Comment Number: 3 Comment Originated: 09/30/2015 09/30/2015: The LPC made general comments regarding proportions: The step down height works well, the LPC was comfortable with the proportions of the building that it was broken down well and addresses compatibility with the neighborhood and Scott Apartment building. The LPC made general comments regarding the gable roof portion: LPC thought that the roof forms speak to the residential nature of the historic district. Consider adding craftsman elements to the gable roof, for example, exposed rafter ends. The LPC made general comments regarding the flat roofs: Take a second look at these to soften them by using a design element, such as parapeting, or explain why you decided to keep them as is. The LPC made general comments regarding materials: LPC thought that the brick material is compatible with the adjacent Fort Collins Landmark, Scott Apartments. The LPC made general comments regarding windows: The proportion of stair tower is successful, but take a second look at the patterning. The windows on the east portion of the building correctly borrow elements from the adjacent building and residential neighborhood. The LPC made general suggestions regarding greenery: Provide landscape plan with the next submittal. The LPC made general suggestions regarding setbacks: Provide a drawing that shows the dimensions of the setbacks of the proposed development compared to the setbacks of the Fort Collins Landmark, Scott Apartments. Acknlowledged, we have had our final meeting on 11118115 and since received a recommendation from the LPC. Comment Number: 4 Comment Originated: 09/30/2015 09/30/2015: Contact Karen McWilliams, at kmcwilliams@fcgov.com, to schedule the Final Review and Recommendation to Decision Maker of this development proposal with the LPC.

The Street Tree layout has been updated, refer to the landscape Plan LP103. Comment Number: 4 Comment Originated: 11/23/2015 11/23/2015: Along Locust Street place the first street tree east of College 20 feet from the stop sign. If the street light by the alley is to remain show three street trees along Locust Street with the east most tree 40 feet from the street light. If the street light is to be relocated then show 4 street trees along Locust Street, The Street Tree layout has been updated, refer to the landscape Plan LP103. Comment Number: 5 Comment Originated. 11/23/2015 11/23/2015: In the planting bed by the building along Locust Street there appears to be space for a small columnar tree. Crimson Pointe Plum with a size of 20 feet height and 4- 5 feet spread could be a good choice in these beds. Evaluate locating some plums in this area in appropriate locations and determine if at least 3 of these plums can possibly be used along the south wall of the building. This is not possible due to an agreement by the owner and future utility companies. That area will be a future utility corridor. Department: Historical Preservation Contact: Katie Dorn, 970-416-4250, kdorn a)fcgov.com Topic: General Comment Number: 1 Comment Originated: 09/30/2015 09/30/2015: The Landmark Preservation Commission (LPC) met on September 28, 2015 at a Work Session to review this Preliminary/Conceptual development proposal. Acknlowledged, we have had our final meeting on 11118115 and since received a recommendation from the LPC. Comment Number: 2 Comment Originated: 09/30/2015 09/30/2015: "LUC 3.4.7(F)(2): New structures shall be designed to be in character with such existing historic structures. Horizontal elements, such as cornices, windows, moldings and sign bands, shall be aligned with those of such existing historic structures to strengthen the visual ties among buildings. Window patterns of such existing structures (size, height, number) shall be repeated in new construction, and the pattern of the primary building entrance facing the street shall be maintained to the maximum extent feasible." In order to comply with 3.4.7(F)(2), the following suggestion was made by LPC: Consider a soldier course or row lock brick pattern that ties into the horizontal elements expressed in the Fort Collins Landmark, "Scott Apartments," across Locust Street to the proposed development. A Topic: General Comment Number: 6 Comment Originated: 09/30/2015 11/24/2015: The intent of having a building overhang encroach onto a sight distance easement would need to have the sight distance easement vertically described to limit its extent to the non -overhang area. At what height above finished grade would the overhang occur? We need to confirm that we're comfortable with the height in which the overhang would start. Response: The elevation of the bottom of the building overhang is at 4997. The easement height would be 12.03' above the finished grade of the alley. 09/30/2015: The proposed sight distance easement shown should be dedicated as right-of-way (a 10' x 10' triangle) in accordance with 7-11 F/12F. Regardless of whether this area is sight distance or right-of-way, the placement of bike racks with associated bike parking is problematic in this area and the bike parking should be shown outside of this area. Acknlowledged Comment Number: 7 Comment Originated: 09/30/2015 11/24/2015: The response indicated the wall has been removed, note that it appears to still be depicted on the civil plans and I'm presuming was intended to be removed. The landscape has been removed, refer to site plan. 09/3012015: The landscape wall along College Avenue sidewalk should be set back 2 feet from the back of walk in accordance with Figure 16-1 of LCUASS. The landscape has been removed, refer to site plan.

