Comment Summarv: Department: Engineering Development Review Contact: Spencer Smith, , ssmith@fcqov.com Topic: General Comment Number: 1 Comment Originated: 04/10/2018 Engineering would prefer that the applicant explore all site layout options to allow Lot 1 to access Sunglow Ct., as was previously approved for this filing. If it is determined that the proposed configuration is unable to utilize an access to Sunglow Ct., then a shared direct access to Rock Creek Dr. would be considered. An access to Rock Creek Dr. would have to meet all applicable Larimer County Urban Area Street Standards (LCUASS) for location, spacing, width, etc. Specifically refer to Chapters 7 and 9 for detailed criteria. Variance requests will need to be submitted to Engineering for review and approval. Comment Number: 2 Comment Originated: 04/10/2018 Utility plans will need to be submitted for review and approval by the City as part of this project. Utility plans will need to show proposed driveway locations, existing curb and gutter removals, driveway details, etc., as well as any other public improvements proposed/required with this project (stormwater, etc.). • Comment Number: 3 L� Comment Originated: 04/10/2018 If an access is going to be approved to Rock Creek Dr., the existing Development Agreement (DA) will need to be amended. Currently, the approved DA specifically prohibits driveway access to Rock Creek Dr. Comment Number: 4 Comment Originated: 04/10/2018 The City's Transportation Development Review Fee (TDRF) is due at the time of submittal.

Department: Forestry Contact: Molly Roche, , mrocheC�fcgov.com Topic: Landscape Plans Comment Number: 1 Comment Originated: 04/10/2018 4/9/2018: Thank you for providing the approved landscape plan from 2006. Since then, the City of Fort Collins is not allowing any Ash species to be planted within City Limits and especially not on City right-of-way. The invasive pest, Emerald Ash Borer, will eventuaily reach Fort Collins and kill all untreated Ash trees. In an effort to diversify the urban forest as well as to prevent the removal of more Ash trees, please do not plant Fraxinus pennsylvanica as a part of this development. Please plant an alternative species such as Kentucky Coffeetree or Hackberry in place of the (9) proposed Ash. 4 a • Comment Number: 2 .

Please contact the Building Department to verify. Comment Number: 2 Comment Originated: 04/05/2018 04/05/2018: ACCESS Access is required to within 150ft of all portions of the exterior perimeter of each residence. Driveways built to Fire Lane standards (please see comment 3 below) can be utilized to achieve this access requirement. Part of an out of access condition may be mitigated by the residential sprinkler system with approval of the fire marshal. Comment Number: 3 Comment Originated: 04/05/2018 04/05/2018: FIRE LANE SPECIFICATIONS A fire lane plan shall be submitted for approval prior to installation. In addition to the design criteria already contained in relevant standards and policies, any new fire lane must meet the following general requirements: > Shall be designated on the plat or by separate document as an Emergency Access Easement. > Maintain the required 20 foot minimum unobstructed width & 14 foot minimum overhead clearance. Where road widths exceed 20' in width, the full width shall be dedicated unless otherwise approved by the AHJ. > Be designed as a flat, hard, all-weather driving surface capable of supporting 40 tons. 5 • • > Dead-end fire access roads in excess of 150 feet in length shall be provided with an approved area for turning around fire apparatus. > The required turning radii of a fire apparatus access road shail be a minimum of 25 feet inside and 50 feet outside.

Comment Number: 5 04/05/2018: HYDRANT Comment Originated: 04/05/2018 A hydrant is required within 400ft of a residence. This requirement is met by the hydrant in Sunglow Ct but it is the project team's responsibility to verify adequate water flow and pressure. Department: Stormwater Engineering Contact: Dan Mogen, 970-224-6192, dmogen@fcgov.com Topic: General Comment Number: 1 Comment Originated: 03/26/2018 03/26/2018: The building locations proposed on the site plan encroach into the setback adjacent to Tract A. This tract contains public storm sewer and encroaching into this tract will not be acceptable. Please note that fences, window wells, enhanced landscaping, etc. are not allowable in this 20' tract between lots 1 and 2. Comment Number: 2 Comment Originated: 03/26/2018 03/26/2018: The increased density proposed will increase the amount of impervious area on each lot compared to what was originally planned and approved. Please show how this increase affects the drainage design for this subdivision including how water quality and detention volumes are affected as well as capacities for proposed swales. Is there adequate conveyance capacity and will detention pond modifications be warranted? Comment Number: 3 Comment Originated: 03/26/2018 03/26/2018: I see a note stating that overall site grading will still be in general conformance with the original plan. Even maintaining general conformance, the grading plan will need to be altered to accommodate additional buildings. Please provide an updated grading plan showing how drainage wifl function on each lot. ,:� . � � Contact: Jesse Schlam, 970-218-2932, jschlam@fcgov.com Topic: Erosion Control Comment Number: 4 Comment Originated: 03/30/2018 03/30/2018: The site disturbs more than 10,000 sq. ft. and therefore Erosion and Sediment Control Materials need to be submitted. The erosion control requirements can be located 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. Erosion Control Materials that were accepted for this site prior were based off the old standards, therefore Erosion and Sediment Control Materials need to be reworked and updated to meet the current standards then resubmitted for review. Based upon the area of disturbance, a State permit for discharge of stormwater from construction activity will be required since the site is over an acre and this will need to be pulled before Construction Activities begin. If you need clarification concerning the Erosion Control Material Requirements or Comments presented above please contact myself.
