Most of the site is located within the Foothills Drainage Basin where the new development fee is $6, 525 per acre subject to the runoff coefficient. A portion of the site drains north into the Spring Creek Drainage Basin where the storm drainage fee is $2, 175 per acre. The standard drainage and erosion control report and construction plans are required and they must be prepared by a professional engineer registered in Colorado. Onsite detention is required with two a year historic release ratefor water quantity and extended detention is required for water quality treatment. For further information, please contact Glen Schlueter, L 221-6700. • Acknowledged. 31. A drainage and erosion control report and construction plans are required and they must be prepared by a Professional Engineer registered in Colorado. • Acknowledged, included in submittal A 32. Onsite detention is required with a 2-year historic release rate for water quantity and extended detention is Ioutfall required for water quality treatment. The issue with draining the site to Spring Creek is that there isn't an system to Spring Creek There isn't really even a borrow ditch to drain into. So an outfall would need to be constructed and easements obtained if it was not built in the Timberline R.O. W. The issue with draining to the south into the Foothills basin A is again there is no outfall and the release rate is essentially zero since the North Tributary Storm Sewer. was not sized to take the flow from this area. The previous development proposal could accommodate it because the rest of their site drained to the North Tributary Storm Sewer so the runofffrom this site was stored in their pond system. They used the allowed release rate from the rest of their site to drain the system. They were also regarding this site to get it to drain south since it now drains north. • This has been coordinated with the surrounding developments and street construction projects. 33. This site is on the Stormwater Utility inventory map 11L. • Acknowledged. 34. There is an irrigation ditch on the south side of the site that was to be relocated and graded over with the previous proposal. So unless that is done it may be difficultfor this site to drain to the south. Also the irrigation ditch owner will need to approve the plans.

Independent of the consumer price index, City Council may raise the Street Over sizing Fee at any time. v Acknowledged. V 17. Timberline Road is classified as a "major arterial" street which requires an ultimate right-of-way of 141 feet. Therefore, there must be 70.5 feet of right-of-way from property line to centerline of the roadway. Additional right-of-way dedication may or may not be needed depending on how much right-of-way exists now. A separate southbound right -turn lane may be needed as well. In addition, a 15 foot wide utility is easement needed behind the right-of-way line. These dedications maybe made by subdivision plat. Please note that the centerline of the roadway shifts back and forth so the 70.5 feet needed on the western one-halfmay not be the exact width required. Please verify the design of Timberline Road Widening Project with Matt Baker, 221-6605. • Acknowledged, this project has been coordinated with the Timberline over sizing project. 18.

The location of the transformer must be coordinated with Light and Power such that is it within ten feet of hard surface for emergency change -out. Also, since the source ofpower is along the roadway, and if the transformer is visible from the street, then it must be screened with either a solid enclosure (meeting the clearance specifications) or with sufficient landscaping. • The transformer location will be within the secured parking area. 9: A Commercial One ("C-1 ') Form will be required to be completed by an electrical contractor to determine entrance capacity. Normal electrical charges will apply. These fees are based on square footage of the parcel and linear front footage along public streets. Since the site has frontage on four public streets, the linear front foot charge maybe relatively high. Any system modification would beat the developer's expense.

A Transportation Impact Study will be required To determine the scope of this study and which intersections to analyze, please contact Ward Stanford or Eric Bracke, 221-6630. Keep in mind that all modes of travel must be analyzed not just vehicles. The T.I.S. should address the sh f over situation. • Acknowledged, a traffic study has been completed and is included in this development. 15.

Prepared June 14t6, 2005 Vignette Studios 17 Fort Collins Police Facility RESPONSE TO CONCEPTUAL REVIEW COMMENTS 1. The property is zoned M-M-N, Medium Density Mixed -Use Neighborhood A Police Services Building would be considered a Community Facility which is a permitted land use subject to Administrative Review. 0 Acknowledged �.' 2. The maximum number ofparking spaces for general office is 3.0 spaces per 1,000 square feet ofgross,Jloor area. The requested parking is 3.5 spaces per 1,000 square feet. Additional parking spaces maybe . allowed based on occupant loan square foot per employee, or other factors unique to the applicant's request such as shh overlap or the provision of a community meeting room. Please refer to Section 3.2.2(K)(4) for further information on allowances for increased parking for offices. • Acknowledged P3. Since the parking lot exceeds 100 spaces, 10% of the interior must be in landscape islands. • The public lot exceeds this requirement by providing 16.7% of the parking lot as landscape area. This Pincludes numerous islands to visually reduce the size and scale of the parking lot. The secured parking area exceeds this requirement by providing 11.8% of the parking lot as landscape area. 4. Street trees, on 30 to 40 foot intervals along Timberline, should be located to accommodate the future ultimate major arterial cross-section of 141 feet. Street trees will also be needed along both Nancy Gray and Iowa Drives and the north -south street. Foundation shrubs will be needed along the sides of the Lb building that are visible from the public streets. • Street trees are being provided as requested. The trees along Timberline will be located to accommodate the future expansion of Timberline road. Foundation shrubs will be included in the final .. landscape plan. 5. The trash enclosure must be constructed to match the predominant material of the building and be sti ftciently sized for containers for recyclable materials. The trash enclosure will match the building exterior, and will be able to accommodate recycling ' containers. 6. The "build -to" line standard will require that the building be brought up to the corner of Timberline and Nancy Gray Drive. An exception can made for outdoor spaces such as entry plazas. The set back from Timberline should be no more than 25 feet and such that there is no intervening parking lot or drive aisle between the street and building. A sidewalk connecting the building's main entrance to the street sidewalk `- is also required. The site plan presented meets this standard • The proposed site plan creates a pedestrian plaza area off the comer of Timberline and Nancy Gray Drive, connecting the intersection to the building. %a/ The site will be served electricity by the City of Fort Collins Light and Power Department but there is no primary power along Timberline Road at this time. (Electrical facilities were expected to be extended by the proposed Mansion Park P.D.P.) Therefore, right-of-way would need to be dedicated and primary electrical facilities would have to be extended to the site. The source ofpower is on the east side of Timberline near the intersection with Drake Road. Power will be extended north to the site in conjunction with the Timberline Road widening project. This may not be until the summer of 2006. Due to the constraints of construction sequencing, electrical facilities cannot be installed underground until curb and gutter are poured. Vaults will be installed at every public street intersection. Temporary power for construction could be provided by overhead poles. • Acknowledged. Prepared June 10, 2005 Vignette Studios 16
