04/27/2021: FOR APPROVAL:
The plans have been forwarded to Dan for his input and verification. The
preliminary design plans for Laporte don't appear to coincide with what is
shown on the plans as an elevated bike lane along Laporte behind the curb and
gutter is shown. After Dan's review, we may want to have a meeting to discuss
design and timing considerations.
07/14/2020: FOR APPROVAL:
The City has an improvement project for Laporte Avenue that involves this
development's Laporte Avenue frontage. Discussion with Dan Woodward in
Engineering Capital Projects should occur to explore how the plans should
reflect the frontage along Laporte and also whether the construction of this
frontage might be better served to be done by the City (with a payment provided
in-lieu of construction). The timing of the development's anticipated construction
start in comparison to the City is part of the consideration for this.
Response: Per discussions with Tim Sellers and Dan Beltzer we will show a connection with both the existing Laporte (interim
design) and the 30% design (ultimate design)
Comment Number: 3 Comment Originated: 07/14/2020
04/27/2021: FOR APPROVAL:
Carried over as unresolved, understanding that an agreement with an offsite
utility easement along the Stodgy property is being looked at.
07/14/2020: FOR APPROVAL:
The design for Salud Parkway does not maintain a continuous utility easement
corridor along the east side of the roadway. There is a general concern with
how the utility providers are able to extend utility services within the easement
Page 3 of 14
along the east side. Will the applicant be obtaining an offsite utility easement
from Stodgy Brewing, keeping mind that Stodgy Brewing does not appear to
have any property abutting right-of-way for Salud Parkway?
Response: XCEL, Comcast, and Centurylink do not need easement (have emails), variance has been submitted
Comment Number: 5 Comment Originated: 07/14/2020
04/27/2021: FOR APPROVAL:
The update reflecting a ditch easement on the plat addresses much of the
concern. Note that in the Certificate of Dedication on the plat, it's the standard
indication that the "Easements" are dedicated to the City of Fort Collins. I
believe in this dedication statement an exception should be called out indicating
after "and the 'Easements'" something akin to "(with the exception of the 'Ditch
Easement' which is conveyed to Larimer County Canal No. 2 Irrigating
Company)" in order to remove any ambiguity that the Ditch Easement is being
conveyed to the City.
Also, please note that the approval block on the civil plans reflect Larimer and
Weld Irrigation Ditch Company, which I think needs to be changed.
07/14/2020: FOR APPROVAL:
The centerline of Larimer County Canal #2 is depicted on the plat, and would
require that Larimer County Canal #2 sign the plat and civil plans. Typically, it
would seem to be beneficial to establish some sort of limit/easement for the
ditch in order for it to be evident that the proposed development (and
associated easements and rights-of-way) can be established without an
argument made by the ditch company that their prescriptive rights allow them to
impact the site in a manner that prevents the right to develop the property as
approved on the plans. What has been the discussion with the ditch company?
Response: Updated language on the plat to exclude ditch easement. Added ditch company signature block to plans/plat
Comment Number: 6 Comment Originated: 07/14/2020
04/27/2021: Carried over for discussion.
07/14/2020: FOR APPROVAL:
The detention pond at the northwest corner of the overall subdivision plat is
generally within Lot 3. Is there a reason why the pond itself is not in its own
separate tract vs. encumbering Lot 3 which is shown as a future PDP? In
addition, the pond appears to extend east of Lot 3 into Lot 4 but does not
appear to be in a drainage easement. Isn't additional drainage easement
needed on Lot 4?
Response: Detention pond is planned a temporary pond until the Forney Pond is built. We would like to keep the location were the
pond is as a future developable area opposed to a tract.
Comment Number: 7 Comment Originated: 07/14/2020
04/27/2021: FOR APPROVAL:
The revised design with the more standard box culvert is appreciated. The
review of the box culvert design is with Jin Wang and updated comments will be
coordinated and provided. One concern I do see is that there doesn't appear to
be a railing over the bridge. A bicycle railing is required with the roadway having
an adjacent bike lane and would need to be a minimum of 54 inches (11.3.4 of
LCUASS).
Page 4 of 14
07/14/2020: FOR APPROVAL:
The design of the ditch crossing under the new roadway was provided for initial
review to Jin Wang, City Engineering's staff structural engineer and the overall
design is problematic and would need to be redesigned. AAASHTO Load and
Resistance Factor Design should be the design specifications and the use of
an aluminum box culvert would not be allowed as only reinforced concrete and
steel are acceptable per 11.2.3 of LCUASS. A complete design with presumed
structural rebar with a concrete box and wingwalls is needed. Attached
sidewalks are required to be 8 feet. The design engineer should perhaps reach
out to Jin Wang for further details and discussion.
Response: New box culvert designs have been included with this submittal
Comment Number: 9 Comment Originated: 07/14/2020
04/27/2021: FOR APPROVAL:
The response indicated a preference to keep this as approved in the PDP
design, there is still a concern I see in how the temporary turnaround condition is
in conflict with the concrete trail. Perhaps we can explore the portion of the
turnaround with the trail being built with a drive-over curb to have the trail
elevated but still allow for turnaround movements? More discussion is needed.
07/14/2020: FOR APPROVAL:
The temporary turnaround at the end of Salud/Maple appears awkward with a
concrete sidewalk/trail within the temporary turnaround. The ability to turnaround
for vehicles would result in the vehicles running over the sidewalk/trail. Why isn't
the trail designed to not conflict into the vehicular use area? A general overall
concern I see is that it appears highly unlikely for the extension of Salud/Maple
across Lot 5 in the foreseeable future. It would seem to be more appropriate to
have the road terminate as a formal cul-de-sac with asphalt and sidewalk
around the cul-de-sac.
Response: The trail has been adjusted outside of temporary turn -around and signage has been added to separate the trail and turn-
around to prevent crossing. With future development the trail would be removed back to ROW and a crossing added.
Comment Number: 13 Comment Originated: 07/14/2020
04/27/2021: FOR APPROVAL:
Coordinate with Traffic Operations on the striping of the bike lane approaching
the intersection with Laporte.
07/14/2020: FOR APPROVAL:
With Salud being dedicated as a commercial local street, there is typically the
installation of bike lanes on commercial local streets. Why isn't this shown on the
civil plans?
Response: Bike lanes are shown on striping plan
Comment Number: 15 Comment Originated: 04/27/2021
04/27/2021: FOR APPROVAL:
There doesn't appear to be a continuation of the utility easement along Laporte
east of Salud as is shown on the west side of Salud. Please extend this
easement corridor to the western boundary of Stodgy. There is also a 15' utility
easement behind the 12' right-of-way dedication on the Stodgy plat which would
provide some continuity to the easement corridor as a result.
Response: We are unable to get the easement from the Stodgy Property. We have confirmed with the dry utility companies and
believe we only need the easement on the west side of Salud Drive. A variance letter has been included.

