11/12/2015: Friendly observations for you to consider:
Some of the plants used would be a problem for you.
-Tufted Hairgrass is not really a xeric plant like many others in the plans, and is
delicate; not reliable. I show specific comments on its use to enclose south
patios. Tufted Hairgrass has been removed from the plant palette.
-American Plum is thorny, and tends to get disfigured by aphids. American Plum has been removed from
the plant palette.
-Dwarf Arctic Willow gets big, overgrown and leggy. It always gets replaced
with something else after 3-5 years. "Dwarf" in the name is a misnomer. Dwarf Arctic Willow will remain
in the plant palette.
-For future reference, Norway Maples need their trunks WRAPPED in winter for
several years because they sunburn in winter. Norway Maple has been removed from the plant palette.
-Thinleaf Alder is a mountain streamside plant; it's usually ratty in plains
landscapes unless used in a very specific, protected, microclimate garden
setting. Thinleaf Alder will remain in the plant palette.
-You know about aspen's chances - about 50-50. But, they are affordable!
Fastigiate mountainash is a better substitute, but you can try the aspen if you
want. Aspen have been removed from the plant palette and replaced with Cardinal Royal Mountain
Ash.

Topic: Construction Drawings
Comment Number: 1 Comment Originated: 11/04/2015
11/04/2015: The last round of review indicated concerns with utility pedestals
and a fire hydrant placement in relation to the sidewalk along Redwood Street,
ensuring the hydrant is 2 feet off from the sidewalk and that the above ground
pedestals are behind the sidewalk are not between the walk and the curb, and
are behind the sidewalk a minimum of 2 feet. The response indicated that the
sidewalk will need to be adjusted for the hydrant but isn't reflected in the
drawings. Please ensure this is reflected and indicated. Additionally the utility
pedestals didn't seem to be addressed as they appear to be depicted in the
sidewalk.
RESPONSE: The walk has been adjusted to provide min of 2’ separation from the existing hydrant and the associated
access easement outside of right-of-way to accommodate the walk. The remaining pedestals are proposed to be relocated 2’
behind walk within the existing utility easement.
Comment Number: 2 Comment Originated: 11/04/2015
11/04/2015: The grading plan in general is showing less information on the
sheet than the preliminary version in terms of grading at the property boundary.
The pre-hearing version had spot elevations along the property boundary to
indicate existing and imply that everything can be graded within the property.
This information is missing on the final plan version. (There should still be offsite
contours shown at time of final as giving further evidence of how this site will
appear in relation to the existing context surrounding.) Also note that the
property boundary line is not showing on the grading plan.
RESPONSE: Additional detail is shown on the grading plan. The property spot elevations are shown along with two (2) cross
sections to represent the grading work along the south property line.
Comment Number: 5 Comment Originated: 11/04/2015
11/04/2015: The existing 18" storm line along Redwood Street appears to have
insufficient cover within Redwood Street where the drive approach connection
to Redwood Street is made. However, since this appears to be beneath the
concrete pan portion, and not so much the asphalt paving of Redwood Street,
we're not inclined to be concerned with this. The point north where the 18" ties
into the manhole for the storm pipe crossing Redwood may also have cover
requirements not met as well. We should have a quick discussion offline to look
into whether these points of the road widening interacting with the storm line
might have any concerns.
RESPONSE: The existing 18” storm drain is shown within the Redwood sections for reference. In general, the existing
cover over the pipe is not being reduced.
Comment Number: 6 Comment Originated: 11/04/2015
11/04/2015: Please also provide full width cross sections of Redwood Street
(or additional information on Sheet 12 to discern how the new ties into existing,
with the crown and other side of the street cross slopes shown).
RESPONSE: Cross-sections are provided.

Comment Number: 4 Comment Originated: 11/04/2015
11/04/2015: More of an observation than a comment: I was noticing on the
landscape plan that skyline honeylocust is specified as a tree on-site that's in
close proximity to the permeable pavers. At a site visit to Old Town Flats, I was
noticing how honeylocust leaves have ended up embedded in between the
pavers in the permeable area. Might the small leaf aspect be a concern with it
reducing the permeability of the porous paver system (and the maintenance
issues as a result).
Skyline Honeylocust has been eliminated from the parking lot areas and replaced with another
species.

