1 General [8/30/04] Site vicinity drawing shows WEST Harmony Rd. It should be EAST
Harmony Rd. (I know, pickey pickey).
Resolved 1 Doug Martine 08/30/2004
2 Landscape [8/30/04] A streetlight plan for JFK Pkwy. was sent to Ted Shepard on
8-30-04 to be forwarded to the applicant. The street tree plan must be
adjusted to provide a minimum of 40 ft. between the streetlights and trees.
Resolved 1 Doug Martine 08/30/2004
3 Utility Plan [8/30/04] The developer will need to coordinate locations for pad type electric
transformers with Light & Power Engineering. Also, L&P will need electrical
load information in the form of a completed C-1 form for the clubhouse.
Active 1 Doug Martine 08/30/2004
4 Utility Plan [8/30/04] Each dwelling unit must be individually metered electrically, with the
meters located outdoors. The utility plan shows the electric service to each
building such that there will be 27 to 31 electric meters on the front of each
building. Is this both possible and architectually acceptable?
Resolved 1 Doug Martine 08/30/2004
5 Utility Plan [8/30/04] There is an existing electrical vault on the eastern side of JFK
Parkway, approximately where the driveway entrance is to the site. This vault
should be shown on the utility plan. If the vault must be relocated, costs will
be the responsibility of the developer.
Active 1 Doug Martine 08/30/2004
6 Traffic [8/31/04] Traffic in this area can be problematic at times. At one time, there
was discussion of combining this developments access with the northern
access of Home Depot and realigning the access with King Soopers on the
west side of JFK. It appears that this is not the case.
The TIS assigned traffic to the Home Depot access and a connection is not
shown on the site plan.
A traffic signal/RBt is warranted and needed at the intersection of
JFK/Troutman. I am not sure if this is a developer cost or Street Oversizing
expenditure - either way, it needs to be completed with this project. The TIS
displayed that a RBT would work well at the JFK/Troutman intersection and
should be pursued.

[10/12/04] Progress has been made toward the comment below, but there
are still areas that need attention. Please take another look at the plans and
revise accordingly.
[9/2/04] Please see the Larimer County Urban Area Street Standards,
Appendix E, for scanability requirements for all plan sheets. Currently the
plans do not meet the requirements.
Resolved 1 Katie Moore 09/02/2004
8 General [9/2/04] Per LUC 3.6.6 (D) 3, the minimum width of an emergency access
road serving buildings 3 or more stories tall must be 30 feet. Please revise all
parking lot aisles adjacent to the condos to be a minimum of 30' wide.
Resolved 1 Katie Moore 09/02/2004
9 General [9/2/04] Per LUC 3.6.6 (D) 4.g, the minimum radius for emergency access
roads must be 25' inside and 50' outside (measured from same centerpoint).
Please revise curbs around curves to accommodate this requirement.
Resolved 1 Katie Moore 09/02/2004
10 General [2/16/05]
[1/4/05] Please provide a completed deed of dedication to the City (using the
City's standard language, with P&Z acceptance) for this emergency access
easement.
NEEDED PRIOR TO HEARING:
[10/12/04] Thank you for showing more information regarding this
emergency access. Please provide a letter of intent from Home Depot for the
emergency access easement prior to scheduling a hearing date for the
project.
[9/2/04] How will the emergency access connect to the Home Depot
driveway? The drive is currently shown to stop short at the property line.
Please show how it will be built and provide any needed offsite easements for
the connection. (If the current Home Depot plat does not show an emergency
access easement on this driveway, the easement will need to connect the
EAE on Settler's Creek to the ROW on JFK through this driveway.

