Re: PDP Comment Response Letter
Discount Tire at North College Marketplace
Fort Collins, Colorado
Dear Mr. Holland,
Below are our responses to the PDP Review Comments letter dated October 12th, 2012.
Comment Summary:
Department: Current Planning
Contact: Jason Holland, 970-224-6126, jholland@fcgov.com
Topic: Building Elevations
Comment Number: 1 Comment Originated: 10/05/2012
10/05/2012: In tangent with comments from other staff, the transformer location needs to
be more accessible, and the electrical cabinet needs to be screened. The preferred option is
to move the cabinet to the south side of the building. The placement of a wall in front of
the building that is six feet in height is a distracting architectural element that is out of place
and is not adequate.
Response: The transformer has been moved to south of the trash enclosure. The screen wall
has been removed and landscaping has been used to screen the electrical cabinet. The
electrical cabinet is also being painted to match the face of the building.
Comment Number: 2 Comment Originated: 10/05/2012
10/05/2012: Additional wall section details need to be submitted with the plans showing
materials, offsets and depth: a detail through the herringbone brick windows, a detail
through the brick piers extending to the ground plane, and a plan detail showing the extent
of the offset for the main entrance areas.
Response: See attached sheet A.4 for required wall sections and enlarged plan of the main
entrance areas.
Comment Number: 3 Comment Originated: 10/05/2012
10/05/2012: The elevations show two graphic colors for the CMU at the top and middle of
the building, however the parapet detail specifies the same color "worsted tan". Please
clarify.
Response: Revised parapet detail to show two graphic colors for the CMU.
Comment Number: 4 Comment Originated: 10/05/2012
10/05/2012: In place of the stone cap that is proposed over the herringbone windows,
staff would like the applicant to use steel lintels to add a more distinctive look that would
make the windows a more prominent and integrated feature. The windows still look a little
"tacked on". Please refer to the example photograph that shows steel lintel caps.
Response: Per Jason Holland’s latest email, pre-cast concrete or stone cap is acceptable.
Concept elevations show pre-cast concrete cap.
Comment Number: 5 Comment Originated: 10/05/2012
10/05/2012: Please further explain the EIFS foam moulding that wraps the windows, why is
this not brick? It appears to be brick in the rendering.
Response: Replaces EIFS foam moulding with a pre-cast concrete material to match cap.
Comment Number: 6 Comment Originated: 10/05/2012
10/05/2012: Please provide a sample board of proposed exterior materials with the
re-submittal.
Response: To be submitted at a later time.
Comment Number: 7 Comment Originated: 10/05/2012
10/05/2012: Please provide more information for the CMU material. Depending on the
texture and pattern, CMU block can be a material that contributes to a building's "high
quality" appearance throughout the entire elevation, or it can look rather plain and
utilitarian. Many of the "split faced" CMU patterns provide little detail beyond basic
structural CMU. The color rendering shows a pattern that is heavily rusticated, is this the
actual intent? Please show the CMU texture material selection with the sample board, and
provide more than one texture as a design element to add detail to the building, particularly
on the south elevation.
Response: Added a combed texture CMU band in tan color to provide visual interest to the
building wall.
Comment Number: 8 Comment Originated: 10/05/2012
10/05/2012: Please explain why the CMU is being painted as opposed to integral color
throughout the building.
Response: Revised concept elevations to show integral color CMU material.

Topic: Construction Drawings
Comment Number: 2 Comment Originated: 10/09/2012
10/09/2012: The construction plan set has as Sheet C3, a site plan. A "site plan" isn't part of
the typical civil construction set and does not need to be included in this set, unless it is
perhaps intended to serve as a horizontal control plan. Otherwise, the site plan should be
removed from the civil set to reduce confusion on having a civil "site plan" and a planning
"site plan".
Response: The sheet is to serve as a horizontal control plan and the sheet name has been
changed to reflect this.
Comment Number: 3 Comment Originated: 10/09/2012
10/09/2012: The construction plan set needs to include on Sheet C2 the City of Fort Collins
General Notes, which are in Appendix E-1 of the Larimer County Area Street Standards.

Comment Number: 4 Comment Originated: 10/09/2012
10/09/2012: The construction plan set needs a "Utility Plan Approval" block on the lower
right hand corner of all the sheets. An example of this approval block is provided with the
redlines for reference.
Response: The “Utility Plan Approval” block has been added to the plan sheets.
Comment Number: 5 Comment Originated: 10/09/2012
10/09/2012: Sheet C4, the grading plan sheet of the civil set shows notes and information
that would imply that a retaining wall(s) is being included in the design submittal, however
on the plan view, no retaining wall(s) are actually labeled or depicted with top of
wall/bottom of wall information.
Response: The retaining wall has been removed.
Comment Number: 7 Comment Originated: 10/09/2012
10/09/2012: Please ensure that appropriate construction plan details/detail sheet(s) are
provided in the civil set.

Comment Number: 1 Comment Originated: 10/09/2012
10/09/2012: Please adopt one project name title to use for the project that's consistent on
all the plans for both in the title blocks and in the "title" listed in the top center of the
sheets. "Discount Tire", "Discount Tire Co. Store # Con 10001", and "Discount Tire at North
College Marketplace", could each be construed as the title of the project. It would seem
that the most appropriate title for the project would be "Discount Tire at North College
Marketplace" to help discern the project from the last Discount Tire project which was
recorded as "Discount Tire at Fossil Creek".
Response: “Discount Tire at North College Marketplace” has been added to the cover and
title block as the project name.
Topic: Site Plan
Comment Number: 6 Comment Originated: 10/09/2012
10/09/2012: The site plan appears to list the City as an owner of the property based upon
the entities listed under the owner certification. It appears that 1908 North College LLC is
the owner that should be listed on the site plan, presuming Discount Tire does not purchase
the property from the underlying developer.
Response: The owner has been changed to Halle Properties, LLC.

10/09/2012: The sanitary sewer service must connect to the 8-inch sewer in the
north/south drive to the east of the site. The existing 6-inch sewer to which the service is
currently shown connecting will likely be abandoned at such time that the properties to the
south redevelop. The as-built drawings for the North College Marketplace show that a
4-inch service was extended into the site approximately 159 feet (copy of plan attached to
redlined overall utility plan sheet).
Response: Plans have been revised to connect to the 4” service. Survey only shows the
service as being stubbed 28-feet into the site, not 159 feet as the as-builts show. We are
showing worst case scenario and connecting to the stub as if it is only 28-feet into the site.
Comment Number: 2 Comment Originated: 10/09/2012

10/04/2012: Please provide elevation of the screening wall.
Site, landscaping and elevation plans should include locations of mechanical/utility
equipment (meters, vents, flues, conduits, RTU's, transformer...) with notes on how such
equipment will be screened.
It appears that the transformer is located on the west side of the trash enclosures. This will
also need to be inside an enclosure made of materials matching the main exterior building.
Is it possible for the electrical cabinet and gas meters be placed on the south wall? The
screen wall that is required in the proposed location blocks visibility of the limited active
store frontage along N College Ave.
Can both employee entrances along N college be articulated with the same canopy?
Response: The transformer was relocated to south of the trash enclosure. The screen wall
was removed and replaced with landscaping to screen the electrical cabinet. The steel
canopy was added to both employee entrances along North College.

10/04/2012: The applicant has requested that the code requirement for walk-in access to
the trash/recycling enclosure be "waived". At this time this requirement has not been
modified and therefore the enclosure is still required to be designed with walk-in access
without having to open a main-service gate on both enclosures.
Response: Walk-in access has been added.
