Topic: General
Comment Number: 1 Comment Originated: 02/14/2017
02/14/2017: Road profiles and cross sections are only needed for public
roads. Private drives aren't necessary, but you're more than welcome to leave it
in the plan set.
The profile and typical cross-sections were left in the plan set to aid construction. It is understood that this
will not be reviewed by the City.
Comment Number: 2 Comment Originated: 02/14/2017
02/14/2017: The driveway proposed does not meet current standards. The
driveway will need to be rebuilt as a Type III driveway at a minimum of 24'.
However, it is highly recommended to install a 36' wide driveway to
accommodate both a left and right turn movement out of the site. Please refer to
redlines on Sheet C3.00 for driveway configuration for both a detached and
attached sidewalk.
The drive entrance has been revised to maintain a 24’ width for a length of 39 feet which will accommodate for
a stacking of two cars.

02/14/2017: Please show the limits of removal on Taft hill road as well as
Page 2 of 14
Dover Drive that's needed for utility cuts/sidewalk chase installation.
The approximate limits of street cut has been shown on the plans for Taft Hill Road to account for the
construction of the drive entrance and the water line installation. The approximate limits of concrete removal
have been shown on Dover Drive to account for the construction of the roll over curb and gutter, sidewalk,
and sidewalk chase.
Comment Number: 4 Comment Originated: 02/14/2017
02/14/2017: Please show the correct ROW limits on the Utility Plans. This
project is dedicating extra ROW and should reflect what is on the Plat.
The ROW line has been added to the plans to match the Plat. Call outs have also been added.
Comment Number: 5 Comment Originated: 02/14/2017
02/14/2017: It looks like a sanitary sewer service is missing on Lot 1 and a
water service is missing on Lot 7.
The sanitary sewer for the existing house within Lot 1 will remain undisturbed and in use and therefore is not
shown. The water service for Lot 7 has been added to the Utility Plan.
Comment Number: 6 Comment Originated: 02/14/2017
02/14/2017: Per the Conceptual comments, a 6' detached walk is needed
south of the existing pedestrian ramp. This can be rebuilt with the new driveway
that is needed.
The design has been revised to include a 6’ detached walk.
Comment Number: 7 Comment Originated: 02/14/2017
02/14/2017: Please show the pipe outlet of Pond A to verify that drainage will
work in this area.
An outlet pipe has been added to outfall into a proposed 2’ pan and is shown and labeled in the plans.
Comment Number: 8 Comment Originated: 02/14/2017
02/14/2017: The existing sanitary sewer main will need to be in a Utility
Easement. The offsite drainage will also need to be in a Drainage Easement.
Please see the following link for the process for easement dedications:
http://www.fcgov.com/engineering/pdf/Easrowdedications2010.pdf . The fees
are $250 per easement and the recording fees will vary depending on the
number of pages. A deed and legals will be required for each easement,
Please see the following link for the Easement Dedication Application:

Please see the following link for the Easement Dedication sample Deed:
http://www.fcgov.com/engineering/pdf/ESMwithAdminAcceptance9111.doc
There is currently an existing 15’ Sanitary Sewer Easement that has been noted on the plans. As for the
outfall of Pond A and the need for a Drainage Easement, a Legal Description and Exhibit has been included
with the submittal. It is understood that this will be reviewed by the above described separate process, but is
hoped that this can happen concurrently with the Entitlement Process.

02/14/2017: The grading to the south of the property near the driveway seem
steep. How will this transition to the existing property to the south?
The steepest section south of the entrance is at 11%, which we don’t feel is too steep for earth grading. We
can discuss further if you still have concerns.