Comment Number: 16 Comment Originated: 04/27/2021
04/27/2021: FOR APPROVAL:
The environmental status and previous contamination of the property was not
something I was aware of having inherited the project, and I'm looking for more
information on from the perspective that the City would become the owner of
land (right-of-way) for public street purposes. Additional information is needed
for review with the information provided in the November 2020 report that City
staff was recently made are of and still processing and should be identified in
the most recent Site Characterization Report :
1) Identify with the proposed development what are the areas of City owned
right-of-way and also City maintained infrastructure (utilities, trees, public street)
that coincide with areas of contamination identified in the environmental
compliance completion reports (such as an overlay of the p roposed site
development with areas identified in Page 28 of the November 2020
completion report). We don't believe we have all the known information at this
time to make this determination.
2) How will the proposed development potentially impact an y ongoing
compliance efforts (such as Page 28 of the 11/2020 report delineates a
"photoremediation" zone, which appears to potentially be in proximity to the new
City right-of-way/street. Is this a "phytoremediation zone", and if so, what is it still
ongoing and what is the implication on the loss of vegetation with the development?)
3) A soils report was not found in the electronic documents, it should be provided
for review to understand the recommendations for the construction of the public
street system and whether the report considered the environmental condition.

04/26/2021: FOR FINAL APPROVAL UPDATED:
Continued coordination will need to occur to ensure this project plan
incorporates the same design for LaPorte within the Capital Project. Some
design elements may have changed since your last submittal. The two way left
turn lane will extend through the Stodgy Brewing site and parking will be
removed to the east.
07/06/2020: Please work with the Engineering Department on how this project
aligns with the capital project along LaPorte that didn't exist when you came
through with the PDP.
Response: Per discussions with Tim Sellers and Dan Beltzer we will show a connection to the existing Laporte and to the 30%
design (ultimate)

04/26/2021: FOR FINAL APPROVAL UPDATED:
Thanks for locating the stop signs on the Landscape Plans. There still seem to
be trees within 50 feet that will need to be addressed.
07/06/2020: We'll need more details related to the signing and striping. Also,
please show signs (especially stop signs) on the landscape plans and ensure
that there are no trees within 50 ft on the approach to the stop sign for visibility.

07/06/2020: INFORMATION ONLY:
Will there be a bike/ped connection to Maple street with this project even if the
full roadway is not yet constructed/connected? There was a lot of interest in that
during the PDP a few years ago. Any progress on an adjacent property
easement?
Response: This does not work vertically in the interim. There is a 9-foot drop from existing grade to Maple Street. The easement
exhibit has been created, but still negotiating with property owner.
Comment Number: 4 Comment Originated: 04/26/2021
04/26/2021: FOR FINAL APPROVAL: Further details and design will be
needed in regard to the potential sidewalk and bike lane connecting in to the
trail at the end of Salud Pkwy where the temporary turnaround is proposed.
Response: Trail Location will now go around cul-de-sac in the interim. Sidewalk can be straightened if the road is ever extended
Comment Number: 5 Comment Originated: 04/26/2021
04/26/2021: FOR FINAL APPROVAL:
There is no Striping Legend for the lane markings on the S igning and Striping
Plans indicating color and width of lines. Traffic Singing and Pavement Marking
Notes from page CS2 should also be on the Signing and Striping Pages.
Response: A more detailed legend is included.

