specific development plan, the applicant must undertake, install and complete all engineering
improvements (water, sewer, streets, curb, gutter, street lights, fire hydrants and storm
drainage) in accordance with city codes, rules and regulations."
Failure to undertake and complete the development within the term of the vested property
right shall cause a forfeiture of the vested property right and shall require resubmission of all
materials and reapproval of the same to be processed as required by the LUC. Extensions to
an approved Final development plan may be granted as set forth in Section 2.2.21(D)(4) of

larger area will be provided for the truck to set up in the event of an emergency.
Also, l have concerns about how "unobstructed" the main entry/drive-up area will be; I foresee
vehicles parking in the fire lane and obstructing our vehicle access. An emergency vehicle- .
only "bump out' parking area, similar to the bus parking, might help alleviate this.
• Based on our meetings with PFA, we have agreed that parking will not be permitted at the
main entry, and that some area at the bus dropoff will be maintained as well for emergency

Has the layout of the site explored placing the building further to the south? What is the
reasoning for the site layout to include the parking lot in front of the main entrance?:
_ Building location was selected to avoid conflict with utility lines and easements to south, '.
and to allow the building to better connect to the natural areas to the north.

How is it anticipated a pedestrian travel to the Museum from the Downtown Transit Center. ;

and are there adequate facilities for this connection?
•
Pedestrian travel will be by way of sidewalks on Mason, crossing Cherry, and entering our
site just north of the vehicular access to the site. This limits the amount of road crossings.
It was noted in the neighborhood meeting that crossing Cherry can be challenging at
times;:but our project does not include the. installation of traffic control devices on this

The building is shown to be.positioned outside the FEMA Soo -year floodplain as required by
the floodplain regulations. However, please provide details to show that the znd story deck
does not have any structural supports placed in the ioo- or Soo -year. floodplain.
•
The building and its associated foundation. system is entirely outside the too and 500 year
floodplain. There is a patio on the western edge that apporoaches the flood plain, but it is
built with a retaining wall, and slab on grade: This assembly is primarily a regarding
feature, and we understand it to be permissible in the floodplain. .
z.
We strongly recommend that the lowest floor elevation of the building be above the lowest
elevation of the railroad grade just.north of the railroad trestle crossing the Poudre River.
There is a strong possibility that the railroad trestle and the College Avenue bridge could
become clogged with debris during a floor event causing the water to back-up onto this site.
By elevating the structure above the low spot on the railroad where water will
overflow to the east, this will help protect the building from flood damage.
•
Per our discussions with Marsha Hilmes Robinson we have set the lowest building finish
floor elevation (4973.00-feet) to be higher then the highest elevation along the lowest
part of College Avenue (existing top back of curb along center line median 4964.57-feet)
so that in case of the floodwater backing up the floodwater will overtop College Avenue
before flooding the proposed building. .
