11107/2013: The response letter refers to a modification request, but I didn't see a separate
modification request addressing how the standards of Sec. 2.8.2(H) of the Land Use Code are
satisfied.
08/14/2013: For the proposed enrollment capapcity of 170 children, the outdoor play area needs to
be a minimum of 7,750 square feet (Sec. 3.8.4(A) of the LUC). The play area proposed is only 4,524
square feet. The minimum indoor floor space required for 170 children is 6800 square feet. The
required floor space excludes bathrooms, offices, kitchens, closets and the like. Only the common
floor area devoted to school purposes counts towards the required 6800 square feet. The applicant
should provide the amount of such floor space in the Land Use Table.

11/07/2013: I'll defer to Planning to determine if the 'exception' explanation provided in the response
letter satisfies the standard.
08/14/2013: The setback of the building from Boardwalk needs to comply with the build -to -line
standards in Sec. 3.5.3(C) of the Land Use Code. This means that the building should be within 15' of
the Boardwalk right-of-way line unless it is determined that one of the listed exceptions is satisfied.

The Forestry Division has observed that Princess Kay Plum does not survive well in the Fort Collins
area and typically dies and declines within 10 years of planting. Spring Snow Crabapple is a
ornamental tree with white flowers that should be considered as a substitution.

11/20/2013: The easement vacation documents and legal description was not received as part of this
submittal. It appears that the Miramont Office Park Owners Association controls the land outside of the
building envelope so the easement vacation documents will need to be submitted by the Miramont
Office Park Owners Association. Contact me for additional information on the process to vacate
easements by separate document or visit http://www.fcgov.com/engineedng/devrev.php
08/27/2013: The Learning Experience building extends into an existing access/drainage/utility
easement per the current Miramont Office Park Plat. The existing easements will need to be vacated
and the new easements dedicated prior to project approval. You can vacate and dedicated
easements by replat of the property or by a separate document process. Contact me for more
information on the process to vacate/dedicate easements by separate document.

08/26/2013: On the landscape plans, you indicate wetiand seed with the detention area - do you know
if you have the groundwater regime to support wetland plantings? If not, I might recommend a different
seed mix for that area that is less dependent on this type of hydrologic regime. Let me know if I can
help on this one.

11/28/13: The West of the building still needs some plantings to meet the code requirement.
08/2112013: On the West side of the building where the main entrance is the Landscape standards
require foundation plantings. Currently the site plan and landscape are showing none along this side.
The elevation drawings are showing some shrubs. To achieve compliance with the code 50% of the
building face excluding the entrance should incorporate some plantings areas.
Does the 4ft fence need to be opaque, can it be more of a transparent fence type?

11/1812013: Has stated in the earlier comment this sidewalk connection needs a ramp and crosswalk
striping across the drive extending the West ramp on the other side. Also the landscape plans need
to be updated with this connection.
08/21/2013: The sidewalk that runs along the west side of the building will need to be continued on to
the drive aisle and the connection needs to include a ramp and painted cross walk to the existing west
ramp across the drive aisle.
