Yours Truly, STEVE OLT City Planner Page 15 • Connection to proposed future bike trail is good only if Phase 2 of site is built. How will this connection be made if only Phase I is built? n Issue Contact: Mark Jackson • Can Brook Drive ROW area be used to make a bike/ped connection to the east? 46 Issue Contact: Mark Jackson Pedestrian/bike path & bridge questions It is still unclear to me that the applicant has agreed to build the bike/pedestrian path as shown on the site plan. This includes the bridge necessary to cross over the canal/buffer area. I need clarification as to who is planning to pay for and build this facility, and when. 47 Brook Drive pedestrian connection Issue Contact: Mark Jackson Will this development make a pedestrian connection along the Brook Drive ROW east to the Skyline Acres subdivision at Richmond Drive? Department: Technical Services 214 Issue Contact: Jim Hoff Plat boundary closes. Legal doesn't match the plat. Missing call on the plat. 215 Issue Contact: Jim Hoff Plat: Street name is spelled different from previous plat. Which is correct? 216 Issue Contact: Jim Hoff Plat: Square footage of Lot 1? 217 Issue Contact: Jim Hoff Plat: The area of the plat north of Brook Drive and east of Kunz must be a lot. 218 Plat: Distances missing - see redline. 219 Plat: Easement widths missing. Issue Contact: Jim Hoff Issue Contact: Jim Hoff Page 14 230 Issue Contact: Wes Lamarque Please provide a detention pond stage -storage rating curve in the drainage report with all critical elevations. Please include all 1-foot intervals along with WQ and 100-year surface elevations. 231 Issue Contact: Wes Lamarque Please provide 15-foot drainage easements for all storm sewers. 232 Issue Contact: Wes Lamarque The spillway flow rate from the Westfield Park Regional Pond still does not assume the outlet to be plugged for the duration of the 100-year storm event. If it is shown that the emergency spillways have considerable more capacity than what is currently needed, than recalculating the flow rate may be avoided. 233 Issue Contact: Wes Lamarque Compared to some hydrology calculations that I checked on some of the basins, the flowrate calculations for the various sub -basins appear to be simmilar. However, the way they were obtained is not consistent with the City's requirements and could not be supported should they be challenged. As previously discussed, the time of concentration calculations were not calculated using overland and gutter times, which resulted in larger time of concentration values. Also, the Storm Frequency Adjustment Factor for the 100-year storm was not used correctly. The factor needs to be applied to C, the runnoff coefficient for the entire sub -basin, not pieces of the basin that are either impervious or pervious. The routing method used to calculate flows in downstream basins is also not consistent with our requirements. This method was overly conservative, which helped offset the previous two issues, resulting in values simmilar to ones calculated by our office. Please recalculate the hydrolgy calculations using the guidelines in the City of Fort Collins Storm Drainage Design Criteria Manual. 234 Issue Contact: Wes Lamarque Please see other redline comments in the drainage report and on the plans. Department: Transfort 159 Transfort concrete pad should be 6" depth. Department: Transportation Planning 4 Make Bike Trail connection with Phase I Issue Contact: GayLene Rossiter Issue Contact: Mark Jackson Page 13 2. Landscape plan needs to show the planned streetlights. A streetlight plan has been sent via interoffice mail to Steve Olt 7-30-01. Street tree locations will need to be adjusted to provide a minimum of 40 ft. of clearance between trees and streetlights. 3. Electric meters will need to be'ganged' on each building, and their locations coordinated with L&P prior to development. 176 Issue Contact: Doug Martine It will be necessary for Light and Power to use above grade pad type transformers to be placed between the courb & sidewalk. 177 Issue Contact: Doug Martine Electric meters will need to be 'ganged' at or near the street side of each building. Final electric meter locations will need to be coordinated with Light and Power engineering. I mentioned this on record #176, but it doesn't show up when I choose "more", and for some reason I can't edit it, so I will restate that comment here.--> It will be necessary for Light and Power to use above grade pad type transformers placed between the curb and sidewalk.

Page 5 Please contact Ward Stanford, at (970)221-6820, if you have questions about his comments. 171 Issue Contact: Steve Olt 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. Please contact Doug Martine, at (970)224-6152, if you have questions about his comments. 172 Issue Contact: Steve Olt Ron Mills of the Right -Of -Way Department indicated that he cannot find the trail dedication on the subdivision plat. It needs to be shown. 173 Issue Contact: Steve Olt Laurie D'Audney, representing the City's water conservation requirements, indicated that her comments are on an Irrigation and Water Conservation Comment Sheet (that has been forwarded to TSP Five). 174 Issue Contact: Steve Olt 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. Page 4 Please contact Tim Buchanan, at (970)221-6361, if you have questions about his comments. 168 Issue Contact: Steve Olt 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 contact Craig Foreman, at (970)221-6618, if you have questions about his comments. 169 Issue Contact: Steve Olt AT&T Broadband (cable TV) has indicated that they would like to service this project with CAN plant. 170 Issue Contact: Steve Olt Traffic Operations offered the following comments: No TIS was provided. Please provide a TIS. Has a scoping meeting been conducted for this project? 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. Page 3 Call 221-6225 to discuss these comments specifically. 139 Issue Contact: Clark Mapes Front stoops the sidewalks leading to individual unitXrp sitive aspect of the plan. But typically, a dwelling unit benefits from some sor 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, therejs--fio 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? Department: Current Planning 165 Issue Contact: Steve Olt The Post Office has indicated that they have no comments regarding this development proposal. 166 Issue Contact: Steve Olt 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. 167 Issue Contact: Steve Olt 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. Pale 2 STAFF PROJECT REVIEW ("IN 4 Foit Colin, VOA Natural Sevices Date: 10/5/01 Robin Keller, . po p 1660 Duke St Alexlexandria, VA 22314 �k -e- Staff has reviewed your submittal for FORT COLLINS VOLUNTEERS OF AMERICA, ELDERLY HOUSING, #14-01, and we offer the following comments: ISSUES: Department: Advance Planning 138 Issue Contact: Clark Mapes East Pe ' eter Crowding/Lack of Trees There is a 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 I ve vines on it (I suggest Engelmann Ivy and Purpleleaf Wintercreeper for low mai ance), 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 pace.) ALL tight vertical trees should not be used because that could simply sery o emphasize the confining spac� Based on this, pl se design an architectural fence for visuaa interest and durability to create more of a court yard space to which the buildings can be oriented. Please pr ide 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 visuaYinterest? This is most important in the narrow east perimeter strip, but also pertains to the whole development plan.
