landscapes that require less water: The standards for Irrigation Systems ensure irrigation
systems are designed to apply water efficiently to meet the needs of the landscape.
What projects are subject to the standards? ..,...a f:;:. -. i"; :.•.:i ,
All projects within the city limits that are required to, submit a landscape plan to the City
as part of the development review process. In general, this includes all` commercial,
industrial, institutional, and multi -family projects. Duplexes are also included when they
are part of a planned unit development. The standards apply to common. areas of single_ -
family developments; but do'not apply to single-family residential' lots.
What do I have to do tocomply with the Landscaping standards?
Submit a landscape plan as part of the development review process. The plan must meet
the requirements in the document, Landscaping Standards for Water Conservation before
the development plan is approved. „
What do 1 have to do to comply with the Irrigation System standards?
Submit an irrigation plan as part of the construction permit review process. The plan must '
meet the requirements spelled out in the document, Irrigation System Standards for
Water ConservatiorL.T he City will review the plan, and then inspect the system after
installation. The irrigation plan and system inspection must be approved by the City `
before a certificate of occupancy is issued. If construction of the irrigation system is
delayed until after construction is completed, a certificate of occupancy can be issued '
only with an acceptable bond deposited with the City.
How strict are the1 standards?
The standards most important to water conservation are mandatoryrequirements,
identified with the word shall.. Other standards are more flexible, they use the phrases -, •:,> „,

I have reviewed this landscape plan and it does not comply with the standards marked below.
Landscape Plan Requirements
❑ 1. The landscape plan shall contain a general note calling for the review and approval by the City .
of Fort Collins of any required landscape irrigation system, prior to the issuance of a Building
Permit.
2. The landscape plan shall include the total area (in square feet) for each landscape category.
Landscape categories are distinguished by their water requirements and intended maintenance
level. Examples of possible categories include, but are not limited to, high water turfgrass, low
water turfgrass, low water planting beds, moderate water planting beds, and non -plant areas
(paved areas, etc.).
Sze_
❑ 3. Mulches shall be used for planting beds. The mulch can be either organic or inorganic, and
shall be applied to a minimum depth of 3 inches. In order to prevent large expanses of barren
mulch, there shall be a minimum plant cover of 50 percent within 5 years of planting.

Dear Ms. Harter,
The Fort Collins - Loveland Water District and the South Fort Collins Sanitation District have reviewed
the above mentioned project, received December 19, 1997, and submit the following comments:
The existing 4-inch water line is to be shown. The line is generally located 10 feet west of the
existing sanitary sewer line. A note to pothole the existing water line to verify the location is to be
included on the drawings.
The detention pond may have to be shifted to the west depending on the location of the existing
water line.
The District does not allow trees or other landscaping within the District's easement.
Please do not hesitate to contact me at 226-3104, ext. 14, if you have any questions or require additional
information.

is no actually part of the property.

RE. Staff comments on the Advantage Center PDP/Final Plan
Dear Bud:
Staff has reviewed the Advantage Center PDP/Final Plan that was submitted
on December 16, 1997, and would like to offer the following comments:
1. The Advance Planning Department stated "The entire landscape plan is
very awkward in terms of species and placement. Instead of explaining all
the problems, we suggested solutions. We're not sure how the front area will
end up after detaching the sidewalk so we didn't offer specific solutions there.
Any questions, call Clark at 221-6225 or Doug at 221-6226." (Please see
the attached redlined landscape plan.)

shall comply with ANSI Al 17.1-1992 with running slopes no greater
