footprint size on each sheet in the elevations and reconcile those numbers with the table on
sheet A103. Additionally, please check the accuracy of the dimension call outs as to scale, some
sheets seem to be off.
These designations have been provided and coordinated with the Land Use tables.
Topic: General
Comment Number: 1 Comment Originated: 01/09/2014 01/09/2014: On Sheets C203 and
LA103 the pedestrian lighting location needs to be coordinated between landscape and utility
set.
Lighting has been coordinated.
Comment Number: 2 Comment Originated: 01/09/2014 01/09/2014: Sheets LA104/ A238 -
Transformer needs to be relocated infront of meter (as previously shown). Currently the
transformer is in front of the buildings windows. Additional screening should be considered.
The revised transformer location is reflected on the landscape plan.
Comment Number: 3 Comment Originated: 01/09/2014 01/09/2014: Sheet
LA110/A216/C718 Please move the transformer northeast so it does not block the proposed
windows and screen the transformer. Sheet C718 electric line would need to be updated to
accommodate this.
Transformer has been moved and screening added.

The revised bike rack location is reflected on landscape plan.
Topic: Landscape Plans
Comment Number: 1 Comment Originated: 01/09/2014 01/09/2014: The shrubs, grasses,
groundcover, perennial key was removed from the LA sheets in this submittal. Please include
on the sheets.
Plant material legend will be added on LA sheets.
Comment Number: 2 Comment Originated: 01/09/2014 01/09/2014: Sheet LA 102 - Please
call out grass pavers by cell tower per utility Sheet C203, as the key does not identify.
Will comply.
Comment Number: 3 Comment Originated: 01/09/2014 01/09/2014: Sheet LA-103 - 1)
Please add one shade tree on the south side of the water quality area to fram the drive entry. 2)
The outermost plant material is not identified in the legend. The lanscaping in the water quality
area does not seem to relate to the retaining wall (see utility set sheet WQ-004).
1) One shade tree has been added to this location.
2) Plant material legend will be shown on LA sheets. The landscaping in the water quality area
has been adjusted.
Comment Number: 4 Comment Originated: 01/09/2014 01/09/2014: Repeat Comment from
11/22 not addressed: The previously approved PDP showed 12trees in the area
north/northwest of Block 14A. With the ramp removed, please add 4 additional treeson Sheet
LA-103
Four additional trees have been added in the area.
Comment Number: 5 Comment Originated: 01/09/2014 01/09/2014: Repeat comment from
11/22 not addressed: On sheet LA-104, additional evergreen to screen transformer from
Foothills Parkway (4' off gas line).
Due to the two proposed water lines and one existing gas line running right through this area,
there is NO more room for an additional tree to screen the transformer. However, an
Page | 3
interactive public art program is being discussed, and this transformer will very likely be
painted as a component of that program with decorative art work.
Comment Number: 6 Comment Originated: 01/09/2014 01/09/2014: On Sheet LA - 108 the
previous comment on 11/22/13 was intended to add a ree, not re-arrange. Please add
additional tree on southwest corner. Additionally, tree needs to be added on triangle landscape
island and trees respaced.
On sheet LA-108 the tree layout has been adjusted per the transformer relocation, and
currently, this linear space has been fully planted with trees at 25’on center. Two additional
trees have been added on the triangle landscape island to provide more shade for parking, and
one evergreen tree has been changed to an ornamental tree offering more shade.
Comment Number: 7 Comment Originated: 01/09/2014 01/09/2014: On sheet LA-109, the
Code requires landscape islands to be a minimum of 8' in width with a minimum of 80 sq. ft. of
