[7/14/06] Please add a note regarding the Kiosk construction on the site, landscape, and
utility plan stating the thickness of the concrete slab and how the Kiosk can be removed
(lifted) if ever the storm box culvert needed to be excavated.
Number: 207 Created: 7/14/2006
[7/14/06] Please clearly state on the utility, storm sewer, and drainage sheets how the
existing inlets on Cherry and Maple Streets are being modified and provide all the necessary
details and/or blowup views.
Number: 209 Created: 7/14/2006
[7/14/06] All proposed storm sewer connections to existing storm box culverts or pipes need
to be clarified with details and notes. Please call our office for more information.
Number: 210 Created: 7/14/2006
[7/14/06] All inlets need to be designed for structural strength and can not be left for the
contractor to decide, like area inlet D.

[7/11/06] Sanitary sewer services must be connected by cutting tees into the sewer mains.
Services tees should be directed up at approx a 45-degree angle as shown in sewer service
detail (Std Detail 9).

[7/11/06] The construction phasing drawings now shown do help clarify. A concern
regarding the phasing plan sheets is that the successive phasing numbers should not show
the proceeding street phasing work. As an example, it would be beneficial to know if with
the construction of Phase 2, how much pavement in and around the handicap stall that was
previously installed with Phase 1 needs to be removed for Phase 2. By showing Phase 1's
patching limits on Phase 2, this information cannot be verified. Add a note regarding
requiring a sawcut between patching areas of successive phases.
[5/5/06] With the phasing plan for utilities now being shown, there is a general question as
to how each phase as it develops will tie into existing conditions. Please provide more
detailed phasing showing how each successive phase of development ties into the existing
conditions. The demo plan should be shown in phases as well.
[10/26/05] The construction drawings showed phasing on the grading plan with regards to
buildings, pedestrian spine, and parking structure. The phasing plan should also show how
utilities are installed per phase as well as access. Of concern for example, does PFA need
the entire parking structure built across Lots/Phases 1 & 2 to ensure through access to
Cherry Street? The building numbers should be shown on this sheet for clarity. (Perhaps a
new sheet should be created instead of using the grading plan.)
[8/25/05] With the project intending to be phased, a phasing plan for the public
improvements is required to be created on the construction drawings.
Topic: Plat
Number: 190 Created: 7/11 /2006
[7/11/06] The standard certificate of dedication language on the plat has been discussed by
City legal staff and it was concluded that it doesn't seem to be appropriate given that the
City is singing the plat as an owner. Please replace the Certificate of Dedication language
on the plat with the following, which appears to better state the situation regarding the City's
ownership of the property:
"The easements as laid out and designated on this Plat shall be reserved by the City of Fort
Collins from any conveyance of the land described herein to Penny Flats, LLC, provided,
however, that reservation of said easements does not impose upon the city a duty to
maintain the easements so reserved."

Topic: Fire
Number: 200 Created: 7/12/2006
[7/12/06] MAINTENANCE OF FIRE LANE: The shadow projections cover the fire lane,
which increases the likelihood of snow and ice covering the surface. The owner shall be
responsible for ensuring that fire lane is maintained unobstructed at all times, including ice
and snow. Language will need to be added to the Development Agreement to this effect.

