Topic: Building Elevations
Comment Number: 1 Comment Originated: 11/14/2012
01/23/2013: We did not see an exhibit comparing the height of the church in relation to other
tall structures such as Fort Collins High School, Key Bank ect. We will need to see that exhibit
for our assessment.
Response: A Building Height Comparative Analysis Graphic has been provided with this resubmittal. The
analysis compares the proposed LDS Temple height with other familiar architectural landmarks throughout
Fort Collins.
11/14/2012: It would appear as though to the top of the "painted fiberglass statute" is about 112
feet. That seems quite high given the context of the surrounding neighborhoods as it relates to
compatibility with the surrounding land uses. Section 3.5.1(G)(4) speaks to compatibility and
neighborhood scale in this manner. It may be difficult for staff to find compliance with Section
3.5.1 as proposed as it appears out of scale with the neighborhood and community. At the next
round of review, Staff suggest providing exhibits comparing the height of the proposed
structure with other tall structures in the community (the Key Bank building, for example).

Comment Number: 3 Comment Originated: 01/25/2013
01/25/2013: The code requires a 4 foot fence in section 3.8.11. The plans will need to be
revised or a modification requested. The staff report for this project is due to the board by Feb.
6th. As such, I will need the revision or modification request by Feb. 1st in order to have time
to evaluate and write the staff report.
As a friendly suggestion, modification requests should be submitted in the following format:
1. Standard at Issue: state the code section (text citation) you are requesting the modification
for.
2. Describe your modification request.
3. State a justification for the modification request based on the criteria outlined in Section 2.8.2
of the LUC and then go into the reasoning behind that selected criteria.
Response: A revised Security Analysis Report has been prepared by the LDS Churches Security
Department and is provided with this resubmittal. Accompanying this report is an “Alternative Compliance
Request” based on the requirements outlined in Section 2.8.2 and 3.8.11 (C)(2) of the City’s LUC and as
based on a demonstrated unique security need.

Topic: Lighting Plan
Comment Number: 1 Comment Originated: 11/28/2012
01/23/2013: Staff is having difficulty with the submitted lighting exhibits and photometric plan.
There are concerns with moving forward to hearing with the lighting as proposed.
11/28/2012: Please provide a lighting detail sheet for the proposed illumination of Angel
Moroni in addition to your 3.2.4 alternative compliance submittal. The intent of this Section is to
prohibit uplighting and to prevent an adverse effect on adjacent properties or the surrounding
neighborhoods. While uplighting is prohibited, the City of Fort Collins Land Use Code allows for
alternative compliance. By providing additional lighting detail, the extent to which the proposed
lighting of the steeple/Angel Moroni and the affects of the lighting will be evaluated while
considering the light source, level of illumination, hours of illumination and need for illumination
in relation to the potential negative impacts of the lighting on adjacent property owners and/or
the neighborhood.
Staff has compared the proposed uplighting with that of a City of Fort Collins Street Light and
suggests that the proposed uplighting be reduced so that the illumination levels are generally
equivalent. As currently proposed, the watts (26 x 4) is 104 where as one City street light is only
70 Watts. The lumens proposed are 8000 (2000 x 4) where as a City street light is 6300. The
Kelvins of the proposed lamp are 3000 and a City Street light is closer to 2500. In terms of
reflectivity, asphalt is not reflective at all where as the gold painted Angel Moroni is highly
reflective.
In so much, suggests a lower watt, and possibly a high-pressure sodium lamp due to its warm
appearance when looking to meet alternative compliance.
On the lighting plan update, please call out which fixture and the quantity will be used to light
the Angel Moroni.
This issue should be addressed prior to scheduling the Planning and Zoning Board hearing.
Response: A phone conference was held on January 29, 2013 with the City (Ted Shepard & Courtney
Levingston) and the LDS Temples Electrical Engineer, Architect, Planner and Client Rep. to discus issues
related to the Steeple lighting. After the discussion the City staff seemed satisfied with our Design Teams
response to the Steeple Lighting Analysis which was prepared with the previous resubmittal and approach
being proposed to the Steeple and Angle Moroni lighting. Also contained in this resubmittal is a memo
stating the Temple’s hours of operations and the hours of Site, Building and Steeple/Statue illumination.

Comment Number: 19 Comment Originated: 01/23/2013
01/23/2013: There is one cross-slope on the west side of Timberline Road that exceeds the
4% maximum standard and would need to be adjusted with the final plan review. With the west
side of Timberline Road south of Majestic Drive not having curb and gutter, the information
provided at this time would represent that the west side of Timberline Road south of Majestic
Drive constitutes "interim" only. This is acceptable for Engineering's requirements, but if the
applicant wanted to represent that the west side of Timberline Road south of Majestic
constituted ultimate improvements, additional information such as cross sections with curb and
gutter on the west side need to be included and demonstrate that the "finished" section would
tie into the proposed cross-sections without removal of proposed pavement. Is it the intention
to provide cross-slopes with curb and gutter on the west side at time of final along with flowline
profiles on the west side? Please note that the offsite design for grade and groundlines
includes flowline grades at time of final plan submittal.
Response: The Cross Sections shown in our previous resubmittal were incorrect in regards to the 4%
cross slopes. The reconstruction of Timberline Road will have 2% Cross Slopes throughout. Plans will be
revised at time of Final Submittal.
Comment Number: 20 Comment Originated: 01/23/2013
01/23/2013: With the understanding that the slopes not achieving 4:1 along Timberline Road are
not within City limits, along with input from Larimer County on their position, combined with the
report provided by the geotech, this item is considered resolved from City Engineering. Was
the County routed the report for their review?
Response: The County Engineer has been copied on the revised Preliminary PICP’s and has received a
copy of the copy of the Geotechnical Engineers letter related to stabilizing proposed slopes of greater than
4:1 within the County ROW.

Comment Number: 7 Comment Originated: 11/19/2012
01/23/2013: The submitted variance request had input from Ward Stanford disagreeing with the
information provided in the request that the southbound right turn lane can be eliminated in the
"finished" condition of Timberline. The request should be revised to address Ward's concern.
11/19/2012: LCUASS 16.6.4 requires that a street crossing of greater than 56 feet requires the
construction of pedestrian refuge. This standard would require pedestrian refuge on Majestic
Drive at the Timberline Road intersection as well as Timberline Road at both the Trilby Road
and Majestic Drive intersections. In discussion with City transportation staff we've interpreted
that the median in Majestic Drive accomplishes the intent of the requirement even though the
median is not physically extended into the pedestrian crossing area. The lack of pedestrian
refuge island(s) on Timberline Road at both Trilby Road and Majestic Drive is left as an
unaddressed issue. City transportation staff can see the potential support for a variance for the
lack of a pedestrian refuge island on Timberline at Trilby due to the signalized intersection
allowing the timing of pedestrians to cross the intersection. For Timberline Road at Majestic
Drive the unsignalized nature of the intersection leaves potential support of a variance request
less clear. The present roadway design indicates that there is additional right-of-way behind the
proposed sidewalk such that the excess right-of-way could be utilized to provide pedestrian
refuge. The status on potential pedestrian refuge will need to be addressed prior to hearing.
Response: A Revised Variance Request has been provided with this resubmittal.

01/23/2013: The work occurring on Lot 3 of the Lestikow M.R.D., while under the same
ownership as the development plan, is technically outside of the boundary of the PDP and plat
for the project and is then considered as offsite improvements. Offsite easements will need to
be provided prior to approval of the final plan for the project. The plans identify a topsoil
stockpile area outside of the boundary of the PDP, which if within City limits would require a
stockpiling permit. It should be verified that the County does not have their own stockpiling
permit/process and general coordination with the County should occur on the work occurring
within their limits.
Response: A “Blanket” Grading and Construction Easement will be placed over the entire Lot 3 of the
Lestikow MRD this along with other off-site easement described in the previous resubmittal shall be
provided by the Owner of Lot 3 of the Lestikow MRD (the LDS Church) prior to the projects final approval.

01/22/2013: This comment remains as a reminder only that a mitigation and monitoring plan will
be due at the time of final.
Response: A Natural Habitat Zone Mitigation and Three Year Monitoring plan will be provided with the
Final Submittal.
11/27/2012: As per the ECS, the site has 17,775 sq ft (or 0.41 acres) of wetlands within the
elevated lateral ditch. As these wetlands possess little ecological value, e.g., they are only 1-2'
wide in most places, and are only associated with the elevated ditch, the applicants have
proposed that the wetlands be mitigated on-site.
The applicants have proposed wetland mitigation within two bioswale/water quality areas at the
northeast and southwest corners of the site. Is there groundwater data to support the selection
of these sites and so the planting can be better tailored to the different groundwater levels
expected? Staff suggests installing piezometers to measure the groundwater in this area prior
to finalizing the mitigation sites.
In our discussion at staff review, it was indicated that the wetlands will largely be supported by
stormwater runoff from the site and not by groundwater. Success criteria will need to be
developed in the monitoring plan, see below, to address this.
When finalized, the areas proposed for mitigation should be labeled as "Natural Habitat Buffer
Zones' in compliance with Section 3.4.1 of the Land Use Code (in some places, I've seen them
labeled as Natural Area Mitigation Boundary, this should be changed to Natural Habitat Buffer
Zone). These labels should be applied to the site, landscape and utility plans. Note that no
lighting can spill over into these buffer zones.
A mitigation and monitoring plan will be due at the time of final plans, if the PDP plans are
approved. The monitoring plan shall include a plan for three years of post-construction
monitoring, e.g., groundwater and plant success monitoring to achieve the success criteria that
will be established at the time of the Development Agreement.

01/22/2013: The mixup of symbols has been addressed, but more shrubs (at a minimum)
should be added to the edges of the Natural Habitat Buffer Zones, specifically the southeast
pond.
Response: Additional shrubs from the environmental characterization report will be added to the Habitat
Buffer Zone located at the northeast and to the Detention Pond edges on the southwest at time of Final
Submittal.
11/27/2012: The landscaping proposed in the wetland mitigation areas do not reflect the
recommendations from the Ecological Characterization Study. Please amend the species
selected or provide a justification for why the species proposed are more suitable. Or is this
just a mix-up in the symbols used on the detailed landscape pages?
In addition, more trees and shrubs should be added to these areas for increased vertical
diversity.

01/22/2013: The raptor nest to the west of Timberline cannot be removed until final plans have
been approved and recorded. If the timing of this removal conflicts with the seasonal
restrictions on nesting and rearing, then a temporary LOD will be established around the nest.
11/27/2012: As per the ECS, the recommendations found on page 7 regarding the raptor nest
to the west of Timberline shall be a condition of this project's approval. In addition, the Siberian
elms on site shall be surveyed prior to construction for any raptor nests.
If a raptors nest is found during the pre-construction surveys, then a temporary Limits of
Development shall be applied in accordance with Section 3.4.1(N)(5) of the Land Use Code.
Response: The existing Raptor Nest will not be removed until Final Plans have been removed.

Please consider using the native Plains Cottonwood Populus sargentii or Lance leaf
cottonwood Populus acuminata in the Natural Areas buffer zones. They should be specified at 2
inch caliper on sheet LP 7. Also the choke cherry for these kinds of sites is usually specified
as a clump by height.

It is recommended that the project, if it has not already, review the trees to transplant with a
qualified tree transplanting contractor to verify feasibility of transplanting trees shown on the
plan. The City provided measurements, tree ID and conditions but did not confirm transplant
feasibility.
Response: The owner’s representative has met with three tree relocation contractors and the preliminary
indication is that all the indicated trees can be feasibly relocated. There is no guarantee of survival rates
post-transplant, but the client will provide additional mitigation as needed for trees that don’t survive.
