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 Utility plan to be revised as needed 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 dnveway 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: 1 Tree list updated 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, Emeraltl Ash
Borer, will eventually 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 al�ative species such as Kentucky Coffeetre�Hackberry
in place of the (9� proposed Ash.

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

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?

conformance with the original plan. Even maintaining general conformance, the
grading plan will need to be altered to accommodate additional buildings.

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 conceming the Erosion Control Material Requirements or
Comments presented above please contact myself. Jesse Schlam (970)
