form, legal description, exhibit/sketch, letter of request) with the first FDP submittal. Contact Tim Dinger (tdinger@fcgov.com, 9702216603) with any questions. 05/18/2022: FOR FINAL:We
are requiring E Vine Drive to have a minimum of 42 feet of rightofway (ROW) on the north side of the road. If you are seeking to vacate ROW on the west end of E Vine Dr. to reduce the
total ROW from 50 feet to 42 feet, ROW vacation information can be found at https://www.fcgov.com/engineering/devrev.Comment Number: 9 08/22/2022: FOR HEARING UPDATED:The
developer is responsible for reconstructing the sidewalk ramp on the south side of Vine Drive to meet ADA standards. Both ramps are also used by XCEL and/or the City for maintenance
entrances,therefore the ramps on both sides of the crosswalk will need to be access rated for 40,000 lbsin order to accommodate larger maintenance vehicles. Response: A ramp was added
to the plans on the south side of Vine Drive, as requested, and notes were added on the Site Plan about the ramp being rated for 40,000 lbs. Cost responsibility will be discussed during
October 4th meeting.07/07/2022: FOR HEARING:Please include the crosswalk across E. Vine Drive with the next submittal. The Developers of this property will be responsible for the installation
of this crosswalk, including the Rectangular RapidFlashing Beacons (RRFB), since the minimum "level of service" (LOS) for this crosswalk requires the RRFB's.Comment Number: 11
07/27/2022: FOR FINAL:The storm sewer outlet pipe that crosses Vine Drive to the south does not meet the minimum depth requirement for utilities as stated in LCUASS. Please provide
a variance request for this pipe if you cannot meet the minimum depth of 2.0 feet. The variance request should include a structural analysis of the pipe, signed and sealed by a professional
geotechnical engineer registered in the state of Colorado. The variance request must be completed prior to final plan approval. Once the variance request is approved, it must be listed
under note #48 in the general notes on sheet CS2.Department: Traffic OperationContact: Nicole Hahn, 9702216820, nhahn@fcgov.comTopic: GeneralComment Number: 9 09/12/2022:
FOR HEARING - UNRESOLVED:05/17/2022: FOR HEARING:These plans should be showing all improvements recommended/warranted in the TIS. This includes a pedestrian crossing treatment at Jerome/Vine.
Please provide a recommended solution for staff to evaluate. This may also take some coordination with the City regarding the interim improvements at this intersection to ensure what
is proposed will work with those improvements.Response: The crosswalk and flashing beacons are shown in the plans on sheet PV1. This will be further detailed as part of final when a
roadway striping plan is required.Cost responsibility will be discussed during October 4th meeting.Comment Number: 10 09/12/2022: FOR FINAL PLAN:05/17/2022: FOR HEARING:I believe
that this project will require an access permit from CDOT. The applicant should be working with CDOT on this application, along with the proposed College Ave. access that may conflict
with the CDOT long range access control plan for this area.Department: Stormwater FloodplainContact: MARSHA HILMESROBINSON, , Topic: Drainage ReportComment Number: 19
09/06/2022: FOR HEARING – UNRESOLVED:08/02/2022: FOR HEARING – UNRESOLVED:For discussing the Whitewater Park LOMR in the drainage report, see comments regarding the Plat and documenting
the Whitewater Park LOMRs case numbers and dates. 05/16/2022: FOR HEARING: Please discuss the Whitewater Park LOMR and subsequent corrected LOMR. Please use an updated floodplain map
from the latest LOMR.Response: The LOMR case numbers are listed in the drainage report as requested. We have also attempted to include all the various notes that were sent via email.
