RESPONSE: The future expansion area notes have been removed on all plans
05/29/2019: INFORMATION ONLY:
At appears that the area shown as'future expansion' has been deleted for this
submission therefore the building location is approved because it is fully
sprinklered and only 45ft out of compliance for the 150ft access.
>Future expansion is called out on the Landscape planset. Please note that any
building planned for the west side will extend the out of compliance condition for
access and will likely trigger other requirements.
04/19/2019: FOR APPROVAL:
ACCESS
>Access is required to within 150ft of all portions of the exterior perimeter of this
building. This building is approximately 50ft out of compliance as shown on the
provided site plan S1.0 and 125ft out of compliance when the future expansion
area is included. If this building is fully sprinklered then it may be considered in
compliance if approved by the Fire Marshal.
>The area shown as future expansion may trigger further requirements since the
building will then be 125ft out of access.

SECURITY GATES
> IFC 503.6: The installation of security gates across a fire apparatus access
road shall be approved by the fire chief. Where security gates are installed, they
shall have an approved means of emergency operation. The security gates and
the emergency operation shall be maintained operational at all times.

of the following criteria:
1. The minimum gate width for vehicle access shall be 20 feet.
2. Gates shall be of the swinging or sliding type.
3. Construction of gates shall be of materials that allow manual operation by one person.

relocate the sewer line to the north? If not, at least the two southern pear trees in
the parkway should be replaced with a suitable shade tree i.e. Kentucky
coffeetree, Texas red oak, hackberry etc.
Comment Number: 4
06/03/2019: FOR APPROVAL:
The rolling security gate is shown extending into the sod area and
approximately 5' from the Kentucky coffeetree. Kentucky coffeetrees are great a
choice, but they can have a canopy spread of up to 50 feet. A tree species with
narrow, upright habits (such as Japanese tree lilacs, gingko etc.) may be more
suitable here, in order to ensure that the canopy doesn't require repeated
pruning for clearance.
RESPONSE: The tree indicated has been replaced with a Ginkgo

6/3/2019: UPDATE - FOR APPROVAL:
Thank you for adding blue spruce to the species palette. However, for a total of
27 trees, there should be no more than 33 percentage of one species
proposed. Please refer to the diversity standards below and reduce the number
of blue spruce. Another conifer species can be incorporated here (ex: mugo pines).
RESPONSE: Big Tuna Mugo has been added along the north property line to replace the blue
spruce due to the WAPA requirement of trees being no taller than 10' in the transmission line
easement
4/22/2019: FOR APPROVAL:
List the percentage of each tree species used and check for compliance with
the minimum species diversity standard LUC 3.2.1 D3.
Number of trees on site Maximum percentage of any one species
10-19 50%
20-39 33%
40-59 25%
60 or more 15%
The current list does not meet the minimum diversity standards. Please
incorporate another ornamental species in addition to the Russian hawthorn.
Alternately, on the south side of the property, conifer trees may be a better
choice for screening instead of the hawthorns.
RESPONSE: The new total tree quantity is 25 and the max percentage of any one species is now
24% due to the substitutions listed above. Additionally, The Russian Hawthorn along the north
property line have been replaced with American Plum to meet the WAPA requirement of trees
being no taller than 10' in the transmission line easement. This replacement helped address both
the diversity issue and the transmission line requirements as well as provides an additional native
species to the plant list.

6/3/2019: UPDATE - FOR APPROVAL:
Thank you for switching the pear trees for hackberries.
There is a sanitary sewer line approximately 7' north of the northernmost
hackberry proposed (please see redlines). Forestry has been informed that it is
preferable to have shade trees be at least 10' from sewer lines. Please shift this
tree 3' south of its current location. In this case, it is possible to decrease the
distance between the three trees by 1-2' and keep all proposed trees in the parkway.
RESPONSE: The trees have been shifted to accommodate the 10' required spacing between trees
and the sewer service line
4/22/2019: FOR APPROVAL:
The parkway should include canopy shade trees. Currently, the water line is >8'
to the east and the gas line is >6' to the west. It appears that the proposed
sanitary sewer line may limit spacing for the northernmost tree. Is it possible to

In moving the transformer into the existing 75' Transmission Line Easement,
please get confirmation that City of Fort Collins Light and Power is allowed to
be within that easement. Also, please verify that the additional easements
shown on the plat are allowed to be on top of that existing easement.
RESPONSE. We are working with WAPA on license agreement for improvements inside their
easement. They have no concerns with the transformer location; however, the City will also need a
license agreement. There is no fee for this.

from ditch company no water rights remain associated with the abandoned
ditch lateral. Essentially formal and signed verification that ditch lateral is abandoned.
RESPONSE: After discussions with City staff, it is believed to be a private irrigation lateral for the
following reasons:
1.The ditch company no longer delivers water to this area
2.The current landowner has not seen it been used in the 20+ years he has owned the property

RESPONSE: Callouts have been removed
04/22/2019: Have the future expansion areas depicted on the site plan been

Please use only non-floatable mulch in areas of rain garden, detention pond,
drainage swales, and immediately adjacent areas. Cedar and other wood
mulch wash out of these areas regularly leading to issues with drainage as well
as additional landscape maintenance.
RESPONSE: Cedar mulch has been replaced with rock cobble mulch in the area around the rain
garden
04/22/2019: Please clarify the proposed rain garden landscaping. It appears
shrubs with native grasses are proposed; is any cobble proposed?