Comment Number: 10 Comment Originated: 02/14/2017
02/14/2017: Are the Pond retaining walls going to be structural? There are
portions of the wall that are greater than 30". These will not be allowed within
easements.
All of the walls we are now proposing are below 30-inches. To achieve this height required for storage along
the southern property, we are now proposing a tiered system of 2 walls, none of which are greater than
30-inches.
Comment Number: 11 Comment Originated: 02/14/2017
02/14/2017: The lot that will have the offsite drainage has steep grades
towards the concrete pan. More spot elevations are needed to verify that the
public sidewalks will be to standard.
The grading within the lot east of the project has been revised. All grades are below 4:1 (25%) and labels
have been added to the plans.
Comment Number: 12 Comment Originated: 02/14/2017
02/14/2017: The sidewalk chase on Dover Drive will need to be reconfigured
so that the chase isn't within the Lot's driveway. Please see the LCUASS
dimensions for an attached sidewalk chase. There is a minimum 10' section
that is needed.
The driveway has been modified to allow for the complete 10-foot LCUASS section outside of the drive path.
A curbed concrete pan has been added to channel the flow into the sidewalk chase.
Comment Number: 13 Comment Originated: 02/14/2017
02/14/2017: The plat indicates that Tract A is a private access easement. Who
is the private access easement being dedicated to?
The definition of Tract A has been revised to include Utility, Drainage and Access.

02/13/2017: Current proposed native seed mix is not appropriate for Fort
Collins ecotone and elevations (4,800 – 5,660 feet) nor are they considered
native. Additionally, hydro-seeding is not recommended. Provide scientific
names along with common names for native seed mix species, include percent
of each species, application rate for drill seed application and rate for
broadcast seed method (double drill seed rate). Consider mixes which include
all or most of the following: Buffalo grass (B. dactyloides); Sideoats grama (B.
curtipendula); Blue grama (B. gracilis); Alkali sacation (S. airoides); Western
wheatgrass (P. smithii); Switchgrass (P. virgatum); Sand Dropseed (S.
cryptandrus); Sixweeks fescue (V. octoflora).
Noted. Hydroseed note has been removed and a seed mix has been provided using most of the species
suggested, however, further discussion on the use and desired appearance is requested as we were not

THEN SEEDED IN TWO DIRECTIONS TO DISTRIBUTE SEED EVENTLY
OVER ENTIRE AREA.
b. IF CHANGES ARE TO BE MADE TO SEED MIX BASED ON SITE
CONDITIONS APPROVAL MUST BE PROVIDED BY CITY ENVIRONMENTAL
PLANNER.
c. PRIOR TO SEEDING SOIL WILL BE AERATED AND SOIL AMENDMENTS
ADDED AS NECESSARY. APPROPRIATE NATIVE SEEDING EQUIPMENT
WILL BE USED (STANDARD TURF SEEDING EQUIPMENT SHALL NOT BE
USED).
d. DRILL SEED APPLICATION RECOMMENDED PER SPECIFIED
APPLICATION RATE TO NO MORE THAN 1 INCH DEPTH. FOR
BROADCAST SEEDING INSTEAD OF DRILL SEEDING METHOD - DOUBLE
SPECIFICIED APPLICATION RATE. REFER TO NATIVE SEED MIX TABLE
FOR SPECIES, PERCENTAGES AND APPLICATION RATES.
e. TREAT NATIVE SEED MIX AREA PRIOR TO INSTALLATION OF SEED
WITH APPROPRIATE HERBICIDE TO HELP CONTROL HERBACEOUS
WEED SPECIES. ONLY AFTER APPROPRIATE TIME PERIOD THEN
APPLY NATIVE SEED AS CALLED FOR ON APPROVED PLANS.
f. AFTER SEEDING THE AREA SHALL BE COVERED WITH CRIMPED
STRAW OR OTHER APPROPRIATE METHODS AND PROVIDED
TEMPORARY IRRIGATION UNTIL SEED IS ESTABLISHED. CONTRACTOR
SHALL MONITOR SEEDED AREA FOR PROPER IRRIGATION, EROSION
CONTROL, GERMINATION AND RESEEDING AS NEEDED TO ESTABLISH
COVER.
g. THE APPROVED SEED MIX AREA IS INTENDED TO BE MAINTAINED IN
A NATURAL-LIKE LANDSCAPE AESTHETIC. IF AND WHEN MOWING
OCCURS IN NATIVE GRASS SEED MIX AREAS DO NOT MOW LOWER
THAN 6-8 INCHES IN HEIGHT TO AVOID INHIBITING NATIVE PLANT
GROWTH.
h. NATIVE SEED AREA WILL BE CONSIDERED ESTABLISHED WHEN
SEVENTY-PERCENT TOTAL COVER IS REACHED WITH NO LARGER

