Comment Summary: Department: Planning Services Contact: Ted Shepard, 970-221-6343, tshepard@fcgov.com Topic: General Comment Number: 1 Comment Originated: 09/10/2018 The proposed development project is subject to a Type 2 (Planning and Zoning Board) review and public hearing. The applicant for this development request is required to hold a neighborhood information meeting prior to formal submittal of the proposal. Neighborhood meetings offer an informal way to get feedback from your surrounding neighbors and discover any potential hiccups prior to the formal hearing. Please contact me, at 221 6343, to assist you in setting a date, time, and location. I and possibly other City staff would be present to facilitate the meeting. HCM response: Neighborhood Meeting was held on Wednesday September 26, 2018 Comment Number: 2 Comment Originated: 09/10/2018 Please provide landscape plans and details with planting list and legend. Overall planting plan to show full tree stocking, building foundation planting and parking lot screening and interior lot planting islands. HCM response: See attached landscape plan submitted with SPAR package 2 Comment Number: 3 Comment Originated: 09/10/2018 Off-street parking requirements for proposed 55,333 SF building. The parking requirements for general office use is minimum 1/1000 SF and 3/1000 SF of gross leasable space of proposed building. For medical office use it is min. 2/1000 SF and 4.5/1000 SF max. HCM response: Using the assumption of one (1) space per 1,000 SF, the campus current has 261,863 GSF not including storage facilities, which equates to 262 parking spaces (or 269 spaces if you include storage facilities), and per the parking count matrix below there are currently 2,072 spaces available. If we include the approximate 61,000 GSF for the new Healthcare Careers Center we will have a new grand total of 322,863 GSF which will increase the required parking number to 330 spaces (including storage facilities), which will still be well below required capacity. For Handicap parking, there are 41 spaces and per the zoning requirement 29 handicap parking spaces are required.

JVA Response: The site will conform to the Campus Drainage Master Plan, which is included with this Submittal for reference. Comment Number: 3 Comment Originated: 09/10/2018 09/10/2018: DOCUMENTATION REQUIREMENTS (SITE SPECIFIC COMMENT): A drainage report (or addendum to the previous master drainage study) and construction plans are required, and they must be prepared by a Professional Engineer registered in the State of Colorado. The drainage report must address the four-step process for selecting structural BMPs as well as show how the added building is within the impervious assumptions, runoff values and volume provided in the existing detention pond and conveyance systems. JVA Response: See attached drainage memo Comment Number: 4 Comment Originated: 09/10/2018 09/10/2018: IMPERVIOUSNESS DOCUMENTATION (STANDARD COMMENT): It is important to document the existing impervious area since drainage requirements and fees are based on new impervious area. An exhibit showing the existing and proposed impervious areas with a table summarizing the areas is required prior to the time fees are calculated for each building permit. JVA Response: The increase in impervious area has been provided on attached site plan SP-1. 4 Comment Number: 5 Comment Originated: 09/10/2018 09/10/2018: STANDARD WATER QUALITY REQUIREMENTS (STANDARD COMMENT) Standard water quality is provided in the existing extended detention basin located at the northeast corner of the campus. The water quality capture volume must be shown to be adequate with the addition of this project, or additional water quality capture volume will need to be added somewhere on the campus. The general requirement for water quality is that fifty percent of the site runoff is required to be treated using the standard water quality treatment as described in the Fort Collins Stormwater Manual, Volume 3-Best Management Practices (BMPs). (http://www.fcgov.com/utilities/business/builders-and-developers/development-f orms-guidelines-regulations/stormwater-criteria) Extended detention is the usual method selected for water quality treatment; however, the use of any of the BMPs is encouraged. JVA Response: Storm water quality is already included in the downstream regional detention pond. Comment Number: 6 Comment Originated: 09/10/2018 09/10/2018: LID REQUIREMENTS (STANDARD COMMENT): (??) Low Impact Development (LID) requirements are required on all new or redeveloping property which includes sites required to be brought into compliance with the Land Use Code. These require a higher degree of water quality treatment with one of the two following options: 1. 50% of the newly added or modified impervious area must be treated by LID techniques and 25% of new paved areas must be pervious. 2. 75% of all newly added or modified impervious area must be treated by LID techniques. JVA Response: The HCCC design will incorporate LID techniques Comment Number: 7 Comment Originated: 09/10/2018 09/10/2018: INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE (STANDARD COMMENT): There will be a final site inspection of the stormwater facilities when the project is complete and the maintenance is handed over to an HOA or another maintenance organization. Standard operating procedures (SOPs) for on-going maintenance of all onsite drainage facilities will be included as part of the Development Agreement. More information and links can be found at: http://www.fcgov.com/utilities/what-we-do/stormwater/stormwater-quality/low-im pact-development FRCC: The College performs all necessary maintenance on the on-site campus drainage features. 5 Comment Number: 8 Comment Originated: 09/10/2018 09/10/2018: FEES (STANDARD COMMENT): Stormwater Development Fees include two components: Plant Investment Fees (PIFs) and Review Fees. 1. PIFs (2018) are $8,217/acre of new impervious area over 350 square feet ($8,217 x % imperviousness x site acreage) 2. Review Fees are $1,045/acre of new impervious area and based on the impervious area rate factor (i.e. $1,045 x rate factor (based on % imperviousness) x site acreage) Fees are to be paid at the time of the issuance of the first building permit. There are no fees charged for existing impervious areas. Stormwater Development Fees for parking lots or other projects that do not require a building permit are due prior to project approval. The fees are calculated the same as for project sites with buildings. More information on stormwater fees can be found at: http://www.fcgov.com/utilities/business/builders-and-developers/plant-investmen t-development-fees or contact our Utility Fee and Rate Specialists at (970) 416-4252 for questions on fees.

