Topic: Building Elevations
Comment Number: 1 Comment Originated: 07/31/2012
07/31/2012: Please include heights on final elevation plans. Per the Land Use Code, building
height is measured from average finished ground level to the highest point of the roof structure
(not the eave).
Response: Additional dimensions have been added to the elevations.

08/01/2012: Along Drake some of the street trees are at 50 foot spacing. Add ornamental trees
15 feet from the lights and adjust spacing down between trees to around 30-35 feet between
trees along Drake. Ornamental trees should not be used in the site distance triangle.
Response: Per the August 23, 2012 conference call, ornamental trees have been added between the street
lights and canopy trees.

08/01/2012: Green Ash is not on the City of Fort Collins street tree list, but can be planted on
the private property portion of the project.
Response: Green Ash along the perimeter streets have been changed to an approved species.

07/21/2012: On page SP-1 (site plan) the first note should be "Medium Density Mixed-Use
Neighborhood District" additionally, on the signature block, the Community Development and
Neighborhood Services Director signs off as opposed to the Current Planning Director.
Response: The notes have been changed per the comment.

07/21/2012: There is a change in the number of exterior parking stalls. Where did that parking
space go?
Response: In response to prior comments, a few diagonal parking stalls nearest Joseph Allen and
Timberline had to be removed in order to comply with required setbacks; therefore, the parking count has
changed slightly, but still meets minimum requirements.

07/31/2012: Although this plan meets the standard in terms of bike parking, it is relatively
underserved as compared with recent similar development proposals in the area. That being
said, after speaking with Ron Gonzales with Poudre Fire Authority and our Chief Building
Official, Mike Gebo, we see no reason not to allow additional bike parking spaces in racks
under the open stairs. Please detail this on the plans and update the plans accordingly (zoning
inspections) if the applicant desires.
Response: Additional bicycle parking within the breezeways is now planned to be included for this project.
An updated bicycle parking count is shown on the site plan.
Update: There are now 10 bike racks indicated under open stairs, all at the largest 36 unit
buildings. There are three spaces at each rack, which adds 30 additional bike parking spaces to
the project.
Comment Number: 4 Comment Originated: 07/31/2012
07/31/2012: Please add the residential units/ rooms in the mixed use building to the parking
data table on the site plan.
Response: The parking spaces allotted for the residences in the club house (“penthouse units”)
have already been included in the parking count and have also already been shown on the Parking Data
table. However, the Parking Data table now clarifies that the “penthouse units” are included in the count.

Topic: Construction Drawings
Comment Number: 26 Comment Originated: 07/27/2012
07/27/2012: I think that there might be just one of these, but it is not labeled and a similar
looking mark is shown on Joseph Allen right behind the inlet, but that doesn’t make sense as a
sidewalk chase. 02/28/2012: Need to show proposed sidewalk chases out to existing and
proposed streets.
Response: Sidewalk chases have been cleaned up on the drawings. The one along Joseph Allen was
eliminated in lieu of a small area drain atop the storm pipe, and the one along Charles Brockman was moved
to the appropriate location.
Comment Number: 28 Comment Originated: 07/27/2012
07/27/2012: 07/27/12: Unless there is several feet of extra width on the existing bike lane the
cut and match line for the curb along Drake will need to be the stripe between the bike lane and
the travel lane. I spoke to Rob Mosbey, Engineering Project Manager who along with the
Engineering Inspector who will make the decision regarding the limits of patching briefly about
this. And the bike lane line seems to be the edge for the patch. If you have questions about
the patching limits I would ask that you talk to him since he will be the decision maker on this in
the field. 02/28/2012: Drake Road design; See standards for saw cutting existing asphalt;
sawcut at lane line or center of a travel lane. Two foot from the existing edge of asphalt isn’t
adequate unless it happens to fall along the existing lane line.
Response: The asphalt patch along Drake Road is now shown to be along the bike lane/travel lane stripe.

