LIGHT & POWER (Doug Martine, 970-224-6152):
OK (approved) as of 1/20/09 .....
1. Applicant will be responsible for Light & Power costs. These are estimated to be
$9,000 to relocate the electric transformer plus $2,100 per additional 100 amps of
electric service (over the existing 600 amps). Please contact Light & Power
Engineering at 221-6700 to coordinate power requirements.
2. The front side of the electric transformer will face toward the building. The
landscaping in front of the transformer needs to be low, ground cover type, that is
not over 6 inches tall. It appears that the Landscape Plan needs to be modified to
provide this.
The plans (Site, Landscape, Exterior Elevations, and Refuse Enclosure) must be changed
to address staff's comments before the mylars can be submitted for approval. I need
communication (OK's in the City's Accela system or e-mails) from the City departments
indicating that their comments/concerns have been addressed before mylars will be
accepted.

7. The areas shown on the landscape, site, and utility plans must match.
8. Although it is on the site, I am concerned about the narrow drive through isle
width. What does the turning template look like for the proposed traffic flow?
Neither the entry or exit movements on the drive through align with an existing
drive isle. The U-turn movement from the drive through exit to the access on
Horsetooth looks extremely tight and may pose a safety concern. Also, in the
drive through lane are you proposing vertical or roll-over curb?
9. There is an area inlet shown at the drive through entrance that looks to be directly
in the wheel path of vehicles entering - consider moving it to the center of the
drive isle.
10. What are the dashed lines shown on the proposed sidewalks and why are they
shown?
11. It appears that you are showing a loading dock area on the North West corner of
the building. Taking access across the existing drive isle so close to Horsetooth
may cause a safety concern. What exactly is proposed to happen in that area?
12. Please label all details on the plan clearly. As shown, the plans are very cluttered.
13. Please remove all non applicable notes from the plan.
14. Please show the approximate limits of any proposed street cuts and patches. Also
include the City's street cut note:
Limits of street cut are approximate. Final limits are to be determined in
the field but the City Engineering Inspector. All repairs to be in
accordance with City street repair standards.
15. It appears that the traffic that is stopped to order in the drive through lane will
block the pedestrian access to Horsetooth. Is this the case?
16. A signature block for the ditch company will be required on the Utility Plans
since you are affecting the canal.
17. A demolition sheet in the Utility Plans may be very beneficial since there is
existing infrastructure on the site.
18. From Technical Services: Scanning issues on the site, landscape, and utility plans.
19. More detailed comments to follow with the submittal of a Utility Plan Set.

ENVIRONMENTAL PLANNER (Dana Leavitt, 970-224-6143):
Comments as of 2/11/09 .....
Mugo Pines are not an appropriate plant for the 5' wide planting bed between the
driving lane and the side walk.
2. Existing trees on the property may require review and evaluation by Tim
Buchanan, City Forester, 970-224-6361. Contact Mr. Buchanan to discuss your
property.
3. Any trash enclosures proposed for the project shall comply with Section 3.2.5 of
the Land Use Code. Please provide elevation and details on the materials and
size.
4. Demolition of the existing structure should consider deconstruction as a means to
recycle construction materials and reduce the amount of debris being transported
and dumped at the Larimer County landfill. The following companies can
provide information on methods and services available:
a. Resource, 970-498-9663, 151 North College Avenue, Fort Collins, CO

ENGINEERING (Andrew Carney, 970-221-6605):
Comments as of 2/09/09 .....
Engineering will require the submittal of Utility Plans for this project. Please refer
to the Requirements for Utility Plans checklist in Appendix E-4 of the Larimer
County Urban Area Standards (LCUASS) for what information will be required.
2. Please clearly label all onsite details as: "onsite"
3. Please clearly dimension all parking stalls and drive isles. See Figure 19-7 in
LCUASS for parking stall requirements.
4. Please clearly label what is existing and what is proposed.
5. Please clearly label what is vertical curb and gutter and what roll-over or other
type.
6. Please include details 701, 706, 1407, 1601, 1602, 1606A, 1607, and D10 or D11.

