Contact: Will Lindsey, , wlindsey@fcgov.com Topic: General Comment Number: 1 09/04/2020: FOR HEARING: 3.5.3(C)(2) – Orientation to Build to Lines for Street front Buildings Based on past discussions regarding the build-to requirement staff has considered that the site is eligible for the following exceptions to the standard. Exception 1 can be granted if you further enhance the proposed seating area to the west of the building with permeable pavers over the sand filter, as well as a 3 pedestrian connection down to the detention area further west. Enhancing that detention with additional landscaping and/or customer amenities (such as a dog area) would strengthen the application. If no enhancements can be made than a modification to the standard should be discussed. 1. In order to form an outdoor space such as a plaza, courtyard, patio or garden between a building and the sidewalk. Such a larger front yard area shall have landscaping, low walls, fencing or railings, a tree canopy and/or other similar site improvements along the sidewalk designed for pedestrian interest, comfort and visual continuity. Exception 2 can be granted due to the high traffic volume on Carpenter Rd, the existing landform, and the lack of an established pattern. 2. If the building abuts a four-lane or six-lane arterial street, and the Director has determined that an alternative to the street sidewalk better serves the purpose of connecting commercial destinations due to one (1) or more of the following constraints: a. high volume and/or speed of traffic on the abutting street(s), b. landform, c. an established pattern of existing buildings that makes a pedestrian-oriented street front infeasible. Exception 4 can also be granted due to the larger front yard area required off of the Frontage Rd which includes the 10 ft utility easement. 4. If a larger or otherwise noncompliant front yard area is required by the City to continue an established drainage channel or access drive, or other easement. DCI Response: As discussed in the Intake Meeting on September 8th, amenitizing the detention pond poses significant issues to the potential water quality coming off of the site. We have proposed a seating area adjacent to the building to encourage customers to gather in a safe and inviting atmosphere. Furthermore, exception 4 allows for an exception due to a non-standard requirement at the front of the property. In this particular case, the presence of the CDOT drainage swale between the site and the Frontage Road require additional space between the structure and the traffic which prevents the connection that this standard tries to employ. Department: Engineering Development Review Contact: Spencer Smith, 970-221-6603, smsmith@fcgov.com Topic: General Comment Number: 3 09/08/2020: FOR HEARING - UNRESOLVED: 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). DCI Response: The Larimer County references have been removed. and verified the benchmark is a City of Fort Collins benchmark per CITY OF FORT COLLINS MEMORANDUM DATED: NOVEMBER 2013, from JOHN VON NIEDA PLS, CITY SURVEYOR. Spencer verified by email the City signature block used in the plans as the correct signature block. 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: Spencer verified by email the City signature block used in the plans as the correct signature block. Comment Number: 4 4 09/08/2020: FOR HEARING - UPDATED There are some remaining issues with the proposed frontage road section. 3:1 slopes are not allowed within public ROW. DCI Response: The existing 3:1 slope to the east of the new walk along the Frontage Rd will be preserved and will have minimal disturbance with the addition of a thickened edge to the back of walk. 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 DCI Response: The standard Major Collector street section has been modified to show a 7’ attached walk. Additional roadway information has been added such as striping for existing turning and decel lanes, edge of asphalt on west side of Frontage Rd., existing inlet on SH 392, existing signs, etc. This has been verified by Spencer through emails and phone calls. 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: The street plan and profile has been viewed and verified to now include the proposed design of these roadway improvements. We also discussed the roadway as a Major Collector, and have coordinated with Spencer to confirm that. 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: 9 04/03/2020: BY HEARING: Please show all of your proposed contours 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 grading for the site has been 5 revised, the proposed contours tie in to the existing. A wall has been graded in along the west side of the site between the back of walk and the drainage facilities. Spencer has viewed and confirmed these revisions as being acceptable to his comments. 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: Noted Comment Number: 11 09/08/2020: FOR FINAL PLAN See utility plan sheet 12 of 13 for misc. redlines. DCI Response: Addressed redlines included in plan sheets. Comment Number: 12 09/08/2020: FOR FINAL PLAN The proposed Emergency Access Easement (EAE) will need to be approved and dedicated prior to approval of the FDP. The legal and exhibit will need to be prepared by a licensed Colorado Land Surveyor and submitted to the City for review. The easement should be indicated on your TDRF application and the associated fee paid at time of submittal ($250). DCI Response: Noted Comment Number: 13 09/08/2020: FOR HEARING Please be sure that all existing infrastructure is shown on all plans. The existing storm drain rundown along the west slope is not on every sheet, for example. DCI Response: Verified all infrastructure