Comment Number: 7 Comment Originated: 07/31/2017 08/03/2017: LANDSCAPE PLAN: Please adjust the extent of sheet LP402 to include the full natural habitat buffer zone. Comment Number: 8 Comment Originated: 08/03/2017 Page 3 of 14 08/03/2017: LANDSCAPE PLAN: Within the natural habitat buffer zone, according to Article 3.4.1(E)(1)(g), the City has the ability to determine if the existing landscaping within the buffer zone is incompatible with the purposes of the buffer zone. From a quantity perspective, the amount and placement of the proposed trees and shrubs meets this standard. However, many of the species selected are not appropriate for a restoration area/buffer zone. Please show only native plantings in the buffer zone, with particular emphasis on species native to the Poudre River corridor. The planting plan for this area should provide for species diversity, variety in height/structure, and year-round interest. Here is the City's native plant list: http://www.fcgov.com/naturalareas/pdf/nativeplants2013.pdf Comment Number: 9 Comment Originated: 08/03/2017 08/03/2017: LANDSCAPE PLAN: Please label all plants on the landscape plan with an abbreviation that corresponds to the legend. Please also update the legend with the number of plants for each species. This will make it much easier to match the plant schedule to the planting plan. It appears there are some plants that are not listed in the legend. Comment Number: 10 Comment Originated: 08/03/2017 08/03/2017: LANDSCAPE PLAN: Please move all trees and shrubs that are near trails at least 3-5 feet away from the trail.

Comment Number: 12 Comment Originated: 08/03/2017 07/31/2017: LIGHTING PLAN: The Natural Habitat Buffer Zone should be more prominently delineated and labeled on the lighting plan. Comment Number: 13 Comment Originated: 08/03/2017 07/31/2017: LIGHTING PLAN: There is too much spillover lighting within the Natural Habitat Buffer Zone. Please adjust the placement, pole height, or shielding of the fixtures on the southern edge of the parking lot to eliminate as much of the light spill as possible. Adding back shields could help with this. Comment Number: 14 Comment Originated: 08/03/2017 07/31/2017: PLAT: The "bike access easement" should be renamed to "access easement." This should also be corrected on the utility plans.

Building plan reviews shall be subject to this adopted version of the fire code for plan review submittal and permit application. Comment Number: 1 Comment Originated: 08/02/2017 08/02/2017: WATER SUPPLY A hydrant is required within 300' of any Commercial Building as measured along an approved path of vehicle travel. An exception to this rule pertains to buildings equipped with a standpipe system which require a hydrant within 100' of any Fire Department Connection (FDC), see comment #3 for standpipe detail. The development is also responsible for the 600' on center requirement along Lincoln. As long as one of the three proposed hydrants meet the 100' rule to the FDC, and a hydrant is installed along Lincoln, the code can be met. This can be achieved with a single hydrant. 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 Comment Number: 2 Comment Originated: 08/02/2017 08/02/2017: FIRE STANDPIPE SYSTEM This building will require a standpipe system. The standpipe shall exist in the roof access stair, see comment #4 for roof access stair detail. > IFC Sections 905 and 913: Standpipe systems shall be provided in new buildings and structures in accordance with Section 905 or the 2012 International Fire Code. Approved standpipe systems shall be installed throughout buildings where the floor level of the highest story is located more than 30 feet above the lowest level of fire department vehicle access. The standpipe system shall be capable of supplying a minimum of 100 psi to the top habitable floor. An approved fire pump may be required to achieve this minimum pressure. Buildings equipped with standpipes are required to have a hydrant within 100 feet of the Fire Department Connection. Comment Number: 3 Comment Originated: 08/02/2017 Page 7 of 14 08/02/2017: ROOF ACCESS Current plans do not indicate roof access has been met. A stairway from the ground floor to the roof shall be provided, see below for details. Roof access shall be provided as the building has four stories (occupied). Alternating tread device may be used for the two four story portions along the north side of the building above the restaurant as they are unoccupied (see IFC 1011.12 for details). Code language follows: > IFC 504.3: New buildings four or more stories above grade plane, except those with a roof slope greater than four units vertical in 12 units horizontal (33.3 percent slope), shall be provided with a stairway to the roof. Stairway access to the roof shall be in accordance with IFC 1011.12. Such stairways shall be marked at street and floor levels with a sign indicating that the stairway continues to the roof. Where roofs are used for roof gardens or for other purposes, stairways shall be provided as required for such occupancy classification. Comment Number: 4 Comment Originated: 08/02/2017 08/02/2017: AERIAL FIRE APPARATUS ACCESS ROADS The proposed 26' EAE (aerial apparatus fire lane) does not appear to meet aerial apparatus access requirements. >Along the west side of the building, the majority of the building is outside of aerial apparatus access on the third and fourth floor remains outside of aerial apparatus access (assuming the third floor is the same as the second floor, third floor plan not provided). >Along the south side of the building, the majority the building is out of aerial apparatus access on both the third and fourth floor. >The North side, specifically the two 4 story towers are completely out of fire department access. >The East side of the building is completely out of aerial apparatus access. Improved aerial apparatus access to the proposed building will need to occur prior to final approval. WHERE REQUIRED > IFC D105.1: Where the vertical distance between the grade plane and the highest roof surface exceeds 30 feet, approved aerial fire apparatus access roads shall be provided. For purposes of this section, the highest roof surface shall be determined by measurement to the eave of a pitched roof, the intersection of the roof to the exterior wall, or the top of parapet walls, whichever is greater. PROXIMITY TO BUILDING > IFC D105.3: At least one of the required access routes meeting this condition shall be located within a minimum of 15 feet and a maximum of 30 feet from the building, and shall be positioned parallel to one entire side of the building.

