This can easily be corrected for water crossings. Also, we will work with you on separations between storm and sewer crossings, but your design will need to show that you are maximizing the separations as much as possible.

Topic: Traffic Impact Study Comment Number: 1 Comment Originated: 12/20/2016 3/8/2017: As previously mentioned split phasing is not possible with the ped calls that occur at the Shields and Elizabeth intersection, please revise this in the traffic study. 12/20/2016: 12/14/2016: The traffic study has been received and reviewed. There are a few refinements needed for the next submittal. At Shields and Elizabeth: The TIS shows the existing overall LOS at Shields and Elizabeth as LOS F. That would potentially invoke Adequate Public Facilities constraints through our Land Use Code and as such this should be double checked. Also, the TIS recommends removal of split phasing to improve operations. In the past this strategy was not possible/beneficial due to geometric constraints (shared through/left lanes) and pedestrian calls (on the north side crosswalk almost every cycle). The conclusions also list recommended changes to auxiliary turn lane lengths. Unless you 6re proposing to construct those, the assumptions in the study (especially in the short term) should reflect the actual turn lane lengths. Please call so we can discuss the timing, existing LOS, ped calls, and what improvements are possible or anticipated with the current underpass project that can be assumed. At Shields and Elizabeth, please include movement and approach LOS information.

This restricted release rate is controlled by an orifice plate that is installed within the manhole and is for their underground detention system on their site. Therefore, your site cannot tie into their storm line upstream of the manhole with the orifice plate in it. You will need to find another way to connect into their storm system.

The LUC does specifically state that street trees can be used to satisfy tree stocking requirements, but not private trees on adjacent properties. There could be more discussion about how the tree stocking could be alternatively complied with, but I would suggest writing the alternative compliance request to be more holistic, addressing the fact that you are providing an entire landscape plan that alternatively complies, and then address the criteria in Section3.2.1(H). The elements that would be helpful to focus on would not be an urban vs. suburban discussion but rather screening, foundation plantings, transitioning, softening of the paved areas that are not associated with the parking garage. A low wood fence or gabion wall fence with evergreen vines, planted along portions of the perimeter could help with the alternative landscape plan. The preference would be to do this in combination with additional trees that are incorporated into the site perimeter or within a dedicated planning easement on adjacent properties to the west and south.

