Topic: Construction Drawings
Comment Number: 1 Comment Originated: 09/05/2017
09/05/2017: There appears to be walls along the right-of-way and sidewalk
along Lake Street, this should be placed a minimum of 2 feet behind the
sidewalk and outside of the right-of-way, whichever is greater.
Response: Walls and railings are now located 2’ behind the city sidewalk and are out of the City ROW.
Comment Number: 2 Comment Originated: 09/05/2017
09/05/2017: There is an indication of "By Others" in several places along the
north and east side of the project. Additional information on who the various "By
2
Others" are should be indicated/explained. I'll need to be brought up to speed
on the coordination of construction for the frontage along Lake Street.
Response: Labels on the Site Plan have been revised.
Comment Number: 3 Comment Originated: 09/05/2017
09/05/2017: The reduction of sidewalk width to 7 feet shown around the trees
does need to widen out to 10' past the trees and not remain 7' between the
trees. Have cross sections of these areas been provided for review by Forestry
for their concurrence on the proximity of the sidewalk to the trees?
Response: Cross Section Exhibit has been provided to Forestry. The walk has 10’ section between the two
7 foot sections.
Comment Number: 4 Comment Originated: 09/05/2017
09/05/2017: The extension of the metal plates out to the curb and gutter for the
culverts crossing the sidewalk along Prospect should be indicated on the civil
plans.
Response: This is now indicated on several sheets. Metal Plates have also been called out on the existing
concrete chase from Plymouth Church to the west.
Comment Number: 5 Comment Originated: 09/05/2017
09/05/2017: The civil plans do not appear to show the delineators that are
depicted on the site plan and should be shown/designed.
Response: Maxi-force collapsible bollards are now proposed at two locations along the Emergency Access
Drive along the east side of Building A as coordinated in PFA and Engineering meeting with city staff on 9/12/2017.
Comment Number: 6 Comment Originated: 09/05/2017
09/05/2017: Please show the existing water main along Prospect continuing
east of The Slab's driveway.
Response: Existing water main along Prospect is now shown and in the correct location
Comment Number: 7 Comment Originated: 09/05/2017
09/05/2017: The Prospect/Whitcomb offsite design will need to review and
approved concurrently with this development plan. I did not see these submitted
with the final plan submittal.
Response: A preliminary submittal of the Prospect/Whitcomb was sent to Marc Ragasa in June for initial
review and coordination with CSU. The plans were provided to Engineering and Traffic after the staff review meeting on 9/6 and a
schedule for the Prospect/Whitcomb Offsite project has been created and included with this submittal. The variance approval
required that the turn lane be constructed prior to issuance of the CO for The Standard (anticipated August 2020) and did not
specify a schedule for plan approval. As shown on the attached timeline, the required review and coordination with CSU will impact
the building permit review schedule if the offsite design is required to be approved concurrently with this development
Comment Number: 8 Comment Originated: 09/05/2017
09/05/2017: CSU's plan for a pathway on the north side of Lake Street should
perhaps have this project look at a receiving ramp on the south side of Lake
Street. Further discussion on this should ensue.
Response: Discussion with the City and CSU Planning staff has been initiated. CSU will formerly be
providing their recommendation to the City of Fort Collins of where the crossing should be located, however, as they are currently
proposed, neither of them will require The Standard to provide a curb-cut or a receiving ramp.
Comment Number: 9 Comment Originated: 09/05/2017
09/05/2017: The length of the patch for the water line abandonment appears to
measure a distance that is wider than the existing Prospect road width. Please
show the south curb and gutter for Prospect to better understand the length of
the proposed patch in relation to the existing street.
Response: South curb and gutter has been included. The patch for the water lines have also been
3
adjusted to reflect the updated location of the existing 6’’ water line on the southside of Prospect Road.

Comment Number: 11 Comment Originated: 09/05/2017
09/05/2017: There appears to be offsite construction and/or drainage
easement that is needed from
Stadium Apartments and/or the Slab for drainage pans and other
appurtenances. We'll want to understand more fully what is intended and
needed (or what may already exist regarding easements).
Response: Offsite easements have been included on the horizontal, utility, and grading sheets.
Topic: Plat
Comment Number: 10 Comment Originated: 09/05/2017

Deborah Maple is still listed in the Plant Schedule and Plant Diversity table –
please remove. Iseli Fastigiate Spruce is not listed in the Plant Schedule.
Please update these tables to reflect the species that will be shown on the
plans.
11/10/2016:
Tree Species Selection:
Deborah Norway Maple is not listed on the Street Tree list. Please select a
suitable species from list. You may want to consider using Bur Oak as an
adaptable street tree.
Please consider using Iseli Fastigiate Spruce in place of Fat Albert Spruce due
to the narrow planting space close to building.
For the project’s consideration, Crimson Sentry Norway Maple has similar
foliage color to Deborah Norway Maple, but has a narrower mature crown. This
may be a better fit for some of the desired planting spaces.
Response: Tree species updated accordingly.

