Comment Number: 2 Comment Originated: 09/20/2017 09/20/2017: Please revise the sanitary sewer layout per the meeting held on 9/18/2017. Comment Number: 3 Comment Originated: 09/20/2017 09/20/2017: A .1 foot drop in the sanitary sewer manholes will be allowed where needed to increase the depth of the sewer main. Comment Number: 4 Comment Originated: 09/20/2017 09/20/2017: The southeast building will need to have a private main/service from Lupine Drive due to minimal cover issues. Comment Number: 5 Comment Originated: 09/20/2017 09/20/2017: All 8-inch sewer main in Conifer Street will need to be replaced with 10-inch sewer main west until Jerome Street. A drop manhole can be placed in this location for the existing 8-inch main to the west per City standards. Department: Zoning Materials need to be submitted. Based upon the area of disturbance, State permits for stormwater will be required since the site is over an acre and should be pulled before Construction Activities begin. Erosion Control Materials will need to be produced, reviewed, and accepted to meet City Erosion Control Criteria before Development Agreement Language can be drafted. If you need clarification concerning the Erosion Control Material Requirements or Comments presented above please contact myself.

A LID basin exhibit is normally required to look at all the "LID basins" to determine if each porous pavement area is meeting the run-on ration requirement. A project this dynamic would be one that would require this LID exhibit. Comment Number: 3 Comment Originated: 09/20/2017 09/20/2017: Please revise the porous pavement detail per redlines. Comment Number: 4 Comment Originated: 09/20/2017 09/20/2017: There is still a conflict with the future 48-inch storm sewer and the bio-retention basin along the west property line. Due to the site plan layout, this bio-retention basin may not be able to be in this location.

Topic: Construction Drawings Comment Number: 6 Comment Originated: 09/22/2017 09/22/2017: 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 MISG - Plant list indicates 129, landscape plan shows 130. PAVD - Plant list indicates 65, landscape plan shows 60. PAVP - Plant list indicates 91, landscape plan shows 88. PAVS - Plant list indicates 55, landscape plan shows 51. HEME - Plant list indicates 45, landscape plan shows 39. Topic: Site Plan Comment Number: 1 Comment Originated: 09/18/2017 09/18/2017: Please add details of the bike racks to be used so staff can ensure compliance with the enclosed bicycle parking standards in 3.2.2(C)(4) (b). Comment Number: 3 Comment Originated: 09/18/2017 09/18/2017: The parking table indicates there are 260 standard parking stalls. I counted 261 stalls. Please double-check the parking counts and update so the table is consistent with the site plan. Comment Number: 4 Comment Originated: 09/18/2017 09/18/2017: There appears to only be 40 garages on the multi -family buildings. This would mean you are one garage short in terms of meeting the enclosed bicycle parking requirements. Please also label which garages are for the 2- and 3-bedroom units so staff can ensure compliance. Comment Number: 5 Comment Originated: 09/18/2017 09/18/2017: How will the trash and recycling enclosure be screened? Please provide elevations of the trash and recycling enclosure. Comment Number: 7 Comment Originated: 09/18/2017 09/18/2017: One of the covered parking labels points to the garages attached to building 6. This would be inconsistent with the way the parking is broken out on the parking table. Please change this label to indicate those garages are internal garages. Department: Stormwater Engineering Contact: Jesse Schlam, 970-218-2932, ischlam@fcgov.com Topic: Erosion Control Comment Number: 1 Comment Originated: 09/18/2017 09/18/2017: Current Erosion Control Materials Submitted do not meet requirements. The erosion control requirements are in the Stormwater Design Criteria under the Amendments of Volume 3 Chapter 7 Section 1.3.3. a copy of the erosion control requirements can be found at www.fcgov.com/eroison. The Erosion Control Materials will need to be submitted at time of the first round of FDP. Please resubmit an Erosion Control Escrow / Security Calculation as the recently received materials has comments and redlines, that needed to be addressed to meet City Criteria and as a result have changed the Erosion Control Plans and would require a re calculation of the Escrow. Please submit an Erosion Control Report as none was included in the recently received materials and is required to be submitted to meet City Criteria. Please resubmit an Erosion Control Plans as the recently received materials have comments and redlines that needed to be addressed to meet City Criteria. The site disturbs more than 10,000 sq. ft. and therefore Erosion and Sediment Control height. As for Buildings 5 & 6; the eastern half of Building 6 meets the code however no portions of Building 3 meet the code. To date, no discussion has been initiated by the applicant to discuss the need to meet code requirements via alternative means of compliance. Code language provided below. > Where project size and scope and/or site constraints conflict with fire code compliance, the intent of the fire code may be met via alternative means and methods, as approved by the fire marshal. As per IFC 104.8 & 104.9, the fire marshal may allow this approach when perimeter access and/or aerial apparatus access requirements cannot be met on the site plan. A written plan to meet the intent of the code via alternative means and methods will need to be submitted to Fire Marshal, Bob Poncelow for review and approval prior to final plans approval. Comment Number: 6 Comment Originated: 09/20/2017 09/20/2017: TRASH STORAGE Concierge trash service involving trash bags and combustible material placed in the exit corridors will not be permitted by the fire marshal. The FM may approve a system that involves trash being temporarily placed in a fire separated closet(s) throughout the complex.

