Comment Number: 2 Comment Originated: 03/28/2018 03/28/2018: Due to arrangement of proposed plan (commercial and residential) and different waste/recycling needs required by these different uses, highly suggest reaching out to Jonathon Nagel to discuss trash enclosure planning, bins and pick-up se►vice circulation. City Waste Reduction and Recycling Assistance Program (WRAP) http://fcgov.com/recycling/wrap.php Contact Jonathon Nagel at 970-416-2701 orjnagel@fcgov.com Comment Number: 3 Comment Originated: 03/28/2018 03/28/2018: City Land Use Code requires that to the extent reasonably feasible, all plans be designed to incorporate water conservation materials and techniques. This includes use of low-water-use plants and grasses in landscaping or re-landscaping and reducing bluegrass lawns as much as possible. Native plants and wildlife-friendly (ex: pollinators, butterflies, songbirds) landscaping and maintenance are also encouraged. See City of Fort Collins Natural Areas Department for guidance on native plants is: http://www.fcgov.com/naturalareas/pdf/nativeplants2013.pdf or City of Fort Collins Plant List : https://www.fcgov.com/forestry/plant_list.pdf.

Comment Number: 5 Comment Originated: 03/28/2018 03/28/2018: If tree removal is necessary, please include the following note on the tree mitigation plan and/or landscape plan, as appropriate: "NO TREES SHALL BE REMOVED DURING THE SONGBIRD NESTING SEASON (FEBRUARY 1 TO JULY 31) WITHOUT FIRST HAVING A PROFESSIONAL ECOLOGIST OR WILDLIFE BIOLOGIST COMPLETE A NESTING SURVEY TO IDENTIFY ANY ACTIVE NESTS EXISTING ON THE PROJECT SITE. THE SURVEY SHALL BE SENT TO THE CITY ENVIRONMENTAL PLANNER. IF ACTIVE NESTS ARE FOUND, THE CITY WILL COORDINATE WITH RELEVANT STATE AND FEDERAL REPRESENTATIVES TO DETERMINE WHETHER ADDITIONAL RESTRICTIONS ON TREE REMOVAL AND CONSTRUCTION APPLY." Comment Number: 6 Comment Originated: 03/28/2018 03/28/2018: In regard to lighting, especially LED light fixtures, cooler color temperatures are harsher at night and cause more disruption to circadian (biological) rhythms for both humans and wildlife. Warmer color temperature (warm white, 3000K or less) for any LED light fixtures is preferred. Please also consider fixtures with dimming capabilities so that light levels can be adjusted as needed. Site light sources shall be fully shielded and down-directional to minimize up-light, light spillage and glare [see LUC 3.2.4(D)(3)].
