Comment Number: 8 Comment Originated: 03/15/2017 Comment Number: 2 Comment Originated: 03/01/2017 05/03/2017: Thanks for submitting a detailed landscape plan. The general concept looks good. Just note there are numerous discrepancies between what is shown on the landscape plan and the plant list. Some of the plants on the landscape plan are not on the plant list (PRAM, JUSC, JUCO, ULDA, JUCM). Also, there are a couple of instances where the symbology is incorrect or the number of plants indicated is inaccurate. Please resolve these issues for Final Plan. 03/01/2017: Staff will need to see final shrub plantings not later than Final Plan. Just as a forewarning, these details can bog down the development process later, so I would recommend submitting these details sooner rather than later so staff can provide you with proper guidance. Comment Number: 3 Comment Originated: 03/01/2017 03/01/2017: None of the sheets show locations of street lights. Please add these details to the landscape plan and then space canopy shade trees at least 40' from these lights. Ornamental trees may be 15' away from street lights. Department: Stormwater Engineering Contact: Jesse Schlam, 970-218-2932, jschlam@fcgov.com Topic: Erosion Control Comment Number: 1 Comment Originated: 03/03/2017 04/25/2017: Please submit; an Erosion Control Plan (1 redline about needing a Rock Check Detail and make sure they are facing the correct direction that will need to be addressed), an Erosion Control Report (Sounds like it will be supplied at Final), and an Escrow / Security Calculation (Assume will be provided a final as well) Based upon meeting and received Letter of Corrective Action. There is confidence that the issues found at the prior site will be minimized if not eliminated. Will look for inspection records at time of construction starting. 3/3/2017: Current Erosion Control Materials Submitted do not meet requirements. Please submit; an Erosion Control Plan ( they were returned with redlines that will need to be addressed), an Erosion Control Report (Sounds like it will be supplied at Final), and an Escrow / Security Calculation (Assume will be provided a final as well). Also, based upon the area of disturbance State permits for stormwater will be required since the site is over an acre. On a further note, erosion control at the Crowne on Timberline, another project owned and built by this group had significant issues on the site through out the whole buildout with little done to correct these issues, and when corrected took way too long to do so. As a result of that project's inablity to prevent sediment discharge from the site, I am asking that this project propose how they will not repeat the same recalcitrint issues that arrised again and again. I will need some written letter by Crowne with their plan and commitment to prevent a reoccurance of the project on Timberline with buy in from what the owners, the project managers, the site supers and contractors will do, be trained on, and be accountable for on this project to reach the goal of preventing pollutioin from leaving the site. I will be asking that the project also supply copies of the required State inspection reports conducted under the SWMP in order to monitor how the site is progressing during the construction of this site. If you need clarification concerning the erosion control section, or if there are any systems if pre -approved by the Building Department. A fire service line into each building and FDC location should be added to the utility plan. Comment Number: 11 Comment Originated: 05/03/2017 05/03/2017: BLDGS 3 & 6 - FDC LOCATION - Question Utility Plan currently meets code with regard to FDC location and hydrant placement. Can FDC's be relocated on Bldgs. 3 & 6 to be within approximately 100' of another nearby hydrant so that a 5" hose connection from hydrant-to-engine-to-FDC does not close off a street to fire access during an emergency? Comment Number: 12 Comment Originated: 05/03/2017 05/03/2017: FURTHER DISCUSSION REQUIRED The following items will require ongoing discussion with PFA and the developer. With an aim to not obstruct the development, PFA will revisit these topics with future discussion with the developer. The comments which will require more discussion will be marked resolved and are listed below: 1. Wayfinding/address posting plan - Refer to prior comments. 2. FDC locations as mentioned above. 3. Aerial apparatus access requirements for buildings exceeding 30' in height - Ongoing (Alternative Means and Methods discussion required prior to Site Plan approval). Department: Planning Services Contact: Clay Frickey, 970-224-6045, cfrickey@fcgov.com Topic: Building Elevations Comment Number: 5 Comment Originated: 03/03/2017 05/03/2017: Thank you for the color perspective renderings you supplied. These renderings do not address Planning's comments, however. Staff is looking for perspective renderings looking SE from the corner of Lupine and Jerome that shows the sides of buildings 5 and 3, renderings that better capture the long sides of buildings 3 and 6, and a rendering that shows how buildings 3 and 4 address Suniga. 03/03/2017: Please also provide perspective renderings of the project. Staff is concerned about the uniformity of the building designs submitted, in particular Buildings 3 and 6. While individually, the buildings meet the code, the buildings read as being nearly identical. Sections 3.5.2 and 3.8.30 require variety in building design and the elevations submitted don't quite meet these standards. Staff would like to work through these details with you to better meet these code sections. Comment Number: 6 Comment Originated: 03/03/2017 05/03/2017: This comment was not addressed. 03/03/2017: Please also submit details of the building entrances. Each unit should have a clear, distinct entry that is visible from the street. Awnings, overhangs, and other architectural features would help define each entry and would enhance the quality of the building when encountered from the street.

