RE: Famous Daves at FRV lot 7
Jason,
We'll need 7 signed and stamped prints and one mylar copy. Also, I have the Famous Dave's
mylars and will look to get the sign off done for Engineering tomorrow before noon.
Finally, FYI, I received a voicemail from Bob Randall with Famous Dave's — he was
inquiring about the DCP process. I left him a voicemail in return indicating that you may
already have been working on items relating to the DCP (cost estimates?) based on what I
thought I might have remembered.
Thanks,
Marc P. Virata, P.E.

Thanks Marc,
I just received a water line record drawing mylar with signatures. How many copies
of that sheet C-189, do I need to resubmit.

Jason, I know that Stormwater signed off on them a few days ago and they
were then given to Water/Wastewater. I will check with Roger for a
status check.

mylars for internal recording. Also, please note that the north elevation appears
to be incorrectly labeled as the east elevation. And, that the east elevation is
incorrectly labeled as the north elevation. Also, please provide vertical
dimensions and specify the colors.
Robert's Response: The elevation descriptions have been corrected. The
vertical dimensions and colors have been added. We have included 24 x 36
renderings.
17. Two lighting schedules were submitted. One is on sheet EO.1 and one is on an
unlabeled sheet but is marked "Visual" in the upper right corner. I suspect that
sheet EO.1 prevails. But, please clarify to which schedule the point by point
illuminance plot is tied to and delete the schedule that does not apply.
Hyde Response: The lighting schedule on the photometric calculation
sheet is generated by the lighting program. This photometric calculation
sheet is for reference only. The schedule on the electrical sheet is the most
accurate.
18. Please include in the schedule the 15 decorative wall fixtures. These are
attractive fixtures but we need to be sure that they are fully shielded so the lamp
is not exposed. Be sure to specify the type of lamp and wattage.
Robert's Response: A schedule has been provided which demonstrates
the type and wattage of the decorative wall fixtures. The fixture being used
is the Angle Shade fixture with a 200W bulb.
19. Note that three of the four pole -mounted fixtures are located within landscape
islands and will conflict with tree canopies at maturity.
Hyde Response: All light fixtures have been removed from the islands and
placed in the parking field to prevent this conflict.
20. Thank you for providing a picture of the Thornton facility. Note that the blue
handicap parking signs do not have to exceed 60 inches. The ones in Thornton
look excessively high and detract from the building.
Robert's Response: You are welcome. Comment noted.
21. Please label all the sheets sequentially.
Stantec Response: All sheets have been labeled sequentially as redlined.
22. As a precaution, please note that the depiction of signage on the plans does not
constitute any review or approval. All signs are subject to a separate Sign Permit
and review process independent of this Minor Amendment.
Robert's Response: Comment noted.
23. Please add the Standard Notes 1 — 9 and 13, 14 from the Cover Sheet of the
Final Plan.
Stantec Response: The notes indicated above have been added to the site
plan.

Please have the titles of all drawings be revised to start with: "Front Range Village
First Replat, Lot 7", "Famous Daves of America Inc." can be added afterwards, (or
as appropriate).
Stantec Response: The title of the drawings has been revised to Front Range
Village (First Replat), Lot 7, Famous Daves BBQ.
2. Revise the vicnity map on the construction drawings cover sheet to avoid shading
and raster images that in general won't scan/reproduce well.
Stantec Response: The shading on the vicinity map has been removed.
3. Evidence of permission for work offsite on Lot 6 appears required. (Which other
departments may require as additional drainage easement in this area.
Stantec Response: Eric Mallory has sent an email to Ted Shepard indicating
that Front Range Retail Company approves of the work on lot 6. A copy of
this email is attached. A drainage easement was recorded with the original
plat of lots 6 & 7 for the purposes of conveying drainage across the lots.
4. Will a joint access easement be recorded between the two properties to ensure
that joint use of the driveway between Lots 6 and 7 is preserved?
Stantec Response: Yes, a private agreement between the parties, being
Front Range Retail Company, Famous Daves, and future lot 6 owner will
provide for continued joint access to both lots 6 S 7. A copy of this
agreement will be provided upon request. Please contact Eric Mallory for a
copy of this agreement.
5. Can the developer and/or Bayer work out an arrangement with Harmony Corporate
Center to remove the unused driveway approach just east of the proposed
building? It is likely that the area will be incorrectly used for parking and/or vehicles
may inappropriately try to turn into this area. Ideally curb and gutter would continue
straight across from the PCs, the excess asphalt is removed and sidewalk is
provided with irrigation. With outdoor eating apparently at the southeast corner of
the building, I would think the desire to remove this unused driveway cut is more
magnified. Engineering does not need to revise the existing development
agreement for Front Range Village. Other departments though, may have concerns
and may result in the need to either revise the previous development agreement for
the overall site or require a development agreement specific to this lot.
Stantec Response: Yes, Bayer Properties is working on an agreement with
HCC to remove the existing driveway approach. This will be replaced with
new curbing, sidewalk, and landscaping.

