REPLY: Comment acknowledged. Information was received on 10/26/2015 from the City of Fort
Collins that shows a conceptual design for the Dry Creek Outfall. The plans included herein,
reflect the proposed alignment for connecting the on -site detention pond outlet structure to it.

are not required to install permeable pavers in the ROW and since all the roadways and alleys
appear to be planned to be dedicated as public ROW, you are not required to use pavers except
in the future multi -family parcels or at the future park.

10109/2015: Low Impact Development (LID) criteria are required for this site.
6 For the single family residential areas:
o no less than 50% of any newly added impervious area must be treated using one or a
combination of LID techniques. Impervious area in this case is assumed to be pavement
areas, concrete areas (including an estimated area for private driveways), and rooftop areas.
o the 25% permeable pavement areas does not apply to single family residential areas
and/or public streets and alleys. In this case, if some of the alleys are private, the
permeable pavers will still not be required.
6 For portion or future areas of the site that are planned for commercial or multi -family
residential
o no less than 50% of any newly added impervious area must be treated using one or a
combination of LID techniques
o no less than 25% of any newly added pavement areas must be treated using a permeable
pavement technology that is considered and LID technique.
6 An exhibit showing areas draining to each required LID feature will be required prior to
hearing.
REPLY: Comment acknowledged. The requested exhibit can be prepared prior to hearing.
Currently, 43% of the newly added impervious area is routed through an EDB and 57% is

10/09/2015: The proposed grading shown on the Site Enlargement Plans and on
the Drainage Map look to be overlot contours. It is fine to include overlot grading plans in
the construction plans, but you will also need to include finished grade contours. Detailed
lot grading (including side lot swales, high points, low points, slope labels, finished floor
elevations, spot elevations, etc) will be required at final design.
REPLY: Comment acknowledged. FHA grading is shown on the construction plans. Minor
adjustments to the proposed basin boundaries will be made between preliminary and final
design so the boundaries are consistent with proposed detailed grading.

o Specific Details i, This section discusses using a simplified SWMM model to size the detention
pond. This is fine for the preliminary design. A more detailed mode that includes routing
developed flows for the final design of the pond, and hydraulic structures will need to be provided
at final design.
REPLY: Comment acknowledged.
o This section also discusses the retention pond strategy with a pumped release. Please note
that retention ponds are allowed only as an interim solution until a permanent outfall is built, with
the interim solution being a maximum of 5 years. Permanent retention ponds are not allowed in
the City of Fort Collins. Please refer to Section 1.11 of the Fort Collins Amendments to UDFCD
Criteria Manual for more detailed requirements.
REPLY: Comment acknowledged. Our plans show a proposed alignment for connecting to the
conceptual Dry Creek outfall alignment received from the City on 10/26/2015.
Page 11 f, G and H Basins last sentence should be clarified to state that the future areas are
planned to be multi -family and/or commercial and will need to follow LID criteria. (LID criteria
should be discussed in more depth in this report. LID criteria are as follows: no less than 50% of
any newly added impervious area must be treated using one or a combination of LID
techniques; and no less than 25% of any newly added pavement areas must be treated using a
permeable pavement technology that is considered an LID technique.)

RE: MJA150005 — Replat of East Ridge Minor Amendment Type I
East Larimer County Water District (District) has reviewed the documents received regarding the
above project and has the following comments:
1. Utility Plans: General layout of the water distribution network appears appropriate; details
will be worked out with design engineer when final design process starts. Of note, for the 12-
inch waterline to be installed as part of the project the District will require plan and profile
sheets.
Noted, Thank you.
2. Stormwater and Sanitary Sewer Coordination: The District assumes plan and profile
sheets of these utilities will be submitted with future review packages at which time a
review of potential conflicts will be conducted.
Plan and profile sheet will be provided with the final design documents and will address
potential conflicts.
3. Landscape Plans: Future landscape plans will need to show water lines and service
lateral locations in relation to landscaping to insure adequate separation. The District
typically requires a minimum of 8-ft of separation from center of trees to the District service
line.
Acknowledged.
4. Lot Configuration/Utility Coordination in Front of Lots: The landscape plans show a typical
lot arrangement (drawing LP501) with only 6-ft of separation called out from center of a tree
to a water/sewer service, which is lower than the District typically allows (see also note
above). Drawing LP501 does not show other utilities, i.e. gas, electric, cable, which brings
concern to the District that some of the small lot frontages may encounter conflicts in utility
separation if trees are required.
Please contact me if there are additional questions regarding this review. Sincerely,
Randy Siddens, P.E.
District Engineer ELCO
Tree locations will be finalized once services are shown to the lots — at that point
we will make appropriate adjustments to the tree locations to meet the minimum
separations.

Most if not all of the lots appear to be 60 feet or less in width. LUC 3.2.1 D 2 provides for only
one street per lot on these narrower lots. If two or more consecutive residential lots along a
street each measure between 40 and 60 feet in street frontage width, on tree per lot may be
substituted for the 30-40 foot spacing requirement. With driveway and utility tree separation
standards only one street tree can fit on narrower lots. Adjust street tree placements to follow
this standard for all narrower lots.

the proper tree separation.

Arborist following the objectives of tree health, safety and habitat contribution. Minimal pruning
may be advised in habitat areas. After initial pruning and maintenance any trees on City property
shall be maintained by the City of Fort Collins.
Add this tree inventory note:
Prior to construction a tree pruning and removal plan shall be prepared by a certified arborist
holding a City of Fort Collins Arborist License. This plan shall be submitted to the City Forester,
City Environmental Planner and Project Landscape Architect for approval. The plan shall
address the management objectives of tree health, safety, species suitability and habitat
contribution. Tree removal or pruning that needs to occur after the initial tree maintenance has
been completed shall be presented by the Developer or HOA for City approval.
All notes and tree mitigation revisions will be revised at final plan.

