Please provide a Request for Modification of Standards to the requirement for an 80 foot landscape buffer between building or parking lot edge and I-25 ROW. See Article Two - 2.8 for criteria and requirements for Modifications. - Please consider what additional landscaping on site can be used to make up for lack of 80' buffer on east boundary, as equal to or better than a plan in compliance. RMS Response: A modification request for the landscape buffer width has been submitted with the resubmittal. Landscape plan has been updated to reflect required quantities in 80’ buffer. Comment Number: 7 04/07/2020: BY HEARING: STREETSCAPE DESIGN ALONG FRONTAGE. - See Engineering and Forestry comments for coordination. Please include detached sidewalk and parkway landscaping along frontage, which may warrant a retaining wall on slope. The sidewalk option shown in R2 will need request a variance for an attached walk. Street tree planting is still required with either option. RMS Response: A variance was approve for a 7’ sidewalk with trees within tree grates. Spacing of the grates was approved with the variance. Department: Town of Windsor Planning Contact: Sandra Mezzetti, smezzetti@windsorgov.com Topic: General Comment Number: 1 01/21/2020: INFORMATION ONLY: Thank you for the opportunity to review this development proposal. As you are aware, the proposed development is subject to an intergovernmental agreement (IGA) between the City of Fort Collins and the Town of Windsor, including land use and design standards. The proposed Maverik fuel sales and convenience store is an allowed use per the IGA. DCI Response: Noted Comment Number: 2 01/16/2020: BY HEARING: Please provide additional screening and landscape buffering on the eastern edge of property in accordance with Fort Collins Land Use Code Sec. 3.9.4 RMS Response: A modification request has been submitted for the required buffer width of 80’. The required amount of landscape material has been met with both the existing and proposed landscape. Comment Number: 3 01/16/2020: BY HEARING: Temporary irrigation recommended for seeded areas to encourage establishment. See Forestry comments related to adding existing trees on slope to landscape plan for coordination of City maintenance, watering etc. RMS Response: Please see note #10 of Native seed notes where temporary irrigation has been added. 4 Comment Number: 4 01/21/2020: INFORMATION ONLY: CAC fees will be due with the project: DCI Response: Noted Comment Number: 5 01/16/2020: BY HEARING: This project is subject to revenue sharing DCI Response: Noted Department: Engineering Development Review Contact: Spencer Smith, 970-221-6603, smsmith@fcgov.com Topic: General Comment Number: 3 04/03/2020: BY HEARING - UPDATED: Thank you for adding the typical streets section. Per the LCUASS E-4 checklist, please move the section to the cover page. Also, there is quite a bit of incorrect information on the cover sheet. There are references to Larimer County, which is not the correct jurisdiction. I don't think you have City of Fort Collins benchmarks referenced and no City signature block, etc. (see redlines). 01/17/2020: BY HEARING: Per LCUASS Appendix E-4, please include all applicable signature blocks as well as typical street section on the utility plan cover sheet. DCI Response: Revised the signature blocks. Verified the benchmark is indeed a City of Fort Collins benchmark per CITY OF FORT COLLINS MEMORANDUM DATE: NOVEMBER 2013, from JOHN VON NIEDA PLS, CITY SURVEYOR. Comment Number: 4 04/03/2020: BY HEARING - UPDATED: The frontage road improvements still need some work. What is proposed does not meet City standards for a Major Collector roadway and there is not much information on the existing roadway in the plans (existing width, edge of asphalt, lane striping, etc.). This information will be needed to help lay out the proposed improvements. Their needs to be some discussion between City staff and the applicant team regarding this issue prior to any resubmittal. Please coordinate with the Development Review Coordinator (Brandy) to get a meeting scheduled. If a variance from the City