ReviewContact: John Gerwel, , jgerwel@fcgov.comTopic: GeneralComment Number: 8 03/08/2023: FOR APPROVAL:I noticed that the certification header was removed on the cover
sheet of the utility plans. That certification statement needs to state the following: "I herebyaffirm that these final construction plans were prepared under my direct supervision,
in accordance with all applicable City of Fort Collins and State of Colorado standards and statutes, respectively; and that I am fully responsible for the accuracy of all design, revisions,
and record conditions that I have noted onthese plans." That statement needs to be signed and dated by the reviewingengineer with their associated PE number.Response: Good catch! Not
sure what happened there, but the Certification Statement is back in place. We have also updated the signature blocks on the cover to be correct for this project.Comment Number: 9
03/28/2023: FOR APPROVAL:We will need a Temporary Construction Easement for 740 College, which isowned by the City. The easement will be need to be conveyed from the City to
the developer.Response: Understood. A legal description is included with this submittal.Comment Number: 10 03/08/2023: FOR RECORDING:Make sure you have the current date (month
and year) under the legal description in the utility plans.Response: The plans show the correct dates.Contact: Tim Dinger, tdinger@fcgov.comTopic: GeneralComment Number: 1
03/28/2023: FOR APPROVAL UPDATED: This meeting is currently scheduled for Monday April 10th at 11am.Response: The first cost sharing meeting took place on April 10th and a second
meeting is planned on May 1st.01/05/2023: FOR APPROVAL:The costsharing discussion around the crosswalk seems to be still ongoing. We will look to set up a meeting to negotiate and finalize
the cost sharing for the sidewalk.Comment Number: 5 03/08/2023: FOR DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT UNRESOLVED:The lending information is still needed. Response: We currently do not
have a lending institution lined up for the project which is why we haven’t listed one. A lender maybe needed for the project but we are currently seeking other types of funding (grants,
donations, etc) so the loan is as small as possible.If it is determined that a lender is needed, we will notify all appropriate parties.01/05/2023: FOR DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT:The DA
information form is missing some necessary information. The "attest" field is blank, and needs to be filled in with a person who will be the witness to Mike Freeman's signature. Additionally,
under "Lender Name", you have marked not applicable. Does this mean that you are not getting a constructionloan, and you will finance the project yourselves?Department: Traffic OperationContact:
Steve Gilchrist, 9702246175, sgilchrist@fcgov.comTopic: GeneralComment Number: 1 03/27/2023: FOR FINAL APPROVAL UPDATED: Additional redlines have been provided in response
to the changes that were made previously. Response: Thank you. Redlines have been addressed.01/09/2023: FOR FINAL APPROVAL:We will need more detailed signing and striping plans. Redlines
have beenprovided. Please reach out if you have questions on the notes provided.Comment Number: 2 03/27/2023: FOR FINAL APPROVAL UPDATED: A meeting regarding the proposed
cost share will need to occur prior to the next round of submittal, or it will be denied. Response: The first cost sharing meeting took place on April 10th and a second meeting is
planned on May 1st.01/09/2023: FOR FINAL APPROVAL:The memo and spreadsheet detailing the proposed cost share for the regional trail and crossing will need further discussion. This
is shown on the TrailsMaster Plan as a location for a grade separated crossing, but through the development review process we have moved to an at grade crossing with a rectangular rapid
flashing beacon. This provided considerable cost savings, and minimized the right of way that would be needed with an underpass. Given this change we feel a larger proportional share
for the crossing is warrantedcompared to what is outlined in the memo provided. The City would like a like to split the costs 50/50 with developer. We can set up an outside meeting
to discuss further and iron out the fine details.Department: Stormwater EngineeringContact: Basil Hamdan, 9702221801, bhamdan@fcgov.comTopic: Erosion ControlComment Number: 4
03/23/2023: FOR APPROVAL UPDATED:Please address comments provided on the redlined plans.Response: Understood. Redlines have been addressed.01/05/2023: FOR APPROVAL:The submitted
Erosion Control Plans and report are inadequate and incomplete, it is not possible to review these since most of the informationrequired is lacking. Please review requirements as detailed
in the Fort Collins Stormwater Criteria Manual (FCSCM), Chapter 2, Section 6.0. A copy of those requirements can be found at www.fcgov.com/erosion and meet these with future submittal;
failure to do so will result in the rejection of any future submittal. Since not all required sequence sheets were provided comments are limited and will change once all required materials
are submitted. The Erosion Control estimate will also need to be updated with future plan additions/revisions.Topic: FeesComment Number: 1 03/23/2023: INFORMATION:01/05/2023:
INFORMATION:The City Manager’s development review fee schedule under City Code 7.52 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 Inspection fee is based on; the number of lots/buildingpermits, the total site disturbance and
the estimated number of years the projectwill be active. Based on the proposed site construction associated with this project we are assuming 1 building permit and lot, 4.97 acres of
disturbance, 2years from demo through build out of construction and an additional 3 years until full vegetative stabilization is achieved. Which results in an Erosion Control Fee estimate
of $1,974.06 . Please note that as the plans and any subsequent review modifications of the abovementioned values change the fees may needto be modified. I have provided a copy of the
spreadsheet used to arrive at these estimates for your review.The Stormwater Quality Inspection Fee is based on the number of LID and otherWater Quality Features that are designed for
this project. Based on the submitted plans we identified 7 porous pavers fields ,4 bioretentionsystems/rain gardens and 1 extended detention basin which results in an estimate of the
Stormwater LID/WQ Inspection fee of $ 4,065. Please note thatas the plans and any subsequent revisions to the abovementioned 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. The fees will need to be paid prior to building permit issuance.Response: Understood. Thank you.Department:

section and/ or profile plus any other details necessary to construct the overflow.Response: Aboulder retaining wall/weir detail has been added to the landscape plans (Sheet L2)01/10/2023:
FOR APPROVAL: Pond overflow and freeboard comments: a.Along the pond overflow, provide a design profile (parallel) and cross section (perpendicular). b.Provide a detail for the spillway
section, this needs to include a concrete sill defining the overflow section. c.The overflow spillway may be set at the same elevation as the 100yr WSEL. The pond design must provide
1ft of freeboard measured from overflow crest to top of bank.d.The variance request for reduced freeboard is denied.Comment Number: 15 03/28/2023: FOR INFORMATION:Follow up
– In response to your question: “The 100yr WSEL is hatched in the grading plan. For what it is worth, we’d prefer to use a solid line or somethingother than the solid hatch for plan
readability. Have you seen any other methodsof delineating the 100yr WSEL that weren’t a hatch over the whole pond?” Usually pond WSELs are labeled on the grading plans with simple
line, maybeof a different line type or color, and labeled as “pond WSEL xxxx”.Response: Thank you for this info! We have gone to a less obtrusive display of this info.01/10/2023: FOR
APPROVAL: addressedLabel and delineate the 100yr pond water surface elevation and extents on the grading plan.Comment Number: 16 03/28/2023: FOR APPROVAL – NOT ADDRESSED:I
did not find pothole locate information on the Utility Plans. Please show me if I missed it. Otherwise, provide an additional “pothole locate information” sheetshowing pothole locations

APPROVAL: Present the utility pothole locate information in the Utility Plan set.Comment Number: 19 03/28/2023: FOR APPROVAL – UPDATED:I will need more information and documentation
of the hydraulic pipe analysis. From the information provided in the drainage report, I am not clear how muchflow is being conveyed in the pipe system south to the Whitewater Park outlet.
I am also unclear on the total flow rate at these 2 inlets (design points). Please see the drainage report redlines for more information. Please also see the included email from 2232023,
between myself and Andy Reese, that includedinstructions for what we wanted to see. Send updates on this hydraulic designdirectly to me for review BEFORE the next formal development
submittal.Response: Per response above, we have added info and detail to the report. As currently configured, the new siphon will pass the full 100-yr flow with no roadway overtopping.01/10/2023:
FOR APPROVAL: Provide HGL profiles for the Vine Drive storm pipes. The junction loss coefficients for need to take the snouts into consideration. Please documentand include in the
calculations for the snout losses.Comment Number: 20 03/28/2023: FOR APPROVAL – UPDATED:Provide a hydraulics section in the body of the report presenting the results of the

including flow rates and designcriteria. Include a discussion of the Vine Drive street encroachment for major and minor storms and the related curb inlet sizing. Include a discussion
of the sizing of the snout devices.Response: This has been added/enhanced.Comment Number: 24 03/28/2023: FOR APPROVAL: At rain garden 1, please explain why the inflow pipe
is not discharging to the rain garden surface and instead into the underdrain directly. Please revise for these flows to discharge to the rain garden surface or explain if I do not
understand.Response: Per our discussion during the staff review, the planter box is elevated above the adjacent ground, making it impractical to get flows from the ground level up into
the box.Comment Number: 25 03/28/2023: FOR APPROVAL: Provide detail of quantity detention orifice.Response: An orifice detail is now included.Department: WaterWastewater EngineeringContact:

have been addressed – thanks for sending those along. Please let us know if there is a better way to make sure we get them with the final comments and other redlines – we are happy to
help however we can but also don’t want to be pests :)Comment Number: 13 03/28/2023: FOR INFORMATION:Your response to comments contained this question:“Irrigation Tap – We
would like to explore the option of downsizing the 1.5” irrigation tap to a 1” tap. The justification for downsizing is that most of the proposed landscaping is native/drought tolerant
and seed irrigation zones willbe turned off after the seed is established (could be turned on occasionally during very dry periods). With this approach, the longterm irrigation water
demand will be lower than it will be during the first 23 years. With a 1” tap, longer watering windows will be required during establishment. Whatinformation does the city need to evaluate
this request?” In response to this question, the size selection for irrigation meters is based onthe “maximum continuous flow” rating for each meter type compared to the design irrigation
rate for the system. Our meter options include a 1inch discmeter (25 gpm max continuous) and the next step up is a 1.5inch turbine meter(160 gpm max). Your irrigation plans are showing
50 GPM, therefore a 1.5inchservice and meter is the correct selection. To reduce the design to a 1inch meter you will need to decrease the irrigation design flow to 25 GPM.Response:
Per email communications between Emma Pett and Jason Klausner from Aqua Engineering, a 1” irrigation tap and meter is acceptable to the City. The utility plans and the irrigation plans
have been updated to reflect this change.Department: Water ConservationContact: Emma Pett, , epett@fcgov.comTopic: GeneralComment Number: 1 03/22/2023: FOR FINAL APPROVAL:
