A portion of the proposed rain garden sits on top of an existing sanitary sewer
main. This will need to be coordinated with the District for acceptance and a
detailed cross-section provided in order to determine clearance and clarify if
any maintenance issues are present.
Response: The District has reviewed our plans and has indicated they are ok with the rain garden
(and bocce court) over their easement provided language is included on the plans that
acknowledges potential impacts to those facilities as a result of maintenance or other district
activities and that any required repairs will be the responsibility of the owner.
Comment Number: 5 Comment Originated: 10/15/2018
10/15/2018: BY HEARING:
It appears as if the rain gardens shown are intended to operate as two distinct
rain gardens but there was no discussion or calculations shown in the Drainage
3
Report. Please include all pertinent LID calculations and a discussion of the LID
concept.
Response: The proposed facility is being viewed as a single facility with culverts connecting the
two halves. The drainage report has been updated to include a discussion of these facilities and the
requested calculations have been added.
Comment Number: 6 Comment Originated: 10/15/2018
10/15/2018: BY HEARING:
As shown, it appears the entire 100-year flow for the developed site is routed
through the proposed rain garden. In order to enhance performance of this
system and alleviate unnecessary future maintenance, please design this
system such that the water quality flows enter the rain garden and the flows from
larger rainfall events bypass the rain garden and are conveyed directly to the
detention pond.
Response: Per discussions with staff, the 100-yr flow will continue to flow through the rain garden.
Comment Number: 7 Comment Originated: 10/15/2018
10/15/2018: BY HEARING:
The existing detention pond was not designed with a water quality component
and does not provide any water quality treatment for this site. Therefore, all of
the proposed onsite improvements will need to be treated by extended
detention or LID prior to being released into the detention pond.
Response: Water quality has been addressed for the project in this submittal. Please see the
report for details.
Comment Number: 9 Comment Originated: 10/15/2018

The riprap rundown from the rain garden should encompass the entire spillway
area.
Response: The rundown for the rain garden now encompasses the entire spillway area. Turf
reinforcement mat is now spec’d for the area.
Comment Number: 10 Comment Originated: 10/15/2018
10/15/2018: BY HEARING:
Many of the proposed buildings are designed with the finished floor lower than
the adjacent sidewalks or curb and gutter, thus needing to incorporate drainage
swales and inlets between the building and adjacent hardscape. Maintenance
with this type of design is a consistent problem and clogging of inlets and
sidewalk chases is common. The best solution would be to alleviate these
situations, but if this is the proposed design moving forward please identify
overflow paths so that runoff has a route to escape these areas before ponding
into the adjacent buildings.
Response: An exhibit showing the overflow paths has been provided.
Comment Number: 11 Comment Originated: 10/15/2018
10/15/2018: FOR FINAL:
Existing inlet capacities will need to be verified to handle any onsite flows being
conveyed to them.
4
Response: The areas draining to the existing inlets as well as the proposed C-values are all less
than the original design, resulting in a decrease of runoff from the approved design. Discussion of
this, along with calculations, are provided in the drainage report.
Comment Number: 12 Comment Originated: 10/15/2018
10/15/2018: BY HEARING:
Please verify plans and Drainage Report for consistency. Some of the numbers
reported in the Drainage Report were different than was shown in the Utility
Plans.
Response: The values in the drainage report and utility plans have been reconciled. If there are
additional issues, please provide more specifics on the discrepancy and we will work to get it
addressed.
Comment Number: 8 Comment Originated: 10/15/2018
10/15/2018: BY HEARING:
It appears as if maintenance access was designed into the western -most rain
garden, but not the eastern one. Please clarify how maintenance access will be
granted to this area.
Response: There is a landscape wall around the entire perimeter that is between 12” and 24” tall.
Paved access to the rain garden is provided around the entire perimeter with easy vehicular access
from the parking area. Per discussions with staff, we understand this configuration to be
acceptable.
Comment Number: 13 Comment Originated: 10/15/2018
10/15/2018: BY HEARING:
It appears there are multiple instances where proposed trees are too close to
the existing storm sewer main along Trilby. Please revise the Landscape Plan
to achieve the minimum 10' separation distance.
Response: Trees were relocated to achieve the minimum separation distance.

It appears 4000K CCT for LED lights are selected for fixture F (qty 8) and for
fixture H (qty 7) and this does not align with City Night Sky Objectives. Is this
intentional? Please have the lighting engineer reach out to myself, directly, to
discuss.
Note: in regard to outdoor 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. For further information regarding health effects please see:

REQUIRED PRIOR TO HEARING
Existing Tree Removal Feasibility Letter
A new requirement, titled “Existing Tree Removal Feasibility Letter” should be
submitted to City Forestry and the Project Planner for review prior to hearing.
Please provide reason for removing 16 trees from the site.
Proposals to remove significant existing trees must provide a justification letter
detailing the reason for tree removal. This is required for all development
projects proposing significant tree removal regardless of the scale of the
project. The purpose of this letter is to provide a document of record with the
project’s approval and for the City to maintain a record of all proposed
significant tree removals and justifications. Existing significant trees within the
project’s Limits of Disturbance (LOD) and within natural area buffer zones shall
be preserved to the extent reasonably feasible. Streets, buildings and lot layouts
shall be designed to minimize the disturbance to significant existing trees.
(Extent reasonably feasible shall mean that, under the circumstances,
reasonable efforts have been undertaken to comply with the regulation, that the
costs of compliance clearly outweigh the potential benefits to the public or would
unreasonably burden the proposed project, and reasonable steps have been
undertaken to minimize any potential harm or adverse impacts resulting from
noncompliance with the regulation.) Where it is not feasible to protect and retain
significant existing tree(s) or to transplant them to another on -site location, the
applicant shall replace such tree(s) according to City mitigation requirements.
Response: An Existing Tree Removal Feasibility Letter is included with this submittal.

City of Fort Collins Forestry Division is close to reaching the maximum
percentage of Honeylocust in Fort Collins’ urban forest. During the development
review process, we see it as an opportune time to educate lands cape
architects to use fewer Honeylocust on landscape plans. In place of the 7
proposed Honeylocust on the plans, please use a few of the following Elm or
Oak species:
Elm species we prefer: Accolade, New Horizon, David, Discovery (type of
David). Stay away from Frontier Elm and other cultivars as they are susceptible
to European Elm Scale.
Oak Species we prefer: Heritage Oak (cross between Bur and English), straight
English Oak, fastigiate English Oak, Texas Red, Shumard, Chinkapin. Stay
away from Swamp White Oak, White Oak, and Northern Red Oak as they need
more acidic soils than we have in Fort Collins.
Response: Honeylocust were replaced with recommended alternatives.

1.Prior to hearing, the following information must be provided with the project
plans for review and approval:
a. Trash and recycling enclosure details are required and must be incorporated
into the project plan set. Trash enclosure details must show each trash and
recycling enclosures proposed, in plan view and elevation view. Enclosure
elevations must be provided for all exterior sides of enclosures.
b. Trash enclosure plan and elevation details must be drawn separately from the
site plan, at a scale that is sufficient to provide clear and complete information
that is easily understandable as a reference document for the public hearing.
Typically a separate plan detail and elevation detail at an enlarged architectural
scale is necessary to provide sufficient information and to emphasize the
design intent and requirements prominently in the plans. It is recommended that
these details be grouped together in the planning set along with other site
details.
c. Plan details shall include direct labeling, dimensions and notations that
illustrate sufficient access, circulation and function of the enclosures for both
residents/employees and service providers. Plan details shall label and
dimension the overall enclosure area, widths of service gates, size of interior
circulation areas to be provided for interior access, required pedestrian
entrance, overall size of all proposed trash and recycling containers and their
capacity.
d. Elevations and plan details shall graphically show materials and textures, and
directly label all design components and shall clarify all materials, patterns,
colors, textures and general specifications as well as all functional components
such as drains, bollards, curbs and ramps. Elevations shall also describe wall
and door construction including recessed and projected material patterns, base
and top treatments and other design features. Include labeling, detail
enlargements and cross sections if needed to adequately describe the depth of
materials and construction intent.
2. Prior to final plan approval, additional plan, elevation and capacity
information may be required with Final Plan review to clarify the adequate
function, construction and final design intent of the trash and recycling areas.
Response: An enlarged plan view of the trash enclosure is now shown on the site plan. Trash
enclosure elevations are shown on the architecture pages.
Response: The dumpster screen walls have been modified for the new receptacle count and to
meet City criteria for their structure. The building elevations have been modified as well as a plan
for their layout and size has been added to the site plan.

10/08/2018: The proposed location and distribution of the trash and recycling
enclosures will require refinement for future rounds. Currently the enclosure
located near building A will likely only serve it's units and potentially half the units
of building B (7 units total). The enclosure located near building F will likely only
service that building (8 units total). The final enclosure will likely service
14
Buildings E, D, C and half of B (28 units total). Consider making that enclosure
larger to account for the additional users or place more enclosure adjacent to
those buildings. Additionally, the location of the enclosure in front of Building F
is not conducive to an easy flow path for haulers. Consider locating all the
enclosures along the emergency access route which provides better turn radii
and would provide an easier service route without having to back track.
Response: The west enclosure was relocated to provide easier access to Building B. Buildings A, B
and F will be required to use the west trash enclosure and Buildings C, D and E will be required to
use the east trash enclosure. All trash enclosures are now located along the EAE to provide an
easier service route.

10/08/2018: Will residents be responsible for taking all trash and recycling to
the enclosure themselves or will any form of valet collection service be
provided?
Response: A valet collection service will not be provided.

ACCESS
Access is required to within 150f of all portions of the external perimeter of each
building as discussed in the CDR. Trilby Road is classified as an arterial street
so cannot be used for this measurement. Each building generally meets this
requirement except for the building in the northeast corner which is 115ft out of
compliance with this required measurement. However, because the building will
be designed with a Full 13 Fire Sprinkler Systems it will be considered in
compliance and no further action is needed.
Response: Acknowledged. Turning exhibit provided.