Please note that some of the requested notes referred to the variance that is no longer being requested, so we have done our best to incorporate that development into your requests.Topic:
FloodplainComment Number: 3 05/16/2022: FOR FINAL PLAN:Elevation of all items that require flood protection must be shown on the plan. Items to include: Transformer, Yards,
EV Charging stations, Solar panel components, monument signs, elevator, HVAC, Geothermal tank, other electrical and mechanical, etc.. Include specific elevations for each.Comment Number:
4 05/16/2022: FOR FINAL PLAN:Include a table that has the following information for each item Effective BFE, RFPE, structure elevation, and freeboard. If floodproofed instead
of elevated (Ex. Geothermal tank), then please note how and who will certify.Comment Number: 9 05/16/2022: INFORMATION ONLY: Note 5 – We can discuss how many floodplain permits
will be required.Comment Number: 11 05/16/2022: FOR FINAL PLAN: Note 7 – We need to discuss how to deal with construction equipment and materials because the no floatables
also applies to the Poudre River flood Fringe not just the floodway. Let’s discuss timing of construction, storage options, etc.Comment Number: 21 09/06/2022: FOR HEARING –
UNRESOLVED:05/16/2022: FOR HEARING REPEAT/UNRESOLVEDDiscuss compliance with Floodplain criteria – Ex. elevation (table from on plans), floatable materials and anchoring, ERPP, geothermal
components and floodproofing, etc.Response: Page 4 of the drainage report includes the table from the floodplain exhibit showing required floodplain elevations along with the specific
elevations. We have also added notes about anchoring (Note 4). No geothermal is proposed. Reference to the floodproofing requirements is in Note 2.Comment Number: 23 09/06/2022:
FOR HEARINGThe Floodplain Variance needs to be reviewed and approved by the Water Commission prior to P&Z Hearing since the use (hazardous material critical facility) is prohibited
in the 100year floodplain.Response: Per communications with Marsha, a variance is no longer needed and Water Commission approval is no longer required. Topic: PlatComment Number: 1
09/06/2022: FOR HEARING – UNRESOLVED:08/01/2022: FOR HEARING UPDATED/UNRESOLVED: The note on the plat needs to reference the Whitewater Park LOMRs as the source of the floodplain
linework in addition to the Original Map panel. Please include the FEMA Case number and effective date of the LOMRs. There are two LOMRs the second one corrected the zoning for the
islands on the map. The map is not clear that the entire site is in the 100year floodplain it seems to show the island is the part that is in. Please clarify through notes about
the areas that are in the various Floodplain Zones. Also, the Zone X Shaded is due to the 500year floodplain not due to levee. Response: Please see the notes that are included on the
plat under “Notes at the Request of the City of Fort Collins”05/16/2022: FOR HEARING: The floodplain line is not correct. Please see Poudre Whitewater Park LOMR and subsequent corrected
LOMR (to fix the islands) for the most up to date linework. Please include a note with the map panel info.Department: Stormwater EngineeringContact: Matt Simpson, (970) 4162754,
Civil Engineer IIITopic: GeneralComment Number: 5 08/30/2022: FOR HEARING – NOT ADDRESSED:Your response to this comment is noted. We will wait for the LOI from the Lake
Canal Ditch company. Lake Canal will be required to sign theUtility Plans and Plat, please add these signature blocks.Response: Lake Canal signature blocks have been added to the utility
plans and plat. As noted previously, the ditch company has indicated that they do not want to sign the utility plans.Lake Canal emailed a letter of intent to the City and we received
email confirmation from Brandy and Matt Simpson that it meets the City’s needs.07/26/2022: FOR HEARING: Your response to this comment is noted. However, an LOI from the Ditch Company
will still be required as condition of going to Hearing for this project.05/17/2022: FOR HEARING:The Lake Canal Ditch Company appears to have an easement on this property. As a result,
the Ditch Company will need to approve the final plans. Please add a ditch company signature block to cover sheet. For Hearing you will need to obtain a Letter of Intent (LOI) from
the Ditch.**In addition, the proposed bridge crossing over Lake Canal will require theirapproval. Please contact Lake Canal early to discuss requirements.Comment Number: 6
09/06/2022: FOR INFORMATION ONLY:I saw your response to the round 1 comments. Please note that as designed, the natural bottom detention pond at 0.8% slope will not dry out well and
may become a maintenance problem for the site owner. I strongly suggest an underdrain (soft pan) to prevent this. Please see the FCSCM Ch 8, Section 3.1 for more information.Response:
We appreciate staff’s concern about the ditch bottom, but the ownership group and the design team are comfortable with the maintenance that goes along with the current design.05/17/2022:
Please consider increasing the detention pond bottom slope to 2%. This would not require a concrete drainage pan. At 0.5%, as designed, the pond will require a concrete drain pan.Comment
Number: 7 09/12/2022: FOR HEARING – UPDATED: The updated storm design and profile will need further revisions to be workable. The City will not accept an inverted siphon
design. The design will need to provide 18inches of vertical separation to meet criteria or apply for a variance. We are willing to approve a variance for 12inches of vertical separation.