standard street section is going to be proposed, a formal variance request will need to be submitted to the City. Please refer to section 1.9.4 of the Larimer County Urban Area Street Standards (LCUASS) for variance request standards/guidelines, which can be found at the following location: https://www.larimer.org/sites/default/files/ch01_2016.pdf 01/17/2020: BY HEARING: Per conceptual review engineering comment #2, the adjacent frontage road will need to be improved to City collector road standards. The plans need to include the proposed design of these roadway improvements. I believe that the road will be a Major Collector, but please coordinate with me to confirm that prior to adding that to your plans. DCI Response: A variance for the Frontage Rd has been approved for an attached walk Condition to minimize the impact to the existing drainage. Added an additional plan and 5 Profile sheet and cross section sheet. Comment Number: 6 04/03/2020: BY HEARING - UNRESOLVED: Comment not addressed. See discussion on comment #4. 01/17/2020: BY HEARING: The proposed sidewalk at the site access are shown as attached. Attached walk is fine internal to the site, but the City standard calls for a detached walk along the frontage road. When you add the frontage road design to the plans, make sure you are connecting your internal walks to a detached walk. Also, the walk should end at the southern side of the site access. It isn't likely that walk on the north side will ever connect to anything. See redlines. DCI Response: A variance for the Frontage Rd has been approved for an attached walk Condition to minimize the impact to the existing drainage. Removed the sidewalk south of the drive. Added an additional plan and Profile sheet and cross section sheet. Comment Number: 7 01/17/2020: BUILDING PERMIT: There will be a repayment assessed for I-25 and SH 392 interchange improvements. The amount appears to be approximately $19,000 and will be due at time of building permit. The exact amount will be determined at that time by City finance staff. DCI Response: Noted Comment Number: 8 04/03/2020: FOR FINAL PLAN: I would suggest making your text on the notes sheets a bit larger. It looks pretty small and may not be easy to read. DCI Response: Revised the text height on both “General Notes” sheets. Comment Number: 9 04/03/2020: BY HEARING: Please show all of your proposed countours tying into existing contours. We want to make sure that the proposed grading works before moving on to FDP. With the steep grades along the frontage road and the required roadway improvements, this is going to be very important. I'm not sure how the site will work without some retaining walls, so I think we need to make sure we work out the proposed improvements with Engineering, Forestry, Planning, etc. prior to going to hearing, as there could be significant impacts to the site. Please see grading plan for additional grading comments. DCI Response: The contours have been revised to tie off to the existing contours. Comment Number: 10 04/03/2020: FOR FINAL PLAN: Please work with Engineering to dedicate an emergency access easement on the site. This will need to be dedicated by separate instrument during the FDP review and approval. You can find more information regarding the process, deed of dedication template, TDRF application form with fee information, etc. at: https://www.fcgov.com/engineering/devrev.php DCI Response: An Emergency Access Easement has been defined in sheet 12, Fire Access Plan. Department: Traffic Operation Contact: Martina Wilkinson, 970-221-6887, mwilkinson@fcgov.com Topic: General 6 Comment Number: 2 04/07/2020: FOR HEARING - UPDATED: The issue of the potential for an attached sidewalk still needs more detail, a variance request, and justification for the change in standard. 