Department: Traffic Operation Contact: Ward Stanford, 970.221.6820, wstanford(a)fcgov.com Topic: Site Plan Comment Number: 1 Comment Originated: 04/10/2012 04/10/2012: The middle access scales about 30' wide. This is very wide for 1-way traffic. How are you going to control it to a 1-way in only access? This access should be redesigned to encourage desired traffic flow and safety at the access. Comment Number: 2 Comment Originated: 04/1012012 04/10/2012: The width of the middle access will allow motorists to enter into the diagonal parking area in front of the liqour store at higher speeds which can be problematic for peds and cyclists or other patrons in the parking lot. The access should be redesigned to promote movement control and safe movements in and around the access and parking lot. Comment Number: 3 Comment Originated: 04/10/2012 04/1012012: South access width is also very wide for a 1-way access. This access should be redesigned to encourage desired traffic flow and safety at the access.

Department: Forestry Contact: Tim Buchanan, 970.221.6361, tbuchanan(a)fcgov.com Topic: Landscape Plans Comment Number: 1 Comment Originated: 04/10/2012 04/10/2012: Please contact the City Forester to review at an onsite meeting the tree currently shown to be removed along Elizabeth. Existing trees need to be retained to the extent reasonably feasible or mitigated. Comment Number: 2 Comment Originated: 04/10/2012 04/11/2012: Incorporate street trees along City Park Drive and Elizabeth at 30- 40 feet spacing (3.2.1 D 2). If the sidewalk is wide enough along Elizabeth trees might be sited in cut outs with grates. Underground utility tree separation needs to be evaluated. Along City Park Drive explore placing trees in the planting bed behind the walk. Since this planting location is close to the building it may be more suitable to use ornamental trees at a closer spacing by the building. Canopy shade trees would be most suitable in areas not too close to the building, for example on either side of the entrance to the parking lot off City Park Drive.

Tim Buchanan, City Forester, has not confirmed that offsite tree mitigation is adequately addressed for the tree on Elizabeth (LUC 3.2.1(F)). Off site mitigation (LUC 3.2.1(F)) should be within 1,320 feet (1/4 mile) of the site. Off site replacement trees should be upsized as follows: Canopy Shade Trees 3.0" caliper balled and burlap or equivalent Ornamental Trees 2.5" caliper balled and burlap or equivalent Evergreen Trees 8' height balled and burlap or equivalent Please call out on plans upsized mitigation trees if onsite or note on landscape plans if off site and type, size and location. Additionally please coordinate with Tim Buchanan in terms of meeting tree mitigation standard.

Proof of this agreement or easement will be required prior to hearing. Topic: Site Plan Comment Number: 4 Comment Originated: 04/11/2012 05/07/2012: Variance for 16' was submitted and accepted, however revisions need to be made to first paragraph. 04/11/2012: LS 1.0 - Per 19.6 LCUASS the parking setback based on traffic volumes requires a 506 setback from City Park flowline to the first parking stall. Engineering has a concern with traffic movement in and out of the parking lot relative to the proposed 20� setback proposed. Similar projects have requested less of a setback than the required 504 but a variance request with justification will need to be submitted and reviewed. Comment Number: 5 Comment Originated: 04/11/2012 05/07/2012: Per conversation with Mike Oberlander, letter will be submitted prior to or at the staff review meeting on 05/24/2012. 04/11/2012: LS 1.0 6 The emergency access easement proposed exists on the property to the south. This portion of the easement will need to have a legal description that includes only the portion existing on the south property. A separate legal description will need to be prepared for the proposed lot.

Comment Summary: Department: Advance Planning Contact: Clark Mapes, 970.221-6225, cmaoes@fcgov.com Topic: Building Elevations Comment Number: 1 Comment Originated: 04/10/2012 04/1012012: Re the corner tower and projecting modules on the north elevation along Elizabeth Street: The effect of these projections, and the overall legibility of the building, are diminished by the division of those modules into horizontal strips, with masonry below and stucco system above. The effect would be much greater with full -height finishes on these massing modules. This includes the returns, to define those architectural modules. The sills could remain to add interest to the masonry walls. This is per LUC 3.5.1 Most of the windows lack any definition with lintels. Wherever windows occur in masonry or stucco walls, lintels should be added for this definition. This comment doesn't apply where windows occur in metal wall cladding. The metal joinery in those locations can be different to reflect the difference between the masonry and metal cladding. Can the steel kicker brackets on the tower feature be thicker, for a stronger effect more in proportion to the cornice and roof?
