11/29/2011: City Code requires that each building have separate water and sewer services.
Development fees and water rights are based upon the number of living units and the lot area;
therefore, there is no savings in connecting both buildings to the same water service.

11/28/2011: Substantial electric utility system modifications will apply. Normal electric
development charges as well as costs to modify the system will apply. Each apartment must
be individually metered, and meters must be outdoors & accessable to utility personnel. Use
of electric space heating is discouraged. If electric space heating is used, the rate for electric
development charges is higher. Contact Light & Power Engineering at (970)221-6700 to
coordinate the electric utility system design and costs.

11/29/2011: The existing outfall for this site is undesirable. Although this is an existing
condition, the City encourages the applicant to look for opportunities to improve the current
outfall situation with CSU to the north and east.

11/29/2011: The City would like to have a meeting to discuss the best water quality mitigation
techniques available for this site that will improve water quality while not becoming a
maintenance problem. We also have some design suggestions for a sand filter that might help
when no outfall or underdrain exist.

11/29/2011: The boulders that are located on the West side of the driveway. Any way that
these can be setback from the sidewalk? Per the standards 2 feet of separation from the
sidewalk edge to the edge of the feature is required. Figure 16-1, note 1. 1 do not get this
from looking at the plans, but from the street view it looks as if these boulders maybe intended
to provide an edge for the raised area where the tree is. If this is so additional information
needs to be provided on the plans as to how that works — do the timbers stay on the west side
since no boulders are being placed there or ?

11/29/2011: Additional notes are needed to make sure that the curb line as it intersects the
sidewalk drop to a 0 foot height. Also please make sure that it is clear that the driveway is to
be concrete to the property line (important in the case that they decide not to use concrete for
the parking lot) and that a concrete joint is to be provided at the property line.

11/29/2011: Based on the information provided on Sheet A3 of 4 - Shadow Analysis and Sheet
A4 of 4 - Visual Analysis, consideration of the placement and design of the new building
incorporates minimization of impacts on privacy, solar gain and views as it relates to the
existing building to the north and the surrounding area, thereby satisfying the applicable
requirements set forth in Section 3.5.1(G)(1) of the Land Use Code.

11/29/2011: The amount of on -site parking being provided is 24% of what the required
minimum would be if this property were not in the Transit -Oriented Development overlay zone.
Granted, Section 3.2.2(K)(1)(a)l of the Land Use Code states that multi -family dwellings within
the TOD overlay zone shall have no minimum parking requirements.

11/28/2011: The Site & Landscape Plans show bike racks in 3 different locations: 1) outside
the east building entry on the existing building; 2) on new concrete just east of the swimming
pool; and 3) in a covered area on new concrete between the existing and new buildings along
the west side of the property. Perhaps the bike racks should be enhanced so that they are
easier to see on the plans.
