Topic: General
Comment Number: 1 Comment Originated: 06/16/2014
06/16/2014: Land Use Code (LUC) Section 4.21(E)(2)(a) Pedestrian-oriented outdoor spaces
shall be placed next to activity areas that generate users (such as shops and street corners).
These spaces shall be visible from street and sidewalks and should contain amenities such as
art and shelters.
Because of the size of this project and its connections to three different streets there should be
at least two pedestrian-oriented outdoor spaces.
There should be a pedestrian oriented space along college ave located currently where the
permeable pavers are located this should include pedestrian access to the public sidewalk
and to the entrance of the building.
The other pedestrian-oriented space on the west side should be located closer to the
pedestrian entrance and not the vehicle entrance of the building.
Both areas should include greater detail on the pedestrian use such as seating, tables, art, or
shelters.
BHA – 2 Pedestrian-oriented outdoor spaces have been moved to the entrances of the retail additions, as
well as one larger plaza area at the main entrance of the dealership. Each space will provide bench
seating, differentiated paving from the sidewalks, tree canopy shading, and landscape features.
Landscape features may include enhanced planting, planter pots, boulders, and/or sculptural element.
Comment Number: 2 Comment Originated: 06/17/2014
06/17/2014: In the landscape plan on the tree mitigation sheet the tree quantities still need to
be completed.
BHA – Tree mitigation quantities have been compiled and are listed in the tree mitigation table.
Comment Number: 3 Comment Originated: 06/17/2014
06/17/2014: LUC 3.2.2(J) Along S College Ave the 15 ft. average minimum landscape setback
from the right of way is not being met.
This is an average of how much of parking frontage is meeting the required landscaped area
15' setback.
Please provide details of the calculations of the average landscape setback area.
BHA – The average width of the landscape buffer along College equals 16.8’. At its minimum, it is 6.9’
wide, at its maximum it is 28’ wide. The landscaped buffer area exceeds the 15’ buffer area by 118 SF.
Detailed exhibit of calculations has been provided.
Comment Number: 4 Comment Originated: 06/17/2014
06/17/2014: LUC 3.2.2(C)(4) On the site plan or in an additional detail the bicycle parking needs
to be shown and labeled with the number of spaces. Are all the spaces on the 1st level?
BHA – Bike parking is now shown and labeled with quantities on the site plan.
Comment Number: 5 Comment Originated: 06/17/2014
06/17/2014: LUC 3.2.4 The lighting plan also needs to include the average foot-candle for only
the vehicle use areas.
APS/GREGORY: The additional lighting statistics have been added to the photometric plan as requested.
Is there no lighting on the fourth story of the parking structure?
APS/GREGORY: It is our understanding that the upper 2-levels of the parking garage will be a future
phase and not included as part of this project. When the upper 2-levels of the parking structure are
constructed the fourth level will be open to the sky and will be illuminated in some fashion. A photometric
study on that phase will be submitted in compliance with Fort Collins standards when that phase is to be
constructed. At this point in time it is not clear to us how the 2nd level will be utilized under the phase 1
portion of this project, or how it will be prepared for the future additions of levels 3 & 4. Therefore, we do
not know if the 2nd level will be open to the sky and illuminated as part of phase 1 or not. If it is to be open
to the sky and illuminated we will utilize Pole lights to illuminate the area in question similar to the rest of
the parking lot area. We have added a worst case 2nd level, open to sky, parking structure lighting
scenario to the photometric plan on sheet E1.1.
Is there any existing lighting that is remaining that was not included on the lighting plan?
APS/GREGORY: Not that we are aware of. It is our understanding that all exterior lighting will be provided
as new.
Comment Number: 6 Comment Originated: 06/17/2014
06/17/2014: LUC 3.2.5 Trash and recycling enclosure shall be provided with walk-in access
and at least 20ft from a public sidewalk on a concrete pad.
Where is the trash and recycling enclosure?
BHA – Trash enclosure is now shown on the plan. It will be located on a concrete pad in the rear parking
lot near the building.
Comment Number: 7 Comment Originated: 06/18/2014
06/18/2014: LUC 3.5.1 Mechanical/Utility equipment (vents, flues, meters, boxes, transformers,
conduit, RTU...) shall be screened.
The plans need to identify the locations of such equipment and how they are screened.
AW – Transformers and other equipment at ground level will be screened by split-face masonry enclosures.
At the roof level, mechanical equipment will be screened by parapets. In the existing building, parapets
will be extended higher to hide equipment. Please see exterior elevations.
Comment Number: 8 Comment Originated: 06/18/2014
06/18/2014: LUC 3.5.3(C)(1) Shall provide connecting walkway to main entrance of the building.
BHA – A connecting walkway has been provided to the main entrance of the dealership from College.
Comment Number: 9 Comment Originated: 06/18/2014
06/18/2014: LUC 3.5.3(2) Buidlings have a required built-to-line. 30% of the building length
shall meet the built-to-line. Along nonarterial street the build-to-line is 0-15ft. and along arterial
street the build-to-line is 10-25ft. When there is more than one street along a property then a
the building shall meet at least two of the built-to-line. Further there shall not be any vehicle use
area between the building and the facades of the building.
With this additional standard the average landscap setback standard already cited will need to
be met. No vehicle use area, including inventory, should be included the landscape set back.
Also pedestrian connection to college ave.
The build-to-line is not being met along Kensington Dr with the new buildig it is 2' and 11" away.
The new parking area on the west side of the building should not be in between the facade and
the street.
BHA – The build-to-line is being met along Kensington and Mason. The new retail building along Mason
lies within 8’ to 20’ from the proposed ROW. The new retail building along Kensington is 15’ from the
proposed ROW. Parking has been removed from the area between the building and Mason street on the
west side of the site.
Comment Number: 10 Comment Originated: 06/19/2014
06/19/2014: LUC 3.5.3(E)(2)(a)1. Requires walls that face streets be subdivided every 30ft. in
length to create a human scale.
LUC 3.5.3(E)(3) Facades that face the street shall be broken up with architectural elements for
at least 50% of the building
The parking structure wall that faces S Mason Street needs to be refined to include more
human scale architectural elements.
The Blank walls along college both with the existing structure and Parking structure should be
broken up with architectural elements to further create a human scale.
AW – New faux columns made of split-face masonry have been added along exterior walls directly facing
streets with smaller intermediate faux columns added so that it is broken up architecturally every 20’ to 30’.
Aluminum windows frames (without glazing) have also been added along street fronts to create greater
human scale and add refinement to relevant elevations.
Comment Number: 11 Comment Originated: 06/19/2014
06/19/2014: Is the arch element at east entrance attached to the building? This seems to be a
large sign rather than portion of the building.
Please provide further details
AW – Yes, the arch element is an entrance portal that is attached to the main building. At the entry and in
between the front of the portal and the main building, there will be a finished ceiling and down lighting as
well even though it will be part of the outdoor (unconditioned) space.
Comment Number: 12 Comment Originated: 06/19/2014
06/19/2014: LUC 3.5.3(E)(6) Requires buildings to have a recognizable "base" and "top"
such as a sills and cornices/stepped parapets.
There needs to be more emphasis on this the base and top. These are currently not
recognizable.
AW – A 4’-0” tall concrete masonry unit base has been added around the entire building to add a solid
base, and the tops have been refined to further define sections of glazing and entries along the new retail
spaces and renovated main building. This creates a recognizable rhythm and consistency along the top of
buildings. The top of the parking garage is mainly defined by its simplicity in comparison to its busy
core/middle levels which are now broken up by split-face masonry columns, aluminum window frames and
simpler intermediate columns.
Comment Number: 13 Comment Originated: 06/19/2014
06/19/2014: The planning set will need to provide a cover sheet with a sheet index and
signature blocks. Or the site plan with the signature blocks and sheet index.

