Please review - also it creates 2 non -conforming spaces that are too short - but people will still attempt to park in them - but not be able to pull all the way forward. Number: 10 [4/28/04] Created: 12/19/2003 [12/19/031 North end parking aisle shows 16 spaces, south end shows 17, only 15 in a row without an intervening island are allowed Number: 12 [4/28/041 Created: 12/19/2003 [12/19/031 Plant Notes #4 - add to working - value of landscaping "and installation" Number: 89 Created: 4/28/2004 [4/28/041 Please remove the small print referencing landscaping on the site plan. Does not need to be on site plan and is too small to read anyway. The following comments and concerns were expressed at staff review on May 19, 2004: Engineering: 1. No new right-of-way is needed at this time for South Shields Street and Scott Avenue. 2. No new right-of-way is needed at this time for West Plum Street; however, a public access easement is needed.

[1/12/04] Please include all access ramps associated with sidewalks on all the plan sets including the utility and site plans. Number: 86 Created: 1/12/2004 [5/18/041 Please remove the proposed new vertical v-shaped curbs shown on the utility plans along the Scott R.O.W. These vertical curbs were intended for landscaping that is not longer required. [1/12/04] Given the planned future connection of Scott Avenue to W. Elizabeth, please replace the proposed shade trees along Scott Avenue with ornamental trees. Number: 87 Created: 1/12/2004 (5/18/041 There are minor discrepancies between the utility plans and the site and landscape plans. Please clean up the Plum Street sidewalk configuration between the plan sets. Keep in mind that the sidewalk needs to continue to the edge of the property line and connect to the existing sidewalk. [1/12/041 The sidewalk along Plum Street will need to continue to the edge of the property line to the east. Please include a sidewalk that crosses the driveway to the eastern property line (see red lines for alignment). Department: Water Wastewater Issue Contact: Jeff Hill Topic: General Number: 47 Created: 12/30/2003 (5/20/04] Curb stops must be with in a utility easement and the meter pit may not be located more than 2 feet from the curb stop.

See redlined plans. Also, provide a valley pan detail. Page 5 Number: 109 [5/18/041 From Technical Services Created: 5/18/2004 Boundary and legal close. Number: 110 Created: 5/18/2004 (5/18/041 From Technical Services: The need for a block in a 2 lot subdivision is unnecessary. Topic: Site Plan Number: 23 Created: 12/23/2003 [5/10/041 Repeat comment. The site plan is not scannable and will not be approved until it meets the criteria set forth in appendix E6. The font is so small in some places that I cannot read it or review it. More comments could follow when it becomes legible. [12/23/031 Correct all overlapping labeling and increase font size to meet the minimum requirement. See appendix E6 for additional scanability requirements. Number: 90 Created: 5/10/2004 [5/10/041 Site plan does not match the utility plans. Topic: Utility Plans Number: 35 Created: 12/23/2003 [5/10/041 Correction required, see redlines. [12/23/03) Provide two project bench marks referencing the City's datum. Number: 37 Created: 12/23/2003 [5/10/041 Because you've added a horizontal control sheet, you can put all the dimensioning on there and just show the emergency access easement on all the other sheets (it should help keep your sheets legible). Make sure that the EAE is located in an area free of all obstructions (parking stalls, curb and gutter, etc). [12/23/03) Show, dimension, and label the fire lane required by PFA. Number: 92 Created: 5/10/2004 [5/10/041 Sheet 2 - please be a little more specific on the variance granted in line 48. Include the section, the actual requirement, and then the variance itself. Also; include the variance to the emergency access easement miminum widths and radii granted by PFA. Number: 93 Created: 5/10/2004 [5/10/041 Sheet 3 - Label all easements with what the easement is for (Utility, Emergency Access Easement, etc).

[12/23/031 Show all utilities and easements (dimensioned and labeled). Number: 28 Created: 12/23/2003 [5/10/041 Repeat comment. The landscape plan will not be approved until all requirements in Appendix E6 have been met. (12/23/031 See appendix E6 for scanability requirements. Number: 91 Created: 5/10/2004 [5/10/041 The landscape plan does not match the utility plan. Number: 96 Created: 5/10/2004 [5/10/04) Planters along Shields street must be located outside the existing utility easement or are these tree grates? Please label accordingly. Topic: Plat Number: 29 Created: 12/23/2003 [5/10/041 Repeat comment. Corrections required, see redlines. [12/23/031 Most of the plat language shown is incorrect. Please see the attached for the correct plat language. Number: 31 Created: 12/23/2003 [5/10/04]\ Repeat comment. Labeled incorrectly. [12/23/03] Change the "Pedestrian Access Easement" along Plum Street to read "Public Access Easement". Number: 32 Created: 12/23/2003 [5/10/041 Repeat comment. Labeled incorrectly and missing width dimensions. Also, the emergency access lane is shown extending into the parking stalls and over the curb on the utility plans. This, for obvious reasons, will not work. Please locate the emergency access lanes out of these areas and in an area free of all obstructions. [12/23/031 Dedicate the fire lane on the plat, label as "Emergency Access Easement". Nu*nber: 106 Created: 5/18/2004 [5/18/041 Instead of having a 15' utility easement and 24' public access easement along Plum, just make one combined 24' Public Access and Utility Easement. Number: 108 Created:• 5/18/2004 [5/18/04] Label Scott Avenue as 25' ROW. Page 3 Number: 116 Created: 5/24/2004 [5/24/04] It is difficult to follow the alignment of the existing (proposed?) sidewalk along the south side of West Plum Street, north of the 3 buildings in this development. Number: 117 Created: 5/24/2004 [5/24/041 Please add a scale on this sheet for the Full Landscape Plan. It should, presumably, be 1" = 30.0'. Topic: Site Plan Number: 118 Created: 5/24/2004 [5/24/041 On the Site Plan, eliminate the labeling for plant material around the new building. The plant material is not shown but the labeling still is. Number: 119 Created: 5/24/2004 [5/24/041 Under the Land Use Statistics on the Site Plan, the Maximum Building Height is shown to be 56'-0". This is inconsistent with the Exterior Elevations Plan, which shows the building to be 58'-0" high. Number: 121 Created: 5/24/2004 [5/24/041 The Planning & Zoning Certificate block is not needed on the Site Plan and should be removed. Number: 122 Created: 5/25/2004 [5/25/041 There are numerous words misspelled in the General Notes on the Site Plan (please see red -lined plan). Department: Engineering Issue Contact: Susan Joy Topic: General Number: 41 Created: 12/23/2003 [5/18/041 It was agreed that a Public Access Easement would be dedicated to the back of walk in lieu of dedicating the additional ROW at this time_ Please dedicate this easement on the plat. (12/23/031 This project is responsible for dedicating their half of the current local street width (51' total) and for the design and construction of Scott Avenue. There is currently 20' of ROW for Scott Avenue. That means that this project needs to dedicate an additional 15.5', or (51-20)/2. However, you may dedicate the additional width as a Public Access, Utility, and Drainage Easement instead so that the applicant still retains the use of the property as currently shown. In addition, this project is responsible for dedicating their half of a minor collector with parking along Plum. There is currently 40' of ROW and a total of 76' is needed. That means that this project must dedicate an additional 18' of ROW on Plum. They do NOT need to dedicate the utility easement along Plum. No additional ROW along Shields is required. Page 2 STAFF PROJECT REVIEW City of Fort Collins Eastpoint Studio Date: 05/25/2004 c/o Donald Brookshire 3207 Kittery Court Fort Collins, CO. 80526 Staff has reviewed your submittal for CAMBRIDGE LOFTS, Final Compliance - TYPE I (LUC), and we offer the following comments: ISSUES: Department: Current Planning Issue Contact: Steve Olt Topic: Building Elevations Number: 120 Created: 5/24/2004 [5/24/041 The Exterior Elevations Plan shows the building to be 58'-0" high. This is inconsistent with the Site Plan, which indicates a Maximum Building Height of 56'-0" under the Land Use Statistics. Topic: Landscape Plan Number: 112 Created: 5/24/2004 [5/24/041 The (Final Compliance) Landscape Plan does not necessarily satisfy the City Forester's requirement for tree mitigation for the loss of 4 existing significant trees. Based on the previous Landscape Plan, Tim Buchanan stated that 12 new trees need to be upsized to 3.0" caliper for adequate mitigation. The current plan shows 7 new deciduous trees to be upsized to 3.0" caliper and 5 new ornamental trees to be upsized to 2.5" caliper. Mr. Buchanan must determine if the current plan satisfies the Land Use Code requirement for tree mitigation. Number: 113 Created: 5/24/2004 [5/24/041 The proposed "Fallgold" Ash at the northwest corner of the site is too close to the west edge of the driveway into the development. It must be a minimum of 8' from edge of driveway. The "Fallgold" Ash is not shown in the Plant Legend. Also, this proposed tree may be in conflict with a future Scott Avenue extension. Number: 114 Created: 5/24/2004 [5/24/041 There are 3 Ash trees shown in the planting island just west of the existing church. The assumption is that they are to be "Summit" Ash and should be labeled as such on the plan. Number: 115 Created: 5/24/2004 [5/24/041 Plan Note #4 must be revised to include the reference to 1250 of the "materials & labor" for the landscaping. Page 1
