Topic: General
Comment Number: 1. Comment Originated: 12/23/2015
12/23/2015: A public sidewalk will be required along South College Avenue.
Hauser Architects Response: An 8 foot sidewalk was added along S. College Ave. Please
note that no sidewalks exist on adjacent properties to the north and south.
Forbes Engineering Response: Public sidewalk has been added
Comment Number: 2. Comment Originated: 12/23/2015
12/23/2015: An additional street tree will be required in the parkway along S.
College.
Hauser Architects Response: Added. Please refer to Landscape Plan, Sheet L1.
Comment Number: 3. Comment Originated: 12/23/2015
12/23/2015: A connecting walkway will be required that connects the building
entrance to the public sidewalk on S. College.
Hauser Architects Response: A connection is provided to the building main entrance. The
connection is from the south side of the main drive and crosses with a sidewalk ramp and a
painted crosswalk. This provides access to the new accessible ramp located on the south
3
side of the building.
Forbes Engineering Response: Sidewalk connection added.
Comment Number: 4. Comment Originated: 12/23/2015
12/23/2015: A connecting walkway needs to be stubbed to the west property
line so that when Lot Two re-develops or changes use, then it will also be
connected to the public sidewalk along S. College. This connecting walkway
must be placed within an Access Easement. The purpose is to coordinate
future re-development with the current project to avoid more difficult issues in
the future.
Hauser Architects Response: A new 5 foot wide sidewalk is provided on the south side of
the new drive.
Forbes Engineering Response: Noted
Comment Number: 5. Comment Originated: 12/23/2015
12/23/2015: The plat indicates that the southerly property line for Lot 1 is not
the south edge of the Emergency Access Easement but, rather, extends 7.09
feet beyond. What is the purpose of leaving a 7.09-foot wide strip along the
south property line? Technically, this means that this strip needs to be
landscaped which, given its location, would be difficult to irrigate and maintain.
Why not place this strip within the boundary of Lot 3?
Hauser Architects Response: The drive / EAE was moved south to the property line.
Forbes Engineering Response: Easement now extends to common property line.
Stewart and Associates Response: This has been revised, as the emergency access has
changed, allowing the North line of Lot 3 to be on the South line of the emergency access
easement, deleting any strip in between.
Comment Number: 6. Comment Originated: 12/23/2015
12/23/2015: Additional landscaping needs to be added along the north side of
the new Grow Barn.
Hauser Architects Response: Additional landscaping was provided on the north side of the
barn. It is very important to the building's production (grow facility) to provide plants
that will not disturb or contaminate the growing plants. I went over the different plant
species with the tenant and we decided to use grasses as these are less likely to damage any
growing in the grow barn.
Comment Number: 7. Comment Originated: 12/23/2015
12/23/2015: The trash enclosure does not appear to be sized to include
containers for recyclable materials. Please consult with the selected
trash/recycle hauler as to the dimensions for a properly sized container(s) and
enlarge the enclosure as necessary.
Hauser Architects Response: The trash enclosure size was increased and a "man" door
was provided on the back side. This increase allows room for (2) 95 gallon recycle carts.
Comment Number: 8. Comment Originated: 12/23/2015
12/23/2015: Redline plans are available at the front counter.

12/21/2015: Proposed sidewalk along college is not shown on the plans. The
project will be responsible for designing and installing an 8' sidewalk per
CDOT's US-287 plan. The sidewalk should connect to the bus stop to the south.
The sidewalk should comply with current ADA standards.
Forbes Engineering Response: Added sidewalk
Comment Number: 2 Comment Originated: 12/21/2015
12/21/2015: The existing driveway will need to be reconstructed if it is not
currently ADA compliant.
Forbes Engineering Response: The walkways, not the driveway are ADA compliant