01/21/2020: FOR HEARING: Please work with the Engineering and Planning departments on adjacent street improvements, especially sidewalk connections. DCI Response: A variance for the Frontage Rd has been approved for an attached walk Condition to minimize the impact to the existing drainage. Comment Number: 4 01/21/2020: FOR HEARING / FINAL: We're coordinating with CDOT on their review (for approval / hearing) and needed access permits (for final). DCI Response: Noted Department: Colorado Department of Transportation Contact: Gloria Hice-Idler, , Topic: General Comment Number: 2 04/01/2020: INFORMATION ONLY: We took a look at the site plan that Maverick is proposing in the NW quadrant of I-25 and SH 392. Since the proposed site plan is wholly contained between the frontage road and SB Off-ramp, there is no impact from the I-25 project in this area. The only construction that our project is doing is a tying in the SB off-ramp, but it is significantly further north of the area where this site plan will be constructed. Since CDOT considered a use similar to the Maverik use when permitting this site initially. CDOT has no comment. DCI Response: Noted Department: Stormwater Engineering Contact: Dan Mogen, 970-305-5989, dmogen@fcgov.com Topic: General Comment Number: 2 04/03/2020: FOR HEARING - UPDATED: Clarification is still need about the overall design and updated redlines are provided with additional guidance. The most important items to address are: - overall design - how is runoff from all basins being treated for LID and also conveyed to the detention pond? It appears portions of Basin E particularly are not treated/detained. - sand filter sizing (currently required volumes are not being met) - runoff/detention calculations - detention outfall location - proposed drainage easements for detention pond, sand filter, and outfall/spillway locations. Please contact me to review redlines. 01/17/2020: Clarification is needed on the overall stormwater design including LID facilities and detention basin including outfall locations. Please see redlined drainage report and utility plans which provide additional detail and specific items to be addressed. I encourage you to reach out with any questions or to review potential revisions, and I’d be happy to set up a meeting or conference call to do so. 7 DCI Response: Storm drain system has been detailed in sheet 8. The additional detail includes How the Sand Filters will be conveyed to the pond and how the pond will outlet to the existing Swale along the Frontage Road. The LID calculations for each basin have been revised to Account for the runoff and the treatment accumulated in each basin. Comment Number: 3 04/03/2020: FOR FINAL PLAN - UPDATED: Please provide details on the spill containment system including Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) to be including in the Development Agreement (DA). 01/17/2020: Spill containment for fueling areas must be provided. While called out in the drainage report, it is not clear this is included in the utility plans. DCI Response: The spill containment has been located in the plans and is just west of the North gas pump island. Additional Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) will be provided At the FDP Utility Plan submittal. Comment Number: 4 04/03/2020: FOR FINAL PLAN - UPDATED: Please note the slopes on the sand filters can be vegetated; it is just the bottom/flat sand area that requires regular stripping. 01/17/2020: Please review proposed landscaping for the sand filter areas. Maintenance of these areas requires regular stripping of the top layers of sand; therefore, grasses are not typically appropriate in these areas. For consideration - often the area around the sand filter is heavily landscaped to provide screening for the sand filter area. DCI Response: Noted Comment Number: 5 04/03/2020: FOR HEARING - UPDATED: It is encouraged to follow these guidelines. Please note the section on "Landform and Slopes." 01/17/2020: Please review Fort Collins Landscape Design Standards and Guidelines for Stormwater and Detention Facilities for ideas to potentially incorporate into the design - that document is available at: https://www.fcgov.com/developmentreview/pdf/stormwater_standards_and_guidelines.pdf DCI Response: Noted Comment Number: 6 01/17/2020: INFORMATION: Please note that additional comments may be forthcoming upon future submittals as additional details are discovered.

