Comment Summary: Comment Responses: Ripley Design, Kimley-Horn, Ware Malcomb, ESC, Core Spaces Department: Engineering Development Review Contact: Marc Virata, 970-221-6567, mvirata@fcgov.com Topic: General Comment Number: 1 Comment Originated: 04/23/2018 04/23/2018: The patching shown on the demo plan needs to be expanded to encompass the full center turn lane, the area not currently shown to be patched south of the center turn lane, and the full width of the road from between the two small patches of abandonment on the north side of the street as part of our patching requirements as reviewed by our Construction Inspection Manager. Response: The pavement patching limits within Elizabeth Street have been expanded as discussed above. There will be a full pavement replacement where necessary for all utility trenching and a mill and overlay for the rest of the patching to create clean cuts/areas. Comment Number: 2 Comment Originated: 04/23/2018 04/23/2018: The truncated domes shown on the drive approach out to Elizabeth should be shown more vertical than curved, to provide indication of the pedestrian moving east-west. Response: Truncated domes shown to be more vertical as opposed to being on a curve. Comment Number: 3 Comment Originated: 04/23/2018 04/23/2018: The variance request submitted is generally OK in concept, 2 however I would question the rationale of the second sentence in the first justification as being part of the justification as I don't believe it has relevance to a design criteria variance. I would prefer that the second sentence be removed and then can support the granting of the variance request. Response: The second sentence in the first justification has been removed. Comment Number: 4 Comment Originated: 04/23/2018 04/23/2018: Please provide more detail on the plans regarding the status of easements depicted.

Department: Forestry Contact: Molly Roche, mroche@fcgov.com Topic: Landscape Plans Comment Number: 5 Comment Originated: 04/24/2018 4/24/2018: Continued: TO BE DISCUSSED AT STAFF REVIEW MEETING 4/25/18 Response: Discussion at meeting concluded western linden tree worked as proposed, and eastern linden tree needed 2’ more space from proposed column. Column has been shifted west to provide extra space. 11/17/2017: Continued: Please show the cross-section detail that includes the tree location. City Forestry would like to review the extent to which the roots might be damaged. 6/12/2017: Continued: Thank you for stating that you can provide a cross-section of Tree #1. Please submit this to Forestry for review. In regards to Tree #3, please provide additional detailed information as to why this tree cannot be retained. Submit to Forestry and Project Planner for review. 3/8/2017: Please provide a cross-section of the two existing Linden trees in regards to the proposed wall. Forestry would like to further review the distance between the trees and the structure. Additionally, please provide additional information regarding the preservation and protection of the two linden trees, and to what measures construction will impact roots. What is the foundation material for the walls? Please explore using pylon spanning to limit excavation near tree roots. Comment Number: 6 Comment Originated: 04/24/2018 4 4/24/2018: Continued: TO BE DISCUSSED AT STAFF REVIEW MEETING 4/25/18 Response: See above. 11/17/2017: Continued: Tree section detail will be provided at FDP. Comment continued until FDP. 6/12/2017: Continued: Thank you for stating that you can provide a cross-section of Tree #1. Please submit this to Forestry for review. In regards to Tree #3, please provide additional detailed information as to why this tree cannot be retained. Submit to Forestry and Project Planner for review. 3/8/2017: Currently, the plans show the wall proposed at approximately 3 feet away from the east tree, and 4 feet away from the west tree. With the goal of doing everything in our power to preserve the trees in mind, I recall that Sam Coutts, Jason Holland, Ralph Zentz, and Molly Roche discussed providing additional separation by shifting the walls further away from the trees, or even eliminating the walls completely. As discussed at our most recent site-visit, please provide Forestry with a detailed cross-section sketch of each tree-to-wall separation. We would also like to understand the degree of excavation involved on each side of the trees. (Email sent to Sam Coutts 3/8/17) Forestry received an email from the applicant on March 8, 2017 explaining where some adjustments had been made to help protect these trees. After reviewing this communication and diagrams, there are still additional questions Forestry would like explored and answered by the applicant. Can the east wall by the west tree be adjusted further to the east to provide additional separation? Also, please explore removing the south wall by the west tree (similar to the removal of the wall by the east tree). Comment Number: 8 Comment Originated: 04/24/2018 8 4/23/2018: There are (12) existing trees shown on sheet 4 that are either not inventoried, shown in the tree mitigation table, or shown on proposed plans on sheet 5. Trees that are off-site should be shown on sheet 5 with a note near each of these trees that states: existing off-site trees to remain. If these trees are to be removed, their inventory and mitigation information should be collected and included on the plans. Trees that are on-site, but have no symbol indicating their removal/retention should be inventoried and included on the mitigation table. Response: Notes added to tree mitigation plan. Trees that do not have a symbol were field identified. Since they were not surveyed, placing the symbol on our plans would place additional liability on us. Comment Number: 9 Comment Originated: 04/24/2018 4/23/2018: Trees #4, 9, 20, and 22 do not have a symbol – please add this to sheet 4. In addition, two different symbols are used to show existing trees, please be 5 consistent in labeling trees. Response: See above. Comment Number: 10 Comment Originated: 04/24/2018 4/23/2018: I only counted 38 mitigation trees required. Please correct the tree mitigation summary table. You may omit one upsized mitigation tree from the plant list as well. In addition, please label all mitigation trees on sheet 5 with a ‘M’ by the symbol. Response: 38 Mitigation trees now being shown. All trees to be upsized, notes added to full plant schedule. Comment Number: 11 Comment Originated: 04/24/2018 4/23/2018: Please confirm irrigation will be provided to the three new street trees in grates.

