06/05/2014: LUC 3.5.1(G) Buildings over 40ft in height require special height review. This consists of a shadow
analysis and visual analysis.
RESPONSE: Buildings 1,2 & 3 are all less than 40ft in height. Buildings 4-7 exceed 40ft only in the ridgeline area.
The vast majority of the building masses are below 40ft. However, shadow and visual analysis sheets (A-6 & A-7)
have been added to the submittal and illustrate and describe project compatibility with the surroundings.
06/06/2014: Sheet number 1 of landscape plan details note number 4, the note mentions a warranty after final
acceptance. Who is providing warranty and who is accepting?
RESPONSE: Warranty note eliminated.
Remove note number 28 on this same sheet. If time of year prevents installation of landscaping then a financial

have been shown in the new elevations. Only a few elements are not behind screen walls and in these cases the
elements are to be painted to blend with the building materials they are mounted to or are to be screened with
landscape elements.
Comment Number: 10 Comment Originated: 06/06/2014
06/06/2014: The photometric site plan in addition will need to call out the parking area and calculate the average
foot candle to ensure it meets the average minimum 1 foot candle.
RESPONSE: The electrical engineer is worried about the request for 1 FC. They have pushed it to .67 FC and really
hesitate to push much higher in a residential area. Levels are elevated the at the commercial space to meet this
level, but would find it really unusual to expect it in a residential area
Comment Number: 11 Comment Originated: 06/06/2014
06/06/2014: Where is the variation of repeating buildings? Projects with more than 5 buildings need at least three
distinctive building types.

3-story, unit building, a 3-story 10 unit building, a 2-story 12 unit building and a 2-story commercial building
Also projects with more than 56 units need to provide at least 3 distinct color schemes.
RESPONSE: 3 distinct color schemes have been provided and are reflected in the new elevations.
Comment Number: 12 Comment Originated: 06/06/2014
06/06/2014: To help mitigate the concern that commercial land is being used for residential purposes and to comply
with the code standard that block faces should mirror similar uses and the code standard that to have three distinct
building types, can the buildings that front on to Illinois can the ground units be designed and constructed to have
the potential to convert to other uses beside residential?
RESPONSE: A commercial building (Building 2) has replaced some of the previously residential footprint fronting on
to Illinois Drive.
Comment Number: 13 Comment Originated: 06/06/2014
06/06/2014: Parking spaces in the public right of way can not be reserved for the residential private parking, it is all
still public parking. The modification request should only acknowledge that there is a surplus of spaces than that
typically found in the ROW along a multi-family dwelling.
RESPONSE: Modification forthcoming
Comment Number: 14 Comment Originated: 06/06/2014

Building Permit Pre-Submittal Meeting
Pre-Submittal meetings are offered to assist the designer/builder by assuring, early on in the design, that the new
commercial or multi-family projects are on track to complying with all of the adopted City codes and Standards listed
below. The proposed project should be in the early to mid-design stage for this meeting to be effective and is
typically scheduled after the Current Planning conceptual review meeting. Applicants of new commercial or multi-
family projects are advised to call 416-2341 to schedule a pre-submittal meeting. Applicants should be prepared to
present site plans, floor plans, and elevations and be able to discuss code issues of occupancy, square footage and
type of construction being proposed.

Be advised, the Poudre Fire Authority and the City of Fort Collins have adopted the 2012 International
Fire Code. Building plan reviews shall be subject to the adopted version of the fire code in place at the time of plan
review submittal and permit application.
RESPONSE: Acknowledged.
Comment Number: 2 Comment Originated: 06/10/2014
06/10/2014: EMERGENCY ACCESS EASEMENT
Fire lanes shall be dedicated Emergency Access Easements. The proposed EAE shown on the Site
Plan does not appear to fully meet fire code criteria in the following ways:
1) EAE's shall be continuous and connect to the public way. The fire lane north of Building 5 is offset from the curb
cut connection at Iowa Drive and does not appear to uniformly connect to the public way.
RESPONSE: Revised to meet these requirements as much as city code will allow.
2) The required 30' wide EAE on the south side of Building 6 is not labeled conclusively. As detailed on the plan, it
appears the EAE is offset from portions of the drive aisle.
RESPONSE: Easement now overlays the drive aisle.
a) The 30' width should be maintained unobstructed at all times. Currently, a portion of the pad, curb and
landscaping provided with Garage #6 encroaches on the proposed EAE.
RESPONSE: Revised to meet these requirements as much as city code will allow.
b) While the EAE is labeled as 30', the actual limits of the EAE are shown at only 15' in width. c) The EAE will need
to fully align with the southern curb cut on Iowa Drive.
RESPONSE: Acknowledged. See above.
3) The EAE shown on the Site Plan does not match the information shown on the Plat.
RESPONSE: Acknowledged.
Comment Number: 3 Comment Originated: 06/10/2014
06/10/2014: AERIAL FIRE APPARATUS ACCESS
The 30' wide fire lane requirement has not been met at Buildings 1,2,& 3. This plan was previously reviewed and I
gave tentative approval of the site design prior to receiving building elevations. Building designs, such as they are,
do not adequately provide for occupant access and rescue from the side of the building facing the position of ladder
truck access. As directed by the Fire Marshal, further discussion is required.
RESPONSE: Buildings 1, 2 and 3 are now proposed two-story.
IFC Appendix D; Poudre Fire Authority Administrative Policy 85-5: In order to accommodate the access
requirements for aerial fire apparatus (ladder trucks), required fire lanes shall be 30 foot wide minimum on at least
one long side of the building. At least one of the required access routes meeting this condition shall be located within
a minimum of 15 feet and a maximum of 30 feet from the building, and shall be positioned parallel to one entire side
of the building.
RESPONSE: Acknowledged. We believe we now meet these requirements.
Comment Number: 4 Comment Originated: 06/10/2014
06/10/2014: PARKING & SIGNAGE
Fire lanes are to be maintained unobstructed at all times. Fire Lanes shall be posted as NO PARKING
- FIRE LANE per code. No tandem parking will be allowed in front of garage doors of residential units
(Bldgs. 1-7) if parked vehicles encroach upon the fire lane.
RESPONSE: Acknowledged. No tandem parking presented
Comment Number: 5 Comment Originated: 06/10/2014
06/10/2014: PAVERS
Fire lanes shall be designed as a flat, hard, all-weather driving surface capable of supporting 40 tons. Private drives
incorporating pavers to surface fire lanes shall be designed to support 40 ton. This note shall be added to the civil
plans.
RESPONSE: Acknowledged. Note added stating that all fire access lanes shall be designed to handle frequent
heavy truck traffic loadings. This should not be a problem with typical details and modern paver design but the
required design load should be no more stringent than required for asphalt or concrete designs.

06/10/2014: KEY BOXES REQUIRED
2012 IFC 506.1 and Poudre Fire Authority Bureau Policy 88-20: Poudre Fire Authority requires at least one key box
("Knox Box") to be mounted in an approved, exterior location (or locations) on every
new or existing building equipped with a required fire sprinkler or fire alarm system. The box shall be positioned 3 to
7 feet above finished floor and within 10 feet of the front door, or closest door to the fire alarm panel. Exception can
be made by the PFA if it is more logical to have the box located somewhere else on the structure.
RESPONSE: Acknowledged
All new or existing Knox Boxes must contain the following keys as they apply to the building:
> Exterior Master
> Riser room
> Fire panel
> Elevator key if equipped with an elevator
RESPONSE: Acknowledged
The number of floors determines the number of sets of keys needed. Each set will be placed on their own key ring.
