Response: Radii for curb returns on driveways and intersections are called out on the plans.
Comment Number: 16 Comment Originated: 10/31/2021
10/31/2021: For Information: The dimensions of the island for the right in right

Response: The dimensions for the island are included on the plans.
Comment Number: 20 Comment Originated: 11/03/2021
11/03/2021: For Information: There will need to be further discussion on the
improvement that are available for TCEF reimbursement. This will require
further investigation from the City's review.
Response: Noted.
Comment Number: 26 Comment Originated: 02/22/2022
02/22/2022: For Information: The cross section used for College Avenue does
coordinate with what is approved through the South College Corridor Plan. The
3
plan recommends an eight foot detached multiuse path with bicycle lanes in
College Drive.
Response: Noted.
Comment Number: 32 Comment Originated: 07/12/2022
07/12/2022: For Final Approval: There will need to be further discussion on the
phasing of the construction on College Avenue. This will also need to be
coordinated with the required CDOT permit. It is acknowledged that the lane
configuration is safe as long as the driveway entrance is built with phase one as
shown. The current proposal would prevent right hand turns onto College
Avenue unless the some portion of a transition lane is constructed to merge
traffic. This generally requires that the merging lane meet AASHTO
requirements. The applicant may find that the cost of the merging lane may not
be much cheaper than constructing the remaining improvements.
Response: We have revised the phasing plans to include the College Avenue roadway improvements.
The College Avenue sidewalk improvements on southern portion of the property will be built with Phase 2
with the KIA Dealership building.
Comment Number: 33 Comment Originated: 07/12/2022
07/12/2022: For Information: The traffic control plan will have to be completed
with phase one based on the intersection configuration. Unfortunately this light
does not qualify for TCEF reimbursement. Portions of the roadway
improvements may qualify. Further discussion will need include Marc Virata.
Response: It is the developer’s intent to build the traffic signal with the Phase 1 improvements. It is
understood that the signal is not eligible for TCEF reimbursement. Please let us know what roadway
improvements are eligible.
Comment Number: 46 Comment Originated: 07/13/2022
07/13/2022: For Final Approval: The comment relates to Comment 32. The
demolition plan shows that the improvements south of the proposed driveway
will be removed but will not be installed back until phase two of the project. With
no curb and gutter, this could create some drainage issues that could impact
the roadway. What is the timing between phase 1 and phase 2. This may help
staff better understand the impacts.
Response: The demo plan does not show phasing. The phasing of the demolition will correspond with
the same areas that are shown on the phasing plan.
Comment Number: 47 Comment Originated: 07/13/2022
07/13/2022: For Final Approval: There is a short patch of paving to the south of the valley pan in
Venus Drive. The paving and saw cutting are determined in the field based on
LUCASS Standards. There made need to be a larger patch carried out to the
middle of the lane or the centerline removing the seam from the wheel path. The
engineer may want to perform some investigatory work or specify on the plans
that any incompatibility in the existing and proposed asphalt section will need to
be rectified in the pavement design report.
Response: Thanks for the recommendations. After further discussions and our assumption is that the
existing pavement is likely not up to current standards. We have shown removing and replacing the
existing pavement out to the crown line. It’s also understood that additional pavement may need to be
removed to the south of the pan on the east side of the crown.
Comment Number: 48 Comment Originated: 07/13/2022
07/13/2022: For Final Approval: Please add spot elevations to the corners of
the handicapped ramps and slopes. This will help with the inspections in the
4
field.
Response: All spot elevations are shown on handicap ramps.
Comment Number: 49 Comment Originated: 07/13/2022
07/13/2022: For Final Approval: What kind of wall will be used for retainage
along Venus? Will the footer interfere with the utility easement?
Response: A concrete retaining wall is planned along Venus. The structural engineer is designing the
retaining wall and is looking into options that won’t impact the utility easement. We will provide more
information and include a section of the wall in the plans with the next submittal.
Comment Number: 50 Comment Originated: 07/13/2022
07/13/2022: For Final Approval: The stormwater facility located along Venus
Avenue appears to infiltrate water. Will this water have an detrimental impact
on the road base?
Response: We are including an impermeable membrane around this stormwater facility so that it doesn’t
impact the adjacent road and adjacent wall.
Comment Number: 51 Comment Originated: 07/13/2022
07/13/2022: For Information: A draft of the development agreement is due to
the City Attorneys office at the time of second round FDP comments. We
usually do not see first round FDP submittals until after the project has gone to
hearing. To develop a draft of the DA the project will need to go to hearing first.
City staff will still work to prioritize the timing of completion of the Development
agreement but will have to wait for the approval through hearing to complete a
working draft if second round of FDP happens before the hearing.
Response: Understood, we hope that a draft of the DA can begin now that we have been through the
hearing process and we are essentially submitting our second round of FDP documents.
Comment Number: 52 Comment Originated: 07/13/2022
07/13/2022: For Hearing: It appears that the Surveyor is dedicating an
easement for the North Louden Ditch which is overlaid also with an emergency
access easement. The plat will need a signature block for the North Louden
Ditch Company.
Response: A signature block has been added to the Plat.
Comment Number: 53 Comment Originated: 07/13/2022
07/13/2022: For Final Approval: The easements and right of way will need to
be submitted and recorded before approval of the plat.
Response: Understood. We are working on getting these signed and recorded with the adjacent property
owner.

