Comment Summary: Department: Planning Services Contact: Meaghan Overton, 970-416-2283, moverton@fcgov.com Topic: Building Elevations Comment Number: 4 Comment Originated: 04/12/2016 04/12/2016: What is the material proposed for the non-metal portions of the building façade? The elevations show “R1” but this refers to a roof system element. The only wall systems I see listed are both metal accent panels. Topic: General Comment Number: 1 Comment Originated: 04/12/2016 04/12/2016: What is the intended use of the asphalt area at the back of the site? Additional screening may be required. Topic: Landscape Plans Comment Number: 2 Comment Originated: 04/12/2016 04/12/2016: The response letter indicated that there is a calculation showing that 6% of the parking lot interior is devoted to landscaping. I don't see that on the landscape plan. Please include this calculation. Comment Number: 3 Comment Originated: 04/12/2016 04/12/2016: There does not appear to be any landscaping in the shrub beds along the northeast lot line or on the southeast lot line. Consider adding shrubs to enhance visual interest, particularly along the southeast side of the building near Midpoint Drive. Topic: Site Plan Comment Number: 5 Comment Originated: 04/12/2016 04/12/2016: A total of 8 bicycle parking spaces will required. The requirement for office use is a minimum of 4 bicycle parking spaces, regardless of the size of the office space. The site plan currently shows 5 bicycle spaces, so 3 more will need to be added. Department: Engineering Development Review Contact: Katie Sexton, 970-221-6501, ksexton@fcgov.com Topic: General Comment Number: 1 Comment Originated: 04/12/2016 04/12/2016: Current driveway configuration does not conform to LCUASS access spacing standards (Table 7-3). A variance request letter will need to be prepared by a PE registered in the State of Colorado which outlines why the current design meets or exceeds the intent of the standard. Comment Number: 2 Comment Originated: 04/12/2016 04/12/2016: Additional right-of-way needs to be dedicated to accommodate the master street planned major collector cross section (LCUASS Figure 7-4F). ROW required for this cross section is 33 feet from the centerline. The sidewalk should be designed and constructed in the ultimate location – the back of walk should be the ROW line. Please label proposed vs existing ROW on site and utility plans. Comment Number: 3 Comment Originated: 04/12/2016 04/12/2016: The existing easement along Midpoint Drive (dedicated by Prospect Industrial Park) appears to be about 6 feet long, which is what is shown on the utility plans. New easement area will need to be dedicated by separate document so that there is a 9 foot easement corridor behind the new ROW line. The proposed easement should be shown on site and utility plans. For more information about dedicating easements by separate document see: http://www.fcgov.com/engineering/pdf/Easrowdedications2010.pdf Comment Number: 4 Comment Originated: 04/12/2016 04/12/2016: A slope easement is shown on the site plan but not the utility plans. Comment Number: 5 Comment Originated: 04/12/2016 04/12/2016: Please show pedestrian ramps on utility plans plan view. Comment Number: 6 Comment Originated: 04/12/2016 04/12/2016: It appears that the fence currently sits in the ROW. This is allowable only with the issuance of a revocable encroachment permit. Encroachments should not be shown on the site plan because the permit can be revoked at any time. Comment Number: 7 Comment Originated: 04/12/2016 04/12/2016: Sidewalk chase detail needs to be updated – I can send this to you if necessary. Comment Number: 8 Comment Originated: 04/12/2016 04/12/2016: Notes 19, 41, EC 16 need to be revised.

Comment Number: 2 Comment Originated: 04/08/2016 04/08/2016: The side slopes of the detention area should vary and range from 4:1 to 20:1 in slope, per the City of Fort Collins Stormwater Standards, which would also create a more naturalistic appearance. Comment Number: 3 Comment Originated: 04/08/2016 04/08/2016: Please add a note to the lighting plan that light fixture B should only be installed in the down-directional configuration.

Comment Number: 3 Comment Originated: 04/13/2016 04/13/2016: If there are any existing trees on site contact the City Forester for an onsite meeting to get tree inventory and protection information.

This transformer does not look to be in a utility easement. Verify that the transformer is in a utility easement. If a utility easement does not exist, one will need to be dedicated for the service to come from this transformer. Comment Number: 2 Comment Originated: 04/11/2016 04/11/2016: Any relocation or modification to existing electric facilities will be at the expense of the owner/developer. If Light & Power’s existing electric facilities are to remain within the limits of the project they must be located within a utility easement. Comment Number: 3 Comment Originated: 04/11/2016 04/11/2016: A C-1 Form and a One-line diagram will need to be submitted to Light & Power Engineering for review.

Comment Number: 3 Comment Originated: 04/12/2016 04/12/2016: It is noted that Basin 1 will be sharing a detention basin with the adjacent property. It doesn't appear that easement will be required as the properties are owned by the same party. Please document the required volume for the adjacent property or include in the basin sizing calculations.

Comment Number: 8 Comment Originated: 04/12/2016 04/12/2016: Please revise methods used to calculate detention volumes as the Urban Drainage spreadsheet used does not use Fort Collins Criteria. Comment Number: 9 Comment Originated: 04/12/2016 04/12/2016: How was the designed outfall rate of 0.14 cfs/acre determined? Please show calculation for 2-year historic runoff rate. Comment Number: 10 Comment Originated: 04/12/2016 04/12/2016: Please expand the drainage report narrative overall to give a better understanding of the proposed development. A number of things are currently unclear with the project including how the LID requirements are being met and what is ultimately being proposed for the 2 detention basins. Are both water quality and LID being proposed for the detention basin bottoms? Please expand to help clarify the overall design. Comment Number: 11 Comment Originated: 04/12/2016 04/12/2016: Please discuss and document how LID requirements are being met.
