Department: Environmental Planning Contact: Kelly Smith, ksmith fcgov.com Topic: General Comment Number: 1 Comment Originated: 08/17/2020 08/17/2020: FOR DISCUSSION Is it possible to move the LID feature closer to the building, as discussed last round? RMS Response: Moving the LID closer would result in a higher wall which is less ideal. Department: Forestry Contact: Nils Saha, nsahaO-fcgov.com Topic: General Comment Number: 1 8/18/2020: FOR HEARING -UPDATED Thank you for clarifying. Comment Originated: 07/07/2020 Forestry would still prefer that no excavation took place 7' from the trunk of this willow. The critical root zone of the willow is estimated to be 27 feet radius from the trunk of the tree, based on the diameter of the tree. The interior critical root zone, in this case, is —13.5'. Any excavation within this area can compromise the structural stability of the tree and significantly damage its damage. Please 4 refer to the diagram in LUC 3.2.1 (G). Moreover, given the root structures of willows, it is very likely that if a concrete edger is placed in that location, it would be lifted and damaged by the roots over time. Is it possible to place the bike parking in this location without the concrete edger? RMS Response: Concrete edger has been removed. 07/07/2020: FOR HEARING Please provide additional notes about the concrete edger proposed —7' from tree #7 (-27" willow). There shouldn't be cut or fill greater 4" in depth within the drip line of existing trees, per Forestry's Tree Protection Standards. RMS Response: Concrete edger has been removed. Comment Number: 9 Comment Originated: 07/08/2020 8/17/2020: FOR HEARING -UPDATED FOR HEARING Thank you for providing the details for the level spreader. Similar to the concrete edger proposed around the bike parking, Forestry has concerns about any excavation or fill —6' from the 25" and 26" cottonwood trees. Beyond what's shown on the detail, are there additional impact anticipated for the installation of the concrete edger? In addition to concerns about root impact, there is a possibility that the spreader may be damaged down the line due to the shallow nature of cottonwood roots. Further coordination with Forestry and Stormwater would be helpful in this case to determine if options exist to minimize root impact and damage to infrastructure. RMS Response: Nils Saha, Ralph Zentz, Basil Hamdan, Matt Simpson, Sam Eliason. and Shelley La Mastra met on site on August 20, 2020 at 8:OOam to discuss. The final plans have been updated to reflect the agreed upon approach of: Sod shall be stripped. 4" thick strip sandstone with rebar anchors on the back side to hold in place shall be placed with a maximum of 4" of fill, no heavy machinery shall be allowed in area other than sod stripper, wheel barrows and hand installation only, curb length to be reduced to middle point of two (2) existing cottonwoods. 07/08/2020: FOR HEARING It appears that there is a proposed curb that's weaving through the trees in the northwest comer near the floodway. Only half of these trees were inventoried. What are the anticipated impacts to the root system with the proposed curb (please provide details regarding extent of excavation, fill etc.)? An additional site visit may be required to inventory any trees that may be potentially impacted. Please note that cut or fill greater than 4" is not permitted within the dripline, per Forestry's Tree Protection Standards. RMS Response: Additional trees were inventoried and added to plans. Details that were provided did adhere to the 4" within dripline. changes were made as indicated above. Department: Stormwater Engineering Contact: Matt Simpson, (970)416-2754, masimpson anfcgov.com Topic: General Comment Number: 10 Comment Originated: 07/06/2020 08/17/2020: FOR HEARING: Please see updated redlines for additional comments. United Civil Response: Drainage and Grading Plans have been updated as requested. 07/06/2020: FOR HEARING: Please see the redlined drainage report and plans for minor comments and clarification of these formal comments. If you have any questions, I encourage you to contact me directly, at masimpson@fcgov.com, to discuss. United Civil Response: Drainage Report has been updated as requested. Comment Number: 11 Comment Originated: 07/06/2020 08/17/2020: FOR HEARING: The updated plans show the level spreader approximately 6-feet from the existing cotton wood trees. This does not meet Forestry's requirements (no disturbance within the "inner critical root zone' which is approximately 13-feet from the tree). Forestry may have other requirements and questions about construction methods. To proceed with the level spreader concept, another focused meeting will be needed with Forestry and Stormwater. 'There may be an alternative way to calculate the width of the level spreader and vegetative buffer- following a MHFD/ UDFCD approach. Please contact me to discuss. United Civil Response: The length of the level spreader has been updated per onsite meeting 8120120. 07/06/2020: FOR HEARING: Level Spreader — You will need to discuss potential impacts to existing trees and critical root zones with Forestry. RMS Response: Nils Saha, Ralph Zentz, Basil Hamdan, Matt Simpson, Sam Eliason, and Shelley La Mastra met on site on August 20, 2020 at 8:00am to discuss. The final plans have been updated to reflect the agreed upon approach of: Sod shall be stripped, 4" thick strip sandstone with rebar anchors on the back side to hold in place shall be placed with a maximum of 4" of fill, no heavy machinery shall be allowed in area other than sod stripper, wheel barrows and hand installation only. curb length to be reduced to middle point of two (2) existing cottonwoods. FOR FINAL - We will want to discuss the design of the level spreader. Comment Number: 12 Comment Originated: 07/07/2020 08/17/2020: FOR HEARING — Provide dimensioning or a volume tabulation (stage -storage) to show the raingarden is providing the designed volume. Label the required footprint area on the plans. United Civil Response: Volume tabulation was emailed to Matt Simpson and is shown in the updated drainage report. 07/07/2020: FOR HEARING: For the rain garden - I would like to see a grading detail and cross section (perpendicular to the building) on the plans. Please delineate and dimension the footprint of the rain garden to show the required storage/ footprint is provided. Please confirm if this rain garden will meet the City's standard rain garden section, or if you will be requesting a modification. Please work with Environmental Planning to satisfy requirements for development construction within the Natural Habitat Buffer Zone (NHBZ). A United Civil Response: A grading detail, cross section with elevations, and footprint of the rain garden has been shown on the plans. Rain Garden will meet the standard rain garden section. FOR FINAL — the rain garden will need a forebay or energy dissipation along with all other required design details. Please consider if the rain garden will need an impermeable liner due to the proximity to the building. United Civil Response: We have included this information on the plans. Please discuss the construction requirements for the raingarden with Floodplain. It appears you will need to work in the floodway to construct. United Civil Response: We have added all the standard notes to the plans concerning work in the floodplain and floodway. No grading improvements are planned within the floodway, but the construction of the walls will require some work within the floodway. A note was added about restoring existing elevations to the original grades on the north side of the proposed walls within the floodway. We have added a construction fence to limit construction activity into the floodway and maintain a safe distance to Spring Creek trail.

ALM2s Response: A virtual pre -submittal conference was completed between Russ Hovland and Chris Freeland from alm2s to review the overall design approach. In addition, an email correspondence between Russ and Brad occurred on 7/8/2020 verifying that the building meets the total allowable area using the mixed use occupancy calculation of A2, B and E occupancies. Russ replied back saying, "Agreed, song we probably already covered this, just wanted to make sure." Comment Number: Comment Originated: 07/06/2020 07/06/2020: INFORMATION: This proposed building with addition will be over allowable area for the existing type of construction and yards. Provide detail of how this will be achieved. ALM2s Response: We actually just stay under the allowable area for a mixed -use occupancy as noted above. We have put these calculations on our code plans that will be submitted as a part of the building permit review submittal. We are anticipating submitting for permit in mid -January 2021.