area with a canopy shade tree (LUC 3.2.1(E)(5)(c)). Please increase the size of the landscape
island west of the trash enclosure. This may involve losing a parking space. If so, please make
sure sheet A102 is updated to reflect this change. See redlines.
The landscape island is expanded to 8’ in width with one canopy tree planted per code.
Comment Number: 8 Comment Originated: 01/09/2014 01/09/2014: Repeat Comment: Sheet
LA-109 - Please relocate the bike parking on the west side of the Block 19 building to the front
where it is more visible and fully landscape that area.
The revised bike rack location is reflected on the landscape plan, and this area is fully
landscaped.
Comment Number: 9 Comment Originated: 01/09/2014 01/09/2014: Repeat comment from
11/22/13 and 10/16/13: Sheet LA 114 - Previous PDP (12/28/12) had 6 trees in landscape area
south of the theater, just right of the sidewalk. Please respace and add two more trees.
Three more trees have been added in this planting area.
Comment Number: 10 Comment Originated: 01/09/2014 01/09/2014: Repeat comment
from 11/22/13 : Sheet LA 116 - Previous PDP (12/28/12) had 7 trees in landscape area east of
the parking structure. Please respace and add two more trees 4' off gas line. It is not necessary
to be 40' off the lights along the internal drive as that requirement is only for public streets.
Two more trees have been added.
Topic: Plat
01/06/2014: Please note that you will need three (3) signed and notarized copies of the plat.
All property owners within the project boundaries must have signature blocks describing who
they are and each property owner signature must be notarized. Please note the Larimer Canal
Page | 4
No. 2 should sign the plat. Tree removal and Construction within the PA2 boundaries (that was
not part of the previous minor amendment) cannot occur until the Foothills Redevelopment
Plat is recorded, the PA2 plans signed and the PA2 Development Agreement (different from the
redevelopment agreement that went to City Council) is executed.
Acknowledged. Generally, the Plat revisions will follow the Final Plans to allow for final
revisions to the boundaries and parcel descriptions reflecting the final approved configuration.
Comment Number: 2 Comment Originated: 01/09/2014 01/09/2014: The signature blocks on
the plat say 2013 in about 6 places, please fix. Also please put a line so the person signing can
print their name and title.
Acknowledged.
Comment Number: 3 Comment Originated: 01/09/2014 01/09/2014: There is an attorney
certification block on the plat now, is there a change from the previous direction of title
insurance?
The Plat has been configured as directed by Counsel.
Topic: Site Plan
Comment Number: 1 Comment Originated: 12/24/2013 12/24/2013: Sheet A103 - The call
out on the plan for Block 1A is 208,098, which is different from the table. Please correct. If the
table is the incorrect number, please remember to update the totals at the bottom.
Tables have been updated to coordinate with the drawings.
Comment Number: 2 Comment Originated: 12/24/2013 12/24/2013: Please delete or correct
the call out on the left side of sheet A103 regarding PA1 as the Final Plans for PA1 have not
been signed and it went to hearing on 11/21/1 not 05/07/13 as stated. It may be easier to simply
call out "Planning Area 1 or Phase One."
Revised to call out Planning Area 1.
Comment Number: 3 Comment Originated: 12/24/2013 12/24/2013: Note number 8 on sheet
A103 is a bit confusing and I am not sure of its intent. Please reword the note for clarity,
identifying buildings on Blocks as opposed to adjacency to tracks as delineated on the plat.
Note revised to address the adjacent Tract K only.
Comment Number: 4 Comment Originated: 12/24/2013 12/24/2013: There is a spelling error
in note number 11 on sheet A103.
Corrected.

