If you have questions about any comments, you may contact the individual commenter or direct your questions through the Project Planner, Ted Shepard, at 970-221-6343 or tshepard@fcgov.com. Comment Summary: Department: Engineering Development Review Contact: Marc Ragasa, 970.221.6603, mragasa@fcgov.com Topic: General Comment Number: 1 Comment Originated: 09/14/2016 09/14/2016: It appears that the three buildings touch the edges of the building envelopes. I'm not sure if the building footprint accounts for foundation walls or roof overhangs, but these also need to remain within the building envelope. Please adjust the plat to include these areas. RESPONSE: The plat has been revised for the correct building locations. Comment Number: 2 Comment Originated: 09/14/2016 09/14/2016: A 6' Detached sidewalk will be needed along South Shields Street. If a sidewalk can't be put in within the public right of way to avoid trees, they can be routed behind the trees. Please adjust the plat to have these sidewalks within access easements. RESPONSE: The walk has been moved to the right of way line and a new tree lawn will be planted. Moving the walk west of the trees is not a desirable location for the adjacent building. Comment Number: 3 Comment Originated: 09/14/2016 09/14/2016: Based on a site visit, it appears that the southern tree along the property frontage is half dead. Please work with Forestry to see if this tree can also be removed. This will help with providing a detached sidewalk along Shields Street. RESPONSE: The tree is now shown to be removed. Department: Environmental Planning Contact: Stephanie Blochowiak, 970-416-4290, sblochowiak@fcgov.com Topic: General Comment Number: 1 Comment Originated: 09/09/2016 09/09/2016: The City of Fort Collins Land Use Code requires that to the extent reasonably feasible, all plans be designed to incorporate water conservation materials and techniques [3.2.1E(3)]. This includes use of low- water-use plants and grasses in landscaping or re-landscaping and reducing bluegrass lawns as much as possible. Native plants and wildlife-friendly (ex: pollinators; songbirds) landscaping and maintenance are highly encouraged; plantings should include appropriate native vegetation, species diversity and variety in vertical structure. RESPONSE: Acknowledged. a. Suggest change from Ribes alpinum (Alpine currant) to: Ribes aureum (Golden currant) and/or Ribes cereum (Wax currant) that are more adapted to City of Fort Collins elevation(s). RESPONSE: Species have been changed. b. Suggest change from Euonymus alatus compactus (Dwarf burning bush) to a native shrub perhaps: Prunus americana (American plum), Threeleaf sumac (Rhus trilobata), Rosa woodsii (Woods rose) and/or Amelanchier alnifolia (Saskatoon serviceberry). RESPONSE: We have changed the plant species. Several resources are available to aid in native plant choices. For example, the Fort Collins Native Plants document available online and published by the City of Fort Collins Natural Areas Department for guidance on appropriate native plants for our CO Foothills ecotype; the link is: http://www.fcgov.com/naturalareas/pdf/nativeplants2013.pdf. Additionally the Colorado Native Plant Society suggestions for the Front Range of Colorado: https://conps.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/Suggested-Native-Plants_0408.pdf RESPONSE: Acknowledged. Comment Number: 2 Comment Originated: 09/09/2016 09/09/2016: On General Landscape Notes: remove notes 17, 19, 20, and 21 as there is no natural habitat buffer zone or enhancement area required for this site at this time. Let’s discuss further during Staff Review meeting on 9/14/16. RESPONSE: The notes have been removed. Comment Number: 3 Comment Originated: 09/09/2016 09/09/2016: Thank you for providing a photometric plan with this PDP submittal and luminaire schedule. Environmental Planning Staff reiterate comment from Preliminary Design Review regarding site lighting and decreasing the amount of blue lighting. On current plans the only luminaire scheduled to have a corrected color temperate of 3000K or less are the FF luminaires, with the AA, BB, CC, DD and GG luminaires scheduled at 5000K. RESPONSE: Fixtures have been changed to be scheduled at 3000k or less. Staff highly suggest selecting 3000K or less luminaires for all light fixtures due to City resident complaints of both brightness and color of LED lighting in particular. Additionally, selecting 3000K or less luminaires aligns with recommendations from both The American Medical Association (AMA) and International Dark-Sky Association (IDA). Blue light brightens the night sky and creates more glare than any other color of light. Both LED and metal halide fixtures contain large amounts of blue light in their spectrum, and exposure to blue light at night has been shown to harm human health and endanger wildlife, in part through influence on circadian (biological) rhythms including sleep patterns. Therefore, use of warmer color temperature (warm white, 3000K or less) for light fixtures is preferred in addition to fixtures with dimming capabilities. For further information regarding health effects please see: http://darksky.org/ama-report-affirms-human-health-impacts-from-leds/ Please see additional comments from Current Planning on site lighting. RESPONSE: Fixtures have been changed to be scheduled at 3000k or less. Comment Number: 4 Comment Originated: 09/09/2016 09/09/2016: The site is not currently within a 10-minute walk of any parks or natural areas, which is a priority of the Nature in the City Strategic Plan. Also note LUC 3.8.30(C) requiring all development projects be within 1,320 ft (1/4 mile) of either a neighborhood park, a privately owned park or a central feature or gathering place that is located either within the project or within adjacent development. Let’s discuss further during Staff Review meeting on 9/14/16. RESPONSE: We will be providing a Modification request. Comment Number: 5 Comment Originated: 09/09/2016 09/09/2016: Our city has an established identity as a forward-thinking community that cares about the quality of life it offers its citizens now and into the future.