Comment Number: 32 Comment Originated: 07/27/2012
07/27/2012: The storm drain in Joseph Allen Drive does not appear to have adequate cover at
the low point in the street. A minimum of 3 feet from top of pipe to top of asphalt is needed to
meet minimum cover requirements. 02/28/2012: Drake Road design; When cross sections
are provided you will need to show the storm drain pipe elevations and the cover over it.
Need to verify it meets minimum cover requirements.
Response: The low point in Joseph Allen Drive has been raised to provide 36” of cover over the storm pipe
at the lowest elevation of the roadway. In regards to cross-sections for Drake Road: the north tributary
storm sewer system is 7’ deep where we tie in at Joseph Allen Drive, and the depth of the pipe along Drake
Road is significantly greater than 3’, so there should be no concern about inadequate depth over the storm
sewer along Drake Road where the new westbound right turn lane is proposed. Thus, we have not gone to
the extensive effort to show this on the cross-sections because it can be seen on the storm plan and profile
sheets.

07/27/2012: Please see the couple of comments on the general notes.
Response: The plans have been revised per the comment.
Comment Number: 55 Comment Originated: 07/27/2012
07/27/2012: Please place the couple of notes I added on the grading plan indicating what
sidewalk is to be built with this plan. I think I know what you are intending to do, but these
notes will help to make it clear what the intent is.
Response: The notes have been added to the plans per the comment.
Comment Number: 56 Comment Originated: 07/27/2012
07/27/2012: For the stormline that will run under the future extension of Charles Bockman Drive
please show the planned roadway elevations so I can verify that minimum cover is being
provided. I assume that the prior project showed a preliminary design for this extension - that
can be used, you do not need to design the road.
Response: The stormline that is proposed to run under the future extension of Charles Brockman Drive will
be no less than 7’ from the existing grade, and somewhere close to 7’ from the future roadway grades.
(Based on street design criteria, it will be impossible to design the future extension of Charles Brockman
Drive that would have less than adequate cover over the pipe.) Thus, we have not gone to the extensive
effort of showing this on the plans.
Comment Number: 57 Comment Originated: 07/27/2012
07/27/2012: Please provide the existing slopes that are being tied into for the extension of
Joseph Allen Drive.

07/27/2012: Need to identify the location of the Loop Drives on Joseph Allen Drive. You can
id the centerline and label the width of the drives or sta each side of the drive. Either works.
Response: The information has been provided per the comment.
Comment Number: 59 Comment Originated: 07/27/2012
07/27/2012: Showing a curb return grade that doesn’t meet minimum grade at Drake/ Joseph
Allen. The profiles and intersection detail also do not match.
Response: The curb return grade has been fixed and is now only shown on the Drake Road profile.
Comment Number: 60 Comment Originated: 07/27/2012
07/27/2012: Need to provide a detail for the changes to the east median that you are
proposing. How are you proposing this to be done? Will want enough of the section replaced
that it is a solid mass.
Response: Spot elevations, line and curve data, and asphalt patching is now shown on the plans to
provide a clearer picture of what needs to be done to construct the new median nose.
Comment Number: 61 Comment Originated: 07/27/2012
07/27/2012: Where is the existing crown line in Drake? Does it change with the removal of the
median and/ or with the change to the east median nose? Please show and label it on the
plans. Also provide a centerline profile for the area where you are removing the median.
Response: The existing and design contours were inadvertently left off the plans for the last submittal.
These have now been added to the plans to illustrate the location of the crown. The location of the crown
has not been changed for the proposed design.
Comment Number: 62 Comment Originated: 07/27/2012
07/27/2012: Add the street cut note to the Drake Road plan and profile plan.
Response: The note has been added to the plan per the comment.
Comment Number: 63 Comment Originated: 07/27/2012
07/27/2012: The limited pavement patch you are showing for the median removal maybe
possible if the contractor is really carefull and doesn’t have any edges that break or ravel. It is
quite possible that the patch will have to go out to the middle of the lane. At the west end you
will have a patch out to the middle of the adjacent lane since the minimum patch width is 6 feet.
Response: Correct asphalt patching per City standards have now been shown for all areas affected by
construction on Drake Road.
Comment Number: 64 Comment Originated: 07/27/2012
07/27/2012: Need a detail for how you are going to end the west median. What are you
proposing to do? Is there any landscaping that will be left? The landscape plan does not show
this area.
Response: There will not be any landscaping left in the west median, as the proposed median nose is further
to the west than the existing landscaping extends. Therefore, the cap on the median will be a concrete cap,
consistent in slope and texture to what is existing, and following the LCUASS standard detail 704-B.

Comment Number: 65 Comment Originated: 07/27/2012
07/27/2012: Will need to add a note to the Drake Road plan and profile sheet regarding the
existing water service to the median, what needs to be done with that and how. I have sent an
email to Parks to find out what this note should say. Obviously the note will be different
depending on if there is any landscaping or not to remain, so if you could let me know the plan
that would be great.
Response: There will not be any landscaping remaining in the median, so the water service extension to the
median will need to be capped and abandoned in place.
Comment Number: 66 Comment Originated: 07/27/2012
07/27/2012: Please label the limits of the concrete at the Drake/ Timberline intersection. If it is
not right at the PC where you are tying in it will impact the tie in and pavement patch.
Response: The proposed curb and gutter along Drake Road will tie into the existing curb at the PCR at the
northwest corner of Drake and Timberline.
Comment Number: 67 Comment Originated: 07/27/2012
07/27/2012: For the left turn lane and the right turn lane I need the taper length and storage/ bay
length labeled so I can check the design. It looks like you may have intended to do this on the
cross section sheet, but the numbers are too small for me to read.
Response: The storage and taper lengths have now been provided on the Drake Road plan and profile
sheets.
Comment Number: 68 Comment Originated: 07/27/2012
07/27/2012: Drake Road Cross sections. Need to provide elevations for the flowlines
(medians and edges) and existing and proposed slopes on all sections. As part of the cross
section review I am going to be looking at is what the overall x-section will be when the street
is milled and overlayed and we ideally get one slope from median or crown to gutter. Without
knowing what the elevations of these points are and doing the manual calculations I can not fully
determine that.
Response: Elevations at the flowlines and/or street crowns have been added to the cross-sections.
Comment Number: 69 Comment Originated: 07/27/2012
07/27/2012: Drake Road Cross sections. Why doesn’t this stationing match the design
stationing? All three plans have different stationing. This makes it incredibly difficult to
compare things between sheets. It all needs to be the same stationing or at least if not
numbered the same start at the same point.
Response: The stationing of the roadways are based on flowline and match the limits of construction for
each project. The stationing of the cross sections is along the centerline to avoid distorting the cross slopes
when the curb is not perpendicular to the overall roadway. The elevations of the curb and gutter shown on
the plans by Aspen Engineering has been added to the cross sections along with the future cross slope.
The cross slope along Drake from Joseph Allen to Timberline matches existing. Therefore the cross slope
shown will not change when it is milled and overlaid.

Comment Number: 70 Comment Originated: 07/27/2012
07/27/2012: Drake Road Cross Sections. I know that you are two different firms doing the
design, but I need to see the north flowline and curb location on these cross sections. As
much as I can match things up the slopes shown on the cross sections do not always seem to
match those shown on the north drake curb plan by Aspen Eng.
Response: The elevation of the proposed curb and gutter along the north side of Drake Road, west of
Joseph Allen Drive has been added above the cross-sections for your easy reference.
Comment Number: 71 Comment Originated: 07/27/2012
07/27/2012: Intersection details. For the Loop Drive details. The grades shown are okay
provided you realize that these driveways will need to be built per drawing 707 and the
maximum slope across the walk area is 1:48 and it will work with the elevation points you have
provided.
Response: Noted.
Comment Number: 72 Comment Originated: 07/27/2012
07/27/2012: Intersection details. For the Timberline Driveway. With this detail it looks like all
the drainage from Timberline is going to be coming in this driveway across the sidewalk. Is
that the intent? If so the drainage needs to be brought into the site using sidewalk culvert not in
the driveway over the sidewalk. If that is not the intent then just make sure that a pan is clearly
shown on the cross section of the driveway that you provide. Since this will not match the
standard section shown on the driveway cut a section is needed to show what the grades are
and how this works.
Response: The design has been revised to match the standard.
Comment Number: 73 Comment Originated: 07/27/2012
07/27/2012: Intersection details. For the Joseph Allen/ Drake intersection. Additional
elevations are needed, the transition point (distance and elevation is needed) and additional
information on the changes at the center of the road are needed.
Response: Additional spot elevations have been provided. The proposed crown of the road matches the
location of the existing crown.
Comment Number: 74 Comment Originated: 07/27/2012
07/27/2012: Additional details are needed for the median work. #703 for the curb type and
then 704-B, 705, or 705a as appropriate.
Response: Details have been provided per the comment.
Comment Number: 75 Comment Originated: 07/27/2012
07/27/2012: The Drake Road plan by Aspen. In addition to the comments already noted that
also apply to this sheet. This sheet is not correctly showing the removal of the median in the
roadway.
Response: The plans submitted by Aspen were from their preliminary design; however, their plans now
represent TST’s most current design.

