Many of the comments within this letter were discussed during the in-person meeting. Comment Number: 2 Comment Originated: 06/16/2020 06/16/2020: Further refinement of the proposed block system is needed. Please visit 3.8.30(D) Figure 16B and 16C an see staff redlines on a potential solution of how this standard could be better met. RESPONSE: As discussed, the project layout has been refined to better meet the block standards. Comment Number: 3 Comment Originated: 06/16/2020 06/16/2020: This plan will be required to demonstrate several key circulation elements that will drive the overall orientation and layout of the multi-family buildings. These elements include: • A pedestrian spine contained within an easement that also preserves portions of the existing tree canopy. This element should be designed in a way to provide an obvious and direct connection from the stubbed walkway on the west side of the transit center parking lot to S College Avenue. RESPONSE: A pedestrian spine exists from College Avenue to the Transit Center and Mason Trail. • A north/south sidewalk along the western edge of the site that connects into an east/west multi-use path along that traverses the north property line. RESPONSE: There is an east-west trail along the north property line. • A minimum of a stubbed street connection into the north lot boundary that will provide access to a local circulator road identified in the 2002 Access Control Plan. This road would extend from College Avenue through the Spradley Barr site and connect into the already constructed 40’ roadway within the South College Transit Center (see South College Transit Center Plat and Figure 5-7 of the Access Control Plan for more information). RESPONSE: A street is stubbed to Spradley Barr. • Reconfiguration of the street-like private drive that includes a continuous network of sidewalks with street-trees cutouts with grates, planters, seating and pedestrian light fixtures. RESPONSE: A street-like private is provided with a detached sidewalk, tree lawn and parallel parking. Comment Number: 4 Comment Originated: 06/16/2020 4 06/16/2020: Regarding building placement, the plan should focus the orientation of the entryways along Fairway Lane, walkway spine, street-like private drive, College Avenue, South Transit Center and future east-west connection on the Spradley Barr site. RESPONSE: Connections are provided from the building entrances to the sidewalk and trail systems. Comment Number: 5 Comment Originated: 06/16/2020 06/16/2020: The perspective views provided in the submittal package do not demonstrate compliance with the material and color standards of the TOD district. As the design is further refined, please ensure that the predominant exterior building materials consist of brick, sandstone, other native stone, tinted/textured concrete masonry units, stucco systems or treated tilt-up concrete systems. More specifically, building facades should incorporate stone, stone veneer, brick, brick veneer, stucco, corrugated metal, wood and/or equivalent accent material in a manner that highlights the articulation of the massing or the base and top of the building. An all-brick building does not need to incorporate an accent material, though soldier courses and banding or other brick, stone or metal detailing are encouraged in order to subdivide masses and establish human scale. Further, the third story will need to be designed so that upper portions of the building are stepped back from the base (first and second floor). RESPONSE: Building architecture and exterior materials are referenced more clearly on the updated building elevations. The base of the buildings is grounded in a stone waiscot, and additional areas that extend the stone further up the façade. Corrugated metal has been used as an accent at the building entrances, in line with the Modern Farmhouse approach to the architecture design. Three different color schemes are used across the different buildings across this site. Comment Number: 6 Comment Originated: 06/16/2020 06/16/2020: As discussed during the site visit, at least one prominent or central location within each transit station area shall include a convenient outdoor open space or plaza with amenities such as benches, monuments, kiosks or public art. The most practical location to meet this requirement would be along the western edge of the site surrounding the pedestrian spine. RESPONSE: Amenities are provided throughout the site with the main focus area along the pedestrian spine. Comment Number: 7 Comment Originated: 06/16/2020 06/16/2020: Because it was revealed by City staff that there may be several irrigation ditches with associated water rights that exist on the property, further investigation will be required by the applicant team to determine if these site elements exist/can be modified. RESPONSE: Acknowledged – the design team will work with the City in future submittals and research active water rights served by the ditch.” Comment Number: 8 Comment Originated: 06/16/2020 06/16/2020: At time of submittal please provide a calculation that demonstrates compliance with 3.8.30(D) - Block Requirements, which requires a minimum of 40% of each block side or 50% percent of the block faces consists of either building frontage, plazas or other functional open space. RESPONSE: A block face diagram sheet is included with the calculations shown.

