negotiations for a possible park-n-ride use.
Comment Number: 3
Comment Originated: 04/11/2017
08/08/2017: How many spaces can Transfort procure in order to provide a
park-n-ride? It appears that the westernmost parcel could stripe parking spaces
on both sides with an adequate sized drive aisle. Ideally, 50-100 spaces would
provide the needed accommodation.
Response: There are no improvements planned for the west site at this time. The owner and Cityare in
negotiations for a possible park-n-ride use.
What landscape considerations are you interested in?
04/11/2017: The City of fort Collins is interested in public parking at this
location to support the MAX BRT line as a park-n-ride. The parking does not
necessarily have to be on the development site but could possibly be on the
narrow parcel west of the railroad tracks. Please contact us to discuss further
arrangements.

08/08/2017: The updated plans show a shared through right, 8' bikelane and left
turn lane. As mentioned previously there will need to be a right lane, bike lane,
through lane, and left turn lane. At most intersections this is accomplished by
limiting the parkway and attaching the walk.
04/06/2017: Please provide a signing and striping sheet with your next
submittal. The minimum width for the proposed right turn lane at Mason and
Harmony is 10' of pavement in addition to the pan. The plans show an 8' turn
lane.

09/25/2017: 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 Plans as the recently received
materials have comments and redlines that needed to be addressed to meet
City Criteria. Erosion Control Report on this project was reviewed and found
acceptable to City Erosion Control Criteria. 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 recalculation of
the Escrow. The site disturbs more than 10,000 sq. ft. and therefore Erosion
and Sediment Control 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. Jesse

Jonathon Nagel, environmental compliance inspector, to assist the design team
in properly sizing the containers, and thus the enclosure, and ensuring practical
access for the hauler. (Please note that is illegal to dispose of cardboard into

community. This issue needs to be resolved in order to proceed to the Planning

08/09/2017: The recent e-mail from the project manager indicates that
achieving compliance for a new commercial building to feature a distinctive top
[Section 3.5.3(E)(6)] will not be approved by the corporate design team. If this
is indeed the case, then Staff is interested in pursuing other architectural
mitigation features in order for Section 3.5.3(1) to be achieved without requiring
a Modification of Standard. As you will recall, this standard requires that a
standardized prototype be designed so that our community retains a sense of
place that is not duplicated within the region.
04/12/2017: Also per Section 3.5.3(E) and 3.10.5, a commercial building in the
T.O.D. must feature a recognizable top. There are a variety of architectural
treatments that would lead to compliance with these standards. Of the various
options, staff recommends that three-dimensional cornice be considered as the
most appropriate for the style of the building. If a cornice is selected, please
provide a dimensioned detail on sheet A-200.

09/25/2017: FIRE LANE SIGNS
Poudre Fire Authority prefers to use fire lane signs parallel to the fire lane they
are identifying in this scenario, where the fire lane meanders through a parking
lot and vehicles maintain low speeds. "NO PARKING — FIRE LANE" verbiage
with directional arrows below are the detail we require.
As the submitted plans
do not reflect this sign orientation, this can be resolved via pdf and will not hold
the project up.
Response: The signs have been oriented parallel to the direction of travel as requested.
pruning — our suggestion is 5-10' east of the dripline. I would be happy to
provide a sketch of the proposed location, if need be. Seth Lorson in
Transportation Planning and a City Forestry member will meet on -site during
installation to stake the location of the shelter.
Response: The bus shelter has been moved east and a note has been added to the site plan to field verify
the final location with City staff.

06/07/2017:
Following an on -site meeting with Chief Planner, Ted Shepard, City Forestry
would like to propose the new bus shelter be shifted further to the east so as to
avoid conflict with the existing significant crabapple tree and possibly the
mature spruce as well. Forestry can provide a preferred separation distance to
the east from the crabapple tree.
04/14/2017:
The new bus shelter appears to be quite close to an existing mature crabapple
tree. Also, significant grade changes may need to occur for the bus shelter.
Forestry will want to evaluate the impact the bus shelter will have to this tree ai

Newport Plums tend to have higher early mortality and decline problems.
Forestry recommends using an alternate species, such as Red Barron
Crabapple, in place of these trees.
Response: The Newport Plums have been changed out for Red Barron Crabapple, typical.

After some conversation with Cal Sheesley with PFA, it was confirmed that PFA
does not require ornamental over canopy trees. Canopy shade trees will be
much easier to maintain at 14 heights for the Emergency Access Easement.
Suggested species to incorporate in parking lot islands include Kentucky
Coffeetree, Catalpa, or Honeylocust.
Response: The trees in the landscape islands have been changed to canopy type.
8/9/2017:
Continued:
It appears that ornamental species are still shown in parking lot islands. Please
use canopy shade trees, unless otherwise directed by Chief Planner, Ted
Shepard.
04/14/2017:
The code generally directs canopy shade trees in parking lot islands.
Ornamentals are used in several islands. Please review this standard with Chief
Planner, Ted Shepard.

City Forestry and Planning would like to establish the bus shelter location as this
stage. The shifted location should be somewhere between 20 and 25 feet from
the current spot (measuring from the west side of the shelter). Currently, the
back of the shelter is T from the trunk of the crabapple. We would like it to be
clear out from underneath the dripline of the tree to avoid any unnecessary

on the plans. If it is part of this project, add it to the plat and all other project
development plans.
Response: The west parcel is shown at Ted Shepard's direction.

09/27/2017: The landscape wall is too tall to be in a utility easement. No
structures that require a building permit are permitted to be in a utility easement.
The exception for building permits for a retaining wall listed in the IBC Section
105.2.4 "Retaining walls that are not over 4 feet (1219mm) in height measured
from the low side grade to the top of the wall unless supporting a surcharge or
impounding Class I, ll, or IIIA liquids. The horizontal distance to the next uphill
retaining wall shall be at least equal to the total height of the lower retaining
wall".
Response: The Oft wall was due to a grading model error and has been corrected. The wall at
This location is a little over 2ft.

09/27/2017: The maximum grade break for a roadway is 0.4%, the grade
breaks near the storm sewer are too great.
Response: These grade breaks are dictated by existing street geometry at the inlet. As stated in

you a response, but as it is currently shown, does not meet our design
standards.
Response: Additional design options being investigated with engineering.
09/26/2017: The storm inlet by the traffic light seems to be right in the wheel
path in the right -turn lane.
Response: The inlet has been changed to a manhole but it must connect to the existing outfall pipe
and therefore cannot be relocated.

04/06/2017: The roadway design for Mason Street needs some work. The
minimum flowline grades is 0.5%. No single point grade break shall exceed
0.40 percent. This will have a direct impact on the cross slopes as well. The
proposed cross slopes can be up to 3-4%. The cross slope would need to be
designed in such a way that the existing pavement, when overlaid, will result in a
straight line cross slope grade that meets the standards. The minimum cross
slope would be 1.5%.
Response: Additional design options being investigated with engineering.

04/13/2017: More discussion is going to be needed for the ultimate cross
section of Mason Street. A striping plan will be needed to see how a right turn
lane is going to be striped. Please contact traffic operations (Nicole Hahn) to
begin discussions. We will most likely need to either modify the sidewalk or
parkway to achieve the minimum widths of a left, thru, bike and right turn lane at
Harmony Road.
Response: Modified as requested.
