If you have any questions, need additional meetings with the project reviewers, or need assistance throughout the process, please let me know and I can assist you and your team. Please include me in all email correspondence with other reviewers and keep me informed of any phone conversations. Thank you! Ripley Design: Thanks, Brandy! Comment Number: 2 2 08/12/2022: FOR FINAL PLAN: As part of your submittal, you will respond to the comments provided in this letter. This letter is provided to you in Microsoft Word format. Please use this document to insert responses to each comment for your submittal, using a different font color. When replying to the comment letter please be detailed in your responses, as all comments should be thoroughly addressed. Provide reference to specific project plans or explanations of why comments have not been addressed, when applicable, avoiding responses like noted or acknowledged. Ripley Design: Updated comment response letter provided. Thank you. Comment Number: 3 08/12/2022: FOR FINAL PLAN: 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. *Please disregard any references to paper copies, flash drives, or CDs. Ripley Design: File naming reflects these standards. Comment Number: 4 08/12/2022: FOR FINAL PLAN: 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". Read this article at Autodesk.com for more tips on this topic: https://knowledge.autodesk.com/support/autocad/troubleshooting/caas/sfdcarti cles/sfdcarticles/Drawing-text-appears-as-Comments-in-a-PDF-created-by-Aut oCAD.html Ripley Design: PDFs are flattened for optimal viewing. Northern Engineering: Acknowledged, PDFs will be flattened for submittal. Comment Number: 5 08/12/2022: FOR FINAL PLAN: Submittals are accepted any day of the week, with Wednesday at noon being the cut-off for routing the same week. When you are ready to resubmit your plans, please notify me with as much advanced notice as possible. Ripley Design: Acknowledged. Thank you. 3 Comment Number: 8 04/29/2022: 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 3 to 5 weeks prior to the hearing. Ripley Design: Acknowledged. Thank you. Comment Number: 9 04/29/2022: FOR HEARING: This proposed project is processing as a Type 2 Development Plan. The decision maker for Type 2 is the Planning and Zoning (P&Z) Commission. For the hearing, we will formally notify surrounding property owners within 800 feet (excluding public right-of-way and publicly owned open space). Staff will need to agree the project is ready for Hearing approximately 3 -5 weeks prior to the hearing. I have attached the P&Z schedule, which has key dates leading up to the hearing. Ripley Design: Noted, thank you for providing that information Comment Number: 11 08/12/2022: INFORMATION: If the Project Development Plan is approved at Hearing, please apply for Final Development Plan within three years of the date of approval to avoid the expiration of the PDP Approval. LUC 2.211(D) Housing Catalyst: Acknowledged, thank you Department: Planning Services Contact: Will Lindsey, , wlindsey@fcgov.com Topic: General Comment Number: 30 11/1/2022: UNRESOLVED: The comment response letter indicates a crusher fines path was added to the plans but it's not called out and the surface is not the legend on either the site plan or landscape plan set. Ripley Design: Crusher fine was shown on the plan, now further clarification has been added to the legend and labels have been added. 08/09/2022: UNRESOLVED: Can anything be done to create an alternative surface, such as crusher fines, for pedestrians other than the existing grass? Staff is concerned about the long-term impact of ped-traffic over the grass as passengers enter and exit vehicles, and the possibility that it may spill-over to impact the neighboring property to the south. 06/28/2022: QUESTION: Can an attached 6 foot sidewalk for the portion of Impala Circle that abuts 408 Impala Dr be provided? There is already an existing sidewalk stub on the 400 Impala property to the east, and extending that sidewalk out to Impala Dr would be beneficial for the development as well as helping the vacated ROW meet the private street standards which require either detached sidewalks with a tree lawn or attached sidewalks with trees in grates. 4 Department: Traffic Operation Contact: Steve Gilchrist, 970-224-6175, sgilchrist@fcgov.com Topic: Traffic Impact Study Comment Number: 7 10/31/2022: FOR HEARING: It is our understanding that a number of proposed units are being converted from Multi-family Attached units to Single-family Attached units. If this is the case we would like to get an amendment to TIS to outline these details and what the new anticipated trip generation would be. Ripley Design: An updated TIS was provided for Hearing and is included in the initial FDP submittal as well. Department: Light And Power Contact: Austin Kreager, 970-224-6152, akreager@fcgov.com Topic: General Comment Number: 9 05/03/2022: FOR FINAL PLAN: Multi family buildings and duplexes are treated as customer owned services; therefore a C-1 form and one line diagram must be filled out and submitted to Light & Power Engineering for each building.

Department: PFA Contact: Marcus Glasgow, 970-416-2869, marcus.glasgow@poudre-fire.org Topic: General Comment Number: 5 04/27/2022: FOR FINAL PLAN: PREMISE IDENTIFICATION: ADDRESS POSTING & WAYFINDING Where possible, the naming of private drives is usually recommended to aid in wayfinding. Addresses shall be posted on each structure and where otherwise needed to aid in wayfinding. Code language provided below. - IFC 505.1: New and existing buildings shall have approved address numbers, building numbers or approved building identification placed in a position that is plainly legible, visible from the street or road fronting the property, and posted with a minimum of eight inch numerals on a contrasting background. Where- access is by means of a private road and the building cannot be viewed from the public way, a monument, pole or other sign or means shall be used to identify the structure and best route. STUDIO Architecture: Buildings A, B and D face the public ROW and their addresses are proposed to be mounted on the building. Please reference the building elevation sheets for proposed locations. Building C is accessed from a private road and therefore a monument sign is proposed in addition to a building mounted address.