Please fix this elevation to be consistent with the site plan. Topic: Landscape Plans Comment Number: 2 Comment Originated: 09/18/2017 09/18/2017: There are numerous inconsistencies between the plant list and the landscape plan. Some of these issues are due to the labels on the leader lines being inconsistent with what the plan shows.

FDC locations on these 2-story structures are not required to be within 100' of a fire hydrant. > FDC location not identified on Building 3 in the latest Utility Plans. Comment Number: 2 09/20/2017: FIRE LANE SIGNAGE > Add seven additional fire lane signs per PFA redlines. Comment Number: 3 09/20/2017: ADDRESS POSTING & WAYFINDING Comment Originated: 09/20/2017 Comment Originated: 09/20/2017 > Building address numerals will be required to be prominently posted on all sides of every building. > Depending upon the ultimate address plan, a system of wayfinding signage may be required. This is especially important as all buildings appear to have first floor units with direct accessibility to the outside via a front door and wayfinding could be problematic for the rest of the building. > In addition to street addressing, the full street name is required to be posted on all sides of any building that is flanked by another street of fire lane other than the building's addressed side. Code language provided below: IFC 505.1.7: Buildings, either individually or part of a multi -building complex, that have fire lanes on sides other than the addressed street side, shall have the address numbers and street name on each side that fronts the fire lane. Comment Number: 4 09/20/2017: AUTOTURN EXHIBIT Comment Originated: 09/20/2017 > As fire lane turning radii are less then 25' inside diameter in several areas. The project team is to verify the ability of fire apparatus to negotiate all areas of the site via an AutoTurn exhibit. The project team stated at the city staff meeting that an AutoTurn had been submitted but our project file does not show a record of that. Please resend. Thank you. Comment Number: 5 Comment Originated: 09/20/2017 09/20/2017: ALTERNATIVE MEANS & METHODS As indicated in previous rounds of review, aerial ladder truck access is required for buildings greater than 30' in height. Buildings 2-6 are required to meet this criteria. Based upon the Site Plan, Buildings 2, 4, & 5 comply with the letter of the code (IFC Appendix D 105), assuming parapet heights are no greater than 4' in 08/25/2017: Comment from Neighborhood Services -The trash enclosure (with the unscreened north wall) on the NE corner of the complex does not meet the requirements of Land Use Code 3.2.5 or the City's nuisance code in chapter 20 which both require bins be screened from public view.

Comment Number: 10 Comment Originated: 09/22/2017 Comment Originated: 09/22/2017 09/22/2017: Tree Spacing On sheet L-6, there is an ULMO 30 feet off of the street light i please either adjust the spacing to meet the 40 foot requirement, or change this tree to an ornamental species. Comment Number: 11 Comment Originated: 09/22/2017 09/22/2017: Species selection English Oak suffered some freeze damage during the 2014 freeze. Forestry would prefer not to use them on this project. In their place, please use another upright shade tree, such as Crimson Spire Oak. American Plum is typically a wild thicket, large shrub or tree. Is it the project's intent to provide a plant of this form in these locations or to meet other constraints on the site? Typically a more standard ornamental might be considered in these locations. Comment Number: 12 09/22/2017: Please show the turf in the parkways as irrigated turf. Department: Internal Services Contact: Clay Frickey, 970-224-6045, cfrickeyCfcciov.com Topic: General Comment Number: 1 Comment Originated: 09/22/2017 Comment Originated: 08/25/2017 08/25/2017: Comment from Neighborhood Services - Are residents responsible for taking their own trash AND recycling to the proposed carts/dumpsters/compactor or is this service provided for them? Comment Number: 2 Comment Originated: 08/25/2017 08/25/2017: Comment from Neighborhood Services - The recycling enclosure located on the east side of the complex should be paired with a trash receptacle or compactor. Any single recycle dumpster will be used as trash if a trash container is not provided. Additionally the centralized system does not provided adequate distribution for trash throughout the complex. Comment Number: 3 Comment Originated: 08/25/2017 08/25/2017: Comment from Neighborhood Services -The community recycling ordinance which was passed last year requires all businesses and multi -family complexes have recycling service that is equal to at least 1/3 of their service volume (bin capacity x service frequency) by 2020. Using a trash compactor (usually much larger in capacity then a dumpster) will require larger dumpsters and space for recycling be provided then what is currently provided in the plans. Consider switching to decentralized system with many trash/recycling enclosures throughout.