I recognize this is a difficult situation. You will need to revise the proposed design and submit to us the best you can accomplish for further discussion. The Engineering Dept. may
need to issue a variance for less than minimum cover. Please consult with Engineering on minimum allowable cover and any additional requirements. Response:We have included an updated
storm plan and profile for the pond outlet that utilizes two 12” outlet pipes from the east end of the pond. We have also added a second outlet structure that uses the existing 12” pipe
at the west end of the pond that will provide a secondary outlet from the pond in larger events.08/30/2022: FOR HEARING – UPDATED:On the storm profile, add the existing water and sewer
crossings. If the water main depth is unknown it can be assumed for PDP, pothole verified for FDP.07/26/2022: FOR HEARING: A profile of this pipe has been provided; however, the shallow
pipe depth needs to be reviewed/approved by Engineering first, and then if approved at this depth, the pipe material needs to be discussed with the WFO group..05/17/2022: FOR HEARING:Provide
a profile drawing of the proposed storm main crossing E Vine Drive.Comment Number: 10 09/12/2022: FOR HEARING – UPDATED: FOR HEARING – UPDATED: Thank you for providing the
exhibit showing depth to groundwater under the detention area. Based on our understanding, most of the detention pond bottom will be less than 2feet to groundwater and about half of
the area will be less than 1foot. Based on this the pond design will need to be revised. The northern rain garden also does not have 2feet of separation from groundwater to bottom
of LID cross section, this design will need to be revised also. We understand that these situations may need a depthtogroundwater variance. As such, please revise your design with
the following guidelines in mind:A)Use the highest measured groundwater elevation.B)Provide 18inches (min.) of vertical separation. (We might be willing to consider 12inches in the
immediate vicinity of the outlet structure – however this would need to be discussed further with a specific plan presented to us for consideration.)C)Increase the pond bottom slope,
or provide an underdrain (soft pan)D)Apply for a variance to criteria (see attached form).Response: The bottom of the pond has been raised by approximately 15”. This change results in
more than half of the pond being at least 2’ above groundwater, and most being at least 18” above groundwater. There is a small area near the outlet that will be approximately 14” above
groundwater. The applicant has provided an updated groundwater exhibit illustrating this update.
A variance request is included with the submittal.08/30/2022: FOR HEARING – UPDATED: We will need to have a focused follow up discussion on the groundwater depth before the next submittal.
Any separation, between pond bottom and groundwater, less than 2feet will require a variance. For follow up, please provide the measured groundwater elevation and compare to the detention
pond bottom and to the bottom of the LID cross sections.07/26/2022: FOR HEARING: Please provide groundwater information from the recently installed monitoring well. This information
will need to be provided in the drainage report. Please note that if groundwater levels are within 2’ of the detention pond or rain gardens, then the grading plan will need to be modified
to accommodate the groundwater depth.05/17/2022: FOR HEARING:The drainage report needs to discuss depth to groundwater below the proposed raingardens and detention pond bottom elevations.
The groundwater levels, taken during the high groundwater months (July – Sept), need to be documented at 2feet or greater below the pond and LID features.Comment Number: 14
08/30/2022: FOR FINAL UPDATED: Near the proposed storm outfall, south of Vine Drive, show the existing topography and proposed grading on the design drawings and profile.Comment
Number: 15 08/30/2022: FOR HEARING:Vine Drive Storm Drain Crossing:a.The proposed storm drain crossing of Vine Drive will need to be reconfigured. Utilities does not want
to have parallel storm pipes. Please tie into an existing inlet in Vine Drive or reconstruct at a flatter slope if necessary. (ADDRESSED)b.The proposed storm drain work south of Vine
Drive will be on City property and will require a LOI from the City before Hearing and a temporary construction easement (TCE) for final approval.c.Please note there is a snout in the
inlet on the south side of vine. This is a water quality inlet.d.Regarding the proposed valley pan inlet, on the north side of Vine Dr. – Utilities would like this to be a curb combo
inlet and not an area inlet. Please relocate to the curb gutter and propose a combination curb inlet. (ADDRESSED)Response: BHA communicated with Aaron Wagner in Parks and requestedletter
of intent. Northern Engineeringalsosent an exhibit to Parks showing the proposed storm pipe in the whitewater park. The last communication received from Aaron Wagner said their legal
team is reviewing the letter. We will forward the letter to Brandy and Matt after receiving it.Comment Number: 16 09/12/2022: FOR FINAL PLAN – UPDATED:The drainage easement
for the northern rain garden needs expand to include the top elevation of the rain garden.08/30/2022: Round 1 redline comments from Water Utilities regarding the Plat do not appear
to have been addressed. Please add public drainage easements around all detention ponds, water quality facilities (including rain gardens) and along the pipes connecting these facilities.Comment
Number: 17 09/12/2022: FOR HEARING:08/30/2022: FOR HEARING: See round 3 redlines with the final comment letter.Response: Redlines have been addressed.Comment Number: 18
08/30/2022: FOR FINAL PLAN: Do not use riprap unless necessary, the FCSCM directs using other approaches for scour protection – such as scour stop, TRMs, and forebays.Comment
Number: 20 09/06/2022: FOR FINAL PLAN: I see that there are permeable pavers being installed at 2 areas on the site but are not used as formal LID to meet City requirements.
