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. Comment Summary: Department: Engineering Development Review Contact: Marc Virata, 970-221-6567, mvirata@fcgov.com Topic: General Comment Number: 7 Comment Originated: 10/31/2017 10/31/2017: Previous comments addressed. OK to proceed to public hearing. Comment Number: 8 Comment Originated: 11/03/2017 11/03/2017: Following up from staff review, please ensure the drawings reflect the extent of the existing access, drainage, and utility easement that was established with the original plat for the project. As there appears to have been a blanket utility easement that accommodates the equivalent 15' utility easement from the back of walk, we may not need additional utility easement dedication, pending this information. In addition, I would be OK with not dedicating an additional 1 foot of right-of-way under the premise that the proposed sidewalk would still be partially covered with an existing access easement. RESPONSE: Noted. Comment Number: 9 Comment Originated: 11/03/2017 11/03/2017: At time of final, please have the civil drawings provide construction detail for the hardscape median (concrete pattern and color, etc.) RESPONSE: See note 5 Horizontal Control Plan.

If this is the case please also remove native seed mix and notes (LP sheet 3 in this submittal). RESPONSE: All references to non-irrigated seeding have been removed. Department: Forestry Contact: Molly Roche, mroche@fcgov.com Topic: Landscape Plans Comment Number: 1 Comment Originated: 09/14/2017 10/30/2017: Are there existing trees on-site? RESPONSE: There are no existing trees on-site. 09/14/2017: If there are any existing trees on-site, please contact City Forestry (Molly Roche - mroche@fcgov.com) to schedule an on-site meeting to obtain tree inventory and mitigation information. Comment Number: 7 Comment Originated: 09/14/2017 10/30/2017: Thank you for using a shade tree in place of the Chanticleer Pears in the parking lot. Please use one of the previously suggested species in the parking lot – Catalpa or Kentucky Coffeetree. RESPONSE: A Kentucky Coffeetree has been used in place of the Honeylocust. 09/14/2017: According to Land Use Code (LUC) 3.2.1 Section E.5, canopy shade trees must be used in parking lot islands. In place of the Chanticleer Pears, please use a suitable canopy shade tree in the parking lot, such as Catalpa or Kentucky Coffeetree. Comment Number: 9 Comment Originated: 10/30/2017 10/30/2017: According to Land Use Code 3.2.1 D (3) Minimum Species Diversity, 33% maximum percentage of any one species if there are between 20 and 39 trees on-site. There are 25 trees proposed on this plan and it appears as though Sky Rocket Juniper exceeds the 33% maximum percentage at 44%. City Forestry suggests incorporating one or two additional evergreen species on the plan. RESPONSE: Fastigiate Norway Spruce have taken the place of some of the Sky Rocket Junipers to balance out the species diversity. Comment Number: 10 Comment Originated: 10/30/2017 10/30/2017: Typically Lindens do not survive or thrive well along roads treated with deicing salts. Please evaluate changing the two Lindens along Boardwalk Drive for another species from the City of Fort Collins Street Tree List, such as Bur Oak, Kentucky Coffeetree, or Catalpa. RESPONSE: Kentucky Coffeetrees have replaced the Lindens along Boardwalk Drive.

The community recycling ordinance which was passed last year requires all businesses and multi-family complexes have recycling service that is equal to at least 1/3 of their service volume (bin capacity x service frequency) by 2020. Consider building a larger enclosure that will allow for adequate space to meet the requirements of this ordinance.
