates at a manhole in the parking/drive
area. (This may not be a factor if the generator has been eliminated from the project.)
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) 221-6206.
Sincerely,

[10/10/08] Will there be any lighting associated with this project at the site? If so, you will
need to prepare a photometric lighting plan including cut sheets of the proposed fixtures.
Fixtures must be full cut off, fully shielded and down directional. Lighting should be as
minimal as possible at this site.

Topic: Site plan
Number: 8 Created: 10/8/2008
[10/8/08] While the adjacent area has some definition, the park area of concern is the
pedestrian bridge of the two canals. The extension of the building height is clearly visible
from this area. Per Section 3.4.1(E) of the land use Code, any features or habitat within
500' of the property are to be considered and evaluated. Visual impact is one criterion to be
addressed. Prepare photo simulations as viewed from the bridge showing:
1. Existing views
2. Proposed additions
3. Add proposed trees and shrubs to demonstrate that screening can be accomplished to
minimize visual impacts.
Call Dana Leavitt (970-224-6143) to set up a meeting to visit the site and identify the
location for the photographs.
Topic: Landscape Plan
Number: 9 Created: 10/8/2008
[10/8/08] The plan shows a utility easement from the trash enclosure to the wireless shelter.
This implies that some kind of utility line will be within the easement. The proposed line will
severely impact al lot the existing shrubs along the existing walk and the roots of several
trees. The location of the easement will have to be reconsidered due to the potential
impacts to the existing vegetation. Identify any construction methods to be used in this area
that will eliminate impacts to the vegetation.
Number: 10 Created: 10/8/2008
[10/8/08] Some of the proposed plantings will not be sufficient as a landscape buffer. In
particular, the japanese tree lilacs will not have enough height nor breadth to achieve the
appropriate visual buffer.
Number: 12 Created: 10/8/2008
[10/8/08] The plan does not differentiate between existing and proposed shrubs. Show the
two with different graphics. The existing plant symbols appear to have been taken from the
original landscape plan for the senior center. Show all existing plant material at current size.
Show proposed plant material at a mature size (10 years). Notes regarding trees and
shrubs to remain do not reflect the impacts from the location of the proposed line at the
Appleton connector to the wireless shelter.
Number: 13 Created: 10/8/2008
[10/8/08] Use a common scale on landscape plan, such as 1" = 10' or similar.
Number: 15 Created: 10/8/2008
[10/8/08] The redline landscape plan has numerous comments regarding notes and
concerns about the representation of information. Respond to these comments. Also,

your neighborhood meeting before submitting these plans for review. You must schedule
and have the meeting before any further review is done. Contact me to schedule this

[10/10/08] What is an appleton connector? Will it be on the inside or outside of the trash
enclosure? You will need to add a detail of what this will look like in elevation.

[10/10/08] Please remove the enlarged site plan on pg. Z2. Show new transformer. If not

[10/10/08] On page Z5, show only proposed landscaping (or bold it) on the proposed

[10/10/08] In your response letter, you say you have addressed the drawing comments but
those below have not been done. See redlines for additional information.
Drawing comments (repeated from conceptual review comment letter):
+Cover sheet: correct the vicinity map, change the name of the project to "Fort Collins
Senior Center Verizon Wireless Telecommunication Facility" here and on each page.
+Page ZI: Clarify drawings with shading for flat roof sections as well as pitched. Show
driveways and parking lot, show existing landscaping to scale. Clearly show what elements
of the existing landscaping are proposed to be removed and which are proposed to be
planted with the project. Mitigation will be required for any removal of significant
landscaping.
+Page Z2: Show existing trees to scale.
+Provide photo simulations of all three installations from significant viewpoints. See Dana's
comments below for more information.