part of a standard set forth by Parking Services in the downtown area and is implemented
on the various block faces downtown. (Per staff review discussion on 7/12, the location of
the parking spot should ideally be at the southeast corner of the site.)
Number: 201 Created: 7/12/2006
[7/12/06] The access ramp on the south side of Maple Street tying into the crosswalk
across Maple should be revised to not have the flare on the east side and mimic the curb
transition on the west side for consistency.
Number: 202 Created: 7/12/2006
[7/12/06] Provide additional information and clarity regarding the modification/additions to
existing inlets along Maple and Cherry. For the new inlets along Cherry please call out the
type and distinguish them in linetype from the existing for clarity. Also, how will these
connect to the existing inlets?
Number: 203 Created: 7/12/2006
[7/12/06] On Sheet C25 the crosswalk information is a little confusing for the crosswalk
along Maple, is it intended to lineup with the access ramp on the north side of Maple? Why
is it shown cutting into the sidewalk section? In general is it being verified that the crosswalk
locations tie into the existing access ramps across the street in all areas? We should follow
up with Transportation Planning to look at the crossings individually if they don't line up from
existing to proposed access ramps.
Number: 204 Created: 7/12/2006
[7/12/06] Per verification with Traffic Engineering, the use of striping for parallel parking
along Mason Street should be removed as the City doesn't maintain this.
Topic: General
Number: 20 Created: 8/19/2005
[7/10/06] On Sheet C30, please remove the water quality planter detail as the use of these
particular water quality features I understand is no longer being implemented.
[5/5/06] Given the discussion at staff review regarding the possible payment to Stormwater
in -lieu of providing water quality, the comment is deferred at this time. Should the water
quality planter be used along Maple Street, additional information on the detail dimensioning
the depth and slopes of the soil from the sidewalk edge should be provided.
[10/26/05] The response indicated that a detail has been provided on the landscape plan
with bike racks. The landscape plan shows the bike racks in plan view but no detail, instead
a planting bed curb detail is provided.
[8119/05] Please provide more detail information (beyond C5 of the construction plan set) as
to the vertical depth of the planting bed for the street trees. I'm not aware of a situation in
which landscaping and street trees are situated in an urbanized setting (without a grass
parkway) of attached sidewalks where grates are not utilized to help ensure a smooth
walking surface. How is the pedestrian less likely to inadvertently step in this landscape bed
and possibly turn an ankle, trip, etc? A similar concept of these water quality beds were
proposed on another project where a 1 foot drop to the planting bed was proposed, which
looks like may not be occurring here. In that case, we wanted to explore the option of
providing barrier curb with notches in the curb at location in order to provide the visual
aspect of not being able to walk in this area unlike most other areas downtown where
sidewalk grates are placed over the trees. Further discussion is needed.

[7/11/06] The concrete joint pattern detail is too faint to be noticed on the grading plan
sheets. Please provide a more noticeable lineweight/linetype (also, remove the existing
striping to prevent confusion). Provide a typical dimensioning of the pattern length and
width. In checking with our Engineering Inspector, please also indicate the use of expansion
joints between the gutter pan/spill gutter and the concrete pavement section as well as
specifying the use of expansion joints on the concrete pavement section at intervals not to
exceed 100 feet. In addition, it should be indicated that these areas shall adhere to the
City's concrete pacing standards and that all joints are to be sealed.
[5/5/06] Please provide a concrete scoring and joint pattern detail for the concrete areas of
inset parking along Maple Street and Mason Street.
Number: 171 Created: 5/5/2006
[7/11/06] A variance request was received. In general, we'd like to do some further
investigation of the ridability and maintainability of the street section in response to the cross
slope information provided. If there is excessive undulation along the travel way as a result
of the neckdowns in conjunction with inleflocations and existing -grades, pertiaps the design
should look at a quarter crown situation where the grades steepen up along the parking
areas but are less steep along the travel way. Providing flowline and centerline elevations
along Maple and Howes will help in the review of how the street systems will function.
[5/5/06] There are locations along Maple Street and Howes Street where cross slopes
along the street do not meet our 2-3% requirement. Howes Street is notably out of
compliance where the neckdown is being incorporated. Please look at the cross slopes
along these two streets. Additionally, please provide cross slopes (existing and proposed)
along these two streets at 50 foot intervals and at several points along each of the neck
downs to help ascertain how much of the cross slope concerns are due to existing
conditions verses caused by the design.
Number: 173 Created: 5/5/2006
[7/11/06] The information shown specifies 8% grades behind the sidewalk, which is steeper
than I had thought the applicant was looking to achieve. Per our discussion at the staff
review on 7/12, additional information will be provided and reviewed by the City for possible
concerns.
[5/5/06] Please provide a construction drawing illustrating the subsurface area of the
buildings to help illustrate how the parking structure area is situated in relation to right-of-
way and easements as well as how elevations are continued from the entrances of the
parking garage(s) to the basement.
Number: 189 Created: 7/11/2006
[7/11/06] The street patching shown needs to be expanded for the patching along Maple
Street between the crosswalk and the fiber optic line in accordance with our patching repair
standards (25.7.2.B.6 of LCUASS). This may also be the case for the patching along Maple
Street between the crosswalk and the fiber optic line needing to be connected (see Sheet
C7), provided that patching is needed for the access ramp instead of a clean edge being
maintained to pour the concrete against.
Number: 199 Created: 7/11 /2006
[7/11/06] The handicap parking stall along Maple Street will need to be widened to
accommodate loading on either side, which will result in the losing of a parking spot. This is
