Topic: General
Comment # 1- RESPONSE : Acknowledged.
Comment # 2- RESPONSE : A meeting was conducted on September 25, 2012, with Courtney,
Mike Gebo, PFA, and Zoning, where a list of appropriate uses were discussed and agreed upon.
Comment # 4- RESPONSE : See revised site data sheet (1 of 6)
Comment # 5- RESPONSE : Yes.
Comment # 6- RESPONSE : Some of the uses will be designated as only allowed through a minor
amendment process where parking impacts for those uses can be reviewed on a case by case
basis.
Comment # 7- RESPONSE : Loading of large trucks is intended to be infrequent. The uses
approved only through minor amendment will include that would potentially have the most
truck impacts, and can therefore be reviewed on a case by case basis.
Comment # 8- RESPONSE : The units are intended to be live/work units where the same
occupant runs the business space and occupies the residential space.
Comment #9- RESPONSE : We have provided a dumpster enclosure with two 4-yard dumpsters,
one for trash, and one for recycling. We have also provided a fenced area next to the loading
dock for pallet storage.

buildings, the fenced pallet enclosure, and shrubs.

Department: Stormwater
Contact: Wes Lamarque
Topic: General
Comment # 1- RESPONSE : The outfall location is within the City of Fort Collins right of way, but
we understand that it drains to the Natural Area. We have contacted Daylan Figgs in Natural
Resources and sent him the plan so that he can review and approve the design location.
Comment # 4- RESPONSE : Noted, thank you.
Comment # 6- RESPONSE : Noted, thank you.

Comment # 8- RESPONSE : Noted, thank you.
Comment # 11- RESPONSE : We have added more information to the drainage plans and report
to document the flows that will not make it to the detention pond. The proposed 100 year
flows exiting the site undetained are less than the 100 year storm for the existing site. The
proposed 2 year flows exiting the site undetained are more than 2 year storm for the existing
site. The amount of flow in the 2 year storm is relatively small so we would either propose
allowing this additional flow or providing some additional BMP’s such as a rain garden, sand
filter, etc during final design.
Comment # 12- RESPONSE : Noted, thank you.

Topic: Construction Drawings
Comment # 4- RESPONSE : Noted, thank you.
Comment # 6- RESPONSE : All water valves should be shown now. It is unclear what size the
new fire lines will be. If they are 4” lines on the larger buildings, then water valves will be shown
5
on those lines. If they are only 2” lines, they will get a curb stop. We would like to work out
those sizes in final design.
Comment # 14- RESPONSE : Utility Coordination meeting was on September 19th and since that
time we have worked with the individual service providers to meet there needs. In addition, the
drive lane widened out from 26’ to 30’ which allowed for more room for all of the utilities.
Comment # 15- RESPONSE : Water main has been extended to the south. A message was left
with Ron Gonzales to discuss fire hydrant spacing, but we have not heard back from him yet.
We anticipate that with the addition of the fire sprinkler systems to each of the units, the fire
hydrant spacing is adequate.
Comment # 16- RESPONSE : Fire lines have been added. As noted in Comment #6, we would like
to wait until Final Design to add the pipe sizes.