City of Fort Collins Land Use Code [Section 3.2.1 (E)(3)], requires that to the extent reasonably feasible, all plans be designed to incorporate water conservation materials and techniques. This includes use of low-water-use plants and grasses in landscaping or re-landscaping and reducing bluegrass lawns as much as possible. Native plants and wildlife-friendly (ex: pollinators, butterflies, songbirds) landscaping and maintenance are also encouraged. Please refer to the Fort Collins Native Plants document available online and published by the City of Fort Collins Natural Areas Department for guidance on native plants is: http://www.fcgov.com/naturalareas/pdf/nativeplants2013.pdf. Also see the City of Fort Collins Plant List: https://www.fcgov.com/forestry/plant_list.pdf. HCM response: Please refer to attached landscape plan. All plantings included are per the city Foresters approved tree and plant list. 12 Comment Number: 2 Comment Originated: 09/11/2018 09/11/2018: If there may be impacts to trees note LUC Section 3.2.1(C) requires developments to submit a landscape and tree protection plan, and if receiving water service from the City, an irrigation plan, that: "...(4) protects significant trees, natural systems, and habitat, and (5) enhances the pedestrian environment. " Note that a significant tree is defined as one having DBH (Diameter at Breast Height) of six inches or more. If trees may be impacted then a review of trees shall be conducted with Ralph Zentz, Senior Urban Forester (970-221-6302 or rzentz@fcgov.com) to determine the status of existing trees and any mitigation requirements that could result from the proposed development. FRCC response: The City forester, Molly Roche, walked the site with the FRCC facilities landscape representative, Ann Garland, and provided a list of standards and recommendations for protecting existing trees and approach for new landscaping in an email dated 10/05/2018. These standards will be integrated into the final landscape plan. We’ve attached the standards documents provided by Molly for reference. Any existing trees in the right of way will be protected and irrigation will be maintained. Where possible trees that need to be moved will either be relocated or if in poor health new trees replanted to replace those that were lost. Comment Number: 3 Comment Originated: 09/11/2018 09/11/2018: Note that in regard to lighting, especially LED light fixtures, cooler color temperatures are harsher at night and cause more disruption to circadian (biological) rhythms for both humans and wildlife. Warmer color temperature (warm white, 3000K or less) for any LED light fixtures is preferred. Please also consider fixtures with motion-sensing or dimming capabilities so that light levels can be adjusted as needed. Site light sources shall be fully shielded and down-directional to minimize up-light, light spillage and glare [see LUC 3.2.4(D) (3)]. Thank you in advance for supporting City of Fort Collins Night Sky Objectives.

This switch cabinet has the ability to run new primary to a dedicated transformer for the proposed new building. CRA response: Noted Comment Number: 2 Comment Originated: 09/11/2018 09/11/2018: Transformer locations shall be within 10' of a paved surface and must have a minimum of an 8' clearance from the front side and a 3' clearance around the sides and rear. (1000 kVA up to 2500 kVA requires 4' around the sides and rear.) CRA response: Per conversations in November 2018 with the Utility Company and per our existing conditions review, it appears the medium-voltage switch is located near the NW corner of the Sunlight Peak building, rather than the Blanca Peak building. It is anticipated that a new electrical service will be connected to the existing medium-voltage switch.
