There is a concern about the shade of the yellow. Be sure and return all of your redlined plans when you re -submit for Final. If you have any questions regarding these issues or any other issues related to this project, please feel free to call me at (970) 221-6750. Sincerely: Ted Shepard Chief Planner Page 8 [8/25/09] Show the water main and sanitary sewer crossings in the storm sewer profiles. Install steel casings on the water/sewer lines when below pipelines which are 24-inches or greater diameter. Number: 105 Created: 9/23/2009 [9/23/09] Revise notes and labels on Utility Plan (Sheet 3) as noted on the redlined plans. Number: 106 Created: 9/23/2009 [9/23/09] Identify any water line lowerings on the plans and provide a detail showing elevations, separation distances, etc. Number: 107 Created: 9/23/2009 [9/23109] See redlined plans for other comments. Department: Zoning Issue Contact: Peter Barnes Topic. Zoning Number: 2 Created: 8/19/2009 [9/16/09] 1 don't see the dimensions for Building 2 or for the car park structure. [8/19/09] Show building footprint dimensions on site plan for all buildings, including the bike parking pavilion. Number: 3 Created: 8/19/2009 [9/16/09] Ok once I see the note on the final plan. [8/19/09] The long-term parking spaces will need to be identified with a raised "employee parking only" sign. Number: 5 Created: 8/19/2009 [9/16/09] Will need to request alternative compliance per Sec. 3.2.1(N). [8/19/09] Each parking lot landscape island is required to have a tree and have a dimension of at least 8' in its smallest dimension per Section 3.2.1(E)(5)C. Some islands don't contain trees and are smaller than 8'. Number: 6 Created: 8/19/2009 [9/16/09] I. didn't receive elevation drawings with this round of review, so I'm assuming signage has been removed from the drawings, in addition to just acknowledging that signage is under separate permit. [8/19/09] Signage isn't approved by this PDP, and should be removed from drawings. FYI, the RM12 signage shown on top of the canopy on the front of Bldg 1 doesn't comply with the sign code. Signs aren't allowed on top of canopy. Number: 7 Created: 8/19/2009 [9/16/09] The response letter states that the applicant acknowledged this comment, but I don't see that the comment was addressed on the plan. Looks the same as the 1 st round of review. [8/19/09] The solar collector car park structure needs to be clearly shown/labeled on the site plan, with building dimensions shown. Page 7 [8/26/09] Line over text issues on the site plan. Number: 98 Created: 9/22/2009 [9/22/09] The legal description on both site plan sheets is incomplete. Only part of the description of the property was provided. Number: 100 Created: 9/22/2009 [9/22/09] Please change the project title on both site plan sheets to reflect the subdivision plat title. Department: Stormwater-Water-Wastewater Issue Contact: Wes Lamarque Topic: Floodplain Number: 113 Created: 9/25/2009 [9/25/09] 1. Thank you for providing the additional elevation of the buildings to protect from flood damage. 2. Landscape Plan - We would suggest removing the architectural screen wall due to the flooding issues. With additional flood water coming through this area, a wall can block the flows and cause increased flood damages. 3. Details to consider for the future, when the entire site mapped in the floodplain: - No overnight parking or outdoor storage of materials is allowed. - Dumpsters or other floatable materials need to be chained or bolted down. We recommend incorporating these requirements now if possible. Please include notes and details on plans as applicable 4. The intent of our previous comment about Vine Drive was to not have Vine Drive raised, but rather to keep it at -grade, so as to not cause a rise in the flood elevation. Topic: Stormwater Number: 114 Created: 9/25/2009 [9/25/09] The letter of intent for the natural area use of the 2x's detention requirement has been received. Stormwater is ready for a hearing. Number: 115 Created: 9/25/2009 [9/25/09] At final compliance, the storm sewer placement will need to be coordinated to provide a suitable solution. Number: 116 Created: 9/25/2009 [9/25/09] Additional comments may follow during final compliance. Department: Stormwater-Water-Wastewater Issue Contact: Roger Buffington Topic: WaterMastewater Number: 58 Created: 8/25/2009 [9/23/09] Label curb stops. [8/25/09] Show the curb stop and meter pit on the water service to the west building. Number: 59 Created: 8/25/2009 [9/23/09] (Still missing on Storm line A) Page 6 Number: 104 Created: 9/22/2009 [9/22/09] Sheets 4 and 5 need to have the existing contours in a lineweight that will be more visible for scanning purposes. It appears that the existing countour lineweight on Sheet 6 shows this better. Number: 112 Created: 9/24/2009 [9/24/09] I'm assuming the modified inlet design discussed prior to submittal is still being looked at. Please look at providing some sort of written information/variance request (perhaps from the geotech engineer) along with a design detail of the proposed inlet design in order to have this discussion. Number: 120 Created: 9/25/2009 [9/25/09] The eastbound bikelane along Vine shown offsite approaching Linden should be detached from the curb (exchanged in order with the turn lane). Department: PFA Issue Contact: Carie Dann Topic: Fire Number: 121 Created: 9/28/2009 Please ensure that the site/utility/etcetera plans reflect the Emergency Access Easement that's shown on the plat. Number: 122 Created: 9/28/2009 Show the location that we discussed for the remote FDC and new fire hydrant The remote FDC should be located such that supplying the fire sprinklers will not cut off emergency vehicle access to the parking lot west drive cut; putting the hydrant and FDC where we discussed would meet that need. Both devices should be about 5 feet (minimum 3 feet is IFC requirement) away from the curb face, to prevent vehicle damage. Also, the only vegetation allowed within 3 feet of the FDC/hydrant is ground cover or short plants that will not overgrow the devices over time. I'm concerned that the three rabbitbrush plants will eventually grow closer than 3 feet to the hydrant/FDC. Department: Technical Services Issue Contact: Jeff County Topic: Landscape Plan Number: 101 Created: 9/22/2009 [9/22/09] Please change the project title on both landscape plan sheets to reflect the subdivision plat title. Number: 102 Created: 9/22/2009 [9/22/09] Sheet 2 of the landscape plans references the wrong railroad. Topic: Plat Number: 99 Created: 9/22/2009 [9/22/09] The boundary & legal close. Number: 103 Created: 9/22/2009 [9/22/09] Please provide reception numbers for easements & ROW prior to filing the plat. Topic: Site Plan Number: 65 Created: 8/26/2009 [9/22/09] There are still some minor line over text issues. Page 5 Topic: Utility Plans Number: 76 Created: 8/26/2009 [9/22/091 The interim condition is now easier to follow though the existing right-of-way east and west of the site is not shown. It should be verified if the roadwork being done (such as the pavement transitioning back to existing is fully within right-of-way or is additional right-of- way needed). [8/26/09] The interim condition is very difficult to follow and review over the contours of the grading plan. Please prepare a horizontal control plan to provide more clarity on the interim condition. Number: 79 Created: 8/26/2009 [9/22/09] The property lines (when going off the site) are not shown on all sheets. [8/26/09] Please ensure the property line boundary is shown on all sheets of the construction plan set. Sheet 4 of the plan set does not indicate property line boundaries to verify if all the grading can be contained on -site. It does appear that offsite grading will be needed at least to the east. Number: 80 Created: 8/26/2009 [9/22/09] At time of final the patching limits will need to be expanded in accordance with our patching requirements. There will also need to be enough information (spot elevations/cross sections to show that the interim improvements will work properly in the interim condition and that these improvements along the frontage will match the ultimate condition. [8/26/09] The grading plan appears to show curb and gutter on both sides of Vine Drive, which has my assuming that both sides of the street along the development's property frontage is to be built at this time, however interim tapers are only shown on the north side. Is the curb and gutter (and driveway) on the south side not being proposed at this time and the grading plan combines showing interim and ultimate conditions? Again an interim horizontal control plan would be beneficial. Please note that the frontage improvements abutting the infiltration pond will need to be satisfied with this development. Number: 82 Created: 8/26/2009 [9/22/09] At time of final please ensure the information referenced in the response letter is included in the drawings. [8/26/09] The ultimate design should call out what the limits of the design are tying into and show such on the drawings. Does the terminus of the offsite design to the west tie into designs done with Old Town North? Does the terminus of the offsite design to the east need to show a transition to tie into existing edge of pavement? Number: 95 Created: 8/28/2009 [9/22/09] The revised information displayed is far more readable and appreciated. As more information is displayed with the final submittal, it is hoped that the information remains clear. [8/28/09] On the construction drawings, please further refine the display of information to be more readable (and thereby more scannable). There is information such as elevation numbers on the grading plan that cannot be easily read and won't scan (in the hatched spillway area). Numbers, text, and data need to not have any overlapping shading, lines, etc. Page 4 Number: 97 Created: 9/22/2009 [9/22/09] The variance requests need to be stamped; I don't have any further concerns other than the requests being signed and stamped. Topic: Landscape Plan Number: 118 Created: 9/25/2009 [9/25/09] At the time of final plan submittal please provide the following information on the landscape plan for sight distance easements: - Fences shall not exceed forty-two (42) inches in height and shall be of an open design. - Deciduous trees may be permitted to encroach into the clearance triangle provided that the lowest branch of any such tree shall be at least six (6) feet from grade. - At the intersection of roadways or vehicular access points, no plant material with a mature height greater than two (2) feet shall be planted within sight triangle measuring thirty (30) feet along the boundary of each of the intersecting roadways, measured from the point of intersecting curblines, except where engineering standards indicate otherwise. Number: 119 Created: 9/25/2009 [9/25/09] Add "Park" to the title of the plan to be consistent with the other drawings. Topic: Plat Number: 71 Created: 8/26/2009 [9/21/09] The plat now no longer shows these areas to be dedicated with the plat and references that they are by separate document. We will need to keep up with the processing of the easements to ensure that they are processed in time to record and then have the reception numbers shown on the plat as a result. As a backup, I would recommend that these various easements and rights -of -way are "to be recorded by separate document" so as to not necessarily be recorded prior to the plat being recorded given the tight schedule for the