1. Please show drainage basins and drainage summary table on drainage plan.
Stantec Response: The drainage Basins and Hydrology Table have been
added to the Drainage and Erosion Control Plan.

2. Compare to FRV assumed areas going to the north pond and to the East pond on
HCC property.
Stantec Response: Please refer to the added text in the Lot 7 Final Drainage
and Erosion Control Study under Drainage Facility Design / Specific Details B.1
— B.3.
3. Please discuss in the drainage report how the basin sizes and impervious areas
generated by this site compare to those assumed by the FRV drainage model with
emphasis on how this site complies with the assumed basin sizes and impervious
areas in that model.
Stantec Response: Please refer to the added text in the Lot 7 Final Drainage
and Erosion Control Study under Drainage Facility Design / Specific Details B.1
— B.3.
4. How will the swale on the south end of the building tie into the existing pavement?
Current design would cause a low spot at the tie-in point causing a nuisance area. It
is suggested that a sidewalk chase be added if the stub form HCC is removed and
the sidewalk is extended.
Stantec Response: We have reconfigured the area you are referring to. There
will be a sidewalk chase and a concrete chase to carry flow from the swale into
the existing flowline.
5. Please use wattle inlet protection on the existing inlets along the HCC entrance, as it
is easier to maintain these than a straw bale inlet filter.
Stantec Response: We have revised the Erosion Control Plan to reflect these
changes
6. Why is sod grass assumed as an erosion control method in the escrow calculations?
Please use a re -seeding cost per square foot, which would considerably reduce the
figure for the erosion cost security requirement.
Stantec Response: Thank you for pointing this out. We used Gravel Mulch
instead of the sod grass in the Erosion Control Estimate which reflects the
effectiveness calculations done in the Front Range Village Master Drainage
Study.
7. Any work on the adjacent lot (Lot 6) would require approval from that lot's property
owner. Please provide written approval from that lot's owner.
Stantec Response: Eric Mallory has sent an email to Ted Shepard indicating
that Front Range Retail Company approves of the work on lot 6. A copy of this
email is attached.
8. Does the proposed inlet on Lot 6 first replat fall within an existing drainage
easement? If not, an easement would need to be dedicated there.
Stantec Response: A drainage easement was recorded with the original plat of
lots 6 & 7 for the purposes of conveying drainage across the lots.

Curb stop and meter pit must a maximum of 2 feet apart. In addition, provide 5-foot
separation from gas and electric lines.
Stantec Response: The existing curb stop will remain in place and the
proposed meter pit has been relocated to a point within a new landscaping
island 2 feet from the curb stop. The gas and electric lines running along the
North property line of Lot 7 are already installed and are believed to be approx.
5 feet from the existing curb stop.
2. Provide traffic -rated clean -outs for all clean -outs in paved or sidewalk areas. Include
traffic -rated clean -out detail.
Stantec Response: Traffic rated sanitary sewer cleanouts have been called out
and the detail replaced with a traffic rated cleanout detail.
3. Determine size of water meter and water service to building now to be included on
utility plans.
Stantec Response: The proposed plan is to utilize the existing 2" domestic
water service, but reduce this to a 1.5" line and meter setting, then upsize this
line back to 2" to run to the building.

