Comment Summarv: Department: Engineering Development Review Contact: Katie Andrews, 970-221-6501, kandrews@fcqov.com Topic: General Comment Number: 8 Comment Originated: 10/25/2016 12/23/2016: Please label or add the ROW/property line to the legend. Also, I think that the ROW/property line on the site plan doesn't match the proposed ROW dedications. 10/25/2016: Please add a property/ROW line to the site plan. Comment Number: 10 Comment Originated: 12/23/2016 12/23/2016: The traffic memo says that 15 parking spaces will be added on College. The site plan says 12. Also, please add a note to the site plan that clarifies that the new on street parking spaces are not being counted toward the development's parking requirement. Comment Number: 11 Comment Originated: 12/23/2016 12/23/2016: The site plan shows 2 doors swinging open into the ROW on the SE side of the development - it looks like this may be an existing condition for 1 door at Compass cider. We don't want to add any additional doors that swing into the ROW. Contact: Sheri Langenberger, 970-221-6573, slanqenberger@fcgov.com Topic: General Comment Number: 1 Comment Originated: 10/24/2016 10/24/2016: The plans don't indicate what the existing building square footage is and what is the proposed square footage. I need that information on the plans in order to verify/ calculate the TDRFee.

Please contact the City Forester for more information on these trees or to view some local examples. 1. Sucker Punch Chokecherry is a newly released cultivar that has summer purple foliage and does not produce suckers. It's being grown as a single stem tree. 2. Rocky Mountain Glow Bigtooth maple is a western native that is listed as a 25 foot height and 15 foot spread. Western River Birch is an adaptable, native plant. It is very spreading and is listed as 15-20 height and 15-20 feet wide. Typically it will have 8-15 stems. Department: Historic Preservation Contact: Maren Bzdek, 970-221-6206, mbzdek@fcgov.com Topic: General Comment Number: 1 Comment Originated: 11/08/2016: The 7 existing buildings within the project boundary at 200, 216, 242, 264, and 272 N. College Avenue, were reviewed in March 2016 to determine individual eligibility for designation, and all have been determined not eligible. 11 /08/2016 � Comment Number: 2 Comment Originated: 11/08/2016 11/08/2016: This project has the potential to affect several properties that are designated, on the National Register of Historic Places and on the Colorado Register of Historic Properties, as well as Fort Collins Landmarks. The area of adjacency would include the Pine Street buildings between Walnut and Jefferson Street and the Northern Hotel, all which are within the designated Old Town Historic District. Therefore the project would be reviewed for compliance with LUC Section 3.4.7, Historic and Cultural Resources. Comment Number: 3 Comment Originated: 11/08/2016 11/08/2016: The sections of LUC 3.4.7 that will be most relevant are (F)(3), pertaining to use of the dominant building material of historic structures as the primary material for new construction (in this case, brick); and (F)(4), which pertains to maintaining visual and pedestrian connections between the site and neighborhood focal points. Comment Number: 4 Comment Originated: 11/08/2016 11/08/2016: The east elevation of the container shown on the east side of the project will face the Pine Street historic buildings and ideally should be treated as another farade, rather than as a rear elevation, in terms of exterior finishes. What can be seen from the vantage point of Pine Street and Old Firehouse Alley is important in terms of impact on the character of the Old Town District. This may require further discussion with historic preservation staff to explore the options that would mitigate the quantity of steel/metal shown in the current plans. Comment Number: 5 Comment Originated: 11/08/2016 11/08/2016: Will the churn be highly visible from Pine Street, and from what angles? What is the height of the churn? Comment Number: 6 Comment Originated 11/08/2016: On the south building, the use of brick is advantageous in terms of compliance with 3.4.7(F)(3)--primary building materials. While color compatibility is not specifically required in this section, it can help to provide visual ties to important adjacent historic buildings, e.g. the use of white in this area would provide a strong tie to the Northern Hotel. Comment Number: 7 Comment Originated 11/08/2016: Please contact historic preservation staff if a brief ineeting would assist with clarifying the above comments and any additional questions. Comment Number: 7 Comment Originated 11/08/2016: To receive a recommendation to the decision maker regarding the project's compliance with section 3.4.7 of the Land Use Code, the CDNS Director may issue a written determination that the plans would not have a significant impact on the historic area of adjacency. Otherwise, if some impact must be considered, the project should proceed to the Landmark Preservation Commission for the recommendation. Please contact historic preservation staff to set up a brief ineeting to clarify the above comments and determine the next steps regarding this required recommendation. 11 /08/2016 11 /08/2016 11 /08/2016 Department: PFA Contact: Jim Lynxwiler, 970-416-2869, '1lynxwiler@poudre-fire.org Topic: General Comment Number: 6 Comment Originated: 01/04/2017 01/04/2017: TURNING MOVEMENT PFA has not been able to evaluate a vehicle turning movement for the various options of entering and exiting the alley. Comment Number: 7 Comment Originated: 01/06/2017 01/06/2017: WAYFINDING & ADDRESSING As follow up to the staff meeting on 1/4/17, PFA needs the project team to consider the issue of wayfinding and addressing. The creation of a pedestrian plaza with a College address will lead to increased traffic obstructions on a major arterial with regard to emergency response. PFA does not allow fire access from College Ave and an alternative method for access and staging is needed. The question of fire apparatus staging during calls is also in question. A follow up discussion on naming the alley is recommended. Department: Planning Services Contact: Ted Shepard, 970-221-6343, tshepard@fcgov.com Topic: General Comment Number: 3 Comment Originated: 11/02/2016 11/02/2016: A Lighting Plan will be required that specifically address Planning comments 11 -13 of the PDR comment letter. Carried Over: January 4, 2017: There are two fixtures, designated in the Schedule as BB, SLIM26Y and CC, SLIMI2Y, where the Kelvin temperature is not specified. Please specify as not exceeding 3,OOOK. And, I'm not seeing where there is a time where lights will either be dimmed or turned off. With the extent of cafe lighting, these parameters need to be set. Comment Number: 6 Comment Originated: 01/04/2017 01/04/2017: Staff would like to meet with the project team for one final walk-through of the architectural elevations, particularly as these plans relate to the shipping containers and the Churn, prior to submittal of final mylars. Comment Number: 7 Comment Originated: 01/10/2017 01/10/2017: Staff will assist the applicant in naming the alley for addressing purposes. Since the alley is existing public right-of-way, it can be named only by City Council, by Resolution . Department: Stormwater Engineering Contact: Dan Mogen, 970-224-6192, dmogen@fcgov.com Topic: General Comment Number: 3 Comment Originated: 10/25/2016 01/03/2017: Please review the treatment area shown per the redlined report. 10/25/2016: The proposed LID appears to be sufficient; however, please 4 • review the provided exhibit as the treatment area listed seems to be all of Basin A1 and isn't reduced by untreated and pervious areas.
