5/1/2018:
On sheets 18 and 19, will the trees along the Tract B, Tract E, and Tract K boundary lines potentially be
impacted by the future development? City Forestry suggests showing these trees as future street trees
as a part of the next phase development.
NOTES FROM TB GROUP:
How should we notate trees in future development tracts since we don't yet know if they will be
removed?
What type of notes do we need to include to cover tree banking?
should still be noted on the plans, but consider decreasing the number of this species. Additional Linden,
Elm, and Oak species can be incorporated on the plans to increase the diversity numbers, too. Elm
species we prefer: Accolade, New Horizon, David, Discovery (type of David). Stay away from Frontier Elm
and other cultivars as they are susceptible to European Elm Scale.
Oak Species we prefer: Heritage Oak (cross btwn Bur and English), straight English Oak, fastigiate English
Oak, Texas Red, Shumard, Chinkapin. Stay away from Swamp White Oak, White Oak, and Northern Red
Oak as they need more acidic soils than we have in Fort Collins.
Linden species we prefer: Legend, Sentry, Greenspire, Redmond.
RESOLVED Please incorporate additional ornamental species. This is a large development with many
trees and the site will benefit from increased variety of ornamental species. Please select species from
the following list: Japanese Tree Lilac, Bigtooth Maple,
RESOLVED Please identify the seedless variety of Kentucky Coffeetree —'Espresso' on the landscape
plans.
City of Fort Collins Forestry Division is close to reaching the maximum percentage of Honeylocust in Fort
Collins' urban forest. During the development review process, we see it as an opportune time to
educate landscape architects to use fewer Honeylocust on plan proposals. On this project, there are 39
Honeylocust proposed out of 218 canopy shade trees. Please significantly decrease the number of
Honeylocust and incorporate Catalpa and Elm (David, Accolade, New Horizon).

All trees on -site shall receive irrigation. There are several trees placed in the "non -irrigated native
foothills grass mix"; these trees will not survive without irrigation. Please verify that these trees will
receive some sort of drip irrigation.

Thank you for providing the lot details on sheet 6 of the site plan. The Typical Utility Layout should only
show 1 tree per lot since the lots are 50' wide (see comment 7 for more detail). Please show one tree
per lot for the other two typical lot details.
10/10/2017:
Please provide a typical lot detail including driveways, street lights, sidewalks, and street trees. Street
trees should be spaced at least 8 feet from curb cuts or driveways.

The symbol for irrigated turf is a little hard to interpret on the landscape plans. Please darken the
symbol and be sure to show irrigated turf within the right-of-ways throughout the development.

It is still my belief that more evergreen trees can be provided on the landscape plan. Only 17 trees out of
300 are conifers, and more should be incorporated in place of ornamental trees, especially in the larger
open space tracts. Previously suggested conifer species are great options. A sufficient balance of tree
types and species should be considered on this plan due to its size.
5/1/2018:
Species selection:
Please incorporate additional evergreen species to provide a more diverse coniferous palette. Please
select species from the following list: Colorado Blue Spruce, Southwestern White Pine, Bristlecone Pine,
Limber Pine, and Bosnian Pine. In addition, it is my knowledge that Texas Red Oak are not always easily
available in nursery stock, especially in large numbers and upsized calipers. They are a great tree and
Carry-over comments are comments that were not resolved the previous round. Please clarify the
symbol used for stop signs as it not entirely clear on the plans.

RESOLVED: There is one Redmond Linden less than 40 feet from a street light. Please adjust to meet 40
feet separation (sheet 14). In addition, there is space in front of lots 21 and 22 on sheet 14 to add trees.
Please provide proper separation from the street light.
RESOLVED: There is well over 40 feet separation between an ornamental and shade tree in front of lots
5 and 6. 1 believe there is room to add a shade tree 40 feet off of the street light (lot 6) while still
maintaining 40 feet from the shade tree in front of lot 5 (sheet 17).
CONTINUED: Have the page numbers changed on this plan set? I cannot seem to find the water utility
conflict on sheet 18.
There is over 40 feet separation between two ornamental trees (street light in between). I believe there
is an opportunity to add another ornamental tree 15 feet off the street light, or switch the ornamental
tree east of the street light to a canopy shade tree while providing at least 30 feet separation between
that and the next shade tree (sheet 18).
10/10/2017:
Show location of any stop signs and street lights. Identify these fixtures with a distinct symbol. Space
trees if needed as follows.
Stop Signs: 20 feet from sign
Street Light: 40 feet for canopy shade trees and 15 feet for ornamental trees

Continued:
Please note that lots larger than 60 feet in width can have more than one street tree. Street tree spacing
can be a minimum of 30 feet and a maximum of 40 feet. For example, on sheet 13 the lots are 80 feet in
width and street trees are well over 80 feet apart.
10/10/2017:
The majority of the lots are 60 feet or less. The LUC states that only one street tree per lot is required on
lots that are 60 feet or less. The current plan does, not incorporate this comment.
If two (2) or more consecutive residential lots along a street each measure between forty (40) and sixty
(60) feet in street frontage width, one (1) tree per lot may be substituted for the thirty-foot to forty -foot
spacing requirement. Such street trees shall be placed at least eight (8) feet away from the edges of
driveways and alleys, and forty (40) feet away from any streetlight and to the extent reasonably feasible,
be positioned at evenly spaced intervals.
A site visit with Kristin Turner occurred on 8/23/2017 to complete the on -site tree inventory and
mitigation meeting. Please include the tree inventory and mitigation information to the landscape plans.

Please show trees to be removed with an X on sheets 9 and 10. In addition, please show all existing trees
on the landscape with a note that says: Existing trees to remain and be protected. Please show trees to
be removed with a X on the symbol (for example -not shown on sheet 18).
10/10/2017:
There appears to be some discrepancies on Sheet 6 in regards to Tree Inventory details. Trees L5, L7, L22
should be shown as TO BE REMOVED on the enlargement. It would be helpful to see trees to be
removed marked with an "X" on the enlargement.
3 RESOLVED 5-1-18
10/10/2017:
Species Selection:
City Forestry does not recommend using Red Sunset Maple because they do not reliably survive or
thrive in Fort Collins soils. In addition, English Oak suffered some freeze damage during the 2014 freeze.
Forestry would prefer not to use them on this project. Please incorporate other tree species such as
Kentucky Coffeetree, Catalpa, Shumard Oak, and Texas Red Oak.
