As you may be aware, we are experiencing staff shortages in a number of key departments, which has begun to impact the timeliness of our reviews. We recognize that development and construction play a critical role in our community’s vibrancy and economic recovery, and we have been exploring options for mitigating impacts to our customers. As a result, we will be making some temporary service level adjustments.Currently, one additional week of review time will be added to all 1st and 2nd round submittals (increase from 3 weeks to 4 weeks). Lengths of subsequent rounds of review will be considered after each round of review. Also, Completeness Checks will be performed on all initial and Round 2 submittals during this time. Please reach out with any questions or concerns.NotedComment Number: 4Comment Originated: 01/04/2022All "FOR HEARING" comments need to be addressed and resolved prior to moving forward with scheduling the hearing for this project.All “FOR HEARING” comments have been addressedComment Number: 5Comment Originated: 01/04/2022LUC 2.211 Lapse, Rounds of Review: Applicants, within one hundred eighty (180) days of receipt of written comments and notice to respond from the Cityon any submittal (or subsequent revision to a submittal) of an application for approval of a development plan, shall file such additional or revised submittal documents as are necessary to address such comments from the City.

Provide a typical detail view of wall/fence.A 4-ft wood low screen fence has been provided on sheet L-10Comment Number: 5Comment Originated: 01/03/202205/24/2022 FOR HEARING: Comment is still active.01/03/2022 FOR HEARING:Regarding the lighting fixture schedule, it is not clear what the BUG rating is for each respective luminaire. Additionally, fixtures C, SA3, SA5, SB, and SC propose a 4,000K temperature and should be reduced to not exceed 3,000K.Please update the photometric plan to demonstrate compliance with the LC1 Lighting Context Area consistent with the specifications in Tables 3.2.42,3, and 4.The photometric plan has been updated to demonstrate compliance with the specifications listed above.Comment Number: 6Comment Originated: 01/03/202205/24/2022 FOR HEARING: Met onsite with applicant team on May 13, 2022. Expect through further coordination that this comment will be resolved prior to the hearing.01/03/2022 FOR HEARING: The plan lacks compliance with 3.8.30(F) Design Standards for MultiFamily Dwellings. Big items for the plan to address are:Providing three distinctly different building designs. Currently the plan provides a single building design an no significant variation in materials. More work is needed to ensure that each of the three building designs be distinguished by unique architectural elevations and unique entrance features within a coordinated overall theme of roof forms, massing proportions and other characteristics. Such variation among buildings shall not consist solely of different combinations of the same building features.Three distinct building designs employing the features listed above have been provided with this resubmittal. We are currently showing 36-Plex, 24-Plex, and 3-Plex configurations each with distinctive architectural elevations and color schemes. Comment Number: 7Comment Originated: 01/03/202205/24/2022 FOR HEARING: Met onsite with applicant team on May 13, 2022. Expect through further coordination that this comment will be resolved prior to the hearing.01/03/2022 FOR HEARING:Greater variation in facades and walls. From the site plan view it appears that there is no variation in exterior walls. Standards require that each multifamily building be articulated with projections, recesses, covered doorways, balconies, covered box or bay windows and/or other similar features, dividing large facades and walls into humanscaled proportions similar to the adjacent single or twofamily dwellings, and shall not have repetitive, undifferentiated wall planes. Building facades shall be articulated with horizontal and/or vertical elements that break up blank walls of forty (40) feet or longer. Facade articulation may be accomplished by offsetting the floor plan, recessing or projection of design elements, change in materials and/or change in contrasting colors. Projections shall fall within setback requirements.Following our meeting on-site, we have modified the building facades to incorporate greater variation. 3D views have been provided with this resubmittal to further illustrate how the articulation requirements are being met.Comment Number: 8Comment Originated: 01/03/202205/24/2022 FOR HEARING: Met onsite with applicant team on May 13, 2022. Expect through further coordination that this comment will be resolved prior to the hearing.01/03/2022 FOR HEARING: Greater variation in color. Currently, sheet A6 demonstrate identical siding, stone, panel, and trim colors for all buildings. Standards require providing three distinct color schemes with no more than two (2) similarly colored structures placed next to each other along a street or major walkway spine. Colors of nonmasonry materials must be varied from structure to structure to differentiate between buildings and provide variety and individuality. Further, colors and materials shall be integrated to visually reduce the scale of the buildings by contrasting trim, by contrasting shades or by distinguishing one (1) section or architectural element from another. Bright colors, if used, shall be reserved for accent and trim.Following our meeting on-site, we have modified the colors and materials to incorporate greater variation between each building type. Comment Number: 