Existing Trees
The proposed drainage swale on the North side of the property appears to be
quite close to some significant trees that are to be retained. To further evaluate,
Forestry requests that the applicant schedule a meeting with the City Forester to
review impact to tree roots. A meeting will be scheduled.
The three smaller Ash, along the northern boundary and closest to Taft Hill Road
are not numbered nor included in the tree mitigation table. Please include these
trees on the plans.
Per an email sent on 2/27, some of these trees are off of our property, but are noted in the legend
as "remaining". The other two trees on our property have been added to the table and accounted
for.
Tree #1 has a major trunk cavity and is potentially hazardous. City Forestry
recommends that this tree be removed for safety concerns.
This has been marked for removal.
If any off-site boundary trees will be removed by this project, then written
approval by the adjacent property owner should be provided and submitted to
the City Forester.

a Chinkapin Oak.
This has been changed to Chinkapin Oak.
The south street tree along Taft Hill Road is quite close to the gas line. Please
move it further to the south of the gas line to provide additional utility tree
separation.

02/15/2017: The existing residence and associated garage at 2106 S. Taft Hill
Road were evaluated on January 20, 2017 to determine if the structures are
eligible for designation as local Fort Collins landmarks. The Director of CDNS
and a member of the Landmark Preservation Commission performed that
evaluation, which determined that both structures are fine examples of
streamline moderne architecture and are eligible for designation. The
determination was posted for 14 days to allow for appeal and no action was
taken during that period. That determination requires the subsequent
development on and near the parcel to be evaluated under Land Use Code
section 3.4.7.
Acknowledged.
Comment Number: 2 Comment Originated: 02/15/2017
02/15/2017: LUC 3.4.7 ensures that, to the maximum extent feasible, historic
sites and structures are preserved and incorporated into proposed
development and undertakings that may alter the characteristics of a historic
property must avoid adversely affecting the integrity of the property and respect
its character. Historic Preservation staff has met with the applicant and
discussed the particular importance of applying 3.4.7 to new construction on Lot
2 of the proposed development. Its abutting proximity to the historic buildings
will require a building design that meets the requirements of 3.4.7 regarding
height, setback, width, compatible design elements and building materials,
historic landscaping, and visual and pedestrian connections. The parties
agreed that a note would be added to the plat as well as the development
agreement that includes the following language: "As required by Land Use
Code section 3.4.7(F), the new construction on Lot 2 shall be similar to the
height, setback, and width of existing historic structures to the maximum extent
feasible, and shall be designed to be in character with same based on visual
elements such as window patterns and use of brick as the dominant building
material. In order to receive a building permit for Lot 2, a review for compliance
with 3.4.7 will be required and must also include a plan of protection for the
existing historic structures that specifies how they will be protected from
damage during construction."
Acknowledged. Further discussion was requested as the owner is willing to include language
on height, setback and width, but would like to strike the language pertaining to the character,
visual elements, window patterns and building materials in general as it is the owner's opinion that
this will put an unfair burden on the future owner of the lot and could potentially devalue the lot and

02/02/2017: EMERGENCY ACCESS EASEMENT
The EAE as detailed on the plat appears to indicate two distinct access
easements: (1) All of Tract A and (2) The dead-end stub between Lots 4 & 5.
For simplicity, the limits of the EAE should be described as one dedication on
the plat, rather than two.
The Plat and the Utility Plans now show Tract A as being an Utility, Drainage and Access Easement. We
have also delineated a defined Emergency Access Easement to illustrate the required movement through
use of a hammer head design.
Comment Number: 2 Comment Originated: 02/02/2017
02/02/2017: DEAD-END FIRE LANES
Dead-end fire access roads exceeding 150' shall be provided with an approved
turnaround for fire apparatus. The cul-de-sac as shown has a 70' diameter
where 100' is the minimum allowable diameter (50' radius). If the intent is to
provide an alternative turnaround, that turnaround shall be designed to meet
minimum fire lane specifications.
At this time, a functional turnaround has not been achieved with this plan. The
35' dead-end stub, extending to the north is labeled as an EAE on the plat
however, it does not meet minimum dimensions for length, width, or turning
radii. The design is awkward and construction details were not provided to
indicate it will support 40 tons. Fire lane specifications are provided below for
planning purposes.
In addition to the design criteria already contained in relevant standards and
policies, any new fire lane must meet the following general requirements:
> Shall be designated on the plat as an Emergency Access Easement.
> Maintain the required 20 foot minimum unobstructed width & 14 foot minimum
overhead clearance.
> Be designed as a flat, hard, all-weather driving surface capable of supporting
40 tons.
> The required turning radii of a fire apparatus access road shall be a minimum
of 25 feet inside and 50 feet outside.
> Be visible by painting and/or signage, and maintained unobstructed at all
times. Sign locations or red curbing should be labeled and detailed on final
plans.
The above described Emergency Access Easement illustrates how the hammer head design is
accommodating the current standards. A hard surface will be designed to support 40-tons throughout the
movement.