Some of the trees behind the right of way along Prospect are >20 feet from the
proposed street trees along Prospect. Behind the sidewalk, please use a
narrower crown tree such as Catalpa, Glenleven Linden, Red Barron crabapple,
5
Thunderchild Crabapple. This will provide less competition with the ROW trees.
Response: Ornamentals now proposed behind ROW. See updated landscape plan.

09/05/2017:
At its December 14, 2016 Regular Meeting, the Landmark Preservation
Commission conducted a review of the development project known as The
Standard (PDP160035) as authorized under LUC Section 3.4.7(F)(6). The
Landmark Preservation Commission adopted the following motion on a vote of
5-1:
That the Landmark Preservation Commission recommend to the Decision
Maker approval of The Standard Project Development Plan (PDP160035),
finding it is in compliance with the standards contained in Land Use Code
Section 3.4.7 in regards to compatibility with the character of the project’s area
of adjacency for the reasons stated in the staff report.
The Staff Report noted ways in which The Standard has met the requirements of
LUC Section 3.4.7, including:
1. Mitigating the discrepancy of height, setback and width between this project
and the historic church and residential buildings on West Prospect Road,
through courtyards and through building stepbacks and setbacks;
2. Incorporating elements to address character, by being planned as two
distinct buildings, which helps to respect the existing historic block pattern of the
neighborhood; and by using design characteristics that relate to the mid-century
and Craftsman;
3. The use of building materials, especially brick to compliment the materials
used in the adjacent Plymouth Congregational Church and horizontal siding to
compliment the Craftsman and Sheely Drive Neighborhood dwellings; and
4. Preserving view corridors through the property.
Response: No further response required from applicant team. Thank you.

09/05/2017: Multifamily buildings are treated as commercial services; therefore
commercial service forms (C-1 forms) and one line diagrams must be
submitted to Light & Power for each building. All secondary electric service
work is the responsibility of the developer to install and maintain from the
transformer to the meter bank.

09/06/2017: FDC LOCATIONS
As both buildings will be equipped with a standpipe system, a hydrant is
required within 100' of either FDC. FDC locations to be approved by the fire
authority.
Response: A private fire hydrant is located near the south west corner of Building B
Comment Number: 2 Comment Originated: 09/06/2017
09/06/2017: FIRE SERVICE MAINS
As the proposed water line to the fire pump is being fed from both Lake St and
Prospect Rd, the fire marshal has approved the reduction from two proposed
fire service lines down to one with the condition that shut off valves are installed
on each side of the fire line to the building.

Response: One line with 2 gate valves is now shown on the Detailed Utility Sheet
Comment Number: 3 Comment Originated: 09/06/2017
09/06/2017: BOLLARDS & RESTRICTED ACCESS FROM PROSPECT
Removable bollards are still being shown on the revised Site Plan while other
plan views indicate unrestricted vehicle movement. The installation of bollards is
not typically allowed on fire lanes. The applicant will need to confirm what the
city is or isn't willing to allow at these locations. If vehicle access is to be
restricted only to emergency apparatus, further discussions with PFA will be
necessary. Installation of bollards requires special review and approval prior to
plan approval and the predicted frequency to which emergency apparatus will
be responding to these buildings is likely to indicate the need for an Opticom
controlled gate at some location. There may be a possibility to incorporate both
within this site so as to allow maximum pedestrian and bike traffic while also
allowing for immediate emergency access/egress.
Response: Maxi-force collapsible bollards are being proposed at two different locations along the east
side of Building A and an Opticom gate is now proposed along Prospect Road on the west side of building
A. This was coordinated with City Staff and PFA during a coordination meeting on 9/12/2017.

signs to be added at 75' intervals at the following locations See Redlines. Refer
to LUCASS detail #1418 & #1419 for sign type, placement, and spacing.
> Please include a fire lane sign detail on the plans. Sign detail to include
directional arrows.
> Certain off-site signage requirements at Stadium Apts may become the
responsibility of this project (eg. north end of western connection to Prospect).
Response: Detail 1418 was a part of the previous submittal. Detail 1419 is not a part of this sheet set but
the spacing required by the detail has been met. Please refer to the horizontal plan for sign locations.

09/06/2017: The number of exterior bike parking spaces is specified to be 294.
There are 26 bike racks which equates to 11.3 spaces per rack. But the Site
Plan indicates only seven spaces per rack in which case 42 racks would be
needed. Please provide a detail or a manufacturer’s specification sheet that
demonstrates that the selected rack is capable of parking the requisite number
of bikes. If not, then additional racks may be needed. For example, why not
add a bike rack at the leasing office entrance along Lake Street? Other exterior
locations need to be selected in order to meet the standard. (The Landscape
Plan shows four bike racks in the loading area of Building A but these racks are
not shown on the Site Plan.
Response: The LUC requirements for exterior bike racks are now met. 308 exterior bike parking spaces
are proposed. The bike rack product proposed is the Dero Rolling Rack (a cut-sheet is included in this submittal). See Site Plan for
bike parking locations.
Comment Number: 2 Comment Originated: 09/06/2017
09/06/2017: For the interior racks in the garage, the same issue applies.
Please provide a specification for the selected rack and the number bikes that
can be parked per rack. Then, please indicate the quantity of these racks to
ensure that 489 bikes can be parked. Also, please show that these racks will
be on the ground floor level.
Response: The required number of enclosed bike parking spaces (473) will be provided. Please see
enlarged plan sheets for locations and specifications. Interior spaces located within the garage are on ground level. Interior spaces
within the residential buildings are distributed through the levels as approved on the PDP plans.

09/06/2017: Why is a wall needed along the south property line of Building B?
Both Building B and The Slab are providing landscaping and it seems like a
wall is unnecessary unless it’s critical for stormwater purposes. If a wall is truly
needed, please provide a detail describing the height and materials on Sheet 3
of the Landscape Plan.
Response: Retaining walls are required south of Building B and east of Building A. The walls are required
in order to provide cover for the storm drain pipes. The proposed walls are generally less than 30 inches in height. Both of these
walls are proposed adjacent to the property line and will be fully screened by the fence proposed by the Apex (formerly The Slab)
project. Details for site walls can be found on the referenced details on the site plan.

09/06/2017: On the west elevation of Building A is highly visible. Between the
second and third floors, there is a band of Nassau Brick under three sets of
windows. This band of brick needs to be continued across the elevation under
six sets of windows to the point where the vertical brick column separates the
Nassau Brick from the Fiber Cement Panel with Board and Batten Trim 4 [15].
Extending this brick band was agreed to by the design team prior to the
February 16, 2017 Planning and Zoning Board Hearing.
Response: The additional brick has been added to the elevation drawing.
Comment Number: 7 Comment Originated: 09/06/2017
09/06/2017: Regarding the condition of approval, on the west elevation of
Building A, I’m seeing column projections between six sets of windows on the
fourth floor. Other than that, I’m not seeing any features that address the issue. I
will need to further discuss this with the architect.
Response: Prior to approval of the PDP we discussed window treatment. City staff requested that
windows be articulated with lintels and sills and not be flat uninteresting windows. We provided an
enlarged detail of the west elevation so that staff could see that the windows are differentiated. The larger
graphic provided prior to P&Z and attached to this document clearly shows the proposed window
articulation. Brick detailing that creates lintels over the windows and sills below are provided in the
portions that are brick. Similarly stone lintels and sills are provided where stone is used. In all cases
windows are framed in high quality materials suitable to the architectural materials surrounding the window.
The window treatments proposed are consistent with the ones approved with the PDP.

Response: The east elevation of the parking deck, initially proposed a precast concrete finish for all seven columns shown.
Understanding that this elevation could be visible from both Prospect Road or W. Lake Street, we decided, in coordination with the
City staff during the PDP approval process, to make the four center columns stacked stone. It was decided the three remaining
columns would be painted precast concrete. These columns would act as a frame of two elements on the east elevation of the
parking deck. This language is carried over to the right side of the south elevation as well.

09/05/2017:09/05/2017: Please provide a temporary surface for construction
entrances from Prospect and Lake, with the permeable pavement surfaces at
both locations being installed late in the construction schedule. Please provide
perimeter protection for the site where missing. No discussion in the report for
the hazardous materials potential and handling, please review the Erosion
control guidance document online at
http://www.fcgov.com/utilities/img/site_specific/uploads/Accomp_Doc.pdf and
make sure all sections are addressed. Please address all relines on plans. If
you have any questions please contact Basil Hamdan bhamdan@fcgov.com,
(970) 224-6035.
Response: There are two separate vehicle tracking pads at both entrances. There is a very basic detail of
the permeable pavement surface protection; put down geotextile and plywood on sheet C5.01 now. Northern has never seen a
detail for permeable paver protection but it’s on the contractor to make sure he stages his construction to account for these pavers.

Perimeter protection has been included since the last submittal, a chain link fence with rock socks at the base. I had a silt fence in at
a prior stage but someone told me to remove it and replace it with this system. Please see detail 002 on sheet C5.01. I tried to call
Basil this week to discuss these comments because Northern is not sure what a temporary surface for construction entrances is nor
have we seen a permeable pavement protection detail. The report narrative has been updated.

design. Please revise the drainage calculations to reflect this new design.

09/05/2017: The water main is not meeting the City's separations distances.
These requirements are being held firm now due to issues with maintenance of
the City's public mains in tight areas.
Please coordinate a meeting with the City to determine the best layout of the
water main and to coordinate relocation of any utilities to provide the required
separation distances.
Response: The 8” water main is now called out as private. Therefore it will be maintained by the property
owners.

09/08/2017: Further discussion with Poudre Fire Authority is needed to
determine if there is an alternative to the proposed fire hydrant. The City would
like to investigate every option to avoid a public water main down the center of
this development. A meeting with all parties is suggested to determine a
solution.
Response: The water main is private now therefore the hydrant is now a private hydrant and will be
maintained by the property manager/owner.
