File type acronyms maybe appropriate to avoid extremely long file names.
Example: TIS for Traffic Impact Study, ECS for Ecological Characterization Study.
*Please disregard any references to paper copies, flash drives, or CDs.

06/21/2022: RESUBMITTAL:
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".

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 10, 2021, one additional week of review time will be
added to all 1st and 2nd round submittals (increase from 3 weeks to 4 weeks).
- SFP: No response required; update of expected timelines has been noted.
Comment Number: 7
06/21/2022: INFORMATION:
Please resubmit within 180 days, approximately 6 months, to avoid the
expiration of your project.

- SFP: No Response required; project will not sit unattended long enough to expire.
Comment Number: 8
06/21/2022: FOR HEARING:
All "For Hearing" comments need to be addressed and resolved prior to
moving forward with scheduling the Hearing. Staff will need to agree the project
is ready for Hearing approximately 4 to 8 weeks prior to the hearing.
- SFP: requirements for scheduling of Hearing are understood.
Comment Number: 9
06/21/2022: FOR HEARING:
The proposed development project is subject to a Type 1 Review. The decision
maker for your project will be an Administrative Hearing Officer at a public
hearing. For the hearing, we will formally notify surrounding property owners
within 800 feet (excluding public right‑of‑way and publicly owned open space).
As your Development Review Coordinator, I will assist with preparing the mailing and coordinating the
hearing date with your team.

06/21/2022: FOR HEARING: This is a good response to our previous
comments, thank you. A question: does the LIGHTING PLAN incorporate a
table showing the lumen budget for the site, and listing the BUG ratings for the fixtures?
This is essentially a documentation formality, the lighting design looks fine and I
would be very surprised if there's any problem in these technical specs.
JCAA: Drawing have been updated; please reference: Photometric Cutsheets Sheet EP19.

06/21/2022: FOR HEARING: FENCE RETURN, AND PAINT IT: Can you add a
return to the fence along the south parking? Say, turn it 6' to the north at its east
end, to tuck the parking in a little bit more?
And then in this urban location, please use a wood that can be painted, and
paint it to complement the architecture. Let me know if this is a problem, thank you.
- Ridge Top: The fence return requested has been amended on the development plan. Fence material is proposed to be cedar, in order to comply with paint request; please reference: Overall
Site Plan Sheet C-1.0
Comment Number: 3
06/21/2022: FOR HEARING: I would like to ask the architect about the
horizontal bands of EIFS. I would ask the thinking about that, wondering whether
the stripe effect detracts from the juxtaposed building massing modules as the
defining approach to the whole building.
- Rogue: Your observations are on point and thank you for your comment. Canvas is currently only in Colorado and the color palette was selected to represent the natural aspects of
the state. The overall building has a singular mass with the MCM-1 Zebrawood Panels (dark brown). This volume also indicates the Public spaces that can be accessed by the Community.
The entry elements are stacked with stone creating a defining vertical element. Along with the Zebrawood panels, these two elements ground the building and anchor the entry and Community
spaces. The rest of the building, in color and material, gets lighter as it gets to the top. Stone base, dark EIFS, light EIFS. The intent of this approach is to include the fenestration
in the darker EIFS banding and to cap it with the lighter EIFS. We believe the articulation of all these elements and colors create the impression of a Grounded / Anchored financial
institution, that is Colorado / Native, while allowing the building as a whole to feel integrated into the neighborhood due to its ‘lightness’. We hope this explains our approach and
Canvas’ vision.

Topic: Erosion Control
Comment Number: 1
06/16/2022: INFORMATION:
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 lots, 0.43 acres of disturbance, 1 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 $1116.04.
Based on 1 number of bioretention/rain garden the estimate of the Stormwater
LID/WQ Inspection fee is $315.
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.
- Acknowledged. Fees will be paid by owner.
