Please provide an erosion/sediment control report and plan in accordance with City of Fort Collins specifications. When this is done, a review of the report and plan can be done. No report, no calculations, no notes, no schedule, etc. 9 Issue Contact: Wes Lamarque Drainage Report: Please revise time of concentration calculations to reflect the gutter travel time. This will reduce the overland lengths and better represent the actual basin. Please revise detention pond volume calculations. Please check intensities and 100 yr. C coefficient. City of Ft. Collins allows FAA method for pond sizing. Please discuss sub- basin "P". Undetained flows from the site must be taken into account in the overall release rate. This is accomplished by subtracting the undetained flows from the overall release rate to calculate new pond release rate. Please change water quality structure to City standard detail. The currently shown detail does not allow release of flows between the water quality needs and 100 yr. event. Water Wastewater 18 Issue Contact Roger Buffington Re -align sanitary sewer at tie-in to existing sewer as shown on marked up plans. Be sure and return all of your reclined plans when you re -submit. If you have questions regarding these issues or any other issues related to this project, please feel free to call me at (970) 221-6750. Yours Truly, STEVE OLT City Planner 5 of 5 Stormwater Utility Issue Contact: Wes Lamarque Emergency Spillway: The overflow from the Westfield pond needs to be proven with zero outfall from the pond, incase the outlet is plugged. This can be done by taking the existing SWMM model and changing the outfall to zero. The overflow from the onsite pond needs to include all flow with the outlet plugged as well. Please call Wes Lamarque at 970-416-2418 if you have any questions. Also, the emergency spillway actually occurs at the east crosswalk of the parking lot which is at an elevation of 98.45. The spilway should be modeled here and shown that is will not flood any of the structures. The spillway detail does not match the invert elevation on plan as well. 2 Issue Contact: Wes Lamarque Grading and Drainage Plans: Please separate grading and drainage plans. Please show basin delineations on drainage plan and please provide the same drainage plan in the report as in the plan set. Please show more low point and high point spot elevations around buildings, along swales,and flow line along streets to better clarify grading. Please show basin summary table, detention pond table, and swale cross - sections on drainage plan. Please show and label all drainage features on drainage plan. 3 Issue Contact: Wes Lamarque Utiltiy Plan: Please use different linetype for the various utilities. Please label all drainage features 4 Issue Contact: Wes Lamarque Please show all storm sewers on the street profiles including alignments, size, and location. 5 Issue Contact. Wes Lamarque Please provide concrete encasements for stormwater crossings with waterlines per City requirements. 6 Issue Contact: Wes Lamarque Please provide a cross pan on Horsetooth Road and show on street plan. Verify flow will not enter property from Horsetooth Road on intersection detail sheet with proper spot elevations. 4 of 5 13 17 PFA 10 11 Issue Contact: Clark Mapes Front stoops the sidewalks leading to individual units are a positive aspect of the plan. But typically, a dwelling unit benefits from some sort of stoop or landing. In this case the 3' wide walk leading clear to the entrance misses the opportunity to emphasize the entrance, maybe offer a place to put a chair, to wait, etc. It looks like it may be an oversight due to the 50 scale plans. In fact, there is no place sit outside anywhere on the plan. No patio, porch, urban walkway, etc. despite the urban intensity of the development; unless the community building has a porch. Can an entry landing be provided for each unit? Is there a reason not to? Are there any architectural drawings of the community building? A generous porch would seem to be a GREAT idea. Issue Contact: Clark Mapes Directional Ramps For older people even more than the general population, directional ramps work best. Can this be done at Brook Drive? I acknowledge this may be as much an internal City question as one for the developer. Issue Contact: Michael Chavez Address Numerals Address numerals shall be visible from the street fronting the property, and posted with a minimum of 6-inch numerals on a contrasting background. Issue Contact: Michael Chavez Sprinkler Requirment This comment is to confirm that all buildings beyond 660 feet are to be fire sprinklered. 3 of 5 Advance Planning 12 Issue Contact: Clark Mapes East Perimeter Crowding/Lack of Trees There is an awkward and incompatible relationship created by the FRONTS of buildings facing what is technically a SIDE setback area, with a long, straight 6- foot fence typical of REAR yards. The repetition of the buildings and the lack of trees add to the issue. I acknowledge how the number of units squeezed into the narrow portion of the site has created this situation, and also that the number of units adds to the affordability. But at a minimum, this area needs more attention to the fence and the repetitive building finishes, and it needs trees. See the sketch comments on the Side Elevation showing a more architectural fence 8 feet high, with an arbor top, which can have vines on it (I suggest Engelmann Ivy and Purpleleaf Wintercreeper for low maintenance), and trees. The trees can mingle with the fence and ivy. Carefully considered medium size trees will be needed. I suggest Redspire Pear, Aristocrat Pear, Centurion Crabapple, Cardinal Royal Mountain Ash, and possibly Bur Oak. These are either tight and vertical, or else lend themselves to fitting the space. (Bur Oak because it is one shade tree with an informal canopy shape that could be trained to fit the space.) ALL tight vertical trees should not be used because that could simply serve to emphasize the confining space. Based on this, please design an architectural fence for visual interest and durability to create more of a court yard space to which the buildings can be oriented. Where buildings do NOT face the fence, then it can go back to basic back yard fencing. The distinction between different fence sectdions will help highlight those areas that are front entrances. Please provide some color variation in the vinyl siding and prefinished gutters. Can there be at least two color schemes, to lend at least a little bit of individual identity and visual interest? This is most important in the narrow east perimeter strip, but also pertains to the whole development plan. Call 221-6225 to discuss these comments specifically. 2 of 5 iz STAFF PROJECT REVIEW Cih nl Fort Culling VOLUNTEERS OF AMERICA C/O ROBIN KELLER 1660 DUKE ST.
