Comment Summary: Department: Planning Services Contact: Meaghan Overton, 970-416-2283, moverton@fcgov.com Topic: General Comment Number: 3. Comment Originated: 12/23/2015 03/23/2016: The revised site plan does not appear to include a connecting walkway from the building to the public sidewalk. In addition, there is no walkway delineated from the parking lot to the building entrance. Please clarify and clearly show a walkway from the public sidewalk along S. College to the main entrance of the building, and from the parking lot to the main entrance of the building. The walkway shown along the property line of Lot 3 does not meet the requirement for a connecting walkway from S. College to the building entrance for Lot 1. 12/23/2015: A connecting walkway will be required that connects the building entrance to the public sidewalk on S. College. Comment Number: 4. Comment Originated: 12/23/2015 03/23/2016: A walkway is now shown within an easement along the property line of Lot 3, stubbed to the west property line of Lot 1. Note that this walkway and any other connecting walkways must be 6 feet wide, instead of the 5 feet currently proposed, as required in Section 3.2.2(C)(5) of the Land Use Code. 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. Comment Number: 5. Comment Originated: 12/23/2015 03/23/2016: The width of the access/emergency/utility easement shown on the plat does not match the easement noted on the site and landscape plans. As currently shown, the walkway along the property line of Lot 3 is not included in the easement on the plat. Please adjust the plat to reflect the boundaries of the easement as shown on the site and landscape plans. 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? Comment Number: 6. Comment Originated: 12/23/2015 03/23/2016: Additional landscaping has been added. Please clarify whether Fountain Grass or Feathergrass will be planted - the Landscaping Schedule notes Fountain Grass, but the Latin name Pennisetum alopecuroides refers to Feathergrass. 12/23/2015: Additional landscaping needs to be added along the north side of the new Grow Barn. Comment Number: 8. Comment Originated: 12/23/2015 03/23/2016: Redlines are available at the front counter. 12/23/2015: Redline plans are available at the front counter. Comment Number: 9. Comment Originated: 03/23/2016 03/23/2016: Comments from the South Fort Collins Sanitation District and the Fort Collins-Loveland Water District indicate that the issues and concerns from the last round of review (letter dated 12.22.15) have not been addressed. The District requires another round of review. Please see letter dated 3.21.16, sent to you via email. A copy of this letter is also available at the front counter.

Department: Stormwater Engineering Contact: Heather McDowell, 970-224-6065, hmcdowell@fcgov.com Topic: Construction Drawings Comment Number: 4 Comment Originated: 12/14/2015 03/15/2016: Your response indicated that a "bioretention sediment trap forebay" has been included in the detention pond, please show this element on the grading plan instead of the erosion control plan, as this is not an erosion control measure, its a stormwater quality measure. 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. Topic: Drainage Report Comment Number: 5 Comment Originated: 12/14/2015 03/15/2016: It looks like runoff is now calculated using City of Fort Collins rainfall data, but the detention basins have been sized using UDFCD criteria and rainfall. Please use your own mass balance spreadsheet to calculate detention volumes. The City has a template for this if you need it. Please contact Heather McDowell at 224-6065 for the file. 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. Topic: General Comment Number: 6 Comment Originated: 12/14/2015 03/15/2016: Existing and proposed impervious areas still need to be provided somewhere in the plans. This is needed to calculate stormwater fees. Fees are based upon additional amount of imperviousness. 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. Comment Number: 7 Comment Originated: 12/14/2015 03/15/2016: Please clarify in the narrative of the report what the allowable release rate is from the site (2-yr historic rate minus undetained basins) 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. Comment Number: 9 Comment Originated: 12/14/2015 03/15/2016: The LID ordinance has been updated to the following requirements: Option A: no less than 75% of any newly developed or redeveloped areas must be treated using one or a combination of LID techniques Option B: no less than 50% of any newly developed or redeveloped areas must be treating using one or a combination of LID techniques; and permeable pavement must cover 25% of driveable surfaces. Please include calculations and an exhibit showing how you meet the percentage requirements. The bioretention calculation can be done using the UDFCD RG spreadsheet. 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.

Contact: Jesse Schlam, 970-218-2932, jschlam@fcgov.com Topic: Erosion Control Comment Number: 1 Comment Originated: 12/08/2015 3/9/2016: The submitted erosion control plan sheet has redlines that need to be addressed based upon the changes to the plan. The erosion control report was to the pre 2012 (old) standards. The Storm Drainage Criteria manual was updated back in December of 2012; since that time, all materials have met those standards. Please reference the accompanying document provided in the erosion control report to help meet current standards for an eroison control report. Erosion Control Escrow Calculation will also need to be provided and example of that escrow calculation and the accompanying document can be found at www.fcgov.com/erosion 12/08/2015: The site disturbs more than 10,000 sq-ft, therefore Erosion and Sediment Control Materials need to be submitted. The erosion control requirements are in the Stormwater Design Criteria under the Amendments of Volume 3 Chapter 7 Section 1.3.3. Current Erosion Control Materials Submitted do not meet requirements. Please submit; Erosion Control Plan (Has redlines), Erosion Control Report (Was not found or was not routed), and an Escrow / Security Calculation (Was not found or was not routed).
