03/28/18: A note needs to be added to the site plan explaining trash service.
05/23/2017: - How will the development handle refuse? Will a trash enclosure
be provided for this storage facility? If an enclosure is provided it will need to be
adequately sized and conveniently located. The enclosure will also need to have
a separate pedestrian access for ease of use as per 3.2.5.
10/24/2017 : I see the shaded area of a private trash area but I need an
elevation or a change to the site plan showing how the trash area will operate.
A trash gated trash area is provided for the residential unit on site. Typically no trash containers are
Provided for storage areas since people abuse them and try to dispose of doxic materials.

Fire access is required to within 150' of all exterior portions of any building, or
facility as measured by an approved route around the building perimeter. For
the purposes of this section, fire access cannot be measured from an arterial
road (Shields) and a fire lane will be required on the property. Any fire lane on
private property shall be dedicated as an Emergency Access Easement (EAE)
and be labeled as such on future plans.
The existing hammerhead easement currently indicated for the cell tower is not
labeled as an Emergency Access Easement. Dedication of an EAE for cell
tower access was required to be dedicated in conjunction with construction of
the cell tower. As it relates to the overall site plan, this easement does not
provide access to the entire site as defined by code. An Emergency Access
Easement will need to be updates so as to serve the entire facility and be
dedicated with the replat. Code language provided below.
> IFC 503.1.1: Approved fire Lanes shall be provided for every facility, building
or portion of a building hereafter constructed or moved into or within the
jurisdiction. The fire apparatus access road shall comply with the requirements
of this section and shall extend to within 150 feet of all portions of the facility and
all portions of the exterior walls of the first story of the building as measured by
an approved route around the exterior of the building or facility. When any
portion of the facility or any portion of an exterior wall of the first story of the
building is located more than 150 feet from fire apparatus access, the fire code
official is authorized to increase the dimension if the building is equipped
throughout with an approved, automatic fire -sprinkler system.

The street tree placement along Vine appears to be less than 30 feet in some
areas. The required distance between street trees is 30-40 feet. Please adjust
spacing to meet. In addition, the Cottonwoods are spaced at 20 feet. These are
very large maturing shade trees that should be spaced, at minimum, 30 feet
apart to allow for proper growth.
Alignment of trees has been provided.

05/25/2017: Light and Power has electric facilities along the south side of Vine
Dr. that, with modifications to our primary system, can be utilized to provide
power to the site. 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.
Source of power, new vault, and new transformer are shown on the site.

Please use a distinct symbol for existing trees on -site and trees to remain. This
symbol should differ from new plantings. City Forestry suggests using a lighter
shade for the symbol to increase distinction between existing and proposed
landscaping.
A new symbol is used for existing trees to remain on the Landscape Plan.

Thank you for showing mitigation trees with a M. However, I only counted 22
mitigation trees. There is one existing tree labeled as mitigation tree, but
unfortunately, this will not count towards your total required mitigation number.
Please add one more mitigation tree to the plan and update the landscape
schedule accordingly.

Thank you for providing the Minimum Species Diversity percentages in the
landscape schedule. Please remove existing trees from the landscape
schedule as they should not be included in the new species diversity. In
addition, please provide the total plant count for each category. For example,
there are 24 deciduous trees, 23 ornamental trees, and 23 coniferous. The
species percentage should derive from the total number of trees (70 trees).
Since there are greater than 60 trees on -site, no more than 15% of one species
shall be planted. Please adjust the species diversity so that calculation uses the
total number of trees on -site (70). For example, there are 5 Kentucky Coffeetree
proposed out of 70 total trees. The diversity percentage for Kentucky Coffeetree
equals - 7%.
These revisions have been made.

City Forestry does not advise planting Black Walnut because they are
susceptible to Thousand Cankers Disease. Most Black Walnut trees in the area
are in rapid decline from this disease. Please plant additional Catalpa or
incorporate Accolade Elm in place of the Black Walnuts.
The Black Walnut trees have been removed from the design. I had one in my yard that died this year.
Please indicate Thornless Cockspur Hawthorn (Crategus crusgalli `Inermis') in
the plant schedule.

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.
This change has been made. The remaining Honeylocust are all existing.

Tree Selection
- Please replace American Linden with Kentucky Coffeetree or Catalpa.
- 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.
- 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.
- Forestry recommends changing Limber Pine to either Rocky Mountain Juniper
or Blue Spruce.
- 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.
These changes have been incorporated into the Plans.

The symbols are still a little unclear. To clarify which trees are existing on the
landscape plans (sheet SP3.1), please say "EXISTING TREE TO REMAIN"
followed by the species abbreviation. Omit displaying mitigation values for
these existing trees as they will not require any mitigation. In the landscape
schedule, please do not include existing trees because it might confuse the
landscape contractor about the number of trees they are to purchase/plant
- Existing spruce along Shields appears to be further to the west. Please adjust
this on the landscape plans.
Spruce tree at south end of site is discussed above. Grading around the two evergreen trees at the north
end of the site has been accomplished to keep these trees out of the detention pond. Location of the
spruce tree along Shields has been evaluated and repositioned.

Thank you for providing proper tree -utility separation throughout the site. There

Is it possible to transplant the tree near the two existing conifers (Engleman
Spruce and Ponderosa Pine)? If not, then City Forestry will explore possibilities
of transplanting the Colorado Blue Spruce off -site. Will advise with final
decision.
The Owner has contacted several tree moving companies and none of them want to move it. The size of
detention ponds limits the ability to place another tree at the north end of the Site without interfering with
detention. The City is welcome to it if they can move it.

revised design.
It is not clear if this is an internal City matter or you want to discuss with our Construction Team.
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.
The spacing of street cuts has been changed to have fewer cuts and the cuts more continous in area. This
was addressed previously.
