A bike lane is needed, which is funneled into a ramp with striping that shows the bike lane ending. We're checking with our engineering department to see if that approach had a concept design completed that we can provide. 05/23/2017: The development will need frontage improvements along Vine Drive including sidewalk. The bike lane and parking are shown on the striping plan. The bike lane provides the option of transitioning to the sidewalk if the rider does not want to continue to progress by merging into the traffic lane. A continuous sidewalk is provided along the Vine Street frontage of the property.

More information 15 equal to or better than a plan that would have otherwise complied with the standard. The request is a part of the revised submission. 05/24/2017: In general, the Site Plans and the Landscape Plan need to consistently call out the extent of the perimeter fencing. Please indicate height, material, etc. The Project Narrative indicates that the existing six foot solid wood fence along Shields will be retained but the Site Plan states "New Fence." And, regarding fencing along the northeast and east property lines, the Site Plan states that fencing is to remain but Staff is not aware of the nature of this existing fencing since it's not visible from the roadways. Please clarify and address the aforementioned standard. The situation concerning the fencing has been revised in the narrative and is consistent on the plans. The Owners want to know if their fence will be returned to them or is the improper removal by the City's Contractor of their property will be reimbursed Comment Number: 12 Comment Originated: 10/24/2017 10/24/2017: Regarding the graphic for the solid metal fence, I'm not sure where this occurs. Is this graphic necessary to be included on the plan sheets? It appears that fencing is either metal pickets (wrought iron or its visual equivalent) along the two streets, or solid wood along the two interior property lines. A graphic is provided for the 6' high picket type metal fence with decorative top edge as well as the solid 6' high wood fence. Comment Number: 13 Comment Originated: 10/24/2017 10/24/2017: I'm still not seeing if the "6' High Wood Fence" along the northeast and east property lines is existing or new. Please clearly indicate on the Site Plan. The 6' high wood fence on the east property line is new and is noted such. The 6' high solid wood fence That angles south from the west corner to the east corner is existing. It is noted that if sections or pieces Of this fence are damaged the fence will be repaired.

Please provide letter of intent prior to hearing and agreement prior to final plan approval. With the last round of revisions we submitted a letter that we sent to Mr. Taylor, the Arthur Irrigation Company, and their legal representation outlining what we understand from Mr. Taylor are the requirements to release storm water into the ditch. It is noted that it has been nearly 60 days since the Ditch Company received the requested information and we have received no response other than they recieved the information. 05/23/2017: An agreement is required in order to have this site outfall to Arthur's Ditch. Please contact Mark Taylor at 970-416-2494 to coordinate. We have coordinated as to the information that the Ditch Company required and it has been nearly 60 days without a response from the Ditch Company. Comment Number: 3 Comment Originated: 05/23/2017 10/27/2017: It appears the eastern pond will be used to treat and detain these flows. Please show sizing for these flows in the eastern pond. It appears flow from other areas will be treated by rain gardens prior to entering either detention pond; therefore, it is not required to provide water quality for this runoff 14 Comment Number: 14 Comment Originated: 10/21/2017 10/21/2017: GATE ACCESS > Electric vehicle gates that serve as a primary means of facility access will require an integrated Knox Key Switch as part of the access design. Any other means of gate access will require further discussion and separate approval by the fire marshal. Electrically operated access gates have intergrated Knox Key Switches as part of the gate design. > Man -gates and manually operated vehicle gates may utilize a mounted and secured Knox Box system for access; however, the applicant might consider a Knox Padlock rather than a Knox Box, as a cheaper and more direct means of gate access. Your prerogative. See www.knoxbox.com for further details. Man gates and manually operated vehicle gates will have either Knox Box systems or Knox Padlock Systems. The Owner will make this decision prior to construction. Comment Number: 15 Comment Originated: 10/21/2017 10/21/2017: FIRE LANE SIGNAGE VS RED CURB Red curbing may be used to identify the limits of the fire lane as indicated on the plans; however, posted signage may be required in specific locations as determined at time of final inspection. Currently there are 30 locations shown on the Emergency Plan that indicate placement of a Fire Lane sign. PFA may choose to direct the Contractor to place some of these signs in Different locations.

