Comment Number: 2 Comment Originated: 10/11/2016 10/11/2016: The required parking for this development is 24 spaces, a modification would have to be requested and accepted to reduce the parking to the reduced size of 12 spaces. The 12 spaces proposed are currently part of Rodizio Grill's parking and approval from the property owner would need to be acquired in perpetuity to share as parking for this development. There is a concern of limited shared parking on this development, especially due to both establishments having the same use.

A. contemporary nature of the new building's design and form provide a challenge for maintaining the existing character of the historic area of adjacency, but the transitional location of the development site between the Old Town and River Districts allows for some flexibility in this regard.

Department: PFA Contact: Jim Lynxwiler, 970.416.2869, jlynxwiler(a�poudre-fire.org Topic: General Comment Number: 1 Comment Originated: 10/04/2016 10/04/2016: FIRE LANES Fire access is required to within 150' of all exterior portions of any building as measured by an approved route around the perimeter. For the purposes of this section, fire access cannot be measured from Jefferson St (an arterial road). Access can be measured from the shared parking area to the west of the property and from Linden St. From these points the building remains approximately 70' out of access, however as the proposed building will be equipped with a fire sprinkler system, the out of access condition is considered acceptable. Comment Number: 2 Comment Originated: 10/04/2016 10/04/2016: EMERGENCY ACCESS EASEMENT The proposed Emergency Access Easement does not appear to connect with the Public Way (Jefferson Street). The EAE should be shown on the site plan and labeled on the plat. Comment Number: 3 Comment Originated: 10/04/2016 10/04/2016: FIRE LANE SIGNS The limits of the fire lane shall be fully defined. Fire lane sign locations should be indicated on future plan sets. Code language provided below. > IFC D103.6: Where required by the fire code official, fire apparatus access roads shall be marked with permanent NO PARKING - FIRE LANE signs complying with Figure D103.6. Signs shall have a minimum dimension of 12 inches wide by 18 inches high and have red letters on a white reflective background. Signs shall be posted on one or both sides of the fire apparatus road as required by Section D103.6.1 or D103.6.2. 5 Unfortunately exiting tree number 8 a 43 inch diameter Siberian Elm had to be removed. Add or shift a new tree back into this general location. Also tree number 24 which is a 31 inch diameter Siberian elm shown to be retained at the SE part of the site now has about 50% of the canopy that is dead. This includes all of the entire south main stem. This likely occurred from the November 2014 freeze. No mitigation is required for these trees. Record their status in the tree inventory table. Tree number 24 should be downgraded to poor condition. Comment Number: 3 Comment Originated: 10/18/2016 10/18/2016: Please list Iseli Fastigiate Spruce as a tree. Also include it in the tree diversity table. Comment Number: 4 10/18/2016: Show irrigated lawn in the parkway. Department: Historic Preservation Contact: Maren Bzdek, 970-221-6206, mbzdekna.fcgov.com Topic: General Comment Number: 1 Comment Originated: 10/18/2016 Comment Originated: 10/18/2016 10/18/2016: The proposed design is generally compatible with the requirements of Land Use Code 3.4.7 (F) (3) and reflects the LPC's request for the addition of brick material that would provide a stronger transition from the brick Jefferson block and Union Pacific Depot into the River District, which provides more flexibility in terms of common building materials. The large format, grey brick veneer choice is an appropriate option to consider in answer to this request. Comment Number: 2 Comment Originated: 10/18/2016 10/18/2016: The proposed design is compliant with 3.4.7 (F) (1), which addresses height, setback, and width of new construction and similarity to the historic area of adjacency. Comment Number: 3 Comment Originated: 10/18/2016 10/1812016: Regarding the maintenance of visual and pedestrian connections required by 3.4.7(F)(4), the Union Pacific Depot building at 200 Jefferson Street maintains its prominence on the block due to the 195-foot distance between the two buildings. The height and placement of the proposed building does not dominate or detract from the existing historic structures adjacent to the site. Site placement also considers visibility of Union Pacific building from the Jefferson and Linden intersection. The view from the alley east of the Jefferson Block, looking across Jefferson Street, is also meant to enhance a visual connection between Old Town District and the restaurant's south entrance. Comment Number: 4 Comment Originated: 10/18/2016 10/18/2016: Regarding 3.4.7(F)(2) LUC 3.4.7(F)(2) requires new structures to provide visual ties to the historic buildings through design elements and patterns. The triplet pattern of windows on the fagade (south elevation) is inspired by the window pattern and proportions in the row of historic buildings across Jefferson Street. The a "native landscape" aesthetic, especially as this project is within the Poudre River District. The City of Fort Collins Natural Areas Department has a document published online regarding native plants available through local and state nurseries.

Staff recommends 3000K (or less) in alignment with The American Medical Association (AMA) and International Dark -Sky Association (IDA) both recommend using lighting that has a corrected color temperature (CCT) of no more than 3000 degrees Kelvin, in order to limit the amount of blue light in the night environment. Blue light brightens the night sky, creates more glare than any other color of light, and exposure to blue light at night has been shown to harm human health and endanger wildlife. Use of warmer color temperature (warm white, 3000K or less) for light fixtures is highly preferred in addition to fixtures with dimming capabilities. In addition to environmental health impacts this preference is also due to resident complaints regarding LED lighting.

The plans don't appear to reflect the removal of the driveway on Linden Street. Please update the plans to reflect this removal. Comment Number: 5 Comment Originated: 10/19/2016 10/19/2016: With the apparent intention of shared parking spaces with Rodizio, it would seem that a minor amendment to Rodizio's site plan to reflect the now shared nature of the parking spots is now needed. Comment Number: 6 Comment Originated: 10/19/2016 10/19/2016: There appears to be a modification request proposed for parking space requirements. I will defer to Planning on the review and recommendation regarding the modification, however, part of the justification indicated the presence of on -street parking along Jefferson Street. It should be noted that as part of the Jefferson Street improvements project, existing parking along the north side of Jefferson Street is being removed and parking along Jefferson will only occur on the south side of the street. Topic: Plat Comment Number: 1 Comment Originated: 10/19/2016 10/19/2016: The 8 foot utility easement shown on the plat should also bean access easement to encompass the sidewalk for the portion of sidewalk outside of right-of-way.

Topic: General Comment Number: 2 Comment Originated: 10/19/2016 10/19/2016: Please coordinate the information regarding proposed offsite easements to the west. The plat, civil, and site plan show various access, emergency and utility easements, with only the civil set depicting all three. A letter of intent from that property owner consenting in concept to the easements, should be provided prior to hearing (though I suspect the ownership might be the same?) Comment Number: 3 Comment Originated: 10/19/2016 10/19/2016: The plans should reflect the presence of a different, wider access ramp at the corner of Linden and Jefferson with truncated dome detection. The drawings incorrectly imply that the existing ramp is substandard and would theoretically need to be upgraded.
