The future Tire & Lube building, defined as Vehicle Service & Maintenance, is proposed to be 3,000 square feet in size. Based on the square footage there can be only 15 parking spaces associated with this building, per Section 3.2.2(K)(2)(a) of the Land Use Code. The table sets forth a maximum parking allowance of 5 spaces per 1,000 square feet of building. The conceptual site plan shows 17 parking spaces for this building. Contact: Lindsay Ex, 970-224-6143, lex@fcgov.com Please note the requirement in the Land Use Code for "Compatibility with Public Natural Areas of Conserved Land" (see Section 3.4.1(L)), which requires that "the development plan shall be designed so that it will be compatible with the management of such natural area of conserved land." Please illustrate in your submittal documents (including the statement of objectives) how the site plan is compatible with the Springer Natural Area management plan or objectives; the plan for this Natural Area is available at http://www.fcgov.com/naturalareas/pdf/poudre-management-plan20l l.pdf. Given the site's commercial nature and location on Riverside, staff understands that limited opportunities exist. However, the use of native plants in the landscaping plan would be appropriate at this site. 2. The City's green building program has many programs that may benefit your project. Resources are available at the Green Building web page: http://www.fcgov.com/greenbuilding/.

This project is responsible for dedicating any right-of-way and/or easements that are necessary for this project. Riverside Ave. in this location is a 4 lane arterial requiring 115 feet of total ROW. For this project the City would require that the existing ROW on lot 3 be carried across to lots 1 and 2. This is a constrained arterial which is 102'. Due to the extent of proposed improvements, utility plans will be required for this project and recorded one the project is finalized. Acknowledged and provided. 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 hftp://www.fcgov.com/utilities/business/builders-and-developers/plant-investment-development-fees or by contacting Jean Pakech at 221- 6375. There is also an erosion control escrow required before the Development Construction Permit (DCP) is issued. The amount of the escrow is determined by the design engineer, and is based on the site disturbance area or erosion control measures shown on the site construction plans. Acknowledged 15. The future Tire and Lube building is shown within a Utility and Drainage easement which is not allowed. Therefore the easement needs to be vacated. In order to do that the drainage use of that easement must be mitigated. Other Utilities would also have to agree to vacate the easement which would be coordinated with the Engineering Department. This easement is proposed to be vacated.

The storage height must be indicated on plans. Hi -piled stock may be involved which will have an effect upon the fire sprinkler coverage, as will tire storage. 4. Disclose all haz.mats. available in the parts warehouse and the lube building 5. A water supply from a hydrant shall be available on site which will deliver a minimum of 1500 gpm @ 20 psi. 6. There will be more requirements during the building review which will provide more detail. Department: Environmental Planning evident what portions of the proposed work is in which area. The boundaries are shown on the drainage plan. 6. Although not apart of this submittal, the plans show a'Future Tire and Lube Building' on Lot 2. New nonresidential structures must be elevated or floodproofed a minimum of eighteen -inches above the Base Flood Elevation (BFE) for the property. Basements will only be permitted if all floors below the BFE are floodproofed and reserved for non-residential uses in perpetuity. Acknowledged; the building is elevated 18" above the BFE. 7. 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. Please contact Shane Boyle of Stormwater Master Planning at sboyle@fcgov.com for floodplain CAD line work as required per the floodplain development review check list. Acknowledged 8. The Floodplain Administrator for the Old Town Basin is Brian Varrella; 970.416.2217, bvarrella@fcgov.com. Please contact Brian or Mark Taylor, 970.416.2494, mtaylor@fcgov.com, to schedule a meeting as soon as possible. Acknowledged, meeting has occurred as well as email correspondence. 9. 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 is required. Ccalculations showing the existing and proposed imperviousness are included in the drainage report. 10. In the Old Town drainage basin a drainage and erosion control report and construction plans are required if there is an increase in impervious area greater than 5000 square feet. These must be prepared by a Professional Engineer registered in Colorado. Acknowledged and provided. 11. If there is an increase in impervious area greater than 5000 square feet, onsite detention is required with a 2 year historic release rate for water quantity. There may be an option where no onsite water quantity detention is required if the runoff can be discharged into the existing 108 inch storm sewer ahead of the peak of the storm sewer flows. The design engineer needs to document the timing of the runoff discharge compared to the peak flow in the pipe. No new connections to the 108 inch pipe are allowed and would be cost prohibitive anyway due to the size and depth of the 108 inch pipe. We are not providing detention and we are connecting to the 108" pipe at the junction box. 12. The proposed plan shows site improvements that would be within the drainage easement for the 108 inch pipe. If that pipe ever needs to be dug up and replaced a good portion of the parking lot, curbs, and landscape islands would have to be removed. The cost of removal and replacement of these improvements would be the responsibility of the property owner. That being said the possibility of the 108 inch storm sewer having to be excavated is very slim. Repairs would be attempted from the inside of the pipe before it would be excavated. Acknowledged 13. Water quality treatment is also required as described in the Urban Storm Drainage Criteria 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.udfcd.org/downloads/down critmanual vollll.htm) We are proposing the use of Snout sediment control structures in the proposed inlets. 