Comment Number: 3 Comment Originated: 04/24/2018 04/24/2018: The parking garage appears to be notched out around the proposed transformer location up to the roof. However, the basement does not appear to be notched out below the transformer location. How will the basement be built to allow for primary electric lines to extend into the new transformer? Primary electric lines are typically 40-48" deep. Response: No basement below the transformer. See current plans. Comment Number: 4 Comment Originated: 04/24/2018 04/24/2018: There is a conflict with note S7 on the utility plan and Light and Power existing electrical switch cabinet. Note S7 calls for a manhole to be constructed adjacent to the electrical switch cabinet with no separation/buffer from the cabinet. This seems impossible to build without undermining the existing cabinet. Can the new manhole be relocated west, away from the cabinet? Response: That manhole is existing, we are only tapping into it. Comment Number: 5 Comment Originated: 04/24/2018 04/24/2018: Previous C-1 submittal documents anticipated a 2000 amp (277/480V) 3-phase electrical service (20 cables of 600 MCM). Have power requirements changed? Please keep in mind that we are limited to a total of 48 secondary cables for 3phase transformers. If more than 48 secondary cables are needed for the development then an additional transformer will need to be placed on site. Response: Updated c-1 forms attached with this submittal. Comment Number: 6 Comment Originated: 04/24/2018 04/24/2018: Light & Power will need AutoCAD files of the site plan, utility plans, and landscape drawings once approved Response: Noted.

Comment Number: 5 Comment Originated: 04/24/2018 04/24/2018: FIRE TURNAROUND ON GROUND LEVEL PARKING: BLDG. A > The Fairview Apts. will be dedicating a fire lane across the southern limits of their property to be continuous with the EAE at The Hub; however, as they are not able to connect to the Public Way, the proposed turnaround at The Hub 9 remains a requirement for this development. > The turnaround requires a simple hammerhead maneuver and not the complex fire lane currently proposed. The EAE should be simplified within the parking garage. > Fire lane signage required at the entry to the parking garage to alert Engine Operators that this space has been designated for that purpose. Signage details to be approved prior to building permit. > Turning templates indicate potential problems. Please revise and resubmit based upon the following observations: * Turning templates indicate that swing of fire apparatus involves areas outside the dedicated EAE. Front end swings across a hatched area at entrance to garage. This area should be identified as part of the EAE. * Turning templates will need to confirm a single, fluid movement of a vehicle turning into and then out of the garage to complete a full maneuver. Currently the Autoturn exhibits show the vehicle's location being moved several feet to the left or right at the terminus of the hammerhead so as to ideally reposition it for the next maneuver. Please confirm that a continuous maneuver is possible and resubmit to PFA. Response: Updated Autoturn exhibit included with this submittal. Fire lane signage included along drive and red striping proposed in parking structure to indicate emergency maneuver area. Comment Number: 6 Comment Originated: 04/24/2018 04/24/2018: FDC LOCATIONS > FDC location on Bldg. B is approved. > FDC location on Bldg. A will need to move north, to the NE corner of the building.

A plan for address posting and wayfinding shall be submitted to PFA for review and approval PRIOR to FDP approval. Response: Address and wayfinding sign provided at entrance off Elizabeth St. Comment Number: 10 Comment Originated: 04/24/2018 04/24/2018: ALTERNATIVE MEANS OF COMPLIANCE The document titled, High Rise Compliance Matrix dated, Nov. 3, 2017 detailing alternative means and measures for Building 1 was evaluated with respect to Bldg. 1. As previously described, neither Bldg. 1 or 2 are code compliant with regard to aerial apparatus access and the applicant will need to detail the intent to meet code compliance via alternative means at building 2 as well. Floor plans of both Bldgs. would be helpful in this code evaluation process. A detailed plan of the rooftop amenity spaces on Bldg. 1 would also be very helpful. Building 1: > Project intends to include Smoke-proof enclosures as per IBC 403.5.4. Per the fire marshal, he would like to know if mechanical pressurization vs. a natural ventilation alternative method will be employed. > IBC 403.5.3.5 - Stairway communication shall comply with 1009.6 for Areas of Refuge. > IBC 403.5.5 - Luminous stair treads as per Section 1025.2.1 will be required. > Please also indicate intent to comply with the following IFC Sections: 508.1.1 - Command center location approval 508.1.4 - Layout approval 508.1.5 - Storage 907.2.11.7 - Smoke detection > 1009.6 - Provide Areas of Refuge with 2-way communication in stairwells. > Please update Compliance Matrix and resubmit to PFA.

