must be provided to satisfy this requirement. Refer to the redlined
landscape plans for more info.
q. Lighting levels are too high in the loading area. Please see the
redlined lighting plan for more info.
r. Please refer to the Current Planning redlines for detailed comments.
s. Please call me before you resubmit to find out the number of copies
of each drawing that will be needed.
Be sure and return all the redlined items when you resubmit.
If you have any questions about these or any other issues related to this
project please feel free to call be at 221-6206.

g. The Existing Conditions Map and the lighting plan are stand alone
drawings that are fine to be labeled as sheet 1 of 1.
h. Section 3.2.1(D)(1)(c) of the LUC requires "full tree stocking" in all
landscaped areas within 50 feet of all buildings, and all high -use and high -
visibility sides of buildings must have enough landscape areas provided to
allow full tree stocking to occur. Your proposed landscape plan does not
satisfy this standard. Please see the reclined landscape plan from Current
Planing and feel free to call me if you need further clarification on this
issue.
i. I need a color sample of the blue to be used on the roof. We may
need to discuss in greater detail the appropriateness of this color.
j. Take the signage off the elevations drawings. The signage is not
reviewed as part of development review. We have a separate sign
permit process.
k. Sections 3.5.3(D)(2)(a)(1) and 3.5.3(D)(3) of the Land Use Code
require fagade articulation along the north and west facades. As
proposed, these standards do not seem to be satisfied.
I. Sections 3.5.1(D) and 3.5.3(B)(1) of the LUC require a main entrance
to face and open directly onto a connecting walkway. The sidewalk
along the north side of the building qualifies as a connecting walkway.
Please refer to the definition of "connecting walkway" in Article 5 of
the LUC.
m. Section 3.2.2(C)(7) requires you to provide pedestrian connections to
off -site pedestrian destinations. You have not shown any off -site
pedestrian improvements to allow this site to link to the existing
soundtrack. I recommend a meeting be arranged to discuss this issue.
I should be at the meeting as well as Mark Jackson from
Transportation Planning and Clark Mapes from Advance Planning.
n. Section 3.2.1(E)(5) of the LUC requires that at least 6% of the
interior space of the parking lot consist of landscaped areas. Please
compute the area of the parking lot and the landscaped areas within
that parking lot and include the information in the next submittal.
Please refer to the redlined landscape plan for clarification on what is
considered the interior space of the parking lot.
o. An additional canopy street tree is required along Mason Street. See
the redlined landscape plan for more info.
p. Section 3.2.1(D)(1)(c) of the LUC requires "full tree stocking" in all
landscaped areas within 50 feet of the building. Additional trees
N
a. Please see the attached comment sheet from the Zoning Department.
12. Engineering Pavement, Building Inspection, Forestry, Poudre Fire
Authority, Police, Right -of -Way Planning, US West:
a. I have not received any comments from these departments. If and
when I do, I will forward them to you.
13. Current Planning:
a. Section 2.2.11 of the Land Use Code requires that an applicant submit
revisions based on this letter within 90 days or the project application
becomes null and void. Your response to the City's concerns is due by
August 8, 2000. A 30 day extension to this deadline is available. All
requests for an extension should be directed to the Current Planning
Director. If remaining issues are those that do not require plan revisions, a --
status report verifying continuing efforts toward resolving the issues is
required within the same timeline.
b. Please call Ginger Dodge or Voneen Macklin at (970) 221-6750 to schedule
an appointment to resubmit your revised plans when ready.
c. If, after staff reviews your re -submittal, it is determined that the design is
at least 90% finalized, we will be able to schedule the project for hearing, if
there are still substantial outstanding issues there will be another request
for revisions.
d. I'd like to clarify the Zoning comment #6 and add to it. You have
submitted two drawings that are very similar. One is labeled "Context
Diagram," and the other is labeled "Existing Conditions Map." Do not
re -label the context diagram to "site plan" as suggested in Zoning
comment #6. It sounds like the Zoning Department must not have
received a site plan, therefore there was a bit of confusion, however
the information on the "Existing Conditions Map" will suffice for the
required context diagram, so don't provide both.
e. On the context diagram, you have labeled a dark arrow between the
proposed building and the existing Soundtrack. This arrow does not
show us how the design will be providing this pedestrian link. Please
show a detail of this area showing the design of this pedestrian link.
If changes are made to the existing Soundtrack site, they will need to
be processed as a minor amendment.
f. The site plan, landscape plan and elevations should be labeled as
drawings 1 of 3, 2 of 3, and 3 of 3.
e
b. The meter pit is to be located one foot inside the utility easement in a
landscaped area.
c. Trees and landscaping are not allowed within 10 feet of District
facilities.
d. The District's standard approval is required. The drawings are to be
approved and a pre -construction meeting is to be coordinated with the
District prior to construction.
e. Contact Terry W. Ferrill for any questions regarding water and sewer
issues at (970) 226-3104, ext. 14.
5. Natural Resources:
a. Incorporate recycling into layout and design of trash enclosures.
6. Traffic Operations:
a. Are the daily trip values in the traffic study what is also expected for
the weekends?
7. AT&T Digital Cable:
a. AT&T Cable Services would like to see the 14 foot utility easement
along South Mason Street to continue along Mason Street in lot 1.
8. Light and Power:
a. A transformer Location will need to be coordinated, otherwise plan
looks O.K.
9. Public Service Company - New Century Energies (gas service):
a. Any reroute of existing PSC facilities will be at the developer's
expense.
b. There needs to be a 14-foot wide utility easement adjacent to South
Mason for the extension of utilities along Mason.
c. The point of contact at the Public Service Company is Jim Slagle at
(970) 225-7843.