Comment Number: 1 Comment Originated: 12/22/2015
12/22/2015: As per previous comments, the site and landscape plans should
reference the Ecological Characterization Study from a neighboring property for
landscape enhancements along the ditch on the north end of the property. This
ECS was emailed to the applicant, with tables 5 and 7 as references for seed
mixes, as well as recommended trees and shrubs.
Hauser Architects Response: This study was received and reviewed. The Louden Ditch
referenced in this study is located off our properties and is approximately 25 feet south
west of the south west corner of Lot 2. An exhibit was emailed to you 2/19 to clarify this.
Comment Number: 2 Comment Originated: 12/22/2015
12/22/2015: Please submit a revised landscape plan indicating roughly a 50'
landscape buffer along the ditch on the north end of the property, with groupings
of native plants to form habitat thickets within the buffer area.
Hauser Architects Response: The north ditch is an abandoned irrigation spur that's no
longer connected to Louden Ditch. Again, this was identified with the exhibit.
Comment Number: 3 Comment Originated: 12/22/2015
12/22/2015: Please add the following note to the site and landscape plans:
The Natural Habitat Buffer Zone (NHBZ) is meant to be maintained in a
5
native landscape.
Hauser Architects Response: The NHBZ is identified on the SW corner of Lot 2. Lot 2 is
not a part of the BDR and landscaping shall not be required.
Forbes Engineering Response: This does not apply to the construction set.
Comment Number: 4 Comment Originated: 12/22/2015
12/22/2015: With respect to lighting, the City of Fort Collins Land Use Code, in
Article 3.2.4(D)(6) requires that "natural areas and natural features shall be
protected from light spillage from off-site sources." Thus, lighting from the
buildings or other site amenities shall not spill over to the buffer areas.
SRB Response: Natural areas not applicable for this project.
Comment Number: 5 Comment Originated: 12/22/2015
12/22/2015: 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. Please also consider fixtures with dimming
capabilities.
Hauser Architects Response: Refer to Photometric plan for exterior lighting cut-sheets.
SRB Response: Exterior fixtures are specified with 3000K and 3500k color temperature
lamping. Dimming exterior fixtures is not applicable.

12/28/2015:
Contact the City Forester for an on-site meeting to evaluate and inventory
exiting trees on the site and determine if any mitigation for tree removal is
required.
Hauser Architects Response: A meeting took place last fall with the Tennant (Dave
Watson with Kind Care) and Ted Sheppard. Mitigation took place as result of this
meeting.

Comment Number: 3 Comment Originated: 12/21/2015
12/21/2015: If electric power lines cross between lots, then electric/utility
easements will have to be utilized.
Stewart and Associates Response: There is a utility easement in the emergency access
easement that can serve all lots.
Comment Number: 4 Comment Originated: 12/21/2015
12/21/2015: d.) Please contact Todd Vedder with Light & Power Engineering

12/21/2015: c.) Contact Light and Power Engineering to coordinate the
transformer and electric meter locations, please show these locations on the
utility plans. Transformers need to have an 8’ frontal and 3’ side/rear clearance.
It also has to be 10’ within a drivable surface and cannot be located under the
drip zone of any trees.
Forbes Engineering Response: The proposed sidewalk has been aligned to miss the existing
transformer with the required clearances