DCI Response: Noted Department: Environmental Planning Contact: Kelly Smith, , ksmith@fcgov.com 8 Topic: General Comment Number: 1 01/20/2020: BY HEARING: In Fort Collins, prairie dog colonies one (1) acre or greater in size are considered special habitat features (see LUC 5.1 Definitions). In addition, the Land Use Code requires that any prairie dogs inhabiting a site must be relocated or humanely eradicated prior to development activities [LUC 3.4.1(N) (6)]. Mitigation options are based from onsite assessment and include trap and donate; active relocation; passive relocation; or payment in lieu. Please indicate how you intend to mitigate. Response: We will be using Animal & Pest Control Specialist, Inc. to use Fumitoxin pellets to humanely eradicate the prairie dogs. We will do this after October 31 so no risk or need for a burrowing owl survey will be necessary. Comment Number: 2 01/20/2020: FOR FINAL PLAN: Prior to issuance of the Development Construction Permit (DCP), and prior to prairie dog removal, please submit the results of a burrowing owl survey completed by a professional, qualified wildlife biologist, and in accordance with the Division of Parks and Wildlife standards if removal is between March 15 and October 31. Note the timing requirements of these surveys are between March 15 and October 31, as no burrowing owls are expected to be present between November 1 and March 14. This issue is required due to the presence of prairie dogs on the site. Response: Noted Comment Number: 3 01/20/2020: BY HEARING: If this project proceeds in the development review process, at least a concept prairie dog removal plan will be needed prior to Hearing. Response: Noted Comment Number: 4 01/20/2020: FOR FINAL PLAN: Should this project achieve approval and proceed to construction, documentation needs to be provided prior to issuance of DCP (at least one week prior to DCP meeting is ideal) regarding the burrowing owl survey and the removal of black tailed prairie dogs. Documentation should be in the form of a signed letter or memo from the wildlife biologist for the survey, and from the contractor(s) for the relocation (date, time, methods). Response: Noted Contact: Scott Benton, , sbenton@fcgov.com Topic: General Comment Number: 1 04/06/2020: INFORMATION ONLY: Note 1 of the Native Seed Mix Notes of the Landscape Plans state "Prepare soil as necessary and appropriate... through aeration and addition of amendments." A best management practice for establishing native seed mixes is to not apply fertilizer and/or nutrient amendments. Plant species native to the Front Range are adapted to the local nutrient-poor soils; adding fertilizer will hinder native plant establishment and promote weed growth. Please see the Natural Areas Department document entitled "Tips and Techniques on Establishing Native Seed" 9 (https://www.fcgov.com/naturalareas/files/tips-and-techniques-on-establishing-n ative-seed-final-2018-2.pub.pdf?1548444497). RMS Response: These are standard COFC notes, please updated City notes to reflect City’s recommendations. The verbiage on adding amendment has been removed from the note. Comment Number: 2 04/06/2020: INFORMATION ONLY: Drip irrigation is appropriate for tree and shrub plantings but please ensure the native mix area is irrigated with systems that provide 100% head-to-head coverage. Also, please lower irrigation rate for native seed mix areas compared to typical non-native turfs. RMS Response: A note has been added for temporary irrigation to native seed (see comment 3 under Town of Windsor). Irrigation water chart is per City water useage provided. Comment Number: 3 04/06/2020: BY HEARING: A prairie dog removal plan is required to address a number of aspects to satisfactorily meet LUC 3.4.1(N)(6) - which Colorado Parks and Wildlife (CPW) -approved methods will be employed, time of year removal will occur, and measures to prevent re-establishment of the site in addition to burrowing owl surveys. Note that black-tailed prairie dog relocation requires CPW permits (https://cpw.state.co.us/learn/Pages/SOC-Black-tailedPrairieDogPermits.aspx). Response: Noted Comment Number: 4 04/06/2020: INFORMATION ONLY: Bindweed is a persistent noxious weed and is the dominant vegetative cover on site. Additional weed management in the native seed area may be necessary to achieve proper establishment and cover of native species.

Please note that if any additional tree impact is anticipated along the western edge of the property as a result of this discussion, another tree inventory will need to be completed. If a detached sidewalk and parkway option is explored, please note that the parkway width should be at least 7 ft (per LUCASS standards for collector streets). Canopy shade trees should be planted at 30-40’ spacing in the center of the parkway (LUC 3.2.1 (D2)). RMS Response: A variance has been approved for an attached 7’ sidewalk with tree grates. Trees have been shown where grates were approved as shown on plans. 01/15/2020: FOR HEARING: Per engineering comments during the conceptual review phase, this project is responsible for frontage improvements, including curb, gutter, parkway and sidewalk design and construction. For a collector street, there should be a minimum 7-foot parkway with street trees along the frontage. RMS Response: A variance has been approved for an attached 7’ sidewalk with tree grates.
