If this is the only site plan.that was submitted, it is lacking sufficient detail to comment on. i.e., need to show parking stall and drive aisle dimensions, building footprint or envelope dimensions and setbacks to lot lines, labeled bike racks, trash enclosure locations, parking lot light poles, etc. Be sure and return all of your redlined plans when you re -submit. If you have any questions regarding these issues or any other issues related to this project, please feel free to contact me at 970-221-6343.

It's difficult to determine if plans currently show one or two new hydrants; UT01 and 02 seem to show a hydrant symbol in one place but a hydrant label in another. General hydrant requirements are below: Fire hydrants, where required, must be the type approved by the water district having jurisdiction and the Fire Department. Hydrant spacing and water flow must meet minimum requirements based on type of occupancy. Minimum flow and spacing requirements include: • Commercial -1,500 gpm at 20 psi residual pressure, spaced not further than 300 feet to the building, on 600-foot centers thereafter These requirements may be modified if buildings are equipped with automatic fire sprinkler systems. 2006 International Fire Code 508.1 and Appendix B Number: 2 _ _ _ _ _ ._ Issue Originated: _06/08/2011 0.6/08/2011: FIRE DEPARTMENT CONNECTION: PFA will allow the FDC for the new ASD to be located on the building, instead of remote.

Currently it appears portions of the existing sidewalk as well as new sidewalk. Number: 2 Issue Originated: 06/08/2011 06/08/2011: It appears that with the attached sidewalk shown on Midpoint Drive as the roadway heads south (though is labeled as detached), relocation of streetlights, fire hydrants, and other utilities would be needed. Out of curiosity, has a detached sidewalk been looked at? It appears there could be room to do an attached sidewalk that would avoid relocation of streetlights, hydrants, and other utilities and perhaps still keep the fence in its present location. Number: 3 - Issue Originated: 06/08/2011 06/08/2011: The access ramps out to Midpoint that are "mid -block" and not at intersections with public streets appears awkward in that there are no access ramps across the street for pedestrians to "receive" and is it preferred to promote these crossing not at intersections? Do these access ramps need to be provided? If these crossings are intended to promote pick-up/drop-off maneuvers, can this be accomplished on -site as Midpoint is not intended to have parking on -street and bike lanes could potentially be added to this roadway. Number: 5 Issue Originated: 06/08/2011 06/08/2011: The conceptual review plans indicated additional storm sewer line installation that would traverse offsite several thousand feet to the future Sharp Point street roadway connection.

Number: 6 Issue Originated: 06/08/2011 06/08/2011: It appears that an existing gutter pan that takes parking lot flows and directs it over the existing sidewalk on Midpoint onto a cross pan across Midpoint is being reconfigured into a concrete channel (Sheet SW02) that empties out onto and over the existing sidewalk on Midpoint. It would be ideal if perhaps in conjunction with the concrete channel, a sidewalk chase were installed to direct flows under the walk and not continue to perpetuate nuisance flows over the sidewalk, as noted in 7.7.4 of the Larimer County Urban Area Street Standards.