07/27/2012: The connection is shown on the UP as the permanent sidewalk, but is labeled as
temporary asphalt sidewalk on the site plan. It can be either, just make sure the plans match.
5/10/12: This connection is now being shown as a detached asphalt path. With final plans we
will need to see the tie in point shown as well. 02/28/2012: An off site pedestrian connection is
needed to connect this site to the Power Trail. This connection can be a temporary asphalt
path or can be the concrete sidewalk built in the ultimate location. If it is to be built in the
ultimate location the design for Drake will need to be done to verify location and elevations.
Response: This walkway will be a permanent concrete sidewalk. All labels are now consistent. The design
for this walkway will be provided in Aspen Engineering’s plans.
Comment Number: 36 Comment Originated: 07/27/2012
07/27/2012: 07/27/12: The radii on the entrances are shown larger than allowed. The radii
need to be in accordance with table 8-2. Which identifies a 15’ radius on the driveways off of
Joseph Allen and 20 feet for the entrance off of Timberline. 02/28/2012: Provide 15’ radiuses
on approaches to driveways along Joseph Allen and min. 20’ radiuses on approaches to the
driveway along Timberline Road.
Response: 15’ radii have been provided at the two intersection locations on Joseph Allen Drive and a 20’
radius has been provided at the intersection on Timberline.
Comment Number: 53 Comment Originated: 07/27/2012
07/27/2012: Garage 1 based on the building envelope on the plat is not within the building
envelope (guessing either the envelope or the garage location changed at some point). This
also means that as shown the water main runs through the building envelope and is not within
an easement.
Response: The building envelope shown on the plat has been shifted to the correct location.
Comment Number: 54 Comment Originated: 07/27/2012
07/27/2012: In addition to the utility easement along the west side of Joseph Allen that is identified on the plat to be
dedicated by separate document, easements by separate document also need to be dedicated for the storm
drainage pipes and ponds, the water and sewer stubs that extend west past the row and for the grading along Drake
and any grading that may need to be done west of Joseph Allen Drive row that is outside of the utility and drainage
easements that need to be dedicated.
Response: All required easements for utilities and drainage will be dedicated by separate instrument,
prepared by Aspen Engineering. Once these easements have been recorded, the easement lines and
recordation information will be provided on the Spring Creek Farms North Filing No. 2 final plat (prior to
recordation of the plat).
Topic: Plat
Comment Number: 13 Comment Originated: 07/27/2012
07/27/2012: These easements are still needed and have not been shown on the plat or the
plat. Because this property is no longer included in the boundary of the plat these easements
8
will need to be dedicated by separate document. There is a processing fee of $250 plus
recording fees for each easement to be dedicated. Due to the boundary change the project
will have a credit on the fees I have not had a chance to calculate what that is yet, but do not
pay for the easement dedications until I can get that calculated. 05/10/12: Per the utility plans
drainage easements are still needed on the east side of Joseph Allen and are not yet being
shown. 02/28/2012: At the northwest corner of East Drake Road and Joseph Allen Drive where
the drainage pipes extend into Outlot A a drainage easement(s) are needed.
Response: See response to comment 54 above.

07/27/2012: 02/28/2012: If Poudre Fire Authority requires the private drives to be named,
those names will also need to be placed on the plat with private drive or street like private
drive in parenthesis after.
Response: Understood.

Comment Number: 6 Comment Originated: 07/31/2012
07/31/2012: Green Ash is a still used as a street tree at different location on the project so they
should be changed to a species on the City Street Tree list such as Bur Oak and/or Honey
locust. Lindens are now used as street trees but we ask that they not be planted along arterials
due to road salt issues. Using Catalpa for the two lindens on Drake would address this.
Response: The species have been changed per the comment.

07/31/2012: Is it possible to use additional conifer trees along the buildings that front on
Timberline and Drake? A greater mix of deciduous and conifer forms could be beneficial in
these areas.
Response: Conifer trees have been added to these areas.
Comment Number: 8 Comment Originated: 07/31/2012
07/31/2012: Street trees would be required between sidewalk and curb along Timberline. Is the
water line prohibiting planting street trees in this section to meet the required separation
distance? Are there any alternative options?
A possible alternative would be to see if some ornamental trees could be planted in the
parkway. Project Planner would first need to review this with the Utility to see if this was even
possible.
If street trees cannot be placed in their standard location then try to maximize tree planting in
the area between the building and sidewalk along Timberline.
Response: Per August 29, 2012 phone conversations with Planning and Utilities, an 8’ separation is required
between trees and the water main. An additional tree was added to north of the bus stop where space
allows.

08/09/2012: Here's the PFA opinion regarding addressing:
1. the unit signage is about the right size. We would like to know how this will provide the
required visibility as it is posted on a contrasting background--what will that look like, or is it to
be black and white as indicated herein?
Response: The signs will be contrasting with Dark on Light. We anticipate black or
very dark brown lettering on an off-white or beige background.
2. regarding the building signage, the 6 " minimum honestly is too small, and also is not
architecturally pleasing, as it gets lost in the trees and the mass of the edifice. An 8" is
recommended, but 10" is preferable. Also, since these buildings don't all front on Timberline,
the building address should be visible from the street side and the fire lane side of the
building.
Response: We had previously done mock-ups of signage lettering size and found the largest sizes too
commercial in appearance. 8" letter will be acceptable. We agree the signage should be on both fire service
side and street side and we had indicated the signage on both frontages.
3. One more item for discussion regarding the monument signs--it would be most helpful to
post the range of unit numbers found in a specific building, especially if units are also
11
approached from the rear, and are not seen from the "front"side of the building.
Response: Directional signage at one or both entries to each parking group and couplet of apartments
indicate the apartment numbers service in that area and directions to the balance of apartments.

07/30/2012:
1. Please meet the require criteria in the Erosion Control Report, section 3.3 in the submitted
drainage report has not met the report requirements.
2. Straw Bails are no longer a valid BMP in Fort Collins, please use a different and adequate
BMP.
3. On the Initial Erosion Control Sheet, the water lines do not need to be shown, and the
perimeter protection needs to be addressed.
4. On all three sequences of the Erosion Control Plan VTC needs to span the whole access
points, not just half. (Also double check the dimensions, they look off.)
Response: A Storm Water Management Plan has been prepared and submitted to the City for their
information and review. Straw bales have been removed from the erosion control plans. The initial stage
BMP erosion control sheet shows the wet utilities because they are initial stage of construction along with
earthwork. During the initial stage of construction, the site is several feet lower than the existing roadways,
so perimeter control is not needed until the contractor is ready to import enough dirt to the fill the site to
final grade.

08/07/2012: Comment (below) not addressed from PDP phase.
5/18/2012: Please provide the data used to design the Eb Left turn lane on Drake at Joseph
Allen (DHV's, taper and storage length determinations, etc.)
Response: There is only 350’ from the west flowline of Joseph Allen/Sagebrush to the Railroad ROW; so the
desirable and minimum design lengths shown below cannot be met. Based on the long range total analysis,
the 95th percentile queue is 7’ in the morning and 11’ in the afternoon peak hours.
17
Assumption: Design Speed = 45 mph (40 posted +5); DHV = 60
Using Figure 8-2 the length should be:
Desirable = total length 450’ (375’ decel and taper; 75’ storage)
Minimum = total length 370’ (320’ decel and taper; 50’ storage)
Therefore, it was decided that the deceleration/storage lane should be maximized, to the extent possible, at
195’ with a taper of 155’.
