Topic: General
Comment Number: 1 Comment Originated: 02/29/2016
02/29/2016: Building elevations, prior to hearing. Per LUC 3.5.2(C)(2) and
3.8.30 single-family attached and multi-family standards, more variation is
needed amongst the buildings. Building variation must be more than variety in
color schemes. Suggested options for the single-family attached could include
variations in street entrance door styles, garage door styles, porch column
styles, masonry styles, paint color palette, etc. There is no formula to address
this but if the overall building form stays the same, the intent is to do more than
repeat the same unit details throughout the project and to provide subordinant
visual interest and uniqueness, within the overall theme. For the multi-family
8-plex buildings, the same comments apply. Also would like to show ground or
building mounted screen panels for meter gangs, also possibly for ac units if
they are clustered.
Comment Number: 2 Comment Originated: 02/29/2016
02/29/2016: Building elevations, prior to hearing. Please include a
representative material /color palette information. This could be a separate
sheet or incorporated into the existing sheets with a key code. Another issue we
see is that elevations on paper often do not reflect grading and there can be
issues with how much foundation or porch is exposed and these areas stand
out in the streetscape and are visually jarring. With the plans, add notes/callouts
showing how exposed vertical concrete areas can be treated and show typical
detail enlargements. Areas could be stained/painted/textured, etc. Masonry
could follow finish grade, etc. Please feel free to call with questions.
Comment Number: 3 Comment Originated: 02/29/2016
02/29/2016: Landscaping, prior to hearing. Landscape plans for the
multi-family and single-family attached areas need to be provided. Typical
foundation details could be provided at the PDP hearing phase, followed by full
plans at FDP. Issues that we’ve seen recently that need to be reflected in the
landscape plans include: screening/softening AC units and utilities, full season
screening including using evergreen material in addition to deciduous shrubs,
overuse and small 1 gallon initial size of perennial grasses used for screening,
screening and softening of concrete associated with elevated porches and
other exposed turn-down slab areas.
Comment Number: 4 Comment Originated: 02/29/2016
02/29/2016: Prior to hearing, will need to coordinate revisions to site/landscape
notes. These will need to address overall HOA responsibilities for maintenance,

02/29/2016: Need off-street parking information added to the land use table.
Comment Number: 6 Comment Originated: 02/29/2016
02/29/2016: We are recommending that you add conceptual elevation
examples and lot configurations for the single-family detached homes into the
PDP set, to be listed as character examples. This would establish the general
character anticipated and that major changes from proposed would require a
plan amendment. This could also help show the intent of the alternative
compliance for reduced setbacks. It would also help with the justification for the
reduced 100' O&G setback which refernces accommodating accessory
dwelling units above the garages for multi-generational living and caretaker
suites.

02/29/2016: Need to address through notes process and any general

Comment Number: 11 Comment Originated: 03/01/2016
03/01/2016: Some of the retaining walls are quite tall, can these be terraced
especially at perimeter transitions such as buffer zones and SE retention pond.
Retention pond will be the front door view and the edge view to the back of the
homes at this corner seems a bit artificial, too hard of an edge. Also are there
options for materials or material patterns, gabion walls, ashlar patterns instead
of the standard running bond keystone wall pattern.
Comment Number: 12 Comment Originated: 03/02/2016
03/02/2016: Abandoned oil well sites are dryland seeded. Please think about
the maintenance and programing of these areas as the project moves forward.
What recreation uses are expected and should 3 rail fencing be placed in
certain areas to restrict foot traffic and degredation of the planted areas. Are
these areas expected to be irrigated, perhaps an underground irrigation system
can be used intermittantly and do the civil plans need to be changed to
accommodate irrigation.

03/02/2016: See redlines for additional minor comments.
Comment Number: 14 Comment Originated: 03/02/2016
03/02/2016: The modification requests have been reviewed by planning and
are generally acceptable. Notes will need to be added to the plan to generally
clarify HOA responsibilities for continued maintenance and operations of these
areas.

allowable uses within the buffer zone. This is already included on some, but not
all, of the relevant sheets.
Comment Number: 4 Comment Originated: 03/01/2016
03/01/2016: A note should be added to all sheets of the site, landscape, utility,

03/01/2016: Landscape Plan Sheets L33 and L34. There is an area in the
Natural Habitat Buffer Zone labeled as turf, but it appears to be a path. Only
native plantings will be allowed within the buffer zone, so turf is not an allowable
material to use. Please update and/or clarify.
Comment Number: 12 Comment Originated: 03/01/2016
03/01/2016: Landscape Plan Sheets L33, L34, L35. The Natural Habitat Buffer
Zone and edge of wetlands should be clearly delineated and labeled. It's hard to

03/01/2016: Landscape Plan Sheet L33. Please label and provide additional
detail for the retaining wall shown in the Natural Habitat Buffer Zone. What
material(s) will be used? To ensure that the retaining wall is compatible with the
natural character of the buffer zone, a naturalized retaining wall consisting of
boulders , stacked rock, or other natural materials would be more appropriate
than cement or something similar.