Transformer must be placed within 10 ft of a drivable surface for installation and maintenance purposes. The transformer must also have a front clearance of 10 ft and side/rear clearance of 3 ft minimum. Comment Number: 4 Comment Originated: 05/05/2017 05/05/2017: A commercial service information form (C-1 form) and a one line diagram for all commercial meters will need to be completed and submitted to Light & Power Engineering for review. A link to the C-1 form is below: http://www.fcgov.com/utilities/business/builders-and-developers/development- forms-guidelines-regulations Comment Number: 5 Comment Originated: 05/05/2017: Once approved, Light & Power will need AutoCAD files of the site plan, utility plans, and landscape drawings. Comment Number: 6 Comment Originated: 05/05/2017: Streetlight placement will need to be coordinated with Light & Power. Shaded trees are required to maintain 40 feet of separation clearances and ornamental trees are required to maintain 15 feet of separation clearances from street lights. A link to the City of Fort Collins street lighting requirements can be found below: http://www.larimer.org/engineering/GMARdStds/Chl 5_04_01 _2007.pdf Comment Number: 7 05/05/2017 05/05/2017 Comment Originated: 05/05/2017 05/05/2017: Electric meter locations will need to be coordinated with Light and Power Engineering. Each residential unit will need to be individually metered. Comment Number: 8 Comment Originated: 05/05/2017 05/05/2017: Multi -family buildings are treated as commercial services; therefore commercial service forms (C-1 forms) and one line diagrams must be submitted to Light & Power for each building. All secondary electric service work is the responsibility of the developer to install and maintain from the transformer to the meter bank.

With seasonal fluctuations or possible grade changes, the groundwater may be within 5 feet of the bottom of the subgrade. This would require a Subsurface Water Investigation per LCUASS 5.6. Comment Number: 7 Comment Originated: 03/09/2017 03/09/2017: Comment from Street Maintenace: As planning progresses, additional borings should be performed at all proposed public road alignments. Refer to LCUASS 10.2.2 for spacing requirements for borings. Comment Number: 8 Comment Originated: 03/09/2017 03/09/2017: Comment from Street Maintenace: Be advised that the geotechnical report for the Aspen Heights development immediately to the east of the Crowne project encountered dry and stiff lean clays with moderate to high swell potential near the surface. Groundwater levels were also closer to the surface. The additional borings mentioned above would help to shed more light on the conditions at Crowne.

Pre -Submittal meetings assist the designer/builder by assuring, early on in the design, that the new projects are on track to complying with all of the adopted City codes and Standards listed below. The proposed project should be in the early to mid -design stage for this meeting to be effective. Applicants of new projects should email scarter@fcgov.com to schedule a pre -submittal meeting. Applicants should be prepared to present site plans, floor plans, and elevations and be able to discuss code issues of occupancy, long-term. A heads up that attention to this matter throughout this process can prevent many compliance issues post construction (e.g. erosion control, weeds, zoning) and subsequent delays in receiving return of securities. Native WARM SEASON grasses (Fort Collins): Little bluestem (S. scoparium), Indian grass (S. nutans), Sideoats grama (B. curtipendula), Buffalograss (B. dactyloides), Blue grama (B. gracilis), Switchgrass (P. virgatum), Sand dropseed (S. cryptandrus), Big bluestem (A. gerardii). Native COOL SEASON grasses (Fort Collins): Indian ricegrass (A. hymenoides), Bottlebrush squirreltail (E. elymoides), Prairie junegrass (K. macrantha), Green needlegrass (N. viridula), Western wheatgrass (P. smithii), Canada wildrye (E. canadensis), Thickspike wheatgrass (E. lanceolatus).

