Comment Number: 2 Comment Originated: 11/16/2016 11/16/2016: The labeling of water features is a bit difficult to determine on the water plan and profiles. The City suggests labeling all water features on the Utility Plan and increasing the scale. Comment Number: 3 Comment Originated: 11/16/2016 11/16/2016: Repeat comment. The sewer running in an east -west direction has to be a public main with manholes at any bend. Comment Number: 4 Comment Originated: 11/16/2016 11/16/2016: Additional discussion and coordination is required for the sanitary sewer connection on the south side of Horsetooth Road. Comment Number: 5 Comment Originated: 11/16/2016 11/16/2016: Coordination is required for the meter placements on all water services. Generally, the City would prefer the meter close to the building and the curb stops near the mains in a landscaped area. Comment Number: 6 Comment Originated: 11/16/2016 11/16/2016: Please show all utility crossings on the water and sewer profiles. Comment Number: 8 Comment Originated: 11/16/2016 11/16/2016. Not all water services are labeled and it looks like some should be larger than a 1-inch service. Please provide water service sizing calculations to verify service sizes.

The proposed project should be in the early to mid -design stage for this meeting to be effective and is typically scheduled after the Current Planning conceptual review meeting. Applicants of new commercial or multi -family projects are advised to call 416-2341 to schedule a pre -submittal meeting. Applicants should be prepared to present site plans, floor plans, and elevations and be able to discuss code issues of occupancy, square footage and type of construction being proposed.

Overall the site appears well -lit and no significant change would be incurred in using higher than 3000K corrected color temperature lights. City Staff does not see a safety issue with using 3000K or less fixtures in the SL3 and SL4 luminaires. I'll follow up directly with the lighting engineer for the project. At times in the development review room it appears there is curiosity about why Environmental Planning is commenting on lighting. For at least a decade, there has been a growing movement to integrate health planning into urban planning and design. There are several industry publications on the topic. Health planning includes environmental health planning. Environmental planning includes environmental health planning. Thus, our group comments on a range of topics, including lighting. If there is further interest in anything mentioned above, please do not hesitate to contact me directly to discuss. Thank you.

Under Required Tree Mitigation, the plans state 13 trees, but under the Provided Tree Mitigation, the plans state 15 trees. Please correct the Provided Tree Mitigation to 13 trees. 11 /15/2016: Please identify these trees on final plan 09/02/2016: Provide for the 13 upsized mitigation trees and a finalized plant schedule with trees sizes, method of transplant and on the final landscape plan.

Please see Land Use Code D.5 Comment Number: 9 Comment Originated: 11/16/2016 11/16/2016: There seems to be one extra GS (Shademaster Honeylocust) noted on Sheet 6 of the plans. Please omit this note as there is already identification of the two Honeylocusts. There are only 6 GK (Kentucky Coffeetree) shown on the map, while the Plant (wildflowers) to the natural habitat buffer zone mix. If native grass seeded areas are to be included in the design of the natural habitat buffer zone, then forbs must be added with the grasses for the project to gain approval. Otherwise, the weed species, which are also herbaceous (like the wildflowers) have a better chance of taking over long-term. Regardless, mowing should not occur in the natural habitat buffer zone as this maintenance activity negates the intent of the buffer zone. Vegetation heights in approved NHBZ areas are not subject to the same height requirements for traditional landscape areas. Vegetation is meant to serve wildlife as cover and nutritional resources including those needed by songbirds and native pollinators. Staff understands and has heard the resistance to addition of forts, however, comments stand. Also a few notes: 1) Several City Staff with experience in installing, establishing and maintaining native landscapes such as these are ready and able to support the City of Fort Collins Housing Catalyst ground maintenance personnel with this area in the form of information sharing and on -site visits with S. Blochowiak, Environmental Planner. 2) The mix that should be used will be provided and has been created by a Natural Areas Technician, who has much experience with projects such as these including ways to avoid certain challenges. Additionally, this City Staff person has also already notified seed companies to begin preparing these mixes for the 2017 season, so availability should not be an issue. 3) City Staff are discussing the creation of contractor training workshops to support on -site personnel with these types of landscapes. Please stay tuned. Comment Number: 4 Comment Originated: 11/16/2016 11/16/2016: Language needs to be added to Landscape Notes regarding detailed and proper installation of native seeded areas. City Staff can provide these specifications and standard notes to be added. Comment Number: 5 Comment Originated: 11/16/2016 11/16/2016-. Language will need to be added to the Development Agreement for Natural Resources including success criteria for the natural habitat buffer zone area. In addition, a weed management plan will need to be included as an exhibit in the Development Agreement. Let's discuss further at Staff Review meeting 11/16. Topic: Lighting Plan Comment Number: 6 Comment Originated: 11/16/2016 11/16/2016: 3000K or less is shown for one luminaire type on lighting plans, however, still unclear what corrected color temperature is being selected for SL3 and SL4 fixtures. Also, BUG ratings should be 1-0-1 (Backlight; Uplight; Glare ratings). While the lighting request is not currently a Land Use Code standard, a heads up that this may change in 2017 or 2018. There is continued interest (and complaints) among City residents to reduce glare from LED and other lights containing high amounts of blue light. Reducing amount of blue light in the night sky is aligned with American Medical Association and International Dark Skies Association recommendations.

Department: Environmental Planning Contact: Stephanie Blochowiak, 970-416-4290, sblochowiaka()fcgov.com Topic: Landscape Plans Comment Number: 1 Comment Originated 11/16/2016: More details needed on the landscape plans. Especially regarding the natural habitat buffer zone (NHBZ) design. Current design does not seem to match planned programming in that area and the area adjacent. Specifically, what is the anticipated maintenance regime expected in the area directly west of the NHBZ? Will the PBSI pasture mix be mowed regularly? And to what height? What use is anticipated in the area - active recreation or passive recreation? Environmental Planning Staff have less to contribute to installation and maintenance suggestions in the pasture mix area, as long as it is known that installation and appropriate maintenance practices in this seeded area need to be quite different from those in the NHBZ seeded areas. Comments brought up during Staff Review 11/16 related to the need for clear delineation on the ground through design or signage in the real difference in these two areas. So that when on the ground maintenance personnel are doing work, it is clear where to mow and not to mow and the intent of each separate seeded space and to eliminate the amount of chemicals that might be applied on the site overall. Comment Number: 2 Comment Originated: 11/16/2016. More details needed on the landscape plans. Especially regarding the natural habitat buffer zone (NHBZ) design. Current design seems more complicated than is necessary, especially with application of native seed mixes. While several mixes increase species diversity, Environmental Planning is not convinced all the seed mixes listed will be ordered correctly and applied as called for on -site, especially directly adjacent to the pasture mix area. In all likelihood, the same seed mix would be thrown down in the active non-NHBZ space and the NHBZ space. The NHBZ area would also most likely get mowed, unless there is a clear delineation that separates the two spaces. 11/16/2016 11/16/2016 Simplifying the design, including limiting design to only two seed mixes (PBSI turf mix and Upland mix created by City Staff for the NHBZ) may make it easier for personnel on the ground to both install and apply appropriate maintenance techniques for each separate seeded area. Let's discuss further during Staff Review meeting 11/16.