Comment Number: 5 Comment Originated: 03/01/2016
03/01/2016: Is the trail shown in the Natural Habitat Buffer Zone existing or
proposed? The linework for this on sheets 2 and 6 of the site plan is confusing -
please show with something other than a dashed line.
Comment Number: 6 Comment Originated: 03/01/2016
03/01/2016: The line delineating the edge of wetlands along Richards Lake is
not clear, and it is difficult to determine the width of the Natural Habitat Buffer
Zone in all locations. Please make sure the arrow is pointing to the correct line,
include the symbology in the legend, and/or label the dimensions for the buffer
zone. (See sheet 2 of the Site Plan, for example).
If the buffer from the wetlands is less than 100 feet in any location, a table will
need to be included on the site plan that calculates the amount of acreage
required to be protected with a 100-foot buffer compared to the amount of area
actually protected within the buffer.

Street tree selection comments:
Use Chanticleer Pear in place of Autumn Blaze Pear in all parkway and median
locations. Chanticleer has a more upright form and better disease resistance.
Use Chanticleer Pear in place of Spring Snow Crab in the few locations where
Spring Snow is used as a street tree. This is on sheet L28 and maybe a few
others.
Skymaster English Oak has been taken out of production. Substitute it with
another canopy street tree species. Evaluate using Boulevard American Linden
or American Sentry American Linden in place of Skymaster. Some use of both
of these lindends could be beneficial.
Use Shumard Oak for around half of the Texas Red Oak used as street trees.
They are very similar and this would add some diversity.
Evaluate if some Catalpa can also be used as Street Trees at appropriate
locations.

Narrowleaf Cottonwood produces an abundance of suckers. Using Lanceleaf

There are overhead electric utility lines along the west side of Turnberry north of
Brightwater. Will these lines be undergrounded? If they are to remain show their
location on the plans. Street trees placed under these lines will need to be
smaller ornamental trees. Crabapple trees such as Red Baron or Thunderchild,
the Japanese tree lilac or thornless cockspur hawthorn are smaller trees that
might work under the lines. There are some existing ash trees planted under the
lines just north of Brightwater that will need to be changed out. These ash trees
have never established and are small caliper. These ash need to be shown as
exiting and to remove and replace.

03/02/2016: The development is required to meet the City's Detention Pond
Landscape Standards for all the ponds.
Due to detention pond 110 already being constructed, the standards would
apply to any alterations in grading and landscaping. Additional landscaping can
be used to help mitigate the existing lack of variation in pond grading.
Comment Number: 7 Comment Originated: 03/04/2016
03/04/2016: The retaining walls along the north and west sides of detention
basin 110 are near 12 feet high in certain places. Retaining walls of this height
create a safety hazard/concern as well as an aesthetic concern.
To mitigate the height of these retaining walls regarding safety and aesthetics,
the City requires that the walls be tiered to two or more walls with a landscaping
bench between each section.
This will reduce additional volume in detention basin 110, which will need to be
replaced in another location.
Comment Number: 8 Comment Originated: 03/04/2016
03/04/2016: Colorado Revised Statute 37-92-602 (8) requires that all quantity
detention basins drain within a designated time. Detention basin 110 may not
meet this statute due to the restricted release rate of 1 cfs, which was required
by the owners of Larimer #8 Irrigation Canal.
This issue needs further investigation on what will be allowed if the existing
detention basin were to be modified or if the detention basin were to be left in
it's current condition.
The City suggests the involvement of the ditch company to help in facilitating a
solution.

03/02/2016: The TIS is one of the most comprehensive studies done in the City
of Fort Collins in a long time. It is thorough, well organized, and easy to follow.
Thank you.
Comment Number: 2 Comment Originated: 03/02/2016
03/02/2016: Section 3.7.3.D in the City of Fort Collins City Code details the
requirements for Adequate Public Facilities regarding transportation. It
indicates that all development shall meet or exceed the transportation level of
services standards contained in Part II of the City of Fort Collins Multi-modal
Transportation Level of Service Manual. For a signalized intersection that
standard is LOS D. The applicant¿'s TIS calculates that the intersection of Vine
/ Lemay will be at a LOS F with the completion of Phase I of Waters Edge. This
triggers the APF threshold and is initially the most significant issue for the
development to address before being able to move forward.
Comment Number: 3 Comment Originated: 03/02/2016
03/02/2016: If and when the APF issue is addressed, then there are a number
of other off-site intersections that need further discussion, evaluation, and
potential mitigation. They include:
-Vine and Timberline. With completion of Phase I, this will be LOS F and not
meet LCUASS LOS criteria. The TIS notes the recommended improvement is
a signal or roundabout. The railroad tracks complicates this, and further review
will be required.
-Timberline and Mountain Vista. With completion of Phase I, this will be LOS
F and not meet LCUASS LOS criteria. The TIS notes the recommended
improvement is an all-way stop. Rural, arterial, high speed all-way stops can be
a compliance and safety concern. Further review of other options such as a
channelized T, or roundabout is appropriate.
-Turnberry and Country Club. With completion of Phase I, the TIS notes that
this intersection will be LOS F for the eastbound approach with an average
delay of more than 4 minutes. No recommended improvements are listed in the
TIS, perhaps because Country Club is technically classified as a collector. But
with almost 300 left turns in the PM peak hour, very poor level of service, and
increasing safety concerns, this intersection should be evaluated for a signal
warrant and reviewed for a roundabout.
-SH1 and Douglas Road. This intersection has a current safety concern, and
with completion of Phase 1, will see increasingly poor levels of service. This
intersection should be evaluated for a signal warrant (70% factor due to high
speed).