This standard is to provide canopy shade trees at 30-40 feet. To meet this standard new tree should be placed in addition to the existing trees. RESPONSE: The variance request was denied by Engineering so the walk is now detached. The existing coffeetrees will need to be removed and new street trees are shown in the tree lawn. Comment Number: 2 Comment Originated: 09/16/2016 09/16/2016: There appears to be a few things in the tree inventory that needs to be changed or added: 1. Tree number 4 is a cottonwood. RESPONSE: Changed. 2. Some of the trees listed in the table to retain or remove are different then what is stated in the text by existing trees. RESPONSE: This has been fixed. 3. Check for consistency in species identification. Tree number 5 is listed as a juniper in one place and a Douglas fir in another. Also this tree is shown for retention in one place and removal in another. RESPONSE: Notes fixed. 4. Place X on trees to be removed to make it easier to see those on the plan. RESPONSE: An X has been added. 5. Add a column to the Tree inventory table that is titled reason for removal and provide a brief statement explaining the reason for removal for those trees. RESPONSE: Added. 6. There may be a few trees on the south side of the project which were the last ones to be inventoried that are not shown. RESPONSE: Comment Number: 3 Comment Originated: 09/16/2016 09/16/2016: Check percentage of species used and make quantity adjustments if needed that meet the LUC 3.2.1 D 3 Minimum Species Diversity Standard. Limited species diversity is provided on this submittal and could be addressed on the next submittal. RESPONSE: Additional trees have been added to increase diversity. Comment Number: 4 Comment Originated: 09/16/2016 09/16/2016: The two existing coffeetrees along Shields to retain appear to be near a storm drain line. Is this line existing or proposed? These trees are a prominent element on the project and should be retained. If it is a proposed line it appears there will be significant impact to the root systems of these significant trees. If the line is proposed coordinated a utility location to accommodate these trees by protecting an adequate portion of their root zones. RESPONSE: The storm line is existing. Comment Number: 5 Comment Originated: 09/16/2016 09/16/2016: Comments pertaining to additional trees and species selection: 1. Some parking lot peninsula areas should have canopy trees added wherever feasible. RESPONSE: We have provided canopy trees where feasible. Some islands either have a water meter pit or a fire hydrant so the trees will not fit due to separation requirements. 2. On the south perimeter landscape area can some additional Spring Snow Crabapples be added? RESPONSE: Additional trees have been added. 3. It appears in a couple of the wider landscape areas near buildings a smaller ornamental tree might be added. RESPONSE: Additional ornamental trees have been added. 4. Understory trees might be able to be used along the north boundary where Siberian elms have been retained. RESPONSE: Trees have been added. 5. Explore use of some smaller and narrower conifer trees in appropriate landscape areas where space is somewhat limited. These could provide some valuable contrast to the dominate deciduous material. Arnolds Sentinel Austrian Pine Iseli Fastigiate Spruce Columnar Norway spruce RESPONSE: Additional trees have been added. 6. Evaluate increasing the number of species of trees used on the project and incorporate on final plan. RESPONSE: Acknowledged. 7. English Oak was damaged in recent freezes so the project might be able to provide a more durable tree with another species of oak. RESPONSE: English oak has been changed.

There are also 3phase electric facilities running adjacent to the site along Shields St. Power for this site will most likely come from Shields street. RESPONSE: Acknowledged. Comment Number: 2 Comment Originated: 09/13/2016 09/13/2016: 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. RESPONSE: Acknowledged. Comment Number: 3 Comment Originated: 09/13/2016 09/13/2016: Transformer locations will need to be coordinated with Light & Power. Transformers must be placed within 10 ft of a drivable surface for installation and maintenance purposes. The transformer must also have a front clearance of 10 ft and side/rear clearance of 3 ft minimum. Please show proposed transformer locations on the utility and site plans. RESPONSE: Transformer locations are shown on the site and utility plans. Comment Number: 4 Comment Originated: 09/13/2016 09/13/2016: Light and Power will most likely need to extend primary lines into the site to feed transformers for the buildings. 10ft minimum separation is needed between all water, sewer, storm water, and gas main lines. Transformer locations are needed to determine the electric primary route. Utility easements may need to be adjusted to accommodate separation requirements. RESPONSE: Transformer locations are shown on the site and utility plans.