I have seen them die to the ground on several occasions, but they seem to do okay in protected areas. Would suggest not using them on the west side of the building and replacing these with a fastigiate English Oak or Crimson Spire Oak. Response: Noted, hornbeams now only occur on eastern side of building A. Comment Number: 2 Comment Originated: 04/20/2018 04/20/2018: With the architectural plan sheets, please in include a general specification noting all proposed material colors.

Department: Stormwater Engineering Contact: Basil Hamdan, 970-224-6035, bhamdan@fcgov.com Topic: Erosion Control Comment Number: 8 Comment Originated: 04/24/2018 04/24/2018: Please provide a sequencing and construction schedule for the pavers. If the subgrade is constructed for access, it needs to be protected from sedimentation during construction activities and the paver blocks should be installed last. Please check the paver cross section on sheet 13 as it does not work for a 15 inch pipe. We can send you updated copies of the paver and bioretention construction details. The Erosion Control Plan and report do not meet minimum standards. For guidance on these standards please refer to the document located at the City website: https://www.fcgov.com/utilities/img/site_specific/uploads/Accomp_Doc.pdf. The main missing items is a discussion in the report of the actual measures being implemented on this site rather than general requirements. Add note stating that any tracking of sediment or debris must be cleaned by the contractor within 24 hours. Please provide protection for downstream inlet on Elizabeth. The Erosion Control Security Estimate should be updated to reflect final measures used. Please refer to redlines for additional comments. Response: Updated paver cross section is provided in the details. More detail is added to the report for the actual measures being proposed. Construction sequencing will be included in construction management plan attached to the development agreement. Response: We would like to defer this to be submitted with our construction management plan via the development agreement. This contraction management plan is currently being prepared and will be ready for review by the time of our next staff meeting. 12 Contact: Heather McDowell, 970-224-6065, hmcdowell@fcgov.com Topic: Construction Drawings Comment Number: 1 Comment Originated: 04/23/2018 04/23/2018: Storm Sewer Plan: All of the proposed storm pipes are required to be profiled and included in the construction drawings. This is a standard FDP plans requirement. Response: All storm sewers are profiled and shown in the construction drawings. Comment Number: 2 Comment Originated: 04/23/2018 04/23/2018: Storm Sewer Plan: There are a couple of inlets called out as “manholes” on this sheet. The inlets need to be called out correctly with the proposed inlet type and size included. These also need to be sized in the drainage report. Response: Structure names revised. Inlet types and sizes included in the storm sewer plan and profiles. Sizing details included in the drainage report. Comment Number: 3 Comment Originated: 04/23/2018 04/23/2018: Storm Sewer Plan: The manhole at the detention vault outfall needs to be drawn to scale and drawn with the weir wall and pipes coming into and out of this structure so it can be shown to work. Response: Outlet control structure is now drawn to scale and can be found on Sheet 21. Comment Number: 4 Comment Originated: 04/23/2018 04/23/2018: Storm Sewer Plan: There are several locations where storm piping and/or grading is being proposed off of your property. There is one area where it doesn’t look like there is an existing drainage easement on the south side of the south building. You will need the adjacent property owner’s permission to do work on their property particularly in areas where there is no easement. Response: Off property work has been eliminated and utility routing revised. Comment Number: 5 Comment Originated: 04/23/2018 04/23/2018: Proposed Drainage Plan: The required volume for the raingardens shown in the table on this sheet doesn’t match the text callouts on the plan. Please reconcile. Response: Column added in table to show provided and required volumes so the text callouts can match. Topic: Drainage Report Comment Number: 6 Comment Originated: 04/23/2018 04/23/2018: LID: Please note that we do not require orifice control on rain gardens. For Rain Garden #2 it looks like you may have used an incorrect area to size this rain garden. Please review. Response: Comment noted about orifice on rain gardens. Area for drain revised and rain garden sized appropriately. Comment Number: 7 Comment Originated: 04/23/2018 04/23/2018: Detention Vault: It looks like the calculated storage available in the proposed garage vault is 6751 cf. However, the amount of existing detention on this site, from the Potts PUD drainage report, is 7660 cf. Also, I’m not sure how hydroCAD is calculating the pond volume. CoFC requirements for sizing detention ponds is typically using a mass balance approach using CoFC rainfall data. Please fix this. 13 Response: Detention volume provided is more than the 7,660 CF, slightly more than the volume that was provided in the parking lot previously. Report has clarified the detention calculations and volumes. Mass balance approach spreadsheet included in the drainage report.

