Please also include a table with a summary of the proposed and existing uses of the site. Tables have been added as noted. Comment Number: 2 Comment Originated: 01/07/2015 01/07/2015: You will need to provide a trash and recycling enclosure on site and show this enclosure on the site plan. The enclosure will need to be screened from public view and provide walk-in access without opening the main enclosure service gate per section 3.2.5 of the Land Use Code. As part of the alley improvements this area instigared through the DDA a Co-operative Trash Collection agreement. Through this agreement there were a number of shared trash enclosures created for the businesses in the area to use. This eliminated numerous trash haulers, the wear and tear and pollution and many dumpsters from the alleys. Due to this trash enclosures are not needed for this property.

Also a Site Plan table should be included with parking calculations for both vehicle and bicycle spaces and existing and proposed land uses. A cover sheet has been added and includes an index, signature block, and calculations. Comment Number: 2 Comment Originated: 12/29/2014 12/29/2014: On the southwest corner of the property there appears to be parking spaces that extend outside the limits of the BDR. The BDR will need to include the entirety of the spaces. Or the portion of these spaces that are in the BDR boundary will need to be landscaped. The parking spaces mentioned are mostly in the property boundary of the adjacent property. We will be replacing the asphalt up to the property line, but not interfering beyond our property boundary. The existing concrete header is the property boundary and was put in during the alleys renovations. Due to the closure of vehicles in the alley an access agreement was made to give access to this adjacent property owner and this is why the parking is this way. Comment Number: 3 Comment Originated: 12/29/2014 12/29/2014: Where is the trash and recycling enclosure? This should be on a concrete pad located 20ft away from a public sidewalk and designed with walk-in access separate from the main service gate. As part of the alley improvements this area instigared through the DDA a Co-operative Trash Collection agreement. Through this agreement there were a number of shared trash enclosures created for the businesses in the area to use. This eliminated numerous trash haulers, the wear and tear and pollution and many dumpsters from the alleys. Due to this trash enclosures are not needed for this property.

Comment Number: 4 Comment Originated: 01/14/2015 01/14/2015: Will underdrains be used in conjunction with the rain gardens? It is possible to design these without the underdrain, but they tend to function better and require less maintenance with an underdrain. • NE RESPONSE. Per phone conversation with Shane Boyle it was explained that there is no existing storm sewer along College Avenue therefore not allowing an underdrain system to be used for proposed rain gardens.

College Ave. Emergency vehicles cannot take access off of an arterial nor can the alley be uses as a primary point of access. As such, an Emergency Access Easement on the property will be required. In addition to the design criteria already contained in relevant standards and policies, any new fire lane must meet the following general requirements: > Shall be designated on the plat as an Emergency Access Easement. > Maintain the required 20 foot minimum unobstructed width & 14 foot minimum overhead clearance. > Be designed as a flat, hard, all-weather driving surface capable of supporting 40 tons. > Dead-end fire access roads in excess of 150 feet in length shall be provided with an approved area for turning around fire apparatus. > The required turning radii of a fire apparatus access road shall be a minimum of 25 feet inside and 50 feet outside. Turning radii shall be detailed on submitted plans. > Be visible by painting and/or signage, and maintained unobstructed at all times. > Additional access requirements exist for buildings greater than 30' in height. Refer to Appendix D of the 2012 IFC or contact PFA for details. International Fire Code 503.2.3, 503.2.4, 503.2.5, 503.3, 503.4 and Appendix D; FCLUC 3.6.2(B)2006 and Local Amendments. As per meeting with Jim Lynxwiler: We are not using a plat, existing site. The emergency drive access has been modified. It now contains two bollards with a chain connection to signify emergency access only. It is not in excess of 150 feet; therefore, no turning apparatus is required. The No Parking Zone that runs in front of the building would operate as an emergency parking area in the event of an emergency. Comment Number: 2 01/06/2015: SECURITY GATES Comment Originated: 01/06/2015 The installation of security gates across a fire apparatus access road shall be pre -approved by the fire chief.

