Concrete washout is not an acceptable discharge. Erosion Control Report did not address the following 1) Management of Contaminated Soils 2) Loading and Unloading operations 3) Equipment Maintenance and Fueling 4) Routine Equipment Maintenance Activities 5) Concrete washout 6) Asphalt or concrete batch plants (if no say so) 7) Seed Mixes to be used in PLS/Ibs/Acre 8) Crimping and mulching operations with the seeding 9) What is the current Percent Vegetation (Percent Vegetative Density not Percent of site). Erosion Control Escrow was not calculated will this one be using the old calculation already predetermined or will it need a new figure and if so will there need to be a new escrow submitted to the City. Erosion Control Plan has numerous redlines please see stormwater's plans for redline comments. Erosion Control Plan was missing an erosion control sequence chart to better understand when things will need to be installed and removed (Please See Example placed in the erosion Control Report to give a better idea of what is being looked for in a sequence chart). If you need clarification concerning this, or if there are any questions please contact Jesse Schlam 970-218-2932 or email @ ischlam@fcgov.com Erosion Control Report and Plan have been revised per above comments and redlines.

The status of ash was recently downgraded to do not plant on the Front Range Tree Recommendation List. Comment Number: 4 01/31/2014: Comment Originated: 01/31/2014 November 25th Conceptual Review Current Planning Comment Number 1: Landscape Plan: the previously approved landscape and irrigation plans continue to apply to the proposed change of use from multi -family to single-family attached residential. The LUC section 3.2.1 describes requirements for full tree stocking along streets, tree canopy behind sidewalks and site, and landscape area treatments on site and foundation planting around buildings and screening. Understood. New Comment: Street Trees are marked on the plans as not part of this scope. Why are they not being included in the scope of this proposal? Please include street trees as part of scope or provide justification for review of why they would not be planted as part of this scope. There are a few ash street trees in the area shown as part of the major amendment on the original 2007 plans. These ash trees should be changed to a street tree species on the current City of Fort Collins Street Tree list such as Greenspire Linden. Ash is no longer being planted on City property due to the threat of emerald ash borer moving into the Fort Collins area. The applicant for Bella Vira Subdivision Filing Two owns only Tract A which is inside of the ROW on both West Elizabeth and Overland Trail, Richmond Homes owns the lawn & street trees between the curb and walk. The off -site street trees are shown on this submittal only as a point of reference. These street trees are to be installed according to the original Bella Vira Phase 1 design, approved in 2007 and is not part of this scope. The applicant for the Bella Vira Town Homes is coordinating with Richmond Homes on the installation of the referenced street trees. Your request to substitute other species for Ash will be provided and we do not anticipate any resistance to implementing the change. The applicant will include the City Forestry Department in future discussions with Richmond Homes related to the street trees.

If so please explain and provide a statement from a qualified certified private arborist explaining the impact to the trees and its effect on their survival. On 11 February 2014 the developer and design team met with the City Forester on site. Much of the excavation for this area is substantially completed, and it is apparent that these existing trees are not being impacted by any significant cut or fill. The existing trees (trunks) were counted, generally sized, and identified. This information has been added to the Landscape Plan.
