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 May 10th one additional week of review time will be added
to all 1st and 2nd round submittals (increase from 3 weeks to 4 weeks).

08/24/2021: for approval:
The site plan seems to indicate conflicting information between sheet 2 and
sheet 4 with respect to an existing Xcel gas line. Sheet 2 indicates the gas line
is to be relocated by Xcel. Sheet 4 indicates an existing gas line is to be
abandoned in place by Xcel. The civil plans don't reference an abandonment in
place and shows a relocation of the gas line. Depending on how coordination is
occurring with Xcel, either Xcel should be signing off on the civil plans, the plat,
and/or provide their acceptance separately before Cty approval. It is presumed
that the vacation of the gas easement is intended to occur as this would seem
to be in conflict with the construction over the easement and it needs to be
confirmed whether this will be done by separate document, or done via plat, and
similarly any new easement dedication Xcel might require. Please ensure all the
plans (including plat) provide the information as to what is occurring with respect
to existing and proposed easements needed for Xcel.
JR Response: The existing gas line will be relocated by Xcel, and the existing Xcell gas easement will remain
until the next gas line is built, at such time the existing gas easement will be vacated by separate document.
Plans updated accordingly.

The plans seem to imply a modification occurring to the existing access ramp at
the southwest corner of the site (northeast corner of Fossil Creek Parkway and
College Avenue). Please clarify what is proposed for the area.
JR Response: The existing access ramp is to remain, plans have been update to show this.

08/24/2021: for approval:
In general, it doesn't appear that minimum cover of 3 feet is being maintained
from the roadway to top of pipe for various sections of storm pipe. We'd want to
explore why this isn't being achieved and what alternatives can be explored
(changing vertical alignment, twin pipes, elliptical, etc.)
JR Response: Addressed, modifications were made to get the most cover over storm pipes. The limited
amount of cover is due to existing design constraints including existing utility crossings and existing
grading/tie in constraints.

08/24/2021: for approval:
Please provide more detail on the grading that is occurring behind the public
sidewalk adjacent to the various pond/wetland areas. There is a general
concern that the sidewalks might abut steep slopes. In general there is a
required 1' of level grade behind the sidewalk before grade changes occur as
part of LCUASS Drawing 701.
JR Response: Addressed. 1’ level grade provided off of sidewalk edge.

08/23/2021: This site does not meet aerial access requirements. A 26 foot
wide dedicated emergency access easement serving as a fire lane shall be
placed on one entire parallel side of the structure. The north side of the building
appears to be the only area that will accommodate this however the plans are
calling for 23 feet. When the project contains site constraints that conflict with
fire code compliance, the intent of the fire code may be met via alternative
means and methods, as approved by the Fire Marshal. As per IFC 104.8 &
104.9, the Fire Marshal may allow this approach when aerial apparatus access
requirements cannot be met on the site plan. A written plan to meet the intent of
the code via alternative means and methods will need to be submitted to the
Fire Marshal for review and approval prior to FDP approval.
JR Response: Addressed. Concrete added to give appropriate width for aerial access.

The site disturbance for this site is over 1 acre in size which would trigger the
submittal of an erosion control report, yet none was provided. If an erosion
control report is not submitted, or if the one submitted does not address the
issues surrounding this sensitive area, with the next round, the submittal will be
rejected.
How much area is going to be disturbed with your project? (please provide a
map outlining the area anticipated to be disturbed along with the calculation of
area to help support this total and for us to understand the project size. [Area of
Disturbance: Total area at the site where any Construction Activity is expected
to result in disturbance of the ground surface. This includes any activity that
could increase the rate of erosion, including but not limited to, clearing, grading,
excavation, and demolition activities, installation of new or improved haul roads
and access roads, staging areas, heavy vehicle traffic areas, stockpiling of fill
materials, and borrow areas].
JR Response: Addressed, approximately 3.5 acres of disturbance

construction area around Fossil Creek.
JR Response: Addressed, concrete washout moved
Please show the outlet pipe as it exits into Fossil Creek and provide erosion
protection (permanent and temporary) at that location. Sensitive Areas: Areas

submitted show that, with low tailwater, these pipes can convey the full 100-yr
flow rate of 141-cfs. As such the inlets should be designed to collect these
flows. (This is a follow up from PDP Comments - Stormwater 48-B) Please