Need an architectural site plan. Site plan must have normal land use data table and
notes regarding lighting, trash, screening, use, etc. which are typically shown on
normal PDP plan. Show lot line dimensions on site plan.
Stantec Response: An architectural site plan has been provided by BHA. This
plan shows the land use table and notes as indicated.
2. 1 assume there will be a trash enclosure. Please show location and indicate
materials/color, etc.
Stantec Response: See architectural building elevations. The trash enclosure
will be part of the back of house enclosure.
3. Need a bike rack near front entrance.
BHA Response: Yes, it is near the To -Go entrance.
4. The number of parking spaces proposed exceeds max. of 10/1000 s.f. for a
restaurant use, but we are considering this as part of the shopping center parking lot,
which allows up to 5spaces/1000 s.f. Need updated parking ratio count for the center
and Famous Dave's.
BHA Response: An overall land use table on the cover sheet has been
provided as an overall running tally with Lot 7 information added. A separate
table is provided on the site plan specific to Lot 7 only. It appears we are well
under the 5 spaces per 1,000 SF on the overall land use table.
5. It appears that there are two projecting signs - the "flying pig" and the "to go" sign. It
also appears that both project from the face of the canopy cover. Sec. 3.8.7(J) does

not allow signs to project from the face of a canopy, nor can they be on top of the
canopy. Therefore, the signs will need to be flushwall, or will need to be relocated to
a location where they project from the wall of the building. If they are relocated,
projecting wall signs may not project more than 6' from the wall and can't exceed 15
s.f. per side.
Roberts Response: We can eliminate the "PIG" sign and mount the to -go sign
flush on the wall above the doorway.
6. It appears that the east and north labels on the architectural elevations are switched.
Roberts Response: The elevations have been adjusted to depict each
elevation clearly.
7. Show parking lot light pole locations on architectural site plan. Are pole heights taller,
shorter, or the same as poles in the rest of the center?
BHA Response: The light pole heights are the same as shown on the Front
Range Village project. We have attached a copy of the lighting plan from the
FRV project as a reference.
If you have any questions regarding these issues or any other issues related to this project,
please feel free to call me at (970) 482-5922.

Ted,
Front Range Retail Company LLC is in the process of creating the easement agreement to share the common access
drive between lots 6 an 7. This easement agreement, or other agreement, will give Famous Daves the access to
perform this work on lot 6. We are also in the process of completing a temporary construction easement agreement with
HCC to modify the curb cut that is to the east of the proposed Famous Daves building to be built on lot 7. These
agreements may not be completed by next Monday, but I don't anticipate any issue with any of these agreements.
Please let me know if need any additional information.

This letter is in response to Staff Review Comments for the Famous Dave's project. Our
responses are shown in bold text below your comments.
Department. Current Planning
Issue Contact. Ted Shepard
1. On the Cover Sheet, in the Land Use Table, the Building Coverage total of 810,595
square feet appears low. At the P & Z Hearing in September of 2006, Staff indicated to the
Board that the total square footage of gross leasable area was 850,000 square feet. Please
use Gross Leasable Area, not Building Coverage as the proper metric by which to establish
the running tally for the number of parking spaces to building square footage ratio. Be sure
to add in the office floor area above the retail. By increasing this number, all nine pad sites
are eligible for additional parking.
BHA Response: Tables have been updated to reflect parking/building SF ratios in
terms of GLA not building coverage. The following three tables have been provided:
Overall Front Range Village (shopping center), Cumulative (overall with Lot 7), and
Lot 7 only.
2. On the Site Plan, please remove the contour lines. This layer is not needed.
BHA Response: Contour lines are removed.
3. On the Site Plan, please add the electrical transformer to both the plan and legend. If the
transformer is marked by the T, then it is not within ten feet of hard surface as required by
Light and Power.
BHA Response: Transformer was moved to within ten -feet of a hard surface and
landscape was adjusted.

4. Please add a note that handicap parking signs and "to go" parking signs shall not exceed
60 inches above the sidewalk.
Stantec Response: A note has been added to sheet C-110 regarding the sign height.
A note was also added to the Site Plan.
5. On the architectural sheet, please indicate the two colors of the building field. For
example, we typically see "Dryvit Parchment #36813" or "Dryvit Pearl #455A." This will help
with the building permit review.
Roberts Response: The building field EIFS colors have been added to the elevations.
6. On the Lighting Plan sheet 4 of 8, please add the information on the 15 wall -mounted
fixtures that was provided on separate 8 1/2 x 11 sheets. Please add these fixtures to the
Light Fixture Schedule.
Hyde Response: Specs on the wall mounted light fixtures has been added to the
Light Fixture Schedule on the lighting plans.
7. One final thought on lighting, for Famous Dave's, this will not be an issue requiring a
revision, but for future pad sites, please use a light loss factor of 1.00 in the Luminaire
Schedule. And, note that lighting levels for the Chase and Compass Bank will not need to
be as high as for a standard restaurant.
Hyde Response: Comment Noted.