04/26/2021: FOR FINAL APPROVAL:
Bike stencils are only needed on Salud as you head north off of LaPorte and at
the very north end for southbound. The two next to the driveway should be
removed from the plans. The crosswalk and stop bar on Salud at LaPorte are
also not needed and should be removed.
Response: Removed bike symbols
Comment Number: 7 Comment Originated: 04/27/2021
04/27/2021: FOR FINAL APPROVAL:
The southbound bike lane as it approaches LaPorte on Salud, should stop 50
feet prior to the intersection and a single skip line should delineate the bike
lane. (Skips should be 8 inches wide, 3 feet long, with an 9 foot gap.)
Response: Updated Striping labels

04/21/2021: For Final:
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 1 lot, 23.16 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 $2,569.07.
Based on 0 number of porous pavers, 3 number of bioretention/level spreaders,
1 number of extended detention basins, 0 number of underground treatments in
an estimate of the Stormwater LID/WQ Inspection fee to be $1,195.00.
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.
Please respond to this comment with any changes to these assumed estimates
and why, so that we may have a final fee estimate ready for this project. The fee
will need to be provided at the time of erosion control escrow.
Ripley Response: Understood.

Development Agreement language will be added to include that Lot 3 will have
limited water service capacity per Developer response letter.
07/10/2020: It is unclear how Lot 3 will be adequately serviced with a looping
system for the water main. A dead end main for service to this area would
place significant limitations on the intensity of future development here.
Response: Acknowledged
Comment Number: 4 Comment Originated: 07/10/2020
04/28/2021: FOR APPROVAL:
The Comment Response Letter stated a sewer stub is being provide to Lot 6,
the plans did not show this. Also, the utility easement dedicated for the future
sewer connection to Lot 5 runs through some trees that are being preserved
and this needs to be coordinated with Forestry do to 1 or more trees may be
removed in the future.
07/10/2020: It is unclear how Lot 6 will be serviced with sanitary sewer. If the
intent is to service this lot from the east, it should be noted that there is a strip of
land at the property boundary that is not right-of way. In order to get sewer
service for Lot 6 from the east, this development would be required to attain
right-of-way or easement across this parcel.
Response: Sanitary Sewer Easement has been modified to avoid trees and provide access for Lot 6. Lot 5 will be provided at th e
north end of the site. An easement can’t be dedicated because the connection wi ll have to be made offsite to get the 90-deg
connection to the main. The proposed pond is temporary and a sewer service will be able to be installed in the future when Fo rney
Pond is constructed

east? The connection point shown does not appear to line up with the existing
water main and it does not appear the existing water main has been stubbed to
the property line. An easement may be needed to connect across the adjacent
parcel in order to make the connection to the existing water main.
Response: Locates have been collected for the watermain to the east and connection updated. The existing water main is not
stubbed to the property line, and we will need to install a tee. An offsite water easement has been included and i s currently being

Larimer County Canal No. 2 Irrigating Company requests the plans show the
ditch easement as being 25 feet from the top of the bank on both sides of the
ditch for the continued ongoing cleaning, maintenance, and repair and/or
replacement of the ditch. Additional comments are that the developer will need
to have crossing agreements in place for the construction/installation of the
vehicular bridge, utility or other crossings of the ditch an/or any historical
discharge into the ditch. The Company requests additional plans showing the
detail for each of the proposed ditch crossings for review and approval.
Response: Easement is shown along ditch. More detail has been included for box culvert and ditch crossing. We will continue to
discuss crossing agreements with the irrigation company

Continued:
Thank you for adding a tree removal column to the single stem tree inventory
table. The NHBZ tree group table needs to include a column that clearly defines
the plan for removal or retention. In addition, please show all tree removals,
including tree removals in tree groups, with a label or a X over the tree
symbols/group cloud. Currently, this is not clear on the plans.
7/13/2020: FOR FINAL APPROVAL
In both the Tree Group (NHBZ) inventory table and the single stem tree inventory
and mitigation table, please add columns that clearly define the plan to either
remove or retain certain trees. On the landscape plans, trees and tree groups
that are proposed to be removed should be shown with a X over the symbol.
Ripley Response: In most cases, only parts of the tree group are being removed. Therefore, there is the column that shows “Tree
canopy to be removed.” If it says “0” the entire tree group will be preserved with this phase. This table has been relocated to the
tree mitigation page. Additional “x”’s have been added.

Please review Forestry’s redlines. There are a handful of tree -utility conflicts that
need to be resolved either by shifting utilities or slightly shifting tree locations.
Ripley Response: Plans have been revised.

On Sheet 10 of the landscape plan, there is a water line that is shown
underneath two existing trees just west of Salud Road and north of Laporte Ave.
Is this line existing or proposed? If it is proposed, please shift the utility away
from directly under the trees. If that is not feasible, the line will need to be
installed via boring methods. Please advise Forestry if this is the preferred
route for further coordination. We can provide a boring/tree protection note if
needed.
Response: Waterline and trees are both existing. They will be removed with demolition of existing Salud Building