is being shown on all applicable plans. The west slope storm drain rundown near SH 392 – Frontage Road intersection is being shown in the Site Survey Sheet and the Demo Sheet. All demo features are not represented in the proposed plan sheets. Comment Number: 14 09/08/2020: BUILDING PERMIT Due to the age of the frontage road pavement, there may be increased fees due for the proposed street cuts, due at time of building permit. Please coordinate with me further to determine if this well be the case. DCI Response: Noted Comment Number: 15 09/08/2020: FOR HEARING Contours aren't typically shown on utility plan sheets (7 of 13). If you want to include them, you should be showing proposed grading. It looks like you are just showing existing contours on the utility plan sheet currently. DCI Response: The contours have been removed from the Utility Plan Comment Number: 16 09/08/2020: FOR HEARING See frontage road plan and profile sheet for comments. The slope labels shown there, don't match what is called out on your cross sections. There are also errant labels for contours that aren't shown on the plan, bearings that aren't labeling any linework, etc. DCI Response: The Frontage Road plans have been revised. Added missing linework. Spencer has verified the revised design by zoom meeting and corresponding emails.. 6 Comment Number: 17 09/08/2020: FOR HEARING Please revise the street section on the utility plan cover sheet to show the approved variance on the east side of the frontage road. DCI Response: Street section on cover sheet has been revised to match the proposed 7’ attached walk. Department: Stormwater Engineering Contact: Dan Mogen, 970-305-5989, dmogen@fcgov.com Topic: General Comment Number: 2 09/03/2020: FOR HEARING - UPDATED: Many of the redlines and concerns from the previous round have been addressed; however, there are critical items that have not been addressed including sizing calculations for the sand filters and detention ponds. Please review redlines and contact me to discuss. It would be helpful to discuss the overall plan and intent for how runoff will be conveyed from the sand filters to the detention pond. DCI Response: All calculations have been revised and view by Dan through emails and phone calls to verify his consent to the updated methods. 04/03/2020: 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. DCI Response: The redlines have been addressed and view by Dan through emails and phone calls to verify his consent to the updated methods. Proposed drainage easement has been added to each of the drainage facilities. 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. DCI Response: After contacting Dan through emails and phone calls, the revisions to the LID and stormwater design have been made per his recommendations. Comment Number: 3 09/03/2020: FOR FINAL PLAN: 04/03/2020: 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: Noted, details on the spill containment system including Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) will be provided at Final Plan. 7 Comment Number: 5 09/03/2020: FOR HEARING - UPDATED: The maximum allowable slope on detention pond side slopes and other on site areas is 4:1. Please adjust the site to eliminate slopes greater than 4:1 and provide maintenance access to all stormwater facilities. Please minimize the extent of off-site grading on the slope west of the site. Is it necessary to regrade the entire slope? DCI Response: All proposed 3:1 slopes on site have been revised to be 4:1 or less. 04/03/2020: 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: The Fort Collins Landscape Design Standards and Guidelines for Stormwater and Detention Facilities have been reviewed for ideas to potentially incorporate into the design Comment Number: 7 09/03/2020: FOR FINAL PLAN: Please dedicate easements for sand filters, detention pond, and outfalls. DCI Response: Proposed drainage easements has been added to each of the drainage facilities including sand filters and detention pond. Department: Fort Collins Loveland Water District Contact: Nate Ensley, nensley@fclwd.com Topic: General Comment Number: 1 09/04/2020: FOR HEARING: Please see redlines DCI Response: All redlines have been reviewed and addressed. Department: Light And Power Contact: Cody Snowdon, 970-416-2306, csnowdon@fcgov.com Topic: General Comment Number: 1 01/15/2020: FOR INFORMATION: City of Fort Collins Light and Power currently does not serve the site nor has any electric facilities close to the proposed project to serve it in the future. This site is currently served by Poudre Valley REA. DCI Response: Noted Department: Environmental Planning Contact: Kelly Smith, , ksmith@fcgov.com Topic: General Comment Number: 1 01/20/2020: BY HEARING - UNRESOLVED: 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 8 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. Client Response: Please see attached letter by Animal & Pest Control Specialist for site assessment and mitigation plans. Comment Number: 3 01/20/2020: BY HEARING - UNRESOLVED: If this project proceeds in the development review process, at least a concept prairie dog removal plan will be needed prior to Hearing. Client Response: Noted, Please see attached letter by Animal & Pest Control Specialist for site assessment and mitigation plans. Contact: Scott Benton, , sbenton@fcgov.com Topic: General Comment Number: 3 04/06/2020: BY HEARING - UNRESOLVED: 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). Client Response: Please see attached letter by Animal & Pest Control Specialist for site assessment and mitigation plans. Comment Number: 1 09/04/2020: FOR HEARING - UNRESOLVED: To date no prairie dog removal plan or mitigation measures have been submitted as required by