The variance requests that are indicated as

them and is not in there comments.

• Not meeting the landscape requirements on the north and East propertylines. A 5 foot
landscape strip is required and this can not include vehicle overhang. An additional 2 %z feet
of landscaping is needed to accommodate overhang and provide the landscape buffer
required. Per section 3.2.2(N).
• Label the retaining wall along the southern property line. Is the height of this wall adequate
to prevent vehicle overhang? If not than curb stops are needed to prevent overhang.
• Need to indicate where signage for compact spaces is to be located. For each site it needs to
be placed so that it does not interfere with the pedestrian paths and the widths being
provided.
• No retaining walls or signage can be placed within the Row. Encroachment permits for
fencing within the Row can be applied for. A yearly fee is assessed for such items within the
Row.
• Is the trash enclosure detail typical for all enclosures?
• Show proposed signage locations for McDonalds signage. Want to make sure that it doesn't
conflict with landscaping.

3. The offsite drainage exhibit provided is insufficient. The off -site basins and design
points need to be clearly delineated and labeled wherever applicable on the plans.
RESPONSE:
4. Please recalculate the required detention volume using the correct rainfall intensities
for the 100-year storm (repeat comment).
RESPONSE:
5. There is concern about adjacent buildings in the Town Square shopping center
flooding due to emergency overflow of the detention pond resulting from the orifice
being clogged. Please provide flood -proofing measures.
RESPONSE:
6. This project needs to address water quality issues since it is a new Land Use Code
project.
RESPONSE:
Erosion/Sediment Control Comments
Second Submittal Comments
1. Most of this site grades steeply from the north to the south and east onto existing
asphalt. There'is no discussion in the report, and nothing shown on the plans defining
how sediment transport is to be controlled on -site prior to paving, sod installation, etc.
Please provide this information.
2. Effectiveness calculations use P-factors for straw bales and roughened ground.
Calculations do not include a gravel inlet filter. Your report and your plan do not
indicate roughened ground. What is the plan? In what sequence of the construction
are any of these BMP's to be used?' Which BMP's?
3. The project schedule on the plan indicates silt fence is to be installed. There is no
mention of this in the report and none shown on the plan. Is it is, or is it ain't??
4. The project schedule indicates both seeding and sodding. Is this correct? If so, which
goes where?
5. The plan needs standard erosion/sediment control notes.
6. The plan needs BMP drawings.

Wednesday, July 8,1998
1. Please show drainage easements from the site to west Elizabeth Street, including all
alleys. Drainage easements for this area will need to be dedicated, if easements do not
exist. Are the easements large enough to accommodate the increase in flow? Also
provide signed agreements with the owners of the properties that will be affected with.
the proposed construction. The letters of intent must be signed before the public
hearing (repeat comment).
RESPONSE:
2. The City Criteria Manual states that unlined open -channels may not exceed 4:1 side
slopes. The report and plans show that the swale on the north side of the buildings
has the left bank slope at 2:1, the maximum permissible variance is 3:1, we suggest
making both sides 3:1 to take this restriction into account. Also, please compute and
show a water surface profile in the report.

e. If there are existing significant trees to be retained, then tree protection
specifications must be added to the landscape plan pursuant to Section
3.2.1(G) of the Land Use Code.
8. The Current Planning Department offers the following comments:
✓a. Directional signage is needed for the proposed reconfiguration of the
McDonald's drive thru. Please show the locations of upright (pole mounted)
directional signage on the landscape plan so that any conflicts with
landscaping'are-eliminated.-_
✓b. The proposed parking east of module C does not comply with the Land Use
Code. The proposed dimensions of the stalls along the north property line
creates a two foot vehicle overhang into the landscape strip leaving only a
3 foot landscape buffer. A minimum five foot wide landscape strip is required
along the north edge of the parking. The proposed dimensions of the stalls
on the south side of the parking area creates a two foot overhang onto the
sidewalk. This overhang, combined with the tree grates, and parking along
the main entrance drive does not leave a 4 foot wide clear space for
handicap access. Staff suggests elimination of the spaces along the north
/ property line.
The parking along the south property line creates a 2 foot overhang over the
proposed sidewalk. The western three spaces should be eliminated and an
island created with pedestrian access provided to the south and east.
/d. The proposed parking exceeds the required parking by 20- spaces. It
appears that the additional parking is creating conflicts with sidewalks,
landscaping and storm drainage. As previously stated, Staff recommends
the removal of the excessive parking.
e. The plaza area indicates a proposed retaining wall and fence in the. right-of-
way. The applicant must submit documentation to the Engineering
Department for a permit to encroach into the right-of-way and pay associated
fees. The Engineering Department will review the paper work for both the
wall and the fence. However,, while a fence may be allowed, it is unlikely that
a retaining wall would be allowed. A fence is easier to remove / replace than
a retaining wall. This issue is further complicated if there are utility
easements in this area. The project signage may not be located in the right-
of-way. Decreasing the size of the plaza may help.
f. The trash collection areas are shown within the detention pond area and
could pose health code issues.
g. The proposed speed bumps are unnecessary and are causing mini -dams in
the middle of the parking lot.
gallons of water per minute at a residual pressure of 20 psi. Hydrants shall
be of an approved type as defined by the Water Utility and the Fire
Department. No commercial building can be greater than 300 feet from afire
hydrant. A fire hydrant is required to be located by the entrance drive of the
project for Module "C'.
v1c. A turn -around is required for the proposed project. The turnaround must
have an outside turning radius of forty feet or more, and an inside turning
radius of twenty feet.
5. The Light and Power Utility offers the following comments:
/a. It appears that the electric vault at the southeast comer of the site will need
to be relocated (at the developer's expense). It may be easier and cheaper
for the trash enclosure to be placed elsewhere. If the electric vault must be
1 relocated, additional easements may be required.
V b. It appears that space for electric, gas, phone and cable television facilities
is very limited.
V C. A utility coordination meeting is needed prior to approval.
The Water Conservation Specialist stated that 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.).
IJ The City Forester offers the following comments:
a. Pursuant to Section 3.2.1(F) of the Land Use Code, please provide a written
explanation as the why existing trees can not be saved to the extent
reasonably feasible.
b. Pursuant to Section 3.2.1(F) of the Land Use Code, the Site and Landscape
Plans need to identify all existing significant trees with intent to remove,
transplant, or protect.
C. Pursuant to Section 3.2.1(F)(1) of the Land Use Code, the applicant needs
to contact the City Forester to determine the number of mitigation trees
required.
d. Pursuant to Section 3.2.1(F)(1) a - c of the Land Use Code, the Landscape
Plan must clearly designate mitigation trees and specify the size.
v
more stringent, the Colorado revised Statute, Title 9, Article 5, Section 111
also applies to apartment projects. Though not administered at the
municipal level, similar requirements are contained in State and Federal civil
rights legislation (Fair Housing Acts). Where provided in a project containing
accessible dwellings, a portion of garages or covered parking must be
accessible.

