Topic: General
Comment Number: 6 Comment Originated: 09/16/2015
11/5/15:Note #2 change ‘may’ to ‘will’.
09/16/2015: 6. Sheet 2 note #4 - this note does not work. If there is to be any
additional phasing of the utilities then revisions to these plans are needed. As
shown on the plans and identified in the Development Agreement all utilities for
Phase 1 will need to be installed and accepted and all public road
improvements completed prior to the issuance of any building permit. Once that
infrastructure is in the buildings can be phased, but if you wish to phase the
parking lot infrastructure and landscaping then a minor amendment would be
needed to modify those plans to show the proposed phasing. Changes to the
phasing shown on the utility plans could also cause the need to modify the
development agreement. This note needs to be removed from the plans.
Response: This has been changed.
Comment Number: 10 Comment Originated: 09/16/2015
11/5/15: We have had discussion regarding this and a variance would be
granted. The surface over the line will be concrete and the applicant would have
the option to provide a sleeve in accordance with the standards or could
2
construct the irrigation line with water tight DIP and no sleeve.
09/16/2015: 10. The Irrigation line under Harmony Road (ST-A) is not meeting
minimum cover requirements. The line needs to be designed so that minimum
cover can be met. How much cover do you have? Also irrigation lines are a
private utility and will need to be sleeved and will need to obtain an
encroachment permit during construction (see section 12.2.5.A.
Response: A variance request has been included with this submittal for the minimum cover and
un-sleeved crossing of a private utility.
Comment Number: 15 Comment Originated: 09/16/2015
11/5/15: Sheet 5 of 5 of the detail set also needs to be provided in the set as it
has the joint details on it.
09/16/2015: 15. CDOT concrete M-402 details need to be included in the
plans. Need to identify on the plans if curb and gutter is to be integral or not.
Response: This has been added
Comment Number: 19 Comment Originated: 09/16/2015
11/5/15:The driveway radii are to be 20 foot per the table in chapter 8.
No drainage is allowed to flow out the driveway across the sidewalk. Elevations
shown on the detail identify that more than the allowed 750 sq ft is draining out
the driveway.
09/16/2015: 19. Provide a driveway detail including the following:
a. Radii
b. Width
c. Spot elevations
d. Concrete to PL
Response: The radii have been changed to 20’. A 2’ sidewalk chase has been added on the south
side of Hacienda to ensure that less than 750 sf drain across the sidewalk.
Comment Number: 25 Comment Originated: 09/16/2015
11/5/15:Have several locations that are not meeting the maximum grade break
requirements. Also need to make sure that the design parameters of Figure
8-17 is being met at all proposed access points.
09/16/2015: 25. The ultimate profile designs for both sides need to be
provided.
Response: This has been corrected.
Comment Number: 27 Comment Originated: 09/16/2015
11/5/15:This is still applicable for the widening on Harmony and Strauss Cabin
south of Harmony.
09/16/2015: 27. What is the paved shoulder width that you are proposing? It
needs to be a minimum of 4 feet where you are adding to the roadway widths.
Response: Plans have been modified to show a 4’ paved shoulder in these locations.
Comment Number: 29 Comment Originated: 09/16/2015
11/5/15: The note just needs to be modified slightly. The turn lane will be
concrete not the access drive.
09/16/2015: 29. The future ¾ will be concrete and has not been reviewed for
design. Rather than get into those details now. Add note to the plan that ¾
access design is concept only.
Response: This has been modified.

09/16/2015: 30. Please provide an exhibit that shows that the vertical sight
distance can be met at the crown of the road. Per my look it is close.
Response: The southernmost access point has been shifted north to obtain proper sight distance.
An exhibit will be emailed directly to you.
Comment Number: 31 Comment Originated: 11/06/2015
11/5/15: The information and exhibit that was provided identified that the sight
design could not be met for access B. We did have a look at this and discuss
some options. The City is not comfortable in lowering the design speeds for
this roadway and will not support a variance to the sight distance standards.
Thus the solutions are modifying the road or the access. We feel that the best
option is for Access B to be moved north to a point in which the sight distance
can be met. This will reduce the intersection spacing between access B and
the access to the north. Ideally this change should be made not just on these
plans, but also on the ODP before it is filed.
9/16/15:31. Also need to look at the sight distance from Access B due to the
vertical rise in the road. As identified in the ODP if sight distance can’t be met
then the access point may need to be relocated.
Response: See response to Comment 30. The ODP will be updated with this information.
Comment Number: 32 Comment Originated: 11/06/2015
11/06/2015: 32. Now is the time that we need the design and grading
information for the northern portion of Strauss Cabin.
Response: An intersection detail has been added showing the grading design at this location.
Comment Number: 33 Comment Originated: 11/06/2015
11/06/2015: 33. The Center turn lane on the Northern portion of Strauss Cabin
needs to be a minimum of 12 feet in width. The other two lanes will work as
shown as 14 foot lanes including the shoulder.
Response: This has been modified.
Comment Number: 35 Comment Originated: 11/06/2015
11/06/2015: 35. Cross Sections – Need to adjust text width so it is readable.

