05/31/2017: Based on a recent site visit, there do not appear to be any prairie
dogs inhabiting the site. Staff recommends installing temporary barrier fencing
or using other methods to ensure that prairie dogs do not migrate onto the site
from adjacent properties prior to development activities. If there are prairie
dogs present at the time of construction, additional requirements for prairie dog
removal and mitigation will be applicable.
This information will be passed on to the Owner and Contractor (when chosen).

05/31/2017: LIGHTING PLAN: The light fixture schedule and spec sheets for
the light fixtures are not legible at the size they were printed. Please enlarge
and/or put on a separate sheet.
Plans have been revised to be more legible.
Comment Number: 3 Comment Originated: 05/31/2017
05/31/2017: LIGHTING PLAN: In regard to lighting, especially LED light
fixtures, cooler color temperatures are harsher at night and cause more
disruption to circadian (biological) rhythms for both humans and wildlife.
Warmer color temperature (warm white, 3000K or less) for any LED light
fixtures is preferred. Please specify the color temperature that will be selected
on your lighting plans.
CL Response All Fixtures changed to warmer color temp and added color temp to the schedule.
Please also consider fixtures with dimming capabilities so that light levels can
be adjusted as needed. Site light sources shall be fully shielded and
down-directional to minimize up-light, light spillage and glare [see LUC 3.2.4(D)
(3)].

06/05/2017: WATER SUPPLY
A hydrant is required within 300' of any Commercial Building as measured
along an approved path of vehicle travel. The hydrant located on the west side
of Academy Court, across from the development's entrance, appears to meet
code requirements at roughly 127' from the building by way of vehicle travel. The
development is also responsible for the hydrant requirement along Prospect
(one hydrant every 600'). There is currently a 1700' deficiency along Prospect
and a hydrant will be required along Prospect at this time. Code language
follows:
COMMERCIAL REQUIREMENTS
> IFC 507.5 and PFA Policy: Hydrants to provide 1,500 gpm at 20 psi residual
pressure, spaced not further than 300 feet to the building, on 600-foot centers
thereafter
A new hydrant has been located on the NE corner of the intersection of Prospect Road and Academy Ct.

06/05/2017: FIRE LANES
Fire access is required to within 150' of all exterior portions of any building as
measured by an approved route around the perimeter. The proposed EAE
appears to meet fire access requirements. To ensure the fire apparatus can
negotiate the 5' radii turn in the site, PFA shall require an autoturn exhibit.
An auto-turn exhibit using fire apparatus dimensions supplied by PFA was emailed to Cal on 6-14-17. CBA
has requested a traditional commercial access with 20’ radius.
Comment Number: 3 Comment Originated: 06/05/2017
06/05/2017: FIRE LANE SIGNS
The limits of the fire lane shall be fully defined. Fire lane sign locations should be
indicated on future plan sets as "No Parking - Fire Lane". Additional signs (3)
are required along the west side of the EAE, per the redlines provided. Sign
detail shall be amended per comment #4. Code language provided below.
> IFC D103.6: Where required by the fire code official, fire apparatus access
roads shall be marked with permanent NO PARKING - FIRE LANE signs
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.
A new Fire Lane Sign detail has been added to the plan set and the requested placement locations are shown
on the site plan in the Utility Plan set.
Comment Number: 4 Comment Originated: 06/05/2017
06/05/2017: FIRE LANE SIGN DETAIL
The limits of the fire lane shall be fully defined. Refer to LUCASS detail #1418
for sign specifications, amend the plans (sheet C7) by removing "By order of
the Fire Marshal" and replacing that with appropriate directional arrows.
Sign has been updated on detail sheet.
Comment Number: 5 Comment Originated: 06/05/2017
06/05/2017: BUILDING HEIGHT
Per site plan (S1), a maximum building height of 35' is indicated. The elevation
sheets provided do not support this detail but PFA requires confirmation of the
maximum building height. Buildings over 30' in height (when measured from
eave of a pitch, intersection of roof and exterior wall, or top of parapet wall,
whichever is greater) trigger additional requirements for aerial fire apparatus.
Revised plans will be required identifying the correct maximum building height.
The Site Plan has been revised with correct building height of 24’ as shown on the Architectural Elevations.
- ARCH Response The building is 24’-0” a.f.f. high at the highest point. This is dimensioned on sheet
A-4, Exterior Elevations.
Comment Number: 6 Comment Originated: 06/05/2017
06/05/2017: LANDSCAPE PLAN
The proposed Landscape Plan indicates that tree canopy diameters may
encroach on the fire lane over time (the 2 trees located at the site entrance).
PFA would like to ensure the integrity of the EAE remains as the trees mature
and a canopy develops. The EAE shall be maintained to 14' in height. This
comment is aimed to preserve the trees and the fire apparatus.
LA Response: The trees have been shifted away from the entry. The entry was been revised from a drive
cut to a commercial entry. The revised entry will be reflected on the final LS and irrigation plans.

Topic: Building Elevations
Comment Number: 8 Comment Originated: 06/02/2017
06/02/2017: 3.5.3(E)(1) of the Land Use Code requires that standardized
prototype buildings use materials, colors, and other building elements to better
fit in with the Fort Collins community. The elevations as shown use high quality
materials but are the Christian Brothers Automotive prototype, which violates
this standard. To meet this standard, staff recommends using a local sandstone
for the base level of the building instead of the limestone as proposed. This
would make the building fit the local vernacular and satisfy this standard. The
buff styles you should look for are Loveland buff and Lyons Red buff, both of
which can be sourced from local quarries.
- ARCH Response Exterior materials have been changed to staff recommendations. See sheet A-4,
Exterior Elevations.
Comment Number: 9 Comment Originated: 06/02/2017
06/02/2017: Please submit a materials sheet with information about the colors
of each material. This will help staff ensure the building meets all of the
requirements of section 3.5 of the Land Use Code dealing with architectural
compatibility.
- ARCH Response Exterior materials sheet is attached.