previous comments; those comments have been retained for you to refer back to. To reiterate, active prairie dog colonies >1 acre in size are considered a special habitat feature by the City of Fort Collins and a removal plan and mitigation measures are required [LUC 3.4.1(N)(6)]. A removal plan is required to detail when the removal is expected to occur, results of a burrowing owl survey if removal occurs during the active season (I understand you plan to euthanize outside of the active season), proof that appropriate CPW permits are obtained if necessary, the planned method of removal (Fumitoxin in this case), and what measures will be taken to prevent prairie dogs from re-inhabiting the site. Proof of efficacy of euthanization will also be required. Client Response: Please see attached letter by Animal & Pest Control Specialist for site assessment and mitigation plans. Comment Number: 2 09/04/2020: FOR DCP AND DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT: Mitigation is also required for removal of a prairie dog colony >1 acre. Since euthanization is the desired method of removal then a payment in lieu fee is the required mitigation. The DRC will provide you with a flowchart detailing prairie dog management in Fort Collins during the development review process. The payment in lieu is calculated in coordination with the City's Natural Areas Department (see table below). The payment in lieu is due prior to issuance of the DCP, and the fee and payment mechanism is required to be recorded in the Development Agreement. Note that mitigation requirements may be reduced if 9 more humane forms of fumigation are used (e.g., carbon monoxide or CO/PERC). Currently, the product planned to be used (Fumitoxin) does not meet the 'more humane' specification since it is aluminum phosphide-based. Cost/acre Acres Total Fee No CO/PERC $1,637.00 2.84 $4,649.08 Using CO/PERC $1,337.00 $3,797.08 DCI Response: Please see attached letter by Animal & Pest Control Specialist for site assessment and mitigation plans. Comment Number: 3 09/04/2020: FOR HEARING: Please indicate that luminaire type T-15 is fully shielded. RE: Confirmed luminaire type T-15 is fully shielded. Department: Forestry Contact: Nils Saha, , nsaha@fcgov.com Topic: General Comment Number: 13 09/08/2020: FOR FINAL PLAN: Thank you for adding the street trees along the frontage road. On the south side of the site, the trees are spaced <60’ apart. Is it possible to tighten the spacing closer to 40’ along this stretch? Canopy shade trees should be planted at 30-40’ spacing in the center of the parkway (LUC 3.2.1 (D2)). This would require a couple of additional trees/grates. RMS Response: Additional tree grates have been added at 40’ o.c. Comment Number: 14 09/08/2020: FOR FINAL PLAN: Of the two details provided for tree planting in grate, detail A is preferable. Wires, stakes etc. should be removable and be removed one-two years after tree planting. Please adjust the detail for the tree grate in front of the building. RMS Response: Detail B has been updated to match Detail A. Comment Number: 15 09/08/2020: FOR FINAL PLAN: Sensation boxelders require extensive structural pruning especially early on. These may not be the most suitable species for tree grates along the frontage road. Please substitute with another species. RMS Response: Tree species has been updated to catalpas. Comment Number: 16 09/08/2020: FOR FINAL PLAN: Please see redlines for additional comments about tree placement and tree/utility separation. RMS Response: Dimensions have been added to the plans. Tree grate in plaza will remain at 4’ square for pathway. Trees have been adjusted to provide as much as room from existing trees as possible due to the utility easement constraint. Department: PFA Contact: Jim Lynxwiler, 970-416-2869, jlynxwiler@poudre-fire.org 10 Topic: General Comment Number: 11 09/08/2020: FOR FINAL PLAN: FIRE HYDRANT - Site prep, grading, and foundation work may proceed at any time; however, a functioning fire hydrant is required before vertical construction can proceed. I've made this comment previously but the plans remain vague by indicating, "Proposed fire hydrant by others as part of Frontage Road utility work". Be aware that vertical construction will not be permitted until a hydrant is installed. DCI Response: Noted, proposed fire hydrant will be installed prior to vertical construction. Comment Number: 12 09/08/2020: FOR FINAL PLAN: FIRE LANE SIGNAGE - Please add LCUASS detail #1418 to plan set.

Animal and Pest Control Specialist provides a service of removing nuisance wildlife from commercial and residential properties. We are licensed by the Colorado Division of Wildlife and the Colorado Department of Agriculture. We have over 20 years of experience diagnosing and presenting long-term solutions for your wildlife and general pest problems. Our staff is professional and courteous to your needs. APCS visited the site. I estimated up to 100 holes. We are going to use the PERC machine, which is pressurized carbon monoxide (CO), as the method for removal. An engine creates the CO, pumps into a tank, and then is delivered into a burrow through a hose. The hose is buried with dirt to seal and make sure CO fills the burrow. • We plan to do the treatments after November 1 st , 2020 and complete before March 15 th , 2021. • We maintain records of quantity of burrows treated. • Retreat records will show the effectiveness of the treatment. • Silt fence installation will prevent migration of other colonies moving into treated area Other Considerations: • Treatment scheduled for fall or winter, temperature is a consideration for day of work (must be 45 degrees for the PERC to work properly) If you have any questions, please call.