09/16/2015: 38. The development will be responsible for the installation and
maintenance of the landscaping in the medians on Strauss Cabin Road. Notes
as such will be placed in the DA identifying that this project is responsible for
the installation and maintenance at such time the median is installed. This
comment was carried forward from preliminary review.
Response: Noted.

09/16/2015: 37. All off-site easements will need to be provided prior to
approval of the plans.
Response: These are being prepared and will be submitted upon completion.
Comment Number: 42 Comment Originated: 11/06/2015
11/06/2015: 42. Harmony and I-25 lift station plans need to be submitted to the
City for review and approval and will need to be signed prior to or in conjunction
with this plan. This is because the last design that we had seen had shown part
of this line being located within Kechter Roadway which is a City street.
Response: These are a part of a separate set that have been submitted directly to the district. We
are submitted copies of this separate set to you at this time.
Comment Number: 43 Comment Originated: 11/06/2015
11/06/2015: 43. Line and curve table with all the curve and lines referenced is
needed on the intersection detail sheet.
Response: This has been added.
Comment Number: 44 Comment Originated: 11/06/2015
11/06/2015: 44. For any of the off-site easements and/ or ROW that will be
dedicated to the City I suggest submitting the legals for these items so they can
be reviewed. It typically takes 2 weeks to get the legal reviewed. In addition to
the legals the processing fees (TDRF) for each deed to be processed need to
be submitted, the deed, and eventually the recording fees for each document
will need to be provided.
Response: These will be submitted shortly.
Comment Number: 45 Comment Originated: 11/06/2015
11/06/2015: 45. For the off-site easements that will be dedicated to the
FCLWD, we do not need to check the legals or the deeds, but we will need
copies of the recorded easements prior to signing the utility plans.
Response: Noted.
Comment Number: 46 Comment Originated: 11/06/2015
11/06/2015: 46. On the signing an striping plan - a sign need to be shown to

Comment Number: 1 Comment Originated: 09/16/2015
11/03/2015: To clarify my previous comment, prairie dog removal on this site
should be required before development or construction work begins.
Trapping/transplant efforts or euthanasia are legal options for prairie dog
removal. Euthanasia efforts must occur through the use of approved toxicants,
and trapping and transplanting of prairie dogs requires prior approval of
Colorado Parks and Wildlife. Note that bulldozing active prairie dog colonies is
not an acceptable method of removal. Furthermore, since prairie dogs are
present at this site then surveys are needed for western burrowing owls. The
following should be observed:
5
- If construction is to occur between March 15 and October 31, the area
should be checked for the presence of burrowing owls prior to any earth-moving
taking place. The owls are susceptible to being buried and killed in their holes
by construction activity during the nesting season.
- If construction is done between November 1 and March 14, it is very
unlikely that owls would be present since they migrate out of the state during the
winter, so owls surveys would not be needed if construction occurs within this
timeframe.
09/16/2015: Prior to issuance of the Development Construction Permit (DCP),
and prior to prairie dog removal, please submit the results of a burrowing owl
survey completed by a professional, qualified wildlife biologist, and in
accordance with the Division of Parks and Wildlife standards. Note the timing
requirements of these surveys are between March 15 and October 31, as no
burrowing owls are expected to be present between November 1 and March 14
. This issue will be included in Development Agreement language and is
required due to the presence of prairie dogs on the site.
Response: Thank you for the clarification. It is our intention to eradicate and begin construction
prior to March 14th, but we have no objection to having this language in the development agreement.
Comment Number: 2 Comment Originated: 09/16/2015
09/16/2015: Prior to issuance of the Development Construction Permit (DCP),
please submit a letter explaining how and when prairie dog removal occurred
at the site and in accordance with the Colorado Parks and Wildlife standards.
This issue will be included in Development Agreement language.
Response: Noted, this will be provided prior to construction.
Comment Number: 3 Comment Originated: 09/16/2015
11/03/2015: Following up on my previous comment, please note the
requirements of section 3.2.4 of the land use code and with city of fort collins
light and power utility, that all lighting fixtures provided with the development
shall use a concealed, fully shielded light source and shall feature sharp cut-off
capability so as to minimize up-light, spill light, glare and unnecessary diffusion.
09/16/2015: Please add shields to the lights along the north and south borders
adjacent to the habitat buffers. See redlines for details.
Response: We have added shields to the lights on the north and south borders of the site.
Comment Number: 4 Comment Originated: 11/05/2015
11/05/2015: In regard to LED light fixtures, cooler color temperatures are
harsher at night and cause more disruption to circadian rhythms for both
humans and wildlife. Please consider a warmer color temperature (closer to
2700K) for your LED light fixtures.
Response: We have not been able to locate 2700K LED bulbs for this project, but we have changed to
the natural white option which is 4000K.

