12/16/2016: It appears there are a few trees that would be removed with this
project, but a tree mitigation plan was not submitted. Please arrange an on-site
meeting with the City Forester to determine mitigation requirements for any
significant trees on the site. For trees that will be protected, the City's standard
tree protection specifications and notes will need to be included with the
landscape plan.
Note LUC Section 3.2.1(C) requiring developments to submit a landscape and
tree protection plan, and if receiving water service from the City, an irrigation
plan, that: "...(4) protects significant trees, natural systems, and habitat, and (5)
enhances the pedestrian environment.” Note that a significant tree is defined as
a tree having DBH (Diameter at Breast Height) of six inches or more. If any of
the trees within this site have a DBH of greater than six inches, a review of the
trees shall be conducted with Tim Buchanan, City Forester (970-221-6361 or
tbuchanan@fcgov.com) to determine the status of the existing trees and any
mitigation requirements that could result from the proposed development.
Response: Onsite meeting completed and mitigation plan included.
Comment Number: 2 Comment Originated: 12/16/2016
12/16/2016: If tree removal is necessary, please include the following note on
the tree mitigation plan and/or landscape plan, as appropriate: “All tree removal
shown shall be completed outside of the songbird nesting season (Feb 1 - July
31) or a survey will be conducted of the trees to be removed to ensure that no
active nests are present."

01/03/2017: Currently three phase power is the primary source of power in the
area. There is a 120/208V three phase transformer located to the NE corner of
the property to the south. This can be upgraded or primary can be
tapped off of this and supplied to a dedicated transformer for the site.
Response: Per our meeting with the city of Fort Collins Power and Light on
1/18/2017, the city of Fort Collins has agreed to allow us to utilize the
transformer at the adjacent property to the south so long as the transformer is in
an easement. We plan to utilize (4) of the (6) available conduit entry points in
this existing transformer. We were advised during this meeting that the
transformer would be upgraded if necessary.
Comment Number: 2 Comment Originated: 01/03/2017
01/03/2017: If power is taken from an area located on another private property,
utility easements will need to be obtained from that property owner
Response: Comment noted. The owner of this property is also the owner of the
neighboring property from which we will be taking power, so we will ensure that
all easements between the two properties are obtained.
Comment Number: 3 Comment Originated: 01/03/2017
01/03/2017: Single phase service can be supplied from the existing three phase
transformer. Contact Light and Power Engineering to coordinate the transformer
and electric meter locations. Please show these locations on the utility plans.
Transformers need to have an 8’ frontal and 3’ side/rear clearance. It also has to be
10’ within a drivable surface and cannot be located under the drip zone of any trees.
Please reference our Electric Service Standards to ensure requirements and policies
are met.

rms-guidelines-regulations
Response: AE Design is currently planning 3 phase power to the site. We have
shown the requested meter locations on the electrical site plan. Thank you for
listing the clearance requirements. Since we are utilizing the existing
transformer, we will not be showing anything new on the site plan.

01/03/2017: Currently the existing transformer to the south has only six feed
positions available. If service to these townhomes needs more than this, a new

01/04/2017: FIRE LANE TURN RADIUS
The plans do not support the ability of fire apparatus to negotiate the turn at the
south end of the central drive aisle. Turning radius is to be a minimum of 25ft.
This should also be reflected on the plat. Code language provided below.
> IFC 503.2.4 and Local Amendments: The required turning radii of a fire
apparatus access road shall be a minimum of 25 feet inside and 50 feet

There are some inconsistencies between the Replat and Site Plan documenting

01/04/2017: The proposed layout has significant code issues regarding
landscape requirements. Full tree stocking is required around the buildings.
Foundation planting is required along the west face of the west building. See
LUC 3.2.1. The combination of elements used to transition between the Choice
Center Building 2 and new west building are too harsh and the area is not put
together in a way that meets the requirement in LUC 3.2.1(H). Currently this
west area includes wet utility lines so it does appear that space exists with the
current layout to meet all of the basic elements of the land use code.
Response: Additional landscape space added to lessen the harshness of the transition
area. between buildings

Response: Residential parking spaces are located within enclosed

parking dimensions of garage spaces. Guest parking spaces will be
available at the adjacent “State on Campus” parking structure which is
owned and operated by the Applicant.
A 28’ drive aisle width btw. garages is required per LUC 3.2.2(L).

01/04/2017: Landscape plan -- The three ribbons of plantings along College
Do not provide a good design. All of the ribbons are about the same width.
Would suggest getting rid of the grass strip and making the design have larger
massings of perennial grasses and tougher evergreen sections such as the
dwarf varieties of Spruce, such as Globe Spruce.
Response: Design amended, grass strip removed.
Comment Number: 4 Comment Originated: 01/04/2017
01/04/2017: Would suggest looking at recent locally approved plans for plant
selections that are more bullet-proof and that will grow together in more

01/04/2017: Originally I had said that a 10’ wide parkway is required along the
College frontage, however the 5' parkway is allowable with the Midtown plan.
Overall the parkway design along the Choice Center looks bleak. The parkway
to the north for some reason is not currently installed per the approved
landscape plans. This needs to be investigated further. Would suggest massings
of low perennial grasses between the trees.

01/04/2017: Too much pavement touching the building in the NE corner and NE
portion of the site. Snow/ice issues and not aesthetically pleasing. Also walkway
next to building would have visibility/crossing issues. Think about ways to
combine walkways, such as the east/west walkways to the north, perhaps locate
shrubs to create privacy and buffering from S. College of the grass panel as
opposed to along the drive connection, perhaps a low wall/seating area
somewhere to the north, also the pedestrian crossing appears to be important
with the current Choice Center approval.

north side of the buildings.

01/04/2017: Bike area location is odd and tacked on. Only accessed by drive