project. We will still need the signed offsite easements/rights-of-way in hand before the plat can be recorded, but then we're not holding up the plat from recording should the easement recordation process when left with the City become problematic from a timing standpoint.. [8/26/09] The plat shows areas outside of the platted property being legally described (such as the drainage easement for the pond on the south side of Vine and the portion of the access, utility and drainage easement to the east of Lot 1). I've verified with the City Surveyor that the plat cannot be the document that establishes these areas because they're outside of the platted boundary. Either these areas need to be conveyed by separate document to the City, or the platted boundary needs to be expanded to include these areas. One consideration in this regard between the two options, may be the cost differential between the increased TDR fee of an expanded plat boundary against the TDR fee to dedicate by separate document. Topic: Site Plan Number: 108 Created: 9/23/2009 [9/23/09] Please look to indicating on the site plan that the Vine Drive will be fully built along the property only and that transitions to existing pavement will need to be done east and west of the site. Page 3 Topic: Site Plan Number: 13 Created: 8/25/2009 [9/24/09] Existing trees that will be removed as part of the project do not need to be shown on the Site Plan. [8/25/09] Remove topo lines from plan, not necessary. Do not show any of the demolished or removed items for the plan. The Site Plan should only show the proposed conditions and any existing conditions to remain as part of the development plan. Number: 20 Created: 8/25/2009 [9/24/09] Add to SP1.2. [8/25/09] Add the following note to the plan: Refer to Section 3.4.1 of the Land Use Code for allowable uses within a buffer zone. Topic: Utility Plans Number: 45 Created: 8/25/2009 [9/24/09] [8/25/09] Add a demolition plan to the set so that all of the items to be removed, demolished or deconstructed can be clearly seen. Number: 110 Created: 9/24/2009 [9/24/09] Remove Environmental Planner signature line from sheets 1,2, 7-14. Add to Sheet 5. Department: Engineering Issue Contact: Marc Virata Topic: General Number: 74 Created: 8/26/2009 [9/22/09] Was a letter of intent provided from Urban Development Partners? I would like to see some sort of written acknowledgement from the owner of Parcel B given this sight. distance easement affects that property. [8/26/09] Sheet 6 of the construction drawings sketches out what I measure as a required sight distance easement based upon LCUASS 7-16 and the driveway location. Most of this occurs on the future lot to the east, however a sight distance easement would need to be dedicated at this time with the creation of the driveway access on the current lot. Number: 81 Created: 8/26/2009 [9/22/09] Carried over for reference. [8/26/09] Please ensure that the drive approaches onto Vine are constructed fully in concrete to the property line in accordance to our driveway detail. The plans seem to show them more like street intersections. Note that the driveway detail provided in the details section is not the radius style driveway as proposed on the plans. Number: 93 Created: 8/28/2009 [9/22/09] The site plan appears to have some discrepancies in the reporting of square footage for Building #2. The commercial square footage is listed as 23,400 in 3 different locations, but was crossed out in one location and revised to 21,000. If the correct amount is 21,000, then please also revise this in the two other locations (and the TDR fee submitted is then correct). If the correct amount is the 23,400, then an additional TDR fee amount is needed. [8/28/09] In checking with Sheri Langenberger, the TDR fee provided appears to fall short of the amount needed. The site plan specifies a building square footage size that is higher than the size indicated in the TDR fee that was calculated and then posted.

College Ave. Fort Collins, CO 80524 Staff has reviewed your submittal for RM12 AT INVERNESS INNOVATION PARK PDP - TYPE I, and we offer the following comments: ISSUES: Department: Current Planning Issue Contact: Dana Leavitt Topic: General Number: 90 Created: 8/27/2009 [9/24/09] Re: Demolition Plan. [8/27/09] All nuisance species, including Russian Olive and Siberian Elm will be removed from the buffer zone. A note shall be added to the Landscape Plan and the Demolition Plan describing this requirement. Number: 109 Created: 9/24/2009 [9/24/09] All plan drawings shall show the location of the LOD line based upon final landscape plan location. Number: 111 Created: 9/24/2009 [9/24/09] In regards to the Encroachment Agreement with the Ditch Company, provide language in paragraph three of section5 that will allow owner to plant woody shrubs within canal right-of-way and allow Ditch. Company right to remove for maintenance purposes and allows the owner to replace said plants at owners expense. I understand this issue may not be able to be added to the agreement. I am willing to meet with the Ditch Company in support of this request. Number: 117 Created: 9/25/2009 [9/25/09] Ensure that the buffer zone line for both the lake Canal and Coy Ditch are shown correctly on all plan drawings, clearly delineated and labeled correctly. Topic: Photometric Site Plan Number: 42 Created: 8/25/2009 [9/24/09] [8/25/09] Fixture AA shall include a full house side shield. In this case Accessory MA1213- XX. Topic: Plat Number: 10 Created: 8/25/2009 [9/24/09] The Coy Ditch buffer zone line is not shown accurately. Highlight actual line with heavier line type. [8/25/09] Delineate the buffer lines along the lake Canal and Coy Ditch. Label lines "Natural Features Buffer Zone Line." Page 1
