Service Changes City of Fort Collins Development ReviewIn 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 ourcustomers. 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).Noted Thank You.Comment Number: 6 Comment Originated: 11/09/202111/09/2021: INFORMATION:Development

is incorrect. Please use a correct scale.Updated with correct scale.Comment Number: 2 Comment Originated: 11/05/202111/05/2021: FOR FINAL APPROVAL:Please discuss the proposed
grading along the property lines. There appear to be several steep grade breaks. See redlines on Sheet C2.0 of the utility plans for particular locations. Based on the soil report, there
may be sandstone or siltstone under a few feet of clay throughout the site. Will the steep slopes require erosion control measures?No, thank youComment Number: 4 Comment Originated:
11/08/202111/08/2021: FOR FINAL APPROVAL:On the Development Agreement (DA) Information form, you have indicated that there will eventually be a lender for this project. The lender
information will need to be included in the DA in order to finalize the plans and sign the DA.
We will make sure the lender is aware of this requirement and keep you posted on the status of the lender.Comment Number: 5 Comment Originated: 11/08/202111/08/2021: INFORMATION
ONLY REVISED:This development will construct a detached sidewalk along College Avenue. Since CDOT intends to eventually widen College Avenue to three lanes in each direction, the sidewalk
constructed by this development will not be in the ultimate vertical location. As a result, the sidewalk construction is not eligible for reimbursement by the City. However, if the applicant
would like to create a design for the ultimate College Avenue widening and grading, then the sidewalk could be installed in the ultimate location and could be eligible for reimbursement.
This sidewalk would be 8 feet instead of the 7 feet currently shown.
Noted, thank youComment Number: 6 Comment Originated: 11/08/202111/08/2021: FOR FINAL APPROVAL:The landscape plan for College Avenue shows trees being planted. If the applicant
is not going to design the ultimate crosssection for the widened College Avenue, then the trees should not be planted at this time, since the eventual regrading will damage the trees.
However, if the applicant chooses to design the ultimate crosssection, trees should be placed in the ultimate location along with this development.
Noted, thank youComment Number: 7 Comment Originated: 11/10/202111/10/2021: INFORMATION ONLY NEW COMMENT:If the developer chooses to design and construct the ultimate sidewalk,
the developer should consider creating a reimbursement agreement so that any new development on Outlot B of the South College Storage subdivision would be required to reimburse the developer
for part of the cost of the frontage improvements.

Please see utility plan redlines on signing and striping sheets for signing and striping comments.11/08/2021: Our Traffic Operations team will take a closer look at the signing and
striping plans and provide comments prior to a resubmittal. We did not have the meeting this week where we would normally review, so I will follow up on this with our plan review meeting
next week and provide any comments when I have them.Signage and striping was updated per redlines.Comment Number: 3 Comment Originated: 11/08/202111/08/2021: FOR FINAL APPROVALThis
comment was made during the PDP review. I want to include in the FDP as a reminder:CDOT has provided a review and comments back. They are indicating that no changes are needed along
College (their jurisdiction) and that an access permit for change in use will be needed at Skyway. That can be completed at final.Comment Number: 4 Comment Originated: 11/08/202111/08/2021:
FOR FINAL APPROVALThis comment was made during the PDP review. I want to include in the FDP as a reminder:Prior review comments indicated that the northern access drive that is close
to Skyway does not meet driveway spacing standards, that a variance needs to be requested, and that the variance is conditioned that in the future it could be restricted to a rightin,
rightout. That should be noted on the plans, the variance request, and in the DA.Added note to the general notes and to the signage and striping.Department: Erosion ControlContact:
Basil Hamdan, 9702221801, bhamdan@fcgov.comTopic: Erosion ControlComment Number: 1 Comment Originated: 11/03/202111/03/2021: INFORMATION ONLY:Based upon the area of
disturbance cause by this project State permits for Construction Dewatering discharge are required and should be obtained from the State prior to commencement of Construction Activities
on the site.The City Manager’s development review fee schedule under City Code 7.52 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, 4.9 acres of disturbance, 2 years from demo through build out of construction and an additional 3 years 'til full vegetative stabilization
occurs due to seeding. Which results in an Erosion Control Fee estimate of $1,974.06Based on 1 extended detention basins, and underground treatment facility the estimate for the Stormwater
LID/WQ Inspection fee to be $ 665.Please note that as the plans and any subsequent review modifications of the abovementioned values change the fees may need to be modified. I have provided
a copy of the spreadsheet used to arrive at these estimates for your to review.Comment Number: 2 Comment Originated: 11/03/202111/03/2021: FOR FINAL APPROVAL:Please address

GeneralComment Number: 3 Comment Originated: 11/08/202111/08/2021: FOR FINAL APPROVAL:Along the north side of the detention pond and just north of the retaining wall, Colorado
Blue Spruces are shown on the Landscape Plan. It appears they are being planted almost on top of the retaining wall and this may be to provide more space away from the sidewalk. This
large of a tree planted this close to a 5foot high retaining wall will not be sustainable long term and most likely will damage the wall and negatively effect the trees. A possibly
narrower evergreen is a better option for this location.Comment Number: 4 Comment Originated: 11/08/202111/08/2021: FOR FINAL APPROVAL: Reminder for next round.Comment Number:
