Please follow the Electronic Submittal Requirements and File Naming
Standards found at https://www.fcgov.com/developmentreview/files/electronic
submittal requirements and file naming standards_v1_8 1 19.pdf?1566857888.
File names should begin with the file type, followed by the project information,
and round number.
Example: UTILITY PLANS_PROJECT NAME_PDP_Rd2.pdf
File type acronyms maybe appropriate to avoid extremely long file names.
Example: TIS for Traffic Impact Study, ECS for Ecological Characterization Study.

09/02/2021: INFORMATION:
All plans should be saved as optimized/flattened PDFs to reduce file size and
remove layers.
Per the Electronic Submittal Requirements AutoCAD SHX attributes need to be
removed from the PDF’s.
AutoCAD turns drawing text into comments that appear in the PDF plan set,
and these must be removed prior to submittal as they can cause issues with the
PDF file. The default setting is "1" ("on") in AutoCAD. To change the setting
and remove this feature, type "EPDFSHX" in the command line and enter "0".

Carried over pending Jin's review of the updated structural sheets.
11/16/2021: FOR FINAL APPROVAL:
The structural plans were reviewed by Jin Wang, Engineering's structural
engineer. We're suggesting a meeting with the applicant's engineer and
structural engineer to discuss aspects of the design.
There a couple of aspects of the design that ahead of the structural design itself is of concern:
There needs to be a bridge railing/parapet wall implemented that isn't indicated
on the plans, in accordance with Figure 1108 in LCUASS (page 8 of the following link:
https://www.larimer.org/sites/default/files/uploads/2021/1101‑1422_1.pdf)
The structure itself is abutting the back of sidewalk around the radius at the
intersection. The parapet and railing would be up against the sidewalk and is of
concern. There needs to be 2 feet of separation from the back of walk to the
parapet wall and railing per Figure 16‑1 of LCUASS. Perhaps this can be
achieved in altering the sidewalk design around the curve as shown within the redlines.

01/04/2022: FOR FINAL APPROVAL/INFORMATION ‑ UNRESOLVED:
The structural sheets have the City's (older) utility plan approval block on the
individual sheets. It would suffice to only have the singular approval block on the
cover sheet of the overall set and no approval blocks on the structural sheets. If
there's a premise that the structural sheets are its own set, we can also just have
the updated approval block on the first sheet only.
11/16/2021: FOR FINAL APPROVAL:
The City's adopted on its civil/utility plan set an updated approval block that
would only be used on the cover sheet and the depicted utility plan approval
block can then be removed on all the sheets. This detail to use on the cover
sheet is linked below.

We are currently working with the City Attorneys office with regard to language
that we will want added to the Site Plan and the Development Agreement to
indicate that it will be the responsibility of the property owner to mitigate any
safety or operational issues that arise with the possible stacking of vehicles
onto a City street from the proposed drive thru. Once we have this coordinated
we will provide that for you.

01/03/2022: FOR FINAL APPROVAL REVISED:
With the change in size of the soil media/aggregate area, the perforated portion
of the underdrain pipe needs to be revised as well. Please update the grading,
utility and drainage plan.
11/15/2021: FOR FINAL APPROVAL REVISED:
Please label the transition from perforated to solid pipe is 2 feet from the edge
of aggregate.
09/13/2021: FOR FINAL APPROVAL:
The perforated underdrain needs to be located only within the aggregate layer.
The underdrain needs to be a solid pipe from 2 feet inside the aggregate area
to any section outside of the rain garden aggregate area.
Comment Number: 12
01/03/2022: FOR FINAL APPROVAL:
With the change in size of the soil media/aggregate area, the grading needs to
be adjusted as well. The flat area of the rain garden should only be the section
with the infiltrating soil media. There needs to be a slope to this area or
standing water could occur. This slope is preferred to be 1% if grading allows.

11/15/2021: DCP:
As discussed, the annual maintenance amount provided by the landscaping
contractor will be multiplied by three to have an accurate security estimate for
three years. The total security amount required is 125% of the sum of the NHBZ
installation, maintenance, and monitoring costs, which comes to $85,963.75.
One word of caution ‑ one of the most common culprits for NHBZs not meeting
success criteria is inappropriate maintenance. Typically, maintenance
contractors mow it the same as conventional landscaping areas, thereby
handicapping the native plants and allowing weeds to flourish. Communicating
appropriate management of the NHBZ can't start too early.
