Please review the possibility of adding trees in the landscape perimeter area along the alley. This includes the landscape areas between the entry and exit and just to the east of the parking lot exit along the alley. Comment Number: 7 Comment Originated: 12/27/2012 12/27/2012: 7. Please consider increasing the use of canopy trees by changing the three Spring Snow Crabapples and flowering pear along the west boundary by the parking area at the NW part of the site to Canopy shade trees. Using Kentucky coffee tree for the crabapples and Redmond Linden for the pear is one possibility. This will also help mitigate at this site for the loss of the large Hackberry tree. Comment Number: 8 Comment Originated: 12/27/2012 12/27/2012: 8. For mitigation tree sizes in the Plant list Bosnian Pine would need to be 8 feet height. Swedish Columnar Aspen can be 2.5 inch caliper as an ornamental tree.

Owner will be responsible for system modification charges. Comment Number: 2 Comment Originated: 11/14/2012 11/14/2012: The existing electric vault shown on the utility plan will need to be replaced with an oval vault or a switch cabinet. An oval vault maybe preferred due to the sight distance easement. This is something that cannot be driven over.

With majority of the drainage from the parking lot draining across the utility easement should the easements be combined and dedicated as a drainage and utility easement rather than identifying separate easements? 11/14/2012: The drainage easement boundary is not clear. Please identify the boundary with arrows on the plat.

Evaluate using Canopy Shade trees in place of the two pear trees along Meldrum Street. (LUC 3.2.1 D 2 b) Comment Number: 5 Comment Originated: 12/27/2012 12/27/2012: 5. Please review the parking lot island for adding an additional canopy shade tree based on Comment Numt 4 Comment Originated: 11/13/2012 12/21/2012: Please check labels on Sheet 8 of 8. Several of the elevations appear to have the labels for brick and stucco switched (as compared to the graphic symbol used). Comment Number: 5 Comment Originated: 11/13/2012 12/21/2012: It is not clear that the landscape screening along the Meldrum Street frontage achieves the required screening of the parking area. A low wall (30 — 36" 3 high) along much of this area would provide the necessary screening. Without a wall, I do not believe the plant materials achieve the necessary screening (ie. At least 30 inches high and extending at least 70% of the length of the parking area frontage), particularly with the use of ornamental grasses and perennials. Please add detail of wall height, location, materials.

Comment Number: 7 Comment Originated: 11/14/2012 11/14/2012: It is the developer's responsibility to improve the frontage along the property including repairs to damaged curb, gutter and sidewalk. We understand that this maybe difficult along Arthurs Ditch and we will work with you on alternatives for the repairs identified over the ditch. Comment Number: 8 Comment Originated: 11/14/2012 11/14/2012: You may want to think about shoring any excavations that could potentially impact Arthurs Ditch.

Comment Number: 13 Comment Originated: 12/20/2012 12/20/2012: Sheet C2 of the utility plans call to connect to the existing gas service in the parkway. After discussions with Xcel, all (3) existing gas services should have been cut off at the main prior to demo of the existing structures on the property. The service to feed this development will need to be a new tap off the existing gas main in College Ave. If the existing gas service that you call out on the utility plans has not been cut off at the main then Xcel states that this development will be responsible for the costs associated with abandonment and new tap and service fees. Please coordinate gas service installation with Xcel. Please show the new tap location and approximate patching limits on the next submittal.

Comment Summary: Department: Current Planning Contact: Sherry Albertson -Clark, 970-224-6174, Topic: General Comment Number: 1 salbertson-clark(a)fcgov.com Comment Originated: 11/13/2012 12/21/2012: The wall along the west property line is described as "plain grey concrete with the exteriors buried". Please provide a detail on the site plan showing the design/height of this wall. Comment Number: 2 Comment Originated: 11/13/2012 12/21/2012: In interpreting the shadow study, it is not clear whether the shadow on the property to the west shown on the December 21 9:00 AM illustration is created solely by the hypothetical 25 foot wall, or if a portion is created by the building. I think this can be clarified through some additional labeling. Comment Number: 3 Comment Originated: 11/13/2012 12/21/2012: The upright landscaping provides some visual break in the mass of the building; however, screening of the parking area under the north end of the building and along the Meldrum Street side is still needed and will further help visually break up the scale and mass of the east elevation. (see comment 4 below).
