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).

Regarding the public access easement for the pedestrian spine, the redlines
noted that it was added to the plat, however, deliniation could not be found.
RESPONSE: A 35’ wide public access easement is now shown on the plat.

Regarding the loss of trees due to underground detention, please mitigate by
adding additional trees to the detention pond on the southeast portion of the site
and potentially tighten tree spacing wherever possible. Please work with
forestry regarding placement and species selection.
RESPONSE: Trees have been added to the detention pond per the comments from forestry.

11/23/2021: Regarding the underground detention, it appears that the
placement of the system will have significant impact to the placement of trees
along the parking (beyond the dashed outline that is shown on the site and utility
plans). Planning staff does not support an approach that would require removal
of trees in grates.
RESPONSE: The tree wells and storm tech chambers have been adjusted and now meet the separation
requirements.

11/23/2021: for information:
The updated design looks to be resolved, but with a remaining concern with
Transfort that the pedestrian path on the STC property would need to be
concrete.
RESPONSE: The sidewalk along the north Fairway Lane property line and on STC property is now shown
as concrete.
10/04/2021: for approval:
The civil plan should be providing more detail on the work occurring on/around
the South Transit Center property in order to tie into the STC property. The
northern pedestrian path ends at a raised curb, it would seem that in
4
maintaining this pedestrian network as a continuous system that would align
with the pedestrian path on the western side of the parking spaces (and access
ramps to address the grade change should occur) to provide a logical
connection. Input from Transfort indicates that they are OK to the elimination of
the two parking spaces for the applicant to facilitate this. (Is there an existing
tree that isn't depicted that would need to be considered?) With respect to the
southern connection, there appears to be the depiction of a culvert, but no
labelling. Some sort of culvert would appear to be needed as a concrete
channel is present between the two pedestrian connections.
Comment Number: 2 Comment Originated: 10/04/2021
11/23/2021: for approval:
Carried over pending final granting of the easement.
RESPONSE: The revised TCE draft submitted herein and to Keith Hanson is agreeable to the Sponsor.We
are agreeable to the revised legal description provided by the City.
10/04/2021: for approval:
City Real Estate provided an email prior to hearing that serves as a letter of
intent for the willingness to grant a temporary construction easement. The work
to be done on the City property would still need the formal granting of the TCE
and should be coordinated with City Real Estate.
Comment Number: 9 Comment Originated: 10/08/2021
11/23/2021: for approval:
Carried over as unresolved.
RESPONSE: Both the “streetlike private drive” (full width of middle north-south roadway including walks)
and major walkway spine are both shown on the plat as access easements.
10/08/2021: for approval:
Please ensure that the areas that are identified as "street-like private drives" as
well as the major walkway spine bisecting the property are dedicated as access
easements. For the street-like private drives, the full width (including sidewalks)
should be dedicated as access easements.

11/23/2021: for approval:
Coordination with Stormwater on the review of any existing
easements/agreements on the Woodley's property for acceptance of offsite
drainage (and providing the document to the City for review) should occur in
order to verify what additional easement/agreement (if any) is needed. Should a
deed of dedication to the City be required, this would be coordinated through
Engineering as well for review and acceptance.
RESPONSE: The existing storm infrastructure located within the existing easement from the Weburg PUD
does not need to be modified or upsized. We have a signed LOI with Woodleys property owner with
regards to Maintenance of the stormwater infrastructure within the easement and are close to finalizing a
revised Easement and Maintenance Agreement with the owner of the Woodleys parcel.

The status of the potential third party ownership along College Avenue and that
property being neither the developer or right-of-way needs to be resolved prior
5
to final plan approval.
RESPONSE: We have established contact with the third party owner and are preparing a quit-claim deed
to FairColl, LLC so that the parcel can be dedicated as ROW.

12/03/2021: for approval:
There is an existing access easement referenced on the northern boundary of
the site. In looking at the reception number referenced, I'm not finding that this is
an easement. Please double check this reference. Ultimately we're looking to
ensure that the pedestrian path along the northern boundary is in an access
easement dedicated to the City (whether existing or proposed.)
RESPONSE: Currently our understanding is that this access easement was granted to Arbor Properties,
LTD. Fairway ownership is confirming that this is the case and, if so, will contact the third party owner and
prepare a quit-claim deed to FairColl, LLC so that this access easement can be dedicated to the City.

