This includes the bus stop on Stanford. The original plan (PA2) was designed to a smaller standard then Transfort's current standard and that which would typically apply to this latest submittal. Transfort encourages the Multifamily developers to provide the larger bus stop concrete surface as shown on your projects plans. Transfort would also encourage the developer to provide the patron amenities at the stop which would include a bus stop shelter, bike rack and trash facility. Please contact me with any questions..

Sewer services also need to be abandoned at the main. Please call this out and indicate all services being reused or abandoned. Possibly an exhibit showing the existing services and their proposed use/abandonment would be helpful as the status of some lines during construction with the overall Mall project is unclear. 01/19/2016: Please advise how existing water taps will be used/abandoned. Please see redlines. Comment Number: 11 Comment Originated: 02/24/2016 02/24/2016: Please see updated redlines (plans, report & sub -basin map).

Contact: Jesse Schlam, 970-218-2932, jschlam@fcgov.com Topic: Erosion Control Comment Number: 1 Comment Originated: 12/28/2015 02/22/2016: Erosion Control Plan, Report and Escrow are all acceptable and the comments are resolved. The Development Agreement will need to be amended with the change in escrow amount. 12/28/2015: Erosion Control Plan and Details have some significant redlines that need to be addressed. First this plan may be better served by a closer view or lot sections of the project and adding storm infrastructure as well as flow arrows or grades to the grade lines to facilitate the review of the material. At this time it is difficult to see if the supplied materials are adequate to meet the City's Criteria. Erosion Control Report has two redlines based upon an old template location an who to get a hold of. Erosion control escrow will need to be submitted; acknowledged note wanting acceptable plans before that can be calculated. Please submit; Erosion Control Plan, Erosion Control Report, and an Escrow / Security Calculation based upon the returned comments. If you need clarification concerning this section, or if there are any questions please contact Jesse Schlam 970-218-2932 or email @ jschlam@fcgov.com 7 Comment Number: 3 Comment Originated: 01/26/2016 01/26/2016: WATER SUPPLY This is a carryover comment from previous review rounds: The utility plan set does not appear to include all existing hydrants currently available along Stanford Road. Existing hydrants cannot be removed without review and approval of the authority having jurisdiction and as such, PFA will require verification that those hydrants in question are still in place. Please update your utility plans on future plan revisions. Please contact me as soon as possible to discuss, if hydrants have been removed along Stanford Rd. Comment Number: 4 Comment Originated: 01/26/2016 01/26/2016: ROOF ACCESS I was not able to locate a rooftop exhibit as mentioned in the applicant's response letter. Comment Number: 5 Comment Originated: 01/26/2016 01/26/2016: AERIAL FIRE APPARATUS REQUIREMENTS The project team has gone to great effort to bring Lots 3,4, & 5 into general compliance with the fire code. Well done. Aerial fire apparatus requirements have not been met on Lot 6 and as previously discussed, a plan for meeting the intent of the fire code through alternative means will be required no later than at time of building permit. It is recommended that the project team look at various provisions in the high rise section of the code before submitting a formal plan for review. Alternative mean of compliance are subject to review and approval of the fire marshal. Comment Number: 6 Comment Originated: 01/26/2016 01/26/2016: SECURITY GATES/MAN GATES As gate design is critical to meeting minimum fire access requirements, for building perimeters, a means of opening gates from the outside in the event of an emergency should be indicated in future plans. Comment Number: 7 Comment Originated: 01/26/2016 01/26/2016: FIRE PITS/FIRE FEATURES Fire pits or fire features fueled by natural gas are allowed. Wood burning or smoke producing fire pits are prohibited. GAS GRILLS Gas grills require a 10' separation distance (both horizontal and vertical) from any combustible construction or vegetation. Department: Stormwater Engineering Contact: Dan Mogen, 970-224-6192, dmogen@fcgov.com Topic: General Comment Number: 6 Comment Originated: 01/19/2016 02/24/2016: Comment still applies. It is seen that sheet flows will enter the facilities in many cases; however, it appears there is curb and gutter around SF 4.0. Will curb cuts be installed? See redlines. 01/19/2016: Please provide details on how surface flows will enter rain gardens and sand filters. Also, detail the connection of the pipe outfalls and riprap in these facilities. R Comment Number: 21 Comment Originated: 02/24/2016 02/24/2016: Existing tree number 439 is a 23 inch Green Ash to retain. This tree is quite close to the sidewalks being proposed at the corner. This construction impact will need to be evaluated in the next site meeting that is requested in comment number 9. Department: Light And Power Contact: Janet McTague, 970-224-6154, imctague@fcgov.com Topic: General Comment Number: 1 Comment Originated: 01/25/2016 01/25/2016: We will need to coordinate transformer locations within 10' of a paved surface and accessible by a line truck. We'll also need to coordinate the route of the primary line; it can follow the internal drive or be parallel with Stanford. Comment Number: 2 Comment Originated: 01/25/2016 01/25/2016: Light and Power installs the secondary service to the "first vault", if there is one. The owner is responsible for installation and maintenance of the secondary service to the buildings. Department: PFA Contact: Jim Lynxwiler, 970416-2869, ilynxwiler@poudre-fire.org Topic: General Comment Number: 1 Comment Originated: 01/26/2016 01/26/2016: EMERGENCY ACCESS EASEMENT While the applicant's response letter of 10/26/2015 referenced, "Emergency Access Easements have been created and added to the utility plans," I was unable to find such an exhibit included in the Utility set. I found a legend on the utility plans cover sheets indicating such but found nothing labeled anywhere on the plans. On a separate sheet titled, "FIRE ACCESS" I see a hashed area which appears to coincide with what might be the proposed fire lanes but nothing is labeled and it does not identify the full limits of the proposed fire lane. In fact, some areas of the fire lane are omitted (especially in Lot 5 & 6). In addition: All fire lanes shall be dedicated by separate document and labeled on the plans as an Emergency Access Easement. The easement legend currently refers to them as a Fire Access Easement. Please adjust on future plan revisions. Comment Number: 2 Comment Originated: 01/26/2016 01/26/2016: AUTO -TURN EXHIBIT A turning template was submitted but does not include all needed turning movements in all areas, especially those needed in Lot 3. Turning movements appear to be in conflict with parked cars in Lot 4. No turning movements were provided for Lot 6 and the EAE is not shown to connect with the public way on the south side of the site. Turning radii need to be labeled on future plan sets. 5 Comment Number: 15 Comment Originated: 02/24/2016 02/24/2016: Evaluate adding some trees to the landscape areas that are north and south of the parking area on landscape plan sheet 8 of 16. Comment Number: 16 Comment Originated: 02/24/2016 02/24/2016: Evaluate if a couple of ornamental trees can be located on both sides of the walk entering the middle building from Stanford Road. Comment Number: 17 Comment Originated: 02/24/2016 02/24/2016: Evaluate providing a greater distance between some of the exiting trees and entry sidewalks entering buildings from Stanford Road. It would be good to try to provide 10 feet of separation. Tree # 269 on landscape sheet 5 of 16 Tree # 517 on landscape sheet 6 of 16 Tree # 506 on landscape sheet 6 of 16 Tree not numbered on landscape sheet 9 of 16 but is actually tree number 295 a 21 inch diameter Green ash. The walk needs to be moved away from this tree. Comment Number: 18 Comment Originated: 02/24/2016 02/24/2016: On landscape mitigation sheet 10 of 16, in the table that records existing trees to remain, the mitigation total for trees to retain is 50. Below the table in the Mitigation Tree Schedule 54 trees are recorded as total mitigation trees provided by saving onsite trees. Evaluate and resolve this discrepancy in numbers and adjust total number of required mitigation trees. Comment Number: 19 Comment Originated: 02/24/2016 02/24/2016: On mitigation sheet 11 of 16, in the mitigation tree schedule for that sheet, it appears that there may be some errors. Some of the species that have been changed since the previous review still are listed (Autumn Blaze Maple as one example). Edit this table and check for accuracy of tree numbers. This error may be occurring on the following sheets so please check and edit those as needed. Comment Number: 20 Comment Originated: 02/24/2016 02/24/2016: There appears to be some tree inventory inaccuracies along Stanford Drive just to the north of Monroe. Tree number 293 appears to actually be tree number 294, which is a green ash and not a ponderosa pine. There is an existing Honeylocust right at the corner that is not shown to retain. It needs to be identified and listed to retain with the species, size, mitigation and condition recorded. Since it was not on the original mall plans it can be credited for mitigation. Contact the City Forester to get inventory and mitigation