02/02/2017: FIRE LANE SIGNS
The limits of the fire lane shall be fully defined throughout. Fire lane sign
locations should be indicated on future plan sets. Refer to LUCASS detail

roads shall be marked with permanent NO PARKING - FIRE LANE signs
Page 9 of 14
complying with Figure D103.6. Signs shall have a minimum dimension of 12
inches wide by 18 inches high and have red letters on a white reflective
background. Signs shall be posted on one or both sides of the fire apparatus
road as required by Section D103.6.1 or D103.6.2.
“No Parking” signs have been added along the southern side of the private drive. We have also included
signage around the emergency backing area. Please see the Private Drive Street Plan and Profile.

02/09/2017: PAVERS
Fire lanes shall be designed as a flat, hard, all-weather driving surface capable
of supporting 40 tons. Private drives incorporating pavers as surface for fire
lanes shall provide geotech information confirming the paver design can handle
fire truck loading.
The pavers will be designed to support a 40 ton vehicle. Further geotechnical information can be provided at
Final Plans.

02/09/2017: LANDSCAPING
The Landscape Plan indicates proposed trees canopies encroaching on the
fire lane. The fire lane shall remain unobstructed at all times to a height of 14'
and mature trees will need to be trimmed within the fire lane. This comment
should be reflected in the development agreement and included as part of the
HOA. Otherwise, PFA recommends substituting a different tree species or
variety.
Tree location was adjusted to avoid encroachment.

Hydrant spacing and flow must meet minimum requirements based on type of
occupancy. Hydrants are required on 800' centers in residential areas. The
hydrant on the cul-de-sac is located appropriately so as to serve the planned
development on the private drive, but due to the separation distances between
hydrants along Taft Hill Road (approximately 1,900'), an additional fire hydrant
will be required on Taft Hill Road.
A Fire hydrant has been added at drive entrance to divide the span between the two existing fire hydrants.

02/13/2017: From the Streets department - "Please request that the developer
redesign the entrance so that the sidewalk will be detached and behind the
entrance approach. This will be safer for pedestrians because they will be
farther from traffic and will also keep the sidewalk free of water and ice. The
detached sidewalk condition is a standard detail for development. This allows
the vehicle entrance to remain steep and thus keep water in the flowline; as
currently shown, the sidewalk would have to be depressed to maintain the 2%

ADA cross slope and would inevitably fill with water, ice, and debris. There
appears to be enough ROW available to the south to allow for this design." See

from the primary entrance and/or the lot line from which the lot takes its address,
which means that Lot 1 is out of compliance with 3.6.2(G). Please add
buffering/enhanced landscaping to Lot 1 and submit a brief request for
alternative compliance. The request should emphasize that the existing building
on Lot 1 is an existing condition, that enhanced landscaping and street trees

02/17/2017: The retaining wall is near 4 feet in some locations where a
separate building permit and a structural analysis will be required.
All of the walls we are now proposing are below 30-inches. To achieve this height required for storage along
the southern property, we are now proposing a tiered system of 2 walls, none of which are greater than
30-inches.

02/17/2017: The retaining wall (including any footers) must be entirely located
on the property. The south retaining wall may need to be moved north to
accommodate the footers.
Due to the revised height of the walls, footer will not be required and will remain entirely on-site.

We will need to work with you to determine the treatment at the access to alert
drivers to the activated HAWK signal.
Until a firm plan is in place, a note has been added to the Street Plan and Profile to rotate the existing Hawk
Light to allow for vehicles on both Taft Hill Road and the Private Drive to utilize the same warning signal.
