Page 3 Department: Engineering Issue Contact: Katie Moore Topic: Alley design Number: 15 Created: 9/10/2004 [9/10/041 The alley design provided brings up more questions than it answers: - further south, is the existing grade still this flat? - Does the whole alley drain south or is there a high point somewhere? - Does the proposed design need to drop in elevation so that minimum grades can be achieved further south? Please provide additional offsite data/design so that it can be seen that what is proposed to be constructed for this project will work for the rest of the alley. The alley does have a high pom;. r. n, :,. now shown on our grading plan. The proposed design allows the future allev construction to the south to have a minimum grade of 0.50916 to the high point. Number: 16 Created: 9/10/2004 [9/10/04] A grade break of4% is proposed at the ROW line, but the maximum grade break allowed is 0.4%. Please revise. The grade breaks have been revised Number: 17 Created: 9/10/2004 [9/10/04] The slope shown for the alley as it crosses the sidewalk is shown at 4.5%, but the maximum cross slope for a sidewalk is 2%. At the north edge of the walk, LCUASS allows for a larger than 0.4% grade break and a slope of up to 8%, if needed, down to the flowline. The cross slope has been revised. Number: 18 Created: 9/10/2004 [9/10/041 Please show existing and proposed grading contours on the alley plan. Contours are now shown. Number: 19 Created: 9/10/2004 [9/10/04] Please verify that the drainage for the portion of the alley draining to the north (on- and off -site) will not exceed 0.5 cfs for the Design 2 Year storm. If this is not being met, then the water will need to be diverted to an under -walk drain. The drainage plan and report now show all offsite flow that comes over this sidewalk. Topic: General Number: 9 Created: 9/10/2004 [9/10/04] The minimum setback of a garage from alley ROW is 8' per LCUASS. Please shift the garage 2.5' west. The garage setback is now met. Number: 12 Created: 9/10/2004 [9/10/041 Due to the alley construction, a standard soils report is required. The one -page summary submitted is not sufficient. M. Torgerson Architects will submit a full geotech report with this submittal Number: 13 Created: 9/10/2004 [9/10/041 Please review LCUASS Appendix E for plan scanability requirements. In general: Behind any text must be plain white. Font size/pen width ratios must be met. Simplifying plans helps - less use of shading, speckling, cross -hatching, etc. Drawings have been revised so that there is no lines behind text. Number: 14 Created: 9/10/2004 [9/10/04] When 20' of ROW exists for an alley, the full 20' should be utilized for alley improvements: need to pave the full width. Alleys can go down to 12' when the ROW is only 12'. The alley design has been revised accordingly.

COLLINS, CO 80524 Date: l 1 /22/2004 Staff has reviewed your submittal for 317 AND 325 CHERRY STREET, CHERRY STREET LOFTS PDP - TYPE I (LUC), and we offer the following comments: ISSUES: Department: Current Planning Issue Contact: Anne Aspen Topic: General Number: 23 Created: 9/14/2004 [9/14/041 The site plan and landscape plan would be lots more legible at 1 `10'. Please adjust your line weights and seriously reduce the impact of or eliminate the patterns on both plans. They are difficult to read and won't be scannable either. Clarify how the front courtyards will work. Show at least doorswings and outlines of individual units on your site plan too. Refer to 4.12 (E)(2)( c), (E)(3)( c) and (E)(4)(b) and ( c) regarding the importance of designing for the pedestrian. Number: 24 Created: 9/14/2004 [9/14/041 Please show some context on at least your site plan. What is across Cherry SO Meldrum? What is to the south? Number: 25 Created: 9/14/2004 [9/14/041 Per 3.5.2(D)(3), your setback from the alley to the garage doors needs to be 8'. If you move the building to the west, your walkway will be a mere 2.5' unless you rethink the storage closets. Number: 26 Created: 9/14/2004 [9/14/041 Garages need to have direct access to the living units. This is not shown on your site plan. There are details on your photometric plan that indicate the storage closet has direct access pass -through. I doubt this would work too well. Besides, the garage needs to be set back more so 1 think you'll need to rethink it. You've got an awful lot of space up under the roof... Number: 27 Created: 9/14/2004 [9/14/04] Show your trash enclosure(s). See 3.5.1(1)(1) and (2). Number: 28 Created: 9/14/2004 [9/14/041 Your elevations look great. The linework is very legible and clear. Number: 29 Created: 9/14/2004 [9/14/04] You've done an excellent job of providing variation in massing and contextual proportioning. The windows, base treatment and setback upper decks go a long way to creating a human scale and attractive building. Thank you! Number: 30 Created: 9/14/2004 [9/14/041 Please add additional mitigation of the rear garage wall and front garage wall with more than the roof plane change and the doorways: a window on the west side of the north elevation'? One on south elevation depending on context? Something to humanize the alley elevation? Number: 31 Created: 9/14/2004 [9/14/04] Your landscape selections on your tree schedule give new meaning to the term "community garden." Page 1