But on the Landscape Plan, SP — 3.4, the graphic indicates that the fence is solid and that only the gates utilize pickets. Please clarify. 05/24/2017: In the C-L zone, per Section 4.24(D)(2)(b) Nonresidential Development enclosed mini storage fencing along streets must be wrought iron or its visual equivalent. Also, any fencing along a public street that exceeds four feet in height must be placed in segments between buildings, not as a continuous fence. Fencing along Vine complies with this standard but not along Shields. The graphic for the fencing on Shields has been revised to show a transparent fence. The height of The fence along Shields Street will have a request for modification of standards provided with the submittal. Comment Number: 8 Comment Originated: 05/24/2017 10/24/2017: Carried Over: Also, per Section 4.24(D)(2)(b), the standard calls for perimeter fencing that exceeds four feet must be placed in segments between buildings and not as a continuous perimeter fence. The narrative indicates the preference for a six-foot high continuous fence along both streets and provides a reasonable justification for this approach. Please amend the narrative to include a Request for Modification of Standard which can be justified by Section 2.8.2(H)(1) in that the proposed design may be considered 13 Topic: General Comment Number: 2 Comment Originated: 10/23/2017 10/23/2017: An easement granted to Arthur Imgation Company from the property owner will be required before plan approval. Please contact the Arthur attorney, Brent Bartlett (Fisher Brown Bartlett & Gunn), 1319 E Prospect Road, Fort Collins, Colorado 80525; 970.407.9000 to begin the easement process. He contacted Brent as to any easement agreement with the Ditch Company.

Modifications will include trenching or boring new primary line under Vine Dr. and installing a new vault. Light and Power also has conduit stubbed along the east side of Shields St, adjacent to the site that could be utilized to provide power into the site. Further discussions are necessary to determine where the power feed into the site will come from. Discussions with Light and Power have indicated that power will come from the existing vault on the east corner of Vine and west at the existing vault. A new vault will be placed directly to the north of the existing vault in the R.O.W. adjacent on the south property line of the project to serve this property. A new transformer will be placed adjacent to the curb cut for this property at Vine Drive for onsite power requirements.

The current symbol is difficult to see. Please note that irrigated turf must be used in the right-of-way. Turf cover symbols have been revised as need to distinguish the different types more clearly. Comment Number: 7 Comment Originated: 05/26/2017 10/23/2017: All comments from 5/26/2017 still apply in regards to species selection. City Forestry would like the applicant to consider the use of Kentucky Coffeetree 'Espresso' in place of the proposed Honeylocust on the project. We are reaching a maximum species diversity of Honeylocust in Fort Collins and would like to begin incorporating alternative species in their place. Honeylocust trees have been replaced with another species. 05/26/2017: Tree Selection - Please replace American Linden with Kentucky Coffeetree or Catalpa. American Linden trees have been replaced with a different species. - Amur Chokecherry has poor survivability in Fort Collins. City Forestry has experienced early decline and sun scalding that usually results with premature removal/replacement. Forestry recommends using Gamble Oak in the dryland detention area and possibly Red Barron Crabapple for the two Chokecherry close to the Gas-O-Mat. Tree species change as been provided. - The conifers shown between the walk on Vine are close to the proposed street trees. This area will be heavily shaded as the street trees grow and mature. Location of these evergreen trees has been reconsidered. - Forestry recommends changing Limber Pine to either Rocky Mountain Juniper or Blue Spruce. Limber Pine has been eliminated for other tree species. - The two proposed pinyon pines and limber pines in the section along Shields on the west side of the building will not thrive due to heavy shading overtime as canopy shade trees mature. Please evaluate changing to a more shade tolerant species, such as Colorado Blue Spruce, and adding a couple more trees in this area. The evergreen species along Shields Street has been changed. Trees have been added, but if we already Have a shading concern, I have concerns for the viability of turf cover by adding additional trees.

The proposed project should be in the early to mid -design stage for also to be included on the landscape plans. Please omit the Landscape Specifications notes on sheet SP 3.2 and use the City of Fort Collins General Landscape Notes in their place. Title for Street Tree Notes has been revised. The current version of the General Landscape Notes and Tree Protection Notes have been placed on the Plans. 05/26/2017: Please use the City of Fort Collins General Landscape Notes, Street Tree Notes, Permit Note, and Tree Protection Notes on the landscape plans, which are available through the City Forester, Comment Number: 3 Comment Originated: 05/26/2017 10/23/2017: Continued: 05/26/2017: - At the onsite meeting, evaluation of the feasibility of transplanting the spruce closes to Vine can be determined. Evaluation of this existing tree finds it will be difficult to move with a low chance of survival. There is no place on site to utilize this tree if relocated. If someone wants to try to relocate the tree the Owners are open to allowing a qualified person the rights to move the tree off -site. - It also appears grading may impact two evergreens in the detention pond. The grading around the two existing evergreen trees at the north end of the site has been limited as Per directed by the City Forester. - Existing spruce along Shields appears to be further to the west. Please adjust this on the landscape plans. The location of the existing spruce tree along Shields Street has been verified and located accordingly.