VK Accessible exterior wheelchair routes and parking facilities shall be provided
with each phase of the development in accordance with Uniform Building
___.Code Chapter-_11,_Appendix Chapter.11, Division 1 and the American
National Standards Institute Publication A117.1-1992 titled Accessible and
Usable Buildings and Facilities. Accessible parking spaces are eight feet
wide with a five feet wide adjacent access aisle. Slopes for parking and
access aisle shall not exceed 1:50 in any direction.
c Buildings larger than 5000 square feet shall be equipped with an automated
fire suppression system throughout or compartmentalized in accordance with
Uniform Building Code Section 904.1.1 as amended by the City of Fort
Collins.
> Buildings shall be designed to comply with the Fort Collins Energy Codes.
The residential code is an amended version of the 1995 Model Energy Code
and the nonresidential code is based on ASHRAE/IES (American Society of
Heating, Refrigerating and Air-conditioning Engineers / Illuminating
Engineering Society) 90.1-1989.
3. The Mapping Department offers the following comments:
a. The'point of beginning should be shown on the Plat.
? b. The legal description starts at the northwest comer of Town Square, but it
does not end at the same point.
4. The Poudre Fire Authority offers the following comments:
tea. Fire apparatus access -roads shall be provided for every facility, building or
portion of a building, hereafter constructed or moved into or within the
jurisdiction when any portion of the facility or any potion of the exterior wall
of the first story of the building is located more than 150 feet from fire
apparatus access as measured by an approved route around the exterior of
the building or facility. This fire land shall be submitted for approval prior to
installation. Any building not meeting this criteria shall be equipped with an
automated fire suppression system. All three modules are out of access,
and therefore roust be equipped with an automated fire suppression system.
✓b. Fire hydrants are required with a maximum spacing of 600 feet along an
approved roadway. Each hydrant must be capable of delivering 1000

Dear Carl,
Staff has reviewed your revisions for the Lofts at Campus West Project Development
Plan (PDP) that were submitted on June 4, 1998, and would like to offer the following
comments:
The Zoning Department offers the following comments:
/a. Directional signage will be required for the McDonalds drive-thru lanes.
Signage should not contain any McDonalds logos, etc.
`yk �te�b Two trees are required along the north property line between the parking and
the property line.
�c. Please clarify what the "AE" designation represents. The landscape
schedule key does not presently provide information regarding this
designation.
✓d. The stairway at the west end of the building must be 15 feet from the City
Park Avenue right-of-way line. Presently it scales to 15 feet, but the
dimension should be added.
2. The Building Inspections Department offers the following comments:
/a. Dwelling units accessible and adaptable for use by persons with disabilities
must be provided in accordance with the 1997 Uniform Building Code as
amended by the City of Fort Collins. Buildings containing four or more units
in a single structure are subject to these provisions. The 1992 edition of the
American National Standard Institute publication #A117.1 "Accessible and
Usable Buildings and Facilities" should be used in the design of
accessible/adaptable dwelling units. A local amendment to the UBC requires
that accessible units with numbers of bedrooms and other amenities be
provided in numbers proportionate to the remainder of the project. When
