Comment Number: 1 Comment Originated: 01/05/2017 01/04/2017: Please replace the existing Permit Box note with the correct Required Street Tree note, which is placed in a bolded box. This is available from the City Forester. Comment Number: 2 Comment Originated: 01/05/2017 01/04/2017: Please explore widening the parking lot island widths, if at all possible. The City Forester suggests Regal Prince Oak or Prairie Sentinel Hackberry as alternative species that would fit better in these narrow spaces. Comment Number: 3 Comment Originated: 01/05/2017 01/04/2017: Please consider using Red Barron Crabapple where Adirondack Crabapples are currently proposed. Red Barron will likely have better availability. Comment Number: 4 Comment Originated: 01/05/2017 01/04/2016: Please explore using Linden in place of Honeylocust, due to their adaptability to shade. Comment Number: 5 Comment Originated: 01/05/2017 Department: Light And Power Contact: Coy Althoff, , CAlthoff@fcgov.com Topic: General Page 3 of 8 01/03/2017: Light & Power have existing facilities in this area. There is primary 3-phase power available in the alley way east of this property as well as streetlight and flood light circuits along Magnolia St. and College Ave. Comment Number: 1 Comment Originated: 01/03/2017 01/03/2017: The existing 400W HPS light on the north-central part of this property is part of the Fort Collins Light & Power "floodlight" program. At this time, the monthly fee is part of the Wells Fargo utility bill. Please contact Light & Power, Project Engineering to have this structure removed prior to demolition. Comment Number: 2 Comment Originated: 01/03/2017 01/03/2017: As your project begins to move forward please contact Light and Power Engineering to coordinate the streetlight, transformer and electric meter locations, please show the locations on the utility plans.

Magnolia. Comment Number: 1 Comment Originated: 12/12/2016 Department: Planning Services Contact: Meaghan Overton, 970-416-2283, moverton@fcgov.com Topic: General 01/03/2017: It would be helpful if the site and landscape plans were larger. Right now it’s difficult to see the detail. Comment Number: 1 Comment Originated: 01/03/2017 01/04/2017: Per street maintenance - please remove drive on College and replace with sod/turf or similar. Comment Number: 7 Comment Originated: 01/04/2017 Topic: Landscape Plans 01/03/2017: Please cross-reference the legend on the landscape plan with the plant schedule. I can’t easily tell how many of each species are shown on the landscape plan the way it’s currently organized. Comment Number: 2 Comment Originated: 01/03/2017 Page 4 of 8 01/03/2017: The existing trees need to be more clearly shown. The tree notes show 16 trees, but the existing landscape plan only shows 9 trees. Where are the other 7 trees? In particular, the deciduous trees are hard to see because the linework overlaps. Any trees removed from the site should be noted as such along with detail for mitigation. Comment Number: 3 Comment Originated: 01/03/2017 Topic: Modification of Standard 01/03/2017: The justification for the modification of standard should focus more on why the proposed solutions meet the general purpose of the standard in 3.2.2(J) "equally well or better than" a plan that complied with the standard. The justification as written emphasizes the impact to the parking lot, not how well the proposed solution meets the purpose of the standard. Also note that the 15 foot setback applies only to the College Avenue side of the parking lot. The setback from the alley only needs to be a minimum of 5 feet. Comment Number: 5 Comment Originated: 01/03/2017 01/03/2017: Staff's analysis of the requested modification of standard will consider the consistency of the setback with the adjacent building to the north, the efficacy and aesthetic compatibility of the materials chosen for screening, and the movement of pedestrians around the site (e.g. the closure of the College Avenue access point). Please address these points in your revised modification request. Comment Number: 6 Comment Originated: 01/03/2017 Department: Stormwater Engineering Contact: Heather McDowell, 970-224-6065, hmcdowell@fcgov.com Topic: Construction Drawings 12/30/2016: The grading plan should be reconfigured such that runoff will infiltrate into the paver sections and not bypass the pavers at an unknown rate into the public street. The proposed u-channel is actually the low point for one of the paver sections, which means that an unspecified amount of runoff is going to simply escape through the u-channel. This channel should either be eliminated or modified so that it is not at the low point. Comment Number: 2 Comment Originated: 12/30/2016 12/30/2016: The underdrains don’t appear to be located at the low end of the paver sections. This should be revised. Comment Number: 3 Comment Originated: 12/30/2016 12/30/2016: The drainage plan includes a table for each paver section and run-on ratios. Please label each paver section in the plan view so I know which one is which. In addition, the run-on area for each paver section will need to be shown on an exhibit that is included within the drainage report. Currently, the run-on areas are not clear. Comment Number: 4 Comment Originated: 12/30/2016 Topic: Drainage Report 12/30/2016: Please note that Table RO-11 from the FCSCM should be referenced and utilized for runoff coefficients instead of Table RO-3 from the USDCM. Comment Number: 5 Comment Originated: 12/30/2016 12/30/2016: The 100-year orifice calculations need to be included in the report. Comment Number: 6 Comment Originated: 12/30/2016 Page 5 of 8 12/30/2016: The UD-Detention spreadsheet uses Denver rainfall data to calculate runoff and therefore detention volume. We don’t allow this spreadsheet to compute detention volume. Please put together your own mass-balance spreadsheet, using Fort Collins rainfall data and following the requirements of Chapter 10, Section 3.2.3. Comment Number: 7 Comment Originated: 12/30/2016 12/30/2016: The UD-Detention spreadsheet can be utilized for stage storage computations but I can’t tell how you’re including only the void space volume in the paver sub-grade. You should be assuming a 30% void space and this should be stated in the report. Also, the elevations shown on this spreadsheet need to be related back to the paver sub-grade section so I can verify that the detention volume is within the rock layer of the sub-grade and/or verify that the 12-inch depth of this layer is adequate. Comment Number: 8 Comment Originated: 12/30/2016 Contact: Heidi Hansen, 970-221-6854, hhansen@fcgov.com Topic: Floodplain 01/03/2017: Per the Floodplain Review Checklist, please add and label the 100-year floodplain and floodway boundaries on the Site Plan. Comment Number: 9 Comment Originated: 01/03/2017 01/03/2017: Staff will provide comments on the Floodplain Use Permit separately. The floodplain use permit with no-rise certification must be approved prior to construction. An as-built survey will be required after construction for no-rise recertification. Comment Number: 10 Comment Originated: 01/03/2017 Contact: Jesse Schlam, 970-218-2932, jschlam@fcgov.com Topic: Erosion Control 12/20/2016: The site disturbs more than 10,000 sq. ft., therefore Erosion and Sediment Control Materials need to be submitted for FDP. The erosion control requirements are in the Stormwater Design Criteria under the Amendments of Volume 3 Chapter 7 Section 1.3.3. Current Erosion Control Materials Submitted do not meet requirements. Please submit; an Erosion Control Plan (Based upon redlines), an Erosion Control Report, and an Escrow / Security Calculation.
