1. It doesn't appear that this project will require water or sewer services for any purpose other
than potentially irrigation of landscape areas. However, please contact Heather McDowell at
(970) 224-6065 in Water Utilities Engineering if this changes.
Page 2 of 9
2. If an irrigation tap is n�ed, there is an existing 8-inch water n in College Avenue and an
existing 4-inch main i gnolia Street that could be tapped ir�
3. The water conservation standards for landscape and irrigation will apply. Information on
these requirements can be found at: http://www.fcgov.eom/standards
4. Development fees and water rights will be due at building permit.
Department: Traffic Operations
Contact: Martina Willcinson, 970-221-6887, mwilkinsonCa�fcqov.com
'i. Since the parking lot isn't a land use that generates traffic, plus the property is already a
parking lot, this proposal is not expected to generate any additional traffic and as swch there
is no requirement for a traffic impact study.
Acknowledged
2. The closure of fhe aceess on College is very helpful. We'll need to work with CDOT
(Department of Transportation) on a change in use permit for that closure.
Acknowledged
3. Can one (or maybe even both?) of the aceesses on Magnolia be elosed? With an alley
access and perhaps one access on Magnolia that would seem to provide adequate access,
and allow for additional, on-street parking to be striped.
There is only one access from Magnolia Street and one access from the alley. The
eastern access from Magnolia Street has been removed and the western access on
Magnolia has been shifted to accommodate the width of the parking stalls and drive
aisle.

Contact: Heidi Hansen, 970-221-6854, hhansenCa�fcqov.com
1. A portion of the existing parking lot is located in the City regulated, 100-year Old Town
floodplain. City regulated floodway extends to the back of walk. A Flood Risk Map is
attached.
A flood report for the site has been provided.
2. Any new construction and/or site work within the 100-year floodplain must obtain a
Floodplain Use Permit and cornply with the safety regulations of Chapter 10 of City Mu. nicipal
Code. The permit form can be obtained at
http://www.fcgov. com/uti I ities/what-we-do/stormwateNflood i ng/forms-docu ments.
A flood use permit has been filled out and provided.
3. Portions of the existing sidewalk, landscaping, and the street improvements are in the
100-year floodway. Nonstructural development (curb-cuts, driveways, sidewalks, vegetation,
etc.) can be built within the floodway as long it can be proven that the work will not cause a
change in the Base Flood Elevation (BFE), or a change to the boundaries of the floodway or
flood fringe. This is called a No-Rise Certification and it must be performed, and signed, by a
Professional Engineer registered in the State of Colorado. The no-rise certification must be
submitted as a part of the floodplain use permit if fhere will be work done in the floodway.
The no-rise certification is provided in the flood use permit.
4. Development review checklists for floodplain requirements can be obtained at
http://www.fcgov.com/utilities/what-we-do/stormwater/flooding/forms-documents. Please
utilize these documents when preparing your plans for submittal.
The development review checklists for floodplain requirements was used for

preparing this sub�l. �
5. The boundaries of the floodplain and floodway should be included on any plans. Contact
Beck Anderson of Stormwater Master Planning at banderson@fcgov.eom for floodplain CAD
line work, as required per the floodplain development review check list.
The floodway and floodplain boundary have been included in the plans.
6. Please contact Heidi Hansen with any questions about these comments or to schedule a
meeting to discuss any requirements for development in the floodplain. hhansen@fcgov.com

