Approval of an Overall Development Plan does not establish any vested right to develop property in accordance with this plan." Comment Number: 1 Comment Originated: 10/16/2013 10/17/2013: On Sheet A100, please change the title of the box from "Current Approved Uses (PDP Approved 5/7/13)" to simply "Land Use" Comment Number: 2 Comment Originated: 10/17/2013 Please see the following summary of comments from City staff and outside reviewing agencies for your submittal of the above referenced project.

RE: Foothills Mall Redevelopment Overall Development Plan, ODP130004, Round Number 1 Page 1 of 4 DRAFT 10/17/2013: On sheet A100 and A101, please make sure it is clear that this is called the Foothills Mall Redevelopment Overall Development Plan Comment Number: 3 Comment Originated: 10/17/2013 10/17/2013: The vicinity map road labels on sheet A100 is incorrect, Stanford Rd (not College Ave) bounds the site to the east. Comment Number: 4 Comment Originated: 10/17/2013 10/17/2013: On sheet A101, please call out under Overall Project Summary if the total parcel size is gross or net. Under "land use summary" there is a collum titled "zoning". Please change "zoning" to "use". Comment Number: 5 Comment Originated: 10/17/2013 Department: Environmental Planning Contact: Lindsay Ex, 970-224-6143, lex@fcgov.com Topic: General 10/22/2013: According to Section 2.3.2(H)(3)(5) of the Land Use Code, "the overall development plan shall show the general location and approximate size of all natural areas, habitats and features within its boundaries and shall indicate the applicant's proposed rough estimate of the natural area buffer zones as required pursuant to Section 3.4.1(E)." The plans will need to include approximate buffer zones for the Larimer Canal No. 2, which is 50'. Comment Number: 1 Comment Originated: 10/22/2013 10/22/2013: Please include a note on the ODP that indicates something similar to the following, “This Overall Development Plan shows the general location and approximate size of all natural areas, habitats, and features within its boundaries and the proposed rough estimate of the natural area buffer zone as required by Land Use Code Section 3.4.1(E). Detailed mapping of a site’s natural areas, habitats, and features will be provided at the time of individual PDP submittals. General buffer zones shown on this ODP may be reduced or enlarged by the decision maker during the PDP process.” Comment Number: 2 Comment Originated: 10/22/2013 Department: Technical Services Contact: Jeff County, 970-221-6588, jcounty@fcgov.com Topic: General 10/21/2013: Were the marked bearings on sheet A100, supposed to be spelled out like the rest of the legal description? See redlines. Comment Number: 1 Comment Originated: 10/21/2013 10/21/2013: Please mask all text on sheet A101. See redlines. Comment Number: 2 Comment Originated: 10/21/2013 10/21/2013: Please move the East Monroe Drive label to the west as shown. East Monroe Drive ends at the easterly right of way of J.F.K. Parkway. See redlines. Comment Number: 3 Comment Originated: 10/21/2013 Department: Traffic Operation Contact: Ward Stanford, 970-221-6820, wstanford@fcgov.com Topic: Traffic Impact Study Page 2 of 4 DRAFT 10/22/2013: The October 2013 TIS did not recognise the phases proposed in the ODP. Since a TIS was waived for Phase 1 and the submitted revised TIS lacks any phasing discussion or timing of improvements based upon the proposed phasing, the City has no choice than to expect all traffic related roadway improvements to be constructed with whichever of phase 2 or 3 that begins construction first. Comment Number: 1 Comment Originated: 10/22/2013 10/23/2013: The Shopping Center square footage used in the October 2013 TIS trip generation table does not match the square footage stated in the ODP application. Please revise the TIS to match. Since both values are less than previously analyzed in earlier TIS reviews it is not expected to cause additional traffic related improvements. Comment Number: 2 Comment Originated: 10/23/2013 10/23/2013: In several locations in the TIS a reference is made to the College and FtHills Parkway intersection being unsignalized (pg 15, 23), even though it is signalized. Please review and correct or clarify. Comment Number: 3 Comment Originated: 10/23/2013 10/23/2013: Page 26; each short term operational discussion uses the word "would" in a manner that seems to imply a result if something else happened, but nothing else is provided. Please review and revise or clarify. Comment Number: 4 Comment Originated: 10/23/2013 10/23/2013: Page 28; Same comment for the Long Term operational discussion as stated in Comment #4. Comment Number: 5 Comment Originated: 10/23/2013 10/23/2013: Page 30; the Recommended Laneage discussion regarding the Stanford and Horsetooth west bound right turn lane states it meets the volume threshold for a right turn lane. Review of the Site Generated westbound right turning volumes compared with the Existing westbound through Approach volumes (not including existing WbL or WbR approach volumes) warrants the westbound right turn lane. As such the City feels the Mall's traffic impact alone warrants the right turn lane and therefore the Mall Redevelopment project with the responsibility to construct the turn lane. Comment Number: 6 Comment Originated: 10/23/2013 Department: Transportation Planning Contact: Amy Lewin, 970-416-2040, alewin@fcgov.com Topic: Site Plan 10/17/2013: Please call out/identify the west bound right turn lane on Horsetooth Road at Stanford Road improvement on the Overall Development Plan. This is required to be on the Overall Development Plan per LUC 2.3.2.(H)(3) of the Fort Collins Land Use Code. Comment Number: 1 Comment Originated: 10/17/2013 10/23/2013: Please ensure there is a strong connection for pedestrians and cyclists between the underpass of College and the main building of the mall. The route should be as direct as possible and well signed. Comment Number: 2 Comment Originated: 10/23/2013 Page 3 of 4 DRAFT 10/23/2013: Please add missing sidewalks to the south side of Foothills and north side of Monroe to ensure pedestrian connectivity.
