Drainage easements are required for both detention ponds and both storm sewers. An off -site drainage
easement is required for the storm sewer that is on the property to the south, as well as a temporary
construction easement. Repeat Comment 6/25/03 - Reminder for final plan approval.

Please combine area inlet 1 detail and water quality orifice/well screen detail together and better clarify
how this is to be constructed. Rebar should be used for structural integrity due to one of the sides of the area
inlet being partially removed for the well screen and water quality orifice plate.
Number: 105 Created: 6/27/2003
Please change water quality orifice holes to be one 1/4-inch hole per row for five rows spaced 5-inches apart
instead of 4-inches. This is a non-standard design needed to accommodate for the 2 foot high structure that
is associated with such a small water quality volume and surface area. The 1/8-inch holes were looked at as
probably clogging much more regularly.
Number: 106 Created: 6/27/2003
Please consider a little less landscaping at the WQ outlet structure. At full plant maturity, there should be no
blockage of outlet structure and access for maintenance.

1. The erosion control notes on the plan are not City of Fort Collins notes, please correct.
2. 1 can find no BMP's on the erosion control plan.
3. Your report states that "...The foundation will be installed prior to overlot grading for erosion
control." I don't understand.

Remove #1 as previously requested. This information must be shown on the Site plan.
#2 - "exact geometry" is not shown on the utility plans as stated.
#13 - Utility sheets say "painted" and the Landscape plans do not match either.
#14 - Which easements are existing and which are proposed? Currently oil plan sets are unclear.
Topic: Utility Plan
Number: 36 Created: 3/14/2003
The utility plans that were submitted are expired and must be resubmitted to current standards (October 1, 2002
LCUASS). You may revise the older set and bubble out everything that's changed but it would much easier, faster, and
cleaner to resubmit a new plan set under another name that's different than the expired set. Please see chapter 3 and
Appendix E for submittal and design requirements. Please complete and submit Appendix E4 with the next submittal.
Quite a lot of information was left off this submittal. Expect more comments in the next round if not designed in
accordance with the current street standards.
6/20/3: Your response indicated confusion with what I meant by "current street standards." I was referring to LCUASS
- Larimer County Urban Area Street Standards in short form (as mentioned in the first sentence of the previous
comment). These standards govern all public improvements and are not limited to "streets". These include, but are not
limited to, curb/gutter/sidewalk, parking lots, pedestrian ramps, etc. Please call me at 221-6605 if you are ever
confused about what is meant by a comment so that you can get it cleared up immediately rather than wait until the
next round of review. This will help you get through the review process much quicker.

Update all the old details to the new details. Provide details 701, 707, 708, 710, 1601, 1602, 1606, and the

our standard detail until further notice.

Department: Current Planning Issue Contact: Troy Jones
Topic: General
Number: 112 Created: 7/1 /2003
The following departments and agencies forwarded hand written comments directly to me as follows:
Tim Buchanan, City Forester [6/26/031 - Add these notes to the landscape plan:
"A free permit must be obtained from the City Forester before any trees or shrubs as noted on this plan are
plated, pruned or removed in the public right-of-way. This includes all areas between the sidewalk and curb and
street medians. This permit shall approve the location and species to be planted. Failure to obtain this permit
may result in replacing or relocating trees and a hold on certificate of occupancy."
"The developer shall contact the City Forester to inspect all street tree planting at completion. All trees need to
have been installed as shown on the landscape plan. Approval of street tree planing is required before final
approval. Failure to obtain approval by the City Forester for street tree planting shall result in a hold on
certificate of occupancy."

The site plan, landscape plan, and elevations are all part of a set of drawings that will be file together.
Please label them, starting with the site plan, sheet 1 of 3, 2 of 3 and 3 of 3.
Number: 114 Created: 7/2/2003
There are only a few small items to clear up before we can go to hearing. Current Planning comment #60
needs to be resolved to staff's satisfaction, all off -site easements need letters of intent, and the timing of the
vacation of the drainage easement relative to the date of the hearing needs to be coordinated with
Engineering and Stormwater. Coordinate with me (Troy Jones) on the revised landscape plan, and
coordinate with Susan Joy on the easement issues. After hearing we will require a final compliance submittal.
The final compliance application will require on application form, a $1000 application fee, 4 site plans, 4
landscape plans, 4 utility plan sets, 1 drainage report, all signed easements, and all redlines.
Topic: Landscape Plan
Number: 60 Created: 3/17/2003
(7/1 /03) Although the re -submittal clarified the sizes of the various landscape areas, the comments is still not
addressed. The "6% landscaped areas requirement" (required by 3.2.1(E)(5)) applies to the parking lot only,
and not the entire site as a whole. The. method to calculate the limits of the parking lot is clarified in the LUC
in the attached photocopy of Figure 1 from Article 3 page 12. Also, see the purple line depicted on the
redlined a copy of the landscape plan. This issue needs to be resolved prior to going to hearing.
(3/17/03) It appears that less than the required amount of parking lot interior landscaping is being proposed.
Refer to the purple line sketched onto the redlined landscape plan from Current Planning. This line,
represents the vehicular area of which 6 percent must be landscaped area. Include a chart on the