See comments 7,9 and10.
09/14/2015:
Tree Mitigation inventory comments:
Tree number 39 is shown to be transplanted. Can it be kept in place or is it too
close to the new curb.
Provide the required number of upsized mitigation trees. Mitigation trees should
be sized as follows.
Canopy shade trees 3.0 inch caliper
Ornamental trees 2.5 inch caliper
Evergreen trees 8 feet height
Existing trees 1, 14, 15, 18, 19, 20, and 21 are shown to be transplanted. Why
can these trees not be kept in place? Why are they being transplanted? They
appear to be in adequate condition and contribute to the site at their current
location.
If any trees end up being transplanted label the symbol on the landscape plan
with the species being transplanted and the exiting tree number. Verify that new
locations are provided for any transplanted tree.
Add this sentence to none number 2 under Tree Transplant Note number 2:
Written recommendations by the qualified tree transplanting contactor shall be
provided to the City Forester prior to any tree transplanting.
Use the new 8 tree protection specifications in place of the 7 used. These new
notes are available from the City Forester.
The following existing trees appear to have revived in health from early season
moisture since the tree evaluation was performed earlier this year. The
following trees shown to be removed can be kept in place and not removed.
3, 4, 7, 8, 17, 21, 22, 23
Actual Mitigation is shown as negative one for some trees to remove. That is
incorrect. Use the recorded mitigation number.
Recalculate mitigation to reflect more trees to retain and for trees shown to be
transplanted that can be kept in place.
Response: Noted, see responses below.

Use of Lanceleaf Cottonwood in place of Narrowleaf cottonwood would avoid
the problems associated with the excessive sucking habit of Narrowleaf
Cottonwood.
09/14/2015:
7
Narrow leaf cottonwood are shown in several location is parking lot islands and
peninsulas. This species should not be planted in these areas because of its
prolific sucker production. Use an alternate Canopy shade tree in these
locations that is suitable to these locations.
Response: We have updated all of the Cottonwoods to Narrowleaf.
Comment Number: 6 Comment Originated: 11/06/2015
11/06/2015:
Show the locations of street lights on all City Streets and provide the code
required separation between lights and trees.
Response: Street lights have been shown on the Landscape plans and their location has
been coordinated with light and Power. 40’ clearance has been given to all lights in the
public ROW.

11/06/2015:
Existing Trees along Harmony Road previously shown to be retained are now all
either transplanted or removed. Contact the City Forestry to discuss the reason
this change has been made and provide an explanation why retaining trees at
their location along Harmony Road is not feasible.
Response: We have attempted to protect these trees throughout most of the development review
process. Recently it has been determined that the boxelder lateral that supplies Harmony Gardens,
which runs directly to the south of the row of trees along Harmony Road needs to be reworked due to
the Harmony and Strauss cabin intersection improvements, and it needs to be lowered 2’ from the
existing flowline. This puts the trees in serious jeopardy as the side slopes of the reconfigured
lateral extend past the tree trunk. We have determined that the best course of action would be to
transplant as many as possible and remove the other trees.

11/03/2015: Current drawings show most of the proposed transformers in the
drip zone of proposed trees. Since it is expected that the electrical capacity for
each building is unknown due to uncertainty in the types of tenants, the
transformers will have to be installed at a later date. Therefore line crews will
have to have room to set a transformer and pad and not be obscured by the
trees. Transformers will need to be located within 10ft of paved surface and
have clearances of 8ft in the front and 3ft on the sides and rear.
Response: Proposed trees have been moved.

11/03/2015: Street light design along Strauss Cabin will have to be slightly
adjusted in order to meet City standards for proper spacing. Strauss Cabin is
identified as an arterial roadway classification. One tree located near
southernmost street light will have to be relocated to accommodate this spacing.
It is assumed that each tree located next to a street light on Strauss Cabin is an
ornamental type tree? Please contact Todd Vedder with Light and Power
department.

