08/09/2016: ROW should be dedicated to the back of the sidewalk along Joseph Allen Drive. ROW or an
access easement should be dedicated on the portion of the sidewalk along Nancy Gray that is not currently in
the ROW. Both sections of ROW can be one dedication of ROW by separate document. For more information
on dedicating easements by separate document please see:
http://www.fcgov.com/engineering/pdf/Easrowdedications2010.pdf
RESPONSE: A proposed ROW dedication line has been added on the West Side of the property along
Joseph Allen. The ROW dedication is being shown 5’ off existing property line.
Comment Number: 3 Comment Originated: 08/09/2016
08/09/2016: A standard 9 foot utility easement will need to be dedicated along Joseph Allen Drive behind the
future ROW. This easement should be shown on both the site plan and the utility plan.
RESPONSE: A proposed 9 foot utility easement has been added to the West side of the property along
Joseph Allen. This line is off set 9 feet from new proposed ROW dedication.
Comment Number: 4 Comment Originated: 08/09/2016
08/09/2016: The driveways onto Nancy Gray should be designed to the LCUASS standard driveway approach
detail with detached walk (706.1) and as such should be concrete to the ROW. Please update the plan
drawings, remove the street intersection detail, and replace with 706.1.
RESPONSE: With the design of the entries and the radius we currently have in place, we found 707.1 a better
way to design our detached sidewalk.

07/28/2016: An additional $695 is due for the TDRF. There was not a plat included with the project, but
according to the Larimer County website the parcel size is 6.11 acres, which differs from that included in the
fee sheet and that is why the difference.
RESPONSE: Plat is in the works, any ROW or Easements to be dedicated will be recorded on our Plat
Submittal.

08/08/2016: Will light fixture D1 be installed under an awning or canopy? If so, it should be fully recessed so
that the lamp is not visible from the street.
RESPONSE: Yes, the fixture is in the covered front entry and will be recessed.
Comment Number: 3 Comment Originated: 08/08/2016
08/08/2016: In regard to LED light fixtures, cooler color temperatures are harsher at night and cause more
disruption to circadian rhythms for both humans and wildlife. For the light fixtures that have been selected, it
looks like most or all of them are available in a 3000K version (warmer color temperature). Please consider
using the 3000K versions, as well as versions with dimming capabilities so that light levels can be adjusted as
needed.
RESPONSE: The light fixtures have been changed.

07/28/2016: FIRE LANES
Fire access is required to within 150' of all exterior portions of any building, or facility as measured by an
approved route around the building perimeter. The proposed site plan does not provide for sufficient fire
access as defined by the fire code. The first phase plan places the building approximately 130' out of access
while the future planned expansion will increase the out-of-access condition to approximately 300'. Dedicating
the parking area on the south side of the building as an Emergency Access Easement will improve the
condition but will not fully resolve the problem. PFA is asking the project team to formulate a plan which will
resolve access issues for both the short and long-range site configurations. Code language below.
RESPONSE: With the new lay out of the building we realize that the Northeast side of the building is going to
be problematic with the 150’ for perimeter access. Coordinating with the PFA we realize that we are about
150’ feet out of access regarding the northeast corner of the building and it has been brought to our attention
that we may be able to get by if we can get this down to 100’. If we can use the new road on the property to
the north, which looks to be a public road, with developments able to build on both the west and east side, we
cut our out-of-perimeter access down to 35’. Do we know if this road public? If we are not able to use this
road, then we will have to create a access on either the North side of the playground area, or the east side of
the building, between the building and pond.
> IFC 503.1.1: Approved fire Lanes shall be provided for every facility, building or portion of a building
hereafter constructed or moved into or within the jurisdiction. The fire apparatus access road shall comply with
the requirements of this section and shall extend to within 150 feet of all portions of the facility and all portions
of the exterior walls of the first story of the building as measured by an approved route around the exterior of
the building or facility. When any portion of the facility or any portion of an exterior wall of the first story of the
building is located more than 150 feet from fire apparatus access, the fire code official is authorized to
increase the dimension if the building is equipped throughout with an approved, automatic fire-sprinkler
system.

