Please include complete erosion control calculations (performance standard and effectiveness calculations) according to the City of Fort Collins Erosion Control Reference Manual. RESPONSE: 9. Please provide more details of the drainage system directly to the west of the existing buildings. The plans state that the area inlets will be reinstalled. Please be specific on how they will be reinstalled and specify the new rim elevations. Sump pump systems are not accepted as part of a drainage system. Please specify how this drainage will drain to the pond. Provide pipe profiles for all the proposed storm sewers. RESPONSE: 10. Many contours are not shown to tie in with existing contours. Please ensure that all proposed grading will match up with existing grading. Any grading outside the property boundary will require a grading easement. RESPONSE: 11. Capacity calculations are needed for all proposed storm sewers. RESPONSE: 12. Please show profiles for all proposed storm water pipes in the plans. Show all crossing utilities on the profiles. RESPONSE: Please refer to the redline plans and report for additional review comments. 2. Please show how the controlling release of 1.64 cfs at manhole 1 and the controlling release of 4.72 cfs at manhole 2 were calculated. If these releases are based on downstream restrictions, then the ponds must be designed to release at these rates. RESPONSE: 3. Please calculate the capacities of the spillways for ponds 1,2, and 3. Show that there is adequate capacity to pass 100-year developed flows in the event that the pond outlets were fully plugged. RESPONSE: 4. The note on the plans state that the drainage from the Burlington Northern Railroad would be re-routed away from the site and towards the existing swale on the west side of the site. An off -site drainage easement from BNR and any downstream properties to change existing drainage patterns is needed. If drainage easements are provided, then the site should be graded so that existing drainage drains to the site like it does currently. Please delineate the off -site drainage basins draining through the site. RESPONSE: 5. Please provide a more detailed discussion of how the allowable release rates for the detention ponds were obtained in section 4 of the report. The 2-year historic releases of 2.48 cfs and 5.64 cfs do not appear in the historic drainage calculations. In the hydrologic calculations section of the report, clearly show the 2-year historic releases at the proposed outfalls of the detention ponds. RESPONSE: 6. It appears that the majority of the basin B historically drained to the west, rather than to the College Ave. system. Please calculate the existing contribution of flow from basin B to manhole 2. The release from pond 3 should not exceed this flow. RESPONSE: 7. Please add City of Fort Collins standard erosion control notes to the plan set. Also, include an erosion control construction sequence in the plan set. RESPONSE: REVISION COMMENT SHEET DATE: November 11, 1997 TO: Stormwater PROJECT: #2-96A University Center P.U.D. (LDGS) Final All comments must be recieved Steve Olt no later than the staff review meeting: Wednesday, December 10,1997 Note: The submitted plans and report do not have the level of detail needed for final approval. Important information such as developed hydrology calculations, pipe profiles, and erosion control calculations were not included. The following comments are based on the information provided. Please address these comments. Additional comments may arise once additional information is provided. 1. Please provide calculations for developed conditions runoff in the drainage report. Add a drainage summary table to the drainage plan. Place design points at the outlets of the detention ponds and calculate the 100-year developed flow to the design point. Place design points at any location where site flow is releasing to offsite and calculate the flow. Please verify basin delineation with proposed topography.

The pedestrian facilities, building placement, and landscape elements need fundamental attention in several areas. Advance Planning staff expect that design solutions will not involve simply adding details, but rather some fresh consideration of LDGS criteria A-2.6 (Pedestrian Circulation), A-2.2 (Building Placement), and A-2.13 (Landscaping). Following are specific areas that need significant design attention. 1. Connections between pads, anchors, and the street. 2. The setting for the transit stop. (This comment is limited to "the setting" in acknowledgement of previous discussions that apparently concluded that reconfiguring the parking lot to allow a direct walkway from the stop to the anchors is not reasonably feasible, and that transit patrons and pedestrians will have to walk through the parking lot. If this is not accurate of if any new circumstances reopen the idea of changing the parking lot, then the connection to the transit stop also needs attention. 3. A sidewalk across the street frontage just south of McDonald's. 4. A connection to the west to 1) access the new parking lot; 2) access the future improved multi - modal corridor along the rail R.O.W.; and 3) open possibiilites for access to/from land uses west of the site. 5. A focal point to mark the transition at the new building. This could anchor a spine through the building to/from the west and offer significant relief from the sheer unbroken length of the building wall and parking lot. 6. Comfortable access along the south side of the new building. 7. Tree canopy in parking lot islands. 8. Service area and parking lot screening. See the enclosed plan with notes. This looks like it needs a meeting. Staff acknowleges that existing conditions may make it unreasonable to meet the purposes of certain LDGS criteria. If so, then we need to have, consistent agreement about it, and we need to look for opportunities for improvements that mitigate the deficiencies. Thank you. 2-96A University Center PUD December 10, 1997 Buildings which exceed 5000 square feet in area must be equipped with an automatic fire suppression system or be compartmentalization by fire -resistive construction as required by Section 3802, Uniform Building Code as amended by the City of Fort Collins.

