Comment Number: 4 Comment Originated: 02/10/2016 02/10/2016: Sheet G1: Grading Plan This project was routed as an "FDP" but the plans are at a "preliminary" level, not "final". Please clarify if the plans are supposed to be preliminary or final. Final level plans will require more detail and I can comment on final level detail in the next round if needed. Comment Number: 5 Comment Originated: 02/10/2016 02/10/2016: Sheet G1: Grading Plan This project is considered a Major Amendment and as such is required to meet current Land Use Code requirements, which includes LID. It looks like the plans do include a bio-swale and some permeable pavement. Please also provide information in the plans and in the drainage report that shows how you're complying with the required LID percentage rates. Please note that the current LID requirements can be met in one of two ways: - 50% of the newly added or modified impervious area must be treated by LID techniques and 25% of new paved areas must be pervious. - 75% of all newly added or modified impervious area must be treated by LID techniques.

Topic: Drainage Report Comment Number: 8 Comment Originated: 02/10/2016 02/10/2016: The report states previously assumed imperviousness that was approved as part of the Centre Avenue Residences project, but I can't duplicate that number. Please provide an excerpt from that report and/or show how you obtained this number. Also, for this project the proposed imperviousness stated in the report doesn't seem to match what is provided in the Rational Method tables. Topic: General Comment Number: 9 Comment Originated: 02/10/2016 02/10/2016: Provide LID information and calculations. Also, provide an LID table on the Drainage Plan.

The plat was recorded on 1/3/2012 at 20120000249. The land surrounding the platted ten condo units is GCE for the units of Arrowhead Condos. Typically a Supplemental Condo Map would be recorded for the development of future buildings, but this preliminary is not for condominiums. Will there be a document recorded to vacate the existing Arrowhead Condos?

You will need to provide a letter of intent Comment Number: 3 Comment Originated: 02/17/2016 02/17/2016: Projects with three or more tenant units require the Unit Level Addressing form to be completed and submitted to the GIS Department after plans have met final approval through Development Review and are recorded with the City. This can occur anytime during construction, but before any utilities or address signs are installed. All addressing will be determined by the GIS Department and submitted to Poudre Fire Authority, USPS, Building Services, and Fort Collins Utilities. Failure to contact GIS and determining addresses through other means may result in address changes. The Unit Level Addressing form can be obtained by contacting the GIS office after the plans are recorded at gis@fcgov.com or (970) 416-2483.

Topic: Landscape Plans Comment Number: 2 Comment Originated: 02/08/2016 02/08/2016: There were 13 mitigation trees required on the original plan for tree removal which includes the mitigation for the 7 honeylocust. The mitigation for these tree removals has been met with current tree planting. Comment Number: 3 Comment Originated: 02/08/2016 02/08/2016: Add this tree protection note: All existing trees with the exception of 7 honeylocust shown to be removed shall be kept in place and protected. Comment Number: 4 02108/2016: Comment Originated: 02/08/2016 There are less trees being provided with the Major Amendment than on the original approved plan. The following are generally where there is a difference. Evaluate these zones and any others where fewer trees are provided and determine where it is feasible to add additional trees.

The location where it is proposed on the plan appears that it should be a shade tree. Review for making this a shade tree at this location and select an appropriate species. Comment Number: 8 Comment Originated: 02/08/2016 02/08/2016: Prairie Fire Crabapple is listed to have some susceptibility to the disease fire blight in the Front Range Tree Recommendation List. Consider using another grading, utility, and landscape plans. And an Environmental Planner signature line needs to be added to all utility plans that show the buffer. Comment Number: 2 Comment Originated: 02/17/2016 02/17/2016: Please also add the following notes to any sheets that show the NHBZ: -Please see Section 3.4.1 of the Land Use Code for allowable uses within the buffer zone. -The NHBZ is meant to be maintained in a native landscape. These notes will help preserve the intention of the NHBZ and the natural features into the future. Comment Number: 3 Comment Originated: 02/17/2016 02/17/2016: It appears that most of the landscaping within NHBZ had been postponed until Phase II of this project. This landscaping should be installed as part of the major amendment. Please update the landscaping plans in the NHBZ to show existing vegetation and proposed plantings. Within the natural habitat buffer zone, according to Article 3.4.1(E)(1)(g), the City has the ability to determine if the existing landscaping within the buffer zone is incompatible with the purposes of the buffer zone. Comment Number: 4 Comment Originated: 02/17/2016 02/17/2016: Thank you for providing a photometric plan with this PDP submittal. Current plans do not appear to show light spillage into the delineated 50' natural habitat buffer zone; however, the photometric plan does not accurately label the NHBZ. Please update to show the NHBZ line as on the site, landscape and utility plans. With respect to lighting, the City of Fort Collins Land Use Code, in Article 3.2.4(D)(6) requires that "natural areas and natural features shall be protected from light spillage from off -site sources." Thus, lighting from the buildings or other site amenities shall not spill over to the buffer areas. In regard to LED light fixtures, cooler color temperatures are harsher at night and cause more disruption to circadian rhythms for both humans and wildlife. Please consider a warmer color temperature (3000K) for your LED light fixtures. Please also consider fixtures with dimming capabilities so that light levels can be adjusted as needed. Comment Number: 5 Comment Originated: 02/17/2016 02/17/2016: A security will need to be collected for the installation and establishment of the Natural Habitat Buffer Zone, as per the approved plans and Development Agreement. Please note the developer typically provides an estimate of the landscaping costs for the Natural Habitat Buffer Zone, including materials, labor and irrigation. We then use the approved estimate to collect security at 125% of the total amount.