12Comment Originated: 01/04/202205/24/2022: FOR HEARINGA few cleanup items for this comment. See redlines Sheet L1, Building 1 and Building 3 connections are required. For Buildings 5,6,7 the walkways are part of helping contribute to an equalto or betterthan approach for building orientation and block standards.01/04/2022 FOR HEARINGPursuant to 3.5.2(D)(2), please add at least one building entry or doorway to the sides of Building 5, 3 and 1 that face Brookfield and Precision Drive.Update: 3.5.2(D)(2) StreetFacing Facades. Every building containing four (4) or more dwelling units shall have at least one (1) building entry or doorway facing any adjacent street that is smaller than a full arterial or has onstreet parking.Almost all buildings have walkway connections as shown on your redlines. There are no doors on the 3-plex out to Le Fever or the drive aisle to the east of the building so there is no need for a walkway to that building. The bottom floor of the 3-plex is going to be used for maintenance equipment. Additionally, the units that face the pocket park on Buildings 7 and 8 do not have walkway connections for a variety of reasons. If we add 4 walkways it makes this pocket park not very usable. The AC units for these two buildings need to be on the park side because of utility spacing issues on the south side of building 7 and sidewalk issues on the north side of building 8. All other sidewalk connections have been made and we are hoping that if it is an absolute must that these connections be made we can work through these minor details during final.Department: Engineering Development ReviewContact: Sophie Buckingham, , sbuckingham@fcgov.comTopic: GeneralComment Number: 2Comment Originated: 01/04/202205/13/2022: FOR HEARING UPDATED:The existing property line still appears on the Horizontal Control Plan. Can this be frozen so that it only appears on the Existing Conditions sheet?Existing property line has been removed on Horizontal Control Plan01/04/2022: FOR HEARING:Please have the drawings reflect the proposed rightofway as the predominant property line instead of the existing property line prior to the rightofway dedication along streets. It is difficult to follow how the site development conditions (new sidewalk, utility locations. etc.) are situated in relation to the property line that is being established.ROW line is now the predominant property on all sheets other than existing conditionsComment Number: 3Comment Originated: 01/04/202205/19/2022: FOR HEARING UPDATED:Has Xcel confirmed that the gas line is okay to be installed one foot behind the sidewalk?Coordination with Xcel has not commenced because of the uncertainty of getting this site layout approved. There are no other utilities in the 9’ UE along the public ROW and we can always dedicate more easements internal to the site as we move through coordination with them once at final. 01/04/2022: FOR HEARING:Looking to confirm the gas location in relation to the sidewalk along the public streets. It appears to be depicted at the back of walk on some plans, or slightly behind the sidewalk on other sheets. Are the separation requirements between gas and electric sufficient for both providers?Comment Number: 5Comment Originated: 01/04/202205/25/2022: FOR HEARING UPDATED:This variance request is still being reviewed. I anticipate that it will be approved, but it may require some additional coordination. I will follow up when I have more information.The inset parking along Brookfield and Precision were requested by the cityto alleviate some of the concerns expressed by a few neighbors with regards to that corridor feeling congested and hard to navigate. The same variance request that was supplied with PDP Rnd 2 is the same variance request for PDP Rnd 3 excepted it is now addressed to you instead of Marc V.01/04/2022: FOR HEARING:We'll look to review a variance request for the next submittal pertaining to the street design for Brookfield and Precision with respect to the inset parking and sidewalk/parkway design. I am initially in support of the variance, but would want to verify if there are concerns from a utility or forestry perspective.Comment Number: 6Comment Originated: 05/19/202205/19/2022: FOR FINAL:For sight distance purposes, all shrubs and grasses in parkways must have a mature height of two feet or less. Please confirm the mature height of the shrubs and grasses to be planted in the parkways. Trees are okay as long as there are no branches in the first six feet above ground when the tree reaches its mature height.The tree lawn will be manicured sod and when shrub beds are used all material is a maximum height of 18”. A note has been added to the plans that tress within the parkway should be installed at the 6-foot clearance.Comment Number: 7Comment Originated: 05/19/202205/19/2022: FOR FINAL:The Existing Conditions and Demolition Plan should show street cuts for proposed utility stubs. Similarly, the Horizontal Control Plan should show asphalt patching over street cuts.Street cuts are now shown on existing conditions and horizontal control plan for patchingComment Number: 8Comment Originated: 05/19/202205/19/2022: FOR HEARING:The Utility Plans indicate a 10foot utility easement running through the southwest portion of the property. Please show this easement on the plat. Is this an existing or proposed easement?Not entirely sure what 10’ UE you are refereeing to. However, all 10’ UE shown on the plat are proposed and the plat now matches the utility plans. There are several small bump outs along the 9’ UE that is adjacent to the ROW and these are for the curb stops and they are shown on the plat. Comment Number: 9Comment Originated: 05/20/202205/20/2022: FOR FINAL:Please add a line type for existing curb and gutter to the legend on Sheet HC1.Existing C&G added to legend.Comment Number: 10Comment Originated: 05/20/202205/20/2022: INFORMATION ONLY:Thank you for submitting a variance request for driveway spacing on Cinquefoil Lane. This variance request has been approved by the City Engineer on May 20, 2022.We are no longer seeking this variance because this entrance has been removed.Comment Number: 11Comment Originated: 05/20/202205/20/2022: FOR FINAL:In the utility set for FDP, please include standard details for improvements, including but not limited to enhanced concrete paving, sidewalk chase, ramps, and types of curb and gutter, as applicable.All details will be provided at first round FDP.Comment Number: 12Comment Originated: 05/20/202205/20/2022: FOR HEARING:The proposed driveway onto Brookfield Drive is 128 feet from the intersection of Brookfield Drive and Precision Drive. This is less than the 150foot minimum per LCUASS Table 73. However, Engineering recognizes that this driveway is located directly across from an alley, and we will support the location of the proposed driveway. Please submit a variance request so that Engineering can formally approve the location of this driveway.Variance has been supplied and noted on general notes sheetComment Number: 13Comment Originated: 05/23/202205/23/2022: FOR FINAL:Electric lines along Brookfield Drive and Precision Drive are proposed under the inset parking areas. These electric lines will need to be installed before curb and gutter. The construction timing will be specified in the Development Agreement.Electric lines will be installed before curb and gutter.Comment Number: 14Comment Originated: 05/23/202205/23/2022: FOR HEARING:Thank you for showing proposed street crosssections on the cover sheet of the Utility Plans. Please update these crosssections to indicate that the 6foot parkway and 4.5foot sidewalk are existing conditions on the south side of Precision Drive and Brookfield Drive. This will help to clarify that this side of the crosssection is not part of the proposed variance from the current LCUASS crosssection. I would like this to be as clear as possible for members of the Planning and Zoning Commission.Cross-section on cover sheet has been updated.Comment Number: 15Comment Originated: 05/24/202205/24/2022: FOR HEARING:The existing rightofway for Cinquefoil Lane is 72.5 feet, so after rightofway dedication by The Savoy, the rightofway will be 76.5 feet. Please update the Cinquefoil crosssection on the utility plan cover sheet to reflect this rightofway total, and please doublecheck the existing widths of the west sidewalk and parkway and the roadway striping. As long as you are very clear that the only thing being proposed is the east sidewalk and parkway per current LCUASS, you will not need a variance request for the Cinquefoil crosssection.Cross-section has been updated. We are very clear throughout the plan set that we are only improving the area directly east of the back of curb on Cinquefoil to meet LCUASS standards. This includes the 8.5’ parkway and 5’ walk as shown on the site plan and horizontal control plan.

In Fort Collins, prairie dog colonies one (1) acre or greater in size are considered special habitat features (see LUC 5.1 Definitions). In addition, the Land Use Code requires that any prairie dogs inhabiting a site must be relocated or humanely eradicated prior to development activities [LUC 3.4.1(N)(6)]. Mitigation options are based from onsite assessment and include but are not limited to: active relocation; passive relocation; trap and donate; and paymentinlieu. Regarding black tailed prairie dogs and the project site:a. City Land Use Code requires that for any prairie dogs inhabiting a project site, prior to any site construction work, the animals must be removed either through relocation or humane eradication. Relocation is the City's first preference, followed by trap and donate.b. If this project proceeds in the development review process, at least a concept prairie dog removal plan will be needed prior to Hearing. c. Should this project achieve approval and proceed to construction, a burrowing owl survey, in accordance with Colorado Parks and Wildlife standards shall be provided prior to any prairie dog removal and prior to issuance of Development Construction Permit (DCP). The survey must be completed by a qualified wildlife biologist. d. Should this project achieve approval and proceed to construction, documentation needs to be provided prior to issuance of DCP (at least one week prior to DCP meeting is ideal) regarding the burrowing owl survey and the relocation of black tailed prairie dogs. Documentation should be in the form of a signed letter or memo from the wildlife biologist for the survey, and from the contractor(s) for the relocation (date, time, methods). The availability of relocation sites for prairie dogs was evaluated by ERO in late April 2022.  At that time, no relocation sites were available.  In light of the lack of relocation sites, the landowner made the decision to humanely euthanize the prairie dogs in accordance with the Fort Collins Land Use Code  LUC 3.4.1(N)(6) On July 19, 2022, ERO was notifed that the Pueblo site would be available for relocations starting on August 1, 2022.Comment Number: 2Comment Originated: 05/23/202205/23/2022: FOR HEARING: A local resident reached out Prairie Protection Colorado regarding the prairie dogs on site, and that organization is aware of a unique relocation opportunity.

Comment Number: 11Comment Originated: 12/20/20215/20/2022: INFORMATION ONLYThank you for updating the tree calipers to 2.0” B&B. This is our standard noted in the Land Use Code. Trees larger than 2.0” caliper will not only be very difficult to find in nursery stock, but they also take longer to establish. Thank you!You’re welcome!12/20/2021: FOR HEARINGPlease update all canopy shade tree calipers to 2.0” caliper B&B.Comment Number: 12Comment Originated: 12/20/20215/20/2022: FOR APPROVALContinued:No Armstrong Gold Maple – red maples do not do well in FC soils. Substitute Crimson Spire Oak, Regal Prince Oak, Scarlet Letter Oak (for upright, fall color). Please specify very limited quantities of Shangtung Maple. They are not planted very often in Fort Collins so we don’t know how well they perform. Please do not propose Norwegian Sunset Maple since they are half Shantung and half Norway maple. Norway maples do not grow well in Fort Collins.Please use fewer number of Eastern Redbuds and place them in very protected areas.12/20/2021: FOR HEARINGPlease do not propose the following species on this landscape plan.

We are okay with closer spacing on private property, however after a conversation with Light and Power, they prefer additional spacing between trees and transformers as well. If it is feasible to achieve 10ft spacing between trees and transformers/vaults on private property that is the preference from both Forestry and Light & Power. Thank you!12/20/2021: FOR HEARINGPlease review Forestry redlines and adjust tree/utility locations in order to meet required separation distances. *Please note that not all utility conflicts have been labeled but are redlined/identified to the best of my ability. Tree utility conflicts should be adjusted each round if necessary. 10’ between trees and electric utilities, public water, sanitary, and storm sewer main lines4’ between trees and gas lines10’ between trees and electric transformersTrees and shrubs have been adjusted to meet the minimum separation requirements. Additionally, a note has been added to the plans in the event that as built field conditions vary from the plan set.Comment Number: 14Comment Originated: 12/20/20215/23/2022: FOR APPROVALContinued:Please do not propose upright, deciduous trees in the City of right of way. These may be placed on private property, however they will grow too wide for the public right of way setting. Thank you!122021 FOR HEARINGPlease show all canopy shade trees in the right of way. There are several ornamentals proposed in the ROW on sheet L4. Please provide 3040ft spacing between shade trees. Ornamentals are acceptable to squeeze in an extra tree closer to a street light or if significant utility conflicts are present and prevent full tree stocking in the right of way. In general, shade trees provide more environmental benefits and are easier to maintain long term. Thank you for making this change!All ornamental trees have been removed from the city right-of-way with the exception of one Crimson Spire Oak located in an eight foot tree lawn signifying the entrance to the pedestrian spine walkway. A large canopy shade tree will not fit in this location due to a streetlight and utility connections. We can work with city staff to find an appropriate substitute or remove the tree at time of final plans.Comment Number: 15Comment Originated: 12/20/20215/24/22: FOR APPROVALContinued through final plan.12/20/21: INFORMATION ONLYFinal species counts will be performed during FDP.Acknowledged Comment Number: 16Comment Originated: 12/20/20215/23/22: DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT Continued through final plan.12/20/21: INFORMATION ONLYForestry will provide Development Agreement language (if appliable) to the CityEngineer during FDP.AcknowledgedComment Number: 17Comment Originated: 05/24/20225/23/22: FOR APPROVALThere are a few streetlight locations that are too close to canopy shade trees. Forestry would like to keep the canopy shade trees in lieu of swapping them for ornamental trees, so if it is possible to accommodate 40ft spacing between trees and streetlights that is preferred. Light and Power will provide updated light locations which may conflict with current street tree layout. Applicant should coordinate light location and tree adjustments with Forestry and Light and Power through the next rounds of review.As we continue to coordinate with City Light and Power we will continue to refine our separation to make sure we can, to the best of our ability, incorporate as many canopy shade trees as possible.Comment Number: 18Comment Originated: 05/24/20225/23/2022: FOR APPROVALThere are several locations onsite where trees are too close to the roof drain utilities.

Exhibit has been updated and no overhangs. All residential buildings front a public ROW now so no 26’ drive aisle is needed internal to the site. The clubhouse is only 1 story tall. Please note that the trash enclosure doors are shown as open in the drawings but they will be closed 99.9% of the time. Additional exhibits will be supplied if requested. 03/18/2022: UPDATED FOR HEARINGThe provided turning exhibit shows overhang into the parking areas. The outside turning radius of some corners are less than 50 feet which might be causing the overhang.12/20/2021: FOR HEARINGTURNING RADII IFC 503.2.4 and Local Amendments: The required turning radii of a fire apparatus access road shall be a minimum of 25 feet inside and 50 feet outside.All corners appear to be less than the required minimum turning radius. The North entrance median might make turns difficult without overhang.
