COLLEGE AVE.) - PDP - PDP160020 - CORRESPONDENCE - (3)Topic: Plat Comment Number: 8 Comment Originated: 07/19/2016 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. Topic: Site Plan Comment Number: 10 Comment Originated: 07/19/2016 07/19/2016: Site Plan — There are several existing easements shown on the site plan that don't quite seem to match the easements shown on the plat. Please reconcile. 15 Department: Water Conservation Contact: Eric Olson, 970-221-6704, eolson@fcgov.com Topic: General Comment Number: 1 Comment Originated: 07/25/2016 07/25/2016: Irrigation plans are required no later than at the time of building permit. The irrigation plans must comply with the provisions outlined in Section 3.2.1(J) of the Land Use Code. Direct questions concerning irrigation requirements to Eric Olson, at 221-6704 or eolson@fcgov.com Department: Water -Wastewater Engineering Contact: Heather McDowell, 970-224-6065, hmcdowell@fcgov.com Topic: Construction Drawings Comment Number: 2 Comment Originated: 07/19/2016 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. Comment Number: 3 Comment Originated: 07/19/2016 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. Comment Number: 6 Comment Originated: 07/19/2016 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. 14 Topic: Site Plan Comment Number: 13 Comment Originated: 07/25/2016 09/07/2016: The property boundary needs to match the Subdivision Plat.

Comment Number: 13 Comment Originated: 09/01/2016: The LID -Detention spreadsheet utilizes Denver region rainfall data and results in a detention volume that is smaller than what is required using Fort Collins rainfall data. Please revise. 07/19/2016: Appendix B. The UD-Detention spreadsheet cannot be used to calculate detention volumes in the City of Fort Collins because it utilizes Denver rainfall data. Please build your own mass balance spreadsheet using the Modified FAA Procedure as outlined in the Fort Collins Stormwater Criteria Manual, Volume 2, Chapter 10, Section 3.2.3. Comment Number: 18 Comment Originated: 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 site to capture some of that area that drains off to the east. Comment Number: 19 07/19/2016 09/01/2016 Comment Originated: 09/09/2016 09/09/2016: Drainage Report — Please note that for the Stormtech system, the City of Fort Collins requires that the isolator row needs be sized for the WQCV amount. This is different than what Stormtech will tell you is necessary, but we require it because of concerns about long term infiltration rates. Please ensure that this volume is accounted for in the chambers you have shown or provide the additional chambers needed if the volume is not accounted for.

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. Comment Number: 25 Comment Originated: 09/07/2016 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. Comment Number: 26 Comment Originated: 09/07/2016 09/07/2016: On the west elevation, the architectural elevations indicate that there are to be screen walls in front of the mesh screens of the parking garage. Please indicate the height of the screen wall. Is the landscaping shown to be planted on top of the screen wall? I'm not seeing how the screen wall and landscaping are integrated. Perhaps a detail would help.

E Comment Number: 14 Comment Originated: 08/03/2016 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. Carried Over: See below. Comment Number: 15 Comment Originated: 08/03/2016 08/03/2016: On the architectural elevations, we need to be able to evaluate the extent of the recesses and projections of the building modules. While the perspective renderings are helpful, no dimensions are provided. Please include a plan view line, with dimensions, that describes the variation in the massing of the building at the ground level that corresponds to the architectural elevation. Carried Over: See below. Comment Number: 18 Comment Originated: 08/03/2016 08/03/2016: There are a series of windows on the ends of the east and west elevation that appear flat in relationship to the fagade. The overall articulation of the building would be improved if these windows were upgraded with additional trim, or sills or lintels. Comment Number: 19 Comment Originated: 08/03/2016 08/03/2016: The person doors on the north, south and west elevations are not very well demarcated on the elevations. They appear as simple recesses without any other components that benefit the overall articulation. Please consider highlighting these person doors with additional features so that the ground floor of the building continues to contribute to the pedestrian scale. Carried Over: See below: Comment Number: 24 Comment Originated: 09/07/2016 09/07/2016: Referring back to first round comment number 14 regarding no upper floor building step backs, staff remains concerned that the revisions that enhance the south walkway may not be sufficient to address the central issue of mitigating the overall building mass and creating a sensible pedestrian scale. Based on the revised plans, staff is assuming that upper floor building step backs will likely not be considered. As mitigation, therefore, the applicant is Comment Number. 3 L,umment Originated: 07/08/2016 07/08/2016: FIRE LANE CONNECTION TO THE MAX TRANSIT LINE > The proposed fire lane connection to the Max Transit line will have to be approved by the City Transportation Department and Poudre Fire Authority.

Comment Number: 6 Comment Originated: 07/26/2016 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.

(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. Comment Number: 6 Comment Originated: 08/01/2016 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. Comment Number: 8 Comment Originated: 08/30/2016 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. Comment Number: 9 Comment Originated: 08/30/2016 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. Comment Number: 10 Comment Originated: 08/30/2016 O8/30/2016: Add the private drive notice to the Plat. The following shall be placed on the plat set apart from the other notes in a box labeled as "NOTICE" when private drives are utilized on the property: "ALL RESPONSIBILITIES AND COSTS OF OPERATION, MAINTENANCE AND RECONSTRUCTION OF THE PRIVATE STREETS AND/OR DRIVES LOCATED ON THE PRIVATE PROPERTY THAT IS THE SUBJECT OF THIS PLAT SHALL BE BORNE BY THE OWNERS OF SAID PROPERTY, EITHER INDIVIDUALLY, OR COLLECTIVELY, THROUGH A PROPERTY OWNERS' ASSOCIATION, IF APPLICABLE.

These will need to be dedicated on the plat with any other easements that will be needed for drainage and utilities. Comment Number: 4 Comment Originated: 08/01/2016 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.
