City Staff would support this connection. Also a HAWK signal is recommended in the TIS at the Mason/Creger intersection, however a Feasibility Analysis was not included with the report. The Analysis is required if any type of treatment were to be installed as part of the City's crosswalk policy.

Please remove the parking reduction notes for proximity to the MAX station (as the project does not meet the minimum distance via ped access) and for provision of transit passes. Neither of them are being used to reduce parking beyond the 50% for affordable housing. Comment Number: 2 Comment Originated: 05/08/2018 05/08/2018: One way to achieve a passing pedestrian LOS is to negotiate an access easement between Mason St. and the Horsetooth MAX Station. There are two properties that could accommodate this access. Please contact me so we can determine next steps.

This includes removal and replacement of parking areas and other site improvements. The modified impervious area is required to be treated with a LID technique per City standards. 05/07/2018 05/08/2018 Department: Technical Services Contact: Jeff County, 970-221-6588, (county@fcgov.com Topic: Building Elevations Comment Number: 6 Comment Originated: 05/08/2018 05/08/2018: There are line over text issues.

You're proposing a prefinished metal parapet, which wouldn't meet the code. We'll either need a modification request for this standard or a tweak to the parapet to make it have more three dimensionality. Comment Number: 9 Comment Originated: 05/04/2018 05/04/2018: What percentage of the ground floor and upper floors are glazing? Section 3.10.5(G) requires pedestrian oriented facades to be 60% glazing. For this project, staff interprets this to apply towards the west elevation. 40% of the upper floors need to be glazing. Please provide this calculation. This section also allows for alternative compliance through enhanced architectural features, enhanced landscaping, trellises, arcades or shallow display window cases. Topic: Landscape Plans Comment Number: 1 Comment Originated: 05/04/2018 05/04/2018: For hearing, we will need details on the shrub beds proposed on the east edge of the parking lot and within the landscape islands in the parking lot. This is to ensure compliance with Sections 3.2.1(E)(4) & (5). Comment Number: 2 Comment Originated: 05/04/2018 05/04/2018: The label on the tree species diversity table indicates the standards for sites with more than 60 trees. This site contains 29 trees, so you should label that column as 20-39 trees < 33%. Comment Number: 3 Comment Originated: 05/04/2018 05/04/2018: Your proposed landscaping exceeds the maximum water budget per 3.2.1(E)(3)(b). Adjust the landscape plan to reduce the water budget. Comment Number: 4 Comment Originated: 05/04/2018 05/04/2018: Thank you for submitting a tree mitigation plan. It is unclear how you are mitigating for the loss of trees based on the landscape plan submitted. Please clearly indicate which trees will be counting towards meeting the mitigation requirement.

Comment Number: 3 Comment Originated: 05/08/2018 05/08/2018: AERIAL FIRE APPARATUS ACCESS The proposed site plan does not yet fully reflect compliance with fire code requirements relative to Aerial Apparatus Access as defined by IFC Appendix D105.3. > Access to the north side of the building provides one point of access which is positioned at 32' (greater than 30') from the building. > Access points on the south side of the building provide limited roof access to the SW corner and the drive is positioned at 14' (less than 16) from the building. > A conversation with the fire marshal will be required to determine if the current plan is sufficient to meet the intent of the code. Comment Number: 4 Comment Originated: 05/08/2018 05/08/2018: PARAPET HEIGHT What is the parapet height above the roof deck? While not detailed in the fire code, parapet wall heights more than 4' above rood deck to no support fire access from ladder trucks. If the applicant intends to meet aerial apparatus access as defined by the fire code, the parapet height will need to be considered.

In general recycling containers must be at least 50% the size of proposed trash containers to meet this requirement. Please make sure proposed containers meet this requirement and that adequate space is provided in all enclosures. Comment Number: 3 Comment Originated: 04/30/2018 04/30/2018: A wider overall opening for the service gates will allow for more efficient access for haulers. Consider integrating the pedestrian entrance into one of the service gates (a smaller gate within a larger one) or by locating the two service gates to be adjacent to one another. Department: Light And Power Contact: Austin Kreager, akreager@fcgov.com Topic: General Comment Number: 1 Comment Originated: 05/04/2018 05/04/2018: This site is currently being fed by a 277/480 volt 150 kva transformer. Typical residential buildings do not have this large of a power need. This transformer can be changed out for a smaller one at the applicant's expense if need be. Comment Number: 2 Comment Originated: 05/04/2018 05/04/2018: Multi family buildings are treated as commercial services; therefore a(C 1) form must be filled out and submitted to Light & Power Engineering.

Please retain if possible — this is a very nice specimen. - Tree #16 is shown as #2.0. Please correct. - Tree #22 — Hackberry is shown to retain in the mitigation summary, but shown to remove on the plans. Please retain if possible. - Please update the number of required mitigation trees in the Tree Inventory table, Tree Mitigation Summary, and Provided Tree Mitigation table. In the Provided Tree Mitigation table, the total number of trees shown is 2 — please update. Comment Number: 6 Comment Originated: 05/07/2018 Please adjust the street trees to be spaced at least 30-40 feet apart. According to my measurements, some trees are closer than 30 feet.

Comment Number: 7 Comment Originated: 05/07/2018 05/07/2018: Plat: it seems that 36 feet of new ROW on Mason and 33 feet of new ROW on Creger are being dedicated with this plat — is that correct? I was under the impression the new ROW dedication was quite a bit less from the existing ROW. Please confirm where the existing ROW lies. Comment Number: 8 Comment Originated: 05/07/2018 05/07/2018: Plat: does the 60-foot access and utility easement in Mason still exist? Is this area not existing ROW?