This is acceptable, however please note that pavers installed for the purposes of lowering impervious area quantity must follow a design cross section and should have an underdrain.
In this situation the design XS does not need to be the City’s LID section.Department: WaterWastewater EngineeringContact: Matt Simpson, (970) 4162754, Civil Engineer IIITopic:
GeneralComment Number: 1 08/30/2022: FOR HEARING – NOT ADDRESSED:I recognize your response. We will wait for a Letter of Intent from the owner of the northern property (Jerome
Street Station development) before scheduling a Hearing.Response: Black Timber Builders’ letter of intent was emailed to the City and we received email confirmation from Brandy that
it meets the city’s needs.07/26/2022: FOR HEARING:Please provide LOI from property owner as a condition of going to hearing.05/17/2022: FOR HEARING:The proposed offsite sewer main will
require an easement and agreement from that property owner. A Letter of Intent (LOI) from this property owner will be required before Hearing.Comment Number: 3 09/12/2022:
FOR FINAL PLAN– UPDATED: Thank you for the updated sewer profile. Please see redlines for revisions for final design. This includes increasing pipe size to 12inch, providing a 0.2’
drop on upstream end, and matching crowns on downstream end.09/06/2022: Please update the offsite sewer profile to match crowns at the downstream end. Will the proposed pipe meet the
minimum slope requirements (10 inch, min. So = 0.28%)?05/17/2022: Provide a profile drawing the proposed offsite sewer main.Comment Number: 7 05/17/2022: FOR FINAL PLAN:All
sewer services will need to be located and shown on the plans. All existing services, not to be reused, will need to be abandoned at the main.Comment Number: 8 05/17/2022:
FOR FINAL PLAN:The initial FDP submittal will need to include separate irrigation service(s) for the site. Separate irrigation service is required due to recent changes to Fort Collins
Utilities Water Supply Requirements (WSR) and Plant Investment Fees (PIF). Please ensure the FDP submittal includes:Preliminary Irrigation Plan (PIP) – plan requirements can be found
at: www.fcgov.com/WCS.Please contact Irrigation Development Review (irrigation@fcgov.com) with questions regarding the required PIP.Water budget (annual usage) and peak flow (gallons
per minute) for each irrigation service. Note: this information should be included on the PIP.Landscape Plan including hydrozone table updated with 2022 values – 3, 8, 14, and 18 gallons/square
foot/year for very low, low, medium, and high zones, respectively.Water Need Form – form is available at: www.fcgov.com/WFFPlease contact Utility Fee and Rate Specialists (UtilityFees@fcgov.com
or 9704164252) with questions regarding the Water Need Form.Irrigation service(s), including curb stop and meter location, shown on the Utility and Site Plans. Irrigation service location(s)
must match information on the PIP.On Oct. 5, 2021 Council adopted changes to Fort Collins Utilities Water Supply Requirements and Plant Investment Fees. In general developments that
use more water may pay more and developments that use less water may pay less. These changes were implemented 1/1/2022; more information can be found at: www.fcgov.com/wsrupdateComment
Number: 9 05/18/2022: FOR FINAL PLAN: The initial FDP submittal will need to include a water service and meter sizing calculation using the AWWA M22 method. This should include
a cover memo summarizing the calculation and service sizing results with the calculations attached.Comment Number: 11 09/06/2022: FOR INFORMATION ONLY – UPDATED: The proposed
offsite sewer main appears to have a portion within the Lake Canal Easement. Please see redlines for clarification.07/22/2022: Please confirm that the offsite sewer main north of Lake
Canal is not located within the Lake Canal Easement. It is hard to tell by looking at the Utility Plan.Comment Number: 13 09/07/2022: FOR FINAL PLAN UPDATED:Based on discussion
– this is changed “to Final”. Please do not have a bend or clean out in the rain garden.08/30/2022: The sewer service is under a rain garden. The rain garden or sewer service will
need to be relocated to avoid this conflict.Comment Number: 14 09/12/2022: FOR HEARING – UPDATED:Based on further discussion there is not space to locate a 3inch water meter
vault in the plaza at this location. The vaults require 4feet min. separation to adjacent structures and retaining walls. Please relocate the 3inch water meter and service and the