Comment Number: 5 Comment Originated: 01/09/2014 01/09/2014: On Sheet A102 in the
project parking table, under bike parking it says 288 spaces (160 sp on site; 140 adjacent to &
in structure). However, 160 + 140 = 300, not 288. Please rectify.
Corrected.

Topic: Construction Drawings
01/09/2014: The plans still show the separate patching on the northeast portion of the site with
the three northern patches to Stanford Road needing to be consolidated to a single patch.
Patches have been consolidated where appropriate.
The information, (now shown on C506) does need to indicate the consolidation of patching, per
25.2.D of LCUASS ("Where three or more pavement cuts are proposed within a 75-foot-long
roadway section, the pavement between the patches shall be milled and inlaid with new
pavement over the entire work area.")
Will need to look on the number and spacing of patches on Stanford shown on sheet C507. The
multiple patches may need to be consolidated to a single larger patch.
Patches have been consolidated where appropriate.
Comment Number: 3 Comment Originated: 01/09/2014 01/09/2014: Carried over as
unresolved.
Comment not resolved.
On sheet C813 the detail for concrete sidewalk on the lower left corner specifies 4" sidewalk
thickness with 6" thickness at driveways. This detail needs to be replaced with LCUASS detail
1601 which specifies 6" sidewalk thickness with 8" at driveways.
The sidewalk sections have been clarified.
1. Sheet C813 calls out the sidewalk thicknesses for sidewalk within the right-of-
way and outside the right-of-way. For sidewalks within the right-of-way, or
partially in the right-of-way, the 6-inch sidewalk depth (with 8-inch depth at
driveways) is shown.
2. For sidewalk cross walks within or partially within city right-of-way, LCUASS
detail 1612 (enhanced concrete sidewalk) is on sheet C813 and referenced on the
site plan.
3. LCUASS detail 1601 show a ‘non-enhanced’ crosswalk detail across a
driveway. There are no situations like this on this project, so there is no reason
to show the detail
4. Enhanced sidewalk crosswalks outside the city right-of-way follow the detail on
sheet C801.
Page | 6
5. For the proposed 12-foot wide sidewalk along College Avenue, a typical section
for Heavy Duty Sidewalk (with 6-inch thick concrete) is on sheet C813, the
sidewalk is appropriately patterned on the site plan, and the pavement is noted
on the legend on the title sheet. The geotechnical report calls out 6-inch thick
concrete slabs for truck docks, so the 6-inch thickness should be adequate for the
bike path, even if vehicles occasionally drive on it.
Comment Number: 4 Comment Originated: 01/09/2014 01/09/2014: Carried over as
unresolved.
Comment appears to not be addressed (now shown on C813)
On sheet C816, there are City standard details that show slope information crossed-out was
this intended? Not sure why slope information was crossed out.
1. The detail has now been moved to sheet C815. The slope information in detail 1607
was crossed so as not to conflict with ADA code that require max 2% in any direction
for a landing (the slab where the truncated dome plate is located is a landing in some
locations that require a 90-degree turn on the slab).
2. The slope information in detail 1603 was crossed so as not to violate ADA regulations
that specify a maximum of 2% (1:48) grade change in any direction for sidewalk
landings. We are using the detail for the purposed of showing how the truncated domes
are installed and where they are to go. The crossed out slope conflict with some ramps
we have designed on the project, such at Monroe and College. We feel it necessary to
remove the conflicting information, but the detail still works for its intended purpose.
01/09/2014: For the Horsetooth/Stanford turn lane, with the intent now to have the right turn
lane to full design with Phase 2, the original comment is no longer applicable. The following
are a copy of the email comments for reference that was sent out on 12/20:
1) The cross-sections should be showing the right-of-way limits for verification on whether
the grading can be done fully in right-of-way or is any offsite easements are needed. The
“slope intercept” indication on the plans would appear to show that there is an amount of
grading that does fall outside of right-of-way just east of the vault. If an offsite easement is
ultimately needed, the fully signed easement will need to be provided prior to approval.
2) Typical requirements would have the grading at a 4:1, we’ll allow the 3:1 specific to
this design.
3) A flowline profile indicating grade lines and vertical curves where appropriate will
need to be reflected on the plan and profile sheet for review, demonstrating how it ties into
existing grade to the east and existing flowline at Stanford.
4) Because of minimal cover over the triple storm pipes, we’ll need to have a concrete
pavement section specified for the width of the turn lane from 5 feet east of easternmost storm
pipe to the limits of construction to the west. The curb and gutter along this section would be
integral with the pavement.
5) Ward has indicated his acceptance on turn lane geometrics. Similarly, the turning
movement information you provided was also found to be acceptable.
6) With the resubmittal of PA2 and routing to other departments and agencies, additional
comments from those other departments and agencies may occur.
Page | 7
7) With the goal of having the turn lane fully approved and designed with PA2, my
comment from the last PA2 review is no longer applicable along with the cost estimate you
provided earlier. The turn lane will still require collateral as part of our Development
Construction Permit process for PA2, along with the rest of the public infrastructure for PA2.
For reference, I’ve attached the cost quantities spreadsheet that we use to determine public
infrastructure that’s required to be secured. This would need to be filled out during the DCP
application process. It may be of benefit with the application (also provided for reference) to
provide separate spreadsheets (and separate security) for the turn lane vs. the on-site portion
of the mall to address the different points in which the improvements need to be in and the
warranty periods they would have as a result.
1. The grading was revised to keep grading limits in the right-of-way, so no easement will
be required.
2. Acknowledged.
3. Existing flowline grades were added to the plans as requested.
a. Note that at the east end, the proposed curb flowline ties to the existing edge of
pavement that acts as a flowline, so the grade from pavement edge flowline to
proposed curb flowline may appear steep. Our design allowed for a smooth
transition between the existing edge of pavement and proposed flangeline.
b. Note at the connection on Stanford, the flowline grades at the tie-in point are at
an existing inlet with warped curb, so the although the grades look steep, it is
due to the inlet curb warping.
4. Concrete pavement with integral curb and gutter has been added as requested.
5. Acknowleged.
6. Acknowleged.
7. Acknowleged.