11 General [1/4/05] A note on the plans indicates that alignment of this path is not yet
figured out, yet it is shown on the plans to end at the bridge. Please show the
final alignment on the plans.
NEEDED PRIOR TO HEARING:
[10/12/04] Please resolve any issues with Parks regarding this sidewalk
connection prior to the City scheduling a hearing for the project. Please have
Craig Foreman contact me when he is ready for the project to go to a
hearing.
[9/2/04] Currently, only the site plan shows the sidewalk connection to
Landings Park all the way to its end. This should be shown on all plans.
Also, please work with Parks to obtain any needed easements/approval for
that sidewalk connection on Parks property. It would be a good idea to take a
closer look at the termination of this sidewalk - it is currently proposed to
dead end at the end of a parking stall. Perhaps it should be continued to the
street sidewalk on Boardwalk to make it more functional?
Resolved 1 Katie Moore 09/02/2004
12 General [1/4/05] Which lane of eastbound Pavilion is going to have the through
movement? Does it align with the lane proposed by this development?
NEEDED PRIOR TO HEARING:
[10/12/04] Pavilion is shown on these plans as a 30' cross-section, but on the
Goodwill plans it is shown as a 50' cross-section. Please coordinate with
Goodwill and redesign the driveway for this site to have through lanes align
across JFK.
[9/2/04] The Larimer County Urban Area Street Standards requires that,
across an intersection, lanes must align or be no more than 2' offset from the
lanes across the street. The current configuration of the driveway onto JFK
doesn't meet this requirement. It appears that the median will have to be
significantly shrunk or removed.
Resolved 1 Katie Moore 09/02/2004
13 General [10/12/04] If these stalls need to be labeled as compact, please show this on
the site plan.
[9/2/04] Will cars be able to fully pull into the 17' stalls where the tree grates
protrude into the parking stalls? If not, do these stalls need to be
lengthened? Where open parking stalls are opposite these shorter stalls, can
they be made into the shorter stalls, and the extra 2 feet added to the stalls
with the tree grates?
Resolved 1 Katie Moore 09/02/2004
14 General [9/3/04] There are a number of locations where bike racks were placed right
in front of ped ramps in the direct path of the sidewalk. Functionality of the
ramps and walks would be greatly increased by moving these racks to a side.

the site. Is it ok to build parking in it?
Resolved 1 Katie Moore 09/03/2004
16 General [1/4/05] Please note the approved variance in the general notes on the utility
plan set.
NEEDED PRIOR TO HEARING:
[10/12/04] The variance request has been received. Please note that all
variance requests must address whether the health, safety, and welfare of
the public is being diminished in any way. Also, driveway and intersection
separation requirements apply to driveways and streets on both sides of the
road both north and south of the development, so addressing only the drives
on the east side of JFK leaves some holes in the variance request. Please
review 1.9.4 in LCUASS when writing variance requests. Please take a few
minutes to revise this variance request and resubmit.
[9/3/04] A variance request is required for the driveway separation
requirement on an arterial street. Staff anticipates supporting the variance,
but it needs to be submitted and substantiated per LCUASS 1.9.4.

vacate the easement in this manner rather than by separate document.
[9/3/04] Is it ok to overlap the detention pond easement with the parking
drive aisle, garages, and trash enclosure? I believe the portion with the
garages and trash enclosures would have to be vacated or the structures
would have to be removed from the easement.

determined in the field by the City Engineering Inspector. All repairs are to be
in accordance with City street repair standards.
Resolved 1 Katie Moore 09/03/2004
24 General [9/3/04] Would it be possible to get a ped connection to Somerset
Apartments to improve the connectivity of the area? Current configuration of
the garages and landscaping presents a large "wall" separating the two
developments. A site visit revealed that Someret Apartments has installed a
gate in the fence at the southwest corner of their site. A walkway connecting
this gate to the sidewalk on JFK would seem to be in order, since there is
already a well-worn path in this location.

33 General [9/13/04] This project is required to submit an Ecological Characterization
Study.
Fort Collins Land Use Code 3.4.1(D)(1)
(1) Ecological Characterization Study. If the development site contains, or is
within five hundred (500) feet of, a natural habitat or feature, or if it is
determined by the Director, upon information or from inspection, that the site
likely includes areas with wildlife, plant life and/or other natural characteristics
in need of protection, then the developer shall provide to the city an ecological
characterization report prepared by a professional qualified in the areas of
ecology, wildlife biology or other relevant discipline. The Director may waive
any or all of the following elements of this requirement if the city already
possesses adequate information required by this subsection to establish the
buffer zone(s), as set forth in subsection (E) below, and the limits of
development ("LOD"), as set forth in subsection (N) below. The ecological
characterization study shall describe, without limitation, the following:
(a) the wildlife use of the area showing the species of wildlife using the area,
the times or seasons that the area is used by those species and the "value"
(meaning feeding, watering, cover, nesting, roosting, perching) that the area
provides for such wildlife species;
(b) the boundary of wetlands in the area and a description of the ecological
functions and characteristics provided by those wetlands;
(c) any prominent views from or across the site;
(d) the pattern, species and location of any significant native trees and other
native site vegetation;
(e) the bank, shoreline and high water mark of any perennial stream or body
of water on the site;
(f) areas inhabited by or frequently utilized by Sensitive and Specially Valued
Species;

41 Transportation [9/14/04] A number of bicycle racks are located directly in the path of
handicap access ramps. I believe that this is a detriment to cyclists wishing
to lock their bicycles as well as pedestrians. See redlines for bicycle rack

Resolved 1 David Averill 09/14/2004
42 Transportation [9/14/04] A quick site visit revealed that there are a number of "goat paths",
or informal pedestrian routes (typically a well-worn dirt path) through this site.
One prominent exisiting path, and one that I think the applicant should
consider in the design of this project, originates at the sw corner of Somerset
Apts property to the north. In my opinion, it would be advisable for this
project to construct a more formal footpath from this point out to the existing
sidewalk on JFK (this path would traverse the north-western edge of the
"water feature" just north of this projects entryway). Obviously this is only a
suggestion, but it would seem to be in the applicants interest to construct
such a pathway (crushed rock or pavers would be entirely permissible in this
instance) as it would hopefully keep people from Somerset Apts. from
creating a new "goat path" through this landscaped area on their way to
destinations south and southeast.
Resolved 1 David Averill 09/14/2004
43 Transportation [9/14/04] A number of "painted crosswalks" (as designated in the legend,
Preliminary Site Plan) are proposed with this project. I would like to direct the

(as a stand-alone treatment) across drive aisles is not a suitable method of
providing the pedestrian with the crossing priority intended by the code.

47 General [9/14/04] Regarding the modification request:
When referring to LUC 3.6.2(L)1a regarding private drives, the last sentence
states that: "A private drive shall not be permitted if it prevents or diminishes
compliance with any other provisions of this Land Use Code." Since a public
street with a cul-de-sac (in lieu of the private drives proposed) could be
located on the property to help with compliance with the connecting walkway
standard, shouldn't a modification to this standard also be requested?

65 Transportation [10/19/04] Thanks to the applicant for providing raised crosswalks at
strategic locations throughout the project. I do wish to recommend however,
that the raised crosswalk linking the walkway between buildings A and H
towards the clubhouse be constructed as a "speed table". Bascially, this
would end up being a raised crosswalk of additional width at this location. If
constructed as such it will more suitably address the intent of the connecting
walkway standard from an urban design and functionality standpoint. I will
provide some examples for the applicants consideration.

66 Transportation [10/19/04] Related to comment No. 44 from the previous round of review -
please make sure to coordinate with Craig Foreman on the location of the
sidewalk connection to Landings park. The previous submittal had this
connection on the applicants property; now it is shown on City property.
Resolved 2 David Averill 10/19/2004
68 Transportation [10/19/04] Thanks for providing the new connection to Landings park in
attempt to resolve some of issues identified in comment no. 42 from the
previous round of review. However, I think we are talking about different
"goat paths". The applicant is correct in stating in the response to comments
that the Somerset property to the north is fenced. However, near the western
property line (between Somerset Apts and Reflections Senior Apartments)
this fence has a gate in it, and this is the location that I was referring to in my
previous comment. Again, it is only a recommendation that the applicant
address this at this location.

87 Downstream
Impacts
[1/4/05] The development design shows an overtopping at Boadwalk to
exceed existing conditions and would increase the water surface elevation of
the pond in the Pier Apartments. An analysis of these impacts should be
made to show, that they will not cause an adverse impact. Otherwise an
easement from the Pier Apartments might be rquired. An increase of 0.04 ft
would be OKsince it would be negligible enough to rounded down. If pond
volume needs to be adjusted, then a variance from the 4:1 side slope would
be OK.

to be used and when they are to be used, project schedule, calculations, and
have proper items on the plan sheet per City of Fort Collins specifications.
Second Review
February 8, 2005
1. The report states straw bales are to be utilized, I do not find any on the
plan or in your EFF calculations. Are they being used?
2. Do you need silt fencing along the top of the detention area?
3. The pond should be utilized as a sediment trap. This should be clearly
indicated on the plan.
4. Reseeding and mulching of disturbed areas should be indicated on the
plan unless all areas are to be sodded, in which case this should be indicated
on the plan.
5. The report indicates that seeding/mulching may occur as early as the
second month. Standard notes state that all seeding/mulching must be done
within 30 days unless otherwise approved by the Utility. Please correct the
report.
6. Surety calculation?

You have labels that indicate that sidewalks are 6 feet typical, 7.5 feet typical

139 Stormwater [1/9/08] The Stormwater Criteria requires pans in detention when the grade
is less than 2%. The applicants engineer asked if the pans could be
eliminated. The pans need to remain on the plan set until it can be
determined that the pond is functioning correctly without them. That means
there are no stagnate water areas that become mosquito breeding areas or
cause noxious smells. It also means that the bottom of the pond is stable
enough that mowers will not get stuck or cause ruts in the bottom of the
pond. This determination can be made during construction by the
Stormwater Certification Engineer. For now however the pans should still be
shown on the utility plans. If it cannot be determined at the end of
construction, an escrow amount for 1.5 times the cost to install the pans can
be submitted and held until a final decision can be made.
