Response: removed from plans. Comment Number: 8 Comment Originated: 08/09/2018 08/09/2018: There is a period before the amount of PMI proposed on the plant list that makes it look like you're proposing 0.8 PMI. Since the landscape plan shows 8 PMI, I assume all that needs to be done to resolve this issue is to remove the period on the plant list. Response: Corrected. Topic: Site Plan Comment Number: 6 Comment Originated: 06/27/2018 08/09/2018: This has not been resolved. Please update the parking table to show 21 enclosed bike parking spaces. Response: Corrected.

Department: Stormwater Engineering Contact: Basil Hamdan, 970-224-6035, bhamdan@fcgov.com Topic: Erosion Control Comment Number: 11 Comment Originated: 06/28/2018 08/08/2018: This site is very close to the Poudre River, therefore it is very important that a treatment train type of Erosion and Sediment Control measures be used to protect the river from sediment discharge in case one of these measures fails during a rainfall event. Maintenance of proposed measures is very important especially at the downstream end in the detention pond. Additional permanent sediment forebays should be placed in the rain garden to protect the river from sediment loading over the long run. Please refer to the redlined report and plans for additional detailed comments. – Erosion control plans updated per redlines 06/28/2018: The erosion control requirements are in the Stormwater Design Criteria under the Amendments of Volume 3 Chapter 7 Section 1.3.3. The current Erosion Control Materials Submitted do not meet requirements. See redlines of the submitted ESC Plan and Report for specific comments and corrections. The Erosion Control Report (Stormwater Management Control) submitted was incomplete and not acceptable neither for City Erosion Control Requirements nor for State SWMP requirements. The Site will also have to supply new Erosion Control Escrow Calculations which were not provided at this time. The currently submitted ESC report is a generic report that does not address the specifics of the site. Any subsequent submittal must provide a substantive report that describes construction activities on this site, addresses what specific measures are being implemented and provides a sequencing of ESC activities for the contractor to follow. Failure to provide a specific report for this site will result in the rejection of your next submittal. For reference please follow the guidelines provided on the City's website at and use the checklist to ensure a complete submittal is provided.

Response: Note has been added to grading and landscape plans. 07/02/2018: The rain garden will need to be protected during construction so please show some sort of protection around the perimeter of the rain garden - straw wattles or silt fence perhaps. Response: Rain garden is protected with wattles during construction. Refer to SWMP Comment Number: 20 Comment Originated: 07/02/2018 08/22/2018: The ST-600 shows a flared-end section on the upstream end. This should be an inlet. – ST-600 has been redesigned to use a curb inlet instead of a FES. 07/02/2018: Storm Sewer Plan - I'm questioning many of the callouts on the storm plan including: Wye callouts - what are these actually indicating? Are these cleanouts or other? grated tops or solid? why are you calling out for an area inlet at the curb in the parking lot? The type C inlet in the rain garden seems like overkill; it would be best to minimize the amount of pipes coming into the rain garden to also minimize the amount of forebays that need to be constructed. Response: The Storm Sewer system has been re-designed and updated to minimize the number of pipes coming into the rain garden Contact: Wes Lamarque, 970-416-2418, wlamarque@fcgov.com Topic: General Comment Number: 1 Comment Originated: 06/20/2018 08/21/2018: Due to the location of the pond to the natural area, the City would prefer a more natural forebay option. The City suggests a meeting to discuss options. . – the rain garden has been redesigned to option discussed with city 06/20/2018: Forbays are required for the entry points into the rain garden. These are required to collect sediment and reduce the erosion at the pipe outlets. Please coordinate with the City on design options. Response: Forebays added to entry points into the rain garden Comment Number: 4 Comment Originated: 06/20/2018 08/21/2018: The outlet structure has a WQ plate which I think is not needed. More discussion is needed. – WQ plate has been removed 06/20/2018: Please use a more standard trash rack for the quantity detention outlet structure. The proposed well screen would most likely get clogged in this application where the screen is on an incline and not placed vertical. Response: Outlet structure updated to be more standard Comment Number: 8 Comment Originated: 06/20/2018 08/21/2018: Repeat Comment. Additional conflicts near the hotel building. Response: Utility conflicts have been addressed by relocating utilities and storm sewer to not be in conflict 06/20/2018: There are some conflicts with the storm sewers and trees in the ponds area. Please provide 10 feet of separation. Response: Adjustments made – note of min typ. Dimension has been added to plans. Comment Number: 21 Comment Originated: 08/20/2018 08/20/2018: The rain garden is now located in the bottom of the quantity detention pond. Generally, The City requires the LID basin to be located outside of the quantity detention pond. Discussion is required for the best option to place the rain garden within the quantity detention pond. – Rain garden has been moved to the east of the bottom of the pond and has been sized to hold 100% of the WQCV.