Department: Environmental Planning Contact: Rebecca Everette, 970416-2625, rverette fcgov.com Topic: Lighting Plan Comment Number: 2 Comment Originated: 09/16/2015 11119/2015: Thank you for providing details on the light fixtures. For the parking lot lights, please consider an LED fixture with a color temperature of 3,000K or less, rather than 4,000K. The lighting has been updated, refer to the lighting plan LL101. 09/16/2015: Detailed specifications for the light fixtures that will be used will be requried at the time of Final Plans. In regard to LED light fixtures, cooler color temperatures are harsher at night and cause more disruption to circadian rhythms for both humans and wildlife. Please consider a warmer color temperature (closer to 2700K) for your LED light fixtures. The lighting has been updated, refer to the lighting plan LL 101. The Unit Level Auuressing form can be obtained by contacting Lne GIS office at gis@fcgov.com or (970) 416-2483. Acknlowledged. Comment Number: 9 Comment Originated: 11/20/2015 11/20/2015: The site is two bike parking spaces short of meeting the minimum (1 required per bedroom and 4 required for the commercial space = 52 spaces total). Please provide two additional bike parking spaces. Acknlowledged, refer to site plan. Topic: Site Plan Comment Number: 5 Comment Originated: 09/25/2015 11/20/2015: With the revised site plan, you are still short of the minimum parking requirement. Even though the project is only short .1 parking space, staff is concerned about the project being under parked even after using two allowed parking reductions. Please explore adding a space or changing the unit mix to meet the parking standard. It is unlikely staff would support a modification request to the parking standard. Acknlowledged, refer to site plan. 09/25/2015: The site plan shows 27 parking spaces, which is 2 spaces short of the minimum required per Land Use Code 3.2.2(K)(1)(a)(1). You will require more parking given that the first floor will have commercial uses as well. Please provide a modification request to this standard or show how the proposed site plan meets the code via the alternative compliance strategies outlined in 3.2.2(K)(1)(a)(1)(a). Acknlowledged, refer to site plan. We have increased the parking to 28 spaces. Department: Engineering Development Review Contact: Marc Virata, 970-221-6567, mvirata fcgov.com Topic: Construction Drawings Comment Number: 10 Comment Originated: 09/30/2015 11/24/2015: The response is noted and perhaps is understood to be addressed at time of final. With the uncertainty at preliminary, it should be understood that at time of final review, Engineering may require alley improvements. The existing alley cross slopes and drainage information along the frontage should be provided on the grading plan along with the information on the proposed cuts to the alley. Full width alley paving may be required along the frontage as part of evaluation of final plan level information. Response: Additional spot elevations and slope arrows have been added. It appears that the existing grades in the alley are flat in many areas. While we understand there may be a desire to improve this situation, we are not sure that the responsibility for this activity would fall to this project as our impact on the alley is limited to a small asphalt patch. 09/30/2015: The edge of alley pavement and its relation to the right-of-way line along with the proposed site improvements illustrating how everything ties in together is unclear. Further information is needed which depending on the amount of impact to the alley, may require additional alley pavement improvements than what is currently specified. Is the undergrounding of utilities indicated along the alley occurring under alley pavement? Response: Along the west side of the alley, there is no edge of asphalt to depict. The existing alley paving continues into the site along the entire frontage.

Topic: General Comment Number: 1 09/22/2015 Comment Originated: 09/15/2015 09/15/2015: Comment from GIS - Projects with three or more tenant units require the Unit Level Addressing form to be completed and submitted to the GIS Department once plans have met final approval through Development Review and are recorded with the City. This can occur anytime during construction, but before any utilities or address signs are installed. All addressing will be determined by the GIS Department and submitted to Poudre Fire Authority, USPS, Building Services, and Fort Collins Utilities. Failure to contact GIS and determining addresses through other means may result in address changes.
