If they are ok with it then we are ok with it. If they are not, you will need to extend the sewer main in the street to allow for a perpendicular service to this new lot.

Department: Stormwater Engineering Contact: Heather McDowell, 970-224-6065, hmcdowell@fcgov.com Topic: General Comment Number: 1 Comment Originated: 08/23/2016 08/23/2016: 1. Please note that we do not have any specific water quantity, quality or LID requirements for this type of project because it is a single family residential lot with no portion of the subdivision inclusive of any other tract or lots other than the single lot. If this project was a multiple lot subdivision then the stormwater detention, water quality and LID requirements would hold. That said, if there were to be additional lots on this property that were developed in the future in the same fashion, we would then look at this as a standard development project and the standard stormwater requirements would then be required for all lots within this parcel.

See redlines. 4 Comment Num4_.. 3 .,,,mment Originated: 08/25/2016 08/25/2016: City of Fort Collins Land Use Code [Section 3.2.1 (E)(3)], requires that to the extent reasonably feasible, all plans be designed to incorporate water conservation materials and techniques. This includes use of low -water -use plants and grasses in landscaping or re -landscaping and reducing bluegrass lawns as much as possible. Native plants and wildlife -friendly (ex: pollinators; songbirds) landscaping and maintenance are also encouraged. Please refer to the Fort Collins Native Plants document available online and published by the City of Fort Collins Natural Areas Department for guidance on native plants; the link is: http://www.fcgov.com/naturalareas/pdf/nativeplants20l3.pdf. Comment Number: 4 Comment Originated: 08/25/2016 08/25/2016: Please be aware, the creation or enforcement of covenants that prohibit or limit xeriscape or drought -tolerant landscapes, or that require primarily turf -grass are prohibited by both the State of Colorado and the City of Fort Collins. Comment Number: 5 Comment Originated: 08/25/2016 08/25/2016: Our city has an established identity as a forward -thinking community that cares about the quality of life it offers its citizens now and into the future. Thus, the City of Fort Collins has many sustainability programs and goals that may benefit this project. Of particular interest may be the: 1) Green Building Program: http://www.fcgov.com/enviro/green-building.php, contact Tony Raeker at 970-416-4238 or traeker@fcgov.com 2) Solar Energy: http://www.fcgov. com/utilities/residential/renewables/solar-contractors-resource s, contact Norm Weaver at 970-416-2312 or nweaver@fcgov.com 3) Integrated Design Assistance Program: fcgov.com/idap, contact Gary Schroeder at 970-224-6003 or gschroeder@fcgov.com 4) Urban Agriculture: hftp://www.fcgov.com/developmentreview/urbanagriculture.php Please consider City sustainability goals and ways this development can engage with these efforts. Let me know if I can help connect you to these programs. Department: PFA Contact: Jim Lynxwiler, 970-416-2869, jynxwiler@poudre4ire.org Topic: General Comment Number: 1 Comment Originated: 08/23/2016 08/23/2016: PFA has no comments regarding the Habitat BDR subdivision at this time. Access and water supply requirements have been met. 3 Comment Num....r: 5 „omment Originated: 09/01/2016 09/01/2016: In accordance with Section 24-95 of the City Code, the Developer is responsible for constructing the local portion of the public streets adjacent to the Property prior to the issuance of the building permit. If the sidewalk will remain attached, a repay for the sidewalk that was installed by the City will be due. If the entire walk (as outlined in comment 4) will need to be replaced, it may make the most financial sense to detach the sidewalk, so a repay to the City will not be due, since it would be in the ultimate location. Comment Number: 6 Comment Originated: 09/01/2016 09/01/2016: Please work with Stormwater to determine the drainage easement requirements along the south of the building where the swale will be located as well as offsite to the east where the drainage is expected to sheet flow. Any offsite easements dedicated to the City, if needed, will need to go through the dedication of easement by separate document process. The process can be found here: http://www.fcgov.com/engineering/pdf/Easrowdedications20lO.pdf Comment Number: 7 Comment Originated: 09/01/2016 09/01/2016: Add the following note to the plat: "There shall be no private conditions, covenants or restrictions that prohibit or limit the installation of resource conserving equipment or landscaping that are allowed by sections 12-120-12-122 of the City Code." Department: Environmental Planning Contact: Rebecca Everette, 970-416-2625, rverette@fcgov.com Topic: General Comment Number: 1 Comment Originated: 08/25/2016 08/25/2016: This site is located within 500 feet of known natural habitat features (Avery Park wetland and riparian areas along the ditch). An Ecological Characterization Study would typically required for sites in close proximity to natural features. However, as there are intervening parcels between the ditch/wetland and this property, and the standard buffer would not extend to this project's parcel, the ECS is waived for this site. Regardless, please consider the use of native plants and grasses to complement the natural feature, in accordance with Article 3.2.1 (E)(2)(3) of the Land Use Code. Comment Number: 2 Comment Originated: 08/25/2016 08/25/2016: In regard to LED light fixtures, cooler color temperatures are harsher at night and cause more disruption to circadian (biological) rhythms for both humans and wildlife. Please consider a warmer color temperature (warm white, 3000K or less) for your LED light fixtures. Please also consider fixtures with dimming capabilities so that light levels can be adjusted as needed. Site light sources shall be fully shielded and down -directional to minimize up -light, light spillage and glare [see LUC 3.2.4(D)(3)].

Comment Summary: Department: Engineering Development Review Contact: Marc Ragasa, 970.221.6603, mragasa@fcgov.com Topic: General Comment Number: 1 Comment Originated: 09/01/2016 09/01/2016: ROW will be needed to accommodate a detached sidewalk (45) and a parkway (6). Comment Number: 2 Comment Originated: 09/01/2016 09/01/2016: A 9' standard Utility Easement behind the ROW is required, not the proposed 5' easement. Comment Number: 3 Comment Originated: 09/01/2016 09/01/2016: More discussion will be needed regarding the sanitary sewer service layout. Engineering prefers to have the service tie directly from the manhole in Skyline Drive to the building. If the configuration stays the way it is proposed, then an encroachment permit will be needed and language in the development agreement may need to be added regarding the encroachment. Comment Number: 4 Comment Originated: 09/01/2016 09/01/2016: As proposed, the portions of sidewalk between the driveway, water service and the sanitary sewer service will also need to be replaced. The integrity of the walk will be compromised with the various sidewalk cuts and should be replaced altogether.