The Mapping Department stated that the 10' gas and 20' water easements near the south side of the plat are "un-locateable" by bearing & distance. The following comments and concerns were expressed at the Staff Review meeting on December 10, 1997: 12. This project should prepare for the eventuality of a multi -modal transportation corridor along the railroad right-of-way immediately to the west. Considerations for bicycle/pedestrian connections and visual appearance of the "back side" of this development are important. 13. The Stormwater Utility offered the following comments: a. What is the status of the detention area on the west side of the property? b. The release rate for the detention pond needs to be at the 2-year historic rate. The pond needs to be resized. C. There is concern about the drainage from the railroad being blocked by this development. d. The grading is not very clear on the drainage plans. 14. There appears to be a lot of parking proposed on the west side of the building. Why is this much needed, is it excessive? 15. Fred Jones of Traffic Operations stated that the proposed new intersection on the south side of the development (out to South College Avenue and to development to the south) looks better than the existing and previously proposed intersections. 16. Based on the Site Plan, it is difficult to determine where entries into the building are to occur on the west side. Building elevations for the west side would be helpful and appropriate for the City to review. 17. A good, direct pedestrian connection from the bus stop shelter to the building should really be made. 18. The building height cannot exceed 40', by Code, without special review. 19. All trash enclosures, service and loading areas, mechanical equipment, etc. must be screened from view from adjacent properties. 20. Trash receptacles must be in enclosures and the enclosures should be large enough to include recycle containers. 5.. Rob Wilkinson of the Natural Resources Department stated that the trash storage and enclosure areas need to be shown on the Site and Landscape Plans. It is being recommended that they be designed to allow sufficient space to accommodate recycling containers. It is also recommended that they be located in an area (such as against the building) which integrates functionally and aesthetically with the overall Site Plan. Please provide a design detail showing this information. 6. Kathleen Reavis of Transportation Planning, offered the following comments: a. Add a sidewalk on the north side of the main entrance drive into the center. b. Provide bicycle parking at the building entrances. C. Provide for a (future) connection back to the Burlington Northern Railroad right-of-way to plan for a future multi -modal transportation corridor (bicycles, pedestrian, transit) that will occur. The connection could be made along the south side of the building addition and should provide a more direct and continuous path than is presently shown on the Site Plan. The sidewalk adjacent to the building will have to be widened to 8' and the pedestrian crossings should be enhanced with markings. and different paving treatment. Another area to consider would be a connection from the new retail addition to the building. Additional information is provided on a marked -up Site Plan that is enclosed. Please contact Kathleen, at 224-6140, if you have questions about these comments. 7. A copy of the comments received from Clark Mapes of the Advance Planning' Department is attached to this letter. Additional information is on a red -lined Site Plan that is enclosed. 8. A copy of the comments received from Sheri Wamhoff of the Engineering Department is attached to this letter. Additional comments are on red -lined utility plans that are enclosed. 9. A copy of the comments received from Matt Fater of the Stormwater Utility is attached to this letter. Additional comments are on red -lined utility plans that are enclosed. 10. A copy of the comments received from Roger Buffington of the Water/Wastewater Department is attached to this letter. Additional comments are on red -lined utility plans that are enclosed. h. If the "new pad" site is part of this development plan, then you need to show building envelope dimensions and setbacks. j. The plans show depth of parking stalls but the widths are not shown anywhere. k. Only one monument sign is allowed for this center. Two signs are shown on the Site Plan. I. Building elevation signage should be taken off of the elevation drawings. This site is outside of the Residential Neighborhood Sign District and the Planning and Zoning Board has no authority regarding signage. It is administered by the Zoning Department, based on the sign code. m. The Land Use Data on Sheet DP-1 indicates that the maximum building height will be 46-0". The building cannot exceed 40' in height, by Code, without a special review and no information has been provided to date for review of that height. Please contact Peter, Gary, or Jenny at 221-6760 if you have questions about these comments. 2. A copy of the comments received from Sharon Getz of the Building Inspection Department is attached to this letter. 3. Bruce Vogel of the Light & Power Department offered the following comments: a. You will need to coordinate a location for a transformer and 3-phase conduit feed to new Tenant A and retail area to the south of King Soopers. b. A new transformer location will need to be coordinated for Tenants B & E. C. Any relocation of Light & Power facilities will be at the owner's expense. i d. It would be handy if the Master Utility Plan showed existing electrical lines and facilities. Please contact Bruce, at 221-6700, if you have questions about these comments. 4. Gayl-ene Rossiter of Transfort stated that the transit stop is indicated to remain as planned. Commt _ty Planning and Environmenta' Current Planning City of Fort Collins December 16, 1997 Christopher King DPC Development Company 700 East Belleview Ave., Suite 290 Englewood, CO. 80111 Dear Chris, !rvices Staff has reviewed your documentation for the University Center PUD, Final that was submitted to the City on November 6, 1997, and would like to offer the following comments: Representatives of the Zoning Department offered the following comments: a. Show ramps for handicapped parking spaces. Handicapped parking spaces must be a minimum of 12' in width and not all of the proposed spaces meet this requirement. b. A complete Site Plan should be resubmitted showing handicapped . parking, ramps, bicycle racks, trash enclosures (with elevations). C. Mark pedestrian crosswalk areas and indicate the surface treatment. d. Who is responsible for Bennigan's Restaurant landscaping? The City does not believe that they currently have as many trees in front of the building as are shown on the Landscape Plan. Does Bennigan's want these trees and who is going to pay for them? e. Screening of the delivery ramps at the rear of the building, with trees and other landscaping, is required by Code. f. Section A -A on the Landscape Plan looks great (for screening of the parking lot from South College Avenue) but the proposed berm does not appear to fit on the Site and Landscape Plans. g. X,20' wide back-up space is required at the 2-sided loading, 45 degree parking stalls. The plans show 15' to 16' of width. 281 North College Avenue • P.O.
