Response: Northern Engineering Response: Black Timber Response: Comment Summary: Department: Engineering Development Review Contact: Dave Betley, 970-221-6573, dbetley@fcgov.com Topic: General Comment Number: 6 Comment Originated: 09/28/2021 09/28/2021: FOR INFORMATION: This comment is just for clarification. Is the access located at the driveways located at the Lady Moon and Ziegler established on Tract A, and overlain by the Fort Collins/Loveland Water District Easement. I believe this was the intent but I want to make sure. Will the Fort Collins/Loveland Water District need to sign the plat? Northern Engineering Response: Yes, that was the intent. Our understanding is that FCLWD does not need to sign the Plat if they sign/approve the Utility plans.

Department: Building Services Contact: Katy Hand, khand@fcgov.com Topic: Building Insp Plan Review Comment Number: 1 Comment Originated: 09/13/2021 09/13/2021: INFORMATIONAL: The mixed use unit must be built under the current International Building Code The other units that are separated with property lines can be designed/built under the International Residential Code. Black Timber Response: Understood Comment Number: 2 Comment Originated: 09/13/2021 09/13/2021: RECOMMENDATION: Plan and size water lines and fire lines accordingly: Units built under the IRC must be fire sprinkled with a P2904 system. The mixed use unit in building #2 will need to be fire sprinkled in accordance with chapter 9 of the International Building Code . This means that there will be different sprinkler systems throughout building #2. The mixed use unit may need a separate fire line and riser room. Black Timber Response: We are addressing ths with Building Services and PFA to determine exact requirements Comment Number: 3 Comment Originated: 09/13/2021 09/13/2021: RECOMMENDATION: 1. The mixed use unit in building 2 must be located 10ft from property lines and public ways. Walls closer than 10ft must be fire rated walls with no/few doors and windows in the fire rated wall (International Building Code). ----The north and West walls of the mixed use unit in building 2 is closer than 10ft from the property line. Consider adjusting the property lines or building location to 10ft for that unit. 2. Attached single-family provide 3ft setback from the furthest projecting element to property line/public way. Less than 3ft requires fire rated walls with no/few doors and windows in the rated wall/s (International Residential Code). Black Timber Response: This has been resolved through further clarification and discussion with Building Services. No moving of the buildings or the lot lines is necessary.

Department: Erosion Control Contact: Basil Hamdan, 970-222-1801, bhamdan@fcgov.com Topic: Erosion Control Comment Number: 1 Comment Originated: 09/02/2021 09/23/2021: FOR FINAL [UPDATED]: All Erosion and Sediment Control on this site comments have been addressed, thank you. Northern Engineering Response: Acknowledged. Comment Number: 2 Comment Originated: 09/02/2021 09/02/2021: INFORMATION ONLY: 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 6 lots, 2.66 acres of disturbance, 1 years from demo through build out of construction and an additional 3 years till full vegetative stabilization due to seeding. Which results in an Erosion Control Fee estimate of $1435.1. Since no Water Quality or LID facilities are proposed there is no Water Quality Inspection Fee. Please note that as the plans and any subsequent review modifications of the above-mentioned values change the fees may need to be modified. I have provided a copy of the spreadsheet used to arrive at these estimates for you to 7 review.