Provide upsized mitigation trees for tree not shown to retain. Mitigation trees should be sized as
follows.
Canopy shade tree 3.0 inch caliper
Ornamental tree 2.5 inch caliper Evergreen
tree 8 feet height
Coffetrees would likely be hard to find as 3.0 inch caliper mitigation trees. Forestry advises using
honeylocust, hackberry or Greenspire linden at mitigation trees because of their better
availability. If not already provided clearly show mitigation trees on the plan and in the plant list.

10/0112015: In response to the comments by the Parks Department, Environmental Planning
would agree to one simplified water system, provided there are 2.2 acres of wetland (with the
required 100' buffer) and 2.3 acres of upland are mitigated
on -site. Furthermore, the open water area could incorporate the irrigation needs of the Parks
Department. The details of this part of the design and necessary agreements and easements
would need to be arranged separately from the natural habitat requirements.
The concept presented meets the constraints provided by parks, stormwater and environmental
planning and the additional needs set forth for LID requirements. 2.2 acres of wetland are
provided along with the 2.3 acres of upland.
Comment Number: 5 Comment Originated: 10/01/2015
10/01/2015: With respect to the mitigated wetland and open water features, the City of Fort
Collins Land use Code, in Section 3.4.1 (K) requires that "to the extent that a development plan
proposes the creation of water features such as lakes, ponds, streams or wetlands, the plan must
include clear and convincing evidence that such water features will be supplied with sufficient
water whether by natural means or by the provision of sufficient appropriate water rights."
No open water is being proposed with the exception of the park irrigation pond. The wetland will
be supported by the runoff from the subdivision and the lowering of the wetlands area closer to
groundwater.

10/01/2015: A mitigation and monitoring plan will need to be developed to indicate how these
two Natural Habitats Areas — wetland with buffer and upland - will be installed and monitored to
ensure success. The wetland will be designed as a wetland and will have responding success
criteria, e.g., a wetland soil moisture regime. The upland will be designed and monitored for the
establishment of native trees, shrubs, and grasses/forbs, and all areas will be evaluated for the
establishment of native and desirable plants, with limited weeds and bare spots.
Acknowledged.
10101/2015: : The Mitigation and Monitoring Plan document will be attached to
the development agreement. A letter of credit to ensure the Natural Habitat areas
can be established per the success criteria will be required. Please prepare an
estimate for what it would cost to recreate the wetland and upland habitat areas,
should the success criteria not be met.
Acknowledged.

regarding HOA maintenance and intended uses of the wetland and open space areas.
There are ongoing discussions about ownership of this portion of the site. This may be
maintained by Parks or the HOA depending on the outcome of those discussions. For now a
note was added regarding the HOA maintaining.

10/01/2015: A wetland delineation report completed on March 9, 2015, assessed the wetlands at 4.5
acres. A subsequent wetland delineation report completed on June 24, 2015, assessed the wetlands
at 2.2 acres. The City accepted the June 24, 2015 wetland delineation, with the agreement that 2.2
acres of wetland will be mitigated on -site, including a 100 foot buffer, and that the 2.3 acre difference
between the delineations would be maintained as enhanced upland habitat.

10/01/2015: The code allows for varying buffer widths within a project, with the goal of meeting
the average of the required buffer widths on the site. For this project, please provide the
following through a vignette/detail on the site plan:
• The total area required for a straight 100' buffer around the 2.2 acres of mitigated wetland
versus the proposed total buffer area.
• Please add dimensions for the buffer widths around the mitigated wetlands so staff can
evaluate these smaller buffer widths and uses within the buffer zone. Refer to Section 3.4.1(E) of
the Land Use Code for allowable uses within a buffer zone
• The location and area for the mitigated and enhanced 2.3 acres of upland habitat.
This sheet will need to be further refined and discussed with City staff.

10/01/2015: In the document Project Site Characteristics and Pertinent Environmental Report
History, it states that "An open water body (pond) will be created as part of the compensatory
wetland mitigation approach. This pond will be created in lieu of a portion of the vegetated
wetlands to be impacted." Staff does not agree with this approach as 2.2 acres of wetland will
need to be mitigated and successfully established on -site, with a 100' buffer. Incorporating an
open water pond into the design is fine, as long as 2.2 acres of wetland are mitigated on -site,
with a 100' buffer, plus an additional 2.3 acres of enhanced upland habitat.
The open water has been removed. The only open water will be the irrigation pond for the park

Originated: 09/29/2015 09/29/2015: Park Planning:
We have several comments for the East Ridge Major Amendment/Re-plat.
o We will require that the proposed surface swales for
stormwater be piped across the park site.
This has been discussed in the meetings and over email. The
swales were eliminated as much as possible.
o We will require a raw water delivery system and easements as
part of your development.
These have been provided.
o The irrigation pond location has yet to be determined. We want to work
with you on a more central pond location, this will affect the proposed
property lines.
This has been discussed in the meetings and over email. The pond is
located where it was requested and provides the volume required.
o Can the wetlands and water quality area shrink in size?
These areas are sized appropriately for the constraints provided by parks, stormwater
and environmental planning and the needs set forth for LID requirements.
o We would like to meet and discuss the irrigation and stormwater pond
locations, park property lines, stormwater swales, and irrigation supply
prior to the project hearing.
A meeting was held and attended by those involved.
o We would like to have one simplified water system. It is odd that
we have to develop 2 separate ponds adjacent to each other, one for
storm and one for irrigation?
This has been addressed.