WATER/WASTEWATER (Roger Buffuington, 970-221-6854):
Comments as of 3/27/09 .....
Add a valve on the fire line at the connection to the 24-inch water main and revise
the note as follows: 24" x 4" tapping saddle with thrust block and 4" gate valve.
2. Show and call out a 1 " curb stop on the upstream side of the meter pit as shown in
the Standard Detail 15.
3. Add the City's traffic rated clean -out detail (Standard Detail WW-15).
4. See red -lined plans for other comments.
ZONING (Peter Barnes, 970-416-2355):
Hold as of 3/19/09 .....
The comment response letter indicates that the flag pole has been lowered from
50' to 30', but I don't see a note on the plans indicating the new height. Please
indicate the flag pole height on the plan.
2. It appears that it is feasible to plant a deciduous tree in the island where the flag
pole is located and in the planting area at the northwest corner of the site.
STORMWATER ENGINEERING (Wes Lamarque, 970-416-2418):
Comments as of 2/11/09 .....
1. Permission from the Larimer County No. 2 Canal irrigation company and an off -
site drainage easement is required for the new storm sewer that is draining into the
irrigation ditch.
2. Please provide a drainage letter documenting the new impervious area with this
proposal with what is existing. Also, explain the proposed drainage for this site
and provide any calculations necessary to back up the design.
3. The City's Land Use Code requires all new development or redevelopment to
provide water quality treatment. Please provide water quality treatment for the
impervious areas of the site. This may require a meeting to coordinate what will
be required.
STORMWATER FEES (Jean Pakech, 970-221-6375):
Comments as of 2/05/09 .....
1. If the amount of impervious area is greater than 350 square feet then a Stormwater
Plant Investment Fee will be assessed. Also, a Stormwater Review fee will be
charged in the amount of $334.47.
3
2. The 2 notes within the building as shown on the Site Plan, about brick/stone
veneer and slab, can/should be removed from the plan.
3. On the Site Plan, Setbacks under PROJECT DATA, the only setback this building
is subject to is the "build -to" line setback from West Horsetooth Road. That
distance is 10' - 25' from the right-of-way (ROW) line for Horsetooth Road. The
building as shown satisfies that, being 23' from the ROW line.
4. There are several discrepancies between the Landscape Plan and the Plant List on
the plan ..... Blue Star Juniper - Plant List shows 9 and only 6 on plan; Fanfare
Dwarf Blanket Flower - Plant List shows 20 and there are 21 on plan; Sweet
Woodruff - Plant List shows 20 and only 15 on plan; White Coral Bells - Plant
List shows 20 and there are 22 on plan; Deep Blue Lavender - Plant List shows
93 and there are 104 on plan.
Current Planning is ready for mylars of the plans once these conditions and comments
have been addressed and incorporated on the plans.
POUDRE FIRE AUTHORITY (Carie Dann, 970-416-2869):
OK with Conditions (approved) as of 3/26/09 .....
AUTOMATIC FIRE SPRINKLERS
I spoke with Zac Ayala from Merrick about the fire -sprinkler requirements.
Because the restaurant will be an A-2 Occupancy with an occupant load of 100 or
more, the building is required to be equipped with an approved automatic fire -
sprinkler system. 2006 International Fire Code 903.2.1.2
2. FIRE LINE
Utility plans must show the automatic fire sprinkler line (typically labeled "fire
line") coming to the building. Currently, the utility plans show an existing fire
hydrant and water coming from the water main to the hydrant; this is labeled
"approximate location of existing water line". This is confusing. The plans need to
show the fire hydrant and the water main (and the connection) but also a spinkler
line for the fire sprinklers. Buildings that are required to be fire sprinklered must
have a minimum 6-inch fire line unless hydraulic calculations can support a
smaller fire line. NFPA 13 (2007) 23.1.3
3. KEY BOXES REQUIRED
Poudre Fire Authority requires a key box ("Knox Box") to be mounted in
approved location(s) on every new building equipped a required fire -sprinkler
system or fire -alarm system. 2006 International Fire Code 506.1; PFA BUREAU
POLICY 88-20

City staffs comments relating to the Chick-Fil-A at South College Avenue and West
Horsetooth Road, Minor Amendment - #MA0900004 are as follows:
CURRENT PLANNING (Steve Olt, 970-221-6341):
OK with Conditions (approved) as of 3/25/09 .....
Conditions:
1. Add height (proposed 30') of flag pole on Site Plan.
2. Add note to Site Plan: "Light sources shall be shielded and down directional".
3. Add 2 shade trees to Landscape Plan, 1 in the landscaped island on the east side
of the drive-thru entry (where flag pole is) and 1 in the landscaped area at the
northwest corner of the Chick-Fil-A site.
4. There are 3 scanning issues that must be resolved (TECHNICAL SERVICES):
* Sheet A-2.1, (2) Drive-Thru Elevation - there is one detail reference that
is laid over the stonework above the door that is difficult to read.
* Sheet A-3.4, (2) Floor Plan - there are 2 "line over" text situations that
must be changed (Pipe Bollards, 0'-0" Top of Concrete Paving).
* Sheet A-3.4, (4) SIDE ELEVATION - the "ghosting" line is over the
word ELEVATIONS.
Comments:
What is the 8.5' dimension on the west side of the site, on the sidewalk between
the drive-thru lane and the drive entry into the shopping center?

Attached are City staff comments as they exist this morning, March 30th. Some comments are not updated
because they are not due until Wednesday, April 1st, even though I sent out a request on March 25th to have
comments in by last Friday. Andrew Carney just informed me that he will have his Engineering comments done
today.