Department: Traffic Operation Contact: Martina Wilkinson, 970-221-6887, mwilkinson@fcgov.com Topic: General Comment Number: 1 Comment Originated: 06/11/2020 06/11/2020: Re: TRAFFIC STUDY - The expected traffic from this project will meet the threshold of requiring a traffic impact study. Please have your traffic engineer contact me to scope the study. RESPONSE: A TIS is included. Comment Number: 2 Comment Originated: 06/11/2020 06/11/2020: Re: ACCESS - Accesses to College are controlled by the adopted South College Access Control Plan. The relevant page from the plan is included with the comment letter. The plan shows a potential 3/4 movement at the north end of your property (intended to be shared with the neighboring property), and a right turn in along the property. Minor adjustments can be made, while larger changes (such as a full movement access along your property) would require a plan amendment. RESPONSE: The TIS addresses this. Comment Number: 3 Comment Originated: 06/11/2020 06/11/2020: Re: SOUTH COLLEGE ACCESS CONTROL PLAN: The plan shows a circulator roadway along the perimeter of your property. The viability or appropriateness of that will need to be discussed. RESPONSE: Acknowledged. Comment Number: 4 Comment Originated: 06/11/2020 9 06/11/2020: Re: MAIN PROPERTY ACCESS: We encourage you to design the property to have its main access off of Fairway Lane. With a signalized intersection at College, this is the most appropriate location for residents to access their homes using a vehicle. Any access off of College will be limited movement, and more minor. RESPONSE: The main access is shown from Fairway Lane. Comment Number: 5 Comment Originated: 06/11/2020 06/11/2020: Re: PEDESTRIAN CONNECTIVITY: Thank you for thinking about pedestrian connectivity to the Transit Center.

Department: Transportation Planning Contact: Seth Lorson, 970-416-4320, slorson@fcgov.com Topic: General Comment Number: 1 Comment Originated: 06/16/2020 06/16/2020: According to the South College Corridor Plan (https://www.fcgov.com/planning/south-college.php) a multi-use path (bike/ped) connection needs to be made directly from College Avenue to the South Transit Center. This concrete path should be easily accessible and clearly marked for public and tenant use. RESPONSE: We have provided an east-west Major Walkway Spine through the center of the site. Comment Number: 2 Comment Originated: 06/16/2020 06/16/2020: This proposed development is in the TOD Overlay Zone and can be an excellent example of Transit Oriented Development. The South Transit Center is a major amenity for tenants and the site plan should include a network of sidewalks that filter people to the STC. The one spine connection is a good start and additional connections and connectivity to the main spine should be added. RESPONSE: Several east-west connections are provided as well as numerous walkways connecting to them. Department: Stormwater Engineering Contact: Matt Simpson, (970)416-2754, masimpson@fcgov.com 10 Topic: General Comment Number: 2 Comment Originated: 06/15/2020 06/15/2020: Master plan and criteria compliance (site specific comment): The design of this site must conform to the drainage basin design of the ‘Fossil Creek Basin’ Master Drainage Plan as well the Fort Collins Stormwater Criteria Manual (FCSCM). The stormwater criteria manual is available on our website here: https://www.fcgov.com/utilities/business/builders-and-developers/development-f orms-guidelines-regulations/stormwater-criteria The southern lot on the existing site is part of Weberg PUD development. Information about this development and drainage design can be found Fort Collins’ CityDocs website here: https://citydocs.fcgov.com/? scope=site&dn=Current+Planning&dt=REPORTS&vid=185&q=weberg&cmd= search RESPONSE: Comments Noted. The drainage design will meet the master basin criteria. Comment Number: 3 Comment Originated: 06/15/2020 06/15/2020: Documentation requirements (site specific comment): A drainage report and construction plans are required and 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. RESPONSE: Comment Noted. Comment Number: 4 Comment Originated: 06/15/2020 06/15/2020: Stormwater outfall (site specific comment): The existing site currently drains to the southeast corner where there is an existing (private) 15-inch drainage pipe. The design of this existing system was part of the Weberg PUD development and was only designed to accept flows from Weberg PUD Lot 2. The drainage design for the current proposal will need to determine an adequate and legal drainage outfall. The existing 15-inch pipe may be part of the final drainage design, but drainage easements and agreements will need to be renegotiated with all downstream property owners – this may include improvements to the existing drainage system. Another option for this site is outfall directly to the College Ave curb gutter. Please have your civil engineer review and discuss potential options with Water Utilities Development Review (WaterUtilitiesEng@fcgov.com) as early in the design process as is possible. RESPONSE: Comments Noted. We will work with the referenced entity regarding the existing outfall and off-site easements/agreements. Comment Number: 5 Comment Originated: 06/15/2020 06/15/2020: Detention requirements (site specific comment): 11 Onsite detention is required for the runoff volume difference between the 100-year developed flow rate and the 2-year historic release rate. In the Fossil Creek basin, the 2-year historic release rate is prescribed as 0.2 cfs/acre. Please note that the City has landscaping requirements for stormwater detention ponds. These requirements can be found in the Fort Collins Stormwater Criteria Manual, Chapter 8, Section 3.0 and in Appendix B (Landscape Design Standards and Guidelines for Stormwater and Detention Facilities). RESPONSE: Comments noted. The detention and landscape requirements will be adhered to. Comment Number: 6 Comment Originated: 06/15/2020 06/15/2020: Detention drain times (standard comment): Per Colorado Revised Statute §37-92-602 (8) that became effective August 5, 2015, criteria regarding detention drain time will apply to this project. As part of the drainage design, the engineer will be required to show compliance with this statute using a standard spreadsheet (available on request) that will need to be included in the drainage report. Upon completion of the project, the engineer will also be required to upload the approved spreadsheet onto the Statewide Compliance Portal. This will apply to any volume-based stormwater storage, including extended detention basins. RESPONSE: Comment Noted. The State requirements will be met. Comment Number: 7 Comment Originated: 06/15/2020 06/15/2020: Water Quality and Low Impact Development requirements (standard comment): All new or modified impervious areas require stormwater quality treatment. In addition, the City requires the use of Low Impact Development (LID) methods to treat stormwater quality on all new or redeveloping property, including sites required to be brought into compliance with the Land Use Code. There are two (2) categories of LID requirements; the development will need to meet one of the two following options: 1. LID with Permeable Pavers: When using the permeable pavers option, 50% of the new or modified impervious areas must be treated by LID methods. Of the new or modified paved areas, 25% must be pervious. 2. LID - without Pavers: 75% of all new or modified impervious areas must be treated by LID methods. This typically consists of a rain garden or bioretention system, but other options are allowed. The remainder of the water quality treatment can be accomplished ‘standard’ or LID water quality methods. Accepted methods are described in the Fort Collins Stormwater Criteria Manual (FCSCM), Chapter 7: http://www.fcgov.com/utilities/business/builders-and-developers/development-fo rms-guidelines-regulations/stormwater-criteria RESPONSE: Comments Noted. The required LID treatment will be provided as design develops. This may take the form of bioretention, Stormtech system, or a combination thereof. Comment Number: 8 Comment Originated: 06/15/2020 12 06/15/2020: Erosion control requirements (standard comment): The erosion control report requirements are in Chapter 2, Section 6 of the Fort Collins Stormwater Criteria Manual (December 2018, www.fcgov.com/erosion). If you need clarification concerning this section, please contact the Erosion Control Inspector, Jesse Schlam at 224-6015 or jschlam@fcgov.com. RESPONSE: Comment Noted. Comment Number: 9 Comment Originated: 06/15/2020 06/15/2020: 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.