11/03/2015: Now Sheet 53; a sediment trap is still needed. Note 2 should
state that the gravel layer should either be CDOT No. 4 aggregate or AASHTO
#57. The perforated underdrain should be 6-in, rather than 4. The geotextile
fabric should not be wrapped under the gravel layer.
09/14/2015: Sheet 51 of the plan set; please adjust the rain garden detail so
that the dimensions and types of soil used match Standard Detail D-53. Please
add a sediment trap to the detail. Will the geotextile liner be permeable?
Please feel free to work with Basil Hamdan, 970.224.6035
(bhamdan@fcgov.com) on the rain garden detail as well as any other LID and
BMP requirements.
Response: A sediment trap has been added to the detail, but is quite small due to the confined
available space. Note 2 has been revised and the perforated underdrain is now shown as 6in.

11/03/2015: Now Sheet 53; the City Bioswale Cross Section Detail shows a
rectangular bottom. the bioswales on these plans are triangular. The UDFCD
bioswale cross section detail is a triangular channel, but does not have the sand
media, the gravel layers, etc.
09/14/2015: Sheet 51 of the plan set; please include a detail drawing for the
bio-swales and identify which swales will have that designation.
Response: The City Bioswale detail is no longer needed and has been removed. Swale C-C and D-D
12
will both follow the “Triangular Swale Section” detail.

11/02/2015: This comment still needs to be addressed.
09/14/2015: Please include sediment traps at the entrances to all bio-swales
and to the various rain gardens.
Response: All bioswales have been removed from the plans and replaced with “Triangular Swale
Sections”. Sediment traps have been added to the raingardens. Please see the Raingarden Detail.
Comment Number: 33 Comment Originated: 11/03/2015
11/03/2015: On Sheet 8 of 55. Since Swale D-D is not proposed to be a
bio-swale and has a slope less than 2%, either provide a concrete pan, or a soft
pan. We can provide detail drawings of a soft pan design if needed.
Response: Swale D-D will be a “Triangular Swale Section” with underdrain.
Comment Number: 34 Comment Originated: 11/03/2015
11/03/2015: On Sheet 8 of 55. Add a note with the temporary swale C-C,

11/03/2015: On Sheet 22 of 25, and any storm sewer sheets which have the
note about Type C inlets in the rain gardens, include a reference to a detail
drawing and detail sheet number. I don't believe a Type C inlet detail is
included now, so one will have to be included.
Response: The Type C detail has been added and reference to this detail has been added to the
Notes section of the storm plan and profile sheets.
Comment Number: 36 Comment Originated: 11/03/2015
11/03/2015: On the spillway detail, the descriptions within the cross hatched
area below the spillway are illegible. Also, one note mentions that the extent of
the rip-rap is shown on the plans. Sheet 54 does not include any dimensions.
It should be on one sheet or the other. On Sheet 54, refer to the spillway detail
and the detail sheet number (53).
Response: The detail has been fixed and the extents of the riprap area are now shown on the Interim
and Final Erosion Control Plans. Reference to these dimensions and where to find them is noted on
the Overall Drainage Plan.
Comment Number: 37 Comment Originated: 11/03/2015

11/03/2015: The 54-inch storm sewer (ST-B) will eventually be routed south
through the overall site. Please show the future alignment on Sheet 54. Will the
grades of this pipe work with existing and proposed conditions?
Response: This line is now 60” and the future alignment and outfall locations are now shown on the
13
Overall Drainage Plan. Proposed grades and the outfall elevation into the future detention pond has
been checked.

Comment Number: 40 Comment Originated: 11/03/2015
11/03/2015: The LID table does not match the drainage plan and grading plan.
The LID techniques to be applied to do not match what is in the plans. For
instance, N-4 has permeable pavers, but is not being claimed as such in tables
G-1 or G-2. Also, basin N-10 is shown as going to a bio-swale, but C-C is a
temporary swale, which means that eventually N-10 will not be an LID basin and
won't count towards the 50% minimum acreage. Swale B-B is not a bio-swale,
but the LID table shows N-3 draining to a bio-swale B-B.
Response: The drainage report has been updated with recent changes to pervious paver locations
and the removal of bioswales. We are no longer taking LID credit for temporary swales.
Comment Number: 41 Comment Originated: 11/03/2015
11/03/2015: Include bio-retention/rain garden sizing calculations in the
drainage report to verify that they satisfy the treated acreage being claimed.
Response: Raingarden sizing worksheets have been added to Appendix G.
Comment Number: 42 Comment Originated: 11/03/2015
11/03/2015: In the detention pond design section of the drainage report (3.2.6),
there is discussion about the need for a no-rise certification for the new spillway,
using historical elevations when the floodplain was mapped. This area was part
of a LOMR 14-08-0580P, effective 12.15.2014. The no-rise certification needs
to reflect the elevations used in that LOMR.
Response: This section has been revised.