14. The Stormwater development fee (PIF) is $6,313.00/acre ($0.1449/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 number of spaces. The bicycle parking is at least 5% of the total vehicle spaces. 5. 3.2.4 A lighting plan shall be submitted. 6. 3.2.5 Required to have trash and recycling enclosures for each building and shall be built upon a cement pad. Such enclosures shall be designed to allow walk in aces without having to open the enclosures main service gate. These enclosures shall not be within 20 ft of a public right of way (sidewalk). 7. 3.5.1(1)(3) Mechanical and Utility equipment shall match the color of the building surface it is attached to. Department: Water -Wastewater Engineering Contact: Roger Buffington, 970-221.6854, rbuffington(@fcgov.com 1. Existing water mains and sanitary sewers in this vicinity include a 12-inch water main and a 10-inch sewer in Riverside and a 27-inch sewer within an easement in the east and south portions of 937 Riverside. Acknowledged 2. The large storm sewer that parallels the sanitary sewer (west and north of the sanitary) may prevent any sewer connection to the 27-inch sanitary. If there is a connection to the 27-inch sewer, it must be at a manhole. Acknowledged, all connections are shown at manholes 3. If there are service bays in the proposed building, a sand and oil interceptor will be required. Acknowledged, a sandloil separator is shown 4. The water conservation standards for landscape and irrigation will apply. Information on these requirements can be found at: http://www.fegov.com/standards. Acknowledged 5. Development fees and water rights will be due at building permit. Acknowledged Department: Stormwater Engineering Contact: Glen Schlueter, 970-224-6065, gschlueterdfcgov.com 1. This project is located in a City regulatory 100-year floodway and flood fringe in the Old Town Basin, and must comply with Chapter 10 of City Code. Acknowledged 2. Although the building will not be in the floodway or flood fringe, portions of the parking lot and associated asphalt paving, curb & gutter, landscaping, etc. will be within the flood fringe. Acknowledged 3. Any and all construction activities in the flood fringe must be preceded by an approved floodplain use permit, $25 fee, approved plans and itemized cost list for work in the flood fringe. The permit form can be obtained at http://www.fcgov.com/utilities/what-we-do/stormwater/floodinq/forms-documents. Acknowledged, will be completed at building permit time. 4. Any work done in the Riverside Avenue right-of-way, including new or revised curb cuts, may be within the floodway. Permitting requirements in the floodway are the same as the flood fringe, but must also be preceded by a no -rise certification, and followed by a no -rise recertification after completion of the project. Acknowledged, no work is planned in the floodway. 5.

This project is responsible for dedicating any right-of-way and/or easements that are necessary for this project. Riverside Ave. in this location is a 4 lane arterial requiring 115 feet of total ROW. For this project the City would require that the existing ROW on lot 3 be carried across to lots 1 and 2. Comment has been acknowledged. This topic is still under discussion and consideration with the property owner. 7. Due to the extent of proposed improvements, utility plans will be required for this project and recorded one the project is finalized. Please refer to the Utility Plan. 8. A Development Agreement will be done with this project and recorded at Latimer County when completed. Comment has been acknowledged and accepted. 9. A Development Construction Permit (DCP) will need to be obtained prior to starting any work on the site. Comment has been acknowledged and accepted. 10. A utility coordination meeting on this site is suggested. Utility coordination meetings if requested are typically scheduled after the preliminary submittal of the project, but can be scheduled prior to submittal upon request. Please provide a site plan with preliminary utility layout for routing with the meeting notice. If you are interested in having a utility coordination meeting, please contact the development review engineer for scheduling. Please refer to Utility Plans. 5. A water supply from a hydrant shall be available on site which will deliver a minimum of 1500 gpm @ 20 psi. Please refer to Utility Plan. 6. There will be more requirements during the building review which will provide more detail. Comment has been acknowledged and accepted. Department: Environmental Planning Contact: Lindsay Ex, 970-224-6143, lex(dfcgov.com 1. Please note the requirement in the Land Use Code for "Compatibility with Public Natural Areas of Conserved Land" (see Section 3.4.1(L)), which requires that "the development plan shall be designed so that it will be compatible with the management of such natural area of conserved land." Please illustrate in your submittal documents (including the statement of objectives) how the site plan is compatible with the Springer Natural Area management plan or objectives; the plan for this Natural Area is available at htt p://www. fcgov. com/naturalareas/pdf/poudre-management-plan2011. pdf. Given the site's commercial nature and location on Riverside, staff understands that limited opportunities exist. However, the use of native plants in the landscaping plan would be appropriate at this site. Comment has been acknowledged and accepted. The plants and trees, alon Riverside, are existing. Future landscaping will include native plants. 2. The City's green building program has many programs that may benefit your project. Resources are available at the Green Building web page: http://www.fcgov.com/greenbuilding/. Of particular interest may be the Integrated Design Assistance Program, which offers financial incentives and free technical support to those interested in delivering high-performance buildings that exceed building code requirements for energy performance. Gary Schroeder (970-221-6395) is the contact person for this program. This is the direct link to the web page for this program: http://www.fcgov.com/conservation/biz-idap.php.

Latimer County Road Impact Fees and Street Oversizing Fees are due at the time of building permit. Please contact Matt Baker at 224-6108 if you have any questions. Comment has been acknowledged and accepted. 2. The City's Transportation Development Review Fee (TDRF) is due at the time of submittal. For additional information on these fees, please see: http:l/www.fcgov.com/engineeringldev-review.php Comment has been acknowledged and accepted. In order to do that the drainage use of that easement must be mitigated. Other Utilities would also have to agree to vacate the easement which would be coordinated with the Engineering Department. All remaining Stormwater comments have been acknowledged and accepted. Please refer to the Site Plan, Civil Plans and the Drainage Report. Department: Park Planning Contact: Craig Foreman, 970-221-6618, cforeman(&fcgov.com 1. 1; No comments Department: Historical Preservation Contact: Karen McWilliams, 970-224-6078, kmcwilliams(a)tcpov.com 1. This project has the potential to affect properties in the Laurel School National Register District, and therefore the project would be reviewed for compliance with LUC Section 3.4.7, Historic and Cultural Resources. Comment has been acknowledged and accepted. 2. Additionally, if the property contains any buildings or structures 50 or more years old, the demolition or exterior changes to these buildings would need to be reviewed under the City's Demolition/Alteration Review Process, City Code Section 14-72. This review begins with current color photographs of each side of each building or structure, provided by the applicant. Sufficient photos should be taken to show the current condition of each building, as well as any previous alterations or additions. Digital photos are encouraged, and may be sent to kmcwilliams@fcgov.com. Hardcopies may be sent to P.O. Box 580, 80522; or dropped off at the Development Review Center, 1st Floor, 281 N. College Ave., attn. Karen McWilliams. Comment has been acknowledged and accepted. Department: Fire Authority Contact: Ron Gonzales, 970-221-6635, rgonzales(oipoudre-fire.orn 1. Fire Containment or fire sprinklers are required for all buildings exceeding 5,000 ft2. The Warehouse will be equipped with a fire sprinkler system. 2. Emergency access is required via an Emergency Access Easement, which must be shown on the plat. Please refer to the Site Plans. 3. The storage height must be indicated on plans. Hi -piled stock may be involved which will have an effect upon the fire sprinkler coverage, as will tire storage. Please refer to the letter which addresses the Warehouse inventory. 4. Disclose all haz.mats. available in the parts warehouse and the lube building. Please refer to the letter which addresses the Warehouse inventory. 9. 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 is required. 10. In the Old Town drainage basin a drainage and erosion control report and construction plans are required if there is an increase in impervious area greater than 5000 square feet. These must be prepared by a Professional Engineer registered in Colorado. 11. If there is an increase in impervious area greater than 5000 square feet, onsite detention is required with a 2 year historic release rate for water quantity. There may be an option where no onsite water quantity detention is required if the runoff can be discharged into the existing 108 inch storm sewer ahead of the peak of the storm sewer flows. The design engineer needs to document the timing of the runoff discharge compared to the peak flow in the pipe. No new connections to the 108 inch pipe are allowed and would be cost prohibitive anyway due to the size and depth of the 108 inch pipe. 12. The proposed plan shows site improvements that would be within the drainage easement for the 108 inch pipe. If that pipe ever needs to be dug up and replaced a good portion of the parking lot, curbs, and landscape islands would have to be removed. The cost of removal and replacement of these improvements would be the responsibility of the property owner. That being said the possibility of the 108 inch storm sewer having to be excavated is very slim. Repairs would be attempted from the inside of the pipe before it would be excavated. 13. Water quality treatment is also required as described in the Urban Storm Drainage Criteria 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. (httpJ/Www.udfcd.oIWOOwnloads/down critmanual voilll.htm) 14. The Stormwater development fee (PIF) is $6,313.00/acre ($0.1449/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/utilities/business/builders-and-developers/plant-investme nt-development-fees or by contacting Jean Pakech at 221- 6375. There is also an erosion control escrow required before the Development Construction Permit (DCP) is issued. The amount of the escrow is determined by the design engineer, and is based on the site disturbance area or erosion control measures shown on the site construction plans. 15. The future Tire and Lube building is shown within a Utility and Drainage easement which is not allowed. Therefore the easement needs to be vacated. Contact. Glen Schlueter, 970-224-6065, gschlueter(cDtcgov.com This project is located in a City regulatory 100-year floodway and flood fringe in the Old Town Basin, and must comply with Chapter 10 of City Code.

A future 5,000 SF tire and lube facility is planned for Lot 1. The wholesale auto parts building will be constructed utilizing a pre- engineered steel building frame with upgraded flush, stucco embossed building panels on the north and east sides of the structure. Concrete masonry units (to match the existing Houska building), standing seam metal entrance canopies, aluminum storefront glazing and Kai -wall clerestory windows are also provided on the north and east elevations to break up the building planes and mass. The south and west building elevations are not visible from public rights -of - way and are standard ribbed metal building panels with minimal openings. The future tire and lube building is proposed to be of CMU exterior wall construction to match the existing Houska building to the west. The final design of this building has not been determined at this point. It is believed that we will closely follow the Goodyear prototype building that is included with this narrative. Several building offsets will face Riverside Avenue, but the building will essentially be a "reverse mode" operation. Until the time of construction of the tire and lube facility, the existing fencing along Riverside Avenue will .remain, as will the two access gates that secure the property at the two existing drive cuts. The existing landscaping along Riverside Avenue on these two lots is also proposed to remain. Access to the wholesale auto parts distributorship will be limited to the present hours of operation of Houska Automotive. Both existing access gates will be locked on off -business hours with no public access to the area. At the time of construction of the tire and lube facility, the portion of the existing fencing between the two existing drive cuts will be removed and the two security gates will be moved to the inward locations of the vehicle storage yard. Public access and visibility to the site will increase at this time and the additional landscaping at the perimeter of the vehicle storage yard will be provided. Both buildings are proposed to have exterior building mounted lighting. There are no free- standing site lighting poles as a part of this development. Additional parking lot and building foundation landscaping is incorporated with the auto parts building. Six foot high solid wood fencing currently exists on the south and west property lines to provide screening from the existing adjacent residential areas.

The applicant is proposing a 10,OOOsf facility. Reviewing for that size facility, same proposed use, still does not trigger the need for a TIS, so I will still be waiving the vehicular portion of the TIS. The gentleman I spoke with is also corrected to be BJ DeForge. My apologies to Mr. DeForge. (might be time for a hearing evaluation O) Ward I spoke with BJ DeFord with Hauser Architects regarding a proposal on the Houska property. Per the discussion a new 2000sf wholesale parts warehouse/distribution center will be built. The business will be served from existing accesses onto Riverside. Based upon this=information I am waiving the vehicular portion of the TIS.-I requested BJ contact Aaron Iverson with Transportation Planning for guidance on the ped and bike portion of the TIS. ` ,,F�`o�rt` Collins DEVELOPMENT RE'IE1IUh APPLICATION FORM I For Office Use Only ,� / I Date Submitted ��'/02 Current Planning File # Planner_ / V O S Project Information Project Name: b%OU,f Na AIulomo tTue Project Description (Choose type of request from the list on the back):_ SPe Vorahve {or defcripTolY Location Description/Project Address: Y99QILAWu A-VF - -' F-oT CoUiAvl� /°Q cpig �,25( Major Cross Streets: �Q&& Zone District: Parcel Number: Building/Unit Information Residential: _ Square Feet Commercial. t S 1 713Z Square Feet Industrial: Square Feet Building Floor Area Ratio: Platted Area: Number of Units: Single Family Attached: Single Family Detached: Two Family: — Multi -Family: Dates: Conceptual Review Meeting Neighborhood Meeting Date Hearing Type Site/Area Information Residential Area: Sq.
