Comment Summary:
Department: Current Planning
Contact: Lindsay Ex, 970-224-6143, lex@fcgov.com
Topic: Building Elevations
Comment Number: 1 Comment Originated: 07/30/2012
07/30/2012: Based on a review of the renderings, staff has the following architecture-related
comments:
1. With the cement lap siding on the fourth floor, can this be made a darker color, e.g., a desert
tan or darker to blend in better with the Poudre River? (Section 3.4.1(I)(1)
RWE Response: Color samples will be provided.
2. Materials - staff would like to see the brick material used on the first three floors. The belly
bands could then be made of a rowlock course of the same brick material two levels deep to
add more continuinity to the building. These materials would meet Section 4.17(D)(3)(e) and
4.17(D)(4)(b).
RWE Response: As discussed, the siding will remain.
3. Lintels - if brick were used on the first three floors, then the lintels on the project could be
simplified. For example, the lintels on the 3rd floor could use the same stone as on the first
two floors. The lintels on the second floor also do not need to "dip down"; in other words, a
straight horizontal lintel above the second floor windows would simplify the project's
architecture.
RWE Response: The lintels have been modified and are reflected on the revised elevation sheets.
4. Is there a way to align the windows on the fourth floor with the windows on the first three
floors?
RWE Response: As discussed, this is not possible.
05/16/2012: Prior to Hearing: Please provide renderings prior to hearing illustrating the
buildings, including the materials and their colors. The images provided for the Building Height
Review may be sufficient for this requirement. Note that building colors and materials should
reflect both the historic neighborhood characteristics and the Poudre River, as per the PDR
comments.

Topic: Building Elevations
Comment Number: 2 Comment Originated: 07/30/2012
07/30/2012: We've discussed the use of brown or another muted color for the roof to help
meet Section 3.4.1(I)(1) of the Land Use Code. Another option is a rusted, patina roof. Please
submit revised elevations to reflect that.
RWE Response: Color samples will be provided.
Comment Number: 3 Comment Originated: 07/30/2012
07/30/2012: Is there a way to make the roof flat instead of pitched the way it is? All staff
departments agree this would be in keeping with the Historic District and the Poudre River
more than the current roof design.
RWE Response: As discussed, this would be cost prohibitive
Comment Number: 4 Comment Originated: 07/30/2012
07/30/2012: Depending on the outcome of the discussion on color and pitch of the roof, is
there adapt the arcade to match these features e.g., changing the color, etc.?
RWE Response: The arcade roof will be the same color and pitch of the building roof.
Topic: General
Comment Number: 5 Comment Originated: 07/30/2012
07/30/2012: Did not see the note below on the landscape plan or the grading plan (sheet
C400). Can the NHBZ be extended into the detention area? Additional screening on the
northeast side of the detention pond is required, either in the form of trees (preferred) or
shrubs. Consider removing the thinleaf alder trees and placing hackberry or boxelder in this
area. Make sure there is a 10' clearance between the outlet and the trees.
NE Response: The NHBZ has been revised to encompass the proposed detention pond and is shown on
grading plan sheet C400.
TBG Response: The NHBZ has been revised to encompass the proposed detention pond and is shown on
both the site and landscape plan. The Thinleaf Alder trees have been changed to Hackberry trees.
05/14/2012: Please also label the Natural Habitat Buffer Zone on the site, landscape, and utility
plans. Add the following note to the site, landscape and utility plans, "Please see Section 3.4.1
of the Land Use Code for allowable uses within the Natural Habitat Buffer Zone." Finally, please
call out the NHBZ in the Gross Acreage calculations as a separate area.
Comment Number: 9 Comment Originated: 08/06/2012
08/06/2012: The site plan shows two bike racks, but only one is noted in the table. Can you
please update the table with the most accurate count of bike spaces?
TBG Response: There will be one bike rack containing space for 6 bikes.
Topic: Landscape Plans
Comment Number: 8 Comment Originated: 08/06/2012
08/06/2012: There should be a note on the landscape plan about the honey locust trees on the
SW corner of the parcel. I believe they were to be removed due to health and safety concerns.
Please confirm with the City Forester.
TBG Response: A note has been added to the landscape plan regarding the removal of these two trees. It
should be noted that the trees need to be removed because of the re-grading of the site and the alley
improvements.