11/04/2015: The community signage shown on the site plan is in the sight
distance easement and its height of 48 inches exceeds the 24 inch height
restriction called out on our sight distance easement plat note. Either the sign
location needs to relocated, or the sign height needs to be modified to be in
accordance with the note.
Suggested adjustments have been made accordingly.

11/03/2015: As outlined in the MOU between the Housing Authority and the
Natural Areas Department, the Housing Authority will donate to Natural Areas
3.745 acres of the west side of the property (the Pond Area) as a public natural
area, which includes the pond and approximately a 50-foot buffer on the east
side of the pond, as required by Secion 3.4.1 (E) of the Land Use Code.
As such, please delineate and label the Natural Habitat Buffer Zone (NHBZ) on
the site, grading, utility, and landscape plan. Please also add an Environmental
Planner signature to all utility plans that show the buffer zone.
RESPONSE: The buffer zone is labeled on the utility plan. The Natural Habitat Buffer Zone will be delineated and labeled on
the site plan and landscape plan.
Comment Number: 2 Comment Originated: 11/03/2015
11/03/2015: A note should be added to the site, landscape, utility, grading, and
storm sewer plan that the natural habitat area is meant to be maintained in a
native landscape. This will help preserve the intention behind the buffer zones
and the natural features into the future and until its ownership and maintenance
is assumed by the Natural Areas Department.
RESPONSE: Note added. A note that states that the Natural Habitat Area will be maintained in a native landscape will be
added to the site and landscape plan.

10/19/2015: The 20’ UE with the 8” water line going north/south has the water
line located directly in the middle of this easement. Water dept. requires
electric to maintain a 10’ separation. If we want to maintain a loop system, we’ll
have to either move the water line a few feet, widen the easement or not have a
loop electric system. I will also have to find a couple locations to place our
electric vaults so we can accommodate the transformer locations.
RESPONSE: The maintenance easement along the west side of the property is now also dedicated as an utility easement
and can be utilized by power.

11/06/2015: The sand filter should be sized for the site area that drains to it.
The LID pond also needs to be contained so the 12-inch ponding depth can be
achieved for the water quality storm. A spillway can be designed to transfer
flows to the large detention pond from the LID pond.

11/13/2015:
Recommended Species Changes:
Norway Maple is only conditionally recommended in the Front Range Tree Recommendation List. Other more adapted canopy
shade tree species should be considered for use in its place as shown as a street tree. Early decline and tree loss is more
probable with use of Norway Maple as a street tree.
Norway Maple has been removed from the plant palette and replaced with another species.
It is possible for these to work well as street trees, but wrapping trunks in winter is critical as sunscald is a certainty
otherwise.
Autumn Blaze Maple does not survive or thrive Long term in Fort Collins area soils. As years go by, they become yellow due to
chlorosis and slowly decline. Few in Fort Collins last more than 15 years. Recommendation: replace the Autumn Blaze Maple
used on the project with another canopy shade tree which is better adapted to the Fort Collins area.
Autumn Blaze Maple has been removed from the plant palette and replaced with another species.
Top choices: Hackberry, Bur oak, Chinkapin oak, Catalpa, Accolade elm, Littleleaf linden, American Linden, Shumard oak

Saskatoon Serviceberry in a native large shrub suitable for planting in the detention pond area. For other locations where service
berry is used using Autumn Brilliance Serviceberry is appropriate for a small tree near buildings. Review an make species
adjustments for Serviceberry.
Aspens are relative short lived trees. Use a more durable ornamental tree such as a proven cultivar of Flowering crab to provide
a much better chance to sustain a functional landscape tree for over 20 years.
Saskatoon Serviceberry is only being used along the detention pond and Aspens have been removed from the plant palette and
replaced with Cardinal Royal Mountain Ash.
