Mc Clelland Channel
• The Natural Resources Department is willing to work with the applicant and other City
Departments on a collaboration design that will provide an appropriate buffer (suitable for all
parties and within the guidelines of the City of Fort Collins Land Use Code) and additional required
improvements to the channel (including vegetation, drop structures, etc.)
On April 23, 2001 we received an Ecological Characterization Study Report for the Project and have
the following comments:
• The Study has found that the site is potentially suitable habitat for the Preble's Meadow Jumping
Mouse. The City of Fort Collins Land Use Code requires proof of compliance for all state and
federal environmental regulations, prior to the scheduling of the public hearing. 3.4.1(0) The
Natural Resource Department will need to receive copies of applicable Federal permits or a
disqualification letter from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.
• The Ecological Characterization Study also calls out a wetland area adjacent to the McClelland
drainage in the southeast portion of the site. The wetland to the southeast measures roughly 1 acre.
According to the Ecological Characterization Study, the wetland doesn't appear to have significant
value to waterfowl or shorebirds so a buffer area of 100 feet would be required by our code.

1. The sidewalk at the main entrance and Kechter Road should be detached with directional access ramps as
per the City's street standards. On the opposite side (west) of the main entrance only a single directional
ramp heading eastward to the enhanced crosswalk crossing is needed.
2. A 'safe route to school' has been identified to lead into this intersection from the development to the north. In
order to cross the children safely to the school and to the future city park, a pedestrian signal will need to be
installed (Transportation Planning will confirm location with Traffic Operations). Traffic Operations will design
and install the crossing once approved. Funds to be provided by PSD.
3. Create a conceptual trail / sidewalk connection to the southern edge of the school and future street, which
includes the shared regional trail. The future street just south of the school will also be utilized as a pick-up
and drop-off point for parents increasing the need to make this connection.
4. Align the eastern crosswalk with the eastern side of the Cinquefoil Lane intersection. This will allow the
reversible turn lane to be utilized as a pedestrian refuge.
5. Show the conceptual connection(s) to the future neighborhood trail and development to the east of the
school. Connection(s) should have a connection to the bike parking facility.

Problems or Concerns (see below or attached)
Commen :
1. It would appear to be in the PSD's best interests to have documentation in writing for the partnerships
on the infrastructure improvements they envision as being done by others. It should be noted that the
City has not seen any designs (or substantial designs) for these improvements. It should be noted that
the Kechter Road design by TST as well as the use of Williowbrook's waterline for fire protection
has not been (re)submitted for review by the City and there are no definite timetables for approval of
these designs.
2. Please make all documents 24x36.
3. Provide the necessary right-of-way dedication for Kechter Road (minimum 42' half street width).
4. Provide for 15' of utility easement behind the right-of-way. Because of the irrigation ditch within a
portion of the utility easement, the utilities may need additional width beyond 15' to accommodate
their needs. Verification should be made from the utilities that 15' is sufficient or additional width is
necessary.
5. Coordinate access ramps along Kechter Road and other pedestrian treatments with Transportation
Planning's Comments.
6. The 25' radius driveway curb returns need to be reduced to 20' in conformance with the criteria in the
Larimer County Urban Area Street Standards. (This should be conveyed to TST for the design of
Kechter Road.)
7. Previous redlines indicated maintaining 20' of width for the parent pick-up/drop-off. Please widen
the width from 18' to 20'. In addition, this area should be dedicated as an emergency access
easement for PFA.
8. Please clarify the relocation of the PVREA powerlines. When will this occur, whose responsibility is
this? The following is the original comment: We should discuss the overhead utilityfacilities that
traverse and bisect the school site. Per land use code section 3.3.2(D)(7) all overhead facilities shall
be placed underground. When you state that the overhead utilityfacilities will be relocated, what
does that imply? There are provisions that will allow the overhead facilities to remain (3.3.2(D)(7)
(a) — (c)), but 1 am not sure they apply.

reduce the heat island created by the west parking lot. The south parking lot
is in compliance with City standards.
5. The primary issue continues to be the fact that the school district is intent
upon proceeding with construction prior to having adequate infrastructure
and/or prior to having adequate commitments for construction of the
infrastructure in place.
Please contact me at 970.221.6750 and/or e-mail: bgrubb(a)fcgov.com if you

(3) Light sources shall be concealed and fully shielded and shall feature sharp
cut-off capability so as to minimize up -light, spill -light, glare and unnecessary
diffusionon adjacent property.
(4) The style of light standards and fixtures shall be consistent with the style and
character of architecture proposed on the site. Poles shall be anodized (or
otherwise coated) to minimize glare from the light source.
(5) Light sources must minimize contrast with the light produced by surrounding
uses, and must produce an unobtrusive degree of brightness in both illumination
levels and color rendition. Incandescent and high-pressure sodium light sources
all can provide adequate illumination with low contrast and brightness and are
permitted light sources.
(6) Unique areas or neighborhoods within the city may have additional design
guidelines for lighting as part of a neighborhood or area plan. The Community
Planning and Environmental Services Department can provide information
regarding neighborhood or area plans. Natural areas and natural features shall
be protected from light spillage from off -site sources.
(7) Maximum on -site lighting levels shall not exceed ten (10) foot-candles, except
for loading and unloading platforms where the maximum lighting level shall be
twenty (20) foot-candles.
(8) Light levels measured twenty (20) feet beyond the property line of the
development site (adjacent to residential uses or public rights -of -way) shall not
exceed one -tenth (0.1) foot-candle as a direct result of the on -site lighting.
(9) Outdoor display lots for vehicles sales and leasing (as those terms are
defined in Article 5) shall comply with the requirements of this section. In
addition, display fixture illumination shall be reduced within thirty (30) minutes
after closing so that the remaining illumination levels are sufficient for security
purposes only; provided, however, that any illumination used after 11:00 p.m.
shall be reduced to levels sufficient for security purposes only. End of Code

Dear Ms. Simpson:
ttal Services
Thank you for the opportunity to review and comment upon the 2002 Elementary
School project. We look forward to working with the School District to ensure
that this a project is a positive addition to the City. The following review agencies
have submitted comments (attached) regarding the plans submitted for review on
April 3, 2001:
City of Fort Collins Zoning
Fort Collins -Loveland Water District and South Fort Collins Sanitation District
City of Fort Collins Park Planning
City of Fort Collins Stormwater (From Round 1 March 30th includes redlines)
Excel Energy
City of Fort Collins Transportation Planning (includes redlines)
City of Fort Collins Engineering (includes redlines)
Planning Staff has reviewed the plans and we offer the following comments:
1. Please ensure that the lighting complies with City standards as expressed in
Section 3.2.4 of the Land Use Code. I recall reviewing a lighting plan with the
original submittal; however, the plan did not have enough information to
determine compliance. I did not find a lighting plan in the 90 percent
submittal. Here are the pertinent city standards, for your convenience.
(C) Lighting Levels. With the exception of lighting for public streets, all other
project lighting used to illuminate buildings, parking lots, walkways, plazas or the
