Comment Summary: Department: Engineering Development Review Contact: Katie Andrews, 970-221-6601, kandrews(a-)-fcgov.com Topic: General Comment Number: 1 Comment Originated: 04/09/201.8 04/09/2018: Please clarify what's happening with the two drive approaches— does 2' curb typical existing mean vertical or rollover? The driveways should. be brought up to current LCUASS standards and designed and reconstructed in accordance with detail 706.1 (or 707.1 if the traffic warrants a high -volume drive). Comment Number: 2 Comment Originated: 04/09/2018 04/09/2018` The minimum width for a private drive approach is 24 feet — a variance would be required to allow for the reduced width. Comment Number: 3 Comment Originated: 04./09/2018 04/09./2018: If you do not wish to dedicate the standard utility easements, please provide a variance request in accordance with 1.9.4 of the LCUASS. Comment Number: 4 Comment Originated: 04/09/2018 04/09/2018: The diagonal chase is not a standard design nor is it ideal for this area from the City's perspective. We'd like to work with you on the chase design in this area, there are some locations around the City where the drain directly abuts the drive approach a good example is 619 S College Ave. Comment Number: 5 Comment Originated: 04/09/2018 04/09/2018: It appears that a portion of the fence is being left in the ROW frontage — an encroachment permit would need to be approved in order for this to remain. Comment Number: 6 Comment Originated: 04/09/2018 04/09/2018: 1 did not notice signage for the entrance only/exit only — this is a critical part of the access/drive design, please include a proposal for this with the next submittal. It might be beneficial to include this information in the variance request for the reduced -width driveway as well. Page 1 of 10 Comment Number: 7 Comment Originated: 04/11/2018 04/11/2018: Covered chase drains have been approved in the past in the City. Please include a design for review with your next submittal or provide an exhibit directly to me for a quick review prior to the next submittal.

Department: Forestry Contact: Molly Roche, , mroche(a)fcaov.com Topic: Landscape Plans Comment Number: 1 Comment Originated: 04/10/2018 04/10/2018: There appears to be existing trees on -site.. Please schedule an on -site meeting with City Forestry to obtain tree inventory and mitigation information. All existing trees should be retained and protected to the extent reasonably feasible; Comment Number: 2 Comment Originated: 04/10/2018 04/10/2018: Will the new driveway installation require any grading? Please note that the Ash tree adjacent to the proposed driveway is planned to receive treatment for Emerald Ash Borer by City Forestry.. Comment Number: 3 Comment Originated: 04/10/2018 4/9/2018: Three of the Ash trees shown on landscape plans will not be treated for Emerald Ash Borer by City Forestry. This means that they will be removed within the next couple years. City Forestry would like to discuss a few planting management options with the developer: 1) Developer remove and replace (3) Ash trees within the right-of-way at time of project approval. Replace Ash trees with approved species from the City of Fort Collins Street Tree list. 2) City Forestry remove and replace (3) Ash trees within the right-of-way. Replacement trees to be included in the Ash Replacement Program — paid for and planted by City Forestry. 3) Consider `shadow -planting' between existing Ash trees. This will allow new trees to start establishing before the Ash are removed. I am throwing out these options so that landscape updates coincide with site improvements. It will benefit the development to establish new trees now instead of later.