This was sent, let us know if you had any issues with the download.
Topic: General
Comment Number: 1 Comment Originated: 01/09/2014 01/09/2014: Due to limitations in the
database software, previous unresolved comments are not carried over into this final plan
review. An empty line in the comment reflects a previous round(s) comment being carried over.
Apologies in advance for issues of clarity.
01/09/2014: I'm understanding that the comment may be applicable again as Corner Bakery
Cafe may remain. If that's the case, we'll need to ensure that the plans are revised to show the
restaurant remaining and review the overall design. The changes of the sidewalk along
College, including the underpass connection, and the potential transit stop changes will need to
be reviewed in detail.
Comment considered no longer applicable with Corner Bakery no longer shown to remain.
Should the status change, this comment may be updated again.
Page | 8
Carried over for reference to be included in the development agreement.
The existing Corner Bakery is no longer on the plans.
Comment Number: 16 Comment Originated: 06/07/2013
06/07/2013: In consultation with the City's Traffic Engineer, with the plans now showing
Corner Bakery Cafe remaining, the existing drive aisle in front of Corner Bakery Cafe
intersecting with the main drive aisle out to College Avenue isn't necessarily viewed as ideal
from a traffic operational standpoint. That said, the Traffic Engineer will not object to the drive
aisle connection remaining with the existing Corner Bakery Cafe use. We would look to have
language in the development agreement however, indicating that with any future development
or redevelopment with the site no longer being Corner Bakery Cafe, the City reserves the right
to evaluate and require the closure of the drive aisle due to close proximity of its intersection
with College Avenue. In the event however that the ditch is not relocated to the west side of
College Avenue and the drive aisle area is being re-done with the ditch located along this area,
the access drive onto the main drive aisle should be removed.
The existing Corner Bakery is no longer on the plans.
Comment Number: 7 Comment Originated: 01/09/2014 01/09/2014: Again I'm
understanding that the comment may be applicable again as Corner Bakery Cafe may remain.
If that's the case, we'll need to ensure that the plans are revised to show the restaurant
remaining and review the overall design.
Comment considered no longer applicable with Corner Bakery no longer shown to remain.
Should the status change, this comment may be updated again.
Carried over for reference. There did not appear to be a variance request for this. Sheet C200
shows that parking stalls abut the sidewalk. Will there be an issue of vehicles overhanging onto
the sidewalk?
The existing Corner Bakery is no longer on the plans.
Comment Number: 17 Comment Originated: 06/07/2013
06/07/2013: The amount of parkway between public sidewalk and curb along College Avenue
is required to be 10 feet in accordance with the City's major arterial standards. With the
Corner Bakery Cafe remaining, the plans show that less than 10 feet of parkway would exist.
The plans should look to accommodate the 10 foot minimum parkway width wherever possible
and if unable to achieve, a variance request would be needed for evaluation and approval.
The existing Corner Bakery is no longer on the plans.
01/09/2014: Carried over for further inquiry and verification. Note that sheets C304 and C306
are showing the demoing of existing sidewalks along driveways that tie out to Stanford Road. If
these sidewalk connections are not built until Phase 3, then the amount of connectivity that
would occur with Phase 2 would actually be less than what is existing today in these instances.
Page | 9
The plans now show these sidewalks will be constructed as part of Phase 2.
With the indication of residential areas not being part of the submittal, does this mean that
sidewalk connections along the drive aisles fronting these residential areas won't be built at
this time? Verification may be needed from Transportation Planning and/or Planning on
whether they find an importance of having these drive aisles have sidewalk connections with
the commercial part of the mall, ahead of the residential component.
Correct, the sidewalks fronting the west side of the residential areas on Stanford will not be
constructed until the residential buildings are constructed. However, the east-west sidewalks
connecting the commercial area to Stanford will be constructed as part of Phase 2.

Comment Number: 9 Comment Originated: 01/09/2014 01/09/2014: Please revise the transit
easement note to the following: "Transit Easement - Easement for public transportation,
equipment, infrastructure and/or use, including public access."
Acknowledged.
Comment Number: 10 Comment Originated: 01/09/2014 01/09/2014: The multiple
signatures on the plat would need to be replicated on the development agreement for PA2. With
the last iteration of the development agreement for PA1 having a different signature block for
Walton Foothills Holdings VI, LLC there may be questions from the City Attorney's Office on
whether the PA1 and PA2 signature block for Walton Foothills Holdings VI, LLC needs to be
consistent, I'll certainly defer to the attorneys on this.
We will also.

We are still coordinating this item with the developer however at this time we anticipate this
being included as a part of the PA2 agreement as there are no planned impacts to the wetlands

Acknowledged.
01/09/2014: Continued comment number 15 (12-1-13) for only the part of the comment to
explore retaining existing trees. Previous comment number 15 (12-1-13) asked that existing
trees in Southmore village 5th filing area be inventoried and that retaining some of these trees
should be explored. This comment continues the part of that comment on retaining some of
these trees. Thank you for providing the inventory information for this area. The response
indicated that with the most current plan, we were not able to retain any existing trees in this
area, and a row of proposed evergreen trees are provided to screen the adjacent residential.
It appears the landscape area along this north boundary by Tract H Southmore Village 5th is
around 25 feet wide which could allow enough space to retain the better coniferous trees in this
area in a similar fashion to those retained just to the west. Please evaluate these trees (893,
896, 904, 905 and 921) for suitability and feasibility of retention in the landscape area on the
north boundary on sheets LA 5 and LA 9. By selective retaining some of these mature conifer
trees it appears that the row of new spruce could still be planted between and behind these
existing trees to provide the screen between the project and residential.
The majority of these existing trees are in Fair/Poor condition. Maintaining these trees would
require a 4’-5’ tall retaining wall and would expose the trees to root system damage. After
consideration, it is not economically feasible to keep these existing trees.
01/09/2014: Thank you for providing an updated tree inventory and mitigation plan on
December 5th in response to previous comment number 1 (10-22-13) and number 14 (12-1-13).
Please now update changes that have occurred since then or will occur from final comments to
the Tree Inventory and Mitigation Plan submitted on December 5th. Information sent with the
December 5th transmittal is the last inventory information I have received. This includes
information provided in these two documents:
FHM Tree Mitigation Plan PA2 updated 1205 December 4 Completed Spread Sheet.
There appears to have been some small changes to the tree inventory information as plans have
been updated. On sheet LA 128 of the current landscape plan these totals are recorded, which
are a little different than those recorded on the December 4 Completed Spread Sheet:
Sheet LA128 (December 20) Total Current Mitigation: 1020 Total mitigation PA1: 50.5 Total
mitigation PA2: 621.5 Total Mitigation PA3: 282 Total Mitigation Canal: 65.5
December 4 Completed Spread Sheet: Total Current Mitigation 1013
Total Mitigation PA1: 50.5 Total Mitigation PA2: 615 Total Mitigation PA3: 348
Please update changes on the Spread Sheet and Mitigation Plan to be consistent with the
current numbers on LA128. Also identify which trees are part of the Canal Mitigation, as
Canal trees were not previously identified on the spreadsheet. It would also help qualify the
Page | 11
Total Mitigation in PA3 by adding a foot note that says in effect that the final mitigation for
PA3 to be determined when final plans for that area are approved.
Acknowledged.
Comment Number: 30 Comment Originated: 01/09/2014 01/09/2014:
Thank you for providing the tree mitigation summary totals on Sheet LA128. This is very useful
information. In addition please also add these summary totals on Sheet LA128 to give the
summary overview of existing trees located on PA2.
Total existing trees on PA2
Total trees that will be retained on PA2 Total trees to be transplanted on PA2 Total trees to be
removed on PA2
Will comply.
01/09/2014: Consider adding a sentence to the current note that appears on LA 120, 121, 122,
123, 124, 125, and 126. The current note states:” Residential Landscape Design and tree
mitigation not part of the planting area 2 submittal package”.
Will comply.
Consider adding this sentence to the current note:
Existing trees in PA3 to be kept in place as part of PA2 plans until time of development of PA3
areas.
Acknowledged.
It is possible that some of the Phase 2 construction or use may impact Phase 3 trees, but this is
unknown at this time. By establishing that the trees are to be kept in place as part of the Phase
2 plans then any trees in the Phase 3 area that end up being impacted by Phase 2 construction
or use could be evaluated through a minor amendment process to PA2, because they are
defined as being kept in place as part of PA2 plans until PA 3 development occurs. The
alternative would be to not allow any removal in Phase 3 until it is approved. This process is
being suggested to define a review and evaluation process that could consider any unforeseen
impacts to trees in PA3 areas. This process has been determined to be workable by the City
Zoning Administrator.

Comment Number: 33 Comment Originated: 01/09/2014 01/09/2014:
Please add this note or equivalent to the tree protection specifications on sheet LA129:
The project will utilize a qualified private certified arborist to inspect, supervise and evaluate
tree protection specifications and the construction impact to existing trees to be retained. The
project arborist shall mark all trees to be retained in the development prior to construction and
oversee the placement of tree protection fencing. The project arborist shall determine if the tree
protection specifications are being followed and recommend tree protection methods to the
developer to ensure retained trees are protected during construction. Regular inspections will
be provided as needed to ensure existing trees are being protected during construction. The
project arborist shall promptly report to the developer any cases where the tree protection
specifications have not been followed. If the project certified arborist determines any existing
tree should not be retained due to unforeseen construction impact or for tree health reasons
then a written report will be provided to the City and developer documenting the tree
evaluation and reasons for removal. Removal of any tree shown to be retained on the plans
shall require the prior approval of the City with mitigation based on the exiting tree inventory.
Will comply.
01/09/2014: For the final landscape plan revisions please review for consistency plant
material lists on LA 128 and LA128 A. Check that the actual plants being used are the ones
recorded in the lists and that each list is consistent. For example there appears to be plants
recorded in the General Plant List that are not currently being used on the project. If they are
not being used they typically should not be listed. The minimum size for shrubs needs to be 5
gallon. That is correctly recorded for shrubs on LA128 but not on LA128A. On LA128A please
consider using the same plant material categories as shown on LA128 (Deciduous Shrubs,
Evergreen Shrubs, Ornamental Grasses, Prairie Grass Mix, Perennials, Ground Cover, Turf
Grass) with the sizes shown on LA128 used as the sizes on LA128A.
Plant list will be updated.

Thank you for the response in previous comment 16 about the possible retention of tree number
42 which is a mature pine tree along College Avenue. Unfortunately it is reported that this tree
cannot be saved. For documentation could some additional information please be provided
why that is the case?
It conflicts with the placement of the proposed sidewalk, it is co-dominant, and it is not in
good condition.
Comment Number: 39 Comment Originated: 01/09/2014 01/09/2014:
Spruce trees are spaced at 20 feet along the north boundary of the project on sheets LA 105
and LA109 for the primary purpose of screening. The cultivar Baby Blue Eyes Spruce is
specified. This cultivar is a strongly pyramidal, semi-dwarf selection of Colorado Spruce with
a height 20-25 feet and width 8-12 feet. To better achieve the screening objective in LUC
3.2.1.C, and at an earlier date, it is recommended that Fat Albert Blue Spruce be considered
for this area. It has a mature height of 50-60 feet and width of 20-30 feet. Evaluate spacing
trees closer to achieve an earlier and more solid Screen.

