In addition, I received the nationwide permit application from Bill Veio yesterday, also attached. As each of you have indicated to me that the revised wetland mitigation plans could affect your prior comments, I'm sending you these plans so you can verify any additional comments you might need to provide to the applicant. Steve O., please note that the conceptual park design with the ultimate, master plan channel installed can be found on page 10 of the attached pdf (sheet 9A of 11). You and I will need to determine whether this conceptual design meets both the site's ultimate mitigation requirements and the park requirements for the site's zoning district. As I'm leaving town for the holidays on 12/16 (returning on 1/3), it is my intention to return comments back Terrence and Bill by the middle of next week. That way, we would still have approximately one week to resolve any of my comments prior to my departure. Thanks, Lindsay Lindsay Ex Environmental Planner CDNS I City of Fort Collins Iex(5)fcaov.com 970.224.6143 Office Hours: M 8-5; T-Th 8-12 From: Terence Hoaglund [mailto:hoaglund@vignettestudios.com] Sent: Wednesday, November 30, 2011 6:56 AM To: Lindsay Ex; Steve Olt Subject: Sanctuary West Lindsay and Steve, Attached please find the final site and landscape plans for review. This does include the new mitigation area. Susan and I had previously agreed that we did not need a full submittal, but I am circling back with Sherrie to confim this. Let me know if you find anything. I know we are trying to push to molars. Thanks!

Based on the information provided on Sheets 4, 7 and 9A it is still somewhat difficult to determine if the entire park site satisfies the intent of Sections 4.5(D)(6) (c) Facilities & 4.5(D)(6)(e) Storm Drainage of the LUC. The code states that "such parks shall consist of multiple -use turf areas, walking paths, plazas, pavilions, picnic tables, benches and other features for various age groups to enjoy"; and, that "when integrating storm drainage and detention functions to satisfy this requirement, the design of such facilities shall not result in slopes or gradients that conflict with other recreational and civic purposes of the park". Certainly Outlot K, on the north side of Barton Drive, can satisfy the aforementioned requirement about facilities; however, it is only a portion of the approved park site and is 0.25 acre in size. The concern relates to Outlot C, on the south side of Barton Drive. This portion of the approved park site is 0.73 acre in size and is proposed to contain a water quality pond and (presumably) some area for wetland mitigation. Although the "facilities" requirement does not need to be met on all portions of the park it is still important to provide and maintain some level of "park" or "open space" experience. The concern is that the wetland mitigation or natural area component (and possibly the water quality pond) may not do this, leaving a relatively small park site for the use and enjoyment of the residents of Sanctuary West. More detailed information for Outlot C is needed to help determine if Section 4.5 (D)(6) of the LUC is being met.

What is your opinion? Want to add or reword? Steve: Solitaire Homes agreed to relocate the Wetlands from the approved PDP location in the East-West channel to the proposed Park.Open Space location, based upon Lindsay's insistence and your indication to us that the combined Outlot C & D areas and the wetlands would satisfy the City's 1-acre Park requirement. Furthermore, we have added Public Trails thru the East- West stormwater channel for use by residents & neighbors for Open Space, sight-seeing, walking, bicycling, picnicking, jogging, roller-blading, frisby tossing, and for hanging out & gathering. This area adds another 3.1 acres of Public Park/Open Space to the adjacent 1.905 acres of Park/Open Space areas of Outlot B (.993 acres), Outlot C (.727 acres), and Outlot K (.245acres). There should be justification for counting at least 1-acre of this 5 acres of continuous and contiguous property as meeting the Public Park requirement. The Wetlands Mitigation & Monitoring report. Randy's dad passed away & he may not be able to modify the report sections any time soon that Terry (COE) and Lindsay would like to see. I am filling in to get a draft to the COE & Lindsay tomorrow or Wednesday. I'll send you a review copy FIRST for your feedback. Whenever you have the revised 8.5 x 11 exhibits, please email them to include in the report. Bill Veio, Broker/Developer RMRI REALTY 6645 E.
