Topic: General
Comment Number: 1 Comment Originated: 10/10/2017
10/10/2017: The legal description was updated on the site plan to reflect Lot 1 Harmony Commons Second Filing, however the
title blocks on the planning documents are still in inaccurate in this regard and should be updated.
RESPONSE: The titleblock has been updated.
Comment Number: 2 Comment Originated: 10/10/2017
10/10/2017: Carrying over a previous PDP comment: The civil drawings reflect the storm infrastructure being built with Lot 2 on
this property as existing. I'll want to track the timing of the Lot 2 work such that at the time of approval of these plans, it is noted as
either existing, or to be constructed with Lot 2.
RESPONSE: Storm infrastructure is now denoted as “BUILT W/ LOT 2”.
Comment Number: 3 Comment Originated: 10/10/2017
10/10/2017: Carrying over a previous comment that I think is not resolved: I don't believe this was provided?
The civil drawings reflect some offsite grading on Lot 7 (and landscaping work on the landscape plan) as well as grading on Outlot
A (MAVD). We should get an email/letter from MAVD indicating their OK with both the grading on their property, as well as
confirmation on their OK in concept to the future ped path depiction between their lot 7 and this property that they're
acknowledging will be built with their development.
RESPONSE: Refer to cost sharing agreement between MAVD and Brinkman.
Comment Number: 4 Comment Originated: 10/10/2017
10/10/2017: Please update the plans to reflect the construction of access ramps at both sides of the driveway at the southeast
corner of the site (the western access ramp built with this project, the eastern access ramp built with Lot 2), as indicated in Bill
Wells email on 10/3.
RESPONSE: Plans now show access ramps.
Comment Number: 5 Comment Originated: 10/10/2017
10/10/2017: The project should also be installing access ramps on both sides of the driveway at the southwest corner of the
property. It's awkward that this ties into the main bike/ped from Harmony Road without the access ramps.
RESPONSE: Plans now show access ramps.

10/10/2017: Please use the most current version of the City of Fort Collins General Landscape notes (Nov 2015) which are
available through City Forestry (Molly Roche – mroche@fcgov.com).
RESPONSE: The General Landscape notes have been updated accordingly.
Comment Number: 3 Comment Originated: 10/10/2017
10/10/2017: Please consider diversifying tree species on this project, especially within the parking lot and along the south edge
of the project. City Forestry suggests using Kentucky Coffeetree and Catalpa in addition to the proposed Honeylocust and
Bur Oak trees.
RESPONSE: The tree species have been diversified.
Comment Number: 4 Comment Originated: 10/10/2017
10/10/2017: There appears to be some discrepancies in the number of species shown on the landscape plan versus what is
shown in the plant list (ex: 10 HS on plans, 9 shown on plant list). Please correct species counts on the landscape plans/plant
list and take into consideration any species additions as well.
RESPONSE: The number of all species have been updated accurately.

10/09/2017: On the Site Plan, please add a note that explains that the alignment of the north-south walkway along the western
property line will meander across the shared property line and will be constructed at the time of development for Lot 7 and that the
developer of Lot 1 will fully cooperate in this endeavor.
RESPONSE: Note added.
Comment Number: 2 Comment Originated: 10/09/2017
10/09/2017: On the Landscape Plan, please check the quantities of the shade trees. I count 10 Honeylocust, not 9. For the
Bur Oak, I count 9, not 8 for a total of 19, not 17.
RESPONSE: The number of all species have been updated accurately.
Comment Number: 3 Comment Originated: 10/09/2017
10/09/2017: There are 17 parking spaces along the southern edge without the benefit of a landscape island which is required if
there are more than 15 spaces in sequence. At the time of P.D.P., there were only 15 spaces which did not necessitate an
island. Please add a landscape island with a shade tree or provide an alternative compliance solution that accomplishes the
purpose of the standard in a manner that is equal to or better.
RESPONSE: A juniper blockade has been created to screen the parking.

Topic: Erosion Control
Comment Number: 1 Comment Originated: 09/26/2017
10/10/2017: No Comment from Erosion Control. Based upon the submitted Erosion Control Materials it has been determined
that this site; disturbs less than 10,000 sq. ft., is not in a sensitive area, has no steep slopes (greater than 3H:1V), and is not in a
larger development under construction. Therefore, no submittal of Erosion Control Materials are needed at this time. The site
however, still must be swept and maintained to prevent dirt, saw cuttings, concrete wash, trash & debris, landscape materials and
other pollutants from entering the storm sewer at all times in accordance with City Code 26-498 or erosion and sediment control
measures will be required of the site. Near by area inlets should be protected as a good preventative practice. If issues arise
when pulling applicable building permits please email erosion@fcgov.com to ease getting these signed off. If you need
clarification concerning the Erosion Control Material Requirements or Comments presented above please contact
myself. Jesse Schlam (970) 224-6015 jschlam@fcgov.com 09/26/2017: Current Erosion Control Materials Submitted do not
meet requirements. The erosion control requirements are in the Stormwater Design Criteria under the Amendments of Volume 3
Chapter 7 Section 1.3.3. a copy of the erosion control requirements can be found at www.fcgov.com/eroison. The
Erosion Control Materials will need to be submitted at time of the first round of FDP. Please resubmit an Erosion Control Plans as
the recently received materials have comments and redlines that needed to be addressed to meet City Criteria. Please submit an
Erosion Control Report as none was included in the recently received materials and is required to be submitted to meet City
Criteria. Please submit an Erosion Control Escrow / Security Calculation as none was included in the recently received materials
and is required to be submitted to meet City Criteria. The site disturbs more than 10,000 sq. ft. and therefore Erosion and
Sediment Control Materials need to be submitted. Based upon the area of disturbance, State permits for stormwater will be
required since the site is over an acre and should be pulled before Construction Activities begin. Erosion Control Materials will
need to be produced, reviewed, and accepted to meet City Erosion Control Criteria before Development Agreement Language
can be drafted. If you need clarification concerning the Erosion Control Material Requirements or Comments presented above
please contact myself. Jesse Schlam (970) 224-6015 jschlam@fcgov.com
RESPONSE: Comments addressed and Escrow updated in report.

at these crossing locations.

10/11/2017: When will the north/south pedestrian trail on the west side be built? It would be helpful to have that constructed
with this lot, not the next one. Or provide an explanation of why it can't be done now.
RESPONSE: The walk will be constructed with Lot 7. Since the walk meanders across the property lines, there is a cost share
agreement between MAVD and Brinkman.