Topic: General Comment Number: 24 Comment Originated: 10/25/2017 10/25/2017: The neckdown along Vine Drive shown for the curb and gutter transitioning to the roundabout further west is too abrupt with the right angle and would be difficult to reach for street sweeping/cleaning operations. Please implement a more gradual transition with curves that's more similar to the neckdowns at the other legs of the roundabout. This will need to be looked at in conjunction with understanding how the westbound bikelane movement is intended to transition from the frontage improvements to the existing roundabout operation. The end of the paving for the parking bay on the north side of Vine Drive has been provided with a `S' curve to facilitate the operation of street sweeping. A transition pathway for bicycles from the Street bike path to the sidewalk prior to the east end of the round -about has been added. Comment Number: 26 Comment Originated: 10/25/2017 10/25/2017: The ditch crossing shown across Vine Drive further east has a measured distance between the abutments of about 68 feet yet the imagery online seems to measure this crossing closer to 50 feet. If the data of the structure shown more illustrative or is it surveyed information? I'm concerned that the parameters for the design of the widening of Vine to a commercial local standard does not reflect tying into existing infrastructure accurately. The location and size of the bridge structure east of the site has been reviewed and now shown the Current geometry.

It would make more sense for it to follow logical boundaries on the site rather than the straight 50 feet in some places. Also, the buffer zone has not been labeled on all plans - please add labels to all plans that show the buffer zone. The Buffer Zone has been changed to follow the boundary of the Drainage Easement along the north Property line. The Buffer Zone label has been added to all plans. 05/23/2017: Please re -label the 50' Wildlife Buffer as "50' Natural Habitat Buffer Zone" on all sheets.

R.O.W. dedication of 11.5 feet is provided from the property to provide the required width of a Commercial Local street with street parking as requested. The current R.O.W. of 60 feet is all to the south of the south line of the property. I addition to the R.O.W. dedication a continuous 9 foot easement is provided inside the new south property line. 05/23/2017: Additional ROW will need to be dedicated on West Vine Drive to meet the minimum cross section of the Local Commercial Street. Additional R.O.W. and new easements are shown on the Plat, Site Documents, and Utility Plans.