Comment Number: 3 Comment Originated: 11/22/2021
11/22/2021: FOR FINAL APPROVAL
I'm a bit confused on what is proposed for the raised/enhanced pedestrian
crossings within the site. The Plan Notes on sheet 3.0 of the utility plans only
reference a "Raised Pedestrian Crossing". There are several different
pedestrian crossing details included in the plans that are not shown or called out
on the plans. Also, the raised ped. crossing detail is a City of Loveland detail.
Let's make sure that the crossing types are clear on the plans and all necessary
details are included in the detail sheets, with no extraneous ones. Also, I'd like
to discuss the crosswalks shown on either side of the proposed emergency
access lane on the north side of the site. I don't think the City would typically
want to see painted crosswalks here, but it is private property and not
necessarily our determination. If the applicant and/or their consultants want the
6
crosswalk's painted here, that is fine, but I'd like to discuss if they are needed or
not.
RESPONSE: The raised pedestrian crossing is now shown like the raised concrete speed table shown in
the Willow and Pine plans provided to us by the City. The corresponding detail is provided instead of the
LCUASS details and drawn like the one in the same Willow and Pine plans.
Comment Number: 4 Comment Originated: 11/24/2021
11/24/2021: FOR FINAL APPROVAL
The pedestrian spine crosswalks should be designed similar to the one near
the intersection of Willow and Pine, including the signage, etc. I can provide you
with the design drawings from that project. Please contact me to coordinate.
RESPONSE: We have designed the raised walk similar to that shown in the referenced plans. Also see
response to comment No. 3 above.

10/01/2021: 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 building permits onlots,
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 16 building permits, 10.5 acres of disturbance, 1 year 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 $1,887.83.
Based on 1 extended detention basin, and 2 underground treatment systems,
the estimate of the Stormwater LID/WQ Inspection fee is $1,080.
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 your
review.
Comment Number: 2 Comment Originated: 11/18/2021
11/18/2021: FOR FINAL APPROVAL [UPDATED]:
Please address the last comment on the redlined Utility Plans. All remaining
comments and redlines have been addressed.
RESPONSE: The comment to add construction fence has been added to the Erosion Control Plan and
Detail sheets. Also, the escrow has been updated to reflect this change. The erosion control report that
7
includes the escrow calculation has also been updated with the revision.
10/01/2021: FOR FINAL APPROVAL:
Please address all redlines on Erosion Control Plans and report notably the
plans need to protect the neighboring streets and properties better and clarify
plans to show all construction impacts more clearly.
The erosion control security estimate will need to be adjusted as these
comments are addressed.

10/05/2021: FOR FINAL APPROVAL:
The southern LID Stormtech underground water quality system is proposed in a
place that is not possible with all the existing trees that must be preserved. The
site's water quality design, as proposed, is unfeasible as shown, and a
considerable revision to either the method of treatment, or site layout may be
needed to resolve this issue. There does not seam to be another location
where an underground treatment facility can be placed with the current site plan.
RESPONSE: The tree wells and storm tech chambers have been moved to accommodate the required
spacing from utilities.

11/23/2021: Updated: Lights are still shown right on SS in some spots. Have
any discussions happened with South Fort Collins Sanitation with regard to
separation requirements? Please adjust lights as far away as possible and get
confirmation from SFCS. These will need to be breakaway lights with a
concrete base approx..30 inch in diameter and 9 feet deep.
RESPONSE: The District stated a 6’ clear separation is required with 10’ separation preferred. Based on
our conversation with Mr. Irish, we are placing proposed light poles be located off of existing back of curb
to match other lighting along college. Distances from curb vary slightly in order to provide separation from
existing dry utilities near the curb. Per Mr. Irish’s request, we have also provided “potential future light pole
locations” just west of the proposed sidewalk.
10/05/2021: For Final Approval: The proposed streetlights shown along the
College Ave. frontage are not meeting separation requirements from sanitary
sewer. Please relocate the lights so they are not conflicting with any other
utilities. The number and location of lights will approx.. match the existing lights
on the east side of College Ave.

11/23/2021: Updated: Need to make sure the primary routing shown behind the
walk and the streetlights in the parkway are going to be acceptable with existing
utilities.
RESPONSE: The Overall Utility Plan shows the primary routing per the preliminary electric layout provided
in your 11/31/21 email and per our recent meeting. We will continue to work closely with you to coordinate
and finalize the routing prior to obtaining construction permits.
10/05/2021: For Final Approval: Please show an electric running line along the
College Ave. frontage the entire distance of the site meeting all separation
requirements from other utilities.
Comment Number: 5 Comment Originated: 10/05/2021
11/23/2021: Updated: A few of the transformer locations proposed are in

4 there is a transformer and switch cabinet proposed that are in conflict with
proposed trees. Please correct this conflict and make sure there are no other
10
conflicts between the Landscape Plan and the Utility Plan.
RESPONSE: The aforementioned tree has been removed and smaller plantings have been added to
replace the tree. The plans have also been adjusted to avoid any additional landscape and utility conflicts.
10/05/2021: For Final Approval: A few of the proposed transformer locations
appear to not meet separation requirements from storm water. I believe this
would require 6 foot of separation if considered private. Please verify and make
adjustments.

Lets see if we can work together to find a solution.
RESPONSE: Per direction by Mr Irish at our meeting with him, we are now showing the electric line routing
to the north of the garage located to the north of Building 4. We will continue to work closely with you to
coordinate and finalize the routing prior to obtaining construction permits.

track to complying with all of the adopted City codes and Standards. This
should be scheduled when architectural drawings are at least 50% complete.
Be prepared to present site plans, floor plans, and elevations and be able to
discuss code issues of occupancy, square footage, type of construction,
egress, accessibility, and energy compliance.
RESPONSE: This was already conducted.