Comment Number: 2 Comment Originated: 12/31/2013 12/31/2013: Building addresses will
be assigned by the GIS Department after the plans have met final approval through
Development Review and are recorded with the City. Buildings with three or more tenant units
require the Unit Level Addressing form to be completed and submitted to the GIS Department
once plans have met final approval through Development Review and are recorded with the
City. This can occur anytime during construction, but before any utilities or address signs are
installed. All addressing will be determined by the GIS Department and submitted to Poudre
Fire Authority, USPS, Building Services, and Fort Collins Utilities. Failure to contact GIS and
determining addresses through other means may result in address changes. The Unit Level
Addressing form can be obtained by contacting the GIS office at gis@fcgov.com or (970) 416-

Topic: Easements
Comment Number: 1 Comment Originated: 01/08/2014 01/08/2014: The final plat submitted
shows many utility easements being vacated (sheet 3 of 10) near Stanford Road. CenturyLink
has a Manhole and duct run (smaller than on college, but still sizable) that branches from
College Avenue and heads east to Stanford Rd. where it feeds all the residences, apartments
east all the way to Lemay Ave. and beyond. It is located roughly as shown on my markup (sheet
3 of the plat).
If that easement is vacated by this plat when approved then CenturyLink's facilities will be out
of easement.
There was previous discussion that some sort of utility easement would stay in place to address
this issue? but I cannot find this information. Please confirm. PDF redlines illustrating this
issue were forward to Clif Poyner on 1/8/13.
The easements have been modified to allow the existing line in question to remain in a
proposed utility easement. The line is anticipated to be left in place. Sheet C718 shows the
line and the proposed easement to remain.
01/08/2014: The current main feed into the Mall is from a manhole on Foothills Parkway and
it appears the run southeast into the mall telco rooms easement is also being vacated. This is
fine with CenturyLink, but the developer's agent requested we keep all that in place until the
new feed (from Stanford Road) can be established. That run will also be out of easement when
the plat is approved.
The out lot buildings all have copper cables feeding them and the intent is to cut off and
abandon them in place so demo can commence. We have yet to work out firm plans to feed
the proposed new building. There was only tentative talk about a new main feed into the mall
from Stanford Rd.
If you have any questions, please contact Bob Rulli, Field Engineer CenturyLink, 970-490-
7503 or robert.rulli@centurylink.com.
The easements have been modified to allow the existing feed to remain in one. The new mall
feed coming from Stanford has also been added to the plans (see sheet C718). Individual
services to outlot buildings are currently being designed by Larry Monger of LRM who has
been coordinating with Bob Rulli at Centurylink.

Comment Number: 2 Comment Originated: 01/08/2014 01/08/2014: The duct run (4x4) was
constructed in 1972 so it's almost as old as the main duct run on College Ave. There are two
fiber cables (a 24 and a 144) and large 1200 pair copper with the associated airpressure
system. This is that paper insulated copper from 1974 that needs air pressure on it keep dry.
One of the plats we received previously shows an apartment building being built right over this
duct bank here and is again creating a big conflict with this run. Sheet 5, Lot 4 is where it
would be located.
That existing line running down FHP and the north ring road shall be preserved in place. The
configuration of the residential development has not been fully finalized at this time and could
be reconfigured to miss this line. This line will not be impacted under the currently proposed
scope of work. Please ignore the linework in those residential parcels.

