03/16/2015: Make sure to use materials that are consistent with the materials used
at Sunshine House. This material choice will ensure the area has a unified look and
feel.

03/03/2015: Thank you for providing an Ecological Characterization Study (ECS)for
this site. Based upon results from the ECS, no development timing restrictions or
mitigation measures will be necessary. No natural habitat buffer zone will be
required on-site either, as the Larimer Canal #2 is located further than fifty feet (50
ft) from this parcel, as are the four large eastern cottonwoods along the canal; these
features are separated from the site by Rolland Moore Dr. There are no wetlands
on-site, and nearby wetlands are separated from this parcel by Perennial Ln.

of each phase.
3. Street tree shall be supplied and planted by the developer using a qualified
landscape contractor.
4. The developer shall replace all dead and dying street trees after planting until final
maintenance inspection and acceptance by the City of Fort Collins Forestry
Division. All street trees in the project must be established of an approved species
and of acceptable le condition prior to acceptance.
5. Street tree locations and numbers may be adjusted to accommodate driveway
locations, utility standards, separation between trees, street signs and street lights.
Street trees shall be centered in the middle of the parkway. Quantities shown on
plan must be installed unless a reduction occurs to meet separation standards.