Comment Number: 4 Comment Originated: 06/02/2017
06/02/2017: There are some inconsistencies between the square footage
dedicated to landscaping show on the site plan and what is shown for the water
budget calculations. When adding up the square footage for the water budget,
the square footage dedicated to landscaping is 30,227 sq. ft. The gross area
coverage table on the site plan indicates landscaping takes up 30,938 sq. ft.
Please make sure these numbers are consistent throughout the submittal.
Number are now consistent between site plan and water budget calculations.
Comment Number: 10 Comment Originated: 06/02/2017
06/02/2017: In conjunction with the change from limestone to sandstone for the
base of the building, consider adding or changing a couple of the proposed
trees to a pine tree of some sort. Hoopsi and Bakeri Spruce trees are smaller
and don't have the spread of a larger spruce but will add a nice contrast to the
materials of the building along with year-round greenery.
This comment has been passed on to the Owner and Landscape consultant.

Comment Number: 5 Comment Originated: 06/02/2017
06/02/2017: Generally speaking, the landscape plan looks good. There are a
couple of discrepancies, however, between what is shown on the landscape
plan and what is shown on the planting table. Please fix the following
discrepancies:
GYDI - Table shows 7, plan shows 8. Update table to show 8.
CACL - Planting of these shrubs on the south end of the building shows 10
plants but the label indicates 8. Update label to show 10.
LA Response: All labels and the legend have been updated.
Comment Number: 6 Comment Originated: 06/02/2017
06/02/2017: The water budget calculation uses an incorrect denominator.
Based on the square footage shown on the landscape plan, the denominator
should be 30,227 sq. ft. Please update the calculation based on the correct
denominator. Please also ensure the square footage of the landscape area is
consistent with what is shown on the site plan per comment 4.
LA Response: The calculations have been updated. (30,102 SF)
Comment Number: 7 Comment Originated: 06/02/2017
06/02/2017: Please change one of the Kentucky Coffee Trees with one of the
other species used on the site. As shown, the Kentucky Coffee Trees make up
more than 33% of the species on-site, which exceeds the maximum allowed per
Land Use Code section 3.2.1(D)(3).
LA Response: The tree quantities have been adjusted.

Comment Number: 1 Comment Originated: 06/02/2017
06/02/2017: The 26 parking spaces proposed exceeds the maximum allowed
per Land Use Code section 3.2.2(K)(2). Please remove one parking space to
meet the maximum of 25 parking spaces. You may also submit a request for a
modification to this standard following the criteria outlined in Section 2.8 of the
Land Use Code.
The 26 spaces have been allowed based on no-parking allowed on Academy Court.

for the Drainage Report exhibit.
Comment Number: 3 Comment Originated: 05/31/2017
05/31/2017: Grading Plan – It appears as though you are tying into the existing
storm line at its invert. If that is the case, it needs to be assumed that there is an
HGL in that pipeline that is going to impact and back up into your proposed
detention basin. If the HGL is unknown, then you need to assume that the HGL is
at the crown of the existing pipe and assume the volume of the detention pond
starts at that elevation.
The outlet pipe from the detention pond will tie into the existing storm sewer at the existing crown elevation.
An assumed HGL elevation at the crown of the existing pipe is shown which results in less than 1” of
surcharge at the pond outlet structure.
Comment Number: 4 Comment Originated: 05/31/2017

The outlet label and detail now match.
Comment Number: 5 Comment Originated: 05/31/2017
05/31/2017: The LID requirements for this site need to be more specifically
explained and designed. The drainage report references a bio-swale, but the
landscape plans reference a rain garden and the utility plans don’t show
anything. The utility plans need to show and label the location of the bio-swale or
rain garden. The plans must also show how the maximum run-on ratios are not
being exceeded. Bio-swale maximum run-on ratio is 10:1. Rain gardens are
sized using the WQCV for the area draining to it with a maximum depth of 12”.
The plans must also somehow indicate how the requirements of the CoFC
ordinance are being met, i.e. show how 75% of the impervious area of the site
is draining into an LID feature. Please let me know if you have questions on how
to do this.
The Drainage Report now details the requirements and size for a Rain Garden. The Utility Plan and Grading
Plan now show the location of the Rain Garden. The Drainage Plan exhibit, in the Drainage Report, has the
Basin Area information, Impervious Area information, and Rain Garden Flat Area and Volume information.

equation to calculate flow velocities, we no longer accept the NRCS method.
Time of concentration is lowest value calculated on FC spreadsheet. The historic Tc is high due to low slope
and vegetation cover.

05/31/2017: There are two different hatch patterns shown on the landscape
plans that seem to indicate rain garden areas. The Utility Plans indicate the
installation of a bio-swale, but this is slightly different than a rain garden. Please
coordinate these plans with the Utility Plans.
LA Response: Due to site changes, the rain garden area has been redesigned, and the different seed
areas are more clearly indicated.
Comment Number: 12 Comment Originated: 05/31/2017
05/31/2017: Please note that we do not allow for landscape fabric to be
installed in rain garden areas because the fabric can create a drainage barrier
over time. Please ensure that these plans clearly show that no landscape
barriers are to be used in LID systems areas.

05/31/2017: Please provide a water meter sizing justification letter from the
MEP working on this project. Since the plans show the irrigation system uses
coming off of this same meter, the meter sizing calculations must include
assumed irrigation uses. The architect and landscape consultant have calculated flows for meter sizing. The
landscape irrigation plans are being revised for use with a ¾” meter and will be submitted when required.