RESPONSE: Acknowledged. Department: Planning Services Contact: Ted Shepard, 970-221-6343, tshepard@fcgov.com Topic: General Comment Number: 1 Comment Originated: 09/13/2016 09/13/2016: To improve pedestrian connectivity to the south, please consider adding a 4.5 foot wide attached walk to the west side of the 40-foot access easement. Sections 3.2.2(B)(C) place an emphasis on linking sites with walkways that are continuous and safe to create a pedestrian-friendly environment. RESPONSE: We are currently showing a 4’ wide striped area for pedestrians. Comment Number: 2 Comment Originated: 09/13/2016 09/13/2016: Further discussion is needed with regard to the response to PDR comment number nine from Planning regarding compliance with Section 3.8.30(C). Since the site is greater than one- quarter mile from both Rossborough Park and Rocky Mountain High School, a private park or an on-site central feature or gathering space is required. For sites that are greater than two acres, this private park must be no less than 10,000 square feet. RESPONSE: We will need a Modification of Standard. Comment Number: 3 Comment Originated: 09/13/2016 09/13/2016: The Planning Response Letter indicates approximately 6,000 square feet is available for an on-site central feature or gathering place but there is no detail as to the location or the specific amenities that would be provided. We need to see how close the project comes to meeting the underlying intent of the standard given the size of the site (2.9 acres) and its context within the surrounding area (infill redevelopment). Staff recommends that a combination of active and passive amenities be considered and placed where feasible. Active uses could include any combination of the following: tot lot, picnic facility (gazebo, pergola, picnic tables, grilling), dog walking station, etc. Passive amenities may include irrigated turf, perennial flower beds, living walls (trellis structures with climbing plants,) etc. RESPONSE: We have shown an outdoor space north of Building B. This consists of a pergola / shade structure with patio tables, bbq grills and a fire pit. The center island contains another shade structure and a small dog park. These areas are approximately 2,000 sq. ft. Comment Number: 4 Comment Originated: 09/13/2016 09/13/2016: As mentioned in the Planning Response Letter, a Modification of Standard may be needed. Please note the criteria by which a Modification may be considered. Section 2.8.2(H)(1, 3,4) are the criteria for a Modification of Standard any one of which would act as a justification. For the next submittal, if the standard cannot be met, please submit a request for a Modification that specifically addresses one of these criteria. RESPONSE: We will be requesting a Modification of Standard. Comment Number: 5 Comment Originated: 09/13/2016 09/13/2016: Along the north property line: per 3.8.30(F), a 25 foot buffer yard is required along the north and south property lines. Staff recommends that buffering along the north consist of a six foot solid wood fence, with masonry columns (with capstones) at the property corners of all the abutting lots. Behind the two garages, low shrubs that will not exceed six feet at maturing will not contribute to buffering. Instead, please consider upright or columnar evergreens (i.e. Skyrocket or Woodward Junipers or others) in order to achieve a height over six feet to complement the solid fence. RESPONSE: We have added the fence to the site, landscape and utility plans and have shown a fence detail on Sheet L2 of the landscape plan set. Comment Number: 6 Comment Originated: 09/13/2016 09/13/2016: On the south property line, perhaps a case could be made that the owner has indicated re-developing the site and the buffering may not have to be as comprehensive. In any event, a Modification of Standard needs to be requested. RESPONSE: We will provide a Modification. The building is 17.9’ from the property line. Comment Number: 7 Comment Originated: 09/13/2016 09/13/2016: On the Landscape Plan, there appears to be a gap in the street trees along Shields. Please fill in this gap with a street tree. Perhaps this tree can be up-sized as part of the tree mitigation plan. RESPONSE: As discussed, the sidewalks is now detached with a new tree lawn. We have added street trees on the landscape plan. Comment Number: 8 Comment Originated: 09/13/2016 09/13/2016: On the north side of Building C, there are two landscape islands that do not have shade trees. Is there a compelling reason these islands do not have trees? RESPONSE: We have added trees in the landscape islands, except for the eastern island which contains a fire hydrant. Comment Number: 9 Comment Originated: 09/13/2016 09/13/2016: On the Tree Mitigation Plan, in the Existing Tree Schedule, the column heading states “Common Name” but only the Latin names are provided. While reading Latin names is only moderately interesting to those who are not horticulturists, the common names are bit more user- friendly to the average person. RESPONSE: Common names have been added. Comment Number: 10 Comment Originated: 09/13/2016 09/13/2016: On the Tree Mitigation Plan, tree number five is listed as not to be removed and yet there is 1.5 inch caliper mitigation