fire line to a new location. Options might include the College Avenue water main or Jerome Street water main. (Note that previously we requested that you not service water from College
Ave, however this was a preference and not a requirement)08/30/2022: FOR HEARING: Water meters may not be located in the public utility easement on the north side of Vine Drive. A
different location will need to be determined for the water meters. Additionally, water services should not be routed under a rain garden, this conflict will need to be resolved.Response:
The water meter and fire service have been moved back to the west side of the building, where they were originally proposed. Careful attention has been paid to the existing electrical
facilities in that area as well as existing trees to avoid conflicts and maintain separations. New tree locations were adjusted on the landscape plans to provide the required offsets.Comment
Number: 15 09/12/2022: FOR HEARING – UPDATED:Revise sheet OU1 to show proposed 30foot easement.Response: The label has been updated to match the linework that was shown.08/30/2022:
FOR HEARING: The proposed utility easement along the proposed offsite sewer main is shown as 20feet wide, this needs to be increased to 30feet utility easement width to meet standards.Comment

Environmental PlanningContact: Scott Benton, (970)4164290, sbenton@fcgov.comTopic: GeneralComment Number: 13 09/06/2022: (REPEAT) FOR FINAL PLAN: The restoration plan
is typically separate from the landscape plan as it is more comprehensive and is included as an exhibit in the Development Agreement with an abbreviated version on the landscape plan
itself. Some guidance documents have been provided to the DRC, and an example plan can be provided if needed but each plan should be tailored to the site/situation. I am happy to meet
with you and/or your consultant if needed. A restoration plan will be needed for this project prior to final approval. The plan should address all elements of restoration (weed management
prior to, during, and following construction, soil handling practices, seed mixes and recommended planting species, etc.), an adaptive management approach with solid lines of communication
to inform management practices, and a minimum of three years of monitoring. The ECS provides a rough basis for the restoration plan. Additionally, abbreviated versions of the restoration
and its key elements (including weed management) will need to be included on the landscape plan.Comment Number: 14 09/06/2022: (REPEAT) FOR FINAL PLAN:Language regarding the
protection and enhancement of the Natural Habitat Buffer Zone will be included in the Development Agreement for this project. A security will need to be provided prior to the issuance
of a Development Construction Permit that accounts for the installation and establishment of the Natural Habitat Buffer Zone. Prior to the FDP approval please provide an estimate of
the landscaping costs for the Natural Habitat Buffer Zone, including materials, labor, monitoring for a minimum of three years, weed mitigation and irrigation. We will then use the approved
estimate to collect a security (bond or escrow) at 125% of the total amount prior to the issuance of a Development Construction Permit.Comment Number: 19 09/06/2022: (REPEAT)
FOR FINAL PLAN: The species of the trees, shrubs, and perennials to be planted in the NHBZ will need to be specified.Comment Number: 20 09/06/2022: FOR HEARING: Similar to
meeting the quantitative buffering requirements, additional measures can be taken to further reduce and mitigate the light spillage into the Lake Canal NHBZ. Such measures could include
shielding, timers, motion sensors, etc. and specifying those measures on the lighting/photometric plan set.Response: on September 20th BHA emailed a revised photometric lighting plan
to Scott Benton and Clark Mapes for review. Scott Benton’s reply in an email dated 9/21/2022 said the revised lighting plan “looks good to me.”Department: ParksContact: Aaron Wagner,

FOR HEARING UPDATED:Thank you for the additional information in your response letter. Please plan to have to include some type of authorization letter from the Ditch Company prior
to hearing if the trail will fall within the ditch easement. 05/17/2022: INFORMATION: A trail easement may not be located within a ditch easement unless the applicant provides written
approval for the trail easement within the ditch easement from the ditch company. In reviewing the plans, it does not appear that the trail connection extends into a ditch easement.

