The landscape installation notes states that the escrow landscaping may be phased "as
per the plan". However, there are no phase lines on the landscape plan.
Be sure and return all of your redlined plans when you re -submit.
If you have any questions regarding these issues or any other issues related to this project,
please feel free to call me at (970) 221-6750.

Pedestrian/bike path & bridge questions

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.

The Light & Power Department offered the following comments:
Electrical facilities will include pad -style transformers between the sidewalks and
curbs.
Electric meters will need to be 'ganged' on each building and their locations
coordinated with Light & Power Engineering prior to development.
The Landscape Plan needs to show the planned streetlights (as shown on a red -
lined plan that has been forwarded to TSP Five). Street tree locations will need to be
adjusted to provide a minimum of 40' clearance to each streetlight.

Rick Lee of the Building Inspection Department offered the following comments:
A copy of the various codes that the Building Department will enforce is attached
to this letter.
The information submitted suggests that multi -family housing will be provided.
The City wants to inform you that they are enforcing the 1998 ANSI for accessibility and
a State statute, which requires that on common property 1 accessible (Type 'A') unit for
each 7 units (or fraction thereof) shall be provided. Accessibility is required in most R-1
construction, so pay careful attention to the requirements of ANSI and what items are
required in a Type 'A' dwelling unit.
Another more commonly missed component is the required fire -rated separation
between units and in attic spaces.

The Parks Planning Department offered the following comments:
* Regarding the proposed recreational trail:
an easement from VOA is needed on the subdivision plat.
an easement is needed from the PV&L Ditch Company.
* Similar to the approved Mountain Ridge Farm, 2nd Filing agreement:
this developer (VOA) is to fund 1/2 of the 8' wide recreational trail (4' of
width) on this property.
this developer (VOA) is to fund the cost of the recreational trail bridge
crossing over the PV&L Canal.
* The City will have funds available in 2002 for their portion of the recreational trail
construction.

* Please provide a Signing and Striping Plan for Horsetooth Road.
Sheet C3.2 of the utility plans:
Street width shown is 70'. It should be 83' for a 4-lane arterial street. Why
is only 35' of half right-of-way being indicated?
- East roadway transition should be per City Street Standards, Figure 8.03,
that provides a transition of 320' for this roadway.
* Sheet C3.5 of the utility plans:
Details should state the respective City Street Standards figure number.

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.
Can an entry landing be provided for each unit? Is there a reason not to?

The Pleasant Valley & Lake Canal Company has indicated that:
There will need to be written approval with their Board of Directors for any shared
use of the pathway/right-of-way.
" There will need to be a written agreement for any ditch crossing.
Any maintenance or liability that the City takes over would also require a written
agreement with the City of Fort Collins.

The City Forester offered the following comments:
" Add the standard Landscape & Tree Protection notes to the Landscape Plan
(please see attached).
Two trees marked A & B on a red -lined Landscape Plan (that has been
forwarded to TSP Five) are noted to be removed due to the utility easement. This
appears to be necessary; however, further explanation is needed.
Trees marked C & D on a red -lined Landscape Plan (that has been forwarded to
TSP Five) will need to be mitigated with a total of 6 upsized mitigation trees.

ISSUES:
Department: Advance Planning

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 flatness and 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.
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.