Topic: Lighting Plan Comment Number: 3 Comment Originated: 09/12/2017 09/12/2017: Thank you for including lighting fixture information and selecting 3000K or less CCT thus supporting City Night Sky Objectives. Department: Forestry Contact: Molly Roche, mroche@fcgov.com Topic: Landscape Plans Comment Number: 1 09/22/2017: Continued: Comment Originated: 09/22/2017 5/4/2017: City Forestry coordinated a site visit with Tracy Dyer (City Engineering) to obtain tree inventory and mitigation information for the Suniga connection. Once detailed plans are received, Forestry will forward to the applicant and ask that the information be included on the landscape plans. 3/9/2017: If there are any existing trees on site contact the City Forester for an onsite meeting to obtain tree inventory and mitigation information for the plan. Comment Number: 2 09/22/2017: Continued: Comment Originated: 09/22/2017 5/4/2017: Continued: Thank you for showing the lines. Can you please label the lines with the respective utilities? Also, on the west side of Jerome, the first tree south of Lupine, please adjust the tree location from the storm water line (sheet L-6). Please also check locations of trees to storm drain and coordinate with Utilities. 3/9/2017: 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: 8 Comment Originated: 09/22/2017 09/22/2017: Continued: Please use the most current version of the General Landscape Notes (Nov 2015), which are available from Molly Roche (mroche@fcgov.com). 5/4/2017: Please use the current City of Fort Collins General Landscape Notes, which are be installed with the project as well as the removal of the eastern driveway for JAX out to Conifer. 09/20/2017: The Landscape Plan does not appear to specify any landscaping for the parkway on the west side of Jerome Street north of Lupine Drive, will this at least be native seeding for the time being? Comment Number: 14 Comment Originated: 09/20/2017 09/20/2017: I'll track the right-of-way dedication needed from JAX for the Jerome Street construction. What are the envisioned temporary construction easement that may be needed from abutting properties? Comment Number: 15 Comment Originated: 09/20/2017 09/20/2017: It should perhaps be verified that the attorney providing the certification on the plat has researched whether additional entities such as North Weld and/or City of Greeley would need to sign the plat. These entities and additional entities were signatories to the Aspen Heights plat and I suspect the situation would be similar here with Suniga right-of-way. Comment Number: 16 Comment Originated: 09/20/2017 09/20/2017: I'm just curious to understand how some of the building units are being platted via lots while other building units are within larger tracts. Shouldn't also this legal designation of these lots and tracts be depicted on the site plan in some manner, which only indicates building numbers that do not correspond? Comment Number: 17 Comment Originated: 09/20/2017 09/20/2017: The Maintenance of Common Elements note appears to need to be updated based on references that are not within the development plan. Comment Number: 18 Comment Originated: 09/20/2017 09/20/2017: Related to comment #16, it seems with the legal designation and boundaries of lots, tracts, and easements from the plat not being translated onto the site/landscape and civil documents that there is general lack of plat information and coordination on the site/landscape and civil documents. Shouldn't there be information on the site plan for example to show that Building 7 is within Lot 1 and show Lot 1's boundaries in relation to the physical characteristics in and around the lot (such that in the unlikely scenario that Lot 1 were to be redeveloped/sold off, that the boundary of ownership and/or maintenance within that lot is more clearly defined and understood?) Note also that the plat shows a utility, drainage, access and emergency access easement for defined corridors that are only depicted on the site and civil drawings as emergency access easement. Please look to have the site/landscape and civils coordinated with the plat regarding legal establishment of lot lines, lots, tracts, and easements.