Comment Number: 8 Comment Originated: 08/03/2017 08/03/2017: LANDSCAPE PLAN The proposed Landscape Plan indicates that tree canopy diameters may encroach on the fire lane over time. 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. Comment Number: 9 Comment Originated: 08/03/2017 Page 9 of 14 Department: Planning Services Contact: Clay Frickey, 970-224-6045, cfrickey@fcgov.com Topic: Building Elevations 08/08/2017: Staff is concerned about the reliance on stucco on all four elevations. Code section 4.20(D)(3)(c)(2) requires masonry or treated wood siding to be incorporated into the building design the maximum extent feasible. Stucco is the predominant building material, which does not meet this code section. Please incorporate more masonry and/or wood into the proposed building. Comment Number: 5 Comment Originated: 08/08/2017 08/08/2017: The building does not have a clearly defined base, middle, and top as required by section 3.5.3(E)(6). To better establish a base, staff take the stone up to the bottom of the windows on the second floor. On the north elevation, staff recommends using masonry for at least the pilasters that are currently shown as stucco. Comment Number: 6 Comment Originated: 08/08/2017 08/08/2017: More broadly speaking, the building contains a wide variety of materials and colors that makes the building appear busy. Please work with staff to restrain the building while still providing relief on the west and east elevations in particular. Comment Number: 7 Comment Originated: 08/08/2017 08/08/2017: Will the windows be inset at all on the stucco portions of the building? Flush mounted windows on stucco look very flat and don't provide the sort of relief to the building called for in 3.5.1(C). Section 4.20(D)(3)(b)(2) also requires detailed window treatments to break up the mass of buildings. Please provide sills and headers, inset the windows, and/or wider trim to make the building facade appear less flat. Comment Number: 8 Comment Originated: 08/08/2017 08/08/2017: Please provide a detail of the cornices proposed with dimensions. Comment Number: 9 Comment Originated: 08/08/2017 08/08/2017: Two of the bays on the east elevation have large, undifferentiated masses at the north and south end of the building. Please add some details or accents to these bays to break up these masses and provide more articulation per 3.5.3(E). Comment Number: 10 Comment Originated: 08/08/2017 08/08/2017: As part of your next submittal, please include perspective renderings from all corners of the building so staff can get a better sense of the projections and recesses proposed. Comment Number: 11 Comment Originated: 08/08/2017 08/08/2017: For the awnings and canopies, consider a steeper pitch to tie the building better into the architecture of the Buckingham neighborhood, In Situ, and O'Dell Brewing. You could also use timber supports for these awnings to further tie the building into the themes established by other buildings nearby. Comment Number: 12 Comment Originated: 08/08/2017 08/08/2017: Will the building not cast a shadow on the In Situ site in the morning of the winter solstice? Please provide one more image showing the shadow the building will cast in the morning of the winter solstice and describe how you are minimizing the building's impact on the In Situ site. Comment Number: 13 Comment Originated: 08/08/2017 08/08/2017: The floor plan for level 3 is missing. Is the floor plan for level 3 the same as level 2? If so, please revise the title on sheet A.101 to indicate as such. Comment Number: 14 Comment Originated: 08/08/2017 Page 10 of 14 Topic: Landscape Plans 08/03/2017: Please clearly label the existing street trees on the landscape plan. Comment Number: 1 Comment Originated: 08/03/2017 08/03/2017: What percentage of the parking lot interior is dedicated to landscaping? Please provide a table indicating the percentage of the parking area that is dedicated to landscaping. Comment Number: 2 Comment Originated: 08/03/2017 08/03/2017: The symbols for the Thornless Honeylocust and Bur Oak are very similar and is making it difficult to count the number of trees on the landscape plan. Similarly, the symbolys for Japanese Tree Lilac, Spring Snow Crabapple, and Thornless Cockspur Hawthorn are very similar. Please change some of these symbols to make the landscape plan easier to read so staff can check for consistency between the plans and the plant list. Comment Number: 3 Comment Originated: 08/03/2017 Topic: Site Plan 08/03/2017: The bicycle parking table indicates there are 33 bike parking spaces provided. The site plan, however, shows 34 bike parking spaces. Please update the table to match the site plan. Comment Number: 4 Comment Originated: 08/03/2017 08/11/2017: Consider a bike share station on your site. Bike share would be a great amenity for hotel guests and could offset some of your bike parking requirements. Staff can help coordinate a meeting to discuss the bike share opportunity further.
