Comment Number: 4 05/04/2021: INFORMATION: Temporary Service Changes ‑ City of Fort Collins Development Review In order to continue providing thorough reviews and giving every project the attention it deserves, the City of Fort Collins is implementing temporary changes in how we serve our development customers. As you may be aware, we are experiencing staff shortages in a number of key departments, which has begun to impact the timeliness of our reviews. We recognize that development and construction play a critical role in our community’s vibrancy and economic recovery, and we have been exploring options for mitigating impacts to our customers. As a result, we will be making some temporary service changes. Beginning Monday April 12 one additional week of review time will be added to all 1st and 2nd round submittals (increase from 3 weeks to 4 weeks). Comment Number: 5 05/04/2021: INFORMATION: LUC 2.211 Lapse, Rounds of Review: Applicants, within one hundred eighty (180) days of receipt of written comments and notice to respond from the City on any submittal (or subsequent revision to a submittal) of an application for approval of a development plan, shall file such additional or revised submittal documents as are necessary to address such comments from the City. If the additional submittal information or revised submittal is not filed within said period of time, the development application shall automatically lapse and become null and void. Comment Number: 6 05/04/2021: FOR FINAL APPROVAL: All "For Final Approval / For Approval" comments need to be addressed and resolved prior to moving forward with the final documents and recording of this project.

Department: Technical Services Contact: Jeff County, 970‑221‑6588, jcounty@fcgov.com Topic: Plat Comment Number: 1 07/02/2021: FOR FINAL APPROVAL ‑ UNRESOLVED: Please make changes as marked. If changes are not made or you disagree with comments, please provide written response of why corrections were not made. Please provide any responses on redlined sheets and/or in response letter. Specifically needing addressed: The lienholder was removed from the Plat. Does this connote that there is no longer a lienholder on the property? Both properties were purchased with cash. There is no lienholder on either property. In my discussion with John Von Nieda he said to delete the lienholder section if there is no lienholder. Reference his email dated 5/28/21, Brandy Bethurem Harras and others were copied. This was discussed with Chris DePaulis at King Surveyors in conjunction with the updated title work and the lienholder section was removed. Please provide the effective date of the title work. The effective date of the title work was updated on the plat that is attached. 05/17/2021: FOR FINAL APPROVAL: Please make changes as marked. If changes are not made or you disagree with comments, please provide written response of why corrections were not made. Please provide any responses on redlined sheets and/or in response letter. Department: Outside Agencies Contact: Megan Harrity, Larimer County Office of the Assessor, 970‑498‑7065, mharrity@larimer.org, Topic: General Comment Number: 1 06/29/2021: FOR FINAL APPROVAL: Regarding the sub title of the plat: Since the plat has been updated to become two separate lots, the subtitle does not need to include, "A Lot Merger" of... The subtitle is correct, the outline of the two lots being merged into one was included on the plat in error. The attached revised plat shows one lot which is being merged from two. Department: Historic Preservation Contact: Maren Bzdek, 970‑221‑6206, mbzdek@fcgov.com Topic: General Comment Number: 1 05/18/2021: FOR INFORMATION ONLY: Your project narrative indicates the replat is proposed in order to build an addition on 831 W Olive and demolition of the residence at 308 S Washington. The City has a required demolition noticing process that applies to all proposed single‑family residence demolitions for buildings more than 50 years old. That process is outlined at https://www.fcgov.com/historicpreservation/demolition‑review and begins upon submittal of preliminary plans for the addition. Demolition notification provides an opportunity to ensure important historic, architectural, and cultural resources are not lost without consideration, pursuant to Section 14‑6 of the Municipal Code. This process provides for consideration of a property over fifty years of age proposed for demolition, and an opportunity for community members to receive notice about that demolition and take action to protect the property through designation, as provided by City Code. Department: Engineering Development Review Contact: Spencer Smith, 970‑221‑6603, smsmith@fcgov.com Topic: General Comment Number: 2 07/06/2021: UPDATED - FOR BUILDING PERMIT: If the only public improvement will be the removal of the access to Washington Ave., we will not need to review utility plans. The work will require a permit from the Engineering Inspections department, however. Please work with them to obtain the necessary permitting prior to commencing this work. 05/17/2021: FOR APPROVAL: The City will require that one of the existing drive access points will need to be removed. The City would prefer that the S. Washington St. access be removed. The existing access point that remains will need to be reconstructed to meet LCUASS if it does not already. Same for any existing sidewalk that does not meet current LCUASS or ADA standards.
