Northern Engineering Response: Responses added to redlines Topic: Fees Comment Number: 1 03/31/2023: INFORMATION: 01/13/2023: 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 costs. The Erosion Control Inspection Fee is based on; the number of building permits, the total site disturbance and the estimated number of years the project will be active. Based on the proposed site construction associated with this project we are assuming 4 building permits, 3.20 acres of disturbance, 1.5 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 Inspection Fee estimate of $1,717.95. 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. The fee will need to be provided at the time of erosion of the payment of the erosion control escrow and prior to any building permit issuance. The Stormwater/Water Quality Inspection Fees are based on the number of LID/WQ Features that are designed for this project. Based on the plans we identified 5 underground treatment systems, which results in the estimate of the Stormwater/WQ Inspection Fee to be $2,075.00. Please note that as the plans or any subsequent review modifications of the above-mentioned values change the fees may need to be modified or adjusted. I have provided a copy of the spreadsheet used to arrive at these estimates for your review. The fee will need to be provided at the time of payment of the erosion control escrow and prior to 6 any building permit issuance. Strategic Storage Partners: Developer/Owner will pay applicable fees at permiting.

Department: Environmental Planning 9 Contact: Kristie Raymond, , kraymond@fcgov.com Topic: General Comment Number: 2 03/13/2023: FOR FINAL APPROVAL: Please change #7 of the Native Seed Mix Notes on the Landscape plans to: 7. AFTER SEEDING THE AREA SHALL BE COVERED WITH CRIMPED STRAW, JUTE MESH, OR OTHER APPROPRIATE METHODS. PLASTIC-BASED EROSION CONTROL MATERIALS (I.E., PLASTIC-WELDED BLANKETS) SHALL NOT BE USED WITHOUT EXPRESS PERMISSION FROM THE ENVIRONMENTAL PLANNER AS THESE MATERIALS HAVE PROVEN TO CAUSE WILDLIFE ENTRAPMENT ISSUES. Ripley Design Response: Note 7 on the landscape plans have been changed to match the above notes. Comment Number: 3 04/04/2023: FOR FINAL APPROVAL: A minimum of 2 feet of soil will need to cover the underground water chambers for vegetation above to be successful. If less than 4 feet of soil is on top of the underground chambers, a different seed mix may want to be considered that takes into account the drainage of a smaller soil horizon structure that would account for dryer and warmer soils. The following grasses are options to consider above these chambers to ensure the sustainability of vegetation communities which inhabit the cover in this different soil structure: Hilaria rigida-galleta, bottlebrush squirreltail - Elymus elymoides, pine dropseed - Blepharoneuron tricholepis, and sideoats grama - Bouteloua curtipendula. Ripley Design Response: Thank you for the alternatives, Kris tie. We will discuss with seed It may also be helpful to visit the City of Fort Collins vegetation database: https://www.fcgov.com/vegetation/.
