benches are to remain? Are there any new benches provided?
Current benches are moveable and shall be temporarily removed from site during the
construction period. The benches are mainly used by residence to rest while walking
the sidewalks inside the community’s property. Final bench locations shall be
determined and moved as required by staff at the best location for the residence use
once the construction is complete.

06/26/2012: The landscape plan is difficult to read. Please remove items such as "relocate
existing grease trap". The symbols are too similar. For example, I cannot tell the different between
the blue chip juniper and the tammy juniper.
Acknowledged, landscape plan has been revised accordingly.

06/26/2012: Please provide a color elevation.
Acknowledged, colored elevations provided in revised submittal set.
Comment Number: 5 Comment Originated: 06/26/2012
06/26/2012: The tree mitigation plan is unreadable. Please turn off additional layers. Has this tree
mitigation schedule been approved by Tim Buchanan, City Forester? There could be an issue with
the number of trees. Please revise the tree mitigation table to show total number of existing trees
on site. Total number of trees existing on site currently, the total number of existing trees to be
protected, total number of trees removed and total number of trees transplanted. The tree
mitigation plan should be full sized and a separate sheet.
Acknowledged, layers have been turned off allowing for a more clear and readable
plan. Tim Buchanan – City Forester, has met Mike Brake (Civil Engineer), Kirby Smith
(Landscape Architect) and Ed Johnson (Architect) on site to review, discuss and has
given preliminary approval on the tree mitigation process and proposed overall
landscape design.
Comment Number: 6 Comment Originated: 06/27/2012
06/26/2012: The memory care building has an existing iron fence. Please show on site plan.
Will the new facility is proposed to have any sort of fencing? If so, please provide fence detail.
Acknowledged, the existing iron fence is identified on the revised drawing.
The proposed Clare Bridge Crossing will have a secured courtyard. The courtyard
fencing shall be a stained wood fence. Fence elevation and details are shown on the
revised drawing.

Acknowledged, a landscaping table is provided complying with LUC 3.2.1(D)(3)
Comment Number: 7 Comment Originated: 06/27/2012
06/27/2012: I have a concern about windows on the new north elevation and privacy. The
adjacent property to the north has a parking lot where the head in parking (and headlights) will be
directly pointed towards the development. Previously this may not have been an issue because of
the space. With the addition there needs to be additional landscaping. Section 3.5.1(D) of the
Land Use Code mandates privacy considerations.
Acknowledged, revised landscape plan is showing additional shrubs at resident unit
windows.

Comment Number: 12 Comment Originated: 06/29/2012
06/27/2012: The City of Fort Collins has parking maximums, not parking minimums. That being
said, the project is allowed 56 parking spaces maximum pursuant to Section 3.2.2 of the City of
Fort Collins Land Use Code. Please remove 8 spaces and update the language on the table from
"required" to "maximum".
Acknowledged, the parking data chart has been revised in the submittal set. The
total bed count listed in the chart of the initial submittal was based upon an earlier
scheme and was not updated. The total number of beds including the proposed
construction is 129 beds. The employee count of 30 as shown in the initial submittal
was for current employee count and did not include the proposed new Clare Bridge
Crossing and expansion to the Sterling House. The total number of employees at
maximum shift is 44. The site plan will show the maximum parking stalls as
calculated. 129 beds x .33 = 42 spaces plus 44 employees x .5 = 22 spaces equals a
total parking count of 64 stalls for the entire community.

06/26/2012: What is the purpose of the Broadband easement & right of entry that exists on Lot 1.
How is this being addressed and is there any conflicts with the building addition and the
Broadband easement?
This is an easement that was dedicated in 1997 for the installation and the
maintenance of a cable system. The proposed additions will not conflict with the
utility owner’s ability to enter the site for repairs as needed.

06/26/2012: The existing drainage easement (Rec. No. 98104028) appears to be aligned for
drainage patterns from the existing site plan. Is it still needed in this specific layout based on the
new site plan? Specifically the north end that is very near the building wall. Additionally the
Proposed detention pond easement on the northeast corner appears to conflict with a building
corner.
All of the existing drainage easements will be vacated per this plat and all new
easements will be dedicated for the updated drainage improvements.

06/27/2012:
Trees to Transplant:
1.Some of the trees are near the upper threshold size to transplant successfully. The risk of
survival decreases with increased size. Consult with a tree-transplanting contractor in an onsite
inspection of the trees to verify feasibility of transplanting the 14 trees that are shown on the plans
to be moved. Provide the contractor’s evaluation and recommendation for tree spade size to be
used for each of the trees to be transplanted. Incorporate the contractor’s tree spade size
recommendations in to the tree mitigation notes or table.
Acknowledged, proposed grass seed mixes will be provided on the landscape plans at
the time of final plans are submitted with the CD’s following Planning Commission
approval.
2.Provide a tree planting detail for the transplanted trees. Typically a water basin is constructed
around large trees to facilitate irrigation. Consider adding this in the detail. The area over the ball
should be mulched.
Acknowledged, such a detail has been included on the Tree Mitigation Plan.
3.Provide an irrigation schedule (frequency) for the transplanted trees for the first growing season
or two as recommended by the transplant contractor. Also include the schedule for winter
irrigation. Indicate the recommended gallons of water per tree to be applied during each irrigation.
Acknowledged, after consulting with the potential tree transplant contractors,
proposed irrigation schedules have been added to the notes.
4.Tree number 15a is a flowering crabapple and appears too broad to move. Tree #14 is the same
species and smaller, but is shown to be removed. Consider transplanting #14 in place of #15a.
Acknowledged, this recommended substitution has been made.
5.Tree #28 is a honey locust to transplant. It is on a slope that will provide some difficulty in
transplanting. Tree 26a is a 10-inch caliper Bur oak in good condition. It also is on somewhat of a
slope. The bur oak may be a better candidate tree to transplant.
Acknowledged, this recommended substitution has been made.
6.Add these notes:
Trees proposed to be transplanted shall be moved with a tree spade of a 100 inch minimum size
or with a larger size tree spade up to 120 inch minimum size where recommended by a qualified
transplanting contractor.
An ISA Certified Arborist shall inspect all transplanted trees at a regular interval over the first two
years. Recommendations on care shall be provided to the owner.
Acknowledged, these two notes have been added.

06/27/2012: Species Selection:
1.Green ash is used as a street tree. One green ash is proposed as the north most street tree.
Green Ash is not on the City Street Tree List. Select a species from the City Street Tree list to
replace it.
Acknowledged, after consulting with Tim Buchanan, this tree species was replaced
with a Bur Oak.
2.Provide quantities and method of transplant (B&B) for each of the proposed landscape trees.
Also provide this for the shrubs using 5 gallon as the minimum shrub size.
Acknowledged, a plant list has been included on the landscape plan which lists each
proposed plant species, along with the associated quantity, size and method of
transplant (B&B, etc.).
3.Autumn Blaze Maple does not survive in the soils found in Fort Collins. The City Forester
recommends that an alternate species be selected.
Acknowledged, after consulting with Tim Buchanan, this tree species was replaced
with Texas Red Oak.