I am not seeing the statement regarding minimum building elevations required
for 100-year storm protection. It is marked as Included in the FDP checklist (II)
(E). Please note that your checklist is not current, and the building elevation
statement you see in your checklist is not current. Please see
https://www.larimer.gov/engineering/standards-and-guides/urban-area-street-st

07/13/2022: FOR FINAL APPROVAL
When the proposed section of Venus Drive ties into the existing Venus Drive,
the arc length is listed as 88 feet. The minimum arc length is 200 feet (LCUASS
Table 7-5). Deviating from standards will require a variance request.
Response: This is an existing condition. A variance request will be provided.
Comment Number: 40 Comment Originated: 07/13/2022
07/13/2022: FOR FINAL APPROVAL
Please include utilities in street plan and profiles. See LCUASS App E-4 (IV) (R).
Response: In the checklist, section IV covers utility plan sheets, while section V covers road plan & profile
sheets. There does appear to be a requirement in section V to include utilities on road plan & profile sheets.
We are concerned that adding the utilities to the roadway plan and profile sheets may add confusion to
those sheets. We have the storm sewer, sanitary sewer, and waterlines profiled separately from the road
plan & profile sheets.

Because Venus is local roadway, the Venus/College intersection is not eligible
for TCEF reimbursement.
11/02/2021: FOR FINAL PLAN
Please note that full design of College Ave., including the proposed traffic
signal, signing and striping, etc. will be the responsibility of the developer and
subject to review and approval by CDOT. The traffic signal is not eligible for
City funding and will be the full responsibility of the development.
Comment Number: 13 Comment Originated: 05/04/2022
07/12/2022: FOR FINAL APPROVAL - UPDATED:
What to include on signal plan:
• Mastarm signal head centered over bike lane and through lane
• Streetname sign
• Side of pole
• Video detection on all four approaches
• Ped push buttons (within 10’ from the flowline max)
• Underground infrastructure to ped poles
• Show landings on the corners on the Eastside and ADA measurements (10”
reach to ped push button) – West side (to be completed by others)
o Landing 4x4 pad, less than 2% cross slope, ped push button accessible from this pad
05/04/2022: FOR HEARING
Please add callouts where appropriate that indicate the future traffic signal at
Venus/College. I just want it to be clear on the plans that there will be a signal
there. As discussed previously, the design for the signal is not needed until
FDP. When the traffic signal plans are sent to Traffic Ops to review prior to your
FDP submittal, please include Tyler Siegmund from Light and Power as well
(tsiegmund@fcgov.com).
Delich: The signal plans have been revised including the above items.

