Topic: General
05/12/2015: The fence and ivy should be continued on the west side of the porte
corchere along the parking space.
03/17/2015: Stalls along the north property line will need to be surfaced with asphalt
or concrete.
The new parking areas are required a 5ft landscape setback. This can be reduced
through additional screening. It is suggest a 3ft wrought-iron fence with vegetation
could provide adequate screening. This would be both the north and south parking
areas.
09/02/2014: Stalls along north property line will need to be surfaced with asphalt or
concrete.
What screening of the vehicle use area along the north property line is included?

03/18/15: The applicant will need to get an access permit from CDOT for the
existing driveway prior to starting the driveway work. 09/01/14: Since the driveway
will not be closing the applicant will need to work with CDOT regarding a
new/updated access permit for this driveway. The driveway shall be a one way
driveway and that needs to be noted on the site plan and appropriate signage shown
to be installed on the plans, so it is clear that cars are not to enter from the wrong
way. 07/15/2014: For the driveway closure:
The applicant will need to get an access permit from CDOT for the closure (no
cost).
The driveway cut would need to be replaced along College Ave with vertical curb
and gutter.

03/17/2015:
Further discussion of this item appears needed in reference to location of the trash
facility if required and the alternatives under discussion related to placing parking
near the tree.
09/03/2014:
The current plan shows the alternate trash enclosure location at the large
cottonwood at the SE corner of the site. The parking stall just to the west appears to
be less than 3 feet from the tree. The extent of the pavers near this tree is not very
not clear.
Please review these conflicts and consider if the parking stall can be shifted to the
west or possibly not included to provide better protection to the tree. The City
Forester is available to meet on site if needed to help evaluate.

Thank you for adding the proposed Yellowood tree NW of the building. Mitigation
trees need to be upsized, and in the case of Yellowwood which is an ornamental
tree the mitigation size is 2.5 inch caliper. Please record the size of the Yellowwood
in the Tree/Planting Legend as 2.5 inch caliper.

05/12/2015: The landmark Preservation Commission found that the property would
qualify for designation under Criterion A, B and C. The property also has been
evaluated as qualifying for National and State Register listing by History Colorado.

Preservation Commission and Council for Fort Collins Landmark designation. The
property has previously been found to be eligible for local designation for both its
architecture and historical associations. The property is also likely to be eligible for
listing on both the State and National Registers.

05/13/2015: There is existing electrical service feeding the residential home that is
capable of handling up to 150 amps. If additional electrical capcity is needed beyond
single phase, 150 amps service then system modification charges will apply. Brad
March has indicated that there is currently a 70 amp breaker panel but they may
need to go up to 200 amps of service to handle air conditioning but assumes they
can do this with the single phase service. If three phase service is needed
easements may be needed.

05/13/2015: Comment remains.
03/17/2015: The response letter indicates that the application for the change in use
permit from CDOT is attached. I didn't see it in the packet. This permit will be
needed to be completed before the applicant can use the driveway in the manner
shown.
09/02/2014: Since the shared drive concept is abandoned, the existing drive will be
used. CDOT appears to be supportive of this. The drive needs to be one way
(inbound only), and a change in use permit will be needed from CDOT.
07/16/2014: The shared driveway off College Avenue needs to function as an
appropriate high volume drive that accesses a state highway. If it's being used for
2-way traffic, it would need to accommodate 2-way traffic for at least some distance
from street.