information on this Honeylocust tree. From where the fence ends going north along Stanford to the curb cut: There are 4 ash trees and one spruce. The spruce is the north tree. (These include trees 295, 298, 299, 300 and 301) Tree number 299 appears to be labeled incorrectly as tree number 297. It is an Ash and not a Ponderosa Pine. 4 Department: Forestry Contact: Tim Buchanan, 970-221-6361, tbuchanan@fcgov.com Topic: Landscape Plans Comment Number: 4 Comment Originated: 01/20/2016 01/20/2016: Confirm the accuracy of trees to retain sheet 11. Check all trees to retain on this sheet with the trees shown to retain on the site plan. As one example where there appears to be inconsistency tree number 301 is shown to retain but will not be retained on the other plans. Comment Number: S Comment Originated: 01/20/2016 01/20/2016: On sheet 6 an entry sidewalk is shown going through existing trees at two locations. Position these sidewalks well away from these trees so they can be adequately protected. Comment Number: 9 Comment Originated: 01/20/2016 01/20/2016: Set an onsite meeting to review the detailed grading information around existing trees to retain and to also further evaluate building foundation impact to some of the exiting trees. The meeting should include the City Forester, Chief Planner, Landscape Architect and Civil Engineer. Edit plans after the meeting to incorporate any changes. Comment Number: 10 Comment Originated: 01/20/2016 01/20/2016: Along the north boundary evaluate the objective of providing more screening with trees. Consult with the City Planner for the project about the importance of this objective and add upright juniper of similar trees to this area if needed to provide greater screening. Side parking lot areas need to have one tree per 40 feet at a minimum. More trees than this would be need for enhanced screening. Comment Number: 12 Comment Originated: 02/24/2016 02/24/2016: Please list a cultivar for Honeylocust such as Skyline. Currently Honeylocust are not listed by cultivar. Comment Number: 13 Comment Originated: 02/24/2016 02/24/2016: Evaluate using a shade tree with a broader canopy along the north boundary to provide more buffering. Currently American Sentry Linden is used, which is a tree with a narrower crown. Comment Number: 14 Comment Originated: 02/24/2016 02/24/2016: There are 6 American Sentry Linden listed in the plant list on sheet 2 of 16 but more are used on the plans. Check for the actual count of this species as well as it would be good to check for accuracy of all tree species numbers in the plant list. 3 Department: Engineering Development Review Contact: Marc Virata, 970-221-6567, mvirata@fcgov.com Topic: General Comment Number: 6 Comment Originated: 02/24/2016 02/24/2016: The following info was provided from Xcel and Century Link on the vacation of easements. Please work with Stephanie (Xcel) and Bob (Century Link) to resolve their concerns. I just need an OK from that they are now okay to proceed with the easements. I do have issues with the vacation of utility easements. We have a gas main that runs through Foothills Parkway on the south side of the proposed buildings. Where we are currently located it shows on your map as emergency access area. We will not agree to vacate this area. I also am going to need a utility easement to serve the buildings off of Stanford. We will be running our main on the east side of the buildings on Stanford. Please call me if you need anything further. Thank you.

Rulli @ CenturyLink.com> This looks mostly ok. If the "TELE" line indicates our duct run as slightly north of the red area in Detail 1, we're good. that has always been the biggest concern here and I'm glad to see McWhinney worked around it with their plan. Detail 5 shows a small area to be vacated at the east drive. It's very close to where CTL's plant (meet point in the ROW) meets the core Mall's entrance conduits. No lines are depicted here but Beck/IES placed 2x4" entrance conduits (now with fiber and copper) from the Meet point to the telco demark room. Hopefully they followed the drive line to be clear of vacate portion. If not..... Alberta will be responsible to shift that conduit run south to clear any overdig for the building there or to get out of the easement vacated as depicted. Without locates showing where it actually is in relation to Detail 5 — difficult to respond to that one -they should investigate that with McWhinney. The other slivers are non -issues for us Thanks for giving us a chance to look at this Bob 2 Fort Collins 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/deve/opmentreview February 27, 2016 Dean Barber McWhinney Real Estate Services Inc. c/o JPL Development 2725 Rocky Mountain Avenue Loveland, CO 80538 RE: Foothills Mall Redevelopment Multi -Family, FDP150048, 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.