I didn't receive a copy of the TDRF applicant that was submitted so I don't know what numbers were used to calculate the fees that were submitted. I based the calculation on the acreage from the legal description for the site that was submitted (1.71 acres). • BOHEMIAN RESPONSE: Paid January 22, 2015. Comment Number: 2 Comment Originated: 01/07/2015 01/07/2015: 1 discussed this site and shared the plans with CDOT and Traffic Operations. The applicant will need to work with CDOT to get a new/ updated access permit for the access driveway out to College Avenue. Using removable bollards to control the access is okay, but bollards will need to be located behind the sidewalk - outside of the right-of-way for the control of the access point. You can also keep the other bollards that are being shown, but bollards just behind the sidewalk are required to prevent the area from being used as head in parking. The driveway will need to be reconstructed so that it is the width of the proposed driveway. The width and location of the driveway need to be shown on the plans and if you want to use the radius driveway the proposed radii. The driveway has been modified to match the proposed driveway width. Application for the updated access permit has been started with CDOT. The bollards have been moved to behind the sidewalk as requested. As per Fire comments a single chain between bollard will serve as the control for access as Fire does not permit removable bollards. Comment Number: 3 Comment Originated: 01/07/2015 01/07/2015: Most likely we will need to enter into a development agreement. I will send you an Information for Development Agreement sheet that will need to be filled out and returned. • BOHEMIAN RESPONSE: In Progress. All pertinent information has been provided to Sheri for development of the agreement. Comment Number: 4 Comment Originated: 01/07/2015 01/07/2015: Need to identify the sidewalk being replaced along College Avenue is to be 7 feet wide. The sidewalk has been modified to be 7' wide. Comment Number: 5 Comment Originated: 01/07/2015 01/07/2015: The site extents on the utility plans do not match what is shown on the site plan. The site extents on the site and landscape plans have been modified to match the civil site extents. Comment Number: 6 01/07/2015: The drainage report states that most of the drainage goes out to College Ave. How does it get out there? We don't allow concentrated flows or flows down a driveway to flow over a sidewalk, so it looks like sidewalk culverts are needed to take water under the sidewalk out to College Avenue. • NE RESPONSE: Per phone conversation with Sheri Langenberger we have revised the drainage report to clarify that the storm water discharges into proposed rain gardens/water quality ponds prior to exiting the site. There are no concentrated flows discharging onto College Avenue and therefore a sidewalk culvert is not needed. Overall the 100-year flows are being reduced and the existing site drainage conditions are being improved with this development. This has also been approved by the City Storm Water Department. Comment Originated: 01/07/2015 Comment Number: 7 Comment Originated: 01/07/2015 01/07/2015: Add notes to the plans that identify that the curb and gutter and flowline of the driveway need to be installed to match the existing original flowline of the curb. It looks like the curb and gutter in this area has been overlayed with asphalt and the replacement curb and new driveway need to be installed to the original elevations and then asphalt placed on top to match existing. NE RESPONSE: The contractor is planning to bore the proposed fire line and therefore the existing curb/gutter will not be disturbed. Just to be safe a note was also added to the Utility Plan Sheet C100 stating Contractor shall replace existing curb/gutter with new curb/gutter that matches existing conditions. New asphalt must also overlay new gutter so that existing flow line elevations are maintained to ensure proper drainage." A standard curb/gutter detail was also added to Detail Sheet C400. Comment Number: 8 Comment Originated: 01/07/2015 01/07/2015: The following additional details need to be added to the plans. Curb and gutter (for what will be replaced with the utility connections) I don't know what curb is out there, but provide the detail that matches the existing. Sidewalk 702, Driveway 706 or 707 Sidewalk Culvert D-10B The following details have been added: Sidewalk, Driveway, Curb and Gutter.
