Project Summ
The Feeder Project involves a) the compatible adaptive reuse of the historic and structurally
sound Mill Building and Warehouse Addition as part of a destination restaurant and/or other
commercial uses, b) new Additions to same, which are essential to permit its successful
compatible adaptive reuse as a destination restaurant and/or other commercial uses, c) the
demoing of the Western Additions, four small existing additions/rooms which are structurally
deficient and least historic, and d) construction of an Apartment building on Willow Street
adjacent to the north.

Comment Number: 1
Comment Originated: 04/19/2013
04/19/2013: The buildings overall appear to be fairly consistent with the River District character.
In general historic River District architecture is characterized by simple brick patterns and
limited detailing. There are a couple details on the elevations which need to be addressed to
comply with 3.4.7 (F)(2): 1) A stone or brick base is needed on the Mill Building addition (grey
brick/stucco building). 2) Buildings in the River District do not have trim and comer blocks.
Please remove this detail from the mill building addition. 3) Consider replacing the half round
window from the mill building addition. 4) Willow Street building: Remove quions (a Georgian
architectural feature), which is also not found in River District, nor Fort Collins architecture.

04/16/2013: The number of compact parking stalls can't exceed 40% of the total number of
parking stalls in a long-term parking lot (employee, residential) per Sec. 3.2.2(L)(2). The
number shown exceeds that. The plan labels 27 garage spaces as'compact'. However, the
dimensions of nine of them are indicated to be 9' x 19', which is the size for a standard stall.
Why are these labeled as'compact'? The modification request includes reference to the
compact stalls, but doesn't give specifics as to the percentage of stalls, or for that matter, its
not clear what the request is for since no Code section references are included. Also, the
justification for the modification needs to more clearly explain how any of the modification
standards in Sec. 2.8.2(H) are met.

somewhat insignificant small ground cover marginally tough in urban settings, and is probably not
available in 5-gallon size. Its shown equal to the Arrowood Viburnum for size, and this is not likely to
ever occur. Especially on the northwest side of the apt. building, a larger screening shrub should be
used - more Arrowwod Viburnum?

The existing Siberian elms have the following diameters that should be placed on the plan. Also
please confirm the accuracy on the plan of the locations of the existing Siberian elms.
Siberian elm that is the east most tree at the comer of building is 36 inch DBH
Siberian elm just to the west of the above tree is 28 inch DBH
Siberian elm that is furthest the west has two major stems that are 12 inch DBH and 14 inch DBH.
Siberian elm that is furthest to the north is less than 11 inches DBH.
All existing trees are Siberian Elm and were rated as being in poor condition and of volunteer origin.
Siberian Elm are exempt from mitigation if they are less than 11 inches DBH, determined to be in poor
condition, or of volunteer origin, such as those that have sprouted from seed along fence lines, near
structures or in other unsuitable locations.
The statement from the applicant numbered 6.1, and at another place in the document, reflecting the

The massing, set back, and height of the mill building addition appear to be appropriate, meeting the
Secretary of the Interior Standards.
7/16/2013 Architectural detailing, including materials and stylistic elements, need further revision to be
compatible with the era of the Old Town Historic District and the River District, but distinct from the
historic mill to avoid diluting the emphasis on it. In general, the fenestration needs further revision.
Per comments from LPC rComplimentary Review on June 26, 2013, the segmental arches should be
omitted - a segmental arch in a wall that isn't masonry is not typical and appears "jarring."

7/16/2013: Continuing the fenestration comments, which reflect LPC review, the ganged casement

05/01 /2013, 7/16/2013:
As currently proposed, staff has concerns about the height, setback and step -back of the apartment
building relative to the Mill. Staff strongly recommends that the applicant take further advantage of the
design and land planning expertise of the Landmark Preservation Commission through the
Commission's Design Review Subcommittee and through Complimentary Reviews before the entire
Commission. It is likely that other configurations for the apartment building could be developed that
will address the concerns of height, set -back, etc., to create a better relationship between the two
buildings.
7/16/2013 Breaking the apartment building into two masses is an excellent way to reduce the
perceived mass. However, to accomplish this feeling of reduced mass, the tower element needs to
be recessed. If it is on the same plane of the building, or projecting forward, it adds to the very long
building mass, rather than breaks it up, and is not compatible with the historic character of the National
Register District.
Comment Number: 5.1 Comment Originated: 07/16/2013
07/16/2013: Fenestration: the previous comment about the windows is related to a suggestion that the
door could be centered in its portion of the elevation and flanked by storefront windows to further
reflect traditional patterns and proportions.
Comment Number: 5.2
Comment Originated: 07/16/2013
07/16/2013: Fenestration: staff is still waiting for official State comments but expects the State to
recommend omitting new windows being cut into the front portion of the southwest elevation (titled
"West Elevation" on the drawing, showing the partial front portion of that elevation.) Omitting all of the
windows would fix the problem of the title having the word "Existing" on the elevation drawing, which
shows proposed alterations with the additions of three windows.

07/16/2013: Apt. Bldg: the central tower component of the Willow Street elevation should be recessed
by several feet; this would place the emphasis on the two brick building masses as two separate
masses proportioned to be compatible with the historic district, and emphasizes the masonry over the
contemporary glass component. Omission of the peaked roof and angled windows would further
enhance the compatibility and fit of the building into the district as a place, whereas the peak and
angled windows stand out and grab attention.

1. 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 calculated for each building permit.
2. A drainage and erosion control report is required but it will be fairly simple because the site can drain
Into the storm drains in Willow St. or Linden St. without onsite detention. Water quality treatment is also
provided by the Bay Saver In Linden St. Onsite water quality treatment is still encouraged but is not
required. The primary document needed is a grading plan. The design engineer may also have to
verify street capacity if the site drains into the streets but if the runoff is collected into a pipe system that
is tied into the storm drains the street analysis would not be needed. These reports and plans must be
prepared by a Professional Engineer registered in Colorado.
3. The storm drain line that crosses the northwest corner of the site will need to be relocated and new
easements provided for the relocated storm drain.
4. The design of this site must conform to the drainage basin design of the Cache la Poudre River
Master Drainageway Plan as well the City's Design Criteria and Construction standards. This site is part
of the Downtown River District which has a separate storm drainage design even though the project site
Is in the Cache la Poudre Drainageway Plan.
5. The city wide Stormwater development fee (PIF) is $6,390.00/acre ($0.1467/sq.ft.) for new impervious
area over 350 sq.-ft., and there is a $1,045.00/acre ($0.024/sq.ft.) 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 on the City's web site at
http://www.fcgov.com/uflitiesibusiness/builders-and-developers/plant-investment-development-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 or a minimum amount in
accordance with the Fort Collins Stormwater Design Criteria.

1. Any exterior changes to or demolition of buildings 50 years old or older will need to be reviewed under

with a determination of eligibility, which identifies the appropriate review process(es). The determination
of eligibility requires current color photographs, of all sides of each building or structure. Sufficient
photos should be taken to show the current condition of the building, especially any previous alterations
or additions. Digital photos are encouraged, and maybe sent tojweinberg@fcgov.com or

a. Brick base has been added.
b. Trim and corner blocks have been removed.
C. Half -round window has been removed.
d. Quions have been removed.
Engineering
Comment 1— Revised.
Comment 2 — All entry doors now swing in or are recessed so that doors do not swing into public
right-of-way.
Comment 3 — Tree and light pole are relocated to avoid conflicting with 30-ft. drive off Linden
Street.
Comment 4 — A 30-ft. drive easement off Linden Street and a 28-ft. drive easement off Willow
will be easements for public access, utilities, stormwater and emergency access/fire. These
easements will be granted by separate document.
Comment 5 — Revision made.
Comment 6 — Revised.
Comment 7 — The Linden Street streetscape feature, which has been constructed from the
southeast comer of the Feeders Supply Mill building along the sidewalk to the northwest corner
of the Linden and Willow Street intersection, will be complemented and respected as follows:
The indoor -outdoor patio addition, which is planned on the east side of the mill building, will be
set back 10 ft. from this Linden Street streetscape feature which has been constructed and is in
place, and appropriate and complementary landscaping will be installed in this total 10 ft.
setback area.
FADocumentsTeeder Supply\PDP Documents\.Shephard.Response.Comments.062613.doc 1 7/3/2013 12:40 PM
Also, since the indoor -outdoor patio (now recessed 10 ft.) will have about a 34 inch floor
elevation, consistent with the mill building and with traditional loading dock heights, both the
existing Linden Street streetscape feature and the 10 ft. of landscaping behind it will
complement, but not obscure, the indoor patio.
Comment 8 — Acknowledged.
Comment 9 — More information has been provided.
Comment 10 — 500 ft. of additional offsite design on Willow Street has been provided.

