Ideally this line should be undergrounded outside of the pavement area (not within the widening for the right turn lane). 02/01/2017: We'll need confirmation on the outcome of Xcel's overhead lines. Either the plans should depict that they are undergrounded abutting the property, or conduit is installed by the development to accommodate future undergrounding. 11/16/2016: Please verify the status of the existing overhead line along Ziegler Road abutting the property. It would appear that this is no longer needed with the development and would then be undergrounded (or removed) with this project and should be indicated as such on the plans. Comment Number: 7 Comment Originated: 11/16/2016 03/08/2017: Carried over as unresolved. 02/02/2017:Please remove the right-of-way row shown on the Land Use Table in the Plat. I'm concerned that the indication of maintenance by the City could be in conflict with City Code provisions that would indicate certain aspects of right-of-way maintenance are the responsibility of the abutting property owner. Comment Number: 17 Comment Originated: 02/02/2017 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 11 03/08/2017: The utility plan sheet shows a telephone pedestal in between the sidewalk and curb along Ziegler Road at the entrance to County Fair Lane. Presuming this is an above ground pedestal, it needs to be moved behind the sidewalk. Comment Number: 18 Comment Originated: 03/08/2017 03/08/2017: The storm line that now heads south and outfalls to McClelland's Creek will also cross a subdrain main/outfall that runs in the same general direction as the existing 12" sanitary sewer. This subdrain line needs to be shown and reflected in the drawings. Comment Number: 19 Comment Originated: 03/08/2017 03/08/2017: Please add on Sheet R1 the depiction of existing flowline and centerline percent grades on County Fair Lane as evidence of the extension of the roadway matching existing (or having an acceptable grade break). Similarly on Sheet XS2, please also add the percent cross slopes for existing Ziegler Road to verify that the existing portion ties appropriately to the proposed cross slope for the turn lane. Comment Number: 20 Comment Originated: 03/08/2017 03/08/2017: Can we be provided a copy of the deed that addresses the last sentence of the "Surveyor's Note Concerning Subject Property Boundary"? Comment Number: 21 Comment Originated: 03/08/2017 03/08/2017: The submitted variance requests were approved after review by both Engineering and Traffic Operations. Please consider the date of approval as 3/7/2017. No additional correspondence will be provided unless otherwise requested. Comment Number: 22 Comment Originated: 03/08/2017 03/08/2017: The trees along Ziegler Road south of County Fair Lane appear to be closer to the road than the sidewalk. Is there the potential to have the trees at least halfway between the two (if not closer to the sidewalk). Just looking to try to reduce risk to either the trees or the roadway by being as further apart as possible. In some regards, with the turn lane to the north, it seems like there's the aesthetic ability to have all the trees along Ziegler Road along the same general alignment and providing more "framing" for the sidewalk. Comment Number: 23 Comment Originated: 03/08/2017 Department: Environmental Planning Contact: Stephanie Blochowiak, 970-416-4290, sblochowiak@fcgov.com Topic: General 03/06/2017: Update the songbird nesting note on landscape and utility plans to: "NO TREES SHALL BE REMOVED DURING THE SONGBIRD NESTING SEASON (FEBRUARY 1 TO JULY 31) WITHOUT FIRST HAVING A PROFESSIONAL ECOLOGIST OR WILDLIFE BIOLOGIST COMPLETE A NESTING SURVEY TO IDENTIFY ANY ACTIVE NESTS EXISTING ON THE PROJECT SITE. THE SURVEY SHALL BE SENT TO THE CITY ENVIRONMENTAL PLANNER.

Comment Number: 9 Comment Originated: 03/06/2017 Topic: Lighting Plan Page 4 of 11 03/06/2017: On photometric plan page 1 of 2 thank you for clearly and easily identifying 3000K or less luminaires are to be ordered and installed. Additional information on photometric plan page 2 of 2 is helpful, however, also call out explicitly which CCT is to be ordered and installed to avoid any confusion. This significantly aids city staff if and when there are issues or resident complaints post construction. Several departments within the City of Fort Collins have been working together to address lighting issues; they are referred to as the City’s Night Sky team. Results of the team’s work can currently be viewed on the City’s Public Records website in Resolution 2016-074, a summary of City of Fort Collins City Council Intent and General Policy Regarding Night Sky Objectives.

