Comment Number: 1 Comment Originated: 06/07/2016
06/07/2016: An Ecological Characterization Study was completed in August
2015 and was submitted with the ODP for this project. The Larimer County
Canal #2, a number of significant tree groves, and a raptor nest located in Tree
Group A were all identified as significant natural resources. This development
plan, and other development plans within the ODP, should aim to protect, buffer
and enhance these features to the maximum extent feasible, per LUC section
3.4.1(C). To the extent that impacts to these resources are unavoidable,
mitigation must be provided that replaces the resource value lost to the
community in addition to mitigation that may be required to meet other sections
of the code.
The plans as currently presented do not adequately protect, buffer, and mitigate
for impacts to the significant resources identified in the ECS. Specific
comments are provided below; however, it would also be helpful to arrange a
meeting prior to your next submittal to ensure that the project meets the
requirements of section 3.4.1.
Response: The original submittal did not include any mitigation on lots that will be developed in future phases. This submittal
includes all of the lots; current and future.
Comment Number: 2 Comment Originated: 06/07/2016

06/07/2016: The Natural Habitat Buffer Zones (NHBZ) for tree groups A, C, D,
E & I (as identified in the ODP) and the Larimer County Canal #2 need to be
delineated and labeled on all site, landscape, utility, and photometric plans.
Response: NHBZ’s have been added to the site and landscape and utility plans.
Comment Number: 3 Comment Originated: 06/07/2016
06/07/2016: Please include the following note on all plan sheets that include the
NHBZs: "The Natural Habitat Buffer Zones are intended to be maintained in a
native landscape. Please see Section 3.4.1 of the Land Use Code for allowable
uses within the Natural Habitat Buffer Zones."
Response: Note has been added.
Comment Number: 4 Comment Originated: 06/07/2016
06/07/2016: Please label the raptor nest in Tree Group A identified in the ECS.
Please conduct a nesting survey using a qualified wildlife biologist or ecologist
as soon as possible (prior to the end of the nesting season) and submit the
results of the survey to the City. A follow up survey will also need to be
conducted prior to construction. If active use of the nest by a red-tailed or
swainson's hawk is observed, a temporary protection buffer may apply during
nesting season and would need to be shown on all plans.
Response: Location and buffer are shown.
Comment Number: 5 Comment Originated: 06/07/2016
06/07/2016: On the Tree Mitigation Plan, please show the boundaries of the
tree groves identified in the ECS so it apparent which trees from each grove
would be removed.
Response: Tree groves have been added.
Comment Number: 6 Comment Originated: 06/07/2016
06/07/2016: Mitigation will be required for impacts to the tree groves to meet
the standards in section 3.4.1, in addition to the mitigation requirements in
section 3.2.1(F). Please show, either on the Tree Mitigation Plan or a separate
sheet, all trees to be removed from Tree Groves K and E, regardless of whether
they were considered "significant" per section 3.2.1(F). Please also include a
calculation for the total acreage of tree canopy that will be lost from Tree Groves
K and E and any other groves that were considered significant during the ODP
process.
Response: Calculations are shown on the natural habitat buffer zone sheet.
Comment Number: 7 Comment Originated: 06/07/2016
06/07/2016: It is not clear whether Tree Groves C and J will be impacted by this
project. The site plan and tree mitigation plan show these tree groves as
protected, but the demolition plan (utility plan set) shows these and other trees
being removed that are not accounted for in the tree mitigation plan. Please
clarify whether these trees will remain or not.
Response: The trees will remain during this development. Tree group C and J will be impacted during future development. The
natural habitat mitigation is shown with these plans but individual tree mitigation will occur at the time of future PDP’s when the
trees are removed.
Comment Number: 8 Comment Originated: 06/07/2016
06/07/2016: Does this project only include activities on Lot 4, or would there
also be development on Lot 6? It appears that grading and construction
4
activities related to the detention pond will occur on Lot 6. If that is the case,
then we will need to discuss protection, enhancement, and mitigation of impacts
to natural features on that lot as well.
Response: This PDP is for lot 4 however we are now showing all of the lots.
Comment Number: 9 Comment Originated: 06/07/2016
06/07/2016: What seed mix will be used in the detention area(s), along the
Larimer County Canal #2, and any other areas to be disturbed? Within any
buffer zones and the detention area, a mix of native grasses and perennials
should be used. Please show areas to be seeded and provide seed mix details
on the landscape plan.
Response: The areas along Canal #2 and the low lying areas within detention areas will be using a wetland seed mix. Areas
within buffer zones will be a native perennial and grass mix.
Comment Number: 10 Comment Originated: 06/07/2016
06/07/2016: The buffer along the Larimer County Canal #2 appears to be less
than 50 ft in numerous locations. Please provide a calculation that compares the
acreage that would otherwise be protected with a straight 50-ft buffer along the
ditch with the acreage of the proposed buffer.
An "averaged" buffer is generally acceptable instead of a straight 50 foot buffer;
however, the buffer must still adequately protect the resource. In particular, the
buffer on the southeast side of the bridge appears to be located at the top of
bank for the canal, which does not meet the protection standards and will need
to be extended farther to the north.
Response: The buffer has been extended north.
Comment Number: 11 Comment Originated: 06/07/2016
06/07/2016: On the landscape plan, please label which trees are being
counted as mitigation trees per section 3.2.1(F), versus trees that are required
to meet other standards (parking lot islands, street trees, etc.).
Response: Labeled trees designated as mitigation trees on landscape plan.
Comment Number: 12 Comment Originated: 06/07/2016
06/07/2016: At the time of Final Plan, a weed management and monitoring
plan for the site will need to be submitted for review.
Response: Acknowledged.
Comment Number: 13 Comment Originated: 06/07/2016
06/07/2016: The photometric plan should cover the entire site, beyond just the
building and parking lot, and demonstrate that no light will spill over into any of
the buffer zone areas, per section 3.2.4(D)(6) and the recommendations of the
ECS.
Response: Photometric plans have been extended to the 0.0 fc level.
Comment Number: 14 Comment Originated: 06/07/2016
06/07/2016: On the site lighting fixture details, please provide the detailed
specifications that will be used for the light fixtures (e.g., color temperature,
voltage, mounting, etc.). Please also provide the LED Lighting Facts for this
fixture. The impacts of lighting on natural features are a concern on this site, so I
need more information to ensure that habitat for nesting birds and other species
is adequately protected.
Response: See sheet E2. Items have been highlighted.

