Permitted Use (APU). The decision maker for Type 2 is the Planning and
Zoning Board. Staff would need to be in agreement the project is ready for
Hearing approximately 3‑5 weeks prior to the hearing.

05/21/2021: INFORMATION ONLY:
The response indicated that the applicant contacted the ditch company and informed them that
the site layout was revised but nothing has changed related to stormwater release. It would seem
that the ditch should respond indicating/acknowledging that the site layout changed and had no
objection to hearing. Did they ever definitely reply?
Melissa Buick from Lake Canal Company replied on August 5, 2021, emailed correspondence to Staff.
03/23/2021: INFORMATION ONLY:
The response references a fully signed agreement to allow discharge of
drainage water into the Lake Canal Ditch. Curiously the agreement was signed
in 2019 before the project was formally submitted to the City and references that
the ditch company approved the current plans dated March 7, 2018. We should
still have some sort of updated correspondence from Lake Canal
acknowledging plans that have been submitted to the City.
10/20/2020: FOR HEARING: NOTED, APPROVAL & SIGNATURE REQUIRED..
Correspondence from Lake Canal on the design of the project should be
provided as part of a letter of intent prior to any hearing for the project. Their
signature and approval block should be on the cover sheet of the civil plan set.
Their signature would be needed on the plat as well with the dedication of
easements and rights‑of‑way to the City as part of the City's attorney
certification requirements. (Note that the plat is indicating an easement
dedicated to the Lake Canal but this is not being clearly indicated?)

This project will be required to contribute a proportional contribution towards the
Timberline and Vine Capital project that currently is not fully funded. We will
work to determine the impact from this development and the expected fee in lieu.

Striping Changes. Please add the 8-inch turn lane line for the northbound left
turn and a second left turn arrow. Item 5 in the Striping Legend should be a 6
inch line. Remove the Only from the southbound right turn and remove the
diagonal striping in the area between the right turn lane and the bike lane. The
right turn lane lines will need to be 8-inch white lines.
Revisions have been made to the street plan and profile drawings to address these comments.

The submitted plans meet the standards for Erosion and Sediment Control for a
preliminary submittal. Thank you. At Final submittal (FDP), please provide an
Erosion Control Report and an erosion control security escrow calculation.
The City Manager’s development review fee schedule under City Code 7.5‑2
was updated to include fees for Erosion Control and Stormwater Inspections.
As of January 1st, 2021, these fees will be collected on all projects for such inspections.
The Erosion Control fees are based on; the number of lots, the total site
disturbance, the estimated number of years the project will be active and the
Stormwater Inspection Fees are based on the number of LID/WQ Features that
are designed for on this project. Based on the proposed site construction
associated with this project we are assuming 1 lot, 1.25 acres of disturbance, 1
year from demo through build out of construction and an additional 2 years till full
vegetative stabilization due to seeding. Which results in an Erosion Control Fee estimate of $ 1,172.09
Based on 1 bioretention/rain garden and 1 extended detention basins, the
estimate of the Stormwater LID/WQ Inspection fee is $ 565.00
I have provided a copy of the spreadsheet used to arrive at these estimates for your review.
These fees will need to be paid when the Erosion Control Security escrow is provided.
10/15/2020: FOR FINAL PLAN: NOTED.
The site disturbance exceeds 1 acre in size. This will trigger the need for a
State Construction Dewatering Permit to be applied for and issued by the state
prior to commencing construction on the site.
Thank you for submitting a Stormwater Management Plan and report.
Please use the updated Construction Control Measures notes for the City of
Fort Collins these can be found at the following link:

Language for the Natural Resources section of the Development Agreement will
be provided to Engineering. The following items must be submitted prior to the
recording of the Development Agreement:
1. A cost estimate for landscaping in the Natural Habitat Buffer Zone (including
plant material, labor and irrigation)
2. A cost estimate for three years of monitoring and annual reporting of
landscape establishment in the Natural Habitat Buffer Zone
3. An annual monitoring and reporting plan
I can provide examples and additional detail for any of these items if needed.
Please contact me if you have any questions. A bond, letter of credit, or escrow
warranting the landscape installation, establishment, monitoring, and reporting
for the Natural Habitat Buffer Zone (125% of cost estimates) will be required
prior to issuance of a Development Construction Permit.

05/18/2021: FOR HEARING:
Some rearranging of NHBZ border and square footage would be advantageous
on this project. As depicted on the current plans, a significant amount of paved
area intrudes into the NHBZ. But if the NHBZ border is shifted to the edge of
the pavement and then broadened to include more of the detention pond areas,
the appropriate square footage will be maintained without a use that is typically
not allowed in NHBZs. This would also minimize the amount of light spillage in
to the NHBZ at the western edge of the drive through aisle.
The limits of the NHBZ have been revised to include the rain garden and stormwater detention pond.

Please see attached for ELCO notes on this project. We feel we need additional time to review
the impacts to our existing line(s) and the potential to relocate/replace some of them while this
project is constructing/disturbing the area. We will be doing additional internal review.
Comments contained on the Overall Utility Plan have been addressed. See written responses.