12/29/2015: FIRE LANES
Fire access is required to within 150' of all exterior portions of all new and
existing building perimeters. This distance is measured along an approved path
of travel, which in this case, would be as a fire hose is laid from a parked engine
around the building. The response letter dated December 2, 2015 indicates,
"The entire perimeter of the new/existing building is within 150' from the fire
7
access easement," however my assessment indicates this condition has not
been achieved at Lot 1 (which is approximately 55' out of access), nor for the
existing building at Lot 2 (which is approximately 220' out of access). Please
contact me should you require further assistance with code interpretation or fire
lane design. Code language provided below.
> IFC 503.1.1: Approved fire Lanes shall be provided for every facility, building
or portion of a building hereafter constructed or moved into or within the
jurisdiction. The fire apparatus access road shall comply with the requirements
of this section and shall extend to within 150 feet of all portions of the facility and
all portions of the exterior walls of the first story of the building as measured by
an approved route around the exterior of the building or facility. When any
portion of the facility or any portion of an exterior wall of the first story of the
building is located more than 150 feet from fire apparatus access, the fire code
official is authorized to increase the dimension if the building is equipped
throughout with an approved, automatic fire-sprinkler system.
Hauser Architects Response: The Emergency Access Easement was revised. Full 150'
coverage is provided around the new/existing buildings on Lot 1 and also the existing
building on Lot 2. Please refer to the Emergency Access Plan on Sheet BDR2.
Comment Number: 2 Comment Originated: 12/29/2015
12/29/2015: EMERGENCY ACCESS EASEMENT
The easement shall be dedicated and labeled as an Emergency Access
Easement (EAE) rather than Fire Access Easement as currently shown on the
plans.
Hauser Architects Response: The EAE was revised. The cul-de-sac was eliminated and a
"hammer-head" turn was provided. The western "leg" exceeds the maximum 150'
maximum distance and we ask for a variance as this is our only option. To provide enough
coverage this "leg" is 197.3' (exceeds the maximum distance by 47.3') A cul-de-sac would
eliminate a large portion of the storage yard. Please refer to Sheet BDR 1 and refer to the
Emergency Access Plan on Sheet BDR2.
Forbes Engineering Response: Noted and revised
Stewart and Associates Response: The plat already labeled it as an emergency access
easement
Comment Number: 3 Comment Originated: 12/29/2015
12/29/2015: CUL-DE-SACS
Cul-de-sac turnarounds are required to be 100' in diameter to allow for
continuous movement of fire apparatus. The proposed diameter is shown as 80'
rather than 100'. One option would be to increase the diameter to 100'. Another
may be to incorporate a hammerhead turning movement on site, allowable by
code, rather than the circular turnaround. Depending upon design and
placement, a hammerhead may also allow the out of access condition in Lot 1
8
to be reduced to an acceptable measure. Hammerhead turning movement will
require 25' inside turning radii and a minimum "leg" of 50' each. Code language
provided below. Special approval of the fire marshal will be required in order to
reduce the diameter to 80'.
> FCLUC 3.6.2(B): Cul-de-sacs are permitted only if they do not exceed 660
feet in length and have a turnaround at the end with a minimum outside turning
radius of 50 feet (100 foot diameter).
Hauser Architects Response: Acknowledged.
Comment Number: 4 Comment Originated: 12/29/2015
12/29/2015: FIRE LANE SPECIFICATIONS
Fire lane specifications call for hard surfaces which shall be designed to carry
40 ton minimum load limits. The proposed gravel area overlapping with the
Emergency Access Easement shown in the current plan is not allowed without
special approval of the fire marshal. Fire lane specifications provided below.
Forbes Engineering Response: Fire lans specifications have been added to the plan set
FIRE LANE SPECIFICATIONS
A fire lane plan shall be submitted for approval prior to installation. In addition to
the design criteria already contained in relevant standards and policies, any
new fire lane must meet the following general requirements:
> Shall be designated on the plat as an Emergency Access Easement.
> Maintain the required 20 foot minimum unobstructed width & 14 foot minimum
overhead clearance.
> Be designed as a flat, hard, all-weather driving surface capable of supporting
40 tons.
> Dead-end fire access roads in excess of 150 feet in length shall be provided
with an approved area for turning around fire apparatus.
> The required turning radii of a fire apparatus access road shall be a minimum
of 25 feet inside and 50 feet outside. Turning radii shall be detailed on
submitted plans.
> Be visible by painting and/or signage, and maintained unobstructed at all
times.
> Additional access requirements exist for buildings greater than 30' in height.
Refer to Appendix D of the 2012 IFC or contact PFA for details.

12/14/2015: Sheet C1.1 - Horizontal Control Plan
- It is difficult to tell which buildings are existing and which ones are proposed on
this plan. Consider using shading or hatching to differentiate existing site
features with proposed ones.
- Provide a separate Existing Conditions Plan to show the existing site features.
9
Forbes Engineering Response: Hatching has been added as suggested, though any
contractor unaware of the difference between the existing and proposed buildings would
not be hired. The existing conditions plan is provided in the drainage report and is not
part of a construction set (it would just be redundant information with the site plan).
Comment Number: 3 Comment Originated: 12/14/2015
12/14/2015: Sheet C2.0 – Utility Plan
- Some layers are not very visible on this plan – please modify plot styles to
make this plan more readable.
- It is not clear which, if any, storm drains are existing and which ones are
proposed. This plan needs to also clearly label all storm pipe sizes and inlet
locations and sizes.
Forbes Engineering Response: Noted and lines darkened. Pipe information is on the C3.0
grading & drainage plan
Comment Number: 4 Comment Originated: 12/14/2015
12/14/2015: Sheet C3.0 - Grading Plan
- Existing and proposed stormwater piping needs to be clearly labeled.
- The outlet structure for the detention pond needs to be an extended detention
outlet structure per Fort Collins standards. The updated strcture needs to be
drawn in the plans to scale.
- Detention pond information needs to be included in the plan. This info
includes: 100-yr water surface elevation, water quality surface elevation, release
rates, pond volume.
- LID techniques need to be clearly shown and sized on the plans.
Forbes Engineering Response: Stormwater pipes are labeled. The outlet structure has
been updated. Detention pond information is included in the drainage report (see
Proposed drainage plan D1.0), again redundant information and not something that the
contractor needs for construction, it just clutters up the construction set.
A bioretention sediment trap forebay has been included in the detention pond.
Topic: Drainage Report
Comment Number: 5 Comment Originated: 12/14/2015
12/14/2015: Drainage was analyzed using Larimer County Stormwater Design
Standards. This project lies within the City of Fort Collins and the drainage
evaluation needs to be performed using the Fort Collins Stormwater Criteria
Manual and Fort Collins rainfall data.
Forbes Engineering Response: The analysis has been changed to conform to the FCSCM,
the Fort Collins rainfall data was used in the original report
Topic: General
Comment Number: 6 Comment Originated: 12/14/2015
12/14/2015: The surface areas included in the Existing Site Conditions and
Proposed Site Conditions exhibits need to be verified and coordinated with the
Site Plan. Existing and Proposed impervious square footages also need to be
included on these exhibits.
Forbes Engineering Response: Noted and revised
Comment Number: 7 Comment Originated: 12/14/2015

