1. Other service district (site specific comment):
This property is located within the Fort Collins-Loveland Water District and the South Fort
Collins Sanitation District. Please contact them for water and sewer availability and
requirements. The City of Fort Collins does have adequate water and sewer facilities in the
vicinity to service this property if you chose to petition out of the FCLWD and/or SFCSD.
Department: Traffic Operations
Contact: Tim Tuttle, , TTUTTLE(a�fcqov.com
1. Given the limited anticipated traffic generation the Traffic Impact Study can be waived.
However there will be traffic related items that will need to be addressed that include access
evaluation (allowing left turns into the site will be a challenge as the standards would require
a dedicated left turn lane).
2. Please work with Engineering for any right of way dedications and adjacent improvements
that are required. For instance an eastbound right turn lane from Harmony onto Taft Hill is
warranted with current traffic volumes.
Department: Technical Services
Contact: Jeff County, 970-221-6588, jcounty(a�fcqov.com
1. As of January 1, 2015 all development plans are required to be on the NAVD88 vertical
datum. Please make your consultants aware of this, prior to any surveying and/or design
work.
2. This property is outside of the City limits. If an Annexation Plat will be required, addresses are
not acceptable in the Plat title/name.
3. If submitting a Subdivision Plat for this property/project, addresses are not acceptable in the
Subdivision Plat title/name.
Department: Stormwater Engineering
Contact: Jesse Schlam, 970-218-2932, ischlam(a�fcqov.com
1. The site disturbs more than 10,000 sq. ft. and therefore Erosion and Sediment Control
Materials need to be submitted. Current Erosion Control Materials Submitted do not meet
requirements. The erosion control requirements are in the Stormwater Design Criteria under
the Amendments of Volume 3 Chapter 7 Section 1.3.3. a copy of the erosion control
requirements can be found at www.fcgov.com/eroison. The Erosion Control Materials will
need to be submitted at time of the first round of FDP. If you need clarification
concerning the Erosion Control Material Requirements or Comments presented above
please contact myself. Jesse Schlam (970) 224-6015 jschlam@fcgov.com
2. Master plan and criteria compliance (site specific comment):
The design of this site must conform to the drainage basin design of the Mail Creek Master
Drainage Plan as well the Fort Collins Stormwater Criteria Manual.
Page 2 of 10
3. Documentation requirements (site specific comment):
A drainage report and construction plans are required and they must be prepared by a
Professional Engineer registered in the State of Colorado. The drainage report must
address the four-step process for selecting structural BMPs.
4. Stormwater outfall (site specific comment):
There is an existing storm pipe located within the intersection that connects two area inlets to
a drainage channel at the northeast corner of the intersection. This existing pipe can serve
as the stormwater outfall for this project site. However, please note that there is a
stormwater master plan improvement planned for this area that includes the installation of a
new, larger storm pipe within the Taft Hill and Harmony Road intersection and will extend
along the north side of Harmony Road to the east. The details or timeline of this master plan
improvement have not yet been determined.
5. Imperviousness documentation (standard comment):
It is important to document the existing impervious area since drainage requirements and
fees are based on new impervious area. An exhibit showing the existing and proposed
impervious areas with a table summarizing the areas is required prior to the time fees are
calculated for each building permit.
6. Detention requirements (site specific comment):
Onsite detention is required for the runoff volume difference between the 100-year developed
inflow rate and the 2-year historic release rate. Please note that detention is not allowed to
be placed within the 15-foot utility easements that align along the back of right-of-way.
7. Detention drain times (standard comment):
Per Colorado Revised Statute §37-92-602 (8) that became effective August 5, 2015, criteria
regarding detention drain time will apply to this project. As part of the drainage design, the
engineer will be required to show compliance with this statute using a standard spreadsheet
(available on request) that will need to be included in the drainage report. Upon completion of
the project, the engineer will also be required to upload the approved spreadsheet onto the
Statewide Compliance Portal. This will apply to any volume based stormwater storage,
including extended detention basins.
8. Standard water quality requirements (standard comment):
Fifty percent of the site runoff is required to be treated using the standard water quality
treatment as described in the Fort Collins Stormwater Manual, Volume 3-Best Management
Practices (BMPs).
(http://www.fcgov.com/utilities/business/builders-and-developers/development-forms-guideli
nes-regulations/stormwater-criteria) Extended detention is the usual method selected for
water quality treatment; however the use of any of the BMPs is encouraged.
9. LID requirements (standard comment):
Low Impact Development (LID) requirements are required on all new or redeveloping
property which includes sites required to be brought into compliance with the Land Use
Code. These require a higher degree of water quality treatment with one of the two following
options:
1. 50% of the newly added or modified impervious area must be treated by LID techniques
and 25% of new paved areas must be pervious.
2. 75% of all newly added or modified impervious area must be treated by LID techniques.
10. Inspection and maintenance (standard comment):
There will be a final site inspection of the stormwater facilities when the project is complete
and the maintenance is handed over to an HOA or another maintenance organization.
Standard operating procedures (SOPs) for on-going maintenance of all onsite drainage
facilities will be included as part of the Development Agreement. More information and links
can be found at:
http://www.fcgov.com/utilities/what-we-do/stormwater/stormwater-quality/low-impact-develo
pment
11. Fees (standard comment):
The 2017 city wide Stormwater development fee (PIF) is $8,217/acre for new impervious
Page 3 of 10
�
area over 350 square feet and there is a$1,045/acre of site review fee. No fee is charged for
existing impervious area. These fees are to be paid at the time each building permit is
issued. Information on fees can be found at:

1. 1. No major environmental planning issues to address as site does not contain nor is within
500 ft of known natural habitats and features as defined by LUC 3.4.1. The following include
standard comments and contacts to follow up with.
2. 2. Note the 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.
3. 3. It appears trees will be impacted thus note LUC 3.2.1(C) requiring developments to submit
a landscape and tree protection plan, and if receiving water service from the City, an
irrigation plan, that: "...(4) protects significant trees, natural systems, and habitat, and (5)
enhances the pedestrian environment.� Note that a significant tree is defined as a tree
having DBH (Diameter at Breast Height) of six inches or more." If any of the trees within this
site have a DBH of greater than six inches, a review of the trees shall be conducted with Tim
Buchanan, City Forester (970-221-6361 or tbuchanan@fcgov.com) to determine the status
of the existing trees and any mitigation requirements that could result from the proposed
development.
4. 4. 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
Page 5 of 10
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)]. For further information