Comment Number: 2 Comment Originated: 03/09/2017 03/09/2017: Include locations of any water or sewer lines on the landscape plan. Please adjust street tree locations to provide for proper tree/utility separation. 10' between trees and public water, sanitary, and storm sewer main lines 6' between trees and public water, sanitary, and storm sewer service lines 4' between trees and gas lines Comment Number: 3 Comment Originated: 03/09/2017 03/09/2017: Show location of any stop signs and street lights. Identify these fixtures with a distinct symbol. Space trees if needed as follows. Stop Signs: 20 feet from sign Street Light: 40 feet for canopy shade trees and 15 feet for ornamental trees Comment Number: 5 Comment Originated: 03/09/2017 03/09/2017: On Lupine Street, west of Jerome Street on the north side, please show bluegrass in the parkway. Comment Number: 7 Comment Originated: 05/05/2017 05/05/2017: There seems to be some discrepancies with the number of trees listed on the Plant List and the number of trees shown on the plans. Please correct the following species counts in order to remain consistent. QUMA 17 (Plant List); 18 (Landscape Plans); Discrepancy (+1) QUMU 8 (Plant List); 7 (Landscape Plans); Discrepancy (-1) ULMD 6 (plant list); 5 (landscape plans); discrepancy (-1) and to increase overall site tolerance to heat and drought conditions. A balanced native dryland seed mix, in addition to proper installation and care especially during establishment period, is in the best interest of the development project and the City. The intention behind this comment is to prevent unnecessary challenges in seed establishment post construction. 03/06/2017: Current proposed native seed mix is not best suited for Fort Collins ecotone and elevations (4,800 - 5,660 feet). Additionally, need to provide a table showing scientific names along with common names for native seed mix species, include percent of each species, total application rate for drill seed application and rate for broadcast seed method (i.e. double drill seed rate). Consider mixes which include all or most of the following: Buffalo grass (B. dactyloides); Sideoats grama (B. curtipendula); Blue grama (B. gracilis); Alkali sacation (S. airoides); Western wheatgrass (P. smithii); Switchgrass (P. virgatum); Sand Dropseed (S. cryptandrus); Sixweeks fescue (V. octoflora). For example, Pawnee Buttes Seed Foothills Native Mix or the Native Prairie Mix would be appropriate. Western Native Seed also has good options for seed mixes for Fort Collins as well as Granite Seed. Comment Number: 8 Comment Originated: 03/06/2017 04/21/2017: The Landscape Plan Legend on L-3, L-4, L-5, L-6 still does not match consistently with what is listed on plans. It appears only a Dryland Seed Mix is to be incorporated into the site landscape design. If this is correct, only list the Dryland Seed Mix and associated symbology throughout all landscape plans (e.g. remove any reference to a wetland or riparian seed mix). 03/06/2017: Will a dryland grass seed mix and a wetland seed mix or riparian seed mix be used? Clarification needed by first round review of Final Plan. Comment Number: 11 Comment Originated: 04/21/2017 04/21/2017: Update Native Seed Note number 8... "do not mow lower than 6 to 8 inches in height." Not 68 inches ... Comment Number: 12 Comment Originated: 04/21/2017 04/21/2017: Please also update the songbird nesting note on L-1 Tree Protection Note #9 to: "NO TREES SHALL BE REMOVED DURING THE SONGBIRD NESTING SEASON (FEBRUARY 1 TO JULY 31) WITHOUT FIRST HAVING A PROFESSIONAL ECOLOGIST OR WILDLIFE BIOLOGIST COMPLETE A NESTING SURVEY TO IDENTIFY ANY ACTIVE NESTS EXISTING ON THE PROJECT SITE. THE SURVEY SHALL BE SENT TO THE CITY ENVIRONMENTAL PLANNER. IF ACTIVE NESTS ARE FOUND, THE CITY WILL COORDINATE WITH RELEVANT STATE AND FEDERAL REPRESENTATIVES TO DETERMINE WHETHER ADDITIONAL RESTRICTIONS ON TREE REMOVAL AND CONSTRUCTION APPLY. Comment Number: 13 Comment Originated: 04/21/2017 04/21/2017: A minimum of three (3) native cool season and three native warm season grasses should be included in the Dryland Seed Mix. Choose from the following below. There are many seed companies in Colorado from which to easily order an appropriate pre -packaged and/or custom seed mix. While native seed mix can be more expensive in the short-term, avoiding the need to repeatedly re -seed due to poor choice in a seed mix can save money in the Comment Number: 13 Comment Originated: 03/08/2017 05/08/2017: I'm needing to have feedback from City stormwater on this issue in terms of understanding how "fixed" the storm line location is based on the masterplans. I'm concerned that there isn't an existing condition, but a planned condition that appears to be forcing manholes to be placed partially in planned sidewalks. Can we consider other solutions, could sidewalks be further detached to avoid being placed in the same location as several manholes. 03/08/2017: The storm lines along Suniga appear to be under sidewalk. The manholes need to be brought up outside of the sidewalk and offset a minimum of a foot from the sidewalk. Comment Number: 18 Comment Originated: 05/08/2017 05/08/2017: In looking at the grading plan, I'm wondering whether the civil design isn't utilizing the finished condition of the JAX property as the contours shown on the grading plan isn't appearing to match the grading shown on the JAX plans. In general, why isn't the plans shown existing features on the JAX property, and could there be unforeseen design/construction concerns by not having the existing condition shown and designed off of? Could there be conflicts with grade?

Topic: Landscape Plans Comment Number: 7 Comment Originated: 03/06/2017 04/21/2017: Thank you for providing scientific names in addition to common names for seed mix specifications. Current mix shown on L-2 as "water quality native seed mix" is a dryland pasture mix suited for livestock grazing and the mix currently listed on plans is dominated (6:1) by cool season grasses. A more balanced mixture of cool and warm season grasses is needed and highly recommended to offset the growing and dormant period for each type of grass Comment Number: 3 Comment Originated: 03/08/2017 05/08/2017: The response acknowledged an error in the report information. Was a revised TIS made as a result? 03/08/2017: The traffic study shows a different lane configuration between short and long range for both movements of Suniga Road at Jerome Street. The short range geometry shows combined left/through movements (different than the long range) which I'm wondering how would be accomplished, especially with the presumed medians being installed in Suniga Road. Comment Number: 6 Comment Originated: 03/08/2017 05/08/2017: The sidewalk appears to be redesigned, however the plans do not depict the existing JAX sidewalk and in general the existence of JAX. 03/08/2017: The sidewalk alignment to the west of Jerome Street along Conifer Street appears awkward and doesn't align. Please also show how this ties into the existing sidewalk to the west of the development. Comment Number: 9 Comment Originated: 03/08/2017 05/08/2017: The offsite design appears to only be shown in the profile view, not plan view. 03/08/2017: Preliminary offsite design of Lupine Drive a minimum of 500 feet west of the project is required. Comment Number: 10 Comment Originated: 03/08/2017 05/08/2017: The complexities that have evolved in this approach combined with the situation of the improvements stopping short of the property boundary for drainage, has the City and PFA jointly exploring the project instead building the permanent street to as close to the property boundary as possible without a turnaround.This would require a modification to 3.6.2(E) as well as a variance to 7.6.4.0 of LCUASS, but would both be supported given the circumstances here of the driveway off the roadway providing both emergency access and public access through the dedication of easements. 03/08/2017: The costs associated with the removal of the Lupine Drive turnaround with the future extension of Lupine Drive by development to the west will be required. We'd prefer to explore exploring design and construction concepts that fully build -out as much of the roadway in the ultimate configuration as possible. This could entail building the crowned section to the property line, utilizing interim rollover curb on the south where the temporary turnaround would be built in gravel behind the rollover curb. Comment Number: 11 Comment Originated: 03/08/2017 05/08/2017: The submitted variance request does not meet requirements in 1.9.4 of LCUASS and would need to be prepared by a Colorado P.E. in conformance with the criteria in 1.9.4. 03/08/2017: Access spacing requirements between Jerome Street and the private drive to the west intersecting Suniga Road do not meet LCUASS requirements. While indication was given prior to submittal that a variance request would likely be supported, a variance request is still required to be submitted for review and evaluation.

Comment Summary: Department: Engineering Development Review Contact: Marc Virata, 970-221-6567, mvirata@fcgov.com Topic: General Comment Number: 1 Comment Originated: 03/08/2017 05/08/2017: The revised information from my perspective appears to be consistent with the subsequent discussions from the original submittal. I will look to info from Capital Projects on any concerns regarding the revised design information. 03/08/2017: The submittal shows the project designing Suniga abutting the property. We'll want to discuss the various timing scenarios on Suniga infrastructure being constructed by the City vs. by the developer. If the developer moves forward ahead of the timing of the City's project, then additional work is needed. More discussion with Engineering Capital Projects is needed. Topics to consider in this regard if the developer is choosing to move ahead of the City project and design and construct Suniga include: design and construction of the medians on Suniga along with their landscaping, reimbursement for the full width construction of Suniga is limited to funds collected from Old Town North as their "local street portion" for the south part of Suniga, resolving the right-of-way gap on the south side of Suniga Road, offsite design of Suniga, obtaining GWET and NEWT approvals etc.