A Signage and Striping Plan has been added to the project set. 4 Comment Number: 11 Comment Originated: 05/23/2017 10/25/2017: Carried over as detail did not appear to be included. 05/23/2017: The curb and gutter where the emergency access is located on Shields Street will need to be replaced with rollover curb and gutter. A detail will be needed for a 2' rollover curb and gutter. The emergency access on Shields was eliminated during the second round of design because it was determined with PFA that this access was not needed. Therefore it was not shown on the plans as a curb cut and the associated detail is not needed. Comment Number: 12 Comment Originated: 05/23/2017 10/25/2017: The information presented at this time is difficult to determine if the half commercial local street is being implemented at this time due to issues regarding the street plan and profile not being to the indicated scale, the lack of offsite design information, and the lack of a signing and striping plan showing the existing and proposed striping along both side of Vine Drive. Further review upon updating will needed. Street and Profile Plans are provided to the scale as indicated on the plans. A Signing and Striping Plan has been added to the set. 05/23/2017: A Commercial Local street cross section is needed for Vine Drive. A total of 36' of ROW is needed for the north of the Street. This cross section also shows a 5' sidewalk, not a 4.5' walk. Additional ROW will be needed to meet the minimum cross section requirements. Two Commercial Local street cross sections are provided on Sheet C 2.2. The R.O.W. width is 71.5 feet to provide for parking along the north side of the street. The R.O.W. width from centerline of the street north is 42.5 feet. The existing R.O.W. at this property is unusual being that the existing 60 foot R.O.W. is on the south side of the Section line and the Section line being the south line of the property. To provide for curb and gutter, parkway, and sidewalk a dedication of 11.5 foot of R.O.W. and a 9 0 foot dedication of easement is platted with this project. Comment Number: 13 Comment Originated: 05/23/2017 10/25/2017: The plan and profile information added has concerns referenced in Comment ID #1 (lack of offsite design, grade break exceeding requirements, cross slope for the additional widening does not meet minimums, lack of stationing and curve data information. Assuming these issues are addressed, the culvert should be specified as a concrete culvert, depicting a widening of the sidewalk 6 inches on either side of the culvert. Revisions to the street plan and profile have been made. 05/23/2017: Additional information is needed for the Plan and Profile/cross sections of Vine Drive. Plan view, centerline, existing and proposed ROW, existing and proposed slopes, etc. Please label the existing slope of Vine Drive to the west. How will drainage be conveyed to the east of the property since there is no curb and gutter? Additional plan information was provided with the last submission. All drainage for the developed street will be directed onto the site, treated and released through the site detention area. Drainage of the street east of the site are not affected or changed by this project. Drainage from the street to the east sheet flows onto the property to the east and flows north and east into the Arthur Ditch as it has since the street was constructed. 3 Stationing information along the flowline view and in general, gridlines with stationing at prescribed intervals for the profile view. (XX.O.) Curve table for line and curve data. (XX.P.) In general, the street plan and profile sheets aren't shown to their indicated scale, making review difficult. (XX.V.) 05/23/2017: Please refer to Appendix E-4 for the Utility Plan Requirements Checklist. Additional information as requested in Comment 1 have been provided. Comment Number: 5 Comment Originated: 05/23/2017 10/25/2017: The Environmental Planner signature added to the civil plans should not have been added to the site plan. The Environmental Planner signature has been removed from the Site Plan. 05/23/2017: An Environmental Planner signature line is needed on the signature block on the Cover Sheet of the Utility Plans. Signature line for the Environmental Planner was in the City Signature Block on the Cover Page For the second review. Comment Number: 6 Comment Originated: 05/23/2017 10/25/2017: The Arthur Ditch Company's signature should be its own signature block on the civil set, not embedded with the City Approval Block. Please ensure the plans correct the name of this ditch company, which is reflected as both "Aurthur and Author". Separate signature block for Arthur Irrigation Company has been added to the plans. 05/23/2017: Please see redlines for sheets missing the City signature blocks as well as the Ditch company signature blocks required on each sheet. Signature blocks have been added to the plan sheets as requested. Comment Number: 10 Comment Originated: 05/23/2017 10/25/2017: The street patching information shows three street cuts within a 75 foot distance which would require an expanded street cut to encompass all three cuts. In general the patching shown on the plans cannot be solidified at this time, pending more design information on how the proposal implements the commercial local standard and how the patching then aligns with parking, bikelanes and/or travel lanes. There are four street patches west of the main entry to the site and east of the emergency access to the site along Vine Drive. These have been incorporated into one patch. The area of patch east of the main site entry in Vine Drive remains an independent patch. 05/23/2017: The services (sanitary and water) that serve the 2 story apartment building need to run perpendicular to the street. Depending on the ROW requirements along Vine Drive, the services may need to move further north so they are not running parallel in the public ROW. Water and sanitary service lines for the two story residential building have been moved to run perpendicular from the main to the structure. 2 Fort Collins Community Development and Neighborhood Services 281 North College Avenue PO Box 580 Fort Collins, CO 80522 970.221.6750 970.224.6134 - fax fcgov. com/developmentre view October 27, 2017 Ric Hattman Hattman Associates 524 S.

Among them: Offsite design of plan and profile 500 feet to the east along Vine Drive, to show how establishment of the curb and gutter abutting the property can be tied into by future curb and gutter improvements to the east which would then tie horizontally and vertically to the existing curb and gutter further east (Appendix E-4: V.C.) The .93% flowline grade along Vine along the majority of the property then hitting a low point with a 3.33% flowline grade in the opposite direction exceeds grade break requirements in the sag condition. There may be similar concerns with the crest condition depicted in the flowline view on the west side as there is a depicted high point at the station 0+52, the location of this area isn't apparent in plan view due to lack of stationing information. (V.H. and V.I.) (At time of final) flowline grades will be required on the south side of Vine Drive (V.Q.) Minimum cross slope for reconstruction is 1.5%, the plans show cross sections of 1.23% and 1.48%. (VI.B.)