Comment Number: 1 Comment Originated: 01/08/2014 01/08/2014: Irrigation Plans are
required no later than at the of building permit. The irrigation plans must comply with the
povisions outlined in Section 3.2.1(J) of the Land Use Code.
01/08/2014: Please make sure the following standard irrigation plan notes are included on the
irrigation plan set:
Contractor installing the system must provide Fort Collins Utilities and the owner with "as-
built" drawings after installation is complete, incuding updated charts with existing field
conditions.
Read thoroughly and become familiar with the specifications and installation details for this
and related work prior to construction.
Coordinate utility locates ("Call Before You Dig") of underground utilities prior to
construction.
Do not proceed with the installation of the irrigation system when it is obvious in the field that
obstructions or grade differences exist that might not have been considered in the engineering.
If discrepancies in construction details, legend, notes or specifications are discovered, bring all
such obstructions or discrepancies to the attention of the owner¿s representative.
Although irrigation components may be shown outside planting areas for clarity, install
irrigation pipe and wiring in landscaped areas whenever possible.
Page | 22
Tree and shrub locations as shown on landscape plans take precedence over irrigation
equipment locations. Avoid conflicts between the irrigation system, planting materials and
architectural features.
Use only standard tees and elbow fittings. Use of cross type fittings is not allowed.
Provide to the owner prior to the completion of the project: two (2) operating keys for each
type of manually operated valves and two (2) of each servicing wrench or tool needed for
complete access, adjustment and repair of sprinklers.
Select nozzles for sprayheads and rotors with arcs which provide complete and adequate
coverage with minimum overspray for the site conditions. Carefully adjust the radius of throw
and arc of coverage of each rotary sprinkler to provide the best performance.
Install all electrical power to the irrigation control system in accordance with the national
electric code and all applicable local electric utility codes.
If a section of unsized pipe is located between the identically sized sections, the unsized pipe is
the same nominal size as the two sized sections. The unsized pipe should not be confused with
the default pipe size noted in the legend.
Install a minimum of two (2) appropriately sized control wires and one (1) common wire from
controller location to each dead-end of mainline for use as spares in case of control wire
failure. Cap end of wires with water-proof wire connector. Wire terminations must be located
in a valve box. In addition, coil three (3) feet of wire in valve box.
A master shut-off valve shall be installed downstream of the backflow device to shut off water
to the system when not operating.
Irrigation controllers shall be "smart" controllers, using climate-based or soil moisture-based
technology, selected from the Irrigation Association's current Smart Water Application
Technologies (SWAT) tested products list or other similarly tested product list. Controllers
shall be installed and programmed according to manufacturer's specifications.
A rain sensor shall be installed on each irrigation controller and installed according to the
manufacturer's specifications.
Drip, micro-sprays, sprayheads and rotors shall not be combined on the same zone.
Sprinklers shall be spaced no closer than seventy-five (75) percent of the maximum radius of
throw for the given sprinkler and nozzle. Maximum spacing shall be head-to-head coverage.
Sprinklers, bubblers or emitters on a zone shall be of the same manufacturer.
Sprayheads in turf areas shall have a minimum three and one-half (3½) inch pop-up riser
height. Properties with single or combined point of connection flows of 200 gpm or greater,
shall have a control system capable of providing real-time flow monitoring and the ability to
shut down the system in the event of a high flow condition.

Contact an auditor from the City's Approved Auditor List. Systems with subsurface irrigation
are exempt from the audit. The auditor should be independent of the irrigation system designer
and installation professional. If this is not the case, indicate what the auditor¿s role was during
design and installation. Auditor performs audit according to the City¿s Sprinkler Performance
Audit Guidelines and using the Performance Audit and Catch Can Data forms, including the
following data: a) operating pressure for one sprinkler on each zone, b) distribution
uniformity. Minimum acceptable distribution uniformities are: 60% for sprayhead zones and
70% for rotor zones. The auditor may elect to perform tests on one-third to one-half of the
zones to get an average value that could be applied to all zones that are identical (have the
same sprinkler head, nozzle, spacing and operating pressure).
Acknowledged.
01/08/2014: As a heads up, Fort Collins Utilities (water conservation) approves the
installlation and submittal documents before issuance of certificate of occupancy.
Six- Week Inspection:
Within six weeks of the installation of new landscaping, reset the Smart Controller(s) to the
normal seasonal watering schedule.
FC Utilities will inspect that the controller has been programmed for a normal schedule, the
input chart has been posted and the rain sensor properly installed and operating.

Comment Number: 1 Comment Originated: 01/08/2014 01/08/2014: (Carryover comment as
a reminder) - Place valves at both ends of each section of new 8" water main to provide a
means of isolating for pressure testing and disinfection.
Valves have been placed at each end of new 8-inch water mains to allow for testing. However,
in some cases the sections of new watermain have small segments of existing watermain
between the new sections, and it did not make sense to add even more valves for the short
sections. So in these areas – areas where there is new watermain with short sections of existing
main in between – the entire section of main (both new and existing) between the valves will be
tested and accepted as new main.
