Department: Zoning Issue Contact: Gary Lopez Topic: Zoning Number: 18 Created: 8/ 23 / 2007 [8/23/07] No issues This development proposal has been placed on the scheduled Planning & Zoning Board public hearing agenda for September 20, 2007. There are several items that need to be addressed with City departments before the hearing. Please work with them directly in a timely manner. No formal re -submittal is necessary before the P8&Z hearing; however, be sure and return all red -lined plans when you submit plans for final review, after the hearing and before recording. Page 4 Number: 12 Created: 8 / 22 / 2007 [8/22/071 After discussion with Transportation staff, the sidewalk along Rule Drive should provide an access ramp and terminate behind the cul-de- sac bulb as shown on the horizontal control plan of the construction drawings. We can consider other design alternatives to the sidewalk termination if this proves to be problematic. Number: 15 Created: 8 / 22 / 2007 [8/22/07] Please show proposed street patching repair limits. Number: 16 Created: 8 / 23 / 2007 [8/22/07] As a heads -up, there will be a TDRF final compliance fee of $1,000 with the re -submittal after the public hearing. Number: 26 Created: 8 / 23 / 2007 [8/23/07] Technical Services has the following comments: 1. Boundary closure could not be checked, boundary curve data is missing. 2. Note how Lemay Avenue was dedicated. 3. Additional comments upon providing additional information. Topic: Plat Number: 2 Created: 8/ 21 / 2007 [8/21/071 Please define "U&AE" in the plat legend (presumably Utility and Access Easement). Department: Light & Power Issue Contact: Doug Martine Topic: Electric Utility Number: 1 Created: 8/ 15/2007 [8/ 15/07] If the electric service is to be 3 phase, the transformer location shown on the utility plan will need to be changed. Three phase transformers must be located within 10 feet of an all-weather surface accessible to electric line trucks. The location shown is acceptable if the electric service is single phase. The developer will need to coordinate power requirements and complete a Commercial Service (C-1) form. This form is available from Light & Power Engineering at 221-6700. Department: PFA i Issue Contact: Carte Dann Topic: Fire i Number: 13 Created: 8/ 22 / 2007 [8/22/071 EMERGENCY ACCESS EASEMENT: Please coordinate fire lane location, as well as signs and curb paint, with Carie Dann. Department: Traffic Operations Topic: Traffic Number: 17 Issue Contact: Ward Stanford Created: 8/23/2007 Page 3 Y Number: 23 Created: 8/24/2007 [8/24/07] Please do not show the existing trees on the Site Plan. Existing trees to be removed and existing trees to remain and be protected must be shown on the Landscape Plan. Number: 25 Created: 8 / 24 / 2007 [8/24/07] In an appropriate location in the Statement of Planning objectives, please add a brief discussion about how the applicant/developer sees the exception to the "build -to" line requirement, per Section 3.5.3(B)(2)(d)1, being met with the proposed Pedestrian Plazas. Department: Engineering Issue Contact: Marc Virata Topic: General Number: 3 Created: 8 / 21 / 2007 [8/21/071 The curb return radius for the driveway out to Rule Drive appears to be close to 30'. LCUASS Table 8-2 shows that a 15' radius is required. The larger radii could perhaps be supported as part of a variance request provided information is shown (such as turning template movements for large vehicles) that would warrant the increase. Number: 9 Created: 8 / 22 / 2007 [8/22/071 The Larimer County Urban Area Street Standards has been updated as of 4/ 1/07. The construction drawing details will need to be updated accordingly. Among the notable changes is that high volume driveways require the installation of truncated domes. Please update all LCUASS details to the current standards. Number: 10 Created: 8 / 22 / 2007 [8/22/07] Please add this sentence to the end of General Note #42 on sheet 2 of the construction drawings: "The limits of the repairs will be identified in the field by the City Engineering Inspector prior to and over the course of the project and will not be shown on the plans." Number: 11 Created: 8 / 22 / 2007 [8/22/07] The sidewalk along Rule Drive should be 5' in width detached from the curb and gutter, not 4.5' and not attached around the cul-de-sac bulb. This is in keeping with our commercial local street cross section of a 5' sidewalk and also matches the sidewalk width and detachment around the cul-de-sac bulb done with the Sterling House project to the north. The response letter indicated the use of a connector local cross-section, I'm of the view that the commercial local cross-section is more of what the road is built to and functions as, given the uses.

Date: 8/27/2007 c/o Jerod Huwa, Angie Milewski 1603 Oakridge Drive Fort Collins, CO 80525 Staff has reviewed your submittal for COLLINWOOD NORTH, MAJOR AMENDMENT - TYPE 2, and we offer the following comments: ISSUES: Department: Current Planning Issue Contact: Steve Olt Topic: General Number: 19 Created: 8/24/2007 [8/24/071 Rick Lee of the Building Department is forwarding a copy of the Codes and Standards that will apply to this development. Also, please schedule the Required Pre -submittal Code Review Meeting. Number: 21 Created: 8/24/2007 [8/24/07] Bonnie Ham of the U.S. Postal Service indicated that the developer must provide mail receptacles for all potential tenants at an agreed upon location. Topic: Landscape plan Number: 20 Created: 8/24/2007 [8/24/071 Tim Buchanan, the City Forester, has indicated that there are 2 species of trees being used on the Landscape Plan that are not adapted to the soils in the Fort Collins area. They are the Northern Red Oak and Swamp White Oak. He is suggesting that the applicant use Burr Oak and Chinkapin Oak as substitutions. Number: 24 Created: 8/24/2007 [8/24/07] The trees along South Lemay;Avenue are definitely sufficient to satisfy the street tree requirement. It looks like the trees along Rule Drive are OK, also. Therefore, the proposed 4 new deciduous trees in the parkway along Rule Drive near the intersection with south Lemay Avenue are the only new trees needed to satisfy the street tree requirement. Topic: Site Plan Number: 22 Created: 8/24/2007 [8/24/071 Under the LAND USE DATA it shows Max. Building Height Permitted and Max. Building Height Proposed, with the numbers 3 and 1 to the right. Assuming this to mean 3 Stories and 1 Story, please add this to the data. Page 1
