01/14/2015: The TIS acknowledges the need for a southbound right turn lane at Lemay / Lincoln, and
this development is currently proposing to add 15% to that movement. This improvement is not shown
in the plans. Will this be a variance request?

01/14/2015: This TIS acknowledges that at the site access and Lemay the northbound right turn will
warrant a right turn lane. The warrant is 40. The proposed turns are 106. The TIS recommends not
installing the lane since it is'temporary'. Will this be a variance request?

01/14/2015: The long term geometry at new Lemay and Duff includes a northbound right turn lane and
a westbound left turn lane. The ultimate layout (and ROW dedicated now) should accommodate this,
and Duff should be built for this.

We have four owners and this is how they hold title: Technically the Ft Collins Business Center holds
title under two different ownerships.

Also, just to touch base again on the difference in the parcels tax districts, which encompass the new
sub, I understand that there will be an order recorded for exclusion from the Boxelder Sanitation
District which will accomplish getting all the parcels into one tax district. I'm hoping this gets done
before your final recording of this plat. If you have questions on the exclusion process, please contact
Lisa Ford in our office as she can answer any questions you may have on this process. Her direct line

05/28/2014: Instead of burying the borrow ditch, is it possible to relocate it to the north side of the
sidewalk? This would allow for on -site mitigation of the wetlands (0.22 acres) and serve as an attractive
amenity for the site. There also appears to be shallow groundwater in this area.
01/13/2015: This comment was addressed with the following note: A wetland mitigation area is noted
on the site and landscape plans at the location noted. Additional area is allotted in the detention area
as well. Final design for these areas will be included with FDP. However, it was unclear in the
response if the ditch will be buried. Please confirm whether the ditch is being buried or not. It appears
so on the plans, but please confirm.

Ecological Consultant verifying that from a hydrology perspective, but also based upon the soils report

05/28/2014: Our understanding of the 100' existing right-of-way indicated on the plat per reception

01/14/2015: 1-4: Per LUC Section 3.8.26, adjacent Industrial use is a land use intensity category of
light industrial "B". This category requires minimum 30' buffer setback with solid 6' fence and full
screening of landscape planting design including trees and shrubs. Plans need to identify fence and
add more evergreen trees and other planting to sufficiently screen industrial activity from new
residential units.

01/14/2015: The roundabout design has a flowline that is disjointed on the International Boulevard
approach to the roundabout. It's unclear how the alignment with bike lanes is to occur.

01/13/2015: Related to the comment above, please consider belly bands in general at the 2nd story
level and at gable ends where gables face streets, as on sheet 1. Images shown at the neighborhood
meeting included such band details as either a single board, or a band with an architectural detail in
the band (in a case where it worked in conjunction with board and batten siding).

01/13/2015: Board and batten siding is featured in character images shown at the public neighborhood
meeting, but all 195 units seem to be shown with uniform lap siding. Please consider this as a
variation in the family of buildings.

01/13/2015: Porches: Some are shown as 3.5' stoops with minimal/skimpy entry roof features.
Please consider increasing these dimensions to provide more human scale definition at front entries.
Also, please consider making some of these gables instead of shed style — i.e. on sheet 2.
Porches: some are shown as bona fide porches but are less than 6' deep. 6' is a minimum useable
dimension — please increase to 6' minimum and consider variation among 6' and 8' to allow for actual
use with chairs rather than a faux visual effect of interactive space.

01/13/2015: Elevs. Overall, the elevations show a family of buildings with visual interest and
interaction that appear suitable for the density and close proximity of the buildings. Consistency with
the character shown at the public neighborhood meeting is important, and details are crucial at the
intimate scale of the neighborhood. For the meeting, staff wishes to clarify some questions and
discuss some detail comments.

01/13/2015: Will the window trim have more depth and dimension than the siding? Context far this
question is that large uniform walls and flatness in details has been a problem in recent projects, with
window trim being a particular missed opportunity for depth and interest.

Comment Originated: 01/13/2015
01/13/2015: The 'clapboard" siding can provide a positive human scale character but the notes
describe it as 7" exposure. This should be 5-6" exposure to be more consistent with the traditional
style of the buildings. Elevations show 6" exposure and that should be the maximum. Thus the notes
box should be revised on all sheets.
In traditional buildings the exposure often varies among buildings, and even on individual buildings,
which can reduce impersonal uniform effects. Please consider such variation such as reducing the
exposure in gable ends facing streets, perhaps separated by a belly band, and possibly then painting
gables a different color.