Comment 1— Acknowledge that LUC 3.4.7 applies. See Project Update memo and renderings to
Anne McCleave, Restaurant/Commercial narrative and West Additions Demo Narrative
attached).
Anne McCleave has been communicated with numerous times, including most recently June 24,
2013.
Issue ID:1 - Acknowledged. Thank you.
Issue ID:2 - Acknowledged that LUC 3.4.7 applies.
Anne McCleave at the State Office of Historic Preservation, has been communicated with often,
including most recently on June 24, 2013. See memo and renderings to Anne McCleave and
narratives Restaurant/Commercial and West Additions Demo attached).
Issue ID:3 — Three windows proposed for the second story of the west side of the Mill Building
are essential for there to be adequate natural light in the second level for its compatible adaptive
reuse as banquet room and conference room. It is important to note, however, that these three
windows face internally into the front patio area and do not impact either the Mill Building's
Linden or Willow Street frontage elevations.
The indoor -outdoor patio on the east side of the Mill Building is essential for the dining area to
have adequate square footage for a destination restaurant. It should be noted that existing
windows and doors will all be used and the indoor -outdoor patio will have a minimal profile so
as not to block the east elevation view of the Mill Building in any substantial way. Furthermore,
indoor -outdoor patio will be constructed from glass and steel with a "loading dock level" base,
FADocumentsTeeder Supply\PDP Documents\.Shephard.Response.Comments.062613.doc 2 7/3/2013 12:40 PM
which will fit in with the industrial nature of Willow Street. Also, its simple modem design will
not attempt to mimic historic Mill Building design features.
The two new doors and two new windows in the east elevation of the existing Warehouse
Addition (adjacent and to the north of the Mill Building) are required for fire exit and handicap
access by wheelchair for both the main level and the elevator to other levels, and fire sprinklers.
Anne McCleave at State Historic Preservation, has been communicated with often, most recently
June 24, 2013. See Project Update memo and renderings to Anne McCleave and Restaurant
Narrative attached.
In order to make a compatible adaptive reuse of the historic Mill Building and site
restaurant/commercial uses and for an apartment, it is essential that the existing West Additions
be demoed. They are structurally deficient and have limited historic value, compared to the Mill
Building and the Warehouse Addition. This same conclusion has also been reached by a study
commissioned by the Downtown Development Authority. See narrative attached for West
Additions Demo, which includes this report.
Issue IDA — Architectural detailing of the proposed West Addition to the Mill Building has been
changed in line with the advice from City Historic Department, City Advance Planning
Department and State Historic Office.
Issue ID:6 — The maximum height of the proposed Apartment Building, the top of the cupola is
60 ft., which is only 8 ft. taller than the maximum height of the Mill Building, the top of the
cupola, which is 52 ft.
The Apartment Building primary elevation (fourth floor cornice) is 46 ft., which compares
favorably to the primary elevation of the mill (the ridge pole), which is 44 ft.
In addition, the Apartment Building steps down to 36 ft. height at the south end of the apartment.
Then there is a 28 ft. drive between the two uses and in total, the Mill Building is 79 ft. distant
from the Apartment Building.
The result is that there is an excellent view of the north elevation of the Mill Building at about 30
degrees angle from over 150 ft. distance as you proceed south on Willow Street.
The Apartment Building is set back 2 ft., except for the central tower element. This setback a) is
consistent with relevant code provisions (1-15 ft.), b) consistent with other minimal setbacks in
the River District, (Lindell Mill, Freight Depot, Thompson Building, Feeders Supply Linden
frontage, Feeder Supply (modified), indoor -outdoor patio frontage, El Burrito Restaurant,
Giddings Machine Shop, Interstate Battery store and Rooftops on The River Lofts), and c) most
importantly, has no negative impact on the view of the historic Mill Building because of the
considerable distance of the Mill Building from the Apartment Building (78 feet).
FADocumentsTeeder Supply\PDP Documents\Shephard.Response.Comments.062613.doc 3 7/32013 12:40 PM
Thanks to the City Historic Department, we have had the benefit of both Bud Frick's and AE
Design's Dick Beardmore's expertise and insights and, most recently, Dave Lingle's expertise
and insights. They have provided constructive criticism of our plans and creative ideas as plans
have evolved. Their excellent ideas have included simplifying the detail of the West Addition to
the Mill Building, lightening the structure of the indoor -outdoor patio addition, "glass break"
between the mill and the West Addition, basing the architecture of the Apartment Building on
the design style of a historic mill building and d) constructing the central tower element of the
Apartment Building from glass and steel — a modern interpretation in comparison to traditional
brick and stone detail. Our thanks to all of them.
Also, we accepted the LPC's kind invitation to have a second complementary review before the
entire commission, which occurred June 26 h and was very positive. See Summary of LPC
Comments attached..
Also see attached 6/20/13 Project Summary memo and renderings to Anne McCleave at the State
Historic Office and the updated Apartment Narrative.
Issue ID:7 — The neoclassical elements, including quoining, the dentils and the ocular window,
have been removed from the Apartment Building, as requested, and as part of evolving the
architectural design of the Apartment Building to be a modern take on turn -of -the -century
industrial mill architecture. The central tower element with gable roof is important aesthetically
and also essential as a key functional element of the Apartment Building, as is explained below.
In summary, related to the tower design, we are meeting the City's new secure bicycle storage
requirement by having a "sports equipment alcove" in every unit. This means a large number of
bicycles will be entering the building and in the waiting area in front of the elevator.
Accordingly, there must be at least 10 ft. of open floor clearance in front of the elevator. In
addition, the elevator platform cannot be less than 6 x 7 ft. to accommodate multiple bicycles,
requiring exterior elevator shaft dimensions of about W ft. and all halls and clearances must be
4-5 ft., again to accommodate bicycles.
Accordingly, to accommodate elevator, stairs, mailboxes, two stairs accesses, two main level
courtyard accesses, two main level garage accesses, and two upper level hall accesses, central
tower element functionally cannot be less than 20 ft. wide and 38 ft. deep.
In regard to the gable design of the cupola for the tower, this is a) common for historic mill
buildings both locally (Rocky Mountain Grain and Coal Mill, Lindell Mill, Feeders Supply Mill
and Aztlan Building) and nationally, and b) solves the problem of accessing top elevator
equipment without an ugly roof access structure, as top of elevator equipment can be accessed
from inside, that is from the vaulted ceiling area of the fourth floor of the lobby.
Issue ID:8 — Acknowledged. Thank you.

