10/06/2015: How will the project provide screening of the parking lot from adjacent
uses? Land Use Code section 3.2.1(E)(4)(b) requires screening that consists of
either a wall, fence, planter, earthern berm, plant material, or a combination of these
elements from abutting uses. The minimum height of the screening is 30 inches
and must cover 70% of the length of the parking lot.

Topic: General
10/06/2015: Although the requirement for an Ecological Characterization Study was
waived during the Conceptual Review stage, it was later determined that there are
significant natural habitat features on the site, including a grove of mature trees on
the western edge of the site and a small wetland (determined to be a jurisdictional
wetland per the US Army Corps of Engineers standards).
As was communicated in August 2015, a survey documenting the conditions of the
site will be needed. Rather than requiring a full Ecological Characterization Study
(ECS), a memo-based study documenting the value of the site as wildlife habitat, as
well as the potential impacts of the proposed development, will suffice. Since a
wetland delineation and tree inventory have already been conducted, those do not
need to be included in the ECS; however, trees with nests suitable for Red-Tailed or
Swainson's Hawks should be noted. The ECS should respond directly to your
proposal, and should include recommendations for the mitigation of potential
impacts.
Typically we ask that such studies are completed at least 10 days prior to submittal
of the project. Since this was not communicated at the conceptual review, it should
be provided at least 10 days prior to the 2nd round of submittal instead. In addition, I
would recommend arranging a meeting with me prior to your next submittal to
ensure that your plans adequately protect and/or mitigate impacts to any natural
habitat features.
Comment Number: 1 Comment Originated: 10/06/2015
10/06/2015: Please refer to Stormwater's design standards for detention areas. A
more naturalistic design for the detention area that utilizes the natural topography of
the site will provide additional visual interest and improved wildlife habitat.

Page 3 of 15
10/06/2015: Please note Land Use Code Section 3.4.1(C) in regard to the natural
habitat features present on the site:
"To the maximum extent feasible, the development plan shall be designed and
arranged to be compatible with and to protect natural habitats and features and the
plants and animals that inhabit them and integrate them within the developed
landscape of the community by: (1) directing development away from sensitive
resources, (2) minimizing impacts and disturbance through the use of buffer zones,
(3) enhancing existing conditions, or (4) restoring or replacing the resource value
lost to the community (either on-site or off-site) when a development proposal will
result in the disturbance of natural habitats or features."
Our approach is to first avoid and minimize impacts to sensitive resources. If this is
not feasible on a site, then we require replacement or mitigation of the resource
value that will be lost. Once the ECS has been completed, please coordinate with
me to determine how the mitigation requirements will be met on-site.
Comment Number: 3 Comment Originated: 10/06/2015
10/07/2015: Because the wetland on the site was determined to be jurisdictional,
the applicant will need to work with the U.S. Army Corp of Engineers to determine
whether a Section 404 permit will be needed and what additional requirements may
be applicable.

10/06/2015: With respect to landscaping and design, the City of Fort Collins Land
Use Code, in Article 3.2.1 (E)(3), requires that you use low-water-use plants and
grasses in your landscaping or re-landscaping and reduce bluegrass lawns as
much as possible. A significant amount of landscape area is shown as bluegrass
sod, which does not meet this standard. At a minimum, a native seed mix should be
used for the portion of the site to the east of the entrance drive. In addition, consider
planting beds with shrubs and flowering plants in place of turf areas throughout the
site.

Tree inventory and mitigation information is not included with the landscape plan. A
separate sheet titled Tree Inventory and Mitigation Plan needs to be included. It
needs to show the accurate location of all exiting trees. Existing trees need to be
identified by number and all the tree inventory information needs to be placed in a
table. The table needs to have the following columns.
Tree Number, Species, Size in DBH, Tree Condition, Intent to
Remove/Retain/Transplant, Reason for Removal
The required number of upsized mitigation trees should be totaled at the bottom of
the table.

10/07/2015:
Provide the required number of upsized mitigation trees. Upsized mitigation trees
should be sized as follows. Calculate the number of required mitigation trees. It may
be around 44 but the applicant should confirm?
Canopy Shade Trees 3.0 inch caliper
Ornamental Trees 2.5 inch caliper
Evergreen Trees 8 feet height
Clearly identify mitigation trees both in the planting legend and on the direct label.
Place an M by the direct label for mitigation trees
Offsite mitigation trees can be provided if they cannot be placed on the project.
Mitigation trees can those trees shown to meet other code requirements on the
project such as for street trees and parking area trees.

Provide a statement that explains how the project has followed the LUC standard
(3.2.1 F) to retain existing trees to the extent reasonably feasible.
Extent Reasonably Feasible: Extent reasonably feasible shall mean that, under the
circumstances, reasonable efforts have been undertaken to comply with the
regulation, that the costs of compliance clearly outweigh the potential benefits to the

Street trees should be placed in parkways between the sidewalk and curb where
there is not the limitation of having the sidewalk attached or where the parkway is
very narrow. Where street trees will need to be placed behind the sidewalk they
should be placed around 7 feet in back of the walk as described in LUC3.2.1 D 2 b.
Along Snead Drive where the parkway is shown at 4 feet width place street trees at
6-7 feet behind the walk.
Along Fossil Creek Parkway east of the project entrance place the street trees 6-7
feet behind the walk unless utility locations warrant a different position. If utility
locations warrant a greater distance for trees to be placed behind the walk then
place street trees as close as feasible and provide an explanation why 6-7 feet in
back of the walk will not work.
Along Fossil Creek Parkway west of the project entrance locate street trees
between the sidewalk and curb. Evaluate retaining some or all of the other trees
shown behind the walk to possibly provide a double row and to help meet the full
tree stocking standard.
Along College Avenue add street trees between the sidewalk and curb in the gaps
between the other trees shown behind the walk. Do not include a street tree close to
corner for intersection visibility.

10/09/2015: The outfall for the site and the new storm sewer in Snead Dr. drain to
an existing 30-inch reinforced concrete pipe under Fossil Creek Parkway that is
undersized. The City is determining if the existing 30-inch pipe needs to be enlarged
to provide an adequate outfall to Fossil Creek.
The City will inform the applicant once a decision is made.

10/07/2015: Per the concept comments, traffic studies are required to be scoped
with the local entity prior to completion. I don't believe that occurred here. At a
minimum, we'll need ADT numbers and dicsussion of the proposed access.

10/07/2015: The Fossil Creek access is problematic and too close to College.
Even moving it a little to the east as shown is not much better. It should be
expected that full movement access be taken off Snead, and either the Fossil Creek
access closed or converted to a right-in, right-out.

10/07/2015: It doesn't appear that an access to Snead is included. That should be
the main access.
