If you have questions about any comments, you may contact your Development Review Coordinator, Todd Sullivan, at 970.221.6695 or tsullivan@fcgov.com . Comment Summary: Department: Planning Services Contact: Kai Kleer, 970-416-4284, kkleer@fcgov.com Topic: General Comment Number: 1 Comment Originated: 07/15/2019 07/15/2019 FOR HEARING: A minimum parking stall dimension for off-street parking spaces is 9'x19'. Parking stalls may be reduced in depth to 17' if the vehicle can overhang into a landscape area by 2 feet. If a 17-foot stall depth is used please include a wheel stop for each vehicle and show on site plan. For next submittal please add stall dimensions and the aforementioned wheel Page 1 of 8 stops. Since this use is considered ‘long term parking,’ we have incorporated one compact parking spot (25% of parking scheme). See Site Plan on A0.0 for dimensions. Comment Number: 2 Comment Originated: 07/15/2019 07/15/2019 INFORMATION ONLY: So long as comment number one can be addressed Planning Services is ready for hearing. No response needed. Department: Stormwater Engineering Contact: Basil Hamdan, 970-224-6035, bhamdan@fcgov.com Topic: Erosion Control Comment Number: 5 Comment Originated: 07/15/2019 07/15/2019: INFORMATION ONLY: No Comment from Erosion Control. Based upon the submitted Planning Materials it has been determined that this project; will disturb less than 10,000 sq. ft., is not proposed to be in a sensitive area, has no steep slopes (greater than 3H:1V) within or adjacent to the project, and is not part of a larger common development that will or is under construction. Therefore, no Erosion Control Material submittal is needed. If this project substantially changes in size or design where the above criteria now apply, erosion control materials should be submitted. Though the project, currently, requires no erosion control material submittal, the project still must be swept and maintained at all times, to prevent dirt, saw cuttings, concrete wash, trash & debris, landscape materials and other pollutants from the potential of leaving the site and entering the storm sewer during the project in accordance with City Code 26-498. If complaint driven or site observation of the project seems not to prevent the pollutant discharge the City may require the project to install erosion and sediment control measures. Nearby inlets that may be impacted by the pollutants, in particular dirt, should be protected as a good preventative practice and individual lots should be protected from material escaping onto the sidewalk. If at building permit issuance any issues arise please email erosion@fcgov.com to help facilitate getting these permits signed off. Page 2 of 8 No response needed. Contact: Matt Simpson, (970)416-2754, masimpson@fcgov.com Topic: General Comment Number: 1 Comment Originated: 07/12/2019 07/12/2019: FOR HEARING: Proposed Grading Plan: Because site improvements exceed 1000 SF of new impervious area, a proposed grading plan certified by a Colorado PE will be required. This will need to show existing topography, proposed grading, and be on the NAVD 88 vertical datum. See grading/drainage plan on sheet U2.0. Comment Number: 2 Comment Originated: 07/12/2019 07/12/2019: FOR HEARING: Drainage Report: Please provide hydrology flow calculations. Because of the significant site improvements (+1000 SF impervious area), the drainage letter will need to confirm that the increased flows can be conveyed to Lesser Drive or an adequate public facility. See drainage letter provided by Advanced Engineering. Comment Number: 3 Comment Originated: 07/12/2019 07/12/2019: FOR HEARING: Water Quality: Per conceptual comment #7 (stormwater), stormwater quality treatment is required due to the increase in impervious area on this site. There are multiple options for how this may be accomplished, which could include disconnecting impervious areas, direct the downspouts to a landscape area, swale conveyance, or rain gardens. Please coordinate with Fort Collins Stormwater to discuss options. See grading/drainage plan on U2.0 for stormwater quality treatment measures. Comment Number: 4 Comment Originated: 07/12/2019 07/12/2019: INFORMATION ONLY: This site is in a moderate risk City floodplain. This zone is not regulated. However, we encourage you to elevate the new structure to a minimum of 1-foot above the back-of-sidewalk elevation. No response needed. Department: Water-Wastewater Engineering Page 3 of 8 Contact: Matt Simpson, (970)416-2754, masimpson@fcgov.com Topic: General Comment Number: 1 Comment Originated: 07/16/2019 07/16/2019: FOR HEARING: Separation between proposed utility services is too tight. New or modified water and sanitary services require 6-feet of separation from other utilities and 10-feet between water and sanitary. Per Matt Simpson, we will be allowed 4 feet of separation between the sanitary sewer and new gas line. See Utility Plan on Sheet U1.0. Department: Light And Power Contact: Cody Snowdon, 970-416-2306, csnowdon@fcgov.com Topic: General Comment Number: 1 Comment Originated: 07/16/2019 07/16/2019 FOR HEARING: The proposed electric service will need to be located 3 feet from all other utility services. See proposed utility plan that meets this requirement on Sheet U1.0. Comment Number: 2 Comment Originated: 07/16/2019 07/16/2019 FOR INFORMATION: This area is supplied by a 25 kVA Transformer, which is near capacity. The additional capacity required for the building addition and new service for the carriage house will require the transformer to be upgraded to a 50 kVA transformer, which will be an additional cost of $778.98. That system modification would be at the expense of the project. No response needed. Comment Number: 3 Comment Originated: 07/16/2019 07/16/2019: FOR INFORMATION: Please refer to Section 8 of the Electric Service Standards for addition requirements for metering.

Per Matt Simpson, no Development Agreement is needed for the water quality measures we are taking on this site. Comment Number: 3 Comment Originated: 07/17/2019 07/17/2019: FOR HEARING: If an PE stamped drainage plan is required, please separate the utility and grading plan sheets from the planning set to create a utility plan set. For the utility plan set please use the checklist in LCUASS Page 5 of 8 section E-4 for coversheet requirements and applicable standard comments from section E1 and E-2 for general notes for the utility plan set needed from the Stormwater department. The following link will take you to the sections listed: https://www.larimer.org/sites/default/files/apdxe.pdf See separated Utility Plan set on pages U1.0 and U2.0. Comment Number: 4 Comment Originated: 07/17/2019 07/17/2019: FOR HEARING: The city only allows 750 square feet of sheet flow over sidewalks. Currently there is more than that area proposed and a sidewalk chase would be required. Please use our standard figure D-11 for a sidewalk chase. Here Is a link to that detail: http://citydocs.fcgov.com/? cmd=download&vid=189&pageid=6449552&docid=2472232 Sidewalk chase used to convey stormwater from swale to Lesser drive.