06/19/2014: Signs are not approved through this development process and a note will need to
indicate this or remove the signs from the plans.
BHA – A note has been added to the plans that all signage must be approved through the appropriate
approval process.
Comment Number: 15 Comment Originated: 06/19/2014
06/19/2014: There will need to be a set of plans for the site, landscape, and elevations. To
show the conditions of all phases.
It is not clear at all what is happening during the each phase.
Each phase will need to meet compliance with the LUC.
BHA – Noted. The general footprint will be constructed in phase one. Future phases will consist of the
upper three levels of the parking garage and minor extension of service bays (labeled & depicted with
dashed line on plans).

06/12/2014: Per the submitted site plan there is 174,600 sq ft of new building being added to
the site, therefore the TDRF for PDP is less than was shown and calculated on the TDRF
applicaiton. Unless the square footage changes this project will only owe $125 for the TDRF
FDP fee because of the overpayment of the PDP fee.
BHA – Noted.

06/16/2014: I've reviewed the above submittal. Based upon the TIS, it appears that the
intersection of Kensington and College will see an increase of traffic of more than 20%. Per the
State Highway Access Code, the increase allows CDOT to re-evaluate the access and to
require a new access permit.
The review of the intersection indicates that no new highway improvements are necessary, but
the applicant should be required to obtain a new access permit.
