RE: 222 West Laurel — Classroom Addition Site Plan Advisory Review, SPA140002. Response to Staff
comments of September 5t", 2014.
Dear Ryan,
Based on the staff comments of September 5th, 2014 the following modifications will be incorporated into
the site plan for 222 West Laurel Classroom Addition Project:
1. Bicycle parking will be installed in close proximity to the northeast entrance of the classroom
addition. Bicycle parking will be per CSU standards (CORA type rack on permeable paving).
One rack providing 10 spaces is proposed.
2. To extent possible, existing landscaping which currently provides a buffer between 222 Laurel
and adjacent properties to the west will remain during construction. In the event that the
landscaping does not remain, CSU will work with the property owner to the west plant new
buffering landscaping and/or a boundary fence between the properties.
3. Two mature Colorado blue spruce exist in the year yard of the 222 West Laurel. One tree will be
protected per CSU Tree Protection Standards. One tree will be removed, and six trees of a
minimum 3" caliper size will be planted on CSU property within one quarter mile to mitigate for
the removal.
4. At this time, CSU has no plans to change the current gravel parking lot to the north of the
classroom addition, to a "hard" surface lot. However, a 12' x 20' concrete pad, for a van
accessible handicap space will be installed on the south side of the lot. This HC space will be
connected to the classroom accessible entry by means of a concrete sidewalk.
