This includes providing a positive outfall for the site that allows drainage to flow off -site without ponding. Please revise the grading in order to provide a positive outfall. CCG response: The site is constrained by many elements and will not allow a positive outfall. A field meeting on February 14, 2017 and follow up phone conversation with Wes Lamarque determined that a Swale with an underdrain and drywell would be the best solution for this property. Comment Number: 3 Comment Originated: 01/18/2017 01/18/2017: The LID technique proposed may have future maintenance problems due to the inability to provide an underdrain system for the rain garden. A bio-swale may be more appropriate in this scenario. CCG response: Refer to the response above (Comment Number: 2). Comment Number: 4 Comment Originated: 01/18/2017 01/18/2017: Please add a note on the Grading and Site Plan that a detailed Grading Plan will be required for the single family lot at time of building permit.

Please provide the following information for the Benchmark Statement in the EXACT format shown below. PROJECT DATUM: NAVD88 BENCHMARK # w/ DESCRIPTION ELEVATION: BENCHMARK # w/ DESCRIPTION ELEVATION: PLEASE NOTE: THIS PLAN SET IS USING NAVD88 FOR A VERTICAL DATUM. SURROUNDING DEVELOPMENTS HAVE USED NGVD29 UNADJUSTED FOR THEIR VERTICAL DATUMS. IF NGVD29 UNADJUSTED DATUM IS REQUIRED FOR ANY PURPOSE, THE FOLLOWING EQUATION SHOULD BE USED: NGVD29 UNADJUSTED 01/17/2017: When designing the proposed single-family detached home, keep in mind attached garages must be setback at least 10 feet from the rest of the house per Land Use Code section 4.7(F)(1)(c). The home showed on the utility plan set would not meet this code requirement and would required a modification that staff would not support. RMS Response: Staff has worked closely with architect on the design of the home. Throughout this process an understanding of the site limitations and constraints have been presented. Staff is now in support and agreement on the floorplan presented. A modification request has been submitted for this as well. Topic: Site Plan Comment Number: 2 Comment Originated: 01/17/2017 01/17/2017: The site plan set contains a confusing note that recurs that reads, "Plot plan to be submitted at time of development". Platting constitutes development, so we would technically see the plot plan with this submittal based on the way the note currently reads. Please change this to say, "...at time of building permit," since it sounds like you will be submitting a more detailed site plan of the residential lot when you build a home on that lot. RMS Response: Note has been removed as plan is being resubmitted with single family home and carriage house shown. Comment Number: 5 Comment Originated: 01/17/2017 01/17/2017: With the proposed new property lines, the parking area does not meet the 5' minimum setback from property lines along the eastside of the property per Land Use Code section 3.2.2(J).

Thank you. Forestry will provide further comments moving forward regarding tree planting plans. RMS response: noted Topic: Landscape Plans Comment Number: 2 Comment Originated: 01/18/2017 01/18/2017: Suggest replacement of current shrubs or addition of native shrubs such as: Sand Cherry (Cerasus pumila besseyi) instead of Prunus cistena; Common Snowberry (Symphoricarpos albus) instead of S. oreophilus. RMS response: Rocky Mountain Snowberry was chosen for it's smaller and more compact form. Fort Collins Nursery lists this species as native to the Rocky Mountain area as well. Sand Cherry is replaced as requested. Comment Number: 3 Comment Originated: 01/18/2017 01/18/2017: Add additional ornamental grasses perhaps: Switchgrass (Panicum virgatum) in addition to the Calamogrostis brachytricha. RMS response: Calamagrostis x acutiflora 'Karl Foerster' has been added to the plans as well. Department: Forestry Contact: Molly Roche, mroche@fcgov.com Topic: Landscape Plans Comment Number: 1 Comment Originated: 01/19/2017 01/19/2017: It appears that the addition of utilities may impact existing trees 1 and 2 in the NE corner of the site, and tree 13 along the west edge. Also, it appears that future grading for the rain garden may affect tree 13. Please contact the City Forester to evaluate the construction impact and options for protecting these trees. RMS Response: Phone discussion on 712412017 with Molly about conflic. Note has been added to tree mitigation, landscape and utility plans stating that the lines will be bored 10' out from trunks and then may be trenched. Comment Number: 2 Comment Originated: 01/19/2017 01/19/2017: The western -most Catalpa looks to be at the bottom of the rain garden, which could impact its survival. Please evaluate shifting the planting location of this tree. RMS Response: On phone conversation 712412017 we discussed that Catalpas were selected because they are more water tolerant than other species. Due to requirements for parking lot landscaping and stormwater there is not another location that we can move the trees to. Forestry agreed that this was the best species given the constraints of the site and code requirements.
