09/01/2016: The response to this comment is not sufficient. Since the location
of the waterline is not centered in the easement and since it's not clear how
wide the easement is, a new one will need to be dedicated with this plat.
07/19/2016: Please dedicate a utility easement for the existing waterline. The
easement should be 10' on either side of the waterline, approximately 206 in
width through the parcel included in this plat.

07/19/2016: The Utility Department recommends conducting a fire flow test,
during the course of design, on the existing 6" waterline that this site is
proposing to tap into to verify that adequate fire flows are available in this
location. If there are not adequate fire flows at this location, this project will be
responsible to upsize the main to the extents required to achieve required fire
flows.

09/01/2016: Per the City standard detail 17-13, water meters cannot be placed
in streets, alleys, parking areas, driveway, etc. Please relocate the proposed
meter location. Also, now that you've adjusted the location of the water and fire
services, the taps are in a location that is technically offsite of your property.
Therefore, a Letter of Intent will be required to be submitted to the City, prior to
P&Z from the adjacent property owner that shows that they acknowledge that
you will need to do work on their property and will get a formal easement from
them to do this work prior to construction.
07/19/2016: The proposed water meter will need to be placed outside of that
easement. (It cannot be built this close to the water main. It should be at least
10' away from the main.) These plans will also need to show and callout the
curb stop.

09/01/2016: Please note that it appears as though at least one of the buildings
gets its sanitary sewer service from a manhole that is quite a ways offsite, so
the extents of your limits of disturbance may be more than you currently
anticipate and you may need permission to enter adjacent property to do
demolition work if an easement doesn't already exist.
07/19/2016: The existing sewer and water services to the existing buildings will
need to be identified and shown on a demo plan. The demo plan should then
clearly show which services will need to be removed and abandoned at the
main.

09/01/2016: Water Quality Requirements — This submittal looks to capture a
much larger area of the site into the underground detention vault that also serves
as your LID on this site than was previously shown. This is great. However, there
is still approximately 15% of the site that isn't treated by any water quality device
at all. I understand your challenges related to tying into existing roadways and
adjacent properties but 15% is larger than I anticipated that wouldn't be
captured. That said, I would also like for you to look at putting in an inlet on the
east side of the drive aisle that runs north -south along the eastern side of the

encouraged to funs,-, consider upgrades and embellishments alu„g this

Whole Foods parking lot.
On the landscaping side of the walkway, to complement the landscaping,
please consider adding a combination of raised planters and seat walls to the
landscaping in a variety of configurations and heights to avoid repetition and
monotony. On the building side, please consider adding more trim and detail to
the garage openings and doorways. Recessing the garage openings to the
maximum extent would accentuate the sills. Giving the doorways more of an
entryway or foyer would add interest. Also, please consider creative lighting
that could be combined with doorways, landscaping and garage openings.

09/07/2016: Referring back to first round comment number 15 regarding
showing the recesses and projections, thank you for the graphic depicting the
extent of the modulation along the north and south elevations as well as the roof
lines. Staff remains concerned, however, that the modulation consists only of
the balcony module, which, by itself adds a measure of articulation. Staff finds
that the balcony module is repeated a bit excessively and that these two long
facades would benefit from additional wall plane articulation. The repeated
horizontal module creates a ribbon effect and perhaps could be could be
broken up with a more vertical element that offers a slight contrast to the sole
reliance on the balcony modulation. Again, a building step back would
accomplish this but lacking that, other techniques to achieve wall plane variety
should be explored.

08/03/2016: Section 3.10.5(F)(3) requires that buildings in the Transit -Oriented
Development Overlay Zone (T.O.D.) that are greater than two stories must be
designed so that upper portions of the building are stepped back from the base.
The adequacy of the upper floor step -backs will be evaluated by the extent to
which they advance objectives related to providing a pedestrian scale along
sidewalks, enhancing compatibility with the scale and massing of nearby
buildings, preserving sunshine patterns in adjacent spaces and preserving
views. It appears that the upper floors are not stepped back. Staff is mostly
concerned about the pedestrian experience along the south elevation and the
relationship between the treatment along the garage and the ten foot wide
sidewalk. The pedestrian scale and experience walking along the screen walls
for the garage needs to be considered in the architectural design of the south
elevation.

08/30/2016: Is there a reason the 12' Utility Easement running through the
property can't be vacated via the Plat? Is this a private easement or an
easement that wasn't originally dedicated to the City?

08/30/2016: Both the 15' access easement and the 20' emergency access
easement need to define the starting elevation. Does the easement terminate
18 from finished grade, finished floor grade, etc. Please provide a station or
elevation.

090716: Thank you for providing further detail for landscape plan. Native Seed
Mix looks good and Staff support addition of (orbs (specifically several
wildflower species) to the mix; this will aid in more rapid establishment, help the
native plants outcompete weed species, add to the site aesthetic while in
bloom, and provide nutritional resources for local pollinator species.
07/26/2016: A more detailed Landscape Plan will be required and should
include scientific names of all species proposed, including detailed information
(species and seeding rate) for Native Seed Mixdenoted on current plan. Note
the City of Fort Collins Land Use Code requires that to the extent reasonably
feasible, all plans be designed to incorporate water conservation materials and
techniques [3.2.1 E(3)]. 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:

090716: Thank you for selecting energy efficient and warmer color (3000K or
less) luminaires and clearly identifying the selection on plans.
07/26/2016: Regarding site lighting and light fixtures, please note that 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 and creates more
glare than any other color of light and exposure to blue light at night has been
shown to affect human health and endanger wildlife. Therefore, use of warmer
color temperature (warm white, 3000K or less) for light fixtures is preferred in
addition to fixtures with dimming capabilities. For further information regarding
health effects please see:

08/30/2016: Detail will be needed at final on the offsite improvements to the
south as well as the sidewalk connections to the MAX Station. (Curb/driveway
removal, etc.)
08/01/2016: More information is needed for the two sidewalks connecting to
the MAX station. It appears that these walks will be crossing the existing drive
aisle. Will this development propose removing the access? Based on existing
conditions, ramps will be needed to get to the MAX station.

08/30/2016: A letter of intent from the whole foods site will be needed prior to
hearing. This offsite easement will be needed to be dedicated to the City and
follow the City's easement dedication process. This easement will need to be
shown on the plat as well.
08/01/2016: An offsite access easement will be needed to connect to the
whole foods site to the south. This agreement will be needed prior to hearing.

08/30/2016: Why has the 10' multi -use path to the south of the property been
reconfigured? The 10' width should be maintained throughout and should try to
maintain the direct connection from College Avenue. As proposed, the jog in the
path around the tree will not work and could potentially pose a safety issue.
Please work with Transportation Planning to determine a suitable sidewalk
configuration.

08/30/2016: There needs to be an access easement for the drive connection to
the whole foods site along the driveway within the property. The portion of the
multi -use path to the south that deviates from the direct path will also need to be
included in an access easement. Please verify with Utilities which portions of
the water services need to be within a Utility Easement.

08/30/2016: The easement for the multi -use path should be an access
easement, not a sidewalk easement.
08/01/2016: An emergency access easement will be needed for the fire lane
and an access easement will be needed for the 10' multi -use path to the south.
These will need to be dedicated on the plat with any other easements that will
be needed for drainage and utilities.

08/30/2016: Utility Plans need to clearly delineate the building envelope to
verify that portions of the building does not encroach into an easement.
08/01/2016: There are portions of the building to the west that encroach into the
Utility easement. There is also the existing 12' utility easement that runs through
the building. No easements can be within the building's footprint.