required. Please explain or reconcile. RESPONSE: This has been fixed. Comment Number: 11 Comment Originated: 09/13/2016 09/13/2016: On both the Site and Landscape Plans, be sure to note the location of the electrical transformer. Please show how this is screened from view from Shields Street. RESPONSE: The transformers are now shown on the plans. Comment Number: 12 Comment Originated: 09/13/2016 09/13/2016: On the Architectural Elevations, please create a distinct entry feature per building. As presently indicated, all three buildings include the identical entry design. Each building must have its own unique entry to avoid repetition and comply with Section 3.8.30(F)(2). RESPONSE: Building elevations have been changed to include a unique entry design for each building. The roof forms have also been modified to incorporate a matching form. Comment Number: 13 Comment Originated: 09/13/2016 09/13/2016: Please explore other opportunities to create distinctions among the three buildings to comply with the aforementioned standard. As presently indicated, distinctions are subtle and seem to consist of slight variations among repeated elements. Has the applicant considered a material change that distinguishes one building from another? RESPONSE: Building elevations have been changed to incorporate different color schemes and material changes. Comment Number: 14 Comment Originated: 09/13/2016 09/13/2016: On the Architectural Elevations sheet A-1, it appears that for Building A, the elevations are mislabeled as the long side of the building faces east and west, not north and south as indicated. RESPONSE: Sheet A-1 has been correct Comment Number: 15 Comment Originated: 09/13/2016 09/13/2016: On the architectural elevations, be sure to include the dimension to the top of the primary roof line. The top of the primary roofline scales at 41 feet. RESPONSE: Roof lines have been dimensioned. Comment Number: 16 Comment Originated: 09/13/2016 09/13/2016: Since the three story component of the buildings exceed 40 feet, the Shadow Analysis, per Section 3.5.1(G) is required. This analysis needs to address the December condition on the solstice (December 21st or 22nd), and the November condition 45 days prior (November 7th or 8th) and the February condition 45 days post (February 4th or 5th), and at the times of 9:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. We do not need to see any other months. RESPONSE: Buildings are now under 40 feet in height. 3.5.1 does not apply. Comment Number: 17 Comment Originated: 09/13/2016 09/13/2016: Even if the buildings do not exceed 40 feet in height, the analysis required in Section 3.2.3 must be demonstrated. This includes the analysis of the shadow cast by a hypothetical 25 foot high wall located on the property line on the winter solstice at 9:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. We do not need to see any other months. RESPONSE: A shadow analysis has been included to meet the 3.2.3 standards. Comment Number: 18 Comment Originated: 09/13/2016 09/13/2016: On the Lighting Plan, five of the six fixtures are specified to feature 5,000 Kelvin temperature. This is far too harsh for a residential setting. All fixtures must not exceed 3,000 Kelvin to lower the glare. RESPONSE: Fixtures have been changed to be scheduled at 3000k or less. Comment Number: 19 Comment Originated: 09/13/2016 09/13/2016: Given the surrounding residential development, all perimeter pole fixtures must be equipped with the “House-Side Shields.” RESPONSE: House-side shields will be added to these fixtures Comment Number: 20 Comment Originated: 09/13/2016 09/13/2016: All fixtures must be shown to comply with the Department of Energy – Lighting Facts for minimizing backlight, up-light and glare (B.U.G.). Please demonstrate how the proposed fixtures achieve a rating of B=1, U=0 and U=1. RESPONSE: Fixtures will comply with requirements. Comment Number: 21 Comment Originated: 09/13/2016 09/13/2016: There are several pole fixtures placed directly in front of the buildings. Has the lighting designer consider using building-mounted lighting instead? With these fixtures being so close to the front of the buildings, they may also need House-Side Shields to minimize light intrusion into the units. RESPONSE: The pole fixtures will be removed and building mounted fixtures will be added. Comment Number: 22 Comment Originated: 09/13/2016 09/13/2016: Please consider selecting fixtures that are equipped with dimming capability. It seems that in a residential setting such as this, with interior parking lots, dimming the fixtures after a certain time at night would create a more pleasing nighttime environment for both residents and neighbors and save energy as well. RESPONSE: Dimming capability is under consideration by the Developer. Comment Number: 23 Comment Originated: 09/13/2016 09/13/2016: On the Luminaire Schedule, please add a “quantity” column for the number of fixtures. RESPONSE: The Quantity column has been added to the Luminaire Schedule Department: Stormwater Engineering Contact: Dan Mogen, 970-224-6192, dmogen@fcgov.com Topic: General Comment Number: 2 Comment Originated: 09/14/2016 09/14/2016: Please provide calculations for the 2-year historic runoff to determine release rate.