FINAL PLAN UPDATED:An alternative method request for Aerial Access was submitted to the Fire Marshal on 6/6 for approval.
Response: The alternative methods will be further reviewed and approved at time of building permit, as per Marcus Glasgow05/16/2022: FOR HEARING:should this be changed to “FOR FINAL
PLAN”?AERIAL FIRE APPARATUS ACCESSBuildings over 30' in height trigger additional fire lane requirements in order toaccommodate the logistical needs of aerial apparatus (ladder trucks).
The intent of the code is to provide for rescue operations and roof access via ladder trucks when ground ladders cannot reach upper floors. Aerial access should therefore be available
on at least one long side of the building, located within a minimum of 15 feet and a maximum of 30 feet from the building or as otherwise approved by the fire marshal. Aerial fire apparatus
access roads shall have a minimum unobstructed width of 26 feet, exclusive of shoulders, in the immediate vicinity of the building or portion thereof. Dead end access roads shall have
a minimum width of 30 ft. Parapet heights greater than 4' in height do not support ladder truck operations.The EAE drive aisles in the parking lot are only dedicated 20 feet wide and
cannot be counted as aerial access. Vine Drive and the turnout along Vine arelocated beyond 30 feet from the face of the building.Comment Number: 4 05/16/2022: FOR FINAL
PLAN:PREMISE IDENTIFICATION: ADDRESS POSTING & WAYFINDING Where possible, the naming of private drives is usually recommended to aid in wayfinding. New and existing buildings shall be
provided with approved address identification. The address identification shall be legible and placed in a position that is visible from the street or road fronting the property. Address
identification characters shall contrast with their background. Address numbers shall be arabic numbers or alphabetical letters. Numbers shall not be spelled out. The address numerals
for any commercial or industrial buildings shall be placed at a height to be clearly visible from the street. They shall be a minimum of 8 inches in height unless distance from the street
or other factors dictate larger numbers. Refer to Table 505.1.3 of the 2018 IFC as amended. If bronze or brass numerals are used, they shall only be posted on a black background for
visibility. Monument signs may be used in lieu of address numerals on the building as approved by the fire code official. Buildings, either individually or part of a multi building complex,
that have emergency access lanes on sides other than on the addressed street side, shall have the address numbers and street name on each side that fronts the fire lane.Comment Number:

general comments from Lake Canal are that our easement which is prescriptive in nature, is 50 feet on each side of the ditch measured from the centerline of the ditch or otherwise, 100
feet in total and may not be obstructed, crossed or encroached upon without first entering into a legal agreement to do so. Access to the ditch may not be obstructed in any way. General
maintenance on the ditch and ditch easement may require burning, spraying and/or the use and access of heavy machinery. I request the developer provide Lake Canal a list of the proposed
ditch crossings or any encroachments to the ditch or ditch easements including the trail and pedestrian crossing over the ditch, and provide more detailed plans for each of these items.Response:
As requested in the Lake Canal’s LOI, a curb cut access is provided on the west side of Jerome Street south of the canal for access over the small portion of the Jerome Street Trail
located in the easement (see Site Plan and Civil Plans).A 15’ wide unobstructed drivable area is also provided along the south side of the canal as requested, within the Lake Canal easement.Department:
Street OversizingContact: Marc Virata, 9702216567, mvirata@fcgov.comTopic: GeneralComment Number: 1 07/26/2022: INFORMATION UPDATED:The response indicated that additional
discussion would be needed. I researched what was previously done with the City's Whitewater property and TCEF reimbursement for the parking on the south side was provided. To not be
inconsistent, this would be extended to the development as well. 05/17/2022: INFORMATION:The additional width for parking along Vine (if allowed) would not be reimbursable through the
TCEF Program. Reimbursement would be limited to oversizing the walk and parkway along Vine from local to minor arterial standards.Department: Water ConservationContact: Eric Olson,