06/07/2016: Please add the floodplain and floodway boundaries to all
applicable drawings so that it is clear what improvements impact the flood
zones. Please contact Beck Anderson of Stormwater Master Planning at
banderson@fcgov.com for floodplain CAD line work.

06/07/2016: Per previous discussions with the applicant, a spillway from the
ditch will be constructed that will shift the floodplain and floodway on the site
away from the building and parking area. A CLOMR is required before
construction permits can be issued for this site. After construction, an as-built
survey is required for a LOMR on the site before the structure can be occupied.
Please show the proposed floodplain and floodway lines on the site plan and
drainage drawings so that it is clear what improvements will impact the flood
zones.
Response: We will submit a Floodplain Modeling Report and go through a City map revision process.

06/07/2016: Nonstructural development (fill, parking lot, sidewalks, vegetation,
stormwater outfalls, etc.) can be completed within the floodway as long it can be
proven that the work will not cause a change in the Base Flood Elevation (BFE)
or a change to the boundaries of the floodway or floodplain through a No-Rise
Certification with supporting documentation and applicable floodplain modeling
prepared by a licensed engineer registered in the State of Colorado. New
parking areas in the floodway must be day-use only so that vehicles owners are
onsite to move the vehicles to prevent them from becoming debris in the flood
flows that block culverts and bridges and cause additional flooding offsite.
Nonstructural development (fill, sidewalks, vegetation, etc.) is allowed in the
floodplain with an approved floodplain use permit.
Response: Acknowledged
Comment Number: 6 Comment Originated: 06/07/2016
06/07/2016: Any and all construction activities in the floodplain/floodway must

06/07/2016: Chapter 10 of the City Municipal Code prohibits critical facilities
such as emergency or urgent care facilities in the floodplain. Per previous
meetings with the applicant, if the structure is within the floodplain, the facility
cannot be designated as an emergency or urgent care facility.

Topic: Erosion Control
Comment Number: 1 Comment Originated: 06/02/2016
06/02/2016: The site disturbs more than 10,000 sq. ft., therefore Erosion and
Sediment Control Materials need to be submitted for FDP. 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,
Erosion Control Report, and an Escrow / Security Calculation. Also, based upon
the area of disturbance State permits for stormwater will be required since the
site is over an acre. If you need clarification concerning the erosion control
section, or if there are any questions please contact Jesse Schlam
970-218-2932 or email @ jschlam@fcgov.com

06/08/2016: The plan, as shown, has the future detention pond draining into
and through the proposed detention pond at the northwestern corner of the site.
The new state statute specifically precludes detention ponds in series. The
future pond will need to have its own outfall or can be included in the volume
calcs for the proposed detention pond, but can not be routed through it.
Response: We will provide calculations at Final showing a full system (all interconnected ponds) draining
within the State required drain time.

06/08/2016: The LID calculations presented show 16.4 acres for the LID
design. What does this area include? Since the LID concept is intended to
distribute treatment, the preference would be for the LID proposed with this
development only treat Lot 4 and the adjacent street right-of-way.
Response: Please see the revised report for clarification.

06/08/2016: The Drainage Report states that Basin F5 is to be included in the
volume calculations for the proposed detention pond. The SWMM model does
not appear to include this basin. The output from Comment 13 above may help
clarify this.
Response: Please see the revised report.

06/08/2016: The output for the SWMM model show the HGL for Pond 2 is 1.5'
lower than the HGL for Pond 1. This does not appear to be functional since
Pond 2 is upstream of Pond 1. Are these elevations referenced to the site
survey? If not, please revise the SWMM model to reference actual elevations.
Response: Please see the revised SWMM model.

06/08/2016: In general, this submittal is confusing in that it appears to include
the drainage design for the entire area covered by the ODP but also revises
some of the concepts presented in the ODP. If this submittal is just for Lot 5
then the design presented should just pertain to Lot 5. Does the ODP need to
be amended to revise the drainage concepts that appear to be changing with
the information presented in this submittal?
Response: The drainage plan and report has been re-worked and drainage basins have been revised to
provide more clarity. Please see the revised drainage plan and report.