Contact: Heather McDowell, 970-224-6065, hmcdowell@fcgov.com Topic: Construction Drawings Comment Number: 2 Comment Originated: 04/23/2018 04/23/2018: Demo Plan: The existing hydrant on the west access road needs to be abandoned at the main and the hydrant removed as well because you are relocating this, correct? This needs to be called out on the demo plan. The existing water service to the brew house from the west access road also needs to be removed. The meter and meter pit need full removal. Also, some of the required abandonment work appears to be located outside of your property and outside of the existing utility easements, as such it doesn’t appear as though you have a legal right to do this work. Response: Fire hydrant line will be abandoned at the back of the sidewalk as there is no easement and allowance for us to perform the work off property. A variance request is included in this resubmittal. Water service line for the old brew house will be reused for irrigation on our proposed site. This has been revised and noted on the plans. Response: Since the City does not possess the proper easements to support the City’s public utility infrastructure we are unable to perform abandonment work per the ideal City requirements. We will work with the City on a viable solution for all parties involved. Comment Number: 3 Comment Originated: 04/23/2018 04/23/2018: Demo Plan: The existing sanitary sewer through the Potts site is shown to be abandoned, but this needs to be fully removed right? Response: Sanitary service clearly noted to be removed. Comment Number: 4 Comment Originated: 04/23/2018 15 04/23/2018: Dimension Control Plan: This plan shows handrails right on top of the water meter lid. This isn’t going to work as the handrail will inhibit removal of the lid and access to the vault. The water meter needs to be moved away from the handrail and front door to this building anyway. Response: Water meter has been moved and handrails removed from the front of the building with the reduction in width to the south building (Building B). Comment Number: 5 Comment Originated: 04/23/2018 04/23/2018: Dimension Control Plan: Per note 21 on this plan, you are calling out for riprap at all the roof drain locations. This is not appropriate in this setting and CoFC storm drainage criteria discourages the use of riprap anyway. Consider using concrete splash blocks instead. Response: Riprap has been removed from the roof drain downspout locations and splash pans will be provided instead. Comment Number: 6 Comment Originated: 04/23/2018 04/23/2018: Utility Plan: Plan and profile sheets are required for both the sanitary sewer system and the storm sewer system. This is a standard FDP plans requirement. Response: Plan and profile sheets are provided for all sanitary and storm lines. Comment Number: 7 Comment Originated: 04/23/2018 04/23/2018: Utility Plan: The storm inlet and outlet pipes to the detention vault are configured different than what I approved at PDP. These pipes are right next to each other and are creating proximity issues for all the other piping in the area. You are now not meeting separation requirements again. Why has this configuration been changed? Response: The configuration had changed due to the inability to do work on Matador property. The routing of the storm sewer into the detention facility has been revised as well as the sanitary routing coming from the south to provide proper separation of the manholes. Comment Number: 8 Comment Originated: 04/23/2018 04/23/2018: Utility Plan: The existing transformer and sanitary sewer manhole proximity is not going to work. It now looks like you are proposing to replace the existing sanitary sewer manhole that is adjacent (0-feet separation) from the existing transformer. This is not constructable. Please propose something else. Response: The existing sanitary structure is proposed to remain in place. Trenching along the existing transformer will not be needed. We propose to modify the outlet of the existing sanitary structure. Comment Number: 9 Comment Originated: 04/23/2018 04/23/2018: Utility Plan: The proposed 4-inch water service vault to the south building is located at the front door of this building, and halfway on a ramp with handrails; it’s also only separated from the existing storm line by 2’. This area also needs to be adjusted to meet separation requirements and to get the water meter lid away from a handrail and high pedestrian traffic zone. Response: Water meter has been relocated to the southwest corner of the building and is no longer near the main entrance and there are no longer any handrails. Comment Number: 10 Comment Originated: 04/23/2018 04/23/2018: Utility Plan: There are several final level construction plan callouts required for the water system. Please see redlines. Response: Water profiles updated per your redlines. 16 Comment Number: 11 Comment Originated: 04/23/2018 04/23/2018: Utility Plan: One of the water meters has been shifted behind the ROW, but the other one is still located within the ROW. Please work with Engineering to determine if they are ok with a water meter being placed in the ROW. Response: 2” water meter has moved south and is now out of the right of way. Comment Number: 12 Comment Originated: 04/23/2018 04/23/2018: Cross-Section Profile Plan: The water profiles need to also include callouts for fittings or deflections in the profiles. Response: Callouts for fittings provided in the revised profiles.