Topic: Erosion Control
Comment Number: 42 Comment Originated: 07/12/2022
07/12/2022: FOR FINAL APPROVAL:
It was requested that this project be treated as an FDP as such, this project
failed to provide erosion control plans meeting City Criteria. These plans need
erosion control sequencing sheets (not chart as this project is over 3 acres) and
phasing (as this is over 5 acres) taken into account. The erosion control plans
were missing key components for review including calculation chart. I will not
provide redlines on the sheets until the erosion control phasing and sequences
are provided as they will change significantly from what was provided. The
erosion control report also seems to be lacking any discussion of sequencing or
phasing. Also the final stabilization section seems not to meet the criteria at just
a cursory glance. Escrow Calculation doesn't take into account phasing as well.
At this point I will wait for the next round of submittals to provide sequencing and
phasing that was requested of submittal at FDP by Basil Hamdan back in
October. Please use the check sheet provided in the relines folder and at
www.fcgov.com/erosion for this and all future submittals also a re-read of
FCSCM Ch 2 Sec 6 in its entirety before submitting these plans would not go amiss.
Response: All erosion control items have been updated to meet City criteria, including
detailed information for phasing and sequencing. Separate phasing and sequenced Erosion Control Plan
sheets have been included in the utility plans per City criteria.

05/03/2022: FOR FINAL PLAN – UPDATED:
The Letter of Intent or Agreement from the North Louden Ditch is acceptable,
however since this is in the form of a legal agreement, the developer will need to
provide the City with written notification within 3-business days in the event that
the ‘agreement’ with the North Louden Ditch Company expires.
11/02/2021: FOR HEARING: (addressed)
The realignment and undergrounding of the North Louden Ditch will require the
ditch company to sign the plans. A Letter of Intent is required before Hearing.
For final approval – the agreement with North Louden Ditch Company will need
to document Ownership and Maintenance responsibilities for relocated ditch
section.

05/03/2022: FOR HEARING - CONDITION OF APPROVAL:
**Regarding the drainage easement through the City Natural Areas property.
Per recent discussions I understand the applicant has a desire to take this
project to Planning and Zoning Hearing without the "letter of intent" from the
Natural Areas Department. This is called an "at risk" approach and would be a
condition of Hearing approval.
Condition of approval: "For approval of the Final Development Plan the
developer shall obtain a drainage easement from the City Natural Areas
Department and it's governing authorities. This includes a recommendation
from the Land Conservation and Stewardship Board as well as ultimate
approval from City Council."
02/22/2022: FOR HEARING:
Follow up on comment 13 – a drainage easement will be needed through the
Natural Areas property for formalization of this drainage flow path. A ‘letter of
intent’ for this will be required before Hearing. The Natural Areas staff has
indicated that a recommendation from the Natural Areas Board will be needed
before this LOI can be written. The final easement approval is through City
Council however.
Response: Noted, thank you.
Comment Number: 29 Comment Originated: 05/03/2022
07/07/2022: INFORMATION
All redlines were addressed or gave satisfactory reasons as to why. The city

When the storm sewer lines cross over a water main, the water main will have to
be encased in concrete for protection in order to adhere to Fort Collins
Standards. This should be reflected in the profile plans, example of one case is
Storm Line H4.2 Profile.

CONSTRUCTION PERMIT ISSUANCE: Language regarding the protection and
enhancement of the Natural Habitat Buffer Zone will be included in the
Development Agreement for this project. A security will need to be provided
prior to the issuance of a Development Construction Permit that accounts for
the installation and establishment of the Natural Habitat Buffer Zone. Prior to the
FDP approval please provide an estimate of the landscaping costs for the
Natural Habitat Buffer Zone, including materials, labor, monitoring for a
minimum of three years, weed mitigation and irrigation. We will then use the
approved estimate to collect a security (bond or escrow) at 125% of the total
amount prior to the issuance of a Development Construction Permit.
The NHBZ Estimator has been provided to the DRC.