1. Please coordinate the different titles between the bha and Stantec drawings, they still do
not match. Note that if the intention is to go with Stantec's complete title, remove the
reference to MA #5 in the title.
Stantec & BHA Response: The reference to MA # 5 has been removed from the Civil
plan cover sheet. Per Ted's direction the reference to MA #5 has remained for
Planning Department tracking.
2. The legal description shown on the first sheet of bha's drawings is technically incorrect,
it's Lot 7 of Front Range Village First Replat.
BHA Response: The legal description has been changed to the above.
3. We will need to have signed easement agreements from Bayer and Harmony Corporate
Center for the proposed work on their properties prior to sign off on the construction
drawings.
Stantec Response: Copies of the signed easement agreements with Bayer (Front
Range Retail Company, LLC.) and with Harmony Corporate Center (Case Grande
Capital Group, LLC.) are enclosed with this submittal.
4. The applicant will need to fill out a Development Construction Permit (DCP) application
and project quantities spreadsheet for review by City Inspection. This information will be
then used to determine whether a DCP or a lesser excavation permit is required, and
whether security requirements will apply.
Stantec Response: The applicant will fill out and submit a DCP application and
project quantities spreadsheet. This information will follow this resubmittal.

1. The proposed work on the adjacent lot (Lot 6 First Replat) should be approved by the
owner of that lot. The inlet proposed on Lot 6 should be within a drainage easement.
Stantec Response: The work on Lot 6 has been approved by the owner (Front Range
Retail Company, LLC.) and is demonstrated via the signed easement agreement.
Department. Water & Wastewater Issue Contact: Roger Buffington
1. It appears that a valve is shown at the end of the fire line that has been stubbed on the
site. There should not be a valve (existing or proposed) at that location. Could this be a
locater station for the tracer wire? If not, there should be one somewhere to facilitate
locating the line in the future.
Stantec Response: The symbol shown on the survey as an existing valve is actually
a temporary valve box containing a temporary blowoff. This will be removed when
the fire service line is extended to the building. A note indicating this has been added
to our plan sheet C-185.

Stantec Project # 187700050
This letter is in response to Staff Review Comments for the Famous Dave's project. Our
responses are shown in bold text below your comments.
Department: Current Planning
Issue Contact: Ted Shepard
The east -west drive aisles are too wide. Parking bays featuring 90-degree
parking stalls can be separated by a 24-foot drive aisle. Keep in mind that a
Residential Local Street in Fort Collins is 30 feet from flowline to flowline. Since
this parking lot will not experience the speeds and volume associated with
Residential Local Street, all drive aisles should be reduced in width to 24 feet.
Stantec Response: Per our discussion with Ted, the joint access drive
entry and drive isle has been maintained as 30 feet wide, but the remainder
of the drive isles have been reduced to 24 feet wide.
2. By reducing the four east -west drive aisles to 24 feet, an extra 12 feet can be
gained. These 12 feet should be applied to the south property line to mitigate the
long row of parking facing south. We are already conceding that the front of the
restaurant can face west instead of south. As part of this concession, the south
edge of the pad should be enhanced with additional landscape area and plant
material to screen the large parking lot.
Stantec Response: The additional space gained by reducing the drive isles
to 24 feet wide has been placed along the South property line for additional
landscaping space.
3. Within this enhanced landscape area, please plant additional trees from the Oak
palette. The Harmony Corridor calls for the "Harmony Oaks" concept to be

implemented on a corridor -wide basis. The City Forester has approved the
Chinkapin, Bur and English varieties as best suited to our local climate.
BHA Response: The previously approved Harmony Setback trees include
oaks. The revised planting plan has oak trees added to the parking
landscape.
4. There is a diminishment of trees along the south property line when compared to
the approved landscape plan for Front Range Village. Attached please find the
approved sheet from the Final Plan. There should be no loss of trees. While
trees can be shifted, there should be no loss of quantity.
BHA Response: The quantity of trees approved per Front Range Village
remains the same. These trees have been labeled on the plans. Trees
within the property line shall be installed per this project.
5. The shopping center is approved for five spaces per thousand square feet. We
need an overall running tally that demonstrates what the parking ratio for the
center would be by adding in 7,000 square feet with 105 parking spaces. We will
make a reasonable estimation of all nine future pad sites to make sure that at full
build -out, we maintain the 5.00 spaces per 1,000 square feet overall ratio. All
nine pad users will be asked for the same analysis.
BHA $ Bayer Response: An overall land use table on the cover sheet has
been provided as an overall running tally with Lot 7 information added. A
separate table is provided on the site plan specific to Lot 7 only. It appears
we are well under the 5 spaces per 1,000 SF on the overall land use table.
6. Add a connecting walkway from the building entrance to the public sidewalk
along Harmony Road. Be sure to reconcile any conflicts between the walk
alignment and landscaping.
Stantec & BHA Response: A connecting sidewalk has been added from the
restaurant entrance to the walk along Harmony Road and the Landscaping
has been adjusted accordingly.
7. Regarding the shared north -south drive aisle along the west property line, please
note that this can also be reduced to 24 feet wide. Also, could you have Bayer
Properties send us a letter or e-mail stating that they approve the sharing of the
portion of the drive that is on Lot Six.
Stantec Response: The shared access drive has been maintained as 30
feet wide. An email was sent to Ted Shepard from Eric Mallory stating that
Bayer approves of the shared driveway and for the work on Lot 6. A copy
of this email is provided.
8. Is there a screen wall that partially obscures the north side of the building?
Please indicate on the plans and call out the height and materials.
Robert's Response: Yes, there is a screen wall around the North side of
the building, which encloses the back of house area. The height will be
approx. 12 feet and the top of columns being 13'-8", and the materials and
finish will match the remainder of the building.

9. Regarding the architectural elevations, please refer to notes 10 and 11 on the
Cover Sheet of the Final Plan. The restaurant needs to tie into the center in
some manner. The most obvious common feature is the use of stone. In order
to match the center, please specify that this stone is to be "Eldorado Stone —
Western Series."
Robert's Response: We are using the "Eldorado" Cultured Stone and have
noted this on the revised elevations.
10. Thank you for adding a feature over the entrance along the south elevation. It
would look better if this doorway treatment included a metal roof that matches the
treatment along the west elevation. Please indicate how far off the wall this entry
treatment will project. The site plan does not indicate any columns that project
off the wall plane. Such feature should be illustrated on the right side of the west
elevation as a feature that is beyond the wall plane of the west wall.
Robert's Response: We have added a roof and porch projection at this
door location to further add the "front" feel you are looking for.
11. Please indicate on the architectural elevations that the dashed lines behind the
parapet represent roof top mechanical equipment that appears to be totally below
the top of the parapet. If, upon final inspection, rooftop equipment exceeds the
height of the parapet, then you will be asked to provide additional screening
based on how these units are represented.
Robert's Response: The roof top equipment is screened by the parapet
wall and notes to this affect have been added to the rendered elevations.
12. Please provide a cornice detail so we can see the measurements of the depth
and the three -dimensionality.
Robert's Response: This has been added to the elevation sheet.
13. Along the east elevation (labeled as the north) there is one column/pilaster next
to the door that does not extend past the roofline. Is there a good reason why
this column does not match the height of the others?
Robert's Response: You are correct; this was an oversight on our part and
has been revised accordingly.
14. Please label the red band around the roof line as painted and non -illuminated
Robert's Response: Your assumption is accurate, there is no light band.
Notes describing the cap flashing have been added to the plans.
15. Most commercial buildings feature a roof access ladder that extends above the
parapet in an unattractive manner. Although you are not showing one, my guess
is that such ladder will be along the north elevation. If provided, please notch the
ladder into the parapet as best as possible to minimize the exposure above the
parapet.
Robert's Response: The roof ladder is internal to the building; there is not
an exterior roof ladder.
16. For the next round, we will need to have the architectural elevations on a 24" x
36" sheet. At the time of final approval, we will need all sheets to be on 24" x 36"