This project has 219 units and will need to achieve at least 93 points. Comment Number: 6 Comment Originated: 03/08/2017 Comment Number: 4 03/09/2017: Comment Originated: 03/09/2017 Please provide for the correct number of Mitigation Trees, both in the Tree Mitigation Summary Table and on the Landscape Plans. Forestry counted 30.5 mitigation trees to be provided — please round this up to 31 trees. Also, only 30 mitigation trees were shown on the Landscape Plans. Please provide for 1 additional mitigation tree on the plans. Trees 35 and 36 were removed by Uptown Plaza. Mitigation is not required for these tree removals because they were completed by another project. Comment Number: 5 Comment Originated: 03/09/2017 03/09/2017: Please provide a cross-section of the two existing Linden trees in regards to the proposed wall. Forestry would like to further review the distance between the trees and the structure. Additionally, please provide additional information regarding the preservation and protection of the two linden trees, and to what measures construction will impact roots. What is the foundation material for the walls? Please explore using pylon spanning to limit excavation near tree roots. Comment Number: 6 03/09/2017: Comment Originated: 03/09/2017 Currently, the plans show the wall proposed at approximately 3 feet away from the east tree, and 4 feet away from the west tree. With the goal of doing everything in our power to preserve the trees in mind, I recall that Sam Coutts, Jason Holland, Ralph Zentz, and Molly Roche discussed providing additional separation by shifting the walls further away from the trees, or even eliminating the walls completely. As discussed at our most recent site -visit, please provide Forestry with a detailed cross-section sketch of each tree -to -wall separation. We would also like to understand the degree of excavation involved on each side of the trees. (Email sent to Sam Coutts 3/8/17) Forestry received an email from the applicant on March 8, 2017 explaining where some adjustments had been made to help protect these trees. After reviewing this communication and diagrams, there are still additional questions Forestry would like explored and answered by the applicant. Can the east wall by the west tree be adjusted further to the east to provide additional separation? Also, please explore removing the south wall by the west tree (similar to the removal of the wall by the east tree). Comment Number: 7 03/09/2017: Comment Originated: 03/09/2017 Per discussion with City Water Utilities (Heather McDowell) and City Planner (Jason Holland), what is the status of the sewer relocation? Please explore the feasibility of adding 2-3 additional street trees along Elizabeth Street. Please Topic: General Comment Number: 11 Comment Originated: 03/05/2017 03/05/2017: Thank you for working diligently and creatively to address all Environmental Planning comments and meet LUC standards without modification requests or alternative compliance. One reason the City of Fort Collins has a well -planned, popular and economically vibrant community is due in part to a robust development review process and standards including high environmental standards. Comment Number: 12 Comment Originated: 03/05/2017 03/05/2017: Photometric plan clearly and easily calls out 3000K or less luminaires. Thank you; this makes any enforcement easier if and when issues or complaints occur post construction. Comment Number: 13 Comment Originated: 03/05/2017 03/05/2017: Excellent progress on landscape plans. Remember all public street trees require a free tree permit prior to installation and that landscaping shall be inspected prior to issuance of Certificate of Occupancy, or, a security shall be provided at 125% of cost of hardscape and softscape. Security is released once all hardscape and softscape installed according to approved plans. Department: Forestry Contact: Molly Roche, mroche@fcgov.com Topic: Landscape Plans Comment Number: 1 Comment Originated: 12/21/2016 03/09/2017: Continued: Please update the tree mitigation table to reflect the status/reason for removal for trees #33 and #34. For example, tree #33 states that it is to be removed because of a parking structure conflict; since the tree is to be retained, please delete this statement. Additionally, please show trees #35 and #36 as removed on the plans, since these trees were removed as a part of the Uptown Plaza project. 12/21 /2016: Trees #33, 35, and 36 are off -site, but are shown as 6to be removed4 by the project. The adjacent property owner, where the trees are located, must provide written approval for the removal of these off -site trees. Please provide written approval to the Project Planner, Jason Holland. Comment Number: 3 Comment Originated: 03/09/2017 03/09/2017: Please list the caliper sizes of the mitigation trees to be planted. Please add a note on the plans that reads: Mitigation trees shall be sized as follows: - Shade tree = 3" caliper - Ornamental tree = 2.5" caliper - Evergreen tree = 8' height feet area of sheet flow behind the sidewalk. 12/23/2016: Please provide a cross-section of the area proposed for emergency access. Is it intended to use detail D-54 provided in the details sheets of the civil plans, utilizing a curb to define the edge? The plans don't indicate this, however the plans show grass pavers in areas and these aren't defined in that detail though provided in the Grasspave2 detail. It seems the intent is to build these as inverted crowns with the area above the underdrain serving as the low point, but the details sheet don't necessarily reflect this. There should be some information regarding whether a liner and/or cut-off walls are intended to be used in conjunction with the underdrain. Historically, we have concerns about the use of liners in utility areas as these liners may be cut by the utility providers during maintenance/replacement of the utility infrastructure, causing concern that the infiltration of drainage then finds a different path than the intended underdrain. Comment Number: 11 Comment Originated: 12/23/2016 03/08/2017: Carried over as unresolved with the plat utilizing a different name and the civils using "Ft." instead of "Fort" on the planning documents. 