Please adjust the Plant List to account for all required upsized mitigation trees. (NOTE: If Hackberry #43 ends up being removed, please adjust the mitigation value to 46 upsized trees.) Comment Number: 5 Comment Originated: 02/01/2017 03/09/2017: Typically Lindens do not survive or thrive well along roads treated with deicing salts. Forestry suggests using Chinkapin Oaks in place of the Lindens along Ziegler Road. Comment Number: 6 Comment Originated: 03/09/2017 03/09/2017: Trees shown between buildings and sidewalk along Ziegler Road: - Please review tree locations in reference to street trees and provide increased separation where feasible. - Review the distance that some of the trees are shown from back of walk, which appears to be quite close, and provide increased separation where feasible. - Review some of the shade trees that appear to be close to the buildings and provide some increased separation where feasible. Comment Number: 7 Comment Originated: 03/09/2017 03/09/2017: Forestry generally does not recommend Prairiefire Crabapple due to disease issues. Please consider using the following ornamental species: o Red Barron Crabapple o Thunderchild Crabapple o Spring Snow Crabapple Comment Number: 8 Comment Originated: 03/09/2017 Page 5 of 11 03/09/2017: Cottonwood placement on south side of project: - Forestry would advise moving the Cottonwoods at a further distance from the building. - Please provide increased separation from existing Cottonwood and proposed Cottonwood. Comment Number: 9 Comment Originated: 03/09/2017 03/09/2017: Please place Rocky Mountain Juniper under the Evergreen Trees category in the Plant List and specify at 6’ height for planting. Comment Number: 10 Comment Originated: 03/09/2017 03/09/2017: Please move the street tree closest to the stop sign on County Fair Lane an additional 5-10 feet to the west for increased sight visibility. Comment Number: 11 Comment Originated: 03/09/2017 03/09/2017: Please confirm that overhead power lines will be undergrounded along Ziegler Road. Comment Number: 12 Comment Originated: 03/09/2017 Contact: Tim Buchanan, 970-221-6361, tbuchanan@fcgov.com Topic: Landscape Plans 03/09/2017: Continued: In reference to tree #43, Forestry believes it is very important to try to preserve this tree. The applicant’s analysis discusses moving the walk 4-5 feet further away from the tree. It appears that the outer bark of the tree is approximately 30” from the current edge of the sidewalk. Forestry is asking the applicant to evaluate moving the walk 2-3 feet to the east from its currently proposed location for feasibility. 2/1/17: Continued: It appears that this good tree, #43 Hackberry, could be retained. Please look into providing 3 to 4 foot separation between outer bark of the tree and sidewalk to allow for additional protection. * Comments marked with an asterisk have been resolved. 11/17/16: Tree Inventory/Mitigation Plan * It appears that there are an adequate number of new trees on the site to account for 35 mitigation trees. Off-site mitigation is not necessary. Please review placing 35 upsized mitigation trees on site. * Tree #58 is listed as to be protected, but should be removed based on its size and condition. Proper mitigation will need to be discussed. * Please set up a site visit to discuss construction impact of trees #59 (Cottonwood) and #47 (Green Ash ¿ multi-stemmed). These existing trees seem appear to be pretty close to proposed foundations. In regards to tree #43 (Hackberry), please explore placing the proposed sidewalk at a further distance away to reduce the impact to the roots. Comment Number: 1 Comment Originated: 11/18/2016 Page 6 of 11 3/8/2017: Continued: 2/1/17: Continued: If there are street lights, please show their locations and proper tree separation: forty (40) feet between shade trees and streetlights; fifteen (15) feet between ornamental trees and streetlights. There may have been some confusion, please review the first tree North of Country Fair Lane along Ziegler Road. It appears that this tree impacts sight line visibility. Please evaluate eliminating this street tree for improved visibility. * Comments marked with an asterisk have been resolved. 11/17/16: Street Trees If there are street lights, please show their locations and proper tree separation: forty (40) feet between shade trees and streetlights; fifteen (15) feet between ornamental trees and streetlights. * Please show locations of stop signs and proper tree separation: twenty (20) feet between shade and/or ornamental trees and traffic control signs and devices. The first tree north of County Fair Ln on Ziegler appears to impact sight line visibility. Please evaluate eliminating this street tree for improved visibility.
