Topic: General
Comment Number: 1 Comment Originated: 02/19/2012
02/19/2012: Building Two contains two distinct uses, dwelling units and structured parking.
Therefore, it is a mixed-use building and would be subject to the build-to line requirements per
Section 3.5.3 rather than the residential setback requirements of Section 3.5.2. The same
could be said for Building One as it contains the clubhouse and amenities in addition to
dwelling units. Perhaps the leasing office could be added in order to strengthen the mix.
Therefore, as with Building Two, Building One is subject to the build-to line and not the setback
line. Building Three, however, appears to contain dwelling units only and, therefore, would be
subject to the setback standards and the proposed Modification to Section 3.5.2.
Comment Number: 2 Comment Originated: 02/19/2012
02/19/2012: Regarding the Request for Modification for Building Three to Section 3.5.2, it
appears that the most valid justification is the equal-to-or-better-than criterion of Section 2.8.2(H)
(1). In your analysis, under justification number four, regarding the invisible right-of-way line,
this justification should be moved under the aforementioned criterion.
Comment Number: 3 Comment Originated: 02/19/2012
02/19/2012: On the site plan, a connection to the north is indicated at the north terminus of the
access drive to the parking structure. This connnection is laudable. Could you please provide
information as to what this connection ties into on the Sunstone side of the property line.

02/19/2012: On the landscape plan, please label the "Enhanced Transit Stop Pull-in."
Comment Number: 6 Comment Originated: 02/19/2012
02/19/2012: On the architectural elevations, in order to match the project narrative with the
character elevations, please provide a cornice detail, with dimensions.
Comment Number: 7 Comment Originated: 02/19/2012
02/19/2012: On the architectural elevations, it is unclear as to the exterior material for the ground
floor elevation for Building Two. Is this material to be different from stone?
Comment Number: 8 Comment Originated: 02/19/2012
02/19/2012: On the architectural elevations, please indicate the depth of the balconies. Staff
would be concerned if these balconies were merely of the "Juliet" variety.
Comment Number: 9 Comment Originated: 02/19/2012
02/19/2012: Staff is concerned about the present depiction of the north character elevation of
the parking structure. In the middle, there is a considerable gap in the deployment of
masonry. The use of the masonry materials should be consistent across the entire north
elevation. And, there appears to be no cornice treatment. Please note that Section 3.5.3(D)(6)
requires the structure to have a recognizable top.
Comment Number: 10 Comment Originated: 02/19/2012
02/19/2012: Based on the Lighting Plan, there appears to be no lighting on the top deck of the
parking structure, unless the top deck is covered. If covered, then there are no lighting issues.
If uncovered, however, the lighting details need to be provided. Such lighting must be
strategically located to avoid light spillover to the north. House-side shields may be needed.
Comment Number: 11 Comment Originated: 02/19/2012
02/19/2012: On the Lighting Plan, on sheet 7 of 10, please provide a schedule for the
specifications of the proposed fixtures. Also, please note that the photometric plan must be
calibrated such that the light loss factor is 1.00. If not done so already, this may require
re-submitting the photometric so that it is properly calibrated.