Acknowledged.
7. The design of this site must conform to the drainage basin design of the Old Town Basin
Master Drainage Plan as well the Fort Collins Stormwafer Criteria Manual.
The site design conforms to the Old Town Basin Master Drainage Plan and Fort
Collins Stormwater Criteria Manual.
8. In the Old Town Basin, when improvements are being added to an existing developed site,
onsite detention is only required if there is an increase in impervious area greater than 5000
square feet. If it is greater, onsite detention is required with a 2-year historic release rate for
water quantity. Parking lot detention for water quantity is allowed as long as it is not deeper
than one foot. The existing lot is a gravel parking lot, so the assumed existing
imperviousness is 40%.
Page 4 of 9
On-site detention w� required for the site. The void sp�in the subbase of the
permeable pavers h_ sufficient volume for detention on The detention pond will
release at the 2-year historic rate.
9. Stormwater outfall options for this site appear to be the following:
a. At street level - either the adjacent streets Magnolia or College;
b. Connection to the existing storm pipe and inlet in Magnolia Street, just west of the alley.
Option B will be used
10. It is important to document the existing impervious area since drainage requirements and
fees are based on new impervious area. An exhibit showing the existing and proposed
impervious areas with a table summarizing the areas is required prior to the time fees are
ealculated for eaeh building permit. The exisfing lot is a gravel parking lot, so the assumed
existing imperviousness is 40%.
The existing and proposed imperiousness is documented in Appendix A of the
Drainage Report.
11. A drainage report and consfrucfion plans are required and they must be prepared by a
Professional Engineer registered in the State of Colorado. The drainage report must
address the four-step process for selecting structural BMPs. There is a final site inspection
required when the projeet is complete and the maintenance is handed over to an HOA or
another maintenance organization.
A drainage report with the four-step process and construction plans are provided.
12, Water qwality treatment for 50% of the site is provided for in the Udall Natural Area water
treatment facility. However additional onsite water quality treatment is encouraged as
described in the Fort Collins Stormwater Manual, Volume 3-Best Management Practices
(BMPs). Extended detention is the usual method selected for water quality treatment;
however the use of any of the BMPs is encouraged.
(http://www.fcgov.com/utilities/business/builders-and-developers/development-forms-guideli
nes-regu lati ons/stormwater-criteria)
Permeable pavers are being proposed for onsite water quality treatment.
13. Low Impact Development (LID) requirements are required on all new or redeveloping
property which includes sites required to be brought into compliance with the Land Use
Code. These require a higher degree of water quality treatment with one of the finro following
options:
a. 50% of the newly added or modified impervious area must be treated by LID
techniques a..nd 25% of new paved areas must be pervious.
b. 75% of all newly added or modified impervious area must be treated by LID techniques.
The LID requirernents were met using Option A.
14. The 2016 city wide Stormwater development fee (PIF) is $8,217/acre for new impervious
area over 350 sq.-ft., and there is a$1,045.00/acre review fee. No fee is charged for existing
impervious area. These fees are to be paid at the time each building permit is issued.
Information on fees can be found at:
http://www.fcgov.com/utilities/business/builders-and-developers/plant-investment-developme
nt-fees or contact Jean Pakech at 221-6375 for questions on fees. There is also an erosion
control escrow required before the Development Construction permit is issued. The amount
of the escrow is determined by the design engineer, and is based on the site disturbance
area, cost of the measures, or a minimum amount in accordance with the Fort Collins
Stormwater Manual.
The fees will be paid at the time each building permit is issued.

1. In regard to LED light fixtures, cooler color temperatures are harsher at nighf and cause
more disruption to circadian rhythms for both humans and wildlife. Please consider a
warmer color temperature (3000K or less) for your LED light fixtures. Please also consider
fixtures with dimming capabilities so that light levels can be adjusted as needed.
3000k LED lamping will be specified.
2. With respect to landscaping and design, the City of Fort Collins Land Use Code, in Article
3.2.1 (E)(3), requires that you use low-water-use plants and grasses in your landscaping or
re-landscaping as much as possible. Native and wildlife-friendly Iandscaping is encouraged
as well.
The majority of plants and grasses used in the landscaping are low- or very-low-
water use plant.
3. The applicant should make note of Article 3.2.1(C) that requires developments to submit a
landscape and tree protection plan, and if receiving water service from the City, an irrigation
plan, that: "...(4) protects significant trees, nafural systems, and habitat, and (5) enhances
the pedestrian environment". Note that a significant tree is defined as a tree having DBH
(Diameter at Breast Height) of six inches or more. If any of the trees within this site have a
DBH of greater than six inches, a reyiew of the trees shall be conducted with Tim Buchanan,
City Forester (970-221-6361 or tbuchanan@fcgov.com) to determine the status of the
exisfing trees and any mitigation requirements that could result from the proposed
development.
A Tree Protection Plan will be part of the submittal; however, a tree review with the
City Forester is pending.

compliance.
There are no proposed encroachments in the public ROW.
16. Any rain gardens within the right-of-way cannot be used to treat the developmenU site storm
runoff. We can look at the use of rain gardens to treat street flows — the design standards for
these are still in development.
No rain gardens are proposed for the site.
17. Bike parking required for the project cannot be placed within the right=of-way and if placed
just behind the right-of-way need to be placed so that when bikes are parked they do not
extend into the right-of-way. It appears that the bike parking shown on Magnolia Street will
extend into the right of way. If only a bench is proposed, the bench needs to be set back at
least 2 feet from the ROW.

1. The proposed parking lot is required to be screened from the public ROW and adjacent
properties. The following standards and guidelines apply to the screening:
LUC
Section 3.2,2(J) requires a 15 foot landscape setback from the ROW.
Seetion 3.2.2(J) requires a 5 foot landscape setback from adjaeent property lines.
Section 3.2.1(E)(4) requires trees along the street property line spaced at 25` and along the
adjacent property line at 40'. Also, the parking lot must provide "Screening from the street
and all nonresidential uses shall consist of a wall, fence, planter, earthen berm� plant material
or a combination of such elements, eaeh of which shall have a minimum height ofthirty (30)
inches. Such screening shall extend a minimum of seventy (70) percent of the length of the
street frontage of the parking lot and also seventy (70) percent of the length of any boundary
of the parking lot that abuts any nonresidential use. Openings in the required screening shall
be permitted for such features as access ways or drainage ways. Where screening from the
street is required, plans submitted for review shall include a graphic depiction of the parking
lot screening as seen from the street. Plant material used for the required screening shall
achieve required opacity in its winter seasonal condition within three (3) years of construction
of the vehicular use area to be screened." -- the most appropriate screening for this area of
#own would be a brick wall with Iandscaping integrated. Concepts for the screening wall can
be found in the RDR Design Guidelines:
