Topic: General
Comment Number: 6. Comment Originated: 12/10/2014
12/10/2014: Will the light fixtures under the canopy, S6, be recessed into the
decking? Or, do the fixtures protrude? Section 3.2.4(D) requires under-canopy
fixtures to be flush-mount using a flat lens.
Second Round Comment: On sheet P2 of P3, for the S6 fixture, please add the
specification that these fixtures are to be "Flush-Mount and Flat Lens."
Response: Fixture schedule on sheets P1 & P2, and detail 03 on sheet P3 have been revised.
Fixture type S6 has been revised to comply with flush-mounted with flat lens canopy lighting
requirements.
Comment Number: 9. Comment Originated: 02/03/2015
02/03/2015: All revisions are in order. Prior to hearing, it would be helpful to
call out on sheet L1 of L4, the individual species within the landscape buffer
between the detached sidewalk and the four-foot knee wall along Lemay
Avenue that screens the ambulance area of the E.D. Please consider an
enlarged view of this screening for the benefit of the Planning and Zoning
2
Board.
Response: Final plans now indicate plant species for all areas, including the buffer areas
illustrated for the March 12, 2015 Planning and Zoning Board hearing.

02/03/2015: Please ensure that the widening of the sidewalk is depicted on
C-015.
12/10/2014: The metal sidewalk culvert detail reflects the widening of the
sidewalk approaches on either side of the culvert, this should be reflected on
the plans as well for clarity and reduce the likelihood that the contractor does not
initially install the sidewalks to reflect this widening.
Response: Widening of walk is now shown.
Comment Number: 22 Comment Originated: 12/10/2014
02/03/2015: Response on confirmation of the encroachment permit is noted.
We'll again identify this during the DCP process.
12/10/2014: It appears the plans indicate an irrigation line that ties the two
properties and crosses Doctors Lane. If this is not already identified and
permitted through an encroachment permit, it would likely need to be through the
Development Construction Permit process.
Response: Acknowledged
Topic: General
Comment Number: 1 Comment Originated: 12/10/2014
02/03/2015: In looking at the submitted plat the disjointed right-of-way is
awkward in that it does not necessarily correspond with the street section.
Along Doctors Lane, can we instead either 1) reduce the amount dedicated to
correspond with the west half of Lot 1 and have the additional wider right-of-way
currently shown on the east half of the lot be within an access easement, or 2)
increase the amount dedicated on the west half of Lot 1 to correspond with the
same line on the east side. Along Hospital Lane, please maintain the same
amount of dedication up to the north property boundary instead of reducing from
about 7 feet to 1.77 feet. This will allow a potential opportunity to modify to a
detached sidewalk in the future should a full redevelopment of the property to
the north occur.
12/10/2014: The development portion on the north side of Doctors Lane would
need to be platted in conjunction with the development plan approval. New
detached sidewalks along Hospital Lane, Doctors Lane, and Luke Street
should have right-of-way dedication to match the back of walk locations.
Response: ROW has been redrawn to follow the back of sidewalk for the majority of length along
the north side of Doctor’s Lane, with the exception of where the walk is attached to the curb.
Engineering requested we hold the ROW line parallel to road section, and this has been
provided for.

Comment Number: 2 Comment Originated: 12/10/2014
02/03/2015: The response and designs provided is acceptable with the
expectation that the dedication of right-of-way along Lemay Avenue and
Doctors Lane is provided before final plan approval. Additionally, the City's
approach for the coverage of the development agreement would be that it would
apply to both the "Poudre Valley Hospital Third Filing" property and Lot 2 of the
"Poudre Valley Memorial Hospital Addition".
12/10/2014: The development plan needs to establish what the development
plan boundary is (both shown and described). On the north side of Doctors
Lane this will be evident as the name of the plat for this portion of the
development. On the south side of Doctors Lane, the development plan
boundary should be shown and described as Lot 2 of the Poudre Valley
Hospital. It would then be envisioned that the corresponding development
agreement property boundary is also the platted boundary on the north side of
Doctors Lane and the current Lot 2 of the Poudre Valley Hospital plat.
Response: Please refer to the plat and legal description for the property.
Comment Number: 4 Comment Originated: 12/10/2014
02/03/2015: The site and landscape plan documents need to show the property
line boundary reflecting the dedication of right-of-way (whether by plat or
separate document) for Doctors Lane, Hospital Lane, and Lemay Avenue.
12/10/2014: With the two previous comments in mind, the dedication of
right-of-way for the right turn lane at Robertson can be done via separate
document. Given that additional right-of-way (or access easement) for the new
detached sidewalks along Doctors Lane and Lemay Avenue is needed, there
may be some value in replatting Lot 2 concurrently with the plat for the portion of
the development on the north side of Doctors Lane.
Response: This has been done. Please see civil plans and plat.
Comment Number: 7 Comment Originated: 12/10/2014
02/03/2015: The response indicated that the variance request(s) will be
provided at time of final. Since the viability of the development as designed
would require a variance for review (and potential approval), the variance will
need to be submitted, reviewed and evaluated prior to hearing.
12/10/2014: The emergency access entrance and exit access on Lemay
Avenue require variance requests to LCUASS access spacing requirements
along Lemay Avenue (from both Robertson and Doctors Lane).
Response: Variances have been completed, submitted, and reviewed prior to the March 12 public
hearing.
Comment Number: 8 Comment Originated: 12/10/2014
02/03/2015: The response indicated that the variance request(s) will be
provided at time of final. Since the viability of the development as designed
would require a variance for review (and potential approval), the variance will
need to be submitted, reviewed and evaluated prior to hearing.
12/10/2014: The entrance off of Lemay Avenue has four parking spaces which
back out onto the main drive aisle that accesses Lemay Avenue. Based on the
4
Traffic Study indicating 167 visits (ADT's) utilizing this access, Figure 1906 of
LCUASS would require a parking setback distance of 75 feet off of Lemay
Avenue, which would require the removal of the four parking spaces. Similar to
the previous comment, a variance request would be required for evaluation.
Perhaps the emergency nature of the access and the particular use of those
four parking spaces (unknown) would provide such justification to allow all or a
portion of these parking spaces to remain?
Response: Variances have been completed, submitted, and reviewed prior to the March 12 public
hearing.
Comment Number: 9 Comment Originated: 12/10/2014
02/03/2015: The Lemay Avenue emergency entrance (and exit) are both
unclear to me between the civil set C-006 and Elevation Sheet A2 as to how
these two driveways will be indicated as limited to emergency access only.
12/10/2014: In general, signage for how the access points onto both Lemay
Avenue and Doctors Lane are restricted (either to emergency, and/or one-way)
should be indicated on the plans for clarity of how accesses will be limited and
function. I'll also be curious to see what sort of signage will be visible to vehicles
on the west side of the Lemay Avenue/Garfield Street intersection. Existing No
Parking signage along Luke Street should be shown as to remain, with
additional signs added as well?
Response: Please see civil plans for signing and striping.
Comment Number: 11 Comment Originated: 12/10/2014
02/03/2015: The plans just need to depict the existing sidewalk to the north to
show that this all ties-in to an existing improvement to the north.
12/10/2014: The sidewalk along Hospital Lane as it heads north to the property
boundary should probably be shown to attach to the existing attached sidewalk
at the boundary rather than remain detached, as the sidewalk as shown appear
to tie directly into a utility pedestal. If there's an opportunity to move the pedestal
to maintain the sidewalk detachment, that could certainly be explored. Please
show more of the existing features to the north for verification.
Response: We have indicated the existing buildings and walks along the north property line. The
detached sidewalk ties in to the existing attached sidewalk along Hospital Lane at the property boundary.

02/03/2015: The plans just need to depict the existing sidewalk to the north to
show that this all ties-in to an existing improvement to the north.
12/10/2014: The sidewalk along Luke Street as it ties in to the existing attached
"sidewalk" might be tying into more towards the east-west narrower "sidewalk"
with the raised curb head on the north side than the north-south sidewalk along
Luke Street. Please show more of the existing features to the north for
verification. A comment was made in the civil portion of comments regarding
the appearance of the existing gutter pan (for the former driveway) at the
northeast corner not being removed and replaced with vertical curb and gutter
and how the new sidewalk ties into the attached walk/access ramp as well.
Response: We have indicated the existing buildings and walks along the north property line,
including the existing attached walk that we tie into at the property boundary.
Comment Number: 13 Comment Originated: 12/10/2014
02/03/2015: The civil plans will need to add an underdrain detail in addition to
the underneath call out for the landscaping of the median.
12/10/2014: I'm understanding that features to promote/identify the striped
crosswalk crossing Doctors Lane such as a raised median island in the center
turn lane is being contemplated. We'll want to review what proposed design
solutions are implemented for Engineering considerations.
Response: Completed. Please see utility plan.
Comment Number: 23 Comment Originated: 02/03/2015
02/03/2015: The plans show a lot of striped crosswalks, especially across
driveways. We'll want confirmation from Traffic Operations on the usage of
striped crosswalks in right-of-way throughout the development. I suspect they'll
want the majority of these removed due to maintenance obligation concerns.
Response: Aspen emailed Traffic Ops, and the response did not indicate that crosswalk striping
should be removed. Striping will remain, as shown, unless City requests it be removed.

02/03/2015: With Hospital Lane and Doctors Lane being a T-intersection,
LCUASS requires at least one sending and receiving access ramp pair
crossing Doctors Lane Please add an additional access ramp to direct
north-south on both sides of the east-leg of the intersection.
Response: Ramp was added. Please see civil plans.

02/10/2015:
Existing tree number 5 is a 17 inch diameter hackberry. Its actual location is
different than what is shown on the plan. The actual location is about 12 feet
further east which appears to preclude its retention. Please review this situation

Please include the following notes 1-5 under a separate heading labeled street
tree notes and eliminated duplication in other note lists.
1. A permit must be obtained from the City Forester before any trees or shrubs
as noted on this plan are planted, pruned or removed on the public right-of-way.
This includes zones between the sidewalk and curb, medians and other City
property. This permit shall approve the location and species to be planted.
Failure to obtain this permit may result in replacing or relocating trees and a
hold on certificate of occupancy.
2. Contact the City Forester to inspect all street tree plantings at the completion
of each phase of the development. All trees need to have been installed as
shown on the landscape plan. Approval of street tree planting is required before
final approval of each phase.
3. Street tree shall be supplied and planted by the developer using a qualified
landscape contractor.
4. The developer shall replace all dead and dying street trees after planting until
final maintenance inspection and acceptance by the City of Fort Collins Forestry
Division. All street trees in the project must be established of an approved
species and of acceptable le condition prior to acceptance.
5. Street tree locations and numbers may be adjusted to accommodate
driveway locations, 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 reduction occurs to meet
separation standards.
Response: Notes have been added to plan

Please place the following note in large print with a bold border on the
landscape plan.
A free permit must be obtained from the City Forester before any street trees
are planted in parkways between the sidewalk and Curb. Street tree locations
and numbers may change to meet actual utility/tree separation standards.
Landscape contractor must obtain approval of street tree location after utility
locates. Street trees must be inspected and approved before planting. Failure
to obtain this permit is a violation of the Code of the City of Fort Collins.
Response: Note with border has been added.
