Topic: Site Plan In 2012 this property was platted as Arrowhead Condominiums. 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?

Current Erosion Control Materials Submitted and make reference too documents that were approved under prior criteria and do not meet current requirements. Please submit; Erosion Control Plan (based upon redlines), Erosion Control Report (refernces to old materials and placing SWMP responsibility on the contract is not in accordance with design criteria), and an Escrow / Security Calculation (will need to be recalculated to reflect the current scope of work) .

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.

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.

Pre -Submittal meetings assist the designer/builder by assuring, early on in the design, that the new commercial or multi -family projects are on track to performance standards by replacing or adding more plantings, as well as including more species diversity and variety in vertical structure. 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: 5 Comment Originated: 02/17/2016 04/12/2016: A security was never collected for the NHBZ. If a DA will be established for the major amendment, we may need to include Natural Resource language regarding the success criteria and inspection schedule for the NHBZ, as well as a security tied to this timeline and the success criteria, as needed. 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. Comment Number: 6 Comment Originated: 04/12/2016 04/12/2016: Because there are no new native seed areas proposed with this plan, we do not need to see a detailed seed mix at this time. However, upon inspection, areas within the Natural Habitat Buffer Zone that are bare or disturbed may need to be re -seeded.

These include the 7 Honeylocust in the plaza on the east side of the project. Label the trees by species, size and mitigation. The species and size are on the original approved plan. Diameter will need to be measured. Contact the City Forester if assistance is needed in measuring the diameter of these trees. 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.

The Natural Habitat Buffer Zone (NHBZ) will be referred to in the Development Agreement and will be used for purposes of the DA, future inspections, and for evaluating the overall establishment of the buffer; therefore, it should be labeled consistently and clearly on all plans. As such, on the landscape plans please change the "Natural Feature Buffer Setback" to say "Natural Habitat Buffer Zone". Likewise on the site plan, please update "Natural Buffer Zone Setback" to "Natural Habitat Buffer Zone". 02/17/2016: The mylars for Centre Ave Residences show a Natural Habitat Buffer Zone (NHBZ) between the development and the canal, with a standard buffer for irrigation ditches of 50'. The NHBZ needs to be delineated on the site, 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 04/11 /2016: Please update the notes to "Natural Habitat Buffer Zone" instead of just buffer zone and use the full "Natural Habitat Buffer Zone" before use of the acronym. 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 bufferzone. -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: 04/12/2016: Within the next few weeks, we would like to schedule an inspection with you of the NHBZ to determine success and establishment of the landscaping as per the approved Minor Amendment Phase 1 Plans. 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. Upon inspection, if determined to be insufficient, the plans may need to updated to better meet the 02/17/2016 Forof oW ns Community Development and Neighborhood Services 281 North College Avenue PO Box 580 Fort Collins, CO 80522 970.221.6750 970.224.6134 - fax fcgov. com/devetopmentreview April 15, 2016 RE: Arrowhead Cottages, FDP160004, Round Number 2 Please see the following summary of comments from City staff and outside reviewing agencies for your submittal of the above referenced project.
