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).

08/20/2021: FOR FINAL APPROVAL:
Water quality treatment is required for the entire site, and this requirement is not
sufficiently being met. Prior to Hearing, it was agreed that additional rain
gardens would be included along the northern part of the site to treat the
northern buildings ‑ this was shown in a submittal dated 12/06/2018. Those rain
gardens are not included in this design, and additional water quality treatment is
needed for the site.
Northern Response: We thought the rain gardens were providing LID treatment only and removed them since we were exceeding that requirement. The three rain gardens along the north were
added back into the plan set per the City’s comment

08/20/2021: FOR FINAL APPROVAL:
Please review plans for landscape‑utility separations listed on Sheet 8 in the
Landscape Plans and ensure that separations are being met, particularly with
respect to the existing storm sewer along Trilby.
Ripley Response:
I appreciate the gas and electric layout exhibit as well as showing these utilities
on the Utility Plans. There are discrepancies between what is shown in these
locations, specifically with the exhibit which shows gas in conflict with storm
sewer. Which alignment will be used and has this alignment been approved by
the gas provider?0
Northern Response: The utility plans will take precedence over any exhibits. The dry utility companies (gas, electric, telecommunication) prefer to design their own alignment during
construction, and the provided alignments for the dry utilities shown on the utility plans are for reference only. We coordinated the alignments as depicted with the respective utility
companies as feasibly possible, but the actual alignments may vary during construction.

Overall, there are questions about the design presented in this submittal versus
the design approved to go to Hearing. Key last minute additions were not
included in this submittal, and those additions were needed to meet Stormwater
requirements for the project.
Please see redlines for questions and information regarding both the previous
comments and other more minor details. I encourage you to reach out with any
questions or to review potential revisions, and I’d be happy to set up a meeting
or conference call to do so.

As is standard for projects with Natural Habitat Buffer Zones, additional
planning is needed to ensure adequate revegetation with native seed mix(es),
weed management, etc. Particularly, 1) please include the standard 'Native
Seed Mix Notes' on the Landscape Plan (see below), and 2) provide a weed
management plan either as a separate document or included on the Landscape
Plan that addresses weed control practices before, during, and after construction.
NATIVE SEED MIX NOTES
1. THE TIME OF YEAR SEEDING IS TO OCCUR SHOULD BE OCTOBER
THROUGH EARLY MAY.
2. PREPARE SOIL AS NECESSARY AND APPROPRIATE FOR NATIVE
SEED MIX SPECIES THROUGH LOOSENING AND ADDITION OF
AMENDMENTS THAT PROMOTE WATER ABSORPTION AND RELEASE,
THEN SEED IN TWO DIRECTIONS TO DISTRIBUTE SEED EVENLY OVER
ENTIRE AREA. DRILL SEED ALL INDICATED AREAS AS SOON AS
POSSIBLE AFTER COMPLETION OF GRADING OPERATIONS.
3. IF CHANGES ARE TO BE MADE TO SEED MIX BASED ON SITE
CONDITIONS THEN APPROVAL MUST BE PROVIDED BY CITY
ENVIRONMENTAL PLANNER.
4. APPROPRIATE NATIVE SEEDING EQUIPMENT WILL BE USED
(STANDARD TURF SEEDING EQUIPMENT OR AGRICULTURE EQUIPMENT
SHALL NOT BE USED).
5. DRILL SEED APPLICATION RECOMMENDED PER SPECIFIED
APPLICATION RATE TO NO MORE THAN ½ INCH DEPTH. FOR
BROADCAST SEEDING INSTEAD OF DRILL SEEDING METHOD DOUBLE
SPECIFIED APPLICATION RATE. REFER TO NATIVE SEED MIX TABLE
FOR SPECIES, PERCENTAGES AND APPLICATION RATES.
6. PREPARE A WEED MANAGEMENT PLAN TO ENSURE THAT WEEDS
ARE PROPERLY MANAGED BEFORE, DURING AND AFTER SEEDING
ACTIVITIES.
7. AFTER SEEDING THE AREA SHALL BE COVERED WITH CRIMPED
STRAW, JUTE MESH, OR OTHER APPROPRIATE METHODS.
8. WHERE NEEDED, TEMPORARY IRRIGATION SHOULD BE PROVIDED
UNTIL SEED IS GERMINATED THEN WEEN THE SEED FROM IRRIGATION.
IF IRRIGATION IS USED, THE IRRIGATION SYSTEM FOR SEEDED AREAS
SHALL BE FULLY OPERATIONAL AT THE TIME OF SEEDING AND SHALL
ENSURE 100% HEAD‑TO‑HEAD COVERAGE OVER ALL SEEDED AREAS.
ALL METHODS AND REQUIREMENTS IN THE APPROVED IRRIGATION
PLAN SHALL BE FOLLOWED.
9. CONTRACTOR SHALL MONITOR SEEDED AREA FOR PROPER
IRRIGATION, EROSION CONTROL, GERMINATION AND RESEEDING AS
NEEDED TO ESTABLISH COVER.
10. THE APPROVED NATIVE SEED MIX AREA IS INTENDED TO BE
MAINTAINED IN A NATURAL LIKE LANDSCAPE AESTHETIC. DO NOT
MOW DURING HOT, DRY PERIODS. DO NOT MOW LOWER THAN 6 TO 8
INCHES IN HEIGHT TO AVOID INHIBITING NATIVE PLANT GROWTH.
11. NATIVE SEED AREA WILL BE CONSIDERED ESTABLISHED WHEN
SEVENTY PERCENT VEGETATIVE COVER IS REACHED WITH LESS
THAN TEN PERCENT OF COVER CONSISTING OF NOXIOUS WEEDS, NO
BARE SPOTS LARGER THAN ONE FOOT SQUARE, AND/OR UNTIL
DEEMED ESTABLISHED BY CITY PLANNING SERVICES AND EROSION
CONTROL.
12. THE DEVELOPER AND/OR LANDSCAPE CONTRACTOR IS
RESPONSIBLE FOR ADEQUATE SEEDLING COVERAGE AND GROWTH
AT THE TIME OF FINAL STABILIZATION, AS DEFINED BY STATE AND
LOCAL AGENCIES. IF FINAL STABILIZATION IS NOT ACHIEVED TO THE
SATISFACTION OF THE AGENCY, THE DEVELOPER AND/OR
LANDSCAPE CONTRACTOR SHALL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ADDITIONAL
CORRECTIVE MEASURES TO SATISFY FINAL VEGETATIVE
REQUIREMENTS FOR CLOSEOUT.

