Subsection E of 3.2.6: Lots having a front or rear lot line that abuts an arterial street shall have a
minimum depth of one hundred fifty (150) feet.
Alternative Compliance. Upon request by the applicant, the decision maker may approve an
alternative lot plan that does not meet this 150' standard if the alternative lot plan includes additional
buffering or screening that will, in the judgment of the decision maker, protect such lots from the
noise, light and other potential negative impacts of the arterial street as well as, or better than, a plan
which complies with the 150' standard of this subsection.
Procedure. Alternative lot plans shall be prepared and submitted in accordance with the submittal
requirements for streets, streetscapes, alleys and easements as set forth in this Section and
landscape plans as set forth in Section 3.2.1. The alternative lot plan shall clearly identify and
discuss the modifications and alternatives proposed and the ways in which the plan will equally well
or better accomplish the purpose of this Subsection (E) than would a plan which complies with the
standards of this Subsection (E).
Review Criteria. To approve an alternative lot plan, the decision maker must first find that the
proposed alternative plan accomplishes the purpose of this Subsection (E) as well as, or better
than, a lot plan which complies with the standard of this Subsection. In reviewing the proposed
alternative plan, the decision maker shall take into account whether the lot plan provides screening
and protection of the lots adjacent to the arterial street from noise, light and other negative impacts
of the arterial street equally well or better than a plan which complies with the standard of this
Subsection (E).

The original Union Place development plan obtained a reduction in fees due to a portion of the
project being designated as affordable housing. Should the percentage of affordable housing
designation change with the replat and depending on the process (new PDP vs. major amendment),
fees that weren't collected with the original Union Place may need to be paid back to the City,

01/06/2015: Please coordinate the following comments from GIS:
1. The private drive at the southwest comer of the subdivision is currently unnamed; however,
the most appropriate access for assigning addresses to Lots 2A-2E, Block 2 is along this
private drive. Please request a new street name reservation through the GIS office and have
the approved name noted on the subdivision plat prior to recording. Availability of street
names can be checked at Ladmer.org/streets.
2. Addresses will be assigned by the GIS Department after the plans have met final approval
through Development Review and are recorded with the City.
3. Projects with three or more tenant units require the Unit Level Addressing form to be
completed and submitted to the GIS Department once plans have met final approval through
Development Review and are recorded with the City. This can occur anytime during
construction, but before any utilities or address signs are installed. All addressing will be
determined by the GIS Department and submitted to Poudre Fire Authority, LISPS, Building
Services, and Fort Collins Utilities. Failure to contact GIS and determining addresses through
other means may result in address changes.
The Unit Level Addressing form can be obtained by contacting the GIS office at
gis@fcgov.com or (970) 416-2483.
Response: We coordinated with the GIS department and they are going to address off of
Urban Prairie Street to the north since that is what was previously done on the original plat.
They determined that we do not need a new street name for the unnamed private drive.

The drainage design engineer needs to verify that with this revision the site design is still in

The detention and water quality treatment are being provided for in the onsite detention facilities
which also provides regional detention for the west side of North College Ave. The Stormwater
Utility did cost share in the regional detention facilities. The future storm drains will drain the site in
the future. The existing design uses percolation to drain the lower portion of the pond. So in the
interim if the pond holds water for more than 72 hours the water must be pumped out of the pond.

Low Impact Development (LID) requirements went into effect March 11, 2013. These require a
higher degree of water quality treatment for 50% of the new impervious area and 25% of new paved
areas must be pervious, Please contact Basil Hamdan at 224-6035 or bhamdan@fcgov.com for
more information. There is also more information on the EPA web site at
http:/twater.epa.gov/polwaste/green/bbfs.cfm?goback=.gde_4605732_member 219392996.
This site already has LID treatment methods included in the original design so even though it does
not meet the 50% requirement, no additional LID runoff treatment is needed. This project
volunteered to install LID before it was required which is something that should be rewarded.

The city wide Stormwater development fee (PIF) is $6,390.00/acre ($0.1467/sq.-ft.) for new

is charged for existing impervious area, These fees are to be paid at the time each building permit
is issued. Information on fees can be found on the City's web site at

es or by contacting Jean Pakech at 221-6375. There is also an erosion control escrow required

Street Tree changes along Willox:
Please change the 14 Thornless Cockspur Hawthorn used as on the current plan as street trees
along Willox to Chanticleer Pear. Ornamental trees used as street trees need to have these
characteristics.
- Can readily be trained to a single stem with the first branch high enough to avoid conflicts
- Sterile, sparsely fruited, small fruited or with persistent fruit
- Crown form that grows or can be maintained appropriate for the site
The 9th street along Willox east of the Cedar Street entrance is over the water line and should
be reviewed and deleted. Adjust spacing of street trees to the extent possible to minimize the
gap created removing this street tree.
Please change the 4 English Oak located along Willow west of Cedar Street to Hackberry.
Response: 14 Thornless Cockspur Hawthorn have been changed to Chanticleer Pear.
The 91h tree along Willox, east of Cedar Street is not located over a water line. It is located
at the easement line, and has not been relocated. The 4 English Oaks have been changed
to Hackberry.

of the development. All trees need to have been installed as shown on the landscape plan.

contractor.

utility standards, separation between trees, street signs and street lights. Street trees shall be
centered in the middle of the parkway. Quantities shown on plan must be installed unless a

That is still the preferred plan. System modification charges will apply and may be significant if
the design changes to an electric meter on each lot. Please call the Electric Engineering
Department with any questions 970-221-6700