Topic: Construction Drawings
Comment Number: 5 Comment Originated: 02/15/2012
03/14/2012: This comment is considered unresolved with the understanding that detail review
and comment is intended for after a hearing for the project.
02/15/2012: The variance requests regarding the street grade, cross slope, and pipe cover
concerns are undergoing evaluation at this time and a response will be provided separately.
Please note however that the last review for the previous iteration of the project had brought up
the potential of using concrete streets as an option to help mitigate some of these concerns
(including on Plum Street itself) and may need to be explored with this project.
It is kindly requested that a meeting be scheduled (perhaps the week of December 17th) in order to
further discuss these final design items.
Comment Number: 6 Comment Originated: 02/15/2012
03/14/2012: As perhaps a comment for after a public hearing, the flowline information for Plum
Street indicates that the flowline grade across Bluebell Street is not meeting the minimum .5%
flowline grade. We'll want to look at options that lessen flowline grades on one or both sides of
Bluebell Street in order to have the flowline grade on across Bluebell Street be at or above
.5%. In our view the grade across Bluebell meeting standards is more critical than outside of
the intersection where vehicular traffic does not cross the flowline.
02/15/2012: A profile of the north flowline of Plum Street should be provided to ascertain
flowline grade and general drainage for the area along Plum Street. It was identified in the
previous iteration that concerns regarding drainage exist, including the grade across Bluebell
Street which appears to be at about .3% across the intersection. Intersection detail spot
elevations should also be provided for this analysis on Plum with Aster and Bluebell.
Further design modifications have been made pursuant to discussions with Engineering Staff in
November of 2012. Perhaps this can be added to the meeting referenced in the response to Comment
Number: 5.
Comment Number: 9 Comment Originated: 02/15/2012
03/14/2012: I'll defer to Transfort on the acceptability of the latest design.
02/15/2012: The bus bay design does not meet the standard prescribed in detail 711 of
LCUASS. The width of the bus bay from the face of curb to the flowline of Plum Street is
required per this standard to be 11 feet when 9 feet appears to be provided. Additionally, the
transition lengths leading in and out from the through movement of Plum Street is required to be
60 feet but are in effect 24 feet here. This item should be documented in a variance request; if
this design is agreed to by Transit, then I suspect the modified design would be viewed
favorably. (I noticed Transfort's comments in the system, it appear they will require some
changes to the transition lengths, I'm still pending a response from them on the bus bay width).
It is our understanding that Transfort accepts the proposed transit stop design.
Comment Number: 11 Comment Originated: 03/14/2012
03/14/2012: Please provide and define the western boundary of City Park Avenue on the
construction plan sheets.
The requested information has been added to the construction plans.
Comment Number: 12 Comment Originated: 03/14/2012
03/14/2012: With the apparent proposal to have the bus pull out in concrete and with a cross
slope along Plum directed towards the centerline, please provide cross section information at
time of final for its design, showing for instance whether a cross pan type cross section is
maintained. In addition please provide a concrete jointing pattern.
The requested information has been added to the construction plans.
Topic: General
Comment Number: 7 Comment Originated: 02/15/2012
03/14/2012: Carried over for reference.
02/15/2012: Encroachment permits for the private utility lines that cross right-of-way would
ultimately need to be issued from Engineering Inspection.
Acknowledged. The current expectation is to provide the encroachment permit application(s)
concurrent with the Final Plan mylars.
Comment Number: 8 Comment Originated: 02/15/2012
03/14/2012: Discussion on Thursday concluded that an access ramp across Plum Street at
Aster Street is no longer needed. The access ramp crossing at Bluebell Street will suffice
given the close proximity between the two streets and additionally, it appears constructing a
required receiving ramp on the south side of Plum Street could potentially be difficult with
existing constraints (trees and inlet).
02/15/2012: With the reconstruction of Aster Street, an access ramp should be provided facing
south that allows for promoting the crossing of Plum Street. This appears to have been
provided in the previous application submittal.
Acknowledged.
Comment Number: 15 Comment Originated: 03/14/2012
03/14/2012: In checking with Joe Olson, City Traffic Engineer, the striped crosswalk across
Plum Street at Bluebell Street should not be installed with the project as proposed. This may
be installed in the future by the City upon understanding of how pedestrian traffic functions in the
area.
Acknowledged.
Comment Number: 16 Comment Originated: 03/15/2012
03/15/2012: A receiving access ramp on the south side of Plum Street at the Bluebell Street
intersection needs to be provided and indicated on the drawings prior to a public hearing. This
access ramp will need to meet City/ADA requirements.
See Intersection Detail 4 on Sheet C504.
Topic: Plat
Comment Number: 13 Comment Originated: 03/14/2012
03/14/2012: The "private drainage easements" delineated throughout the plat will need to
presumably be called out in the certificate of dedication as an exception to the "Easements"
that the Owner is conveying to the City. Some description of the "private drainage easements"
identifying the grantee of the easement and responsibilities pertaining to the easement should
also be indicated.
The Applicant would like to further discuss this item with the appropriate City departments to ensure
there are no future issues with regards to title, financing, or underwriting.
Comment Number: 14 Comment Originated: 03/14/2012
03/14/2012: I've confirmed with the City Attorney's Office that a Transit Easement should be
provided on the plat for the area identified as a transit stop as it provides needed specificity on
the City's ability for placement of a transit stop which is less clear in a typical "access
easement" designation.
A Transit Easement has been added to the Plat.

Forestry Comments
3-19-12
The following comments are offered.
1. Swedish Columnar Aspen are used along the north wall. Forestry had discussed the use of
this tree with the applicant. The Quantity proposed is 34, which is higher than the 15% species
diversity for a project with this many trees. Forestry has reviewed other upright columnar trees
that may work in this area. The following two could possibly be considered for this area, and
could generally have better adaptability to growing in a shade location.
Corinthian Linden Tilia cordata ‘Corinthian’ Compact pyramid formal shape created by uniform
spacing of limbs around straight central leader, dense branching, lustrous dark green leaves,
leaves smaller, thicker and more lustrous than species, Height 45’ by width 15’. (Dirr, Manual of
Woody Landscape Plants)
Crimson Sentry Norway Maple Narrow upright habit. Red-purple summer foliage proceeded
by greenish-yellow flowers in early spring. Prefers well-drained soils and regular moisture.
Makes a colorful accent for small gardens. Height 30’-35’ Width 12’-15’ (Descriptive Guide, Fort
Collins Wholesale Nursery 5th edition)
The planting plan has been updated to add the suggested trees and is now in compliance with the 15% species
diversity.
2. Aerial evaluation by a qualified and certified arborist would determine if the trees to retain
have any structural limitations at this stage of the project.
Acknowledged.
3. Will the street trees along City park Drive and Blue Bell street have tree grates? If so what is
the size of the sidewalk cut out?
Yes, tree grates are proposed. The open area for the trees is approximately 4’-6” long by 4’-6” wide.

Forestry Comments
2-15-12
These Forestry comments are offered:
1. The applicant should contact the City Forester for a second walk through for a review of the
existing trees now shown to be retained. This review could determine if there will be any
construction impacts that would limit proposed tree retention or if any tree qualities need further
review.
2. Tree condition information reviewed in the first walk through can be added to the inventory
and mitigation table.
3. Tree Selection Choices:
a. Tower Popular unfortunately is prone to many insect and diseases. This vulnerability has
resulted in a rating of do not plant the Front Range Recommended Tree List. Swedish
Columnar Aspen could be a good substitution for the Tower Popular.
b. Lanceleaf Cotton woods are used along the north perimeter in the 10 foot bed by rather high
buildings. Lanceleaf cottonwood has a large mature size and broader mature canopy. In this
smaller area near the buildings Crimson spire Oak could be a good choice. Its tight pyramidal
form could function in this area.
c. European Fastigiate Hornbeam has a good shape for the north perimeter bed. Some
designers prefer to use smaller quantities in anticipation of the occasional freeze damage that
may occur. Since conifer trees are not used in the north perimeter bed perhaps one of the
upright cultivars of Rocky Mountain Juniper could be considered in this area area.
d. In the narrow parkway along Bluebell the more upright growing Ivory Silk Tree Lilac would
require less pruning than the broader Thornless Cockspur Hawthorn. This change is preferred
by Forestry.
c. If incorporating a red flowering crabapple with a narrower crown form is to be considered in
certain areas, particularly close to buildings, to contrast with the Spring Snow Crabs than Red
Barron or Thunderchild are cultivars to consider.
4. Placing trees along the north perimeter as far away from the buildings as possible will help
reduce pruning and other conflicts. Explore planting tree close to the property line to help
provide separation.
5. Please add the following landscape note:
• The soil in all landscape areas, including parkways and medians, shall be thoroughly
loosened to a depth of not less than eight (8) inches and soil amendment shall be thoroughly
incorporated into the soil of all landscape areas to a depth of at least six (6) inches by tilling,
discing or other suitable method, at a rate of at least three (3) cubic yards of soil amendment
per one thousand (1,000) square feet of landscape area.

02/14/2012: The planters which have 2 feet of quantity detention depth are draining through the
media which may burden the media and increase clogging. The extra detention depth should
have its own outlet works to avoid draining through the media.

detention planters, and the parking garage detention system.
While many additional drainage design details have been worked through and provided with this submittal, it is
expected that further discussions and coordination will be necessary prior to issuing mylars.
Comment Number: 5 Comment Originated: 02/16/2012
02/16/2012: Drainage easements are required for the planter detention areas. The detention
area in the parking garage will be discussed in the development agreement. The City is still
deciding what the best options are for securing perpetual compliance for the garage detention.
We welcome any suggestions from the applicant.
Drainage easements will be platted for the permeable paver areas, which have replaced the stormwater
planters as an alternative LID method of providing detention storage. Perhaps a plat note and the DA
are sufficient instruments to ensure perpetual compliance with the stormwater storage/treatment
component within the parking garage.

03/12/2012: From the elevation you can't even see where this "Enhanced Transit Stop" is
located, which makes me concerned about bus operators knowing that people are waiting.
Please consider making this enhanced stop more prominant. The double entry way definitely
doesn't indicate that this is a public use area. Is there a railing separating the steps next to the
stop bench?
02/07/2012: The bench is hidden from bus operators by the building. Please consider
modifying the structure to allow for a line of site for bus operators and those waiting for the bus.
From discussions with Emma the middle column was removed which eliminates the double entry
mentioned above. In addition, a bus stop sign has been added to the architectural column located at the
bus stop to define the area.

2/13/2012 With 60 or more trees only 15% of total can be one specie.
3/12/2012 Tim Buchanan's (City Forester) has recommended to use the Swedish Columnar
Aspen along the north side of the development being and ideal location for this speice.
Therefore it is determined that though it exceeds the only 15% of one speice standard, it is
deemed to be equally well to the standard.
Acknowledged.