12/14/2015: This report needs to clarify which basins are running through and
into the detention pond. All site runoff needs to be captured into the extended
detention basin. If not all stormwater runoff can be routed toward and captured
in the detention basin, then over-detention will need to be provided so that the
overall release rate from the site is not exceeding the 2-year historic rate.
Forbes Engineering Response: The report clearly shows that SBA & SBB are detained by
the pond with SBC sheet flowing undetained, it is also described in the narrative. The site
has off-site flows (west side) and the pond has been sized for over-detention.
Comment Number: 8 Comment Originated: 12/14/2015
12/14/2015: Fifty percent of the site runoff is required to be treated using the
standard water quality treatment as described in the Fort Collins Stormwater
Manual, Volume 3-Best Management Practices (BMPs).
(http://www.fcgov.com/utilities/business/builders-and-developers/development-f
orms-guidelines-regulations/stormwater-criteria) Extended detention is the
usual method selected for water quality treatment; however the use of any of the
BMPs is encouraged.
Forbes Engineering Response: Extended detention with WQCV was shown in the report
though the outlet structure did not correspond, this has been revised.
Comment Number: 9 Comment Originated: 12/14/2015
12/14/2015: Low Impact Development (LID) is required for this site. LID
requires a higher degree of water quality treatment for 50% of the new
impervious area and 25% of new paved areas must be pervious. Standard
operating procedures (SOPs) for all onsite drainage facilities will be included
as part of the Development Agreement. More information and links can be
found at:
http://www.fcgov.com/utilities/what-we-do/stormwater/stormwater-quality/low-im
pact-development
Forbes Engineering Response: LID and LID detail has been added to the plan set
Comment Number: 10 Comment Originated: 12/14/2015
12/14/2015: An LID exhibit needs to be included in the drainage report to show
which areas of the site are contributing/draining to each LID feature. If you
propose any volume-based LID systems such as bioretention areas, the WQCV
calculations need to also be provided.
Forbes Engineering Response: Noted
Comment Number: 11
Comment Originated: 12/14/2015
12/14/2015: Detention pond sizing calculations can be the Modified FAA
method, but need to be done using Fort Collins Rainfall data. Typically, a
spreadsheet that is not derived from UDFCD is utilized.
Forbes Engineering Response: Noted and revised
Comment Number: 12 Comment Originated: 12/14/2015
12/14/2015: The detention pond sizing needs to be based upon a 2-year
11
historic release rate from the site. This calculated release rate needs to be
clearly shown how it was derived in the report.
Forbes Engineering Response: The 2-year historic release rate and the calculations are
shown in the report, see Existing & proposed stormwater run-off calculations provided in
the report. Note, recommended runoff coefficients have been modified to suit Table R0-11
Comment Number: 13 Comment Originated: 12/14/2015
12/14/2015: The proposed inlet requires hydraulic calculation to verify that the
proposed size is adequate.

outright. Placing a statement on the plat is not necessary and completely ridiculous,
although I did it anyway. It is obvious if there is no lienholder signature block, that there is
no lienholder.

12/22/2015: Please provide current acceptable monument records for the
aliquot corners shown. These should be emailed directly to Jeff at
jcounty@fcgov.com
Stewart and Associates Response: Monument records have been emailed to Jeff County.
These are available just as easily to City staff as they are to private business. Finding these
monument records and emailing them to the City is really unnecessary and only drives up
the cost to the client, when the City can easily obtain them.

12/22/2015: College Avenue is a state highway and is under the jurisdiction of
the Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT). They may require a
change in use permit for the access point (depending on the traffic numbers
noted above). They will also indicated whether the access can stay full
movement or if left turns need to be restricted in some way.
Hauser Architects Response: A "right-in / right-out" island was added to the entrance off
College Avenue.