Comment Number: 1 Comment Originated: 08/02/2016
08/02/2016: The current location of the building does not meet Land Use Code requirements for the build-to
line and the location of vehicle areas. The building should be situated to anchor either the Timberline/Nancy
Gray or Nancy Gray/Joseph Allen corners and be setback no more than 15ft from the street, or as close as
possible given existing easements. Parking areas should be located either to the side or rear of the building
rather than between the front entrance and the street.
RESPONSE: The project now includes the church instead of calling it an addition. Due to the function of the
school and church and the Cargill easement, there isn’t a way to push the building to the corner of Nancy Gray
and Joseph Allen. We are proposing a Modification to the build-to line by providing a plan that has a one-way
20’ drive between the building and the street. There is a direct connecting walkway from Nancy Gray to the
front entrances of the church and school without the pedestrian having to cross the drive. We also have the
ADA spaces close to the front door of the church since it’s a long walk from the proposed parking area to the
front door.
Comment Number: 2 Comment Originated: 08/02/2016
08/02/2016: The parking spaces located closest to Nancy Gray need to be a minimum of 10-feet from the
property line, but currently appear to be dimensioned as 8.7 feet from the property line.
RESPONSE: These parking spaces have been removed due to the redesign of the site layout.
Parking lot perimeter landscaping standards also require trees to be planted at 25-feet intervals along the
Nancy Gray frontage in the 10' vehicle setback areas.
RESPONSE: We have added additional trees in the setback areas along Nancy Gray and Joseph Allen.
Comment Number: 3 Comment Originated: 08/02/2016
08/02/2016: Is the legal description for the site correct or does the site need platting? Online assessor records
are ambiguous on size/platting. If the property is not platted, a new subdivision plat will need to be submitted
as part of the proposal.
RESPONSE: We are in the works of getting this site platted. We plan on recording the new proposed ROW
and any new easements that are needed for this design.
Comment Number: 4 Comment Originated: 08/02/2016
08/02/2016: Canopy shade trees are required along the Timberline Rd frontage at a spacing of 30-to-40 feet.
RESPONSE: Shade trees have been added.
Comment Number: 5 Comment Originated: 08/02/2016
08/02/2016: Additional trees are needed to meet Land Use Code tree-stocking standards. Traditionally such
trees are located closer to the building, but there is flexibility for other site locations to define spaces such as
the sports fields or patio areas. One area in particular that could use additional tree plantings would be the
frontage/detention areas along Timberline Road, continuing the existing theme of tree plantings (ornamentals
& blue spruce) utilized by the Timberline Center developments.
RESPONSE: We have added additional ornamental and evergreen trees along Timberline and the detention
pond to match the existing theme.
Comment Number: 6 Comment Originated: 08/02/2016
08/02/2016: The outdoor bike rack should be enlarged for additional spaces. 5 outdoor spaces are listed but
the label indicates space for only 4 bikes. Additional bike parking will be needed when the church expansion is
reviewed.
RESPONSE: We have added additional bike racks for both the school and church.
Comment Number: 7 Comment Originated: 08/02/2016
08/02/2016: If the current building placement remains in a similar location, a walkway is needed to connect
from the Nancy Gray sidewalk to the building entrance. If crossing drive-aisle(s), the walkway should
emphasize the pedestrian with markings, raised pavements, different materials, etc.
RESPONSE: A walkway has been added.

08/02/2016: Please indicate with a narrative/exhibit or notes on the site plan how pick-up/drop-off for students
will work and expected times in the morning and afternoon.
RESPONSE: See attached Narrative.
Comment Number: 9 Comment Originated: 08/02/2016
08/02/2016: The east building façade facing Timberline Road features large blank walls that do not meet
design requirements in the interim prior to the church expansion. Additional articulation and interest is needed
prior to construction of the expansion.
RESPONSE: The building will now include a church function and sanctuary on the North façade, adding
architectural interest.
Comment Number: 10 Comment Originated: 08/02/2016
08/02/2016: Additional information is needed on the building design and footprint:
- To what degree are sections of the north and west sides of the building being projected or recessed? The
elevations appear to indicate such recesses or projections, but the building outline on the site plan is flush. The
Land Use Code requires projecting or recessed elements if the height/width ratio of building sides exceeds 1:3.
RESPONSE: The floor plan has been included to help better demonstrate the projected elements on the building
façade
- Please provide information on building materials and colors. Please add sample images of proposed
building materials/finishes/colors to the elevations.
RESPONSE: A physical material board is being produced.
- Base treatment: will there be a difference in color between the split face and ground face CMU blocks? A
cap or ledge at the transition between the two blocks would better define the building base.
ESPONSE: The CMU block will be two separate colors. Block to block no ledge is proposed. Block to Stucco a
stucco band is proposed.
- Top treatment: Does the stucco shown on the building tops also represent a cornice or are the lines only
representative of a scoring pattern?
RESPONSE: Lines represent a scoring pattern.
Comment Number: 11 Comment Originated: 08/02/2016
08/02/2016: Please dimension the separation between the fence and the Joseph Allen Drive sidewalk. The
fence must be constructed a minimum of two feet from the back edge of the sidewalk.
RESPONSE: The fence is now located on the north side of the building and does not touch any public
sidewalks.
Comment Number: 12 Comment Originated: 08/02/2016
08/02/2016: On the site plan, please show the full site boundaries extending out to the Timberline Road
frontage. This may require moving the site data tables from the right-hand site to the bottom of the sheet.
RESPONSE: The site plan now includes Timberline.
Comment Number: 13 Comment Originated: 08/09/2016
08/09/2016: Is there an estimated timeline for the future church expansion? We'll want to indicate as much
information on the site plan about the expansion as possible, and add the following general note:
"A future building expansion is anticipated in the dashed box labeled 'expansion area' for a church or school
use only. Future expansion shall require City approval by minor or major amendment (as applicable)."
RESPONSE: As noted above, the church is now included with the plans.

08/08/2016: Drainage Report – This report references the Timberline Road Widening project for the regional
picture for stormwater. There are also other drainage analyses that have been done in this area and will need
to be utilized in fully formulating the stormwater analysis for this site. Please refer to the Spring Creek Farms
Drainage Report and the Police Services Building Drainage Report for additional information.
• The Timberline Road Widening project included this site’s basin (basin 8) in the overall drainage analysis
but it only assumed an undeveloped condition.
• The Spring Creek Farms drainage report also included this site’s basin (basin in the overall drainage
analysis. It assumed a developed condition for basin 11 (Timberline Road that contributes to this pond, a
developed condition for basin 12, a portion of what is now the Police Services Building, and the
undeveloped condition of the basin that is for this site (basin 8).
• The Police Services drainage report shows that its basins 101 and 113 drain into the detention pond on
this site and are within the assumptions included in the Spring Creek Farms drainage analysis. It appears
as though a portion of this pond capacity is utilized by the Policy Services Building and there was an
agreement between property owners that allows this.
• The result of all of these reports is that this project will need to re-analyze the capacity and volume
requirements for this pond based on a developed condition for this site. Contributing basins on Timberline
and Nancy Gray should be included, contributing basins from the Police Services site and the developed
condition from this site should all be included in the capacity analysis for this pond.
• All of the above mentioned drainage reports can be found on City docs on our website. Please contact me
if you need help finding these.
RESPONSE: All basins that contribute to the existing pond, per the above referenced reports, have now been
included in our analysis. Any future development that contribute to the pond will need to include updated analysis on the
pond.

and pavement.
Comment Number: 5 Comment Originated: 08/08/2016
08/08/2016: Drainage Report – Please note that the entire site needs to be treated with some level of water
quality feature. Generally this is 50% treated through STANDARD water quality and 50% through an LID
SYSTEM. You will need to provide an exhibit of this site showing how you meet this requirement. (Standard
Water Quality requirements per the Fort Collins Stormwater Criteria Manual are: fifty percent of the site runoff
is required to be treated using the standard water quality treatment as described in the Fort Collins Stormwater
Manual, Volume 3-Best Management Practices (BMPs). (http://www.fcgov.com/utilities/business/builders-and-
developers/development-forms-guidelines-regulations/stormwater-criteria) Extended detention is the
usual method selected for water quality treatment; however the use of any of the BMPs is encouraged.)

Comment Number: 6 Comment Originated: 08/08/2016
08/08/2016: Drainage Report - Please note that the LID criteria have been updated since your conceptual
review. Overall, stormwater quality requirements are as follows: Enhanced (or LID) Water Quality
requirements per the Fort Collins Stormwater Criteria Manual are: Low Impact Development (LID)
requirements are required on all new or redeveloping property which includes sites required to be brought into
compliance with the Land Use Code. These require a higher degree of water quality treatment with one of the
two following options:
a. 50% of the newly added or modified impervious area must be treated by LID techniques and 25% of new
paved areas must be pervious.
b. 75% of all newly added or modified impervious area must be treated by LID techniques.
RESPONSE: 100% of new impervious areas are proposed to go to LID rain garden treatment.
Comment Number: 7 Comment Originated: 08/08/2016
08/08/2016: Drainage Report – The LID Table looks like it indicates that the pavers run-on area is included in
the total square footage of pavers. You can’t count the run-on area as pavers area. However, the run-on area
can and should be counted toward the LID treated area onsite. Also, the LID table seems to indicate that the
future expansion area drains onto the pavers area, but this doesn’t look possible. Please explain.
RESPONSE: Pavers have been removed from the plan. It is now proposed to route 100% of the new
impervious areas to LID rain gardens.

To establish "build-to" lines, buildings shall be located and designed to align or approximately align with any
previously established building/sidewalk relationships that are consistent with this standard. Buildings shall be
located no more than fifteen (15) feet from the right-of-way of an adjoining street if the street is smaller than a
full arterial or has on-street parking.
RESPONSE: The project now includes the church instead of calling it an addition. Due to the function of the
school and church and the Cargill easement, there isn’t a way to push the building to the corner of Nancy Gray
and Joseph Allen. We are proposing a Modification to the build-to line by providing a plan that has a one-way
20’ drive between the building and the street. There is a direct connecting walkway from Nancy Gray to the
front entrances of the church and school without the pedestrian having to cross the drive. We also have the
ADA spaces close to the front door of the church since it’s a long walk from the proposed parking area to the
front door.