07/30/2012: Need a revised ECS to evaluate this comment.
TBG Response: A revised ECS was submitted.
05/14/2012: ECS - Conflict with the ECS, which suggests not regrading the entire site, with the
site's grades, this is prohibitive, but the ECS should be updated to reflect the current proposal.
For example, what management strategies are suggested to address the proposed conversion
of the site from a non native grass dominated area to a native grass/shrub/cottonwood
landscape? In addition, as the stormwater detention area is within the NHBZ, please have the
ECS address this as well.
Comment Number: 2 Comment Originated: 08/06/2012
08/06/2012: the trees along the Poudre River shall be surveyed prior to any construction to
“confirm the presence or absence of raptor nesting activity.” Note that if an active nest is
discovered, the buffer zone setbacks in Section 3.4.1 apply.
TBG Response: So noted. We are assuming this task can be performed by Cedar Creek?

Previous concerns regarding architectural compatibility with the adjacent Old Town Historic
District have been largely addressed with incorporating red brick, decorative lintels, and arch
details. However, incorporation of Current Planning's comments regarding architectural details
will be a further nod to the historic character of Old Town: "1. With the cement lap siding on the
fourth floor, can this be made a darker color, e.g., a desert tan or darker to blend in better with
the Poudre River? (Section 3.4.1(I)(1) 2. Materials - staff would like to see the brick material
used on the first three floors. The belly bands could then be made of a rowlock course of the
same brick material two levels deep to add more continuinity to the building. These materials
would meet Section 4.17(D)(3)(e) and 4.17(D)(4)(b). 3. Lintels - if brick were used on the first
three floors, then the lintels on the project could be simplified. For example, the linents on the
3rd floor could use the same stone as on the first two floors. The lintels on the second floor
also do not need to "dip down"; in other words, a straight horizontal lintel above the second
floor windows would simplify the project's architecture. 4. Is there a way to align the windows on
the fourth floor with the windows on the first three floors?

Concerns regarding height and massing compatibility of a four-story building adjacent to single
family homes that have been determined eligible for the national, state, and local registers of
historic properties, the applicant is addressing these concerns by placing restrictions on the
parcels of land fronting Linden Street, to act as somewhat of a buffer and help in maintaining
both the streetscape and historic character of Linden Street. These parcels will be restricted to
ensure that they are one to two stories, and developed in character with the adjacent historic
buildings in size, scale, materials, and design, to be determined by staff and the Landmark
Preservation Commission. The restriction will be approved by the City's Historic Preservation
Planner and City Attorney's Office and will be documented on the plat prior to recording. Staff
will arrange a meeting with applicant to find best way to record this on the plat.
RWE Response: We are working with staff to determine the language to be placed on the plat.

Comment Number: 7 Comment Originated: 07/31/2012
07/31/2012: There needs to be some sort of sediment protection for the outlet structure on the
WQ basin until the site has been stabilized. WQ basins are not designed to take sediment
loads from a constructions site. If there is the plan to use the basin as a sediment basin before
it has changed over to a WQ basin, a description of that process should be discussed in the
report and a detail of a sediment basin should be fallowed. A rock pile and/ or wattles are
decent choices, but there needs to be some description of the protection.
NE Response: A sediment trap has been added as shown on sheet C600.

07/27/2012: Storm Sewer Rundown comments:
1. Provide calculations in English units.
Flywater Response: Calculations will be provided in English units.
2. Design the riprap rundown for culvert outlet flows per the City of Fort Collins Stormwater
Criteria Manual. There is no reference provided for the current riprap design procedure.
Flywater Response: Riprap sizing was re-calculated using the procedure outlined in the City of Fort
Collins Stormwater Criteria Manual. This procedure was appropriated from the UDFC methods. See
provided rundown calculations.
3. Provide documentation using standard accepted riprap design procedures that the riprap is
designed to withstand the forces of the 100-year event in the Cache la Poudre River.
Flywater Response: Existing riprap on-site appears to be D50=1.5’, this is being supplemented with new
riprap having D50= 1.5’. It is assumed that the existing riprap, which was installed with the Linden Street
Bridge is adequate to withstand the 100-yr event. Since the additional riprap will be of equal size or larger
than the existing, it is assumed that this will withstand the 100-yr event as well. Notes have been added to
the plan set to this effect.
4. Correct several spelling errors on Sheet 1 of 2.
Flywater Response: Spelling errors have been corrected.
5. Ensure that the color of the new riprap blends seamlessly with the color of the existing
riprap.
Flywater Response: A note has been added to the drawings specifying that riprap color should match
existing material.
6. It is unclear whether or not the existing riprap is being re-used. Please specify if the existing
riprap is being re-used or replaced.
Flywater Response: Using City of Fort Collins/UDFCD methodology the recommended riprap size is
D50=1.5’. The majority of the existing riprap appears to be D50=1.5’. Therefore, the intent is to reuse the
existing riprap as well as provide new riprap in order to obtain the proper depth.
7. Section A-A on Sheet 2 shows a 4-foot top width dimension. What does this dimension
reference?
Flywater Response: The 4-foot dimension indicates the width of the flared end section. The overall width
of the riprap rundown will extend 2-feet on either side of the end section, bringing the total width of the
riprap area to 8-feet. Notes have been added to the plans for clarification.
8. Section A-A on Sheet 2 shows removing existing geo-fabric and replacing existing
geo-fabric 1.5-feet below existing grade. Please revise the lower callout to specify new, not
existing geo fabric.
Flywater Response: Note has been revised to specify “new” geotextile.
9. Provide calculations and specifications on the new geo fabric.
Flywater Response: Notes and specifications have been added to the plans calling for Drainage Class A or
equivalent geotextile as specified in CDOT Construction Specifications. See provided rundown
calculations.
10. Provide a detail for the proposed cut off wall. Design the cutoff wall per the City of Fort
Collins Stormwater Criteria Manual.
Flywater Response: A detail for the concrete cutoff wall has been added to the drawings. Depth of the
cutoff wall was designed per City of Fort Collins (UDFCD) drainage criteria. See provided rundown
calculations.
11. Show existing trees on the plan in relation to the proposed riprap mat area.
Flywater Response: Existing trees have been included on the drawings.
12. Explain the grid pattern on the plan in the riprap replacement area.
Flywater Response: Longitudinal lines on the plan view of the riprap area indicate the approximate
centerline, edges of flared end section (dashed), and extents of riprap to be placed. Notes have been
added to the drawings for clarification.
13. Provide notes and/or details on how the transitions will occur between the existing and
proposed riprap areas and the overlaps of the geo fabrics.
Flywater Response: Notes and standard details have been added showing overlapping of geotextile and
riprap interface.

07/30/2012: A 5 year warranty period will be required for the proposed drainage outfall to
ensure the riprap rundown functions per the design. Add notes to the site and grading plans.
NE Response: As previously discussed the 5 year warranty was being requested if the existing riprap
rundown was going to be used with no improvements. Now that the existing rundown is being replaced
and improved the 5 year warranty is no longer valid.

07/25/2012: Continue previous comment but now only one tree to move, a Linden Greenspire.
TBG Response: The Linden has been moved to the north as requested.
05/19/2012: Please locate both Honey Locust trees at the alley access 3-4 feet further north
than shown on sheet LS2. Reviewing the sight triangle here provides the possibility that the
trunk could be in the line of sight of someone attempting to pull out into the alley. Granted its
just one tree trunk but I would like to give cyclists and the senior residents as much
unobstructed visibility of each other in that area as possible.

07/24/2012: As discussed prior to hearing, a bus stop has been located just north of the
driveway proposed with this project. To meet Transfort's ADA requirements for a new bus stop
we need to be able to pull a bus up to the curb for the ramp to meet slope maximums, this
means the 3 parking spaces will need to be removed on Linden. The alternative would be to
move the stop to the north end of the site and the bus would stop on the bridge, which is not
our preferred option. If that is your preference we will need to discuss where exactly the stop
can go to make this work.
TBG Response: We believe this issue has been resolved by staff and the parking spaces can go away.
An easement has been added to the construction drawings and plat for the Transfort bus pad.

07/16/2012: Sheet A8.2 has details for a monument sign since no signs nor their locations are
approved through the PDP/FDP review process this needs to be removed.
Signs and their locations are approved through a separate sign permit.
TBG Response: Sheet A8.2 has been revised to remove the monument sign.

07/16/2012: Sheet A8.2 Has the details of the trash/recycling enclosure though the site plan
does indicate the the pedestrian access the details on this sheet do not. Please adjust these
details to match the pedestrian access on that is identified on the site plan.
Also at six feet in height and over the trash/recycling and utility screening will need separate
building permits.
RWE Response: Sheet A8.2 has been revised to show an opening for pedestrian access.
