The site is only required to have one off-street parking space. Please update. 01/02/2020 FOR HEARING: It appears that the same plan was submitted for civil, landscape and site plans. Please remove 'Residential Site & Civil Plan' title. Additionally, the Site and Landscape Plan should be labeled as one. Add a land use table and sheet index as indicated in staff's redlines. The land use table should include the following: Calculated density as required by 4.2(D) and as described under 3.8.18. Single-family parking requirement and proposed calculations. See 3.8.10 and 3.2.2(K)(1)(c). Title and parking density modified on plan 2 Comment Number: 2 Comment Originated: 01/02/2020 06/02/2020 FOR HEARING: The relocation of the building falls within the required 20 foot side-yard setback for the Urban Estate zone district.

If a civil set is ultimately needed, these should be separated. 01/06/2020: for approval: The applicant has provided the same set for both a civil plan set and a site plan. The plan sets need to have slightly different information between the two of them, where the civil plans have a City Utility Plan Approval Block and any appropriate details required by City Utilities. The Owner's Certificate and Planning Certificate would be needed only on the Site Plan.

The City of Fort Collins Land Use Code expressly excludes the use of land for the purpose of delivering water by ditch or canal from the definition of development, provided that it does not create a nuisance.” Note added 1/7/2020: FOR FINAL APPROVAL The exemption to landscape standards provided in Section 3.2.1 is only applicable to single-family detached dwellings on existing platted lots (e.g., single-family detached which only requires a building permit). Because this project is not exempt, an on-site tree inventory is required. Any tree removal planned by the developer/property owner must be mitigated on-site in the form of mitigation trees. Any tree removal completed by the ditch company will not require on-site mitigation and can be excluded from the landscape plan. Prior to the next submittal, please schedule an on-site tree inventory and mitigation meeting with City Forestry. Existing significant trees shall be retained and protected to the extent reasonably feasible. The existing tree inventory and mitigation table (provided by City Forestry) must be included on the next submittal’s landscape plan. Trees proposed to be removed shall be shown with a X over the symbol Trees to be retained should be identified with a unique symbol. X placed over 2 trees to be removed, mitigation trees labeled on plan and in chart as Mxx Please add a note to the Site/Landscape Plan stating the following: “Tree Mitigation requirements as required by 3.2.1(F), Tree Preservation and Mitigation, shall not apply to the boundary of the Pleasant Valley Lake and Canal Company’s easement and shall be excluded from the Limits of Development due to the exclusive right of the ditch company to operate, maintain, alter, enlarge relocate, clean, and manage the ditch. The City of Fort Collins Land Use Code expressly excludes the use of land for the purpose of delivering water by ditch or canal from the definition of development, provided that it does not create a nuisance. Note added Comment Number: 2 Comment Originated: 01/07/2020 6/1/2020: FOR FINAL APPROVAL – UNRESOLVED Continued: Since two trees are being removed, an Existing Tree Removal Feasibility Letter is required. It can be very brief – just outlining the project’s justification for tree removal. Thank you! Tree letter attached 5 1/7/2020: FOR FINAL APPROVAL An Existing Tree Removal Feasibility Letter may be required. Proposals to remove existing trees must provide a justification letter detailing the reason for tree removal. This is required for all development projects proposing significant tree removal regardless of the scale of the project. The purpose of this letter is to provide a document of record with the project’s approval and for the City to maintain a record of all proposed significant tree removals and justifications. Existing significant trees within the project’s Limits of Disturbance (LOD) and within natural area buffer zones shall be preserved to the extent reasonably feasible. Streets, buildings and lot layouts shall be designed to minimize the disturbance to significant existing trees. (Extent reasonably feasible shall mean that, under the circumstances, reasonable efforts have been undertaken to comply with the regulation, that the costs of compliance clearly outweigh the potential benefits to the public or would unreasonably burden the proposed project, and reasonable steps have been undertaken to minimize any potential harm or adverse impacts resulting from noncompliance with the regulation.) Where it is not feasible to protect and retain significant existing tree(s) or to transplant them to another on-site location, the applicant shall replace such tree(s) according to City mitigation requirements. Comment Number: 3 Comment Originated: 01/07/2020 6/1/2020: FOR FINAL APPROVAL – UNRESOLVED Continued: Forestry is required to review and verify all tree-utility separations on the plan.