1. The Landmark Preservation Commission (LPC) is expected to provide input on this item, since it is
located in a National Register District. As a result, some of the comments related to building design,
height, massing and materials may change as LPC input is received. Where building setbacks cannot be
maintained, elements such as walls, columns, hedges or other screens shall be used to define the edge
of the site and maintain alignment. Taller structures should be located interior to the site and structures at
the end of blocks shall be of a similar height to those structures on the adjoining block.
2. The RDR District development standards limit building height to a maximum of five stories, with stepping
down of buildings to a maximum of three stories along street frontages; however, since the site is within a
National Register District (and may be locally eligible for designation), new construction should be
designed to be similar or emulate the existing historic structure on the site In terms of height, setback
and/or width. There are specific roof pitch requirements in this district (4.17.D.3), that may apply,
depending on LPC comments and suggestions and the outcome of the LPC eligibility review. The
standards of the Transit Overlay District (3.10) also apply, as secondary standards to those in Article 4
(RDR District).

proportion, as well as create interest. Windows shall be individually defined and detailed and glass curtain
walls and spandrel -glass strip windows shall not be the primary style used. Textured building materials
with native and historic characteristics, Including brick, stone and wood (and materials with similar qualities)
must be used in a repeating pattern as integral parts of the building exterior. The Landmark Preservation
Commission may provide or suggestions on the use of building materials.
4. Outdoor spaces should be created through the use of balconies, patios, arcades, decks, porches, etc.
Walls, fences and planters must be designed to match or be consistent with the quality of materials, style
and colors of structures on -site or nearby.
5. Mechanical equipment (either roof -mounted or ground -mounted) must be incorporated into the overall
design of the building and site and screened from view.
6. Residential building entrances should be from the faWde along the adjacent street (Willow), to the extent
feasible.
7. Depending on the height of the proposed addition, a shadow analysis may be required, as per 3.2.3 of the