Language regarding the protection and enhancement of the Natural Habitat
Buffer Zone (NHBZ) will be included in the Development Agreement for this
project. A security will need to be provided prior to the issuance of a
Development Construction Permit (DCP) that accounts for the installation and
establishment of the NHBZ. Prior to the FDP approval please provide an
estimate of the landscaping costs for the NHBZ, including materials, labor,
irrigation, and three years of monitoring and weed mitigation. We will then use
the approved estimate to collect a security (bond or escrow) at 125% of the total
amount prior to the issuance of a Development Construction Permit.
If a DCP is not required for this project, then it will be necessary to tie the
security to the building permits.

Topic: Erosion Control
Comment Number: 1 Comment Originated: 08/19/2021
08/19/2021: INFORMATION ONLY:
This project is located within the City's MS4 boundaries and is subject to the
erosion control requirements located in the Stormwater Design Criteria,
Chapter 2, Section 6.0. A copy of those requirements can be found at www.fcgov.com/erosion
Based upon the supplied materials, site disturbs more than 10,000 sq. ft. and/or
meets one of the other triggering criteria (sensitive area, steep slopes, or larger
common development) that would require Erosion and Sediment Control
Materials to be submitted. The submitted erosion control report is pretty generic
and does not mean the intent of the stormwater criteria.
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, 4.87 acres of disturbance, 2 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 $2,107.72
Based on 1 of bioretention and 1 of extended detention basins, the estimate of
the Stormwater LID/WQ Inspection fee is $565.
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 review.
FOR FINAL APPROVAL:
Please submit an Erosion Control Plans to meet City Criteria (FCDCM Ch 2 Section 6.1.3)
Northern Response: Erosion control plans are included as part of the Utility Plans.
Please submit an Erosion Control Escrow / Security Calculation based upon the
accepted Erosion Control Plans to meet City Criteria. (FCDCM Ch 2 Section 6.1.5)
Northern Response: Erosion Control Escrow / Security Calculations was updated based on the revised Erosion Control Report.
The submitted Erosion Control Report seems preliminary in nature and does
not sufficiently address the specifics of this site please provide a report that
complies with City criteria. The form report submitted does not meet the intent
or the requirements of the stormwater criteria. If a non‑specific preliminary
report is submitted again the FDP submittal will be rejected.
Northern Response: After discussion with the City, the Erosion Control Report was updated to include the requested information.
Please address all redlined comments provided on the plans and provide an
updated erosion control security deposit cost estimate based on the revised
plans. Please provide an erosion control estimate calculation.
Northern Response: Redlines updated per City comments.
