02/14/2014: Please consider adding a row of foundation shrubs along the north elevation of the
building. The north elevation has significant exposure to Taft Hill Road and a row of shrubs will
help soften the building.
A row of foundation shrubs has been considered along the north elevation of the building.
This area is in the future development zone and adding shrubs would not be a permanent
solution, so no shrubs have been added at this time.

12/14/2013: Street trees must be provided along all public streets, not just along Taft Hill Road.
Please revise the Landscape Plan to include deciduous shade trees in the parkway along both Taft
Hill and Horsetooth and behind the attached walks along Bronson and Silver Trails. Street trees are
considered to be an important public improvement just like public sidewalks. An ornamental tree may
be substituted if within 40 feet of public street light. Ornamental trees may be planted up to within 15
feet of a street light. If needed, we can provide a list of approved street trees from the City Forester.
Upon establishment, the long term maintenance of these trees will be the responsibility of the City
Forestry Department.

intent of the school that as the property is developed in phases with private improvements, compliant
landscaping will be added on a per phase basis.L
The purpose of revising this note is to clarify that the landscaping associated with the public
improvements — street trees, are to be installed with the first phase and not future phases. Only private
improvements can be phased over time.

12/14/2013: The roof -mounted H.U.C. equipment must be screened from public view. Since there
appear to be numerous pieces of equipment, perhaps the best method to accomplish the necessary
screening would be a parapet wall of sufficient height and length.

Comment Originated: 12/14/2013
12/14/2013: On the architectural elevations, please consider adding a more solid base material to the
building to balance out the heavy reliance on metal as the primary exterior material. Staff suggests that
the overall quality and appearance of the building would be improved by adding a base of split -face or
textured c.m.u., integrally colored, at a height of four feet between windows and two feet at the
windows.

projecting window screens that would still allow for light but reduce the solar gain during the warmer

12/14/2013: Please consider adding another suspended wood canopy to the easterly door to match
the westerly door. The eastern door appears to feature minimal treatment and yet is highly visible to
the two arterial streets. The southeast comer of the building, in general, will be area where the first
impression of the school will be created by its proximity to the intersection.
Comment Number: 11
Comment Originated: 12/14/2013
12/14/2013: Staff recommends that the vibrancy of the yellow color be reduced or subdued or
replaced by a more muted earth -tone color. The 5-acres site benefits from being close to the
hogbacks that form the western back drop of our City. This back drop has been preserved with a
series of public parks and open spaces and provides a naturalistic setting for southwest Fort Collins.
Horsetooth Road is the access to Spring Canyon Park, out newest and largest community park that is
often referred to as our "crown jewel" of the City's park system. Toning down the brightness of the
yellow would allow the building to be more sympathetic and compatible with the foothills context of the
surrounding area.

12/18/2013: Can the west access point off of Silver Trails Dr shift to south approximately 20ft into the
field? This will better align the interior drive lanes and also improve the location of the access point on
Silver Trails Dr. Currently the exit point is aligned with the front window of the property to the west. By
shifting the alignment to the south, vehicles exiting will be in line with the garage and not the front

Topic: Site Plan
Page 5 of 6
Comment Number: 2
Comment Originated: 12/13/2013
12/13/2013: Traffic would suggest the following circulation plan during dropoff/pickup periods: Two
way traffic on N/S access drive; East bound (inbound) only on the access from Silver Trails; East
bound only traffic must turn right (south) at internal intersection and head south to south side of parking
lot; counterclock-wise flow around parking area; west bound circulating (exiting) traffic must turn right
onto N/S access drive. This circulation pattern will eliminate the need of motor vehicles having to cross
paths at the internal intersection. This will aid in moving traffic more fluidly and controlled with fewer
conflict points and directions motorists, peds and cyclists will have to keep track of at the internal
intersection. It allows for safer pedlbike crossing the lanes at the internal intersection. Overall should
produce a more controlled and smooth flow on the internal drives. The only negative is less on -site
stacking of the east bound (inbound) traffic from Silver Trails, but the smoother flow and possibly
easier merging at the internal intersection may help lessen the volume of queued traffic on the east
bound (inbound) access from Silver Trails. That should in -turn aid in reducing queued traffic on Silver
Trails trying to get to the school.

12110/2013: Section 3.5.3 of the Land Use Code establishes a'build-to-line' standard which requires
buildings to be built up to the street (between 10' and 25' from the ROW line of Horsetooth and S. Taft
Hill), and at comer lots, the building is to be built to at least 2 of the streets. This results in no parking
lots being located between the building and a street. The applicant should consider locating the

of 40' of clearance from shade trees and 15' clearance from ornamentals.

12/17/2013: Some outstanding comments remain for the PDR.
a) PUBLIC -SAFETY RADIO AMPLIFICATION SYSTEM - New buildings require a fire
department, emergency communication system evaluation after the core/shell but prior to final
build out. For the purposes of this section, fire walls shall not be used to define separate
buildings. Where adequate radio coverage cannot be established within a building,
public -safety radio amplification systems shall be designed and installed in accordance with
criteria established by the Poudre Fire Authority. Poudre Fire Authority Bureau Admin Policy
#07-01
We will schedule this inspection after drywall has been installed.
b) FDC - Fire Department Connections shall be installed in accordance with NFPA standards.
Fire department connections shall be fully visible and recognizable from the street or nearest
point of fire department vehicle access. The location of the FDC shall be approved by the fire
department.
Noted: FDC location will be submitted in sprinkler system permit for Fire Department review
c) All other PFA comments relative to the PDP may be deferred until building permit (e.g.
Fire Alarm, Sprinkler System, Commercial Kitchen Hoods, Knox Box, Premise Identification).

01 /28/2014: Erosion Control Report and Escrow still needed. Erosion Control Plan had minor
redlines pertaining to Perimeter Protection on the SW side of the Site, Inlet protection on the to
be installed inlets, and the addition of a sequence chart. If you need clarification concerning
this, or if there are any questions please contact Jesse Schlam 970-218-2932 or email @
jschlam@fcgov.com
Revised Erosion Control Plan and Escrow Estimate have been submitted and approved by Jesse.
Erosion Control Report has been submitted.
12/17/2013: After a quick review of the Landscape plan for temporary and permanent seeding,
it was noted that the plan was a bit confusing with the Key versus In Plan Notes (i.e. hatch work
showed Temporary seeding but notes called out for Permanent seeding and vice -versa) Also,
a seed mix showing the Pure Live Seed ratio would be recommended either on the landscape
plan or later in the erosion control plan. If you need clarification concerning this, or if there are
any questions please contact Jesse Schlam 970-218-2932 or email @ ischlam(cD-fcgov.com
Landscape plan has been amended to clarify the permanent vs. the temporary seed areas.
PLS ratio has been added to the seed mix on Sheet L-2.

02/04/2014: The City would like a meeting to discuss options for the LID requirements. The
City is OK with delaying the porous pavers until phase 2. The meeting would focus on the 50%
site area draining into an infiltration system requirement.
A concrete forebay has been added to each pond in addition to the proposed PLD system at the bottom of
each pond per meeting with the City Stormwater and Water Quality Departments.
