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. Comment Response Letter - Responses shown below in highlighted red text. 5/31/16 alm2s and TST Comment Summary: Department: Planning Services Contact: Clay Frickey, 970-224-6045, cfrickey@fcgov.com Topic: Building Elevations Comment Number: 4 Comment Originated: 02/23/2016 02/23/2016: It appears there are a few discrepancies between the elevations and perspectives shown. Please revise the elevations so they match the elevations. Response: Perspectives have been deleted. Elevations have been updated based on comments from the two rounds of LPC review. Comment Number: 5 Comment Originated: 02/24/2016 02/24/2016: Portions of the building along both the northern and southern property line does not comply with the maximum wall height standards outlined in Land Use Code section 4.8(E)(4). This standard states that any wall that exceeds 18' in height as measured from the natural grade at the interior lot line adjacent to the wall must be setback an additional 1' for every 2' the wall exceeds 18'. In order to have a wall height of 29' as shown, the building would have to be set back at least 11' from the north property line. Alternatively, the building can step back 1' for every 2' above 18'. You will either need a modification to this standard or will need to adjust the elevations accordingly. Response: A modification to the standard is being requested. A setback illustration in elevation and roof plan is shown on sheet 6, Architectural Elevations. The need to request a variance could be avoided by using a standard hip or dutch hip vs. a straight gable roofline but we feel that a gable roof form is more appropriate for the neighborhood context. Topic: General Comment Number: 1 Comment Originated: 02/17/2016 02/17/2016: Comment from GIS - Projects with three or more tenant units require the Unit Level Addressing form to be completed and submitted to the GIS Department after plans have met final approval through Development Review and are recorded with the City. This can occur anytime during construction, but before any utilities or address signs are installed. All addressing will be determined by the GIS Department and submitted to Poudre Fire Authority, USPS, Building Services, and Fort Collins Utilities. Failure to contact GIS and determining addresses through other means may result in address change The Unit Level Addressing form can be obtained by contacting the GIS office after the plans are recorded at gis@fcgov.com or (970) 416-2483. Response: As noted, will be completed after plans have met final approval. Comment Number: 2 Comment Originated: 02/23/2016 02/23/2016: Since a portion of the proposed fence on the southern property line exceeds 6' in height, you will need to submit a modification request to Land Use Code section 3.8.11(C)(3). Response: Extending the fence up to 8’ along a portion of the south property was a request from the neighbor to the south for additional privacy. We will include this in our modification request. Comment Number: 3 Comment Originated: 02/23/2016 02/23/2016: Please submit proposed elevations for the fence to be installed along the south property line. Response: An elevation of the 8’ high section of fence is included on the site plan sheet. Department: Engineering Development Review Contact: Katie Sexton, 970-221-6501, ksexton@fcgov.com Topic: General Comment Number: 1 Comment Originated: 02/22/2016 02/22/2016: Please show required utility easements (8¿' along alley, 9¿' behind sidewalk along Peterson) on site plan and utility plan. If the property is not being re-platted, the easements will need to be dedicated by separate document per the procedures outlined here: http://www.fcgov.com/engineering/pdf/Easrowdedications2010.pdf Response: These are now shown on the Utility and Site Plans. They will be registered by separate document. Comment Number: 2 Comment Originated: 02/22/2016 02/22/2016: The scale indicated by the site plan suggests that the trash enclosure is partially within the area where there will be a required utility easement (8'¿ width along alley). If the enclosure requires a building permit, it will not be permitted in the easement (this is height dependent and a zoning topic). Response: The height of the trash enclosure has been reduced to 5’-8” with elevations shown on the site plan sheet, therefore a building permit will not be required. Comment Number: 3 Comment Originated: 02/22/2016 02/22/2016: Please add visual/bar scale to the site plan so that distances can be measured even if the image gets printed or reproduced not to scale.

Would Swale D work better as a concrete pan? Additionally, the outlet for this swale will need to be through a concrete chase as runoff across a sidewalk is not allowed. Response: Swale D has been changed to a concrete pan with a chase under the sidewalk. Comment Number: 3 Comment Originated: 02/23/2016 02/23/2016: The existing impervious area documentation only applies to the detention requirement. For LID and water quality, all new or modified impervious area will need to be treated. Please revise the LID appropriately since only Basin A is being treated, which does not equal 93.54% of the new or modified impervious area. Additionally, water quality will need to be provided for the new or modified impervious area in Basins B and C. Assuming the LID treatment in Basin A meets the 50% site treatment requirement, the remainder of the site can either be treated through LID or standard water quality methods. Response: After further discussion on site constraints, a variance is being submitted to cover WQCV in Basins B and C.