12/23/2016: The different plans have several different titles for the project (Plat: "Core Fort Collins Subdivision", Site Plan: "The Hub on Campus", Civil: "The Hub Colorado State") We'd prefer utilizing the same name on all the documents for electronic "searchability' . Comment Number: 13 Comment Originated: 03/08/2017 03/08/2017: The traffic study does not appear to take into account the road diet for Elizabeth Street west of City Park (going down to one lane in each direction, instead of the existing two lanes in each direction). Are the implications to the data and/or conclusions that would need further analysis/clarification as a result of the future planned road diet as part of the Elizabeth Enhanced Travel Corridor Plan? Comment Number: 14 Comment Originated: 03/08/2017 03/08/2017: The staff review brought up the potential that the emergency access points off of Elizabeth Street might also be looked at as a loading/unloading area for a commercial use. We would need to have additional information on this for consideration and ideally be addressed in the traffic study. Traffic Operations had left the room prior to this discussion, but I suspect they may have concerns with this as well. Overall, I'm unsure at this point if City Transportation staff would be in support of loading operations to occur off of Elizabeth Street. Comment Number: 15 Comment Originated: 03/10/2017 03/10/2017: The existing sanitary manhole along Elizabeth appears to be in the travel path for the pedestrians. Ideally it's location would be shifted in a manner such that it's not in the pedestrian travel path. If that can't be accomplished, then a pedestrian/ADA compliant lid should be used. Department: Environmental Planning Contact: Stephanie Blochowiak, 970-416-42909 sblochowiak@fcgov.com Comment Number: 2 Comment Originated: 12/23/2016 03/10/2017: Further discussion with Planning/Engineering/PFA/GIS is intended to occur to fully resolved this. 12/23/2016: It should be verified from a City and PFA perspective on whether a potential naming of the offsite private drive with a street name is contemplated or required as part of this development. Comment Number: 3 Comment Originated: 12/23/2016 03/08/2017: The plat call out a 2 foot parkway easement, which should be indicated as an "access easement" (also on the other documents that reference it as well). 12/23/2016: The cross section for the West Elizabeth Enhanced Travel Corridor Plan (ETC) specifies an area behind the curb of 12 feet. While acknowledging that the plan would appear to show the road narrowing and the future implementation of the corridor plan under this premise would then be at 12 feet, the concern at this time is that the project isn't funded to implement the plan, and there may be the realization that the narrowing of the roadway isn't a cost effective approach to implement the ETC. As a result, we would want to ensure that an equivalent sidewalk area of 12 feet behind the curb is provided at this time, instead of the 10 feet shown, requiring the offset of the landscape wall and plaza area 2 feet further south than presently shown. (As Figure 16-1 of LCUASS requires the horizontal clearance of 2 feet from the back of sidewalk to a wall, this additional 2 foot of widening also accomplishes the horizontal clearance requirement from walls to a sidewalk). Additional right-of-way wouldn't necessarily need to be dedicated, we would be OK with the first 2 feet of the 15 foot utility easement also being an access easement. Comment Number: 8 Comment Originated 03/08/2017: 1 didn't find any letters of intent from abutting property owners. In general an exhibit of what the identified offsite work is needed from specific property owners would be beneficial for review. In addition, we should be provided information/documentation of what the language of all existing offsite easements allows (such as the private utility access and shared parking easement on the property to the east which the development is tying into). 12/23/2016: The grading plan does show TW labels with elevations that would appear to indicate top of wall elevations. If so, it appears that these walls are built on the property line and would need to excavate offsite in order to build, needing offsite easements and letters of intent from those property owners prior to hearing (this may also be needed for offsite grading that would be needed from the previous comment.) Comment Number: 9 03/08/2017: Carried over as unresolved. 12/23/2016 Comment Originated: 12/23/2016 12/23/2016: Please provide the existing (or to be constructed) information for the surrounding properties. What will the Elizabeth Street frontage improvements for this property tie into on either side? Comment Number: 10 Comment Originated: 12/23/2016 03/08/2017: We'll need additional info on the amount of area sheet flowing across the Elizabeth Street sidewalk.

Comment Summary: Department: Engineering Development Review Contact: Marc Virata, 970-221-6567, mvirata@fcqov.com Topic: General Comment Number: 1 Comment Originated: 12/23/2016 03/08/2017: The response indicated a letter of intent from the property owner to the west was being provided, but didn't appear in my submittal. The letter should be indicating an OK in concept for the various work being done on their property that provides access and emergency access to this development. It appears additional letters of intent from other offsite property owners would also be needed. 12/23/2016: Vehicular access to/from Elizabeth Street occurs through a private drive with an access easement but on property owned by the property owner to the west of the site. The City should be provided with information from the developer regarding discussions with that adjacent property owner to understand whether agreements are being made for ongoing access/maintenance of this drive aisle. Note that the traffic study recommends the placing of a stop sign at the intersection of the private drive and Elizabeth, and the plans reflect this along with the striping of turn lanes at the intersection, how might this be potentially coordinated with this project? It should also be looked at in providing no parking signage and a white informational sign, indicating "Begin private maintenance'.
