Please note that the fence will need to be installed prior to the issuance of a CO. 07/06/2015: How will you be screening the trash and recycling enclosure? Please provide elevations of the proposed screening. Comment Number: 4 Comment Originated: 07/06/2015 Department: Engineering Development Review Contact: Marc Virata, 970-221-6567, mvirata@fcgov.com Topic: General Please see the following summary of comments from City staff and outside reviewing agencies for your submittal of the above referenced project. If you have questions about any comments, you may contact the individual commenter or direct your questions through the Project Planner, Clay Frickey, at 970-224-6045 or cfrickey@fcgov.com. Page 1 of 8 10/06/2015: The legal descriptions provided pertaining to the two easement dedications and right-of-way dedication should all be titled Exhibit A instead of Exhibits A, B & C, as our standard deeds of dedication would have to have their references changed from their standard Exhibit A reference otherwise. These legals are being checked by Technical Services. We'll need completed deeds of dedication along with $750 total Transportation Development Review Fee for 3 dedications, and recording fees (amount to be determined), prior to approval of the mylars. (Note that a replat of the property with these dedications being done by the replat is another option that negates the need for the fees listed, but I'm unsure what are the cost/time implications with the replat option. Either options is equally acceptable.) 07/07/2015: The project needs to reflect the dedication of additional right-of-way along both Red Cedar Circle and Conifer Street in order for the sidewalk installed along both streets (to the collector standard with an 8 foot parkway and 5 foot detached sidewalk) to be in right-of-way. In addition, dedication of additional utility easement behind the new right-of-way is required in order to ensure a total of a 9 foot utility easement from behind the new right-of-way line. Each deed of dedication for right-of-way and utility easement (if done by separate document and not done via replat) will require a $250 deed of dedication fee as part of our Transportation Development Review Fee schedule as well as recording costs to record the deeds of dedication as assessed by Larimer County.

Furthermore, if removal is scheduled between March 15 and October 31, a burrowing owl survey will need to be completed following the Colorado Division of Parks and Wildlife survey requirements.

We did receive an environmental report but it is not the standard ECS required by LUC 3.4.1. We are willing to waive the ECS requirement and accept an updated Black-tailed Prairie Dog removal plan, as addressed in comment #2. 08/21/2015: The response to comments notes that an Ecological Characterization Study was completed, but we do not have it in our records. Was this provided prior to the submittal? Please send to Kelly Kimple (kkimple@fcgov.com) and myself (reverette@fcgov.com) for review. Comment Number: 1 Comment Originated: 08/21/2015 08/21/2015: The prairie dog removal plan references a different site than what is currently proposed. Please update the removal plan with the correct site information. Comment Number: 2 Comment Originated: 08/21/2015 Page 2 of 8 10/07/2015: In order to further comply with Section 3.4.1 of the Land Use Code, to replace the lost ecological value from the removal of the site's prairie dog colony, City staff recommends additional landscaping on-site that provides enhanced habitat for birds, insects, and small terrestrial wildlife, such as evergreen trees, fruit-bearing trees and shrubs, and flowering plants. 08/21/2015: As noted at the conceptual review stage, mitigation for the removal of the prairie dog colony will be requried to replace the value of the habitat that will be lost. Please coordinate with Kelly Kimple (kkimple@fcgov.com) or myslef (reverette@fcgov.com) to further discuss how mitigation will occur.

It appears that the underdrain in the LID swale is fairly close to these trees. Contact the City Forester for an on-site meeting to evaluate possible impact to these existing trees.