Thank you. Comment Number: 2 Comment Originated: 09/12/2017 09/12/2017: New Prairie Seed Mix and seeding rate looks good. Some clarification requested on areas where seed mix will be applied (e.g. edge implemented, however their uses has not been verified as part of the Suniga Road capital improvement project. In checking with Tracy Dyer, the approach we'd prefer to take at this time is to specify that the access ramp locations crossing Suniga are subject to further refinement with the capital project and prior to construction commencing, the developer coordinate final locations of the access ramp with the capital project. Comment Number: 5 Comment Originated: 09/20/2017 09/20/2017: Storm sewer A5-A specifies HDPE as the pipe material which isn't an approved pipe material in city (Lupine Drive) right-of-way. Additionally, this pipe is a private line in right-of-way which would not typically be allowed. Alternative designs should be pursued to address these concerns. Comment Number: 6 Comment Originated: 09/20/2017 09/20/2017: Please have the property boundary be the most prominent feature on the civil plans, it is difficult to discern between property lines and water and/or sanitary lines. Also, please have the plans reflect the dedication of rights -of -way that are occurring on the plat, such as the dedication of additional right-of-way along Conifer Street. Comment Number: 7 Comment Originated: 09/20/2017 09/20/2017: The drive approaches in public right-of-way should be built in accordance with LCUASS detail 707.1.1 did not find this detail in the detail sheet, though I did see a modified alley intersection detail 803 which indicates for private drive intersections. This modified detail should be used for drive approaches in public right-of-way. Comment Number: 8 Comment Originated: 09/20/2017 09/20/2017: Jerome Street and Lupine Drive west of Jerome Street are lacking the depiction of bike lanes as part of the signing and striping plan. Also, the street typical sections sheet C-006 should be updated to reflect buffered bike lanes for these two streets. Comment Number: 9 Comment Originated: 09/20/2017 09/20/2017: Jerome Street needs roadway cross sections at 50 foot intervals for review. Comment Number: 10 Comment Originated: 09/20/2017 09/20/2017: The north grading plan calls out the use of concrete in right-of-way for all driveways in right-of-way with the exception of the drive approach for JAX. Please have this drive approach similarly labelled. Comment Number: 11 Comment Originated: 09/20/2017 09/20/2017: The civil plans show waterline construction occurring in Suniga to be done by the City of Fort Collins. Just for more clarity, and historical reference, I believe this note should be modified to indicate the work is to be done by City of Fort Collins Water Utilities in advance of the Suniga Road Capital Improvement Project. Comment Number: 12 Comment Originated: 09/20/2017 09/20/2017: Please provide further clarity on Note #11 on the civil plans. Comment Number: 13 Comment Originated: 09/20/2017 09/22/2017: This comment is updated to reference an email sent to the consultant team, it appears that the landscaping on Jerome abutting JAX should Fort Collins Community Development and Neighborhood Services 281 North College Avenue PO Box 580 Fort Collins, CO 80522 970.221.6760 970.224.6134 - fax tcgov. com/developmentreview September 25, 2017 Terence Hoaglund Vignette Studios PO Box 1889 Fort Collins, CO 80522 RE: Crowne at Old Town North, FDP170025, Round Number 1 Please see the following summary of comments from City staff and outside reviewing agencies for your submittal of the above referenced project.

Comment Summary: Department: Engineering Development Review Contact: Marc Virata, 970-221-6567, mvirata@fcgov.com Topic: General Comment Number: 1 Comment Originated: 09/20/2017 09/20/2017: 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, with the indication provided on the plans. Comment Number: 2 Comment Originated: 09/20/2017 09/20/2017: The development should also install the receiving access ramp on the north side of Conifer Street for the access ramp that directs pedestrians north across Conifer. Comment Number: 3 Comment Originated: 09/20/2017 09/20/2017: The access ramp leading north across Conifer Street seems to be further east from the Jerome Street intersection than needed and redirects pedestrians more than needed. Can this shift further west to be a more direct route for the pedestrian? Comment Number: 4 Comment Originated: 09/20/2017 09/20/2017: Similar to the previous comment, the access ramps crossing Suniga Road would appear to be further removed from Jerome Street than necessary. This may be appropriate should the ped refuge